In this paper, FETI(Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting) method is introduced in order to improve numerical efficiency of Staggered method. The porous media theory, the Staggered method and the FETI method are briefly introduced in this paper. In addition, we account for the MPI(Message Passing Interface) library for parallel analysis, and the proposed combined Staggered method with FETI method. Finally Lagrange multipliers and CG(Conjugate Gradient) algorithm to solve decomposed domain are proposed, and then the proposed method is verified to be numerically efficient by MPI library.

Based on the results of Probabilistic Safety Assessment(PSA) for a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Common Cause Failure(CCF) events have been recognized as one of the main contributors to the risk. Also, the CCF data and estimation method used in domestic PSA models have been pointed out as an issue with respect to the quality. The existing method of MGL and non-staggered testing even widely used were considered conservative in estimating the safety and had a limited capability in uncertainty analyses. Therefore, this paper presents the CCF estimation using a new generic data source and Alpha factor method. The analyses showed that Alpha factor and staggered method are effective in estimating the CCF contribution and risk insights of reference plant. This method will be a common bases for the optimization of new design for the construction plants as well as for the updating of safety assessment on the operating nuclear power plants.

The three-dimensional Stokes flow within a staggered screw channel is obtained by using a finite volume method. The geometry is intended to mimic the single screw extruder having staggered arrangement of flights. The flow solution is then subjected to the analysis of the stirring performance. In the analysis of the stirring performance, the stretching-mapping method developed by the author is employed for calculating the materials' stretching exponents, which are to be used in quantification of the mixing effect. The numerical results Indicate that the staggered geometry gives indeed far much better stirring-performance than the standard (nonstaggered) flight geometry. It was also shown that care must be given to the selection of the basis planes for evaluating the local stretching rate, and it turns out that the best method (H-method) has its basis plane just on the half way between the past and future evolution of fluid particles subjected to the defromation. In evaluating the stretching exponent, the expansion ratio must be considered which is one of the characteristic differences of the actual three-dimensional flows from the two-dimensionmal counterparts. The larger axial pressure-difference causes in general the smaller stirring performance while the flow rate is increased. The smaller channel length also increases the stirring performance.

탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어서 널리 사용되는 엇갈린 격자 방법이 아니라 회전된 엇갈린 격자 방법을 사용하여 탄성파 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 표준 엇갈린 격자 방법에서는 자유 경계조건을 적용하여야 하는 단점이 있지만 회전된 격자 방법에서는 자유 경계조건을 적용할 필요 없이 물성을 부여함으로써 해결될 수 있다. 파동전파에 있어서 유한 경계 조건에서 발생하는 인공 반사파를 제거하기 위하여 최근에 뛰어난 성능을 보이는 PML(Perfectly Matched Layer)법이 많이 적용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 PML보다 성능이 뛰어나기도 하지만 차분에 있어 파동식을 분리할 필요가 없는 CPML(Convolutional Perfectly Matched Layer)법을 회전된 엇갈린 격자법(RSG : Rotatged Staggered Grid)에 적용하고자 하였다. Cerjan법의 감쇠법과 비교한 결과 매우 효과적으로 인공 반사파를 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The non-staggered(collocated) grid approach in which all the solution variables are located at the centers of control volumes is very popular for incompressible flow analyses because of its numerical efficiency on the curvilinear or unstructured grids. Rhie and Chow's paper is the first in using non-staggered grid method for SIMPLE algorithm, where pressure weighted interpolation was used to prevent decoupling of pressure and velocity. But it has been known that this non-staggered grid method has stability problems when pressure fields are nonlinear like in natural convection flows. Also Rhie-Chow scheme generates large numerical diffusion near curved walls. The cause of these unwanted problems is too large pressure damping term compared to the magnitude of face velocity. In this study the magnitude of pressure damping term of Rhie-Chow's method is limited to 1∼10% of face velocity to prevent physically unreasonable solutions. The wall pressure extrapolation which is necessary for cell-centered FVM is another source of numerical errors. Some methods are applied in a unstructured FV solver and analyzed in view of numerical accuracy. Here, two natural convection problems are solved to check the effect of the Rhie-Chow's method on numerical stability. And numerical diffusion from Rhie-Chow's method is studied by solving the inviscid flow around a circular cylinder.

