A finite volume model is developed to simulate the surface irrigation at a paddy field. The model's capabilities are validated through comparison with the simulafed results and the observed data obtained by various experimental tests, and the simulated results are in good agreement with the observed pending depth. The result of surface irrigation simulation shows that the longer the paddy field's the length of long-sided becomes, the longer the advance and storage time is taken. To analyze surface irrigation performance with variable inflow rate, three patterns of flow variation-constant rate, initially high then low, and initially low then high-were studied. The results show that at the pattern with initially high followed by low during the latter half of the irrigation the advance time is shortest, but the pending depth of irrigation completion and irrigation effiency are the little difference between irrigation patterns.

The transmission and reflection coefficiencies of a BBDB-type floating breakwater in water of finite depth are studied taking account of fluctuating air pressure in the air chamber. The wave potential is calculated by a hybrid integral equation consisting of a Green integral equations associated with the Rankiue Green function inside the BBDB and the Kelvin Green function outside. The transmission and reflection coefficients of the breakwater are obtained directly from the potential solution in the outer region.

In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to build a predicting model for refrigerator structure. The predicting model includes three input variables of the plaque depth (D), width (W) and interval distance(S) on the inner wall. Finite element method was utilized to obtain the data, which would be necessary for the ANN training process. Finally, a genetic algorithm (GA) was applied to find the optimal parameters that leaded to the minimum inner case deformation under operating condition. The optimal combination found is the depth(D) of 2.63mm, the width(W) of 19.24mm and the interval distance(S) of 49.38mm which leaded to the smallest deformation of 1.88mm for the given refrigerator model.

This paper deals with a numerical study of flow-guider applied to controlling current in a bay. Two dimensional numerical model for tidal currents based on the depth averaged equation is developed and standard k-.epsilon. model is adopted to determine the turbulence diffusion. Equations are described in a generalized coordinate system to be implemented by non-staggered grid system and discretized by using finite volume method. Unsteady flow is simulated by fully implicit scheme. Hybrid scheme and central differencing are used to compute the convective terms and source terms, respectively. The tidal current in a rectangular bay is simulated and it gives satisfactory results. The realistic and distinct models of a large structure placed in bay are also exemplified with or without flow-guiders. The simulation results show that the flow-guider gives the residual tidal current in the bay by the different flux with respect to the direction of tidal current.

Due to the self-similarity of Berkovich and conical indenters, different materials may show the same loaddepth curve for single indentation. In this study, we first compare the load-depth characteristics of conical and Berkovich indenters via finite element method. We also analyze the variation of load-depth curves with angle of Berkovich indenter, indentation parameters, and material properties. With numerical regressions of obtained data, we then propose dual-Berkovich indentation formulae for material property evaluation. The proposed approach provides the values of elastic modulus, yield strength and strain-hardening exponent and corresponding stress-strain curve with an average error of less than 3%. The method is valid for any elastic indenters made of tungsten carbide and diamond for instance.

Field measurements of directional waves were carried out during the summer of 2002 at two coastal sites in water of finite depth. A couple of general purpose instruments were used employing acoustic Doppler technology. The aim of the study was to investigate the spatial behavior of the directional movement of waves as they come ashore. In total,74 tests were carried out during which sea states of low to moderate intensity were recorded. A great number of these runs displayed bimodal characteristics of the spreading function at high frequencies. It was found that in general, the frequency-integrated directional width tends to broaden as the water shoals and when refraction effects are negligible. This is attributed to wave-wave interactions that become pronounced in shallow water. The same directional width showed, also, a tendency to increase with increasing peak frequency of the sea state spectrum. The behavior of the kurtosis of the spreading function was also examined. It was found that for higher frequencies this index tends to increase in wave spectra above a certain sea severity threshold.

Wet/Dry phenomena typically incorporate a number of complex flow mechanism. These include a momentum transfer and turbulent mixing caused by the delivery of water. However currently available one dimensional schemes applicable to wet/dry process cannot effectively simulate such process. Two dimensional finite element model, SU/PG, is used to simulate complex flow in this study. The Wetted Area Method in SU/PG allows elements to transition gradually between wet and dry states. The model is applicable to a straight river reach with irregular bathymetry. Wet/dry calculation using the wetted area method can simulate simple numerical test. The computed results of velocity vectors and water depth agree with those of observed. The methodology Presented in this study will contributed to two-dimensional wet/dry analysis in a river in this country.

In this paper negative drift forces are discussed, which act on a two-dimensional cylinder exposed to slightly modulated waves in water of finite depth. By combining matched asymptotic expansion method with multiple scale technique, it is clearly shown that the slowly-varying drift force can be negative under certain circumstances: i) Incident waves are irregular or slightly modulated. ii) The water depth is finite compared to the wave length of carrier waves. iii) The gap between the keel of the cylinder and ocean floor is narrow. Then the negative drift forces are caused by the unbalance of hydrostatic force associated with set down. Real fluid and wave breaking effects are not considered.

An improved boundary element method is presented for numerical analysis of hydrodynamic behavior of marine structures. A new algorithm for numerical solution of the finite depth free-surface Green function in three dimensions is developed based on multiple series representations. The whole range of the key parameter R/h is divided into four regions, within which different representation is used to achieve fast convergence. The well-known epsilon algorithm is also adopted to accelerate the convergence. The critical convergence criteria for each representation are investigated and provided. The proposed method is validated by several well-documented benchmark problems.

The thickness of pipe can be locally reduced during operation due to wall thinning. Due to its significance on structural integrity, many non-destructive detecting techniques and assessment methods are available. In this study, the elastic bending compliance of local wall-thinned pipe is presented in terms of the wall thinning geometry: wall thinning depth, circumferential angle and longitudinal length. Elastic finite element (FE) analysis further shows that the presented equation can be used for any wall thinning shape. The proposed solution differs from FE results by less than 6% for all cases analyzed. The bending compliance increases linearly with increasing longitudinal thinning length and non-linearly with increasing thinning angle and depth.
