High-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the flame stability of the turbulent supersonic combustion in a Dual-Combustion Ramjet (DCR). The auto-ignition in a shear layer between hydrogen/carbon-monoxide syngas and air was studied at elevated enthalpy condition. Comparison of a constant area combustor and a combustor with a small divergence angle shows that the supersonic combustion has a characteristics of the lifted flame and its stability is influenced significantly by the compressibility.

The levitation stability of a Maglev vehicle utilizing electromagnetic suspension is primarily influenced by the deformation, roughness, and vibration of the guideway. Optimum design for both the vehicle and the guideway is desirable in order to reduce guideway construction cost, while meeting requirements for stability and ride quality. This paper presents an analysis of the levitation stability of the UTM-01, an urban Maglev vehicle, using a numerical simulation. The ODYN/Maglev, a dynamics analysis program, is used to simulate dynamics to evaluate the stability. A running test of the UTM-01 is also carried out to verify the results of the simulation. Using the simulation results, the levitation stability of the UTM-01 can be numerically analyzed at a variety of vehicle speeds.

이 논문은 자기부상열차 속력에 따른 부상제어기 성능을 분석한다. 현재 실용화 사업은 시속 110km/h 속력으로 부상공극 8 mm 기준으로 상하 3 mm 이하 변화를 목표로 개발 중에 있다. 부상제어기의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 외란으로는 가이드웨어 처짐, 크로스아암에 의한 레일 처짐, 레일 불균일, 레일 연결부 단차 등이 있다. 이러한 외란이 복합적으로 작용하지만, 설계 단계에서 각각의 영향을 단순화하여 독립적으로 그 영향을 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 차량속력에 따른 가이드웨어 처짐이 부상제어기에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 하나의 전자석과 유연레일을 모델링하고 상태궤환을 갖는 제어기를 제안하여 속력에 따른 부상공극 변화를 관찰한다. 모의시험 결과 12 mm 레일의 휘어짐 상황에서 속력에 따라 부상 공극 변화가 커지지만, 실용화 사업의 목표를 달성함을 알 수 있었다.

In magnetic levitation vehicles, the clearance between the magnet and track should be maintained within an allowable range through a feedback control loop. The flexibility of the guideway would introduce additional modes in the overall suspension system, resulting in dynamic interaction between the guideway vibration and the electromagnetic suspension control system. This dynamic interaction can be a serious problem, particularly at very low speeds or standstill, and may cause airgap instability. To optimize the overall system dynamics, an integrated dynamic model including mechanical and electrical parts and a flexible guideway as well as a control loop was developed. With the proposed model, airgap simulations at standstill were performed while varying the control gains, specifically with the aim of understanding the effects of gains of the PID controller on the airgap variation. The findings may be used to achieve a stable levitation controller design.

A magnetically levitating capsule train, which runs inside the sub-vacuum tube, can reach ultra-fast speeds by dramatically reducing the aerodynamic drag and friction. The capsule train uses the superconductor electrodynamic suspension (SC-EDS) method for levitation. The SC-EDS method has advantages, such as a large levitation gap and free of gap control, which could reduce the infra-construction cost. On the other hand, disadvantages, such as the large variation of the levitation-guidance gap and small damping characteristics in levitation-guidance force, could degrade the running stability and ride comfort of the capsule train. In this study, a dynamic analytical model of a capsule train based on the SC-EDS was developed to analyze the running dynamic characteristics. First, as important factors in the capsule train dynamics, the levitation and guidance stiffness in the SC-EDS system were derived, which depend non-linearly on the velocity and gap variation. A 3D dynamic analysis model for capsule trains was developed based on the derived stiffness. Through the developed model, the effects of the different running speeds on the ride comfort were analyzed. The effects of a disturbance from infrastructure, such as the curve radius, tube sag, and connection joint difference, on the running stability of the capsule train, were also analyzed.

In this paper, we propose design methods of suspension controller for magnetically levitated system(MAGLEV). In this interior, the study of Electromagnetic Suspension(EMS) which has several advantages is chiefly achieved but, because the EMS has highly nonlinear and unstable property it is difficult to design the suspension controller maintaining stability and high performance. Here a Gain Scheduling Control(GSC) based on pole-placement scheme and on linear quadratic gaussian(LQG) design is separately presented. The several control performance is shown by simulation.

A method that predicts the flying state of the head slider in an optical disk drive (ODD) or a hard disk drive(HDD) was investigated. The dual solver based on the Newton method and the quasi-Newton method have been developed to simulate the steady-state flying conditions. The numerical results show the effectiveness and reliability of this new solver.

This study is concerned with static and sinusoidal disturbance rejection for a single periodic input disturbance with known period. In the area of active elimination of a disturbance force, the control input should have two different kinds of gains: one is to deliver a stable control and the other is a force component to cancel the external disturbance force. In this paper we employ a simple state feedback control law to make the balance beam stable and employ a linear observer to estimate the states which represent the external disturbance force components. Simulation results verify our proposed control method to reject a static and sinusoidal disturbance force.

The study of nitrogen dilution effect on flame stability was experimentally investigated in non-premixed turbulent lifted hydrogen jet with coaxial air. hydrogen gas was used as a fuel and coaxial air was injected to make flame liftoff. And both of the fuel jet and coaxial air velocity were fixed as $u_F$=200 m/s and $u_A$=16 m/s, while nitrogen diluents mole fraction was varied from 0 to 0.2. For the analysis of flame structure and flame stabilization mechanism, the simultaneous measurement of PIV/OH PLIF had been performed. It was found that the turbulent flame propagation velocity increased as decreasing of nitrogen mole fraction. We concluded that the turbulent flame propagation velocity was expressed as a function of turbulent intensity, even though the mole fraction of nitrogen diluents gas was changed.
