A fishing simulator for towed fishing gear was investigated in order to mimic the fish behavior in capture process and investigate fishing selectivity. A fish behavior model using a psycho-hydraulic wheel activated by stimuli is established to introduce Lorenz chaos equations and a neural network system and to generate the components of realistic fish capture processes. The fish positions within the specified gear geometry are calculated from normalized intensities of the stimuli of the fishing gear components or neighboring fish and then these are related to the sensitivities and the abilities of the fish. This study is applied to four different towed gears i.e. a bottom trawl, a midwater trawl, a two-boat seine, and an anchovy boat seine and for 17 fish species as mainly caught. The Alpha cluster computer system and Fortran MPI (Message-Passing Interface) parallel programming were used for rapid calculation and mass data processing in this chaotic behavior model. The results of the simulation can be represented as animation of fish movements in relation to fishing gear using Open-GL and C graphic programming and catch data as well as selectivity analysis. The results of this simulator mimicked closely the field studies of the same gears and can therefore be used in further study of fishing gear design, predicting selectivity and indoor training systems.

This paper presents the propagation characteristics from ingested sources in human body using the human model simulator. The simulator applies the FDTD method to the human data consisting of the human CAD and tissue data. After the accuracy of the simulator is verified, the received fields at one horizontal layer including the small intestine among the digestive organs are calculated in case that the electric field source is implanted in the center of the small intestine. The human propagation characteristics are illustrated by calculating the path loss per unit length according to various received positions from the simulated results.

This paper describes analysis of risk voltage for grounding electrode where earth leakage current is injected. To assess risk voltage of grounding electrode, the grounding simulator and CDEGS program were used to obtain measured data and theoretical results of this study. The grounding simulator was composed of a hemispherical water tank, AC power supply, a movable potentiometer, and test grounding electrodes. The shapes of grounding electrode model was ground rod. The potential rise was measured by grounding simulator, and the touch and step voltages were computed by CDEGS program. As a consequence, the potential rise of ground rod abruptly decreases with increasing the distance from the grounding electrode to the point to be tested. The touch voltage above the ground rod was low, but the step voltage was high. The measured results were compared with the computer calculated data and were known in good agreement.

In this study, we focused on developing and verifying ship collision avoidance algorithms using Unity simulator and ROS(Robot Operating System). ROS is used to establish an environment where communication between different operating systems is possible, and a dynamic model of a ship is constructed within Unity simulator. The Lidar data collected in Unity environment is passed to the system based on python through ROS. In the system based on python, control command values were created through the logic of the collision avoidance algorithm using data, and the values were transferred back to Unity to control the movement of the virtual ship. Through the developed simulation system, the reliability of the collision avoidance algorithm of ships with two different forms in an environment similar to the actual physical world was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed on the simulator that it could be avoided without collision even in an environment with various types of obstacles, and that the avoidance characteristics according to the dynamics of the ship could be analyzed.

This paper presents an operator training simulator for power system restoration against massive black-out. The system is designed especially focused on the generality and convenient setting up for initial condition of simulation. The former is accomplished by using on line calculation methodology, and PSS/E data is used to define the initial situation. The proposed simulator consists of three major components - the Power flow(PF) module, data conversion(CONV) module and CUI subsystem. PF module calculates power flow, and then checks overvoltage of buses and overflow of lines. CONV module composes an Y-Bus array and a data base at each restoration action. The initial Y-Bus array is constructed from PSS/E data. The user friendly GUI module is developed including graphic editor and built-in operation manual. As a result, the maximum processing time for one step operation is 15 seconds, which is adequate for training purpose. Comparison with PSS/E simulation proves the accuracy and reliability of the training system.

This study proposes an articulated robot control system using an on/off-line robot graphic simulator with multiple networks. The proposed robot control system consists of a robot simulator using OpenGL, a robot controller based on a DSP(TMS320) motion board, and the server/client communication by multiple networks. Each client can control the real robot through a server and can compare the real robot motion with the virtual robot motion in the simulation. Also, all clients can check and analyze the robot motion simultaneously through the motion image and data of the real robot. In order to show the validity of the presented system, we present an experimental result for a 6-axis vertical articulated robot. The proposed robot control system is useful, especially, in the industrial fields using remote robot control as well as industrial production automation with many clients.

The domestic development status of Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) simulator which is based on fluid model is explained. As each part which composes the unified simulator, electron heating module, charged and neutral particle transport module, surface reaction module including a sheath model, and GUI (Graphic User Interface) with pre- and post-processors are described in order. Also, we present data base status of chemical reaction and physical collision, which has been applied to the recently developed simulator until now. Lastly, some future plans of development are suggested.

This paper presents a closed-loop evaluation of the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system using a vehicle simulator. Human driver-VSC interactions have been investigated under realistic operating conditions in the laboratory. Braking control inputs for vehicle stability enhancement have been directly derived from the sliding control law based on vehicle planar motion equations with differential braking. A driving simulator has been validated using actual vehicle driving test data. Real-time human-in-the loop simulation results in realistic driving situations have shown that the proposed controller reduces driving effort and enhances vehicle stability.

Objective Wave reflection is an important factor that determines the shape of the pulse wave. The purpose of this study is to compare the conventional method used for estimating the reflection site of pulse with a cardiovascular simulator. Methods: In this study, cardiovascular simulator with one elastic tube was used. The pressure and flow was measured simultaneously at three different points. The measured data were used to the conventional methods to estimate the pulse wave reflection site. The results were compared with the known length which were the distances from the measured points to the end of tube. Results & Conclusions: There is a significant error with the time domain method. While, the reflection site with the frequency domain method was similar to the actual reflection site.

GPSS(Graphic-based Power System Simulator) had been introduced before in an ex-thesis. GPSS is a Power System Simulator that is designed to provide friendly and highly interactive Graphic User Interface (GUI). In this Paper, GPSS was improved not for the education or the test, but as the instrument for a large-scale systematic analysis. To limit the difference between a theory and practical affairs, we reformed and added a lot of functions to the GPSS. And we have verified the real-systematic data.
