We investigate the multiple nontrivial solutions of the asymmetric beam equation $u_{tt}+u_{xxxx}=b_1[{(u + 2)}^+-2]+b_2[{(u + 3)}^+-3]$ with Dirichlet boundary condition and periodic condition on t. We reduce this problem into a two-dimensional problem by using variational reduction method and apply the Mountain Pass theorem to find the nontrivial solutions of the equation.

We prove a theorem which shows the existence of at least three ${\pi}$-periodic solutions of the wave equation with asymptotical linearity. We obtain this result by the finite dimensional reduction method which reduces the critical point results of the infinite dimensional space to those of the finite dimensional subspace. We also use the critical point theory and the variational method.

This paper presents finite element analyses solution in the travelling magnetic field problem. The travelling magnetic field problem is subject to convective-diffusion equation. Therefore, the solution derived from Galerkin-FEM with linear interpolation function may oscillate between the adjacent nodes. A simple model with Dirichlet, Neumann and Periodic boundary condition respectively, have been analyzed to investigate stabilities of solutions. It is concluded that the solution of Galerkin-FEM may oscillate according to boundary condition and element type, but that of Upwind-FFM is stable regardless boundary condition.

This study was performed for the purpose of analyzing the effect of tide on the stress-strain behavior in the boundary surface of sea dike embankment. Tide is a dynamic condition, but there are not suitable numerical models to solve the dynamic embankment condition caused by tide. So the analysis was simplified to quasi dynamic as follow. First, seepage by tide was analyzed according to elapsed time, and the results of the analysis at every hour during one periodic cycle time of 12 hours were applied to the pore water pressure conditions of stress-strain analysis with hyperbolic model by Duncan and Chang. The place at which maximum shear strain took place in the analysis result moved up and down repeatedly along the boundary of the dredged sand fill section and the crashed stone filter section. The value of maximum shear strain was large at high water level of tide. This result means that contraction and relaxation occur in turn repeatedly at every specific position along the boundary, and the repeated action compact loose position with sand moved down from the upper position by gravity. The experiment with the small sea dike model showed the result consistent with the numerical analysis. The surface of sea side on the dike collapsed at high water level after a couple of repetition of the rising and falling of water.

Euler and Navier-Stokes flow analyses for helicopter rotor in hover were performed as low and high fidelity analysis models respectively for the future multidisciplinary design optimization(MDO). These design-oriented analyses possess several attributes such as variable complexity, sensitivity-computation capability and modularity which analysis models involved in MDO are recommended to provide with. To realize PC-based analyses for both fidelity models, reduction of flow domain was made by appling farfield boundary condition based on 3-dimensional point sink with simple momentum theory and also periodic boundary condition in the azimuthal direction. Correlations of thrust, torque and their sensitivities between low and high complexity models were tried to evaluate the applicability of these analysis models in MDO process. It was found that the low-fidelity Euler analysis model predicted inaccurate sensitivity derivatives at relatively high angle of attack.

We investigate the existence of solutions u(x, t) for a perturbation b[$(\xi+\eta+1)^+-1$] of the hyperbolic system with Dirichlet boundary condition (0.1) = $L\xi-{\mu}[(\xi+\eta+1)^+-1]+f$ in $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\;{\times})\;\mathbb{R}$, $L\eta={\nu}[(\xi+\eta+1)^+-1]+f$ in $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\;{\times})\;\mathbb{R}$ where $u^+$ = max{u,0}, ${\mu},\nu$ are nonzero constants. Here $\xi,\eta$ are periodic functions.

Recently developed FDS5 CFD code has employed a near-wall flow treatment method which is Werner-Wengle wall law provided by NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology). In this study, the wall law has been verified against DNS(Direct Numerical Simulation) data in the parallel plate. The $y^+$ was kept above 11 to fulfill the near-wall flow requirement in the grid generation. The total grid was $32{\times}32{\times}32$. The boundary condition for inlet and outlet was periodic condition and for both side, symmetric condition was used. The fully developed turbulent flow was generated and Re = 10,700. The simulated results were compared with DNS data. RANS results were also used for verification.

A numerical investigation on the three-dimensional laminar natural convection heat transfer in the periodically fully developed PCB channel has been performed. When heat generating blocks mounted on the adiabatic wall make a channel with their facing shrouding wall, the flow inside the channel becomes periodically fully developed. A single module in the periodically fully developed region is chosen for computational domain in order to save computer storage and computational time. The periodic boundary condition is applied in the anlaysis. The effects of the parameters such as the Rayleigh number, the number of the modules, and the height of channel are examined to obtain the optimum condition for the enhancement of the cooling effectiveness. The result shows that the cooling effect is improved with increasing Rayleigh number and channel height, and decreasing the number of the module. The result also indicates that increasing the height of the channel and number of the module is recommended for a limited space.

Along the shoreline a special treatment is required to simulate movement of periodic waves such as tsunami and tide because of continuous movement of shoreline as waves rise and recede. A moving boundary treatment is first proposed to track the movement of shoreline in this study. The treatment is then employed to obtain a maximum inundation area to be used for mitigation of coastal flooding. The obtained maximum inundation zone for a specific location is compared to that of available observed data. A reasonable agreement is observed.

In this study, we consider the characteristics of channel flow in the presence of an infinite streamwise array of equispaced identical rotating circular cylinders. This flow configuration can be regarded as a model representing a micro channel or an internal heat exchanger with cylindrical vortex generators. A numerical parametric study has been carried out by varying Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the cylinder diameter, and the gap between the cylinders and the channel wall for some selected angular speeds. An immersed boundary method was employed to facilitate implementing the cylinders on a Cartesian grid system. No-slip condition is employed at all solid boundaries including the cylinders, and the flow is assumed to be periodic in the streamwise direction. The presence of the rotating circular cylinders arranged periodically in the streamwise direction causes a significant topological change of the flow, leading to increase of mean friction on the channel walls. More quantitative results as well as qualitative physical explanations are presented to justify the effectiveness of rotating cylinders to modify flow topology, which might be used to enhance heat transfer on the channel walls.
