A study has been made for the investigation of the robustness and convergence of various implicit operators of the LU-SGS scheme using linear stability analysis. It is shown that the behavior of the implicit operator is not determined by its own characteristics, but is determined relatively depending on the dissipative property of the explicit operator. It is also shown that, as the dissipation level of the implicit operator increases, the robustness of the scheme increases, but the convergence rate can be deteriorated due to the excessive dissipation. The numerical results demonstrate that the dissipation level of the impliict operator needs to be higher than that of the explicit operator for computing stiff problems.

Coupling beams subject to cyclic loads exhibit different behavioral characteristics and energy dissipation capacity varying with re-bar layouts. In the present study, nonlinear analysis method was developed using analogous truss model. Using the numerical method, parametric studies were performed to investigate the behavioral characteristics and the energy dissipation mechanism of coupling beams with various re-bar layouts subject to cyclic loading. Based on the investigation, a simple and practical method for evaluating the energy dissipation capacity of coupling beams was developed and verified by experiments. The proposed method accurately predicted the dissipated energy during cyclic loading addressing design parameters such as re-bar layouts, re-bar ratio, and deformation. The proposed method can be easily applied to nonlinear static and dynamic methods for seismic analysis and design.

핀칭은 철근콘크리트 부재의 주기거동 특성을 나타내는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 휨지배를 받는 철근콘크리트 부재에 대하여 핀칭거동의 특성과 에너지 소산능력을 연구하기 위하여 수치해석 연구를 실시하였다. 기존의 실험연구와 수치해석 결과를 분석한 결과, 전단거동과 무관한 휨핀칭이 압축력을 받는 부재에서 일어난다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 그러나 일정한 철근 배근형태와 철근양을 갖는 부재들은 압축력의 영향에 의하여 주기거동의 형상이 변하더라도 재하된 압축력의 크기와 관계없이 일정한 에너지소산능력을 갖는다. 이는 콘크리트는 압축력이 증가함에 따라서 그 영향력이 증대되지만 취성재료로서 에너지 소산능력에 큰 영향을 미치지 않으며, 주로 철근에 의하여 에너지 소산이 일어난다는 사실을 가리킨다. 따라서 실제 재하되는 압축력의 크기에 관계없이 단순 휨을 받는 단면에 대한 해석을 통하여 휨지배 부재의 에너지 소산능력을 계산할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과에 근거하여 에너지 소산능력과 감쇠보정계수를 평가할 수 있는 실용적인 방법과 설계식을 개발하였으며, 기존의 실험결과와의 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 이 제안된 방법은 일반적인 설계변수를 이용하여 에너지소산능력을 정확히 평가할 수 있으므로, 설계실무에서 편리하게 사용할 수 있다.

This article is concerned with effective numerical techniques for partial differential equation (PDE)-based image restoration. Numerical realizations of most PDE-based denoising models show a common drawback: loss of fine structures. In order to overcome the drawback, the article introduces a new time-stepping procedure, called the method of nonflat time evolution (MONTE), in which the timestep size is determined based on local image characteristics such as the curvature or the diffusion magnitude. The MONTE provides PDE-based restoration models with an effective mechanism for the equalization of the net diffusion over a wide range of image frequency components. It can be easily applied to diverse evolutionary PDE-based restoration models and their spatial and temporal discretizations. It has been numerically verified that the MONTE results in a significant reduction in numerical dissipation and preserves fine structures such as edges and textures satisfactorily, while it removes the noise with an improved efficiency. Various numerical results are shown to confirm the claim.

Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to study the performance of a surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier in regular waves. The characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients, energy dissipation, and vertical wave force were examined versus different porosities of the barrier. Numerical simulations based on 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard low-Re k-ε turbulent closure and volume of fluid approach were accomplished and compared with the experimental results conducted in a 2D wave tank. Experimental measurements and numerical simulations were shown to be in satisfactory agreement. The qualitative wave behavior propagating over a horizontal porous barrier such as wave run-up, wave breaking, air entrapment, jet flow, and vortex generation was reproduced by CFD computation. Through the discrete harmonic decomposition of the vertical wave force on a wave barrier, the nonlinear characteristics were revealed quantitatively. It was concluded that the surface-fixed horizontal barrier is more effective in dissipating wave energy in the short wave period region and more energy conversion was observed from the first harmonic to higher harmonics with the increase of porosity. The present numerical approach will provide a predictive tool for an accurate and efficient design of the surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier.

