In this paper, a numerical procedure for the calculation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a generalized nonorthogonal body fitted coordinate system is proposed and is validated through three test problems. Present numerical procedure derives the pressure equation by using the pressure substitution method on the regular grid system, and discretized momentum equations are based on the covariant velocity components. Cavity flow, backward facing step flow, and two dimensional channel flow with a sinusoidal wavy wall are chosen as three test problems. Numerical solutions obtained by present procedure shows a good agreement with previous numerical and/or experimental results. Convergence rate is also satisfactory.

The radar measurements are composed of range, Doppler and angles which are expressed as polar-coordinate components. An approach to match the measurements with the states of target dynamics which are modeled in cartesian coordinates is to use the pseudo-measurements or the extended Kalman filter in order to solve the mismatching problem. Another approach is that the states of dynamics are modeled in polar coordinates and measurement equation is linear. However, this approach bears that we have to deal with a time-varying dynamics. In this study, it is proposed that the states of dynamics are expressed as polar-coordinate component and the system matrix of the dynamic equation is modeled as a time-invariant. Nonlinear terms that appear due to the proposed modeling are regarded as a system input. The results of a series of simulation runs indicate that the tracking filter that uses the proposed modeling is viable from the fact that the Doppler measurement is easy to be augmented in the measurement equation.

The Dual Contouring method has an advantage over the primal polygonization methods like the Marching Cube method in terms of better expression of sharp features. In this paper, the Dual Contouring method is implemented in Spherical coordinates, not the Cartesian ones to examine some characteristics. For this purpose, our octree is defined in Spherical coordinates, which is called "S-Octree". Among some characteristics, the proposed Dual Contouring method in the S-Octree tends to produce less vertices at the same octree level. In particular, for any surface models close to surface sphere, the generated mesh surfaces are smoother and more detailed than those of the Cartesian Dual Contouring approach for specific applications including mesh compression where available geometric information is quite limited.

A general purpose program, TURBO-3D, for the analysis of 3-D fluid flow in complex geometry has been developed, which employs a standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model and a general nonorthogonal grid system. For the purpose of verification of the program and testing the applicability, turbulent flows in an S-shaped diffuser and turbulent flows over an backward facing step are solved and compared with the earlier results. Comparison with the results by the STAR-CD program has been also made for the same flow configuration and grid structure. The agreements are excellent and hence the program has been verified. Since the present program is applicable only on limited flow phenomena and lacks the pre-and post processor, further improvements toward these directions are being made.

교호사주의 기본적인 특성 중에서 하안 침식과 사행의 발달을 일으키는 기본적인 요소인 사주의 이동 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 사행에 따른 사주의 이동특성을 파악하였다. 본 2차원 수치모형의 특징으로는 직교좌표계를 변환하여, 하천의 형상에 적합하도록 일반좌표계를 사용하였으며, 하천의 만곡부에서 2차원 흐름특성을 계산하고, 하상변동을 모의하여 사주의 거동을 모의하였다. 사행수로의 사행파장과 하폭의 비가 사주의 이동특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였으며, Kinoshita와 Miwa(1974)에 의해 제시된 한계세굴각과 비교하였으며, 잘 일치하였다. 그 결과로는 사행하천에서 사행의 각도가 클수록 강한 강제효과(forcing effect)에 의해 사주의 이동이 정지되었다. 하폭이 클수록 사주의 이동에 대한 강제효과가 적어 이동한계각이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, two discretization methods, hybrid and QUICK, are tested for the Navier-Stokes equations written in general nonorthogonal body fitted coordinates. Comparison is made by calculating two laminar flows at low Reynolds numbers of 10 - 100. One is a two-dimensional channel of gradually expanding cross section and the other is an axisymmetric flow through a circular tube having a circular constriction. Results show that the QUICK scheme results in a numerical solution more accurate than that of hybrid. The QUICK scheme also shows faster convergence for both test cases. As the number of grid points increases, all numerical solutions converge with more oscillation. The number of grid points in the y-direction(cross stream direction) is also shown to play a significant role in the approximation of convection term within separated flow zone.

We developed a general purpose program for the analysis of flows in the combustor with recirculating flow regime and simulated the flows. The program uses non-staggered grids based on finite volume method and the primitive variables are cartesian velocities. The combustion model is irreversible one step reaction with infinite chemistry The Favre averaged governing equations are considered and the clipped gaussian distribution is considered as a probability density function of the conserved scalar. We calculated turbulent diffusion flame with recirculating flow regime. Simulation shows two recirculating regions like experimental results. Velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, temperature and concentration distribution in simulation agree well with experimental data.

차량에 부착된 회전식 레이저 스캐너는 360도로 회전하면서 데이터를 취득하기 때문에 고정식 레이저 스캐너에 비해 더 광범위하고 정확한 3차원 데이터를 획득하고 생성할 수 있다. 그러나 레이저 데이터 자료는 표적까지의 거리와 취득 당시의 스캐너의 각도로만 구성되어있기 때문에 이를 사용하기 위해서 이 데이터들을 일련의 좌표변환과정을 거쳐서 3차원 직교좌표계로 변환시킨다. 이 논문의 목적은 회전식 레이저에서 획득된 데이터를 DEM화하고，DEM영상의 밝기값， 즉 높이값을 이용하여 도로변을 주위의 사물과 분리하여 추출하는 것에 있다. 도로면은 일반적으로 주위의 사물에 비해 그 높이가 낮고 고르게 분포되어 있다고 가정한다. 그렇기 때문에 이 도로면의 높이를 대표할 수 있는 적절한 임계값을 찾을 수 있다면 도로면의 분리 또한 가능하다. 도로면의 추출을 위해 제안된 방법은 취득된 레이저 데이터를 일정 간격의 높이로 나누고 그에 대한 히스토그램을 구한 후, 가장 많은 빈도수를 나타낸 지역의 값을 염계치로 설정하는 방법과，레이저 스캐너가 지표면을 향할 때의 각도，즉 270도 일 때 취득된 거리의 값들을 수집한 후, 그 평균값을 임계치로 설정하는 방법이다. 이렇게 구해진 임계치를 이용 그 값보다 작은 지역을 도로로 인식하였으며，실험 결과 레이저 스캐너의 각도를 이용한 방법이 더욱 효과적으로 도로를 추출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present paper describes the optimum inverse design of 2-D linear cascade airfoil. The pressure coefficient of an airfoil surface is taken as the objective function, and non-orthogonal incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is applied to calculate the pressure coefficient. Both of steepest descent and conjugate gradient method have been used to make the objective function go to zero. The 1st order finite differential method is applied to the searching direction and the golden section method is used to compute the searching distance. As a result of the present work, a good convergence to the target airfoil has been obtained.

A general purpose program NUFLEX for the analysis 3-D thermo/fluid flow and pre/post processor in complex geometry has been developed, which consists of a flow solver based on FVM and GUI based pre/post processor. The solver employs a general non-orthogonal grid system with structured grid and solves laminar and turbulent flows with standard/RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. In addition, NUFLEX is incorporated with various physical models, such as interfacial tracking, cavitation, MHD, melting/solidification and spray models. For the purpose of evaluation of the program and testing the applicability, many actual problems are solved and compared with the available data. Comparison of the results with that by STAR-CD or FLUENT program has been also made for the same flow configuration and grid structure to test the validity of NUFLEX.
