Parallel computing method is widely used in the computational fluid dynamics for efficient numerical analysis. Nowadays, low cost Linux cluster computers substitute for traditional supercomputers with parallel computing shcemes. The performance of nemerical solvers on an Linux cluster computer is highly dependent not on the performance of processors but on the performance of network devices in the cluster system. In this paper, we investigated the effects of the network devices such as Myrinet2000, gigabit ethernet, and fast ethernet on the performance of the cluster system by using some benchmark programs such as Netpipe, LINPACK, NAS NPB, and MPINS2D Navier-Stokes solvers. Finally, upon this investigation, we will suggest the method for building high performance low cost Linux cluster system in the computational fluid dynamics analysis.

For a successful accomplishment of Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS) projects, appropriate injection conditions should be designed and optimized for site specific geological conditions. In this study, we evaluated the effect of injection conditions such as injection temperature and injection rate on the geomechanical stability of CCS system in terms of TOUGH-FLAC simulator, which is one of the well-known T-H-M coupled analysis methods. The stability of the storage system was assessed by a shear slip potential of the pre-existing fractures both in a reservoir and caprock, expressed by mobilized friction angle and Mohr stress circle. We demonstrated that no tensile fracturing was induced even in the cold CO2 injection, where the injected CO2 temperature is much lower than that of the reservoir and tensile thermal stress is generated, but shear slip of the fractures in the reservoir may occur. We also conducted a scenario analysis by varying injected CO2 volume per unit time, and found out that it was when the injection rate was decreasing in a step-wise that showed the least potential of a shear slip.

This paper discusses an energy system that can convert wave energy into electrical energy. This wave energy generation system is movable and has 12 arms and one generator. A multibody dynamic model for this system is established by using kinematic constraints. A gear mechanism, several kinematic constraints, and force elements are included in the model. Wave forces are obtained numerically from the time domain formulation based on the Morison equation. The MSC/ADAMS program is employed to carry out dynamic analysis of the wave energy generation system. The dynamic behavior responses of this system are analyzed for design verification. According to the results of the dynamic analysis, the yaw motion is relatively stable and kinetic energy sufficient to generate electrical energy is obtained when the wave height exceeds 1m.

Natural barrier systems surrounding the geological repository for the high-level radioactive waste should guarantee the hydraulic performance for preventing or delaying the leakage of radionuclide. In the case of the behavior of a crystalline rock, the hydraulic performance tends to be decided by the existence of discontinuities, so the coupled hydro-mechanical(HM) processes on the discontinuities should be characterized. The discontinuum modelling can describe the complicated behavior of discontinuities including creation, propagation, deformation and slip, so it is appropriate to model the behavior of a crystalline rock. This paper investigated the coupled HM processes in discontinuum modelling such as UDEC, 3DEC, PFC, DDA, FRACOD and TOUGH-UDEC. Block-based discontinuum methods tend to describe the HM processes based on the fluid flow through the discontinuities, and some methods are combined with another numerical tool specialized in hydraulic analysis. Particle-based discontinuum modelling describes the overall HM processes based on the fluid flow among the particles. The discontinuum methods that are currently available have limitations: exclusive simulations for two-dimension, low hydraulic simulation efficiency, fracture-dominated fluid flow and simplified hydraulic analysis, so it could be improper to the modelling the geological repository. Based on the concepts of various discontinuum modelling compiled in this paper, the advanced numerical tools for describing the accurate coupled HM processes of the deep geological repository should be developed.

In this paper, the states and the parameters in the dynamic system are simultaneously estimated by applying the UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter), which is widely used for estimating the state of non-linear systems. Estimating the parameter is very important in various fields, such as system control, modeling, analysis of performance, and prediction. Most of the dynamic systems which are dealt with in engineering have non-linearity as well as some noise. Therefore, the parameter estimation is difficult. This paper estimates the states and the parameters applying to the UKF, which is a non-linear filter and has strong noise. The augmented equation is used by including the addition of the parameter factors to the original state equation of the system. Moreover, it is simulated by applying to a 2-DOF(Degree of Freedom) dynamic system composed of the pendulum and the slide. The measurement noise of the dynamic equation is assumed to be a Gaussian distribution. As the simulation results show, the proposed parameter estimation performs better than the LSM(Least Square Method). Furthermore, the estimation errors and convergence time are within three percent and 0.1 second, respectively. Consequentially, the UKF is able to estimate the system states and the parameters for the system, despite having measurement data with noise.

Currently, the majority of systems which are non-linear are in need of the correct system equations for controlling and monitoring. Therefore, the correct estimation of parameters is crucial. Generally, parameters are changed due to system deterioration or sudden environmental alterations. Given the limitations of system monitoring unstable controls can arise. In the following paper, the parameter estimation method is proposed using software filters to combat these system instabilities. For dynamic instances, a powerful particle filter is used to control the nonlinear and noisy environments in which they take place. Using a setup simulation comprised of a slider and pendulum, the state variable of noise is obtained. After collecting the data, the proposed algorithm is used to estimate both the state variable and its parameters. Finally, these results are checked with correct parameter estimations to evaluate and verify the algorithms performance.

This paper presents comparison results of Step Response Model of Dynamic Matrix Control(DMC) for a drum-type boiler-turbine system of a fossil power plant. Two possible kinds of step response models are investigated in designing the DMC, one is developed with the linearization of theoretical model and the other is developed with the process step-test data. Then, the control performances of each model-based DMC are simulated and evaluated. It is observed that the simulation results with the step-response model based on the test data show satisfactory results, while the linearized model is not suitable for the control of boiler-turbine system.

광학시 비접촉 미소 변위 계측 장치의 응용예는 앞서 소개한 응용 외에도 여러 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있다. 즉, 주행 중인 차량 바퀴의 얼라이먼트(alignment) 계측에 이용되기도 하며, 파괴 역학 분야에서 크랙 개구단부(COD)의 변위량 측정에도 이용되며, 충격 역학 분야에서는 변위의 출력 응답 특성이 경시적으로 대단히 복잡하게 변하는 동적 파괴 현상의 원인 규명의 목적으 로도 많이 활용되고 있다. 더욱이 눈부신 발전을 거듭하고 있는 재료 요소 기술 및 센서 기술의 도움으로 앞으로는 이러한 비접촉식 미소 변위 측정 시스템이 보다 더욱 다양하게 사용되어질 것으로 기대되며, 또한 점차 성능 및 가격적 측면에서도 고성능의 계측 시스템을 손쉽게 큰 부 담이 없이 구입 가능할 수 있으리라 믿는다. 그러나 한편으로는 고정도의 물리량의 계측은 꼭 최신의 고가의 장비로만 되는 것이 아니라는 점과, 이러한 계측 시스템의 활용 시에는 기본 검출 원리 및 특성의 이해와 더불어 각 시험 경우에 따른 측정치에 대한 검증 작업을 게을리 하지 말아야 된다는 점도 아울러 당부하고자 한다.
