The physical properties of an atmospheric boundary layer in Wolryong, a west coastal region of Jeju, South Korea, in terms of the atmospheric stability and roughness length, is important and relevant to both engineers and scientists. The study is aiming to understand the atmospheric stability around this region and its effect on the roughness length. We calculate the Monin-Obukhov length(L) against 3 typical regions of the atmospheric condition - unstable regime (-5$-0.2{\leq}H/L{\leq}0.2$) and stable regime (0.2

The lowest load when the equilibrium condition becomes to be unstable is defined as the buckling load. The primary objective of this paper is to be analyse stability boundaries for star dome under combined loads and is to investigate the iteration diagram under the independent loading parameter. In numerical procedure of the geometrically nonlinear problems, Arc Length Method and Newton-Raphson iteration method is used to find accurate critical point(bifurcation point and limit point). In this paper independent loading vector is combined as proportional value and star dome was used as numerical analysis model to find stability boundary among load parameters and many other models as multi-star dome and arch were studied. Through this study we can find the type of buckling mode and the value of buckling load.

The annular and coaxial swirl flows between which LPG is supplied was selected to study the swirling flames in double co-swirl flows. The objective of this study is to research into the effects of double co-swirl flow conditions on the stability limit, the reverse flow boundary, and the time mean temperature distributions of the swirling flames. The increase of swirl intensity of axial flow makes the stability limit decrease, but the annular swirl flow (SM>0.5) makes stability and swirl intensity of axial flow increase, And the existence of axial swirl flow makes flame intensive and small in size, and this may be applicable to the design of high power compact combustor.

In this paper we are concerned with the performance of structural stability of torsion in square cross section of a beam with holes. The critical load is defined as the smallest load at which the equilibrium of the structure fails to be stable as the load is slowly increased from zero. The beams subjected to torsion are frequently encountered in general structures and these forces influence to the stability of structure. The boundary element method is found to be very efficient and accurate for the analysis of torsion problems including complex boundary conditions with respect to its simplicity and generality. In this paper, it is required to derive the boundary element formulation for torsion problem and integrate directly on the discrete boundary. To investigate the validity of the developed computer program, three distinctly solid cross-sections which are elliptical, rectangular and triangular one are analyzed, and comparisons are made with analytical approaches where these can also be used.

It has been confirmed that implementation of the no-slip boundary conditions for the lattice-Boltzmann method play an important role in the overall accuracy of the numerical solutions as well as the stability of the solution procedure. We in this paper propose a new algorithm, i.e. the method of the dynamic boundary condition for no-slip boundary condition. The distribution functions on the wall along each of the links across the physical boundary are assumed to be composed of equilibrium and nonequilibrium parts which inherit the idea of Guo's extrapolation method. In the proposed algorithm, we apply a dynamic equation to reflect the computational slip velocity error occurred on the actual wall boundary to the correction; the calculated slip velocity error dynamically corrects the fictitious velocity on the wall nodes which are subsequently employed to the computation of equilibrium distribution functions on the wall nodes. Along with the dynamic selfcorrecting process, the calculation efficiently approaches the steady state. Numerical results show that the dynamic boundary method is featured with high accuracy and simplicity.

In this paper, we adapt a modified internal energy non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation thermal boundary condition to the thermal lattice Boltzmann model (TLBM). This model is the double populations approach to simulate hydrodynamic and thermal fields. The bounce-back boundary condition which is a traditional boundary condition of lattice Boltzmann method has only a first order in numerical accuracy at the boundary and numerical instability. A non-equilibrium first-order extrapolation boundary condition has been verified to be of better numerical stability than the bounce-back boundary condition and this boundary condition is proved to be of second-order accuracy for the flat boundaries. The two-dimensional natural convection flow in a square cavity with Pr=0.71 and various Rayleigh numbers are simulated. The results are found to be in good agreement with those of previous studies.

A reduced-order linear feedback controller, which is used to control the linear disturbance in two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow, is applied to a boundary layer flow for stability control. Using model reduction and linear-quadratic-Gaussian/loop-transfer-recovery control synthesis, a distributed controller is designed from the linearized two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. This reduced-order controller, requiring only the wall-shear information, is shown to effectively suppress the linear disturbance in boundary layer flow under the uncertainty of Reynolds number. The controller also suppresses the nonlinear disturbance in the boundary layer flow, which would lead to unstable flow regime without control. The flow is relaminarized in the long run. Other effects of the controller on the flow are also discussed.

This paper proposes a intelligent gain and boundary layer based sliding mode control (SMC) method for robotic systems with unknown model uncertainties. For intelligent gain and boundary layer, we employ the self recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN) which has the properties such as a simple structure and fast convergence. In our control structure, the SRWNNs are used for estimating the width of boundary layer, uncertainty bound, and nonlinear terms of robotic systems. The adaptation laws for all parameters of SRWNNs and reconstruction error bounds are derived from the Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used for an on-line control of robotic systems with unknown uncertainties. Accordingly, the proposed method can overcome the chattering phenomena in the control effort and has the robustness regardless of unknown uncertainties. Finally, simulation results for the three-link manipulator, one of the robotic systems, are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Hydrodynamic stability equations are formulated for natural convection flows adjacent to a heated or cooled, inclined, isothermal surface in pure water at $4^{\circ}C$, where the density variation with temperature becomes nonlinear. The resulting stability equations, when reduced to ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation, constitute a two-point boundary-value problem, which was solved numerically. It is found from the obtained stability results that the neutral stability curves are systematically shifted to have lower critical Grashof numbers, as the inclination angle of upward-facing plate increases. Also, the nose of the neutral stability curve becomes blunter as the angle increases. It implies that the greater the inclination of the upward-facing plate, the more susceptible of the flow to instability for the wide range of disturbance wave number and frequency.
