In the present paper, the sloshing flow in the liquid holds of a large tanker is simulated using a numerical method. In the fluid domain, the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with free surface is solved using a finite difference method, and the realistic shapes of multi holds are modeled including the internal members. The time-history of the tank motion is obtained using a time-domain program for ship motion. In order to computer the impulsive pressures on internal structures, a concept of buffer zone is adopted near the tank ceiling during impact occurrence. This study demonstrates that the global fluid motion in the multi liquid holds of ships and FPSO's can be simulated using the numerical method and the corresponding local pressure can be predicted with reasonable accuracy.

Microstrip antennas generally have a lot of advantages that are thin profile, lightweight, low cost, and conformability to a shaped surface application with integrated circuitry. In addition to military applications, they have become attractive candidates in a variety of commercial applications such as mobile satellite communications, the direct broadcast system (DBS), global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing. Recently, many of the researches have been achieved for improving the impedance bandwidth of microstrip antennas. The basic form of the microstrip antenna, consisting of a conducting patch printed on a grounded substrate, has an impedance bandwidth of $1\~2\%$. For improvement of narrow bandwidth of microstrip patch, we were designed U-slot microstrip patch antenna in this paper. This antenna had wide bandwidth for all personal communication services (PCS) and IMT-2000. For the design of U-slot microstrip patch antenna using a finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. This numerical method could get the frequency property of U-slot patch antenna and the electromagnetic fields of slots.

FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain) 방법을 이용하여 마이크로웨이브 오븐 내부 전자파를 해석하였고, 열전달방정식을 이용하여 부하의 열 분포를 해석하였다. 다양한 형태의 오프닝구조를 갖는 캐비티에 관하여 수치계산을 수행하였고, 서로 다른 종류의 부하가 존재할 때 부하의 온도 분포가 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보았다. 또한 마그네트론의 안테나와 캡이 존재하는 실제 웨이브가이드를 모델링하여 수치 계산한 후, 적외선사진에 의한 부하의 온도분포와 비교하였다.

In this paper, the single patch microstrip antenna and gap coupled broadband microstrip patch antenna using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain method) are analyzed. Mur's 2nd absorbing boundary condition to minimize reflected wave is applied. Return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and input impedance by the length and width of driving patch, the length and width of parasitic patch, and the distance between driving patch and parasitic patch have been analyzed. Design parameters and radiation patterns of broadband antenna have been also shown.

We report design and simulation of a two-dimensional (2D) silicon-based nanophotonic crystal as an optical insulator to enhance the light emission efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The device was designed in a manner that a triangular array silicon photonic crystal light insulator has a square trench in the middle where LED can be placed. By varying the normalized radius in the range of 0.3-0.5 using plane wave expansion method (PWEM), we found that the normalized radius of 0.45 creates a large band gap for transverse electric (TE) polarization. Subsequently a series of light propagation simulation were carried out using 2D and three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The designed silicon-based light insulator device shows optical characteristics of a region in which light propagation was forbidden in the horizontal plane for TE light with most of the visible light spectrum in the wavelength range of 450 nm to 600 nm.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave is needed to analyze radar measurement results and to study the influence of measurement parameters on the radar measurements. Finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) method is used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Three concrete specimens with a 19.1 mm rebar embedded at 40 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm depth are modeled in 3-dimension. As results, 2-D image processing scheme of modeling data has been developed and applied to the imaging of steel bars inside concrete.

In this paper, numerical analysis package using Time-Domain Finite Difference (TDFD) method is developed to solve the initial value problem of Maxwell's equation and applied to several microstrip structures. TDFD allows us to show graphically the evolution of the crosswalk between microstrip lines. Moreover, we can obtain transmission line parameters and scattering parameters through Fourier transform of TDFD results in easy and efficient ways. TDFD is successfully applied to :1) wide band electromagnetic wave propagation along the single microstrip line, 2) crosswalk analysis between two microstrip lines, and 3) three metal line side-coupled filter. Our results show much better agreement with other theoretical experimental results reported in the literature. Thus we expect that TDFD is very useful to designing MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit).

레이더법은 건축구조물에 대한 비파괴 검사의 대표적인 방법의 하나이다. 레이더법을 이용하는데 영향을 주는 요인들을 연구하고, 레이더로 측정된 결과들을 분석하기 위해서는 전자기파의 전파에 대한 수치적인 모델링을 통한 이론적인 접근이 필요하다. 콘크리트 시편에 전파되는 전자기파를 모델링 하기 위해 유한차분 시간영역법을 적용하고자 한다. 유한차분 시간영역법은 전자파 해석과 모델링을 통한 시뮬레이션에 매우 유용한 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 유한차분 시간영역법을 이용하여 두께가 다른 4개의 시편과 두께는 100㎜로 동일하고 피복두께가 다른 3개의 시편을 3차원으로 모델링 하였다. 두께 측정 모델링 결과에서는 계산영역의 셀간격과 입사파의 파장/콘크리트 시편의 두께값이 모델링의 정확성에 미치는 영향을 알 수 있었다. 철근이 있는 시편의 모델링에서는 0.08%∼0.5%의 오차로 철근의 위치를 확인할 수 있었다.

The analysis of photonic band gaps and anomalous dispersion phenomena in photonic crystals requires understanding of band structures and dispersion surfaces. We show the results of the calculation of band structures and dispersion surfaces for a few two- dimensional lattices, using the finite-difference time-domain method with periodic boundary conditions. In addition, localized defect modes the exist within the band gap are computed by the same method.

A three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3-D FDTD) algorithm of calculation for the characteristics of coaxial-to-cavity filter including a discended probe and a tuning post is presented. In the arrangement the inner coaxial conductor protrudes into the cavity and operates as a probe radiator. And the height of the rectangular tuning post determines the resonant frequency. The validation of this method is confirmed by comparing the calculated values with experimental results for the designed filter.
