Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the scattering and penetration properties of hydrogen ions with the normal incident angle to Ni (100) surface. The initial kinetic energies of hydrogen ions range from 100 to 1,600 eV. The simulation results are used to assess the applicabilities of theoretical predictions based on the binary collision approximation, and, in the high kinetic regime, theoretical results for scattering energies were shown to he a good agreement with molecular simulations. The angle dependencies on both scattering and penetration distributions were found in the longitudinal direction, but not in the azimuthal direction except for the high kinetic energy of 1,600 eV.

Simultaneous 3-D LDV measurements of the in-cylinder flows of three different engine setups were summarized for the quantification of the flow characteristics in each vertical or horizontal plane, and in entire cylinder volume. The ensemble averaged-velocity, tumble and swirl motions, and turbulent kinetic energy during the intake and compression strokes were examined from the measured velocity data (approximately 2,000 points for each engine setup). The better spatial resolution of the 3-D LDV allows measurements of the instantaneous flow structures, yielding more valuable information about the smaller flow structures and the cycle-to-cycle variation of these flow patterns. Tumble and swirl ratios, and turbulent kinetic energy were quantified as planar and volumetric quantities. The measurements and calculation results were animated for the visualization of the flow, and hence ease to analysis.

Critical erosion kinetic energy models for radial/median cracks and lateral cracks in a workpiece are established in this study. We used experimental results to demonstrate that the fracture erosion resistance and erosion machining number could be used to evaluate the brittle fracture resistance and machinability of a workpiece. Erosion kinetic energy models were developed to predict brittle fracture and ductile shear, and a critical erosion kinetic energy model was developed to predict the transition from brittle fracture to ductile shear. These models were verified experimentally.

We are now developing a CFD program, AIRVIEW, with several numerical models and the SIMPLER solving method for constructing flow field and thermal comfort. This study is carried out for evaluating an accuracy of AIRVIEW. Comparisons of accuracy are carried out using Phoenics Version 3.4. In this study, we compare the turbulent kinetic energy distribution and local turbulent Re number obtained with Phoenics with those results simulated by AIRVIEW for three kinds of duct. It is observed from comparison of results that the turbulent kinetic energy values are significant due to the large velocity gradients in the region of flow. Numerical results for turbulent kinetic energy distribution and local turbulent Re number are that a good degree of agreement is found.

A new concept of tungsten heavy alloy composite was suggested and manufactured in this study for the kinetic energy penetrator. The composite heavy alloy was composed of two parts, the center was molybdenum added heavy alloy compositions which were designed to promote the self-sharpening effect and outside was conventional heavy alloy in order to sustain the severe stress condition in the muzzle during the firing. The center part showed an intergranular and brittle mode at tungsten/tungsten interfaces by which self-sharpening effect could be activated. On the other hand, that of outside showed conventional ductile fracture mode under high strain rate condition. From the sub-scale penetration test, the depth of penetration in heavy alloy composites showed greater values than those of conventional tungsten heavy alloys. It is suggested that the heavy alloy composite could be considered as one of the future penetrator materials.

The characteristics of flow in dividing regions are precise, therefore their classification is very important not only in industry but also in hydrodynamics. By now, many studies of flow in dividing regions have been peformed, but flow characteristics that use visualization In dividing regions have not been studied. The present study of the PIV and the CFD exhibit average velocity distributions, kinetic energy distributions and total pressure distributions etc of the total flow field due to the development of the accurate visualization optical laser and of optical equipment. Also, PIV is accurate with the flows characteristics of the dividing region as continuous analysis is done using input equipment. The study analyzes velocity vector field, turbulence kinetic energy, turbulence viscosity of dividing regions with flow for visualization of the PIV and the CFD measurement in a dividing rectangular ducts.

In order to use sea breezes to counter the heat island phenomena, i.e. to promote urban ventilation, it is necessary to clarify the effect of building morphology and height on large-scale wind fields. In this study, the sea breeze in the vicinity of the Kanto Plain in Japan is simulated using a mesoscale meteorological model incorporating an urban canopy model, and the inland penetration of sea breezes is accurately reproduced. Additionally, a mean kinetic energy balance within a domain (Control Volume; CV) moving along the sea breeze is analysed. From the results, it is clarified that the sea breeze is interrupted by the resistance and turbulence caused by buildings at the centre of Tokyo. The interruption effect is increased in accordance with the height of these buildings. On the other hand, adverse pressure gradients interrupt in the internal region.

In the present study, the flame factor which primarily influence the simulation accuracy of the combustion process in a gasoline engine was modeled as a nonlinear function of turbulent intensity to laminar flame speed ratio. Multi-length-scale production rate model for turbulent kinetic energy equation was introduced to consider the different length scales of the swirling and tumbling motions in cylinder on the production rte of turbulent kinetic energy. By7 introducing the multi-length-scale production rate model for the turbulent kinetic energy equation, the predictions of turbulent burning velocity , cylinder pressure, mass burning rate and engine performance of a gasoline engine can much be improved.

In this work, we extend the previously developed split kinetic energy (dubbed KEP) method by Mineo and Chao (2012) by modifying the mass parameter to include the negative mass. We first show how to separate the total system into the subsystems with 3 attractive delta potentials by using the KEP method. For repulsive delta potentials, we introduce "negative" mass terms. Two cases are demonstrated using the "negative" mass terms for repulsive delta potential problems in quantum mechanics. Our work shows that the KEP solution scheme can be used to obtain not only the exact energies but also the exact wavefunctions very precisely.

Partially magnetized capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) sources are investigated using a two-dimensional kinetic simulation code named EDIPIC-2D. A converging numerical solution was obtained for CCP with a 60 MHz power source, while properly capturing the dynamics of electrons and power absorption over a single RF period. The effects of magnetic fields with different orientations were evaluated. Axial magnetic fields caused changes in the spatial distribution of plasma density, affecting the loss channel. Transverse magnetic fields enhanced stochastic heating near the powered electrode, leading to an increase in plasma density while the significant E×B drift loss compensated for this rise.
