A numerical study of the evaluation of turbulence models for thermal striping phenomenon is performed. The turbulence models chosen in the present study are the two-layer model, the shear stress transport (SST) model and the V2-f model. These three models are applied to the analysis of the triple-jet flow with the same velocity but different temperatures. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equation method is used together with the SIMPLEC algorithm. The results of the present study show that the temporal oscillation of temperature is predicted by the SST and V2-f models, and the accuracy of the mean velocity, the turbulent shear stress and the mean temperature is a little dependent on the turbulence model used. In addition, it is shown that both the two-layer and SST models have nearly the same capability predicting the thermal striping, and the amplitude of the temperature fluctuation is predicted best by the V2-f model.

In diesel engines, it is inevitable that the torsional vibration is produced by the fluctuation of engine torque. Therefore, if the occurence of torsional vibration is confirmed in the design stage or the torsional vibration is observed on the bed of test run, it is necessary to establish some preventive measures to avoid dangerous conditions. Major preventive measures are as follows : 1. Changing the natural frequency of shaft system. 2. Repressing the vibration amplitude by the damping energy. 3. Counterbalancing the exciting torque by the resistant torque. 4. Counterbalacing the harmonic component of exciting energy. In above methos, the damper is the last measure to be used for controlling the torsional vibration. In this thesis, the design of viscous damper that absorbs the exciting energy is investigated and a number of problems associated with the design of viscous damper are treated and a computer pregram for the process of damper design is developed. A viscous damper for a high speed diesel engine is designed and its effect is simulated by the author's computer program.

An active flow control technique based on "smart-tabs" is proposed to delay flow separation on a circular cylinder. The actuators are retractable and orientable multilayer piezoelectric tabs which protrude perpendicularly from the model surface. They are mounted along the spanwise direction with constant spacing. The effectiveness of the control was tested in pre-critical and in post-critical regime by evaluating the effects of several control parameters of the tabs like frequency, amplitude, height, angular position and plate incidence with respect to the local flow. Measurements of the mean static pressure distribution around the cylinder were used to estimate the pressure drag coefficient. The maximum drag reduction achieved in the pre-critical regime was of the order of 30%, whereas in the post-critical regime was about 10%, 3% of which due to active forcing. Furthermore, pressure fluctuation measurements were performed and spectral analysis indicated an almost complete suppression of the vortex shedding in active forcing conditions.

In this study, fatigue crack propagation problem of plate under multi-axial loading is mainly considered To analyze this special problem, recently developed technique called EFGM(Element-Free Galerkin Method), one of the Meshfree Methods, and general fatigue crack growth raw herein Paris law are used Using the Implemented scheme, paths of fatigue cracks by constant-amplitude load fluctuation and multiple-crack growth behavior are examined. The failure mechanism of steel plate due to crack propagation is studied. As a result, an algorithm that treats multiple fatigue crack problems is proposed. A numerical example shows that the prediction of growing paths can be achieved successfully and efficiently by proposed algorithm.

Evaluation of turbulence models is performed for a better prediction of thermal stratification in an upper plenum of a liquid metal reactor by applying them to the experiment conducted at JNC. The turbulence models tested in the present study are the two-layer model, the $\kappa-\omega$ model, the v2-f model and the low-Reynolds number differential stress-flux model. When the algebraic flux model or differential flux model are used for treating the turbulent heat flux, there exist little differences between turbulence models in predicting the temporal variation of temperature. However, the v2-f model and the low-Reynolds number differential stress-flux model better predict the steep gradient o( temperature at the interface of thermal stratification, and only the v2-f model predicts properly the oscillation of temperature. The LES Is needed for a better prediction of the amplitude and frequency of the temperature fluctuation.

Pressure control is possible by pulse width modulation signal driving a simple ON/OFF 2-way valve of hydraulic servo system. But it indices pressure fluctuation due to repeated on-off action and the pressure varies according to the duty ratio and carrier frequency. So mean pressure and ripple amplitude are arranged by experimental study as the driving signal change which decides the pressure characteristics. As the result selection criteria of the major design parameters may be established and the basic strategy to suppress the unnecessary flucturion may be provided for a hydraulic pressure control system.

We analyze the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuation data to find any anomaly in the angular power spectra measured for partial regions on the sky. For disks with radius of $20^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, which are densely overlapping on the sky, we estimate the power excess and its statistical significance relative to the LambdaCDM expectation for some chosen ranges of angular scales. We also investigate the dipolar asymmetry using the power excess maps obtained for some chosen angular scales, and confirm the previously announced consistent dipole directions. The average dipole amplitude and the inner products of dipoles have been measured from the power excess maps at different angular scales. We conclude that although dipole directions are consistent the measured amplitudes are not statistically significant compared to the LambdaCDM model prediction.

In this study, respiratory motion is modeled by a 2-Dimensional linear expanding-shrinking movement. According to the introduced model, respiratory motion imposes phase error, non-uniform sampling and amplitude modulation distortions on the acquired MRI data. When the motion parameters are known or can be estimated, a reconstruction algorithm based on superposition method was used to removed the MRI artifact. For the purpose of estimating unknown motion parameters, we applied the spectrum shift method to find the respiratory fluctuation function, the x directional expansion coefficient and its center, and also we used the minimum energy method to find the y directional expansion coefficient and its center. The effectiveness of this presented method is shown by Computer simulations.

Radio occultation (RO) technique has been used in planetary science since 1960s. When signal goes through atmosphere, it is refracted due to the gradient of atmospheric refractivity. In 1995, the first low earth orbit (LEO) satellite, MicroLab-1, was launched to conduct RO mission. It receives the signal from global positioning system (GPS) satellites. After MicroLab-1, other RO missions, such as CHAMP, SAC-C, and GRACE, are executed in several years later. In 2006, Taiwan launched six LEO satellites for RO mission. The mission name is Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC). Under some abnormal situations, multipath and strong fluctuation in phase and amplitude of the signal appear in moist troposphere. Therefore, open loop (OL) technique has been applied to replace traditional phase lock loop (PLL) technique. In this paper, we will summarize the retrieval processing procedure and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of OL technique.