A systematic numerical comparative study of the performance of semicircular and rectangular submerged breakwaters interacting with solitary waves is the basis of this paper. To accomplish this task, Nwogu's extended Boussinesq model equations are employed to simulate the interaction of the wave with breakwaters. The finite difference technique has been used to discretize the spatial terms while a fourth-order predictor-corrector method is employed for time discretization in our numerical model. The proposed computational scheme uses a staggered-grid system where the first-order spatial derivatives have been discretized with fourth-order accuracy. For validation purposes, five test cases are considered and numerical results have been successfully compared with the existing analytical and experimental results. The performances of the rectangular and semicircular breakwaters have been examined in terms of the wave reflection, transmission, and dissipation coefficients (RTD coefficients) denoted by K_R, K_T, K_D. The latter coefficient K_D emerges due to the non-energy conserving K_R and K_T. Our computational results and graphical illustrations show that the rectangular breakwater has higher reflection coefficients than semicircular breakwater for a fixed crest height, but as the wave height increases, the two reflection coefficients approach each other. un the other hand, the rectangular breakwater has larger dissipation coefficients compared to that of the semicircular breakwater and the difference between them increases as the height of the crest increases. However, the transmission coefficient for the semicircular breakwater is greater than that of the rectangular breakwater and the difference in their transmission coefficients increases with the crest height. Quantitatively, for rectangular breakwaters the reflection coefficients K_R are 5-15% higher while the diffusion coefficients K_D are 3-23% higher than that for the semicircular breakwaters, respectively. The transmission coefficients K_T for rectangular breakwater shows the better performance up to 2.47% than that for the semicircular breakwaters. Based on our computational results, one may conclude that the rectangular breakwater has a better overall performance than the semicircular breakwater. Although the model equations are non-dissipative, the non-energy conserving transmission and reflection coefficients due to wave-breakwater interactions lead to dissipation type contribution.

본 연구에서는 다양한 배근상세를 갖는 짧은 연결보 (short coupling beam)의 주기거동특성과 에너지소산 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 주기하중을 받는 연결보의 수치해석을 위하여 비선형트러스모델 (nonlinear truss model)을 사용하였다. 수치해석 결과, 일반적인 수직 수평배근상세를 갖는 연결보는 핀칭이 심한 주기곡선을 보이며 거의 에너지를 소산하지 못하였다. 반면 대각배근상세를 갖는 연결보는 핀칭이 없는 안정적인 주기거동을 보이며 많은 에너지를 소산하였으며, 연결보의 에너지소산은 취성재료인 콘크리트보다 주로 대각 방향으로 배치된 철근에 의하여 발생됐다. 이러한 분석 결과를 토대로 대각철근의 변형률 이력을 사용하여 연결보의 에너지소산량을 예측할 수 있는 간편한 평가식을 개발하였다. 검증을 위하여 제안된 평가식과 실험으로 구한 연결보의 에너지소산량을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 제안된 평가식은 배근형태, 전단경간비, 비탄성 변형 크기 등 다양한 설계변수의 영향을 고려하여 전단경간비가 1.25이하인 짧은 연결보의 에너지소산량을 비교적 정확히 예측하였다. 제안된 에너지소산량 평가 방법은 철근콘크리트구조물 및 부재의 성능 기초 내진평가/설계에 손쉽게 활용될 수 있다.

While the cyclic behaviour of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined columns is studied rather extensively, the cyclic response especially the energy dissipation of FRP-confined damaged and undamaged square RC columns is not yet fully understood. In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation was conducted to study the cyclic behavior of two different types of Carbon FRP (CFRP)-confined square RC columns: strengthened and repaired. The main variables investigated are initial damage, confinement of CFRP, longitudinal steel reinforcement ratio. The experimental results show that lower initial damage, added confinement with CFRP and longitudinal reinforcement enhance the ductility, energy dissipation capacity and strength of the columns, decrease the stiffness and strength degradation rates of all CFRP-confined square RC columns. Two hysteretic constitutive models were developed for confined damaged and undamaged concrete and cast into the non-linear beam-column fiber-based models in the software Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) to analyze the cyclic behavior of CFRP-confined damaged and undamaged columns. The results of the numerical models are in good agreement with the experiments.

The artificial compressibility (AC) method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the generalized curvilinear coordinates using the primitive form is implemented. The main advantage of the AC approach is that the resulting system of equations resembles the system of compressible N-S equations and can thus be integrated in time using standard, well-established time-marching methods. The errors, which are the odd-even oscillation, for pressure field in using the artificial compressibility can be eliminated by using the $4^{th}$ order artificial dissipation term which is explicitly included. Even though this paper focuses exclusively on 2D laminar flows to validate and assess the performance of this solver, this numerical method is general enough so that it can be readily extended to carry out 3D URANS simulation of engineering flows. This algorithm yields practically identical velocity profiles and primary vortex and secondary vortices that are in excellent overall agreement with the results of the vorticity-stream function formulation (Ghia et al., 1982). However, the grid resolution have to be required to be large enough to express the various vortices.

This paper employs numerical tools to obtain an optimal thermal design of a heat exchanger with plain-fins. This heat exchanger is located at the condensing section of a crevice-type heat pipe. The plain-fins in the heat exchanger are radically mounted to two tubes in the condensing section. To obtain the optimal design parameters, a computational fluid dynamics technique is introduced and applied to different placement configurations in a system module. Owing to its effects on the heat pipe performance, the temperature difference between the tube surfaces and ambient air is investigated in detail. A greater heat dissipation rate occurs when the plain-fin offsets change from 2 to 3 mm. When this temperature difference is ${\Delta}T=70^{\circ}C$, the upper part of the plain-fins undergoes an accumulation of heat. At below $70^{\circ}C$, the dissipation of heat is accepted. A rectangular plain-fin geometry with varying widths and heights does not have a significant impact on the heat dissipation through-out the overall system. In addition, the temperature distributions between different plain-fin pitches show an equal profile even with different fin pitches.
