In this paper, computer simulations of the physical Phenomena occurring in the arc region before and after current zero were carried out to evaluate the thermal recovery characteristics of a Laval nozzle. A commercial CFD program "PHOENICS" is used for the simulation and the user-coded subroutines to consider the arcing phenomena were added to this program by the authors. The computed results were verified by the comparison with the test results presented by the research group of GE Co.(General Electric Company). In order to investigate the state of the arc region after current zero, the simulation was carried out with three steps. They are steady state arc simulation, transient arc simulation before current zero, and transient hot-gas flow simulation after current zero. The semi-experimental arc radiation model is adapted to consider the radiation energy transport and Prandtl's mixing length model is employed as the turbulence model. The electric field and the magnetic field were calculated with the same grid structure used for the simulation of the flow field. The post-arc current was calculated to evaluate the thermal recovery characteristics after current zero. Compared with the results obtained by GE Co., it has been found that the critical RRRV(ratio of rise of recovery voltage) will be determined previously by this study.his study.

This paper proposes a constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching method that can reduce switching losses caused by emf on inductance in DC motor. The zero voltage switching method is used more than a zero current switching method because of reducing switching losses by capacitance of depletion region of MOSFET. To simplify the controller circuit, we propose constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching method in the paper. The control method is more stable than a variable frequency control method because it can optimize bandwidth of a closed-loop and reactances. Therefore, we construct a constant frequency controlled zero voltage switching converter and improve zero switching losses in high switching frequency. In the process, we can control low-losses in full range on variable voltage and load. We simulate the proposed converter with P-SPICE and compare results obtained through the experiment.

본 논문에서는 영역병합 방법을 이용한 칼라 영상 분할 방법을 제안하였다. 영상 분할 전단계에서 비선형 필터링 방법을 이용한 평활화와 채도 강화 및 명도 평균화를 수행하여, 영상 내 존재하는 비균질성을 줄이고, 칼라 히스토그램의 zero-crossing 정보를 이용한 비균일 양자화를 수행하여 유사한 칼라성분을 가지는 영역들을 분할하였다. 웨이브릿 변환의 고주파 대역 에너지를 이용하여 분할된 초기 영역의 윤곽성분 강도를 측정하였고, 이를 통해 병합 후 후보영역을 선정하였다. 영역병합을 위한 영역간 유사도 측정은 R, G, B 칼라성분의 유클리디안 거리를 측정하여 수행하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 불규칙한 광원으로 불필요한 영역이 분할되는 것을 줄일 수 있었고, 이를 실험을 통해 입증하였다.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy for a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system, which contains the rotor position error information. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error at zero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gain of the rotor position tracking controller has a variable structure according to the estimated rotor velocity. Then, at zero speed, the rotor position and velocity have sluggish dynamics because the varying gains are very low in this region. In order to boost the bandwidth of the PI controller during zero speed, the loop recovery technique is applied to the control system. The PI tuning formulas are also derived by analyzing this control system by frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

A zero-load slider is composed of two outside rails which produce a lift force pushing up the slider from the disk surface and a wide reverse step region which produces a suction force attracting the slider to the disk surface. In this paper, the flying characteristics of zero-load sliders are obtained by using an optimization technique. In the pressure calculation module, the FIFD scheme is used to solve the modified Reynolds equation. The BFGS method and a line search algorithm is employed to predict the static flying attitude. To investigate the effect of the geometric- parameters of zero-load sliders on the flying characteristics, recess depth, front step width, rail width, and taper height are varied and the corresponding flying attitudes are obtained. Simulation results demonstrate that recess depth and rail width have significant influences on the flying characteristics.

