In this paper, doubly-fed induction-type wind power generation system simulation model for grid connection is developed. The simulation model is based on PSCAD/EMTDC and consists of rotor-blade, generator, power converter and controller. Simulation results are shown for the variable wind speed conditions. The simulation model can be utilized for study of actual interaction between wind turbine and grid for reliable operation and protection of power system.

In this paper, doubly-fed induction-type wind power generation system simulation model for grid connection is developed. The simulation model is based on PSCAD/EMTDC and consists of rotor-blade, blade controller, generator power converter and generator controller Blade controller controls the blade pitch angle for starting, peak power limiting and emergency condition. Generator controller controls the generator output power to maximize the system efficiency. Simulation results are shown for the variable wind speed conditions. The simulation model can be utilized for study of actual interaction between wind turbine and grid for reliable operation and protection of power system.

With the rapid development of microgrid technology, microgrid projects are no longer limited to laboratory demonstrations and pilot platforms. It shows greater value in practical applications. Hence, the smooth interaction between a microgrid and the main grid plays a critical role. In this paper, a control method based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed in order to realize seamless transitions between grid-connected and islanding operation modes and stable operation with variable loads. It is verified by simulations that the proposed ADRC-based method features better performance when compared to conventional proportional-integral-differential (PID) control. Meanwhile, the stability of the third-order extended state observer (ESO) in second-order ADRC is validated by using Lyapunov stability criteria.

This paper proposes a novel method that couples fluid and deformation/fracture. Our method considers two interaction types: fluid-object interaction and fluid-fluid interaction. In fluid-fluid interaction, we simulate water and smoke separately and blend their velocities in the intersecting region depend on their densities. Our method separates projection process into two steps for each of water and smoke. This reduces the number of grid cells required for projection in order to optimize the number of iterations for convergence and improve stability of the simulation. In water projection step, smoke region regarded as the cells with Dirichlet boundary condition. The smoke projection step solves water region with Neumann boundary condition. To take care of fluid-object interaction, we make use of the fluid pressure to update velocities of the each of the mass points so that the object can deform or fracture. Although our method doesn't provide physically accurate results, the various examples show that our method generate appealing visuals with good performance.

The aim of this paper is to study the interaction between adjacent buildings with different foundation levels under earthquake loading conditions. Buildings and soil are represented by two different models. In the first case, the building itself is modeled with standard frame elements, whereas the soil behavior is simulated by a special grid model, In the second case, the building and soil are represented by plane stress or plane strain elements. The modulus of elasticity of the ground as well as the varying relations of inertia have a strong influence on the section forces within the buildings. The interaction between the two buildings is demonstrated and discussed via numerical examples using the proposed method.

A particle method recognized as one of the gridless methods has been developed to investigate the nonlinear free-surface motions interacting to the structures. The method is more feasible and effective than convectional grid methods for solving the non-linear free-surface motion with complicated boundary shapes. The right-handed side of the governing equations for incompressible fluid, which includes gradient, viscous and external force terms, can be replaced by the particle interaction models. In the present study, the developed method is applied to the dam-broken problem on dried- and wet-floor and its adequacy will be discussed by the comparison with the experimental results.

The interaction of a travelling shock with the shear layer of a flat plate is studied computationally. The Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically on quadrilateral unstructured adaptive grids. The flat plate is installed horizontally on the central axis of a shock tube. The shear layer is first created by two shock waves at different speeds splitted by a flat plate. A series of small vortices is developed as a consequence in the shear layer. The shock wave reflected at the end wall impinges the shear layer. The complicated shock dynamics in the evolution to the pseudo-steady state is represented with the morphological transformation of a planar shock into an oblique shock.

A tornado changes its wind speed and direction rapidly; therefore, it is difficult to study the effects of a tornado on buildings in a wind tunnel. The status of the tornado-structure interaction and various models of the tornado wind field found in literature are surveyed. Three dimensional computer modeling work using the turbulence model based on large eddy simulation is presented. The effect of a tornado on a cubic building is considered for this study. The Navier-Stokes (NS) equations are approximated by finite difference method, and solved by an semi-implicit procedure. The force coefficients are plotted in time to study the effect of the Rankine combined vortex model. The tornado is made to translate at a $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ angle, and the grid resolution is refined. Some flow visualizations are also reported to understand the flow behavior around the cube.

The LES-based level-set flamelet model has been applied to analyze the turbulent propane/air premixed bluff-body flame with a highly wrinkled flame fronts. The present study has been motivated to investigate the interaction between the flame front and turbulent eddies. Special emphasis is given to study the effect of G equation filtering treatment on the precise structure of turbulent premixed flames as well as the effect of sub-grid scale (SGS) eddies on the wrinkling of the flame surface. The level-set/flamelet model has been adopted to account for the effect of turbulence-flame interaction as well as to properly capture the flame front. Numerical results indicate that the present LES-based level-set flamelet approach has a capability to realistically simulate the highly non-stationary turbulent premixed flame.
