  • The main objective of this study is to investigate the turning and zig-zag maneuvering performance of the well-known naval surface combatant DTMB (David Taylor Model Basin) 5415 hull with URANS (Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) method. Numerical simulations of static drift tests have been performed by a commercial RANS solver based on a finite volume method (FVM) in an unsteady manner. The fluid flow is considered as 3-D, incompressible and fully turbulent. Hydrodynamic analyses have been carried out for a fixed Froude number 0.28. During the analyses, the free surface effects have been taken into account using VOF (Volume of Fluid) method and the hull is considered as fixed. First, the code has been validated with the available experimental data in literature. After validation, static drift, static rudder and drift and rudder tests have been simulated. The forces and moments acting on the hull have been computed with URANS approach. Numerical results have been applied to determine the hydrodynamic maneuvering coefficients, such as, velocity terms and rudder terms. The acceleration, angular velocity and cross-coupled terms have been taken from the available experimental data. A computer program has been developed to apply a fast maneuvering simulation technique. Abkowitz's non-linear mathematical model has been used to calculate the forces and moment acting on the hull during the maneuvering motion. Euler method on the other hand has been applied to solve the simultaneous differential equations. Turning and zig-zag maneuvering simulations have been carried out and the maneuvering characteristics have been determined and the numerical simulation results have been compared with the available data in literature. In addition, viscous effects have been investigated using Eulerian approach for several static drift cases.

  • To study the large displacement and large rotation problems, geometrically nonlinear formulation of eccentric degenerated beam element has been developed, where the restrictions of infinitesimal rotation increments are removed and the incremental equations are derived using the Taylor series expansion of the displacement function at time t+dt. The geometrically nonlinear analyses are carried out for the cases of cantilever, square frame, shallow arch and 45-degree bend beam and all of them are compared with each of the other results published. The element developed in the present research can be efficiently utilized for analysis of the nonlinear behaviours of structures when displacements and rotations are large.

  • In this paper, and estimation method for estimating the states of underwater vehicle systems with external unknown disturbance is proposed. First, the dynamics of underwater vehicle are induced by Taylor series expansion in the vertical plane and horizontal plane, respectively. For constructing the system model, the external efforts, i.e., the sea surface disturbances, the current, wave and etc., are regarded as external unknown disturbances. Thus the disturbance is added as external input into state-space form of underwater vehicle system. To estimate the state of systems with unknown disturbance, a disturbance observer which does not effected the external unknown input is proposed, and the existence condition for the observer is given. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed disturbance observer for robust control of underwater vehicle systems is verified by using numerical simulation.

  • A time-domain simulation tool to predict the dynamic power output of wind turbines in an offshore wind farm was developed in this study. A wind turbine model consisting of first or second order transfer functions of various wind turbine elements was combined with the Ainslie's eddy viscosity wake model to construct the simulation tool. The wind turbine model also includes an aerodynamic model that is a look up table of power and thrust coefficients with respect to the tip speed ratio and pitch angle of the wind turbine obtained by a commercial multi-body dynamics simulation tool. The wake model includes algorithms of superposition of multiple wakes and propagation based on Taylor's frozen turbulence assumption. Torque and pitch control algorithms were implemented in the simulation tool to perform max-Cp and power regulation control of the wind turbines. The simulation tool calculates wind speeds in the two-dimensional domain of the wind farm at the hub height of the wind turbines and yields power outputs from individual wind turbines. The NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was targeted as a wind turbine to obtain parameters for the simulation. To validate the simulation tool, a Danish offshore wind farm with 80 wind turbines was modelled and used to predict the power from the wind farm. A comparison of the prediction with the measured values available in literature showed that the results from the simulation program were fairly close to the measured results in literature except when the wind turbines are congruent with the wind direction.