The electric fields of the sheath region in an argon do discharge were measured using a laser optogalvanic spectroscopy in a pressure range from 0.88 to 10 Torr, where collisions are significant in the sheath region. The sheath width is estimated as the position where the electric field becomes zero, and the pressure dependence of the measured sheath width was obtained to be $(pressure)^{-1/3}$. The measured electric fields agree well with one-dimensional simulation results but are slightly different from collisional sheath theory in the mobility limited region.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 FGS (fine granular scalability) 영상부호화 기법 중에서, 수신측의 주관적 화질을 향상시키기 위한 기법인 선택적 향상 (SE: selective enhancement) 기법이 갖는 추가 비트율의 증가 문제를 효과적으로 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 RSE기법은 기존의 FGS SE기법의 향상계층에서 발생하는 비트량 증가 문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위해서 다음과 같은 새로운 알고리즘에 기반 한다. 첫째, 매크로블록 기즌으로 선택하는 기존의 SE기법을 사각영역 (rectangular region) 기준으로 선택하는 SE기법 (RSE)으로 변경한다. 이렇게 함으로써 SE기법의 적용대상의 표현이 화면별로 간편하게 서술되어 비트율을 줄일 수 있다. 둘째, 비트평면 (bit-plane)부호화의 대상을 제한하는 제한형 비트평면 주사 (CBS. constrained bit-plane scanning) 기법을 적용한다. 이렇게 함으로써 SE기법에서 발생하는 비트평면의 개수 증가 및 ALL-ZERO 심볼의 증가로 인한 비트율 증가 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 모의실험을 통해, 기존의 표준 SE기법에 비해 제안된 RSE기법의 부호화 효율과 수신측 영상의 화질이 향상됨을 확인한다.

A modified model is proposed for calculation of transitional boundary layer flows. In order to develop the eddy viscosity model for the problem, the flow is divided into three regions; namely, pre-transition region, transition region and fully turbulent region. The pre-transition eddy-viscosity is formulated by extending the mixing length concept. In the transition region, the eddy-viscosity model employs two length scales, i.e., pre-transition length scale and turbulent length scale pertaining to the regions upstream and the downstream, respectively, and a universal model of stream-wise intermittency variation is used as a function bridging the pre-transition region and the fully turbulent region. The proposed model is applied to calculate three benchmark cases of the transitional boundary layer flows with different free-stream turbulent intensity (1%∼6%) under zero-pressure gradient. It was found that the profiles of mean velocity and turbulent intensity, local maximum of velocity fluctuations, their locations as well as the stream-wise variation of integral properties such as skin friction, shape factor and maximum velocity fluctuations are very satisfactorily predicted throughout the flow regions.

Rheological properties of chitosan solutions were investigated as a function of polymer concentration. The viscosity curves for chitosan solutions consisted of two distinct viscosity regions, the Newtonian zero-shear viscosity (η$_{0}$) region and the shear rate dependent apparent viscosity (η$_{app}$) region. The shear rate dependence of viscosity was more clearly observed at higher chitosan concentrations. The critical coil overlap parameter (C＊〔η〕) was determined to be approximately 3.2 from a plot of zero-shear specific viscosity η$_{sp,0}$ vs coil overlap parameter (C〔η〕), which was lower than C〔η〕4.0 reported for other random coil polysaccharides. It was also found that the slope of η$_{sp,0}$ vs C〔η〕 was 3.9 at concentrated C〔η〕>C＊〔η〕domain, while 1.2 at dilute C〔η〕$_{0}$ ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$$_{0.8}$ relation.ion.n.n.

The coupled free vibration of flexible structures and on-board liquid in zero gravity space was analyzed, considering the spacecraft main body as a rigid mass, the flexible appendages as two elastic beams, and the on-board liquid as a "spring-mass" system. Using the Lagrangians of a rigid mass (spacecraft main body), "spring-mass" (liquid), and two beams (flexible appendages), as well as assuming symmetric motion of the system, we obtained the frequency equations of the coupled system by applying Rayleigh-Ritz method. Solving these frequency equations, which are governed by three system parameters, as an eigenvalue problem, we obtained the coupled natural frequencies and vibration modes. We define the parameter for evaluating the magnitudes of coupled motions of the added mass (liquid) and beam (appendages). It was found that when varying one system parameter, the frequency curves veer, vibration modes exchange, and the significant coupling occurs not in the region closest to the two frequency curves but in the two regions separate from that region.
