A comprehensive cycle simulation was developed to predict the performance of gasoline engine including intake and exhaust systems with variation of operating conditions and design factors. In this study, the gas exchange model, compression and expansion model, two-zone combustion model and heat transfer model were used. In order to confirm the feasibility of the simulation program, the calculated results were compared with experimental results. P-$\theta$ diagrams, I. M. E. P. and S. F. C by means of calculation showed acceptable quantitative agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, this program is particularly well adapted to indicating the direction of the optimal design and optimal operating conditions for gasoline engine.

As a mean of increasing engine power, great attention has been concentrated on the turbo-charging owing to better fuel economy, smaller engine size and lower emission. The performance in turbocharged engine depends not only on the efficiency of the engine and the turbocharger used, but also on the total characteristics of the system by the matching turbocharger to the engine. The matching of the turbocharger to the engine has been usually accomplished by the empirical techniques with a great deal of laborious work. It would be better to predict the performance and emission in the turbocharged engine using the effective simulation model. In this study, computer simulation program has been developed to predict the transient variation of properties of gas in the cylinder, intake and exhaust pipes, the engine performances and emissions.

A numerical prediction was performed to clarify the air motion in the cylinder of an axisymmet-ric four-stroke reciprocating engine at its intake and compression stage. A scheme of finite volume method is used for the calculation. Modified $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is adopted and wall function is applied to the grids near the wall. The predicted mean velocity and rms velocity profiles showed a reasonable agreement with an available experimental data at its intake and compression stage. The predicted in-cylinder flow fields show that a strong turbulent twin vortex structure is pro-duced during induction but it commences to decay rapidly around inlet valve closure. The mean velocity continues to fall to a low level during compression but the turbulence intensity attains an approximate constant level.

The purpose of this paper is to design a hydraulic actuator to operate under high pressure conditions. The flow characteristics under design conditions of hydraulic actuator were numerically conducted by commercial fluid dynamic code(ANSYS CFX V11). The numerical analysis was performed by transient technique according to the variation of stroke times, which was changed from 0 to 1 second by interval of 0.01. Turbulence model, $k-\omega$ SST was selected to secure more accurate prediction of hydraulic oil flow. The ICEM-CFD 11 and CFXMesher, reliable grid generation software was also adapted to secure high quality grid necessary for the reliable analysis. According to the simulation results, the flow rate which was supplied to the hydraulic actuator was 30.4l/min. These results are in good agreement with design results within 3.5% error.

Objective: The aim of this study is to propose a unit touch gesture model, which would be useful to predict the performance time on mobile devices. Background: When estimating usability based on Model-based Evaluation (MBE) in interfaces, the GOMS model measured 'operators' to predict the execution time in the desktop environment. Therefore, this study used the concept of operator in GOMS for touch gestures. Since the touch gestures are comprised of possible unit touch gestures, these unit touch gestures can predict to performance time with unit touch gestures on mobile devices. Method: In order to extract unit touch gestures, manual movements of subjects were recorded in the 120 fps with pixel coordinates. Touch gestures are classified with 'out of range', 'registration', 'continuation' and 'termination' of gesture. Results: As a results, six unit touch gestures were extracted, which are hold down (H), Release (R), Slip (S), Curved-stroke (Cs), Path-stroke (Ps) and Out of range (Or). The movement time predicted by the unit touch gesture model is not significantly different from the participants' execution time. The measured six unit touch gestures can predict movement time of undefined touch gestures like user-defined gestures. Conclusion: In conclusion, touch gestures could be subdivided into six unit touch gestures. Six unit touch gestures can explain almost all the current touch gestures including user-defined gestures. So, this model provided in this study has a high predictive power. The model presented in the study could be utilized to predict the performance time of touch gestures. Application: The unit touch gestures could be simply added up to predict the performance time without measuring the performance time of a new gesture.

Objective : Early progressive infarction (EPI) is frequently observed and related to poor functional outcome in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction caused by MCA occlusion. We evaluated the perfusion parameters of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a predictor of EPI. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed patients with acute MCA territory infarction caused by MCA occlusion. EPI was defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale increment ${\geq}2$ points during 24 hours despite receiving standard treatment. Regional parameter ratios, such as cerebral blood flow and volume (rCBV) ratio (ipsilateral value/contralateral value) on perfusion MRI were analyzed to investigate the association with EPI. Results : Sixty-four patients were enrolled in total. EPI was present in 18 (28%) subjects and all EPI occurred within 3 days after hospitalization. Diabetes mellitus, rCBV ratio and regional time to peak (rTTP) ratio showed statically significant differences in both groups. Multi-variate analysis indicated that history of diabetes mellitus [odds ratio (OR), 6.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.55-24.24] and a low rCBV ratio (rCBV, <0.85; OR, 6.57; 95% CI, 1.4-30.27) was significantly correlated with EPI. Conclusion : The incidence of EPI is considerable in patients with acute MCA territory infarction caused by MCA occlusion. We suggest that rCBV ratio is a useful neuro-imaging parameter to predict EPI.

장기체공 소형 무인기 실용화를 위해서는 연료소비율이 우수한 엔진 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 4행정 글로우 플러그 엔진을 가솔린 엔진으로 개조하였다. 고공에서의 엔진 성능예측에 필요한 시뮬레이션 프로그램 개발을 위하여 지상에서 엔진 성능을 측정하였다. 측정결과 고속에서 윤활부족으로 인하여 엔진 마찰력이 급격히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 지상 시험결과를 토대로 개발된 엔진성능 예측 프로그램에 의하면 고도가 상승할수록 연료소비율이 악화되는데 이는 윤활부족에 의한 마찰력 손실은 고도에 관계없이 거의 일정하기 때문이다.

The prediction of AOV(air-operated valve) performance is normally evaluated by the allowable opening thrust margin for the opening and closing stroke. However, it is not easy to carry out the dynamic test measurement for all the valves in the nuclear power plant due to the safety and operating conditions. The analysis of the available and required thrust for the valve is simulated as an alternate method to turn around this obstacle. The required air pressures to the stem displacement are discussed for differential valve pressure obtained by experiment. The result of the simulation is compared with that of the experiment. SIMULINK in MATLAB was used for the simulation and the results show good agreement with the actual test carried out with Fisher globe valve.

Cerebral aneurysm mostly occurs at a bifurcation of the circle of Willis. When the cerebral aneurysm is ruptured, a disease like subarachnoid hemorrhage and stroke is caused and this can be even deadly for patients. Generally it is known that causes of the intracranial aneurysm are a congenital deformity of the artery and pressure or shear stress from the blood flow. A blood flow pattern and the geometry of the blood vessel are important factors for the aneurysm formation. Research for several hemodynamic indices has been performed and these indices can be used for the prediction of aneurysm initiation and rupture. Therefore, the numerical analysis was performed for hemodynamic characteristics of the blood flow through the cerebral artery applying the various bifurcation angle and flow rate ratio. We analyze the flow characteristics using indices from the results of the numerical simulation. In addition, to investigate the flow pattern in the aneurysm according to the bifurcation angle and the flow rate ratio, we performed the numerical simulation on the supposition that the aneurysm occurs.
