A common problem of the model simulations of the land surface - atmosphere interaction is to choose the appropriate spatial scale and resolution at which the simulations are to be performed. The accuracy of energy and water exchange predictions between the land surface and the atmosphere in regional and global scale atmospheric models is mainly influenced by: model simplifications applied to describe the spatial heterogeneity of land surface properties within individual grid cells; ignoring the variability of sub-grid properties (e.g. relief, vegetation, soils), and; lacks of necessary input meteorological and biophysical data.(omitted)

A technique for calculating the additive drag of the inlet in supersonic flow was studied using commercial CFD software, STAR-CCM+, which provides a efficient way of 3 dimensional flow analysis with polyhedron-shaped grid system. Three configurations were chosen and applied to the calculation with various flow conditions of two different free stream Mach No. and some mass flow ratios. Comparisons with results from wind tunnel test gave good agreements. Though computation were carried out with the inviscid and compressible flow around the supersonic inlet for the supercritical condition, ignoring the viscous effects is concluded to give little effects on the accuracy of the additive drag calculation and to make the calculation more efficient owing to less effort and time consumed for grid system build-up and for iteration because of less grid number and simpler boundary condition.

High speed circuit breakers(HSCB) interrupt the generated arc within the arc chute to turn off the electricity flowing through the main circuit to prevent ground faults. In order to explore the arc generated from the contactor operation, arc definition, establishment of arc interruption method, and analysis of magnetic driving force are required. In this paper, arc interruption capability has been estimated by exploring the difference in magnetic flux density of Lorenz forces using finite element analysis. In addition, since the number of grids and changes in the grid shape within the arc chute influence the formation of the inner magnetic field, its effects have been explored to enhance arc interruption capability. Assessment of interruption capability and analysis of grid shape, with rated operating current, are reported.

A lot of work has been done to improve the I/O performance of such a system that store and manage a massive amount of data by distributing them across multiple disks and access them in parallel. Most of the previous work has focused on an efficient mapping from a grid ceil, which is determined bY the interval number of each dimension, to a disk number on the assumption that each dimension is split into disjoint intervals such that entire data space is GRID-like partitioned. However, they have ignored the effects of a GRID partitioning scheme on declustering performance. In this paper, we enhance the performance of mapping function based declustering algorithms by applying a good GRID par-titioning method. For this, we propose an estimation model to count the number of grid cells intersected by a range query and apply a GRID partitioning scheme which minimizes query result size among the possible schemes. While it is common to do binary partition for high-dimensional data, we choose less number of dimensions than needed for binary partition and split several times along that dimensions so that we can reduce the number of grid cells touched by a query. Several experimental results show that the proposed estimation model gives accuracy within 0.5% error ratio regardless of query size and dimension. We can also improve the performance of declustering algorithm based on mapping function, called Kronecker Sequence, which has been known to be the best among the mapping functions for high-dimensional data, up to 23 times by applying an efficient GRID partitioning scheme.

In this research the development of unstructured grid discretization solution techniques is presented. The purpose is to describe such a conservative discretization scheme applied for experimental validation work. The objective of this paper is to better establish the effects of mesh generation techniques on velocity fields and particle deposition patterns to determine the optimal aerodynamic characteristics. In order to achieve the objective, the mesh surface discretization approaches used the VLA prototype manufacturing tolerance zone of the outer surface. There were 3 schemes for this discretization study implementation. They are solver validation, grid convergence study and surface tolerance study. A solver validation work was implemented for the simple 2D and 3D model to get the optimum solver for the VLA model. A grid convergence study was also conducted with a different growth factor and cell spacing, the amount of mesh can be controlled. With several amount of mesh we can get the converged amount of mesh compared to experimental data. The density around surface model can be calculated by controlling the number of element in every important and sensitive surface area of the model. The solver validation work result provided the optimum solver to employ in the VLA model analysis calculation. The convergence study approach result indicated that the aerodynamic trend characteristic was captured smooth enough compared with the experimental data. During the surface tolerance scheme, it could catch the aerodynamics data of the experiment data. The discretization studies made the validation work more efficient way to achieve the purpose of this paper.

