  • This paper uses the numerical simulation to investigate the interference effect of 3-D turbulent flow around two high rise buildings in proximity at the different relative heights, gaps, and wind velocities. The computer program used to carry out the simulation is based on the control volume method and the SIMPLEST algorithm. The ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model was used to simulate turbulence effects. Since the contracted flow between two adjacent buildings enhances the strength of vortex shedding from the object building, the pressure coefficient on each side wall of the object building is generally increased by the presence of apposed building. The effect is increased as the relative height or the gap between the two buildings decreases. The velocity on the vertical center line between two buildings is about 1.4 to 1.5 times the upstream wind velocity.

  • This paper proposes the used of genetic algorithm for optimizing PI controller and describes the dynamic modeling simulation for the permanent magnet synchronous motor driven by simplified vector control with the aid of MATLAB-Simulink environment. Furthermore, three kinds of error criterion minimization, integral absolute error, integral square error, and integral time absolute error, are used as objective function in the genetic algorithm. The modeling procedures and simulation results are described and presented in this paper. Computer simulation results indicate that the genetic algorithm was able to optimize the PI controller and gives good control performance of the system. Moreover, simplified vector control on permanent magnet synchronous motor does not need to regulate the direct axis component current. This makes simplified vector control of the permanent magnet synchronous motor very useful for some special applications that need simple control structure and low cost performance.

  • The distribution routing problem is one of the important problems in distribution and supply center management. This research is concerned with an integrated distribution routing problem for multi-supply centers based on improved genetic algorithm and GUI-type programming. In this research, we used a three-step approach; in step 1 a sector clustering model is developed to transfer the multi-supply center problem to single supply center problems which are more easy to be solved, in step 2 we developed a vehicle routing model with time and vehicle capacity constraints and in step 3, we developed a GA-TSP model which can improve the vehicle routing schedules by simulation. For the computational purpose, we developed a GUI-type computer program according to the proposed methods and the sample outputs show that the proposed method is very effective on a set of standard test problems, and it could be potentially useful in solving the distribution routing problems in multi-supply center problem.

  • In this paper, we investigated methods to reduce SAR(Specific Absorption Rate) value with EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) paint distribution on front case of mobile handset. Simulations for several different EMI patterns were carried out. For the purpose of modeling, we used 3 dimensional CAD(Computer Aided Design) program, `Pro-engineering'. SAR simulation was done with SEMCAD, simulation platform for electromagnetic compatibility antenna design and dosimetry. In order to distinguish the individual pieces and to enable an assignment of the different material properties, each subfile was imported separately. In simulation, folding angle was set to $142^{\circ}.$ If we vary folding angle, different SAR value will be obtained. Among the tested EMI paint patterns, the hairpin pattern showed the best performance, i.e. the decrease efficiency of $16.5\%$ and horizontal-direction zigzag pattern showed the decrease efficiency of $12.2\%$ when we set the completely removed pattern as reference.

  • The safety aspects of ship handing have become increasingly important recently, due to the changes in sea transportation. These are characterizes by larger units, increased traffic density on sea lane, sea transport of dangerous cargo, etc. In addition, as a economic aspect of ship handing, it has obtained an increased attention in connection with port development and consideration of allowable ship size for existing ports. One method for evaluation of maneuvering problems is simulation on a computer by means of a mathematical model of the ship maneuvering motion. The present report describes the elements of a mathematical model for ship maneuvering and gives some results of maneuvering predictions through the simulation.

  • In this paper the simulation of a thermodynamic power cycle for a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, spark-ignition engine was studied. In this simulation the cylinder volume was restricted to two zones, a burnt and an unburnt zone, and the convective heat transfer from cylinder contents to surroundings was considered. The chemical species in burnt gas considered was 12 species including H$_{2}$O, H$_{2}$, OH, H, N$_{2}$, NO, N, CO$_{2}$, CO, $O_{2}$, O and Ar. Using this model, computer program for compression, ignition and expansion processes was composed and pressure, temperature and composition of cylinder gas at each crank angle were computed. The composition of CO$_{2}$, CO, $O_{2}$ in the burnt gas when exhaust valve opens, the maximum temperature, the maximum flame speed and the combustion duration were also computed as a function of equivalence ratio. The relation between burnt mass fraction and burnt volume fraction was also computed.

  • The change in moisture content of moisture sensitive products in moisture-semipermeable packages was investigated for the purpose of predicting the shelf life of a product-package combination. A mathematical model, and a computer program based on the physiochemical properties of the product and the moisture permeability of the package was developed. The moisture content for products in moisture-semipermeable packages was determined under various environmental conditions and the results were compared with the predicted values by means of the simulation model. These experimental studies demonstrated that the prediction of the change in moisture content of packaged products over time by the simulation model is accurate, within a practical range of temperature and relative humidity values. The developed semi-empirical model is considered to have applications in industry, since it provides product shelf life information for a range of temperature and relative humidity conditions, with a limited number of experimentally obtained data points.

  • This study carries out the performance improvement and simplification of hydraulic modulator that plays an important role in vehicle stability control systems. The mathematical models for each component of a modulator, such as pump, wheel cylinder, check and solenoid valve, accumulator, damper are derived in detail. All the mathematical models are combined to form a modulator system and implemented through a computer program, which can be controlled by a user friendly GUI. To verity the simulation, comparison between simulation and experiments has been made. After the verification of the validity of the simulation, the effects of the design parameters of the modulator on the wheel cylinder pressure is investigated. The results show that the modulator without MPA has advantage in early time pressure rise rate, and it can be simplified.

  • In this paper, an algorithm is presented to simulate numerically the reinforced concrete (RC) columns having any geometric form of section, loaded eccentrically along one or two axes. To apply the algorithm, the columns are discretized into two macro-elements (MEs) globally and the critical sections of columns are discretized into fixed rectangular finite elements locally. A proposed triple simultaneous dichotomy convergence method is applied to find the equilibrium state in the critical section of the column considering the three strains at three corners of the critical section as the main characteristic variables. Based on the proposed algorithm a computer program has been developed for simulation of the nonlinear behavior of the eccentrically-loaded columns. A good agreement has been witnessed between the results obtained applying the proposed algorithm and the experimental test results. The simulated results indicate that the ultimate strength and stiffness of the RC columns increase with the increase in axial force value, but large axial loads reduce the ductility of the column, make it brittle, impose great loss of material, and cause early failure.

  • The present study was conducted to measure and predict the leachate generation and to establish the methods of leachate control and handling by both field and lab-lysimeter studies. The change of biodegradable matter, field capacity, dry density, quantity and quality of leachate as a function of time of landilling were measured. The model based on the theory of unsaturated flow and contaminant transport in porous media was developed and simulation model was used for the prediction of movement of landfill moisture and for the strength in leachate in terms of organic and inorganic contaminant. The model constructed from the present study in terms of unsaturated decomposition and transport combined with the evapotranspiration and surface runoff showed good agreement with the results obtained by lysimeter studies.
