Preliminary design of a ground plate, a device installed close to the aircraft model for wind tunnel test to simulate the ground effect, was performed by a numerical simulation. A two-dimensional numerical study was performed initially to decide the optimal leading edge and flap configurations. Then, three-dimensional studies were conducted to decide the optimal flap deflection angle for pressure distribution reduction since the plate and the plate supporting system generate static pressure difference between the upper and lower flow regions. Three-dimensional simulation additionally studied the effect of the clearance between the plate and the wind tunnel side wall. For the efficiency of computation, half model was simulated and a symmetric boundary condition was applied on the center plane. Based on the preliminary design, a ground plate was designed, manufactured and tested at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) wind tunnel. The measured pressure differences versus flap deflection angle agreed well with the predicted results.

A thee-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model of Kyonggi Bay is described. Experiments have been performed with the model to determine the response of the bay to stationary wind stress fields suddenly imposed on the bay for wind directions of uniform NW, W and stresses of 10 dyne/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. Features of the wond onduced three-dimensional current structure determined from the computation have been examined and discussed. M$\_$2/ tidal currents have also been which are dominant in the region. Some of preliminary results are preaented and discussed.

On the initial design process of a scramjet vehicle such as the trajectory prediction, it is inevitable to estimate the aerodynamic performance of a three-dimensional effect. Despite the necessity of intensive computing for the three-dimensional model, it is inefficient in predicting a wide range of aerodynamic performance. In this study, an engineering model for aerodynamic performance was developed based on two-dimensional computational fluid analysis and linearized supersonic inviscid flow theory. Correspondingly, the three-dimension aerodynamic performance relations are presented based on the two-dimensional results. And the additional three-dimensional computation was performed to evaluate the adequacy for the extended relations.

This paper describes to extend the MLFMA(Multi-Level Fast Multipole Algorithm) for three-dimensional capacitance computation in the case of conductors embedded in an arbitrary dielectric medium. The triangular meshes are used and refined in the area which has heavy charge density. This technique is applied to the capacitance extraction of three-dimensional structures with multiple dielectrics. The results show good convergence with the comparable accuracy, and this adaptive technique coupled with MLFMA is useful to reduce computing time and the number of elements with least additional computational efforts in large three dimensional problems.

Fluid flow in a rectangular duct with $90^{\circ}$ mitered elbow is measured by 5W laser doppler velocity meter. The fluid flow is also computed by commercial software of STAR-CD for comparison between measured and computed velocity profiles in the duct. Reynolds numbers for the comparison are 1,608 and 11,751 based on mean velocity and hydraulic diameter of the duct. First, the fluid flow of Reynolds number equal to 1,608 is predicted by assumptions of both laminar and turbulent models. But, even though the Reynolds number is less than 2,300~3,000, the computation by turbulent model is closed to the experimental data than that by laminar model. Second, the computation for Reynolds number of 11,751 by turbulent model also predicted the experimental data satisfactorily.

Fluid flow in a rectangular duct for 90$^{\circ}$ bend elbow with the ratio of 1.5 between its curvature radius and width is measured by 5 W laser doppler velocity meter. The fluid flow is also computed by commercial software of STAR-CD for comparison between measured and computed velocity profiles in the duct. Reynolds numbers for the comparison are 11,643, 19,746 and 24,260. From the comparison, computation of principal velocity components in the duct predicts the experimental data somewhat satisfactorily even though those of minor velocity components and turbulent kinetic energy do not match with the experimental data quite well. K-factor for the bend elbow is computed to be average 0.086 while the equivalent ASHRAE data is 0.07.

In this study, performance of the multi-stage explicit methods for numerical computation of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations is investigated. Three methods under consideration are 1 st-, 2 nd-, and 4 th-order Runge-Kutta (R-K) methods. Compared in this estimation is stability, accuracy, and CPU time of each method. The computational codes developed are applied to the two-dimensional flow in a square cavity driven by an oscillating lid. It turned out that at Reynolds number 400, the 1 st-order R-K method is the best, while at 3200 the 2 nd-order R-K is recommended. At higher Reynolds numbers, it is conjectured that the 4 th-order R-K method will be the best algorithm among three due to its highest stability.

A boundary element analysis using parallel algorithm on transputers is described for three-dimensional magnetostatic field computations. The parallel algorithm are applied to assembling the system matrix and solving the matrix equation. Through the numerical results, it is shown that the computation time is ideally inverse proportional to the number of transputers, and the computational efficiency increases as the size of the system matrix becomes large. The easiness and simplicity in configuring the system hardware and making programs and computation times are compared in three kinds of topologies.

A fast Hankel transform (FHT) algorithm (Anderson, 1982) is applied to numerical evaluation of many Green's tensor integrals encountered in three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling using integral equations. Efficient computation of Hankel transforms is obtained by a combination of related and lagged convolutions which are available in the FHT. We express Green's tensor integrals for a layered half-space, and rewrite those to a form of related functions so that the FHT can be applied in an efficient manner. By use of the FHT, a complete or full matrix of the related Hankel transform can be rapidly and accurately calculated for about the same computation time as would be required for a single direct convolution. Computing time for a five-layer half-space shows that the FHT is about 117 and 4 times faster than conventional direct and multiple lagged convolution methods, respectively.

Three-dimensional analyses of multistory structures with wings using finite element models require tedious input data preparation, longer computation time. and larger computer memory. So this study lays emphasis on the development of efficient analysis models for a three-dimensional multistory structure with wings, including in-plane deformation of floor slabs. Since a three-dimensional multistory structure with wings is regarded as a combination of wing structures and their junction in this study, the proposed analysis models are easily applicable to multistory structures with plans in the shape of letters Y, U, H, etc. Dynamic analyses results obtained using proposed models are in excellent agreement to those acquired using three-dimensional finite element models in terms of natural vibration periods, mode shapes and displacement time history.
