In this work we approximate the solution of initialboun-dary value problem using a Galerkin-finite element method for the spatial discretization and Implicit Runge-Kutta method for the spatial discretization and implicit Runge-Kutta methods for the time stepping. To deal with the nonlinear term f(x, t, u), we introduce the well-known extrapolation sheme which was used widely to prove the convergence in $L_2$-norm. We present computational results showing that the optimal order of convergence arising under $L_2$-norm will be preserved in $L_{\infty}$-norm.

A kinetic theory analysis is made of low-speed gas flows in a microfluidic system consisted of three microchannels in series. The Boitzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. For the evaluation of the present method results are compared with those from the DSMC method and an analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions. Calculations are made for flows at various Knudsen numbers and pressure ratios across the channel. The results compared well with those from the DSMC method. It is shown that the analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions which is suited fur fully developed flows can give relatively good results. In predicting the geometrically complex flows up to a Knudsen number of about 0.06. It is also shown that the present method can be used to analyze extremely low-speed flow fields for which the DSMC method is Impractical.

In this paper, we consider discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods with interior penalty term to approximate the solution of nonlinear parabolic problems with mixed boundary conditions. We construct the finite element spaces of the piecewise polynomials on which we define fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin approximations using the Crank-Nicolson method. To analyze the error estimates, we construct an appropriate projection which allows us to obtain the optimal order of a priori ${\ell}^{\infty}(L^2)$ error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin approximations in both spatial and temporal directions.

A floating bridge is an innovative solution for deep-water and long-distance crossing. This paper presents a curved floating bridge's dynamic behaviors under the wind, wave, and current loads. Since the present curved bridge need not have mooring lines, its deep-water application can be more straightforward than conventional straight floating bridges with mooring lines. We solve the coupled interaction among the bridge girders, pontoons, and columns in the time-domain and to consider various load combinations to evaluate each force's contribution to overall dynamic responses. Discrete pontoons are uniformly spaced, and the pontoon's hydrodynamic coefficients and excitation forces are computed in the frequency domain by using the potential-theory-based 3D diffraction/radiation program. In the successive time-domain simulation, the Cummins equation is used for solving the pontoon's dynamics, and the bridge girders and columns are modeled by the beam theory and finite element formulation. Then, all the components are fully coupled to solve the fully-coupled equation of motion. Subsequently, the wet natural frequencies for various bending modes are identified. Then, the time histories and spectra of the girder's dynamic responses are presented and systematically analyzed. The second-order difference-frequency wave force and slowly-varying wind force may significantly affect the girder's lateral responses through resonance if the bridge's lateral bending stiffness is not sufficient. On the other hand, the first-order wave-frequency forces play a crucial role in the vertical responses.

비압축성 점성 흐름을 수치해석하기 위한 효율적인 대각행렬화된 근사 인수분해(DAF) 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 압력에 근거한 인공압축성(AC) 기법을 이용하여 3차원 정상 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 계산한다. AC 형태로 변형된 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한차분법을 이용하여 공간에 대해서 이산화하였다. 이산화된 방정식계를 2차 정확도로 분할하기 위해서 본 연구에서 개발한 DAF 기법을 적용한다. 이 연구의 목적은 이 DAF 기법의 계산상 효율성을 검토하는 것이다. 만곡부를 갖는 사각형 덕트에서 완전히 발달한 층류 흐름과 발달하는 층류흐름 그리고 공동에서의 층류흐름에 대한 DAF 기법의 해석결과를 잘 알려진 4단계 Runge-Kutta(RK4)기법에 의한 해석해와 상대적으로 비교평가 하였다. 공간에 대해서 동일한 이산화기법을 이용하므로 동일한 격자상에서 계산된 DAF기법과 RK4기법의 해는 근본적으로 동일한 반면에, 이들 두기법의 계산상 효율성은 확연히 다른 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 DAF기법은 적용한 모든 흐름 문제에 대해서 RK4기법에 비해 최소 2배 이상 적은 계산 시간만을 필요로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 DAF 기법의 계산상 효율성은 계산용량의 추가나 프로그래밍의 추가적인 복잡함이 없이 확보된다.
