Marine reactor systems experience platform movement, and therefore, the system thermal-hydraulic analysis code needs to reflect the motion effect on the fluid to evaluate reactor safety. A moving reactor model for MARS-KS was developed to simulate the hydrodynamic phenomena in the reactor under motion conditions; however, its applicability does not cover the MULTID component used in multidimensional flow analyses. In this study, a moving reactor model is implemented for the MULTID component to address the importance of multidimensional flow effects under dynamic motion. The concept of the volume connection is generalized to facilitate the handling of the junction of MULTID. Further, the accuracy in calculating the pressure head between volumes is enhanced to precisely evaluate the additional body force. Finally, the Coriolis force is modeled in the momentum equations in an acceleration form. The improvements are verified with conceptual problems; the modified model shows good agreement with the analytical solutions and the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation results. Moreover, a simplified gravity-driven injection is simulated, and the model is validated against a ship flooding experiment. Throughout the verifications and validations, the model showed that the modification was well implemented to determine the capability of multidimensional flow analysis under ocean conditions.

This paper studies the moment equations in the 2000 Canadian highway bridge code(CHBDC) for soil-steel box structures, which are applicable to the span less than 8m. Finite element analyses carried out for soil-steel box structures having spans of 3-12m using the deep corrugated steel plates under three construction stages; backfill up to the crown, backfill up to the cover depth, and live loading. The coefficients of moment equations are newly proposed based on the results of numerous finite element analyses considering various design variables, such as span length, soil depth, backfill conditions. The validity of the proposed coefficients in the moment equations of the 2000 CHBDC is investigated by the comparison with the existing coefficients and numerical results of finite element analyses. The comparisons show that the moments of the 2000 CHBDC give good predictions for the span less than 8m, but underestimate for the span greater than 8m, whereas the proposed moments give good estimates of numerical results for the spans of 3-12m.

An approach for composing a performance optimized computational code is suggested for latest microprocessors. The concept of the code optimization, called here as localization, is maximizing the utilization of the second level cache that is common to all the latest computer system, and minimizing the access to system main memory. In this study, the localized optimization of LU-SGS (Lower-Upper Symmetric Gauss-Seidel) code for the solution of fluid dynamic equations was carried out in three different levels and tested for several different microprocessor architectures most widely used in these days. The test results of localized optimization showed a remarkable performance gain up to 7.35 times faster solution, depending on the system, than the baseline algorithm for producing exactly the same solution on the same computer system.

This paper descrides on the economical design of apartment house. * The optimal problems are made by considering the objective function which minimize the construction cost of frame. * The object functions are taken as the codfficient equations of the cost function for a unit area. * Constraints are the design limits defined by the ultimate flexural strength, the ultimate shear strength. the minimum thickness, and the ratio of steel in accordance with ACI 318-89 Code. * Optimization is achieved by optimum nonlinear GINO(General interactive Optimizer)program. In design examples, it is compared with the optimum design results of apartment house and underground parking lot for structural systems.

Numerical simulation is performed to evaluate the conditional moment closure (CMC) models for spray development, ignition, and turbulent combustion for the Engine Combustion Network (ECN) test cases. The CMC model is implemented in the open source code, OpenFOAM, to provide conditional flame structures through the solution of Eulerian as well as Lagrangian conditional transport equations. In spite of more accurate treatment of the convective term, Eulerian CMC provides similar ignition delays and lift-off lengths with Lagrangian CMC.

In this research, newly proposed heat source equations were calculated to predict micro distortion of small structure in laser welding and compared with experimental results which were measured using laser speckle metrology. A finite element code, ABAQUS is used for the heat transfer analysis with a three-dimensional plane assumption. The results suggest that weld distortion is varied according to the heat source of the. laser beam.

The dynamic behaviors of a launcher under impulsive forces are analyzed. All the components of the system, ie ; chassis, turret, cage and suspension parts, are modeled as rigid. The dynamic analysis code, which is developed with the formulae describing the system equations of motion in terms of relative quantities, is used to carry out the analysis. The results show the dynamic responses of chassis and cage when the driving constraints are imposed on turret and cage.

Some efficient methods for solving the equations over GF($2^m$) are proposed in this paper. Using these algorithms, parallel decoder for a triple-error-correcting(31, 16) BCH code is implemented. By incorporating with ROM and PAL which are inserted in a decoder, the complex logic circuits can be substantially reduced and therefore a high speed decoder can be constructed.

A comparative study between a computation and an experiment has been conducted to predict the performance of a Pod type waterjet for cm amphibious wheeled vehicle. The Pod type waterjet has been chosen on the basis of the required specific speed of more than 2500. As the Pod type waterjet is an extreme type of axial flow type waterjet, theoretical as well as experimental works about Pod type waterjets are very rare. The main purpose of the present study is to validate and compare to the experimental results of the Pod type waterjet with the developed CFD in-house code based on the RANS equations. The developed code has been validated by comparing with the experimental results of the well-known turbine problem. The validation also extended to the flush type waterjet where the pressures along the duct surface and also velocities at nozzle area have been compared with experimental results. The Pod type waterjet has been designed and the performance of the designed waterjet system including duct, impeller and stator was analyzed by the previously mentioned m-house CFD Code. The pressure distributions and limiting streamlines on the blade surfaces were computed to confirm the performance of the designed waterjets. In addition, the torque and momentum were computed to find the entire efficiency and these were compared with the model test results. Measurements were taken of the flow rate at the nozzle exit, static pressure at the various sections along the duct and also the nozzle, revolution of the impeller, torque, thrust and towing forces at various advance speed's for the prediction of performance as well as for comparison with the computations. Based on these measurements, the performance was analyzed according to the ITTC96 standard analysis method. The full-scale effective and the delivered power of the wheeled vehicle were estimated for the prediction of the service speed. This paper emphasizes the confirmation of the ITTC96 analysis method and the developed analysis code for the design and analysis of the Pod type waterjet system.