  • 최근 기후변화의 영향에 따라 강수량과 증발산량이 변하는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 그에 따라 유출량도 변하고 있다. 따라서 기후변화가 수자원에 미치는 영향도 커지고 있으며, 댐 유역의 유출량 산정은 홍수나 용수의 확보측면에서 중요시 되고 있다. 탱크모형은 일본의 Sugawara가 1961년 처음 개발한 모형으로 유역을 오리피스 유출공을 가진 저류형 수조의 조합으로 가정하여 유량을 산정하는 유출모형으로 매개변수가 많고, 이들을 시행착오로 결정해야 하기 때문에 숙련된 경험이 요구되는 단점이 있으나 계산법이 명확하고 수문현상을 잘 재현한다는 장점이 있다. 탱크에는 강수량, 유출량, 그리고 증발량과 같은 입력 자료가 필요하며, 정확한 실제 증발산량 값을 알기는 어렵기 때문에 물수지를 이용해 증발산량을 계산하여 사용하고 있지만 유출량 미계측 지역에서는 사용이 어렵다. 그러므로 태양복사에너지, 온도, 바람, 기압, 습도와 같은 기상학적 인자에 따라서 잠재증발량을 산정하여 탱크 모형의 입력 자료로 사용한다면, 유출량자료가 없는 유역에서도 탱크모형을 사용하여 유출량을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 섬진강댐유역과 합천댐유역의 유출량 산정을 위해 잠재 증발산량 산정식(Penman, FAO P-M, Makkink, Preistley-Taylor, Hargreaves)을 적용하여 Tank 모형 매개변수들의 민감도분석을 수행하였다. 섬진강댐은 전북 임실군 강진면 옥정리와 정읍시 산내면 종성리 사이에 있으며, 유역면적은 $763km^2$, 댐 높이는 64m, 제방길이 344.2m 댐으로 매개변수 민감도 분석 적용기간은 1975년~1992년이다. 합천댐은 경상남도 합천군 대병면 회양리에 있는 댐으로 높이 96m, 길이 472m, 유역면적 $925km^2$의 다목적 댐이며, 매개변수 민감도 분석 적용기간은 1989년~1999년이다.

  • Turbulent Couette flow between coaxial cylinders with inner one rotating has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The radius ratio of the coaxial cylinders is 0.43. Mean velocity and turbulent stresses have been measured by hot-wire anemometer in the range of Reynolds number based on the velocity at rotating wall and the radial distance between walls, 60,900-187,000. For the numerical computation, the Reynolds stress model has been used as a turbulence closure model. Measurements of mean velocity show that the velocity profile of wall layer largely deviates from universal logarithmic law due to the effect of streamline curvature, especially in the region near the stationary outer cylinder. The results computed with the Reynolds stress model agree well with the experimental data in the prediction of circumferential intensity of turbulent fluctuations. However, the computed level of radial intensity is much higher than the measurement. Curvature-corrected versions of the Reynolds stress model improves the prediction of turbulent intensities, but the results are not fully satisfactory.

  • The downlink performance of distributed antenna systems (DAS) with antennas selection is investigated in Rayleigh fading multicell environment, and the corresponding system capacity and bit error rate (BER) analysis are presented. Based on the moment generating function, the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the effective signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the system are first derived, respectively. Then, with the available CDF and PDF, the accurate closed-form expressions of average channel capacity and average BER are further derived for exact performance evaluation. To simplify the expression, a simple closed-form approximate expression of average channel capacity is obtained by means of Taylor series expansion, with the performance results close to the accurate expression. Besides, the system outage capacity is analyzed, and an accurate closed-form expression of outage capacity probability is derived. These theoretical expressions can provide good performance evaluation for DAS downlink. It can be shown by simulation that the theoretical analysis and simulation are consistent, and DAS with antenna selection outperforms that with conventional blanket transmission. Moreover, the system performance can be effectively improved as the number of receive antennas increases.

  • Objective : Balloon cells and dysplastic neurons are histopathological hallmarks of the cortical tubers of tuberous sclerosis complex [TSC] and focal cortical dysplasia [FCD] of the Taylor type. They are believed to be the epileptogenic substrate and cause therapeutic drug resistant epilepsy in man. P-glycoprotein [P-gp] is the product of multidrug resistance gene [MDR1], and it maintains intracellular drug concentration at a relatively low level. The authors investigated expression of P-gp in balloon cells and dysplastic neurons of cortical tubers in patients with TSC. Methods : An immunohistochemical study using the primary antibody for P-gp, as an indicative of drug resistance, was performed in the cortical tuber tissues in two patients of surgical resection for epilepsy and six autopsy cases. Results : Balloon cells of each lesion showed different intensity and number in P-gp immunopositivity. P-gp immunopositivity in balloon cells were 28.2%, and dysplastic neurons were 22.7%. These immunoreactivities were more prominent in balloon cells distributed in the subpial region than deeper region of the cortical tubers. Capillary endothelial cells within the cortical tubers also showed P-gp immunopositivity. Conclusion : In this study, the drug resistance protein P-glycoprotein in balloon cells and dysplastic neurons might explain medically refractory epilepsy in TSC.
