A novel space vector modulation strategy in the non-orthogonal three-dimensional coordinate system for multi-level three-phase four-wire inverters is proposed in this paper. This new non-orthogonal three-dimensional space vector modulation converts original trigonometric functions in the orthogonal three-dimensional space coordinate into simple algebraic operations, which greatly reduces the algorithm complexity of three-dimensional space vector modulation and preserves the independent control of the zero-sequence component. Experimental results have verified the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed three-dimensional space vector modulation in the new non-orthogonal three-dimensional coordinate system.

A study of radiative heat heat transfer has been done in the non-orthogonal coordinate system utilizing the finite volume method and the P.1 approximation. Radiation of absorbing, emitting and scattering media in a concentric annulus has been solved using the non-orthogonal coordinate and the calculations were compared with the existing results. The results obtained from the analysis using the finite volume method are in good agreement with the existing calculations for all optical thicknesses. It was also shown that for only optically thick cases, P-1 approximation can be used in a non-orthogonal coordinate. Convective heat transfer analysis has been carried out to obtain the temperature fields in a cross flow around a circular cylinder and the finite volume method was applied in the non-orthogonal coordinate system to analyze radiative heat transfer. Effects of the optical thickness, the ratio of the surface temperature of the cylinder tot he free stream temperature, and the scattering albedo on radiation have been presented.

Various numerical methods for the two dimensional shallow water equations have been applied to the problems of flood routing, tidal circulation, storm surges, and atmospheric circulation. These methods are often based on the Alternating Direction Implicity(ADI) method. However, the ADI method results in inaccuracies for large time steps when dealing with a complex geometry or bathymetry. Since this method reduces the performance considerably, a fully implicit method developed by Wilders et al. (1998) is used to improve the accuracy for a large time step. Finite Difference Methods are defined on a rectangular grid. Two drawbacks of this type of grid are that grid refinement is not possibile locally and that the physical boundary is sometimes poorly represented by the numerical model boundary. Because of the second deficiency several purely numerical boundary effects can be involved. A boundary fitted curvilinear coordinate transformation is used to reduce these difficulties. It the curvilinear coordinate transformation is used to reduce these difficulties. If the coordinate transformation is orthogonal then the transformed shallow water equations are similar to the original equations. Therefore, an orthogonal coorinate transformation is used for defining coordinate system. A multigrid (MG) method is widely used to accelerate the convergence in the numerical methods. In this study, a technique using a MG method is proposed to reduce the computing time and to improve the accuracy for the orthogonal to reduce the computing time and to improve the accuracy for the orthogonal grid generation and the solutions of the shallow water equations.

Turbulent flows around tube banks and in the diffuser were studied using a non-orthogonal boundary fitted coordinate system and the modified K-.epsilon. turbulence model. In these cases, many problems emerge which stem from the geometrical complexity of the flow domain and the physical complexity of turbulent flow itself. To treat the complex geometry, governing equations were reformulated in a non-orthogonal coordinate system with Cartesian velocity components and discretised by the finite volume method with a non-staggered variable arrangement. The modified K-.epsilon. model of Hanjalic and Launer was applied to solve above two cases under the condition of strong and mild pressure gradient. The results using the modified K-.epsilon. model results in both test cases.

This paper presents the method to eliminate the constraint reaction in the Lagrange multiplier form equation of motion by using a generalized coordinate driveder from the velocity constraint equation. This method introduces a matrix method by considering the m dimensional space spanned by the rows of the constraint jacobian matrix. The orthogonal vectors defining the constraint manifold are projected to null vectors by the tangential vectors defined on the constraint manifold. Therefore the orthogonal projection matrix is defined by the tangential vectors. For correcting the generalized position coordinate, the optimization problem is formulated. And this correction process is analyzed by the quasi Newton method. Finally this method is verified through 3 dimensional vehicle model.

In this paper, we propose a new type of mutually cooperative relaying (MCR) scheme based on a spatially coordinate-interleaved orthogonal design (SCID), in which two cooperative users are spatially multiplexed without bandwidth expansion. It provides not only diversity gain (with order of two) as in the existing MCR scheme, but also additional coding gain. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SCID scheme is useful for improving the uplink performance as long as one user can find another active user as a close neighbor that is simultaneously communicating with the same destination, e.g., a base station in the cellular network.

In the present study, a new method of generating a nearly orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate systems with automatic grid spacing control is introduced. Applications of the method to a two dimensional simply-connected region is then demonstrated. The nearly orthogonal boundary-fitted method has the following features, (a) Strong grid control in the .eta.-direction can be made, (b) The generated boundary-fitted coordinates are nearly orthoronal, (c) Both the .xi.-and .eta.-direction control function are mathematically derived. Especially the .eta.-direction control function is derived under the assumption that the .eta.-direction grid spacing is by far smaller than the .xi.-direction grid spacing when the .eta.-direction grid line is strongly clustered. (d) The grid control functions are dynamically adjusted by the metric scale factors imposed on the boundary. The control function is fully automatic and eliminates the need of user manipulation of the control function.

We introduce a rotated square QAM constellation with low peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) for coordinate interleaved orthogonal design (CIOD). The proposed signal constellation has much lower PAPR than the ordinary square QAM constellations for CIOD while it keeps almost the same coordinate product distance (CPD).

The finite-volume method for radiation in a three-dimensional non-orthogonal gas turbine combustion chamber with absorbing, emitting and anisotropically scattering medium is presented. The governing radiative transfer equation and its discretization equation using the step scheme are examined, while geometric relations which transform the Cartesian coordinate to a general body-fitted coordinate are provided to close the finite-volume formulation. The scattering phase function is modeled by a Legendre polynomial series. After a benchmark solution for three-dimensional rectangular combustor is obtained to validate the present formulation, a problem in three-dimensional non-orthogonal gas turbine combustor is investigated by changing such parameters as scattering albedo, scattering phase function and optical thickness. Heat flux in case of isotropic scattering is the same as that of non-scattering with specified heat generation in the medium. Forward scattering is found to produce higher radiative heat flux at hot and cold wall than backward scattering and optical thickness is also shown to play an important role in the problem. Results show that finite-volume method for radiation works well in orthogonal and non-orthogonal systems.

In this paper, we derive exact closed-form formulas, in terms of Meijer's G-function, for the ergodic capacity of space-time block codes (STBCs) from generalized linear complex orthogonal designs (GLCODs) and generalized coordinate interleaved orthogonal designs (GCIODs) in quasi-static frequency-nonselective i.i.d. Nakagami-m fading channels. The derived analytical results show an excellent agreement with Monte-Carlo simulation results. Thus, a useful means for analyzing and predicting the ergodic capacity performance of STBCs from GLCODs or GCIODs can be provided in various antenna configurations and different channel conditions without extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. We present some numerical results to verify the accuracy of the derived formulas.