In an experiment using chest radiography, the authors measured the scattered ray content ratio and exposed skin dose giving varieties to the object thickness, tube voltage, additional filters and gird. The result was as follows, In the 80 kV the required mAs for the density 1.8 was $10{\sim}20$ times as much as in the 140 kV, and when 10 : 1 grid was used the required mAs was $3{\sim}5$ times as much as when grid was not used. Under the same tube voltage the scattered ray content ratios were increased as the additional filter thickness became thicker. And when 10 : 1 grid was used the ratio could be decreased $2{\sim}5$ times as much as when grid was not used. Skin doses exposed to the patients were increasing as the thickness of the object became thicker, and were decreasing as filters became thicker while showing slow the decreasing effects above the 1/8 VL. And when the grid was used skin doses were increased $2{\sim}4$ times as much as when not used. In order to improve the image qualities while reducing the exposures in the chest radiography, the authors suggest followings. The additional filters up to the 1/2 VL will be suitable according to the thickness of the objects in the 80kv, while the 10 : 1 grid and additional filter of 1/8 VL will be suitable in the 140 kV.

A numerical study was carried out to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics of the supersonic grid fins installed on SpaceX Falcon 9. The unit-grid-fin concept was utilized for more efficient and simpler 3-D steady flow calculations. Pre- and post-correction processes that accounted the interference effects by the angle of attack of the missile, the influences of the outer frame of the grid fin and the connecting rods were improved in the study, and it was demonstrated that the present correction method was more accurate as compared to previous studies. Finally, the present approach was applied to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics in transonic/supersonic flights of SpaceX Falcon 9 with various angle of attacks.

In radiography, an antiscatter grid is a well-known device for eliminating unexpected x-ray scatter. We investigate a new stationary grid artifact suppression method based on a nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) incorporated with Gaussian band-pass filtering. The proposed method has an advantage that extracts the Moiré components while minimizing the loss of image information and apply the prior information of Moiré component positions in multi-decomposition sub-band images. We implemented the proposed algorithm and performed a simulation and an experiment to demonstrate its viability. We did this experiment using an x-ray tube (M-113T, Varian, focal spot size: 0.1 mm), a flat-panel detector (ROSE-M Sensor, Aspenstate, pixel dimension: 3032 × 3800 pixels, pixel size: 0.076 mm), and carbon graphite-interspaced grids (JPI Healthcare, 18 cm × 24 cm, line density: 103 LP/inch and 150 LP/inch, ratio: 5:1, focal distance: 65 cm). Our results indicate that the proposed method successfully suppressed grid artifacts by reducing them without either reducing the spatial resolution or causing negative side effects. Consequently, we anticipate that the proposed method can improve image acquisition in a stationary grid x-ray system as well as in extended x-ray imaging.

This paper describes the flow field analysis of an automobile with crosswind effects of 15°, 30° 45° and 60° of yaw angles. The governing equations of the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the iterative time marching scheme. The Chimera grid technique has been applied to efficiently simulate the flow around the side-view mirror. The computated surface pressure coefficients have been compared with experimental results and a good agreement has been achieved. The A- and C-pillar vortex and other flow phenomena around the ground vehicle are evidently shown. The variation of aerodynamic coefficients of drag, lift, side force and moments with respect to yaw angle is systematically studied.

Considerable research was done to study the fatigue behavior of the reinforced concrete bridge deck which is strengthened by carbon fiber. The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the fatigue behavior and strengthening effects of the strengthened bridge deck with grid type carbon fiber plastic. The results of this study show that the displacement and the total released energy of strengthening of bridge deck are greater than the case of unstrengthened bridge deck. By strengthening of bridge deck, applied load is so distributed on whole deck member that crack concentration is efficiently controled.
