The buoy of the wave energy converter moves by direct contact with the fluid. In order to design a buoy by using the numerical method, it is necessary to analyze not only the contact with the fluid but also the exact behavior of the fluid. In this paper, differences between weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) and incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) are compared and analyzed for two-dimensional dam breaking simulation. ABAQUS, which is a commercial analysis program, is used for WCSPH analysis. A laboratory code is developed for ISPH analysis. The surface shape, the velocity, and the pressure pattern of the fluid are compared. The results of the laboratory code show the similar tendencies with those of ABAQUS, and there is a little difference in the pressure result.

CSPACE (Core meltdown, Safety and Performance Analysis CodE for nuclear power plants) for a simulation of severe accident progression in a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is developed by coupling of verified system thermal hydraulic code of SPACE (Safety and Performance Analysis CodE for nuclear power plants) and core damage progression code of COMPASS (Core Meltdown Progression Accident Simulation Software). SPACE is responsible for the description of fluid state in nuclear system nodes, while COMPASS is responsible for the prediction of thermal and mechanical responses of core fuels and reactor vessel heat structures. New heat transfer models to each phase of the fluid, flow blockage, corium behavior in the lower head are added to COMPASS. Then, an interface module for the data transfer between two codes was developed to enable coupling. An implicit coupling scheme of wall heat transfer was applied to prevent fluid temperature oscillation. To validate the performance of newly developed code CSPACE, we analyzed typical severe accident scenarios for OPR1000 (Optimized Power Reactor 1000), which were initiated from large break loss of coolant accident, small break loss of coolant accident, and station black out accident. The results including thermal hydraulic behavior of RCS, core damage progression, hydrogen generation, corium behavior in the lower head, reactor vessel failure were reasonable and consistent. We demonstrate that CSPACE provides a good platform for the prediction of severe accident progression by detailed review of analysis results and a qualitative comparison with the results of previous MELCOR analysis.

A simplified simulation model is designed to investigate the vacuum-driven bonding of glass panels in the cell process for LCD manufacturing. The bonding process is modelled by the transient flow of a weakly-compressible fluid in a very thin channel between two horizontal glass panels. An order of magnitude scaling analysis is conducted based on the characteristic feature of the channel of which height is much smaller than the horizontal length scales. It is revealed that the flow in the channel is represented by a Poiseuille flow of a compressible fluid. A finite volume model has been constructed to acquire the numerical solution to the derived simplified equations. For a simple test problem of pressure-driven microchannel flow, an assessment is made of the accuracy and validity of the proposed model. The basic aspects of vacuum-driven bonding are examined numerically, and the applicability of the present simulation model is illustrated.

The goal of this research is the shape design of the valve using a computer simulation. For an analysis a basic mathematical model describing compression cycle is considered as consisting of five sets of coupled equations. These are the volume equation (kinematics), valve dynamic equation (dynamics), ideal gas equation (thermodynamics), Bernoulli equation (fluid dynamics), and dynamic equation of fluid particle based on Helmholtz equation (acoustics). Valve motion is made by the superposition of free vibration modes obtained by the finite element method. That is, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are the sufficient modeling factors fur the valve in the simulation program. Thus, to design a shape of the valve, shape design sensitivity through chain-ruled derivatives is considered from two sensitivity coefficients, one is the design sensitivity of the capability of compressor with respect to the eigenvalues of the valve, and the other is the design sensitivity of the eigenvalue with respect to the shape change of the valve. In this research, the continuum design sensitivity analysis concepts are used for the latter.

The usages of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) which is simulating turbulent flows in CSTRs (Complete Stirrer Tank Reactors) have been reported. Considering model strategies and simulation techniques, this paper is focused on the turbulence models. The results of this study would suggest multiple reference frameworks relevant to rotational flow simulation. Specifically, the analysis of turbulence dissipation rates referred to this study would solve the relevant environmental engineering problem and would be beneficial to the CFD in CSTRs using mechanical mixer.

The major system of an agricultural shuttle power-shift tractor is the transmission, using power-shift. Because the shifting performance depends on the hydraulic control system, the most important aspect of the optimization is the design of the hydraulic control system. This study was conducted to develop the simulation model of hydraulic control system for the shuttle power-shift transmission by using Easy5 software. Bench test was conducted to verify the simulation. Also, the design parameters which influence the pressure modulation characteristics were investigated.

Based on the one-dimensional stability analysis, the self-excited oscillation in hydraulic power generating systems was studied by a simple experiment and numerical simulation. It was shown that a cavity in a conical diffuser can cause surge. With the diffuser, a high amplitude and low frequency oscillation occurs at low cavitation number. This oscillation was not observed with the straight pipe. It was confirmed that the diffuser effect of the draft tube can be the cause of the full load surge in hydraulic power system. Numerical results were also analyzed to check the validity of the one-dimensional stability analysis.

One of the most effective key factors to improve performance of automotive reciprocating compressor is the design of suction and discharge reed valves. Reed valves are also the major sources of compressor noise. Valve motion is highly coupled with refrigerant flow. In this study, a process of fluid-structure interaction analysis was developed to predict the cylinder inner flow and the dynamic behavior of valve simultaneously. Interface programs computational structural dynamics code. The full cycle simulations of compressor were performed using FSI analysis was alidated by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results.

This paper dealt with numerical estimation of pressure pulsation of the refrigerant in a suction pipe of the compressor. To evaluate the effect of reduction of pressure pulsation, a pipe system with tube was simulated using F.S.I.(Fluid-structure interaction) analysis. A commercial program was used for calculating behavior of pressure. The numerical simulation for pressure ratio of before and after going though internal structure were carried out. As a result, it was verified that the pressure after passing structure is less than the pressure before passing internal structure depending on the longitudinal frequency of structure.

Seismic safety evaluation of concrete gravity dams is very important because failure of concrete gravity dam may incur huge loss of life and properties around the dam as well as damage to dam structure itself. Recently, there has been growing much concerns about earthquake resistance or seismic safety of existing concrete gravity darns designed before current seismic design provisions were implemented. This research develops the dynamic fluid pressure calculation using 'added mass simulation'. The actual analysis using structural analysis package was performed. According to the analysis results, the vibration which is transverse to water flow seems to be very critical depending on the shape of the dam.
