A modified version of SST turbulence model is suggested to simulate unsteady separated flows over oscillating airfoils. The original SST model, which shows good performance in predicting various steady flows, often results in oscillatory behavior of aerodynamic loads in large separated flow regions. It is shown that this oscillatory behavior is due to the adoption of the absolute value of vorticity in generalizing the original model. As a remedy, a modification is made such that the vorticity in the original SST model is replaced by strain rate. The present model is verified for a mild separated airfoil flow at fixed angle of incidence and for unsteady flowfields about oscillating airfoils. The results are compared with BSL model and original SST model. It is illustrated that the present model gives a better agreement with the experimental results than other two models.

A methodology for the simulation of compressible high Reynolds number flow over rigid and moving bodies on a structured Cartesian grid is described in this paper. The approach is based on a modified version of the Brinkman Penalization method. To avoid oscillations in the vicinity of the body and to simulate shcok-containing flows, a Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory scheme is used to discretize the spatial flux derivatives. For high Reynolds number viscous flow, two turbulence models of the two-equation Menter's SST URANS model and a two-equation Detached Eddy Simulation are implemented. Some simple flow examples are given to assess the accuracy of the technique. Finally, a moving grid capability is demonstrated.

The aim of this paper is to design a speed controller of a DC motor by selection of a PID parameters using genetic algorithm. The model of a DC motor is considered as a typical non-oscillatory, second-order system, And this paper compares three kinds of tuning methods of parameter for PID controller. One is the controller design by the genetic algorithm. second is the controller design by the model matching method third is the controller design by Ziegler and Nichols method. It was found that the proposed PID parameters adjustment by the genetic algorithm is better than the Ziegler & Nickels' method. And also found that the results of the method by the genetic algorithm is nearly same as the model matching method which is analytical method. The proposed method could be applied to the higher order system which is not easy to use the model matching method.

We compare FT (Fourier Transform) and SD (Stress Decomposition), the interpretation methods for LAOS (Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear). Although the two methods are equivalent in mathematics. they are significantly different in numerical procedures. Precision of FT greatly depends on sampling rate and length of data because FT of experimental data is the discrete version of Fourier integral theorem. FT inevitably involves unnecessary frequencies which must not appear in LAOS. On the other hand, SD is free from the problems from which FT suffers, because SD involves only odd harmonics of primary frequency. SD is based on two axioms on shear stress: [1] shear stress is a sufficiently smooth function of strain and its time derivatives; [2] shear stress satisfies macroscopic time-reversal symmetry. In this paper, we compared numerical aspects of the two interpretation methods for LAOS.

Steady and unsteady flows between rotating cylinders are of interest on lubrication, convective heat transfer and flow-induced vibration in large rotating machinery. Steady rotating flow is generated by rotating cylinder with constant velocity while the unsteady rotating flow by oscillating cylinder with homogeneoysly oscillating velocity. An analytical method is developed based on the simple radial coordinate transformation for the steady and unsteady rotating flows in concentric annulus. The governing equations are simplified from Navier-Stokes equatins. Considering the skin friction based on the radial variation of circumferential flow velocity, the torques acting on the fixed and the rotating cylinder are evaluated in terms of added-inertia and added-damping torque coefficients. The coefficients are found to be influenced by the oscillatory Reynolds number and the radius ratio of two cylinders; however, the effect of the oscillatory Reynolds number on the coefficients is minor in case of relatively low radius ratio.

This paper deals with an improved core loss calculation of Linear Oscillatory Motor from curve fitting method using modified Steinmetz equation considered anomalous loss. For an accurate calculation, magnetic field analyses in stator core considering, magnetic field analyses in stator core considering the time harmonics are performed. And using the nonlinear finite element analysis (FEM), we applied separated rotating and alternating magnetic filed to core loss calculation.

This paper deals with the characteristic analysis of permanent magnet linear oscillatory motor (LOM). The back EMF and airgap flux density was calculated by Equivalent Magnetic Circuit (EMC) method, it can be computing times less than the finite element method (FEM). In addition, analysis results obtained by proposed EMC are validated by comparison with those by Finite Element Method.

This paper presents a multiple degree-of-freedom (dof) energy bounding approach (EBA) to enhance directional transparency while guaranteeing stability for multiple-dof haptic interaction. It was observed that the passivity condition for multiple ports may lead to some oscillatory limit cycle behaviors in some coordinate directions even though the total sum of energy flow-in is positive, meaning that the system is passive. The passivity condition, therefore, needs to be applied to each coordinate in order to avoid oscillatory behavior by keeping each energy flow-in always positive. For guaranteeing passivity, which in turn, stability in each coordinates, the EBA is applied. For multiple-dof haptic interaction, however, the EBA in each coordinate may distort the direction of the force vector to be rendered since the EBA may cut down the magnitude of the force and torque vectors to be rendered in order to ensure the passivity. For avoiding this problem, a simple projection method is presented. The validity of the proposed algorithm is shown by several experiments.

In this paper, we report the experimental results for the flow pattern and the material transport around a cavity subject to a sinusoidal external flow at the far region to ward the open side of the cavity. A tilting mechanism is used to generate a oscillatory flow inside a shallow rectangular container having a cavity at one side. The surface flow visualization is performed to obtain the unsteady behavior of vortices generated at two edges situated at the entrance of the cavity. It was found that at the period 4.5 sec., the behavior of the vortices is asymmetric, and there exists a steady residual flow in the cavity. The bottom flow patterns are also visualized. There are two regions outside of the cavity where the bottom fluid particles concentrate. The material transport in this flow model is very peculiar; fluid particles in the cavity flows outward through the passage along the walls starting from the edges, and particles in the outer region approach the cavity from the central region.

The growth of a spherical vapor bubble contained in a large body of upper convected Maxwell fluid is theoretically analyzed under the devolatilization condition of polymer by using a Galerkin FEM in the Lagrangian frame. Using the finite element technique, a fully explicit numerical scheme is developed both for the calculation of pressure distribution and for the tracking of bubble surface. Oscillatory behavior in bubble radius is observed during growth and the oscillatory behavior is found to be due to the interaction of mass transfer resistance and elasticity. It is found that the elasticity of fluid accelerates the growth and removal of volatile component. It is also found that the bubble growth in the devolatilization of polymers is affected by both mass transfer resistance and viscoelasticity of fluids.
