  • A zonal embedded grid technique has been developed for computation of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with cylindrical coordinates. The fundamental idea of the zonal embedded grid technique is that the number of azimuthal grids can be made small near the origin of the coordinates so that the grid size is more uniformly distributed over the domain than with the conventional regular-grid system. The code developed using this technique combined with the explicit, finite-volume method was then applied to calculation of the spin-up flows within a semi-circular cylinder. It was shown that the numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental results both qualitatively and quantitatively.

  • In this paper the numerical method with a zonal embedded grid system for an incompressible flow within a semi-circular container is presented. The algorithm is validated by its application to some typical flow models including the spin-up flow inside a semi-circular geometry. Flow visualization for the spin-up flows was used by PIV. The results show that at high Reynolds numbers the cyclonic cell at the left-hand side region moves along the circular wall and merges with the cell at the right-hand side region.

  • In this paper the numerical method with a zonal embedded grid system was applied to the spin-up flow within a semi-circular container. Flow visualization was also performed on a rotating table. The results show that at a low level of damping (i.e. low viscosity and high liquid depth) a cyclonic cell produced initially near the left-hand-side corner of the container moves along a wall and merged with the cell on the right-hand-side.

  • In this paper, we report the numerical and experimental results in a half-cylinder. In the numerical computation, we used the zonal embedded grid system. Flow visualization for the spin-up flows was used by PIV. The results show that at left hand side an cyclonic cell moves along a wall and separates into both cells at right hand side.

  • A modified patched grid scheme has been developed and employed for and axi-symmetric unsteady Euler solver based on Roe's FDS to analyze the unsteady flow fields induced by a train and a tunnel. On this paper, the innovative zonal method, named hybrid dimensional approach, was proposed and applied to the train-tunnel interaction problems. The basic idea of this method is to maximize the efficiency of numerical calculations by minimal assumption of spatial dimensions. The hybrid dimensional approach, embedded in the present modified patched grid method, yielded high numerical accuracy as much as the fully axe-symmetric method. The hybrid dimensional approach is expected to reduce the huge computation time of the train-tunnel interaction problems especially in the cases of solving a long tunnel.