This paper proposes a novel method for increasing the distortional frame rigidity of off-rail box girder bridges for cranes by reinforcing the diaphragm with staggered truss. The study starts by using the Matrix Displacement Method to determine the shear angle of the staggered truss diaphragm under two assumptions: hinge joint and rigid joint. To obtain closed-form solutions for the transversal and longitudinal deformations and warping stress of the crane girder, the study employs the Initial Parameter Method and considers the compatibility of shear deformation at joints between the diaphragms and the girder. The theoretical solutions are validated through finite element analysis, which also confirms that the hinge-joint assumption accurately represents the shear angle of the staggered truss diaphragm in girder distortion. Additionally, the study conducts extensive parameter analyses to examine the impact of staggered truss dimensions on distortional stress and deformation. Furthermore, the study compares the distortional warping stresses of crane girders reinforced with staggered truss diaphragms and those reinforced with perforated ones, emphasizing the importance of incorporating stagger truss in diaphragms. Overall, this paper provides a thorough evaluation of the proposed approach's effectiveness in enhancing the distortional frame rigidity of off-rail box girder bridges for cranes. The findings offer valuable insights into the design and reinforcement of diaphragms using staggered truss to enhance the structural performance of crane girders.

A code is developed using the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method and it is applied to simulate flows around a three-dimensional deforming body. A new criterion is suggested to distribute the immersed boundary nodes based on edges crossing a body boundary. Velocities are reconstructed at the immersed boundary nodes using the interpolation along a local normal line to the boundary. Reconstruction of the pressure at the immersed boundary node is avoided using the hybrid staggered/non-staggered grid method. The developed code is validated through comparisons with other experimental and numerical results for the velocity profiles around a circular cylinder under the forced in-line oscillation and the pressure coefficient distribution on a sphere. The code is applied to simulate the flow fields around a plate whose tail is periodically flapping under a translation. The effects of the velocity and acceleration due to the deformation on the periodic shedding of pairs of tip vortices are investigated.

In this paper, we review the lowest order staggered discontinuous Galerkin methods on polygonal meshes in 2D. The proposed method offers many desirable features including easy implementation, geometrical flexibility, robustness with respect to mesh distortion and low degrees of freedom. Discrete function spaces for locally H¹ and H(div) spaces are considered. We introduce special properties of a sub-mesh from a given star-shaped polygonal mesh which can be utilized in the construction of discrete spaces and implementation of the staggered discontinuous Galerkin method. For demonstration purposes, we consider the lowest case for the Poisson equation. We emphasize its efficient computational implementation using only geometrical properties of the underlying mesh.

탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어서 널리 사용되는 엇갈린 격자 방법이 아니라 회전된 엇갈린 격자 방법을 사용하여 탄성파 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 표준 엇갈린 격자 방법에서는 특별한 자유 경계조건을 적용하여야 하는 단점이 있지만 회전된 격자 방법에서는 물성으로 진공 또는 공기층을 부여함으로써 자유 경계조건을 실현가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 파동전파에 있어서 유한 경계 조건에서 발생하는 인공 반사파를 제거하기 위해 PML (Perfectly Matched Layer)의 파동식 분해라는 단점을 극복할 수 있고 좋은 성능을 보이는 CPML (Convolutional Perfectly Matched Layer)법을 회전된 엇갈린 격자법(RSG: Rotatged Staggered Grid)에 적용하였다. 회전된 격자 유한 차분법에서 CPML의 고주파수 흡수 특성과 에너지 흡수율 조사, Cerjan법의 감쇠를 비교한 결과 흡수경계조건으로 좋은 성능을 확인하였다. 유체와 고체의 모형에 대한 경계에 대하여서도 매우 효과적으로 경계면에서 발생하는 반사파를 제거할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
