The effects of steep and shallow hills on a stationary tornado-like vortex with a swirl ratio of 0.4 are simulated and quantified as Fractional Speed Up Ratios (FSUR) at three different locations of the vortex with respect to the crests of the hills. Steady state Reynolds Averaged Naiver Stokes (RANS) equations closed using Reynolds Stress Turbulence model are used to simulate stationary tornadoes. The tornado wind field obtained from the numerical simulations is first validated with previous experimental and numerical studies by comparing radial and tangential velocities, and ground static pressure. A modified fractional speed-up ratio (FSUR) evaluation technique, appropriate to the complexity of the tornadic flow, is then developed. The effects of the hill on the radial, tangential and vertical flow components are assessed. It is observed that the effect of the hill on the radial and vertical component of the flow is more pronounced, compared to the tangential component. Besides, the presence of the hill is also seen to relocate the center of tornadic flow. New FSUR values are produced for shallow and steep hills.

In this paper, we present the results of the wear analysis of journal bearings on a stripped-down single-cylinder engine during start-up and coast-down by motoring. We calculate journal bearing wear by using a modified specific wear rate considering the fractional film defect coefficient and load-sharing ratio for the asperity portion of a mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime coupled with previously presented graphical data of experimental lifetime linear wear in radial journal bearings. Based on the calculated wear depth, we obtain a new oil film thickness for every crank angle. By examination of the oil film thickness, we determine whether the oil film thickness at the wear scar region is in a mixed lubrication regime by comparing dimensionless oil film thickness, h/σ, to 3.0 at every crank angle. We present the lift-off speed and the crank angles involved with the wear calculation for bearings #1 and #2. The dimensionless oil film thickness, h/σ, illustrates whether the lubrication region between the two surfaces is still within the bounds of the mixed lubrication regime after scarring of the surface by wear. In addition, we present in tables the asperity contact pressure, the real minimum film thickness at the wear scar region, the modified specific wear rate, and the wear angle, α, for bearings #1 & #2. To show the real shape of the oil film at wear scar region, we depict the actual oil film thickness in graphs. We also tabulated the ranges of bearing angles related with wear scar. We present the wear volume for bearings #1 and #2 after one turn-on and turn-off of the engine ignition switch for five kinds of equivalent surface roughness. We show that the accumulated wear volume after a single turn-on and turn-off of an ignition switch normally increases with increasing surface roughness, with a few exceptions.

In the present investigation, a numerical model developed for the prediction of the wind flow over complex terrain is validated by comparing with the field experiments. For the solution of the Reynolds - Averaged Clavier- stokes equations which are the governing equations of the microscale atmospheric flow, the model is constructed based on the finite-volume formulation and the SIMPLEC pressure-correction algorithm for the hydrodynamic computation. The boundary- fitted coordinate system is employed for the detailed depiction of topography. The boundary conditions and the modified turbulence constants suitable for an atmospheric boundary- layer are applied together with the k- s turbulence model. The full- scale experiments of Cooper's Ridge, Kettles Hill and Askervein Hill are chosen as the validation cases . Comparisons of the mean flow field between the field measurements and the predicted results show good agreement. In the simulation of the wind flow over Askervein Hill , the numerical model predicts the three dimensional flow separation in the downslope of the hill including the blockage effect due to neighboring hills . Such a flow behavior has not been simulated by the theoretical predictions. Therefore, the present model may offer the most accurate prediction of flow behavior in the leeside of the hill among the existing theoretical and numerical predictions.

본 논문에서는 음성 신호가 가지고 있는 중요한 특성을 유지하면서 발음 속도만을 변화시키는 시간축 변환 방법을 범용 디지탈 신호 처리 프로세서를 이용하여 실시간으로 구현하였다. 음성 신호 시간축 변환은 음성 신호의 발음 속도만을 변화시키기 때문에, 입력 신호와 변환 신호간의 시간적 차이가 발생하여 실시간 처리가 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 입력, 변환 신호간의 시간차를 해결하기 위해서, 카세트 테이프 레코더의 모터 회전 속도를 조절하는 것과 같은 물리적 시간축 변환으로, 입력 음성 신호를 느리게 또는 빠르게 변환시켜 그 신호를 실시간 시스템의 입력으로 사용하였다. 카세트 레코더의 주행 속도만을 조절하는 물리적 변환은 원 신호의 피치 정보를 왜곡시켜, 원 음성의 특성을 변화시키기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 FIR 필터를 이용한 피치 보정 기법으로 왜곡된 신호를 원신호로 복원한 후, SOLA 시간축 변환 방법을 이용하여, 복원된 신호를 카세트 레코더의 모터 속도에 맞추어 시간축으로 변환하는 시스템을 실시간으로 구현하였다. 구현된 알고리듬으로 음성 신호를 시간축으로 변환하는 실험에서, 16비트 해상도를 가진 ADSP2101 프로세서로 구현한 결과와 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교할 때 평균 구간 신호 대 오차비가 대략 20dB로 두 결과가 거의 유사함을 알 수 있었다.
