This paper demonstrates numerical techniques for complex large-scale modeling with microplane constitutive theories for reinforced high strength concrete, which for these applications, is defined to be around the 7000 psi (48 MPa) strength as frequently found in protective structural design. Applications involve highly impulsive loads, such as an explosive detonation or impact-penetration event. These capabilities were implemented into the authors' finite element code, ParaAble and the PRONTO 3D code from Sandia National Laboratories. All materials are explicitly modeled with eight-noded hexahedral elements. The concrete is modeled with a microplane constitutive theory, the reinforcing steel is modeled with the Johnson-Cook model, and the high explosive material is modeled with a JWL equation of state and a programmed burn model. Damage evolution, which can be used for erosion of elements and/or for post-analysis examination of damage, is extracted from the microplane predictions and computed by a modified Holmquist-Johnson-Cook approach that relates damage to levels of inelastic strain increment and pressure. Computation is performed with MPI on parallel processors. Several practical analyses demonstrate that large-scale analyses of this type can be reasonably run on large parallel computing systems.

We studied the large scale dynamo process in a system forced by helical magnetic field. The dynamo process is basically nonlinear, but can be linearized with 𝛼&𝛽 coefficients and large scale magnetic field $\bar{B}$. This is very useful to the investigation of solar (stellar) dynamo. A coupled semi-analytic equations based on statistical mechanics are used to investigate the exact evolution of 𝛼&𝛽. This equation set needs only magnetic helicity ${\bar{H}}_M({\equiv}{\langle}{\bar{A}}{\cdot}{\bar{B}}{\rangle},\;{\bar{B}}={\nabla}{\times}{\bar{A}})$ and magnetic energy ${\bar{E}}_M({\equiv}{\langle}{\bar{B}}^2{\rangle}/2)$. They are fundamental physics quantities that can be obtained from the dynamo simulation or observation without any artificial modification or assumption. 𝛼 effect is thought to be related to magnetic field amplification. However, in reality the averaged 𝛼 effect decreases very quickly without a significant contribution to ${\bar{B}}$ field amplification. Conversely, 𝛽 effect contributing to the magnetic diffusion maintains a negative value, which plays a key role in the amplification with Laplacian ∇²(= - k²) for the large scale regime. In addition, negative magnetic diffusion accounts for the attenuation of plasma kinetic energy E_V(= 〈 U² 〉/2) (U: plasma velocity) when the system is saturated. The negative magnetic diffusion is from the interaction of advective term - U • ∇ B from magnetic induction equation and the helical velocity field. In more detail, when 'U' is divided into the poloidal component U_pol and toroidal one U_tor in the absence of reflection symmetry, they interact with - B • ∇ U and - U • ∇ B from ∇ × 〈 U × B 〉 leading to 𝛼 effect and (negative) 𝛽 effect, respectively. We discussed this process using the theoretical method and intuitive field structure model supported by the simulation result.

항 외곽시설 신뢰성 설계가 합리적으로 구현하기 위해서는 우리나라 해양환경 특성이 반영된 확률모형이 필요하며 이러한 시각에서 본 연구에서는 천 해역 확률모형 개발을 위한 기초연구의 일부로 불규칙 파랑 천수 과정을 수치 모의하였다. 수치 모의는 자연해안에서 흔히 관측되는 사주가 원빈에 형성된 해안을 대상으로 수행하였으며 파랑모형은 spatially filtered Navier-Stokes Eq., LES[Large Eddy Simulation], one equation dynamic Smagorinsky turbulence closure 등으로 구성하였다. 불규칙 파랑은 우리나라 동해안에서 관측되는 너울 특성을 반영하기 위해 다양한 첨두 증강계수를 지니는 JONSWAP 스펙트럼과 random phase method를 사용하여 모의하였다. 파고분포의 모수는 먼저 수치 모의에서 관측된 자유수면 시계열 자료를 threshold crossing method로 파별 해석[wave by wave analysis]하여 개별 파랑을 특정하고, 이어 이렇게 특정된 파마루와 파곡 빈도 해석결과로부터 산출하였다. 모의결과 현재 천 해역 파고분포를 대표하는 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포는 큰 파고와 작은 파고 발생확률은 과다하게, 중간 크기 파고 발생확률은 과소하게 평가하는 것으로 모의 되었으며, 이에 반해 본 논문에서 제시된 파고분포의 경우 일치도가 상당하였다. 또한, 전술한 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포와의 간극은 쇄파역에서 제일 현저하게 관측되어 수정 Glukhovskiy 파고분포를 쇄파역 언저리에 거치되는 외곽시설 신뢰성 설계에 적용하는 일은 지양되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
