A comparison between sea trial measurements and full-scale CFD results is presented for two self-propelled ships. Two ships considered in the present study are: a general cargo carrier at Froude number $F_n=0:182$ and a car carrier at $F_n=0:254$. For the general cargo carrier, the propeller rotation rate is fixed and the achieved speed and trim are compared to sea trials, while for the car carrier, the propeller rotation rate is adjusted to achieve the 80% MCR. In addition, three grids are used for each ship in order to assess the grid refinement sensitivity. All simulations are performed using the Naval Hydro pack based on foam-extend, a community driven fork of the OpenFOAM software. The results demonstrate the possibility of using high-fidelity numerical methods to directly calculate ship scale flow characteristics, including the effects of free surface, non-linearity, turbulence and the interaction between propeller, hull and the flow field.

Kinetic simulations have been performed on an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Fusion (IECF) device. These simulations were performed using the particle-in-cell (PIC) method to analyze the behavior of ions in an IEC device and the effects of some parameters on the Confinement Time (CT). CT is an essential factor that significantly contributes to the IEC's performance as a nuclear fusion device. Using the PIC method, the geometry of a two-grided device with variable grid radius, the number of cathode grid rings, variable pressure and different dielectric thickness for the feed stalk was simulated. In this research, with the development of previous works, the interaction of particles was simulated and compared with previous results. The simulation results are in good agreement with the previous results. In these simulations, it was found that with the increase of the dielectric thickness of the feed stalk, the electric field was weakened and as a result, the confinement time was reduced. On the other hand, with the increase of the cathode radius, the confinement time increased. Using the results, an IEC device can be designed with higher efficiency and more optimal CT for ions.

A projectile that passes through a shock wave experiences drastic changes in the aerodynamic forces. These sudden changes in the forces are attributed to the wave structures produced by the projectile-shock wave interaction. A computational study using moving grid method is performed to analyze the effect of the projectile-shock wave interaction. Cylindrical and conical projectiles have been employed to study such interactions. This sort of unsteady interaction normally takes place in overtaking blast flow fields. It is found that the overall effect of overtaking a blast wave on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics is hardly affected by the projectile configurations. However, it is noticed that the projectile configurations do affect the unsteady flow structures and hence the drag coefficient for the conical projectile shows considerable variation from that of the cylindrical projectile. The projectile aerodynamic characteristics, when it interacts with the secondary shock wave, are analyzed. It is also observed that the change in the characteristics of the secondary shock wave during the interaction is different for different projectile configurations.

Post-genomic 시대에 접어들면서 단백질의 기능의 주석이 중요한 문제로 떠오르기 시작하였다. 이런 단백질 기능을 예측하기 위해 단백질 상호작용(Protein-Protein interaction) 데이터를 이용한 방법들이 지난 10여 년간 발표되어왔다. 단백질 상호작용(Protein-Protein interaction) 데이터는 단백질들 간의 서열 등의 특징을 이용해 상호간의 연결 관련성이 있는 단백질끼리의 관계를 네트워크로 나타낸 자료이다. 현재 이러한 단백질 상호작용(Protein-Protein interaction) 데이터들은 MIPS, DIP, BioGrid등 약 5~6군데에서 제공되고 있다. 각각의 데이터는 다른 형식을 가지고 있고, 중복되는 정보도 포함하고 있다. 여러 연구 방법에서 데이터를 사용할 때 한군데에서만 추출하기 보다는 여러 데이터에서 추출하는 경우가 많기 때문에 다른 형식의 데이터를 이용하는데 불필요한 수고가 들어가게 된다. 때문에 여러군데의 데이터를 한 가지 형식으로 맞추어 통합적으로 구축하여 연구 시 데이터 사용에 용이하도록 설계 하였다. 또한 발표된 단백질 기능 예측 방법에 대한 정리를 통해 앞으로의 연구를 하는데 있어서 필요한 자료를 얻고 열람할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이를 통해 관련 연구를 하거나 관심이 있는 사람들의 데이터를 검색하는데 많은 도움이 될 것이다.

The aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft winglet with structural deformation was investigated using the static FSI(Fluid-Structure Interaction) system. The system, comprised of CAD, CFD, CSD, VSI, and grid regeneration modules, was constructed. In the process VSI, grid regeneration, and integration modules were developed to combine CSD and CFD modules. As a test model, KC-135A, the double winglet suggested by Whitcomb, was selected and its aerodynamic characteristics for the rigid and deformable models was calculated by applying the static FSI system. As a result, the lift and drag coefficients of test models were reduced to 11% and 1.3%, respectively.

The viscous interaction of stern wave is studied by simulating the free-surface flows, including sub-breaking phenomena around a high speed catamaran hull advancing on calm water. The Navier-Stokes equation is solved by a finite difference method where the body-fitted coordinate system, the wall function and the triple-grid system are invoked. The numerical appearance of the sub-breaking waves is qualitatively supported by the experimental observation They are also applied to study precisely on the stern flow of S-103 as to which extensive experimental data are available. For the catamaran, computations are carried out for the mono ana twin hulls.

In this study, the unsteady flow field induced by a high-speed train passing through a tunnel is numerically simulated by using an axi-symmetric Euler Equation. The modified patched grid scheme applied to a structured grid system was used to handle the relative motion of a train. The hybrid-dimensional approach which mixed 1D and axi-symmetric dimension was used to reduce the computation time and memory storage. By employing the hybrid-dimensional approach, a long tunnel as much as 5 km was able to be simulated efficiently. The results show that the maximum pressure rise in the tunnel by the entrance of the train is a function of both train speed and train-tunnel cross-sectional area ratio. The unsteady pressure fluctuation in the tunnel and around the train was also investigated in the real condition; Korean high-speed train on the Seoul-Pusan line.

This paper describes a numerical study to make clear the characteristics of flow around a high speed catamaran hull advancing on calm water. The simulation is carried out at Froude number of 0.5 with a separation to length rations of 0.2 to 0.5. To simulate the flows, the Navier-Stokes solver is employed in which the free surface condition is included. Computations are performed in a rectangular grid system based grid system based on the Marker & Cell method. For the validation, the computation results are compared with the experiments.

In this paper, numerical results for 3-D supersonic turbine flow have been firstly compared with the experimental results to verify results computed by $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$. It was found that $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$ can accurately predict flow characteristics within supersonic turbine. Next, an grid system for 3D turbine flow was optimized selected through grid independency test. Finally, the effect of axial gap between rotor and nozzle and chamfer angle of blade edge on the flow characteristics within 3-D supersonic turbine was analyzed with Frozen Rotor method.

Two-dimensional lid-driven closed flows within square cavity were studied numerically for four Reynolds numbers : $10^4$, 3$\times10^4$, 5$\times10^4$ and 7.5$\times10^4$. A convective difference scheme to maintain the same spatial accurary by irregular grid correction is adopted by applying the interior division principle. Grid number is $80\times80$and its minimum size is about 1/400 of the cavity height. At Re=$10^4$, periodic migration of small eddies appearing in corner separation region and its temporal sinusoidal fluctuation are represented. At three higher Reynolds numbers(3$\times10^4$, 5$\times10^4$ and 7.5$\times10^4$), an organizing structure of four consecutive vorticles at two lower corners is revealed from time-mean flow patterns. But, instantaneous flow characteristics show very random unsteady fluctuation mainly due to the interaction between rotating shed vortices and stationary eddies within the corners.
