This paper proposes a method to calculate the characteristics of a coupled hydrodynamic journal and thrust bearing of a HDD spindle motor. The governing equations for the journal and thrust bearings are the two dimensional Reynolds equations in ${\theta}z$ and $r\theta$ planes, respectively. Finite element method is appropriately applied to analyze the coupled journal and thrust bearing by satisfying the continuity of mass and pressure at the interface between the journal and thrust bearings. The pressure in a coupled bearing is calculated by applying the Reynolds boundary condition and compared with that by using the Half-Sommerfeld boundary condition. The static characteristics are obtained by integrating the pressure along the fluid film. The flying height of spindle motor is measured to verify the proposed analytical result. This research shows that the proposed method can describe HDB in a HDD system more accurately and realistically than the separate analysis of a journal or thrust bearing.

This paper discusses effect of solid mass inventory on the hydrodynamic characteristics of circulating fluidized bed(CFB). Operating parameters of solid mass inventory and air flow rates were varied to understand their effects on fludization pattern. Experimental measurements were made in a CFB of which height and diameter are 3m and 0.05m respectively. Black SiC particles ranging from $100{\mu}m\;to\;500{\mu}m$ were employed as the bed material. Superficial gas velocity of riser and J-valve fluidizing velocity were in the ranges of $1.39{\sim}3.24m/s\;and\;0.139{\sim}0.232m/s$, respectively. The axial solid fraction and solid circulation rate of CFB were calculated based on the experimental data and compared with modellings through IEA-CFBC Model and commercial CFD code.

A bubble trapped in the liquid manifold of INTELSAT IV F-7 spacecraft caused a mass imbalance between the System 1 propellant tanks and a wobble half angle of 0.38 degree to 0.48 degree. A maneuver on May 14, 1980 passed the bubble through the axial jet and allowed propellant to redistribute. A 0.2 rpm change in sin rate was observed with an exponential decay time constant of 6 minutes. In this paper, moment of inertia, tank geometry and hydrodynamic models are derived to match the observed spin rate data. The values of the total mass of propellant considered were 16, 19 and 20 kgs with corresponding mass imbalances of 14.3, 15 and 15.1 Kgs, respectively. The result shows excellent agreement with observed spin rate data but it was necessary to assume a greater mass of hydrazine in the tanks than propellant accounting indicated.

A gas giant formed in a massive protoplanetary disk via gravitational instability migrates inward due to its gravitational interaction with the disk. Planet migration occurs in various ways depending on the disk structure and internal processes, but previous studies only considered quantitative radiative feedback resulting from mass accretion onto the planet. Allowing for accretion feedback, we perform three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations with GIZMO to investigate orbital evolution of giant planets in a protoplanetary subject to -cooling. This work shows a planet gains mass due to accretion and gradually opens a gap as it moves inward. The migration in the end halts when the planet clears the gas around its orbit. A more massive planet grows its mass faster and migrates more rapidly, stalling at an orbit farther away from the protostar. Models with a cold disk readily construct a circumplanetary disk and result in high mass growth of the planet. Accretion feedback, in general, reduces the rate of the planet growth and delays migration. We discuss our results with GIZMO in comparison with the previous results with different codes.

Recent submillimeter observations of ALMA reveal that many protoplanetary disks contain substructures like gaps or rings. The disk-planet interaction is believed to be the most likely gap formation scenario, and most previous numerical work attempted to constrain the planet mass using the density profiles of gas in the gaps. Since the dust and gas distributions likely differ from each other in protoplanetary disks, however, perturbed rotational velocities that directly probe the gas would give a more reliable estimate to the planet mass. In this work, we run two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations to measure the amplitudes and widths of rotational velocity perturbations induced by planets with different mass. We present the parametric relations of the gap widths and depths as functions of the planet mass and disk properties. We also apply our relations to HD 163296 to infer the masses of embedded planets.

In this study, a radiation and a diffraction problems of a floating body in two-layer fluids were solved by the Numerical Wave Tank(NWT) technique in the frequency domain. In two-layer fluids, two different wave modes exist and the hydrodynamic coefficients can be obtained separately for each mode. The two-domain Boundary Element Method(BEM) in the potential fluid using the whole-domain matrix scheme was used to investigate the characteristics of wave forces, added mass and damping coefficients. The effects of the ratio of density and water depth in the lower domain were also evaluated and compared with given references.

This paper presents theoretical formulations and numerical computations for predicting first-and second-order hydrodynamic force on a ship advvancing in waves. The theoretical formulation leads to linearized radiation and diffration problems solving the three-dimensional Green function integral equations over the mean wetted body surface. Green function representing a translating and pulsating source potantial for infinite water depth is used. In order to solve integral equations for three dimentional flows using Green function efficiently, the Hoff's method is adopted for numerical calculation of the Green function. Based on the first-order solution, the mean seconder-order forces and moments are obtained by directly integrating second-order pressure over the mean wetted body surface. The calculated items are carried out for analyzing the seakeeping characteristics of Series 60. The calculated items are hydrodynamic coefficients, wave exciting forces, frequency response functions and addd resistance in waves.

Dynamic behavior of flexible rectangular liquid storage structures is analysed by the developed method. The rectangular liquid storage structures are assumed to be fixed to the ground and a moving coordinate system is used. The irrotational motion of invicid and incompressible ideal fluid is represented by two analytic solutions. One is the solution of the fluid motion in the rigid rectangular liquid storage structure due to ground motions and the other is the solution of the fluid motion by the motion of the wall in the flexible rectangular liquid storage structure. The motion of structure is modeled by finite elements. The fluid-structure interaction effect is reflected into the coupled equation of motion as added fluid mass matrix. The free surface sloshing motion and hydrodynamic pressure acting on the wall in the flexible rectangular liquid storage structure due to the horizontal ground motion are obtained by the developed method and verified.

Dynamic response analysis are conducted for a floating bridge subjected to multiple support earthquake excitation. The floating bridge used in this study is supported by discrete floating pontoons and horizontal pretension cables supported at both ends of the bridge. The bridge is modeled with finite elements and the hydrodynamic added mass and added damping due to the surrounding fluid around pontoons are obtained using boundary elements. Multiple support excitation is introduced at both ends of the bridge and the time history response is compared to that of a simultaneous excitation. The results shows that the differences between two results are not so large except for cable tension for which the multiple support excitation yields larger values. During the analysis the concept of retardation function is utilized to consider the frequency dependency of the hydrodynamic coefficients.

The service reliability of power plants strongly depends on the excellent performance and integrity of hydrodynamic bearings. Consequently, the bearings must be properly designed so as to control vibration amplitudes of rotor due to mass unbalance in passing critical speeds and also suppress self-excited vibrations of rotor even over maximum rated speeds. Furthermore, the bearings must be designed so as to maintain required tribological performance even under severe operating conditions. However, various tribological troubles have been experienced in power plants in Japan. The actual troubles are analysed, focusing on not only direct mechanical causes but also specific bearing designs that surfaced the troubles. Furthermore human factors that decided such designs are also studied. The powerful database of troubles and analyses will contribute greatly to designing advanced power plants with enhanced service reliability in the future. To this end, trouble information should be disclosed, shared and transferred limitlessly. Cooperation of users of power plants is essential to making more advanced design specifications, because no one has easier access to operating and trouble information of power plants than users.
