This paper represents a numerical study of the flow field due to the interactions between a pair of vortices produced by vortex generators in a rectangular channel flow. In order to analyze longitudinal vortices induced by the vortex generators, the pseudo-compressibility method is introduced into the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Strokes equations of a 3-dimensional unsteady, incompressible viscous flow. A two-layer $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model is applied to a flat plate 3-dimensional turbulence boundary to predict the flow structure and turbulence characteristics of the vortices. The computational results predict accurately the vortex characteristics related to the flow field, the Reynolds shear stresses and turbulent kinetic energy. Also, in the prediction of skin friction characteristics the computational results are reasonably close to those of the experiment obtained from other researchers.

The objective of this study is to apply preconditioning to Wavier-Stokes equations with a turbulence model. The concept of a pseudo sonic speed was adopted. Roe's FDS was used for spatial discretization, LU-SGS scheme was used for time integration. In order to test the algorithms, the low speed flows around NACA airfoils and the flows through supersonic nozzle were calculated. The algorithm developed in the present study shows good performance in the calculations of low speed viscous flows and supersonics flows.

In order to develop a one-axis gimbaled acoustic source tracker for mobile robots, a pseudo-linear direction of arrival(DOA) estimator is proposed using a linear ultrasonic sensor array. Under the assumption that the sensor measurement errors are negligible, a linear measurement model is derived using the linear prediction relation of the received sinusoidal acoustic signals. Applying the Kalman filtering technique for this model, the linear recursive DOA estimator is designed. For its linear recursive filter structure, it is preferable for real-time implementation on a commercial DSP. Through the experiments, the effectiveness of the suggested method is demonstrated.

The purpose of the thesis is to develop simulation program for forecasting of optical connector. So we can achieve the time and the money saving for making the optical connector. Optical performance (insertion loss) of optical connector mainly relies on 3 misalignment factors-ferrule factor due to mis-manufacture from design, auto-centering effect that is fiber behavior phenomena between hole and fiber, fiber misalignment factor. Simulation use experimental data with auto-centering effect and fiber factor and use pseudo data with ferrule through random number generation because it is developing stage. In this study we a, pp.y kernel density estimation method with experimental data in order to know whether it belong to or not specific parametric distribution family. And we simulate to forecast insertion loss of optical multifiber connector under specific design model using nonparametric bootstrap resampling data and parametric pseudo samples from uniform distribution. We obtain the tolerance specifications of misalignment factors satisfying not exceed in maximum 1.0dB and choose optimal hole diameter.

The governing equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates for a 3D pulsatile flow are the Incompressible Navier-Stokes (INS) equations with the artificial dissipative terms and continuity equation discretized using a second-order accurate, finite volume method on the nonstaggered computational grid. This method adopts a dual or pseudo time-stepping Artificial Compressibility (AC) method integrated in pseudo-time. The computational technique implements the implicit approximate factorization method of the Beam and Warming method (1978), which is the extension of the Alternate Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The algorithm yields practically identical velocity profiles and secondary flows that are in excellent overall agreement with an experimental measurement (Rindt & Steenhoven, 1991).

This article presents an integrated chassis control with electronic stability control (ESC) and active front steering (AFS) under saturation of front lateral tire force. Regardless of the use of AFS, the front lateral tire forces can be easily saturated. Under the saturated front lateral tire force, AFS cannot be effective to generate a control yaw moment needed for the integrated chassis control. In this paper, new integrated chassis control is proposed in order to limit the use of AFS in case the front lateral tire force is saturated. Weighed pseudo-inverse control allocation (WPCA) with variable weight is adopted to adaptively use the AFS. To check the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, simulation is performed on a vehicle simulation package, CarSim. From simulation, the proposed integrated chassis control is effective for vehicle stability control under saturated front lateral tire force.

In order to investigate functional groups on the surface of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) induced by oxyfluorination, XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) analysis was carried out. All core level spectra of MWCNTs were deconvoluted to several Pseudo-Voigt functions (sum of Gaussian-Lorentzian functions). Both O1s and F1s binding energy of oxyfluorinated MWCNTs shifted high value as increment of fluorine mixing ratio. The carbon-fluorine covalent bonding concentration increased as increment of fluorine mixing ratio. The shape and intensity of OF10-MWCNTs are similar with those of as-received MWCNTs. However, the intensity and binding energies of main peak position of OF20-MWCNTs and OF30-MWCNTs were dramatically increased by oxyfluorination.

This paper proposes an efficient beam-shell modeling technique for the free vibration analysis of a T-joint thin-walled beam structure. Except a small portion of a T-joint which is modeled by shell elements, the structure is modeled by thin-walled beam elements that can describe warping and distortion. In order to match the shell and thin-walled beam elements at the interface of the dissimilar elements, a technique based on a pseudo inverse matrix is formulated. This paper also examines the role of the thin-walled element taking into account the distortion and warping deformation degrees of freedom in predicting accurately the dynamic characteristics of a T-joint thin-walled structure.

This study presents new algorithm for generating octree by volume intersection with pseudo-octrees which are constructed for each orthogonal face views in order to represent 3D objects exactly. In this algorithm, optimal quadtree is constructed for depth images in which distance information is represented in gray level, and then pseudo-octrees are constructed by using optimal quadtree in each orthogonal face view. It is shown that 3D object with concave parts can be reconstructed exactly by our suggested algorithm, and that memory space and tree construction time are also reduced compared with other algorithms.
