With the fast Q-tensor method, which can model the defect dynamics in a liquid crystal director field, the nucleation and dynamical behavior of defects is modeled. In order to model the defect, hormeotropic aligned liquid crystal cell with step inhomogeneous electrode which has a height of $1\;{\mu}m$ is used. From the simulation, we can observe the nucleation and line of the defect from surface inhomogeneity and the experiment is performed for confirmation. The experimental result is compared with numerical modeling in order to verify the simulation of the defect nucleation.

This paper reports a methodology and its application for extracting cell capacitances and parasitic capacitances in a stacked DRAM cell structure by a numerical technique. To calculate the cell and parasitic capacitances, we employed finite element method (FEM), The three-dimensional DRAM cell structure is generated by solid modeling based on two-dimensional mask layout and transfer data. To obtain transfer data for generating three-dimensional simulation structure, topography simulation is performed. In this calculation, an exemplary structure comprising 4 cell capacitors with a dimension of $2.25{\times}1.75{\times}3.45{\mu}m^3$, 70,078 nodes with 395,064 tetrahedra were used in ULTRA SPARC 10 workstation. The total CPU time for the simulation was about 25 minutes, while the memory size of 201MB was required. The calculated cell capacitance is 24.34fF per cell, and the influential parasitic capacitances in a stacked DRAM cell are investigated.

This paper studied the mechanical characteristics of boom structures by verifying the modeling method of representing unit cells of triaxial woven fabric (TWF) composites. The modeling of the representative unit cell obtained the ABD matrix by analysing the behaviour of tensile, shear, bending, and torsion using the periodic boundary conditions for the beam element. This study aimed to validate the ABD matrix by comparing the tensile analysis output from a finite element program with the experimental results from an MTS 810 machine. Additionally, the mechanical characteristics of a TWF composite boom structure were determined through bending analysis and experiments. The findings of this research are expected to be beneficial for developing structures using TWF composites.

In this paper the effects of inverter ripple currents to the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Stack (PEMFCS) is analyzed by the impedance model. The proposed method employs the frequency analysis technique to derive an equivalent impedance model of the fuel cell stack and the effects of the inverter ripple current are investigated. The calculated results m then verified by means of experiments on commercially available PEMFCSs. The experimental results show that the ripple current can contribute up to 10[%] reduction in the available output power.

As a demand for energy, many studies are increasing about energy resource. One of these resources is coal which reserves of underground. A lot of research to use coal is going on as method of IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle). In addition, SNG(Substitute Natural Gas) and IGFC (Integrated Gasification Fuel Cell) are also being developed for fuel & electricity. This technology which uses synthesis gas after gasification is to produce electricity from the Fuel Cell. At this point, important thing is the components of synthesis gas. The main objective is to increase the proportion of methane and hydrogen in synthesis gas. The catalytic gasification is suitable to enhance the composition of methane and hydrogen. In this study, Exxon Predevelopment catalyst gasification study was served as a good reference and then catalytic gasification simulation process is conducting using Aspen Plus in this research. For this modelling, kinetic value should be calculated from Exxon's report which is used for modeling catalytic gasification. Catalytic gasification model was performed by following above method and was analyzed by thermodynamic method through simulation results.

This study mainly focused on the neutronics modeling of bubbles in bubbly flow in boiling water reactors. The bubble, ring and homogenous models were used for radial void fraction distribution. Effect of the bubble and ring models on the infinite multiplication factor and two-group flux distribution was investigated by comparing with the homogenous model. Square pitch unit cell geometry was used in the calculations. In the bubble model, spherical and non-spherical bubbles at random positions, sizes and shapes were produced by Monte Carlo method. The results show that there are significant differences among the proposed models from the viewpoint of physical interaction mechanism. For the fully-developed bubbly flow, $k_{inf}$ is overestimated in the ring model by about $720{\pm}6pcm$ with respect to homogeneous model whereas underestimated in the bubble model by about $-65{\pm}9pcm$ with a standard deviation of 15 pcm. In addition, the ring model shows that the coolant must be separated into regions to properly represent the radial void distribution. Deviations in flux distributions principally occur in certain regions, such as corners. As a result, the bubble model in modeling the void fraction can be used in nuclear engineering calculations.

This paper proposes an efficient system level simulation method for MIMO-OFDM based system in the multi-cell environment. The proposed method analyzes effects of the cell structure, radio channel characteristics and user mobility. The user mobility effect on the system level performance is considered in both channel gain and distance. The receiver SINR calculation procedure is presented in the system which adopts MIMO-OFDM scheme under various system environments. This method can be flexibly extensible to various system environments and provides computationally efficient system level simulation technique which utilizes link level performance analysis. Extensive computer simulations results are presented to obtain the system performance in the various mobile cellular channels using the proposed method. Also this results are analyzed based on the packet error rate for different distances between the base station located in the center of the cell and the mobile user.

A method for calculating the electromagnetic scattering from arid internal field distribution of arbitrally, shaped, inhomogeneous dielectric bodies is presented. Tetrahedral volume elements are used to model a scattering body in which the electrical parameters are defined constant in each tetrahedron. Special basis functions are defined within the tetrahedral volume elements to satisfy the boundary condition at interfaces between different dielectric media. In order to test the accuracy of the solution by using the present method, it is applied to obtain the scattered field by the dielectric sphere. The accuracy of the fields calculated by using the tetrahedral cell method is found to be comparable to that of others.

An adaptive cut-cell grid based 2D inundation analysis model, K-Flood, is developed in this study. Cut cell grid method divides a grid into a flow area and a non-flow area depending the characteristics of the flows. With adaptive mesh refinement technique cut cell method can represent complex flow area using relatively small number of cells. In recent years, the urban inundation modeling using high resolution and fine quality data is increasing to achieve more accurate flood analysis or flood forecasting. K-Flood has potential to simulate such complex urban inundation using efficient grid generation technique. A finite volume numerical scheme of second order accuracy for space and time was applied. For verification of K-Flood, 1) shockwave reflex simulation by circular cylinder, 2) urban flood experiment simulation, 3) Malpasset dam collapse simulation are performed and the results are compared with observed data and previous simulation results.
