With the lower supply voltage and the higher operating frequency in integrated circuits, the analysis of the power distribution network (PDN) including on-chip inductances becomes more important. In this paper, an effective inductance extraction method for a regular on-chip power grid structure is proposed. The loop inductance model applicable to chip layout is proposed and the inductance extraction tool using the proposed inductance model based on post layout RC circuits is developed. The accuracy of the proposed loop model and the developed tool is verified by comparing the test circuit simulation results with those from the partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) model. The voltage fluctuation from the RLC circuits extracted by the developed tool was examined for the analysis of on-chip inductance effects. The significance of on-chip power grid inductance was investigated by the co-simulation of chip-package-PCB.

This study focused on the roll motion characteristics of a two-dimensional (2D) rectangular floating structure under regular beam sea conditions. An experiment was conducted in a 2D wave tank for a roll free decay test in calm water and the roll motion in a range of regular waves with and without heave motion to investigate the motion response and heave influence on the roll motion. A numerical study was carried out using Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS)-based CFD simulations. A grid convergence test was conducted to accurately capture the wave condition on the free surface based on the overset mesh and wave forcing method. It was found in the roll free decay test that the numerical results agreed well with the experimental results for the natural roll period and roll damping coefficient. It was also observed that the heave motion had an impact on the roll motion, and the responses of the heave and roll motion from the CFD simulations were in reasonable agreement with those from the experiment.

The 3-D unsteady viscous flow around an impulsively started rotating marine propeller is simulated using VIC(Vortex-In-Cell) method which is adequate to analyze the strong vortical flow around complicatedly-shaped body. The computational procedure is governed by the vorticity transport equation in Lagrangian form. In order to solve the equation, a regular grid which is independent to the shape of a body is introduced and each term of the equation is evaluated numerically on the grid by applying immersed boundary concept. In this paper, the overall algorithm including the formulation of governing equations and boundary conditions is described and some computational results are presented with discussing their physical validity.

The high-order Laplacian-type filter, which is capable of providing isotropic and sharp cut-off filtering on the spherical domain, is essential in processing geophysical data. In this study, a spherical high-order filter was designed by combining the Fourier method with finite difference-method in the longitude and latitude, respectively. The regular grid system was employed in the filter, which has uniform angular spacing including the poles. The singularity at poles was eliminated by incorporating variable transforms and continuity-matching boundary conditions across poles. The high-order filter was assessed using the Rossby-Haurwitz wave, the observed geopotential, and observed wind field. The performance of the filter was found comparable to the filter based on the Galerkin procedure. The filter, employing the finite difference method, can be designed to give any target order of accuracy, which is an important advantage being unavailable in other methods. The computational complexity is represented with 2n-1 diagonal matrices solver with n being the target order of accuracy. Along with the availability of arbitrary target-order, it is also advantageous that the filter can adopt the reduced grid to increase computational efficiency.

The present study is aimed to investigate flow characteristics of two-dimensional backward-fac-ing step by numerical approach. A convection conservation difference scheme based upon SOLA algorithm is used for the solution of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate the laminar transitional and trubulent flow conditions at which the experimental data can be available for the backlward-facing step. The twenty kinds of reynolds number are used for the calculations. In an effort to demonstrate that the reported solutions are dependent on the mesh refinement computations are performed on seven different meshes of uniformly increasing refinement. also to investigate the result of inflow dependence two kinds of the inflow profile are chosen for the laminar flow. Irregular grid is adopted to minimize the errors on the satis-faction fo the discretized continuity. As criterion of benchmarking the result of numerical simula-tion reattachment lengthis used for the selected Reynolds numbers. The results of the present study prove the fact that the numerical predictions agree well with the experimental data and the flow characteristics are shown at the backward-facing step.

Tartan, the woven, checked, and wool textile considered by many to be originally from Scotland, has in fact been in use in a range of forms across numerous cultures and during various historical periods. The characteristic checked feature is due to the assembly of different coloured threads in both warp and weft directions which intersect at 90 degrees in a combination known as a sett. For well over one hundred years, different setts and thus different colour combinations have been associated closely with different geographical regions within Scotland, as well as different clans or families. Tartan-type textiles have reached popularity at various times and those have often been a predicted fashion trend suggested, for example, by contributors to fashion gatherings such as Premier Vision in Paris. Often proposed designs are best considered based on tartan combinations rather than simple reproductions. Promotional terms such as "patched checks" or "textured checks" have been common, and often these have been derived from tartan-type constructions. This paper explores novel pattern design methods by identifying the underlying grid structures and proportions exhibited by various well-known tartan setts. The possibility of pattern development from tartan grids and their manipulations is thus the focus of attention. An insight into the methodology associated with the production of original pattern designs is thus provided.

Modern society is the age of a high state of information and demands more effective land information. Moreover, because the use of land in Korea is intensive, Korea requires more synthetic and systematic geographical information for which the digitizing of terrain is prerequisite. This study aims at development of the data structure which is suitable to the digitizing of terrain for Geographical Information System(GIS). Regular grid has been used generally in Digital Terrain Model(DTM), for it is easy to manipulate. But regular cannot reflect well the terrain surface features. In the meantime, Triangulated Irregular Network(TIN) has complex data structure, but it can describe well terrain surface features and is useful in various applications. In this paper the method which constructs effective DTM by improving TIN has been researched.

Green water load is an important parameter to be considered in designing a modern ship or offshore structures like FPSO and FSRU. In this research, a numerical simulation method for green water phenomenon is introduced. The Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation are used as governing equations. The equations are calculated using Finite Difference Method(FDM) in rectangular staggered grid system. To increase the numerical accuracy near the body, the Cartesian cut cell method is employed. The nonlinear free-surface during green water incident is defined by Marker-density method. The green waters on a box in regular waves are simulated. The simulation results are compared with other experimental and computational results for verification. To check the applicability to moving ship, the green water of the ship which is towed by uniform force in regular wave, is simulated. The ship is set free to heave and to surge.

In this study, the analysis of 2DOF (2 Degree Of Freedom) motion and added resistance of a ship in regular head waves is carried out using RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) approach. In order to improve the accuracy for large amplitude motions, the dynamic overset scheme is adopted. One of the dynamic overset schemes, Suggar++ is applied to WAVIS which is the in-house RANS code of KRISO (Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering). The grid convergence test is carried out using the present scheme before the analysis. The target hull form is KRISO VLCC tanker (KVLCC2) and 13 wave length conditions are applied. The present scheme shows the improved results comparing with the results of WAVIS2 in the non-inertial reference frame. The dynamic overset scheme is confirmed to give the comparatively better results for the large amplitude motion cases than the non-inertial frame based scheme.

A computer code that is based on the Pseudo-spectral finite difference algorithm using staggered grid is developed for the wave propagation modeling in the time domain. The advantage of a finite difference approximation is that any geometrically complicated media can be modeled. Staggered grids are advantageous as it provides much more accuracy than using a regular grid. Pseudo-spectral methods are those that evaluate spatial derivatives by multiplying a wavenumber by the Fourier transform of a pressure wave-field and performing the inverse Fourier transform. This method is very stable and reduces memory and the number of computations. The synthetic results by this algorithm agree with the analytic solution in the infinite and half space. The time domain modeling was implemented in various models. such as half-space. Pekeris waveguide, and range dependent environment. The snapshots showing the total wave-field reveals the Propagation characteristic or the acoustic waves through the complex ocean environment.
