  • This paper presents a study of the effects of the free surface to marine propeller including the mesh effect of the models. In the present study, we conduct the numerical simulation for propeller performance employing the openwater test. The numerical simulations compare the meshing strategies for the propeller and show the effects on both thrust and torque. OpenFOAM is applied to solve the propeller problem and then open water performances of KCS propeller (KP505) are estimated using a Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) solver and the turbulence of the $K-{\omega}$ SST model. Unstructured meshes are used in the numerical simulation employing hexahedral meshing for mesh generation. The arbitrary mesh interfacing (AMI) and multiple rotating frame (MRF) are compared to define the best meshing strategy. The meshing strategies are evaluated through 3 classifications, i.e., coarse, medium, and fine mesh. Thus, the propeller can be performed utilizing the best mesh strategy. The computational results are validated by comparison with the experimental results. The $K_T$, $K_Q$, and efficiency of the propeller are compared to an experimental result and for all of the meshing strategies. Thus, the simulations show the influence of meshing in order to perform the propeller performances.

  • 본 논문에서는 GPU기반으로 옷감을 찢는 데 필요한 동적 재메싱를 실시간으로 처리할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 얇은 쉘 재질은 물리 기반 시뮬레이션/애니메이션, 게임, 가상현실 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 옷감을 찢는 것은 기하학과 연결 구조를 동적으로 갱신해야 되기 때문에 그 처리 과정이 복잡하고 계산양이 크다. 특히 인터랙티브 콘텐츠를 다루는 분야에서는 이 과정이 빠르게 수행되어야 한다. 대부분의 방법에서는 실시간을 유지하기 위해 저해상도 시뮬레이션을 통해 재메싱을 수행하거나 이미 분할된 패턴을 그대로 이용하기 때문에 동적 재메싱이라고 보기 어려우며, 찢어진 패턴의 품질이 낮다. 본 논문에서는 GPU에 최적화된 동적 재메싱 알고리즘을 새롭게 제안함으로써 고해상도 옷감 찢어짐을 실시간으로 처리할 수 있게 한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 사전에 쪼개진 메쉬 형태가 아닌 동적 재메싱이 가능하기 때문에 가상 수술시뮬레이션이나, 실시간을 요구하는 게임 및 가상환경에서 물리 기반 모델링울 할 때 활용될 수 있다.

  • The authors have proposed methods (lead crowning and profile modification) for modifying the geometry of spur gears and investigated the contact pattern as well as the transmission errors to recommend the appropriate amount of modification. Based on the investigation, dynamic load of the modified spur gear drive has been calculated, which is helpful to predict the life of the designed gear drive. Computer programs for simulation of meshing, contact and dynamics of the modified spur gears have been developed. The developed theory is illustrated with numerical examples.

  • The design and simulation of meshing of a single enveloping worm-gear drive with modified surfaces is presented. Generally worm-gear is generated by the hob which is identical to the worm. This process guarantees the conjugation between the worm and the gear but results in a line contact at every instant which is very sensitive to misalignment. The localization of bearing contact is necessary to reduce the sensitivity of the worm-gear drive to misalignment. Practically this localization is achieved by application of an oversized worm type hob to cut the worm-gear. The oversized hob approach is very practical and effective to localize bearing contact but can not provide the conjugation between the worm and the modified worm-gear. This work proposes an analytical procedure to make the worm surface conjugate to the worm-gear which is cut by the oversized hob. The developed computer program allows the investigation of the influence of misalignment on the shift of the bearing contact and the determination of the transmission errors, the contact ratio and the principle curvatures. The developed approach has been applied for ZK type of single-enveloping worm-gear drives and the developed theory is illustrated with a numerical example.

  • 양질의 사면체 요소망은 유한요소법 기반의 변형체 시뮬레이션이나 사면체 기반의 유체 시뮬레이션 등에서 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 옥트리 기반의 적응적 부호거리장을 이용하여 다각형 표면을 가진 물체의 내부를 양질의 이면각을 가진 사면체로 채우는 볼륨 요소망 구성 방법을 제안한다. 옥트리를 이용하여 물체 내부에서 표면까지 다양한 크기의 사면체를 이용하여 생성된 요소의 개수를 줄이며, 옥트리의 인접 셀들 사이의 레벨 차이를 제한하여 양질의 이면각을 가진 요소망을 얻는다. 옥트리 기반의 요소망 생성에 있어서 물체 표면까지의 부호거리를 구하는 것은 매우 중요한 연산이다. 본 논문은 하향식으로 생성한 옥트리의 꼭짓점들에서 부호거리장을 빠르게 구하는데 중점을 두고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 사면체 요소망 구성 방법은 실행 시간이 빠르고 안정적이며 구현이 쉬운 장점을 가지고 있다.

  • In this paper, an automated adaptive mesh generation scheme, based on an advancing-front-Delaunay method, is presented fur finite element simulation of three dimensional bulk metal farming processes. Basic approach is introduced in detail, including a surface meshing and volume meshing technique and a mesh density control scheme. The presented approach is applied to automatic forging simulation in order to evaluate the effect of the developed schemes. Comparison shows a good agreement between required mesh density and generated mesh density, implying that the presented approach is appropriate for automatic mesh generation in metal forming simulation.

  • In this paper, the coupling of fine-mesh computational fluid dynamics (CFD) thermal-hydraulics (TH) code and neutronics code is achieved using the Ansys Fluent User Defined Function (UDF) for code development, including parallel meshing mapping, data computation, and data transfer. Also, some CFD schemes are designed for mesh mapping and data transfer to guarantee physical conservation in the coupling computation. Because there is no rigorous research that gives robust guidance on the various CFD schemes that must be obtained before the fine-mesh coupling computation, this work presents a quantitative analysis of the CFD meshing and mapping schemes to improve the accuracy of the value and location of key physical prediction. Furthermore, the effect of the sub-pin scale coupling computation is also studied. It is observed that even the pin-resolved coupling computation can also create a large deviation in the maximum value and spatial locations, which also proves the significance of the research on mesh mapping and data transfer for CFD code in a coupling computation.

  • The most important criteria of quality of meshing and contact of gears are the low level of noise and the sufficient dimensions and location of the contact. A new approach for determination of machine-tool settings for spiral bevel gears is proposed. The proposed settings provide a function of transmission errors, the desired location and orientation of contact. The function is able to absorb piece-wise linear functions of transmission errors that are caused by the gear misalignment and to reduce the gear noise. The determination of pinion machine-tool settings is based on the local synthesis of gears. A computer program for simulation of meshing bearing contact and determination of transmission errors for misaligned has been developed.

  • Accidental gaseous losses from industrial processes can pose considerable health and environmental risks but assessing their health, safety and environmental impact is problematic. Improved understanding and simulation of the dispersion of emissions in the vicinity of storage tanks is required. The present study aims to assess the capability of the turbulence closures and meshing alternatives in a commercially available CFD code for predicting dispersion in the vicinity of cubes and circular cylindrical storage tanks. The performance of the $k-{\varepsilon}$ and Reynolds Stress turbulence models and meshing alternatives for these cases are compared to experimental data. The CFD simulations are very good qualitatively and, in many cases, quantitatively. A mesh with prismatic elements is more accurate than a tetrahedral mesh. Overall the Reynolds stress model performs slightly better than the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model.
