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.

Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that solves partial differential equations which represent fluid flows by a set of algebraic equations using computers. Even though it requires multifarious variables, only selected ones are stored because of the lack of storage capacity. It causes the requirement of secondary variable calculations at analyzing time. In this paper, we suggest an efficient method to estimate optimal calculation paths for secondary variables. First, we suggest a converting technique from a dependency graph to a ordinary directed graph. We also suggest a technique to find the shortest path from any initial variables to target variables. We applied our method to a tool for data analysis and visualization to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method.

It is essential to consider the effect of blade deformation in order to design a better tidal stream turbine being operated in off-design condition. Flow load causes deformation on the blade, and the deformation affects the turbine performance. In the present study, CFD analysis procedures were developed to predict open water performance of horizontal axis tidal stream turbine (HATST). The developed procedures were verified by comparing the results with existing experimental results. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis method, based on the verified CFD procedure, have been carried out to estimate the turbine performance for a turbine with flexible composite blades, and then the results were compared with those for rigid blades.

Surrogate models have been used for the rapid estimation of six-DOF aerodynamic coefficients in the context of the design and control of a missile. For this end, we may generate highly accurate surrogate models with a multitude of aerodynamic data obtained from wind tunnel tests (WTTs); however, this approach is time-consuming and expensive. Thus, we aim to swiftly predict aerodynamic coefficients via co-Kriging using a few WTT data along with plenty of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. To demonstrate the excellence of co-Kriging models based on both WTT and CFD data, we first generated two surrogate models: co-Kriging models with CFD data and Kriging models without the CFD data. Afterwards, we carried out numerical validation and examined predictive trends to compare the two different surrogate models. As a result, we found that the co-Kriging models produced more accurate aerodynamic coefficients than the Kriging models thanks to the assistance of CFD data.

In this paper, the characteristics of cable logging operations are discussed from a standpoint of mechanics. An example of standing skyline operations is used to illustrate the mechanical principles. Using force and moment boundary conditions, the maximum allowable payload was formulated as a function of slope profile, system geometry and operation options. This formulation includes fundamental equations for log drag and single segment mechanics. The catenary link model is the basic assumption in simulating cable segment stretches. In order to demonstrate the solution procedures of the formulation, a computer model was developed. The model uses Secant algorithm to determine the solution of the complex nonlinear equation set. Finally, the computer model was demonstrated using a hypothetical data set.

본 논문에서는 구조물 연결부의 실시간 손상 검색을 통해 이상이 감지되었을 경우 자가치유까지 가능한 지능형 볼트접합부 시스템에 관한 실험적 연구결과가 제시되었다. 지능형 센서인 PZT센서의 전기-역학적 커플링 특성을 이용한 전기역학적 임피던스 기반의 구조물 건전성 평가 방법이 사용되었다. 전기역학적 임피던스의 측정을 통한 계측값을 베이스라인 값과 비교하는 손상 평가를 통해 구조물 볼트접합부의 볼트풀림 손상을 진단하고, 손상은 손상지수 RMSD를 통하여 정량화되었다. 볼트접합부의 손상이 감지되었을 경우 형상기억합금(SMA) 와셔에 부착되어있는 히팅 필름에 전원을 가함으로써 형상기억합금에 열을 가하고, 가열된 형상기억합금 와셔는 축방향으로 팽창을 함으로써 잃었던 볼트의 토크력을 회복시켜주었다. 실험 결과, 제안된 전기역학적 임피던스 기반의 구조물 건전성 평가기법과 형상기억합금 와셔 기반의 볼트접합부 자가치유 시스템의 성능 평가와 검증이 이루어졌다.

Hydrogen embrittlement in metals has been a serious issue with regard to structural safety. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the aggregation of hydrogen atoms at the crack tips suppresses the dislocation emission and thus results in cleavage fracture. A series of molecular dynamics simulations were performed considering factors such as the concentration of hydrogen atoms, loading rate, and diffusion coefficient. We investigated the conditions that minimize hydrogen embrittlement. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental results and used to quantify hydrogen embrittlement.

The physicochemical properties of clay minerals have been investigated at the atomistic to nano scale. The microscopic studies are often challenging to perform by using experimental approaches alone. In particular, hydroxyl groups of octahedral sheets in 2:1 clay minerals have been hypothesized to impact the sorption process of metal cations; however, X-ray based techniques alone, a common tool for mineral structure examination, cannot properly test the hypothesis. The current study has examined whether computational mineralogy techniques can be applied to examine the hydroxyl structures of clay minerals. Based on quantum-mechanics and molecular-mechanics computational methods, geometry optimizations were carried out for representative dioctahedral and trioctahedral phyllosilicate minerals. Both methods well reproduced the experimental lattice parameters; however, for structural distortion occurring in the tetrahedral or octahedral sheets, molecular mechanics showed significant deviations from experimental data. The orientation angle of the hydroxyl with respect to (001) basal plane is determined by the balance of repulsion between the hydroxyl proton and Si cations of tetrahedral sites; the quantum-mechanics method predicted $25-26^{\circ}$ for the angle, whereas the angle predicted by the molecular-mechanics method was much higher by $10^{\circ}$ (i.e., $35^{\circ}$). These results demonstrate that computational mineralogy techniques are a reliable tool for clay mineral studies and can be used to further elucidate the roles of hydroxyls in metal sorption process.
