In this paper, the numerical wave propagation properties of the finite difference-time domain(FD-TD) method is investigated as a discrete model describing electromagnetic(EM) wave propagation phenomena. The leap-frog approximation of Maxwell's curl equations in time-space simulates EM wave propagation in terms of the numerical characteristic and the domain of dependence. A geometrical interpretation of the FD-TD numerical procedure is presented. The numerical dispersion error due to the leap-frog approximation and its dependence on the stability factor are illustrated. The FD-TD method using the leap-frog approximation is inherently a descriptive model. Thus, not only any physical picture about EM wave propagation phenomena can be drawn through this model, but also physical or engineering parameters in the frequency domain can be extracted from descriptive results. E-plane filter characteristics in the WR-28 rectangular waveguide and reflection property of an inductive iris in the WR-90 rectangluar waveguide extracted from simulation of the FD-TD model is included.

The Taylor expansion expresses a differentiable function and its coefficients provide good approximations for the given function and its derivatives. In this study, m-th order Taylor Polynomial is constructed and the coefficients are computed by the Moving Least Squares method. The coefficients are applied to the governing partial differential equation for solid problems including crack problems. The discrete system of difference equations are set up based on the concept of point collocation. The developed method effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the finite difference method which is dependent of the grid structure and has no approximation function, and the Galerkin-based meshfree method which involves time-consuming integration of weak form and differentiation of the shape function and cumbersome treatment of essential boundary.

High speed vehicles are subjected to high thermal loadings due to aerodynamic heating during ascent and reentry. Since a thermal protection system panel is mechanically constrained, it may cause thermal buckling under excessive thermal loadings. The thermal buckling could disturb the field of flow and make aerodynamic characteristics unstable. It is thus necessary to design the thermal protection system panel to prevent thermal buckling. This study defines the analytical model of temperature distribution using the finite difference method for the thermal protection system panel with large temperature differences inside and outside. This paper proposes the approximate model of the thermal buckling characteristics for the thermal protection system panel through the use of the Ritz method. The validity of the present method was verified by comparing the results of the finite element analysis. Furthermore, this research performs the parametric analysis of the thermal buckling characteristics for the thermal protection system panel by using the approximate model.

Efficient approximate reanalysis techniques based on substructuring are presented. In most optimal design problems, the analysis precedure must be repeated many times. In particular, one of the main obstacles in the structural optimization systems is high computational cost and time required for the repeated analysis of large-scale structural systems. The purpose of this paper is to show how to evaluate efficiently the sturctural behavior of new designs using information from the previous ones, instead of the multiple repeated analysis of basic equations for successive modification in the optimal design. The proposed reanalysis method is a combined Taylor series expansion and reduced basis method based on substructuring. Several numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents a highly efficient moving least squares finite difference method (MLS FDM) for a heat transfer problem of bi-material with interfacial boundary. The MLS FDM directly discretizes governing differential equations based on a node set without a grid structure. In the method, difference equations are constructed by the Taylor polynomial expanded by moving least squares method. The wedge function is designed on the concept of hyperplane function and is embedded in the derivative approximation formula on the moving least squares sense. Thus interfacial singular behavior like normal derivative jump is naturally modeled and the merit of MLS FDM in fast derivative computation is assured. Numerical experiments for heat transfer problem of bi-material with different heat conductivities show that the developed method achieves high efficiency as well as good accuracy in interface problems.

튜브 내의 입구영역에서 난류 유동에 의한 대류와 비회복사(non-gray radiation)가 동시에 일어날 때의 열전달특성을 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. 작동유체는 이산화탄소, 수증기, 질소의 혼합가스라고 가정하였다. 지배방정식을 계산하기 위해 유한차분법이 이용되었고, 복사전달방정식을 이차편미분방정식으로 바꾸기 위해 P-1 근사법이 사용되었다. 그리고 혼합가스의 비회흡수계수(non-gray absorption coefficient)는 지수광폭밴드모형(exponential wide band model)을 이용해서 구하였다. 열전달특성에 대한 온도조건의 영향을 조사하기 위해 튜브의 축방향에 대한 평균 온도와 뉴셀트수(Nusselt number)의 변화를 몇 가지 다른 온도조건에 대해 나타내었다. 또한, 가스의 성분조성에 대한 영향을 조사하였으며, 이러한 결과에 기초해서 튜브 내에서 난류유동에 의한 대류와 비화복사가 동시에 일어날 때의 복사 뉴셀트수를 쉽게 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다.

Both scatterer method and transfer matrix method are compared to analyze their characteristics, which are wave propagation models due to topographic change based on plane wave approximation. Results from the scatterer method are closer to the results obtained by the more accurate existing models and it is appraised that the scatterer method gives the clearer explanation about physical process involved in the wave transformation. Since both methods have analytical solutions, in the computational point of view they are very fast and easy to be implemented. Both methods give a good prediction for wave scattering by relatively simple bedform.

전력계통의 과도 안정도 해석의 접근방법에는 SI(Simultaneous Implicit)법과 PE(Partitioned Explicit)법 두 가지방법을 사용해오고 있다. SI법에는 Trapezoidal법 등이 있고, PE법에는 Runge-Kutta법, Euler법등이 사용되고 있다. SI법인 Trapezoidal법은 PE법의 Runge-Kutta법 또는 Euler법에 비해 시간간격을 크게 해서 계산속도를 줄일 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 정화도면에서는 신뢰한 수 없는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 포물선 사법을 이용하여 Trapezoidal법의 정확도를 개선학 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 명확한 수학적 증명을 통해 타당성을 보여준다. 연속함수와 불연속함수에 대해서 Runge-Kutta법과 Trapezoidal법과 제안한 방법을 적용시켜서 제안한 방법의 정화함을 보여준다.

In numerical analysis numerical values of thermodynamic properties such as temperature, pressure, specific volume, enthalpy and entropy are required. But most of the thermodynamic properties of the steam table are determined by experiment. Therefore they are supposed to have measurement errors. In order to make noised thermodynamic properties corresponding to errors, random numbers are generated, adjusted to appropriate magnitudes and added to original thermodynamic properties. the neural networks and quadratic spline interpolation method are introduced for function approximation of these modified thermodynamic properties in the saturated water based on pressure. It was proved that the neural networks give smaller percentage error compared with quadratic spline interpolation. From this fact it was confirmed that the neural networks trace the original values of thermodynamic properties better than the quadratic interpolation method.

In this paper, an analytical method and a difference approximation method to calculate the gradient of an objective function have been applied to the directivity optimization in an adaptive ultrasonic transducer which is combined with a point source array and an optimization algorithm (DFP method). To compare these two methods, quasi-ideal .beam with a beam width and direction specified are chosen as the desired directivity. As the numerical results, the difference approximation method shows better suppressive capacity of side lobe level, good stability in the convergence processing, faster convergence speed and excellent adaptability compared with the analytical method.
