  • The purpose of this paper is to propose a numerical algorithm for the problem of coefficient identification of the scalar wave equation based on a local observation on the boundary: Determine the unknown coefficient function with the knowledge of simultaneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary values on a part of boundary. To find the unknown coefficient function, the unknown Neumann boundary value is also identified. We recast our inverse problem to variational problem. The gradient method is applied to find the minimizing functions. We confirm the effectiveness of our algorithm by numerical experiments.

  • Based on the scalar wave equation of optical fibers, the dispersion characteristics of arbitrarily profiled fibers were analyzed. We used the I-D FEM employing quadratic interpolation fucntions to solve the scalar wave equation. We simulated the DC optical fibers as objects, and searched for the refractive index distribution to minimize the total dispersion. In DC fibers, we found the design parameters for which the total dispersion was almost zero at $\lambda=1.3{\mu}m and 1.55{\mu}m$ simultaneously. We also found the design parameters where the dispersion was flattened, less than 1.0 ps/km.nm for$\lambda=1.4~1.7{\mu}m$1. and the dispersion was as low as 0.65 ps/km.nm at $\lambda=1.55{\mu}m$..

  • Much computing time and large computer memory are needed to solve the wave equation in a large complex subsurface layer using finite difference method. The time and memory can be reduced by decreasing the number of grid per minimun wave length. However, decrease of grid may cause numerical dispersion and poor accuracy. In this study, we present 49 points weighted average method which save the computing time and memory and improve the accuracy. This method applies a new weighted average to the coordinate determined by transforming the coordinate of conventional 5 points finite difference stars to $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$, 25 points finite differenc stars to $0^{\circ}$, $26.56^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $63.44^{\circ}$ and 49 finite difference stars to $0^{\circ}$, $18.43^{\circ}$, $33.69^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $56.30^{\circ}$, $71.56^{\circ}$. By this method, the grid points per minimum wave length can be reduced to 2.5, the computing time to $(2.5/13)^3$, and the required core memory to $(2.5/13)^4$ computing with the conventional method.

  • Typical Tonpilz type underwater acoustic transducers making use of piezoelectric ceramics detect the magnitude of an acoustic pressure, a scalar quantity, and convert this pressure into a proportional output voltage. The scalar sensor has no directional sensitivity. In this paper, we have proposed a new vector sensor based on the Tonpilz transducer structure, which is sensitive to both the magnitude and the azimuthal direction of an acoustic wave. Validity of this new design has been confirmed with analytic equations and finite element analyses.

  • On the framework of a linearly perturbed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker spacetime, we derive an expression for the cosmological angular diameter distance affected by scalar and tensor perturbations. Our expression is applicable in linear order to distances in general FRW models. We study the effect of a stocastic gravitaional wave background on the two-point correlation function of the angular diameter distance fluctuations and, on the basis of this we also derive an expression for the power spectrum of the angular diameter distance fluctuations.

  • For the propagation of elastic waves in unbounded domains, absorbing boundary conditions at the fictitious numerical boundaries have been proposed. Paraxial boundary conditions(PBCs) which are kinds of absorbing boundary conditions based on paraxial approximations of the scalar and elastic wave equations not only lead to well-posed problem but also are stable and computationally inexpensive. But the complex mathematical forms of PBCs with partial derivatives complicate the application of those to finite element analysis. In this paper a penalty functional is newly proposed for applying PBCs into finite element analysis and the existence and uniqueness of the extremum of the proposed functional is demonstrated. The numerical verification of the efficiency is carried out through comparing PBCs with a viscous boundary condition.

  • This paper presents the design and evaluation of the optical system for an uncooled thermal-imaging camera. The operating wavelength range of this system is from $7.7{\mu}m$ to $12.8{\mu}m$. Through optimization, we have obtained a LWIR (Long Wave Infrared) optical system with a focal length of 5.44 mm, which consists of four aspheric surfaces and two diffractive surfaces. The f-number of the optical system is F/1.2, and its field of view is $90^{\circ}{\times}67.5^{\circ}$. The hybrid lens was used to balance the higher-order aberrations, and its diffraction properties were evaluated by scalar diffraction theory. We calculated the polychromatic integrated diffraction efficiency, and the MTF drop generated by background noise. We have evaluated the thermal compensation of a LWIR fixed optical system, which is optically passively athermalized to maintain MTF performance in the focal depth. In conclusion, these design results are useful for an uncooled thermal-imaging camera.

  • A two-dimensional depth-integrated hydrodynamic and a depth-averaged passive scalar transport models were developed by using a Compact Finite Volume Method (CFVM) which can assure a higher order accuracy. A typical wave current interaction experimental data set was compared with the computed results by the proposed CFVM model, and resonable agreements were observed from the comparisons. One and two dimensional scalar advection tests were conducted, and very close agreements were observed with very little numerical diffusion. Finally, a turbulent mixing simulation was done in an open channel flow, and a reasonable similarity with LES data was observed.

  • A turbulent combustion model, based on edge flame dynamics, is discussed in order to predict global extinction of turbulent flames. The model is applicable to the broken flamelet regime of turbulent combustion, in which global extinction of turbulent flame is achieved by gradual expansion of flame holes. The edge flame dynamics is the key mechanism to describe the flame hole expansion or contraction. For flames with Lewis numbers near unity, there is a $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number, namely the crossover $Damk{\ddot{o}}hler$ number, at which edge flame changes its direction of propagation. The parametric region between the quasi-steady extinction condition and the edge-flame crossover condition is a metastable region, in that flames without edge can stay in their burning states while flames with edge have to retract to expand quenching holes. Using the above properties of edge flame, Hartley and Dold proposed a Lagrangian hole dynamics, which allows us to simulate transient variation of quenching holes. In their model, each stoichiometric surface is subjected to a random sequence of scalar dissipation rate compatible to the equilibrium turbulence. Then, each stoichiometric surface will evolve, according to the combustion map, dependent on the scalar dissipation rate and existence of flame edge, If all the burning surfaces are annihilated, the event can be declared as a global extinction. The consequence obtained from the above model also can be used as a subgrid model to determine local extinction occurring in a calculation grid.
