An automobile engine has the Positive Crankcase Ventilation system (PCV system) for preventing air pollution as the environmental problem is important In this system, a PCV valve is the most important component to control the flow rate of Blowby gas which is generated by various engine powers. But, in the working place, the design of a PCV valve is very difficult because of interaction between fluid and solid motions. In this study, we investigated fluid flow characteristics using re-meshing method of a CFD technique to simulate spool behavior. As the results, a spool is periodically oscillated with time and is largely oscillated in proportion to the differential pressure between inlet and outlet. And, although the velocity at the orifice increases with the differential pressure, the flow rate of the outlet decreases. This research may give PCV designers visual flow information to help them

Over the past decade, major advances have occurred in both understanding and practice with regard to assessment and mitigation of hazard area associated with seismically induced soil liquefaction. In this paper, assessment of liquefaction resistance of soil are reviewed from the recent researches. In addition site characteristics investigation methods and tests for seismic design and liquefaction analysis are reviewed. Finally, introduction and characteristics of remedial measures against soil liquefaction are reviewed briefly.

Three-dimensional flow over the sand dunes have been studied numerically by using Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) method. In the direction of initial flow and span direction cyclic boundary conditions are imposed for velocity and pressure. The movement of the sand dune which is formed by converging wind direction has been investigated. The numerical method employed in this study can be divided into three parts: (i) calculation of the air flow over the sand dune using standard MAC method with a generalized coordinate system; (ii) estimation of the sand transfer caused by the flow through the friction; (iii) determination of the shape of the sand surface. Since the computational area has been changed due to step (iii), (i)-(iii) are repeated. The simulated dune, which has initially elliptic cross section, extends at the converging direction, which is known as linear dunes.

The main goal of this paper is to simulate a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), which is similar to a real system. Wind velocity data is applied to a 2D Lookup table as a speed reference for a turbine model. A real electric machine's parameters are put in the simulator to get some results of the real system. The Matlab have been generally used to simulate DFIG, but it has some differences from the real system and is difficult to implement. A Simplorer simulator, however, simplifies DFIG simulation. The turbine is directly connected with the DFIG to be close to the real system. The machine's rotor is excited and controlled by the discrete carrier modulated matrix converter. It is possible to retrieve important information, like a generated power and wind quality etc., from the simulator without a huge wind turbine.

The neural network method has been introduced to design a controller for linear motor feed system and system operation status was monitored. It is most difficult to achieve controller gain tuning because of the information limit. Regardless of the system structure, conventional control gain could be adjusted minimizing the resulting error for both position and velocity using the proposed method. Slight performance deterioration was observed at the small value of training epoch. Different controller performance for position was observed with respect changed sampling time. Actuated system performance was monitored using neural network signal processing and operational status was predicted with the rate of 80% approximately.

Landslides can be caused by localized intense rainfall. The loss of human lives and damage to property from landslides is increasing. However, little information exists on the movement and flow of sediment material at the time of rapid landslides. In this study, a field survey was conducted of landslides that occurred in 2013 in the Hadari area of Yeoju city in Korea. This was followed by numerical analysis. The purpose is to analyze the characteristics of a consequent debris flow and its movement at the time of failure. The results of the field survey and numerical analysis are consistent with each other. The maximum velocity of the debris flow was ~9.335 m/s and the maximum sediment thickness ~4.674 m. The latter is similar to the traces of debris flow observed in the field.

In this paper, a real-time collision avoidance algorithm is proposed for experimental Autonomous Vehicle(XAV). To ensure real-time implementation, a virtual potential field is calculated in one dimensional space. The attractive force is generated by the steering command either transmitted in the remote control station or calculated in the Autonomous Navigation System(ANS) of the XAV. The repulsive force is generated by obstacle information obtained from Laser Range Finder(LRF) mounted on the XAV. Using these attractive and repulsive forces, modified steering, velocity and emergency stop commands are created to avoid obstacles and follow a planned path. The suggested algorithm is inserted as one component in the XAV system. Through various real experiments and technical demonstration using the XAV, the usefulness and practicality of the proposed algorithm are verified.

A new tower internal, which is called CSE, is presented. The CSE is composed of a nozzle perforated in its bottom along the entire periphery and equipped with a multi vane axial swirler at the inlet and hollow cylindrical separator at the outlet of the nozzle. According to the experimental work for obtaining the necessary hydraulic information of the CSE, which is used for preliminary design of a separation column, the CSE showed a stable operation over the wide rage of gas/liquid ratio. However, it caused large pressure drop due to the high gas velocity which should carry liquid droplets through the element. The high pressure drop may cause problems in energy recovery and the application of the CSE can be limited to the high pressure columns. Assuming that the tray efficiency of the CSE is the same with the existing separation columns, the results of the column design showed the size reduction of the column diameters by 30 to $40\%$ and investment cost saving, depending on operating conditions. The application of the CSE to separation column may also contribute to the de-bottlenecking the existing column.

This paper presents an analysis of wind velocity measurements obtained from four ultrasonic anemometers arranged in a vertical formation. The anemometers were located in a rural environment with a view to providing detailed information on the flow statistics of the lower part of the atmospheric boundary layer, particularly for the extreme wind events that are important in loading calculations. The data is analysed using both conventional analysis and conditional sampling. The latter is combined with wavelet analysis in order to provide a detailed analysis of the energy/frequency relationship of the extreme events. The work presented in this paper suggests that on average the extreme events occur as a result of the superposition of two independent mechanisms - large scale events that scale on the atmospheric boundary layer thickness and small scale events a few tens of metres in size.

This paper presents a new method of kinematic modeling for autonomous bicycle by using the differential motion transformation. Kinematic model is indispensable to trajectory planning and control for an autonomous mobile robot. The conventional methods of kinematic modeling for an autonomous bicycle depend on intuition by geometry. On the contrary, the proposed method in this paper is based on the systematic differential motion transformation, thus applicable to various types of autonomous bicycles. The differential motion transformation gives Jacobian between two coordinate frames and the velocity kinematics as a result.
