Inertial Navigation System has been used extensively to determine the position, velocity and attitude of the body. An INS is very expensive, however, heavy, power intensive, requires long setting times and the accuracy of the system is degraded as time passed due to the accumulated error. Global Positioning System(GPS) receivers can compensate for the Inertial Navigation System with the ability to provide both absolute position and attitude. This study describes a method to improve both the accuracy of a body positioning and the precision of an attitude determination using GPS antenna array. Existing attitude determination methods using low-cost GPS receivers focused on the relative vectors between the master and the slave antennas. Then the positioning of the master antenna is determined in meter-level because the single point positioning with pseudorange measurements is used. To obtain a better positioning accuracy of the body in this research, a wireless internet is used as an alternative data link for the real-time differential corrections and dual-frequency GPS receivers which is expected to be inexpensive was used. The numerical results show that this system has the centimeter level accuracy in positioning and the degree level accuracy in attitude.

흔히 진흙으로 대표되는 점착성 유사는 모래와 같은 비점착성 유사와 달리 응집 현상으로 인해 지속적으로 유사 입자의 크기가 변화한다. 응집 현상은 점착성 유사 입자의 응집 과정과 파괴과정으로 구성된다. 응집 현상 중 응집 과정은 유사 입자 간의 충돌로 인해 발생하는 것으로 이해되며, 충돌을 야기하는 메커니즘으로는 브라운 운동(Brownian Motion), 차등침강(Differential Settling), 난류 전단 (Turbulent Flow Shear)이 있다. 파괴 과정은 입자간 충돌로 인해 깨지는 것이 아닌 난류 전단(Turbulent Shear)로 인한 덩어리 분리(Massive Splitting)가 발생하는 것으로 이해한다. 이러한 유체의 특성, 흐름 특성 (난류 거동) 뿐만 아니라 유사 입자의 특성 모두의 영향을 받으며 지속적인 응집 현상을 겪는 점착성 유사 입자들은 하나의 커다란 덩어리인 플럭(Floc)을 형성한다. 형성된 플럭의 구조는 프랙탈 기하학을 따르는 것으로 이해된다. 따라서 플럭의 구조는 자기 유사성을 띠며, 플럭의 밀도는 형성된 플럭 크기의 함수가 된다. 플럭의 크기가 증가할수록 플럭의 프랙탈 차원이 감소하며, 플럭의 밀도는 감소한다. 많은 이전의 연구에서 플럭의 침강 속도를 농도에 따른 함수로 가정하고 경험식을 이용하여 산정하나, 유사 입자의 침강 속도는 크기와 밀도의 함수임을 Stokes Law를 통해 생각해 볼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 응집 현상의 결과물로 형성된 응집물의 크기와 밀도를 각각 산정하고, Stokes Law를 이용하여 침강 속도와 응집물 크기의 관계에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다. 보다 심도 있는 연구를 위해서는 응집 현상을 야기하는 메커니즘에 대한 이해가 필수적이다. 간소화된 응집 모형으로부터 얻어진 플럭 크기를 이용하여 프랙탈 차원, 플럭의 밀도를 산정한다. 형성된 응집물의 크기와 침강 속도의 관계에 대한 이해를 통해 보다 정확한 플럭의 침강 속도 산정이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Theoretical calculations are carried out for the estimation of linear maneuvering coefficients of a ship moving in shallow water region. Hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on a maneuvering ship are modelled based on a slender body theory, from which integro-differential equation for the unknown inner stream velocity is derived. Numerical algorithms fur solving this equation are described in detail. By considering water depth effects in the mathematical model, variations of maneuvering coefficients with water depth are studied. Programs are developed according to this method and calculations are done for Mariner, Series 60 and Wigley hull forms. For the verification of the programs, calculated results are compared with some analytic solutions and with published experimental results, which show good agreements in spite of many assumptions included in the mathematical model. It is expected that this method can be used as a preliminary tool for the estimation of maneuverability coefficients of a ship in shallow water region at its initial design stage.

A numerical method for simulations of inviscid incompressible flow fields around a ship advancing on the free surface is developed. A body fitted coordinate system, generated by numerically solving elliptic type partial differential equations is used to conform the ship and free surface configurations. Three dimensional Euler equations transformed to the non-staggered body fitted coordinate system are discretised by finite difference method. Time and spatial derivatives are discretised by forward and centered differencings, respectively, and artificial dissipations are added to discretised convection terms for improvements of numerical stability. At each time steps, free surface elevations are recomputed to satisfy nonlinear free surface conditions. Poisson equations for pressure field are solved iteratively and the velocity field for next time step is extrapolated. To verify the developed numerical method, flow fields around a Wigley model are simulated(Fn=0.250-0.408) and compared with experimental data to show good agreements.

