In this research a numerical simulation method is developed for moving body in free surface flows using fixed staggered rectangular grid system. The non-linear free surface near the body is defined by marker-density method. The body boundary is defined by line segment connecting the points where the body surface and grid line meet. Continuity equation and Navier-Stokes equations are used as governing equations and the equations are coupled with two-step projection method. The velocities and pressures of body boundary and free surface cells are calculated with simultaneous iterative method. To treat a body movement in a fixed grid system, the volume displaced by moving body is added to the divergence of the body boundary cell. For the verification of the present numerical method. vortex shedding period of advancing cylinder is calculated and the period is compared with existing experiment results. Moreover, added mass and damping coefficients of a vertically excited box are calculated and the computed results are compared with published experiment results. Impulsive pressure and water level variation due to sloshing phenomenon are simulated and the results are compared with published experiment results. Varying the plunger shape, the waves generated by plunging type wave maker are compared with the 2nd order Stokes wave theory The plunger shape generating the wave that shows the best agreement with the theory is represented.

Numerical solutions for the convection-dominated melting in a rectangular cavity are presented. The enthalpy-porosity model is employed as the mathematical model. This model is applied in conjunction with the EIT method to detect boundary movement in a phase changing environment. The absorption and evolution of latent heat during the phase change is dealt with by the enthalpy-based energy equation. This seems to be more efficient than resolving the temperature-based energy equation. The velocity switch-off, which is required when solid changes into liquid, is modeled by the porous medium assumption. For efficiency and simplicity of the solutions procedure, this paper proposes a simple algorithm, which iterates the temperature and the liquid fraction of the cells comprising the front layer. The numerical results agree reasonably well with the experimental data and other previous works using the transformed-grid system.

The present study has been conducted to examine the effect of grid resolution on the predicted results for electric cable fire using pyrolysis model in FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator, version 5). The grid independent test for different grid resolutions has been performed for a PE coating cable and the grid resolution is defined by the non-dimensional characteristic length of fire and mean grid size. The calculated maximum heat release rate and mean flame spread rate were almost constant for higher grid resolution of 20${\sim}$25 and the computing time for the grid resolution takes approximately 20hours to solve flame propagation with pyrolysis model. The geometrical simplification of a electric cable dose not greatly affect on the maximum heat release rate and flame spread rate and the rectangular approximation of cable shape gives acceptable result comparing with the round cable with stepwise grid.

The radiation pattern of a rectangular-grid array antenna consisted of rectangular waveguides is represented by multiplication of its element and array factors. Calculated radiation patterns for excitation of TES110T mode inside the waveguides suffer from the blindness at a particular direction on E-plane. Numerical simulations show that the blindness can be removed by inserting dielectric plug inside the waveguides or covering dielectric sheath in front of the waveguides.

Among the various forms of interpolating polynomial for approximation, this paper is a study about the characteristics of piecewise Lagrange interpolating polynomials. And throughout the study, an attempt is made to construct the two-dimensional ap proximating function over Rectangular Grid and Triangular Grid by using the one-dim ensional interpolating polynomials.

We study the incomprssible Navier Stokes equations for the flow inside contraction geometry. The governing equations are expressed in the vorticity-stream function formulations. A rectangular computational domain is arised by elliptic grid generation technique. The numerical solution is based on a technique of automatic numerical generation of acurvilinear coordinate system by transforming the governing equation into computational plane. The transformed equations are approximated using central differences and solved simultaneously by successive over relaxation iteration. The time dependent of the vorticity equation solved by using explicit marching procedure. We will apply the technique on several irregular-shapes.

In the present paper, flow fields around two dimensional single and two circular cylinders are analysed by a finite difference method. Navier-Stokes and the continuity equations an solved to simulate the flow fields. A overlapped grid system(the composite of a body boundary-fitted grid system near the body and a rectangular grid system for other flow fields) is used for this calculation. In the use of overlapped grid system, it is most significant thing to exchange the physical quantities from one grid system to the other one continuously, In this research, the linear interpolations of physical quantaties are done for this purpose in the overlapped region. The numerical calculations are carried out for the flows around a circular cylinder and two cylinders to verify the accuracy of present method. The flow fields around two cylinders facing the flow with side by side and tandem arrangement are analysed. The results are compared to other experimental and computational ones done in other single grid system.

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the flow around rectangular cylinders with various side ratios, D/H, from 0.2 to 2.0, was carried out for Reynolds number of 10³ by using a multi-directional finite difference method on a regular-arranged multi-grid. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data. It is found that fluid dynamic characteristics of rectangular cylinders alternate between the high-pressure mode and the low-pressure mode of the base pressure for D/H=0.2-0.6. We show that this phenomenon is induced by the change of the flow pattern around rectangular cylinders.

We investigate two-dimensional laminar flow around rectangular cylinders placed in a uniform stream. Numerical simulations are performed, using finite volume method, in the ranges of $50{\leq}Re{\leq}150$ and $0.1{\leq}W/H{\leq}1.0$, where Re and W/H are the Reynolds number and the width-to-height ratio, respectively. The immersed boundary method is used to handle the rectangular cylinder in a rectangular grid system. Comparisons with the previous results show good agreement in Strouhal number, drag and lift coefficient. The present study reports the detailed information of flow structure at different width-to-height ratios in the ranges of $50{\leq}Re{\leq}150$.