Rubber compounds have a high viscoelastic property. One of the viscoelastic behaviors during profile extrusion is the swelling of extrudate, and the amount of swelling varies with operational conditions in extrusion. It is well recognized that the elastic portion in the viscoelastic property plays an important role in the extrudate swell. In this study computer simulation of the die swell at the capillary die for several rubber compounds has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. A non-linear differential viscoelastic model, Phan-Thien-Tanner (PTT) model, was used in the computer simulation. Non-isothermal behavior was considered in the calculation. Distribution of pressure, velocity and temperature in the reservoir and capillary die, and extrudate profiles were predicted through the simulation. The amount of the die swell fur the different rubber compounds was investigated for various flow rates and three types of length to diameter of the capillary die. It is concluded that the PTT model successfully represented viscoelastic behavior of rubber compounds.

The steady-state rotation of plasma centrifuge is theoretically analyzed to understand the physics of rotating plasmas and its feasibility for isotope separation. The centrifuge system under consideration consists of an annular gap between coaxial cylindrical anode and cathode in the presence of an externally-applied axial magnetic field. A problem for coupled partial differential equations describing centrifuge fields is formulated on the basis of the magnetohydrodynamic equations. Two-dimensional solutions are found analytically in the form of Fourier-Bessel series. The current density and velocity distributions are discussed in terms of the Hartmann number and the geometrical parameter of the system. At typical conditions, rotational speeds of the plasma up to the order of 10$^4$m/sec are achievable, and increase either with increasing Hartmann number, or with increasing ratio of the axial length to the inner radius of the cylinder. In view of much higher speeds of rotation which can be achieved in plasma centrifuge, it is expected that its efficiency is superior to mechanically driven gas centrifuges.

Various studies about metallic bipolar plates have been conducted to improve fuel cell performance through flow field design optimization. These research works have been mainly focused on fuel cells for vehicle, but not fuel cells for building. In order to reduce the price and volume of fuel cell stacks for building, it is necessary to apply a metallic flow field, In this study, for a metallic flow field applied to a fuel cell for building, the effect of a change in the flow field shape on the performance of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell was confirmed using a model and experiments with a down-sizing single cell. As a result, the flow field using a metal foam outperforms the channel type flow field because it has higher internal differential pressure and higher reactants velocity in gas diffusion layer, resulting in higher water removal and higher oxygen concentration in the catalyst layer than the channel type flow field. This study is expected to contribute to providing basic data for selecting the optimal flow field for the full stack of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for buildings.

Nowadays, there is a high demand for great structural implementation and multifunctionality with excellent mechanical properties. The porous structures reinforced by graphene platelets (GPLs) having valuable properties, such as heat resistance, lightweight, and excellent energy absorption, have been considerably used in different engineering implementations. However, stiffness of porous structures reduces significantly, due to the internal cavities, by adding GPLs into porous medium, effective mechanical properties of the porous structure considerably enhance. This paper is relating to vibration analysis of fluidconveying cantilever porous graphene platelet reinforced (GPLR) pipe with fractional viscoelastic model resting on foundations. A dynamical model of cantilever porous GPLR pipes conveying fluid and resting on a foundation is proposed, and the vibration, natural frequencies and primary resonant of such a system are explored. The pipe body is considered to be composed of GPLR viscoelastic polymeric pipe with porosity in which Halpin-Tsai scheme in conjunction with the fractional viscoelastic model is used to govern the construction relation of nanocomposite pipe. Three different porosity distributions through the pipe thickness are introduced. The harmonic concentrated force is also applied to the pipe and the excitation frequency is close to the first natural frequency. The governing equation for transverse motions of the pipe is derived by the Hamilton principle and then discretized by the Galerkin procedure. In order to obtain the frequency-response equation, the differential equation is solved with the assumption of small displacement, damping coefficient, and excitation amplitude by the multiple scale method. A parametric sensitivity analysis is carried out to reveal the influence of different parameters, such as nanocomposite pipe properties, fluid velocity and nonlinear viscoelastic foundation coefficients, on the primary resonance and linear natural frequency. Results indicate that the GPLs weight fraction porosity coefficient, fractional derivative order and the retardation time have substantial influences on the dynamic response of the system.

Effects of packing materials on the pressure fluctuations in a fluidized bed have been analysed using statistical method to interpret fluidized bed behavior. The experiments were carried out in a fluidized bed of 6.7cm - ID, and the experimental variables were particle size and its distributions, fluidizing velocity, aspect ratio, and packing materials, etc. Screen packings are used as packing material, the properties of the pressure fluctuations in the fluidized bed were measured by a differential pressure transducer. The measured properties for the pressure fluctuations were the mean, the standard deviation, and the major frequency of the power spectral density functions, etc. The standard deviations of the pressure fluctuations have been slightly affected in the radial directions of fluidized bed, and almost constant in axial directions the height above 4.5cm of the distributor of fuidized bed without packing materials. The major frequency decreased with increaing packing size, whereas it showed maximum at 10% of packing materials. It has been found that the standard deviation of the pressure fluctuations can effectively explain the fluidized phenomena, and the packing materials severely affected the properties of the pressure fluctuations.
