The simulation reproduced the unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on the train reported in the experiment.

Since the camber will improve the aerodynamic performance of Flapping Wing Nano Air Vehicles (FWNAVs), it is important to elucidate the passive mechanism of the cambering. The pixel wing model consisting of a structured mesh using shell elements that can simulate the camber deformation caused by the fluid–structure interaction has been proposed for the purpose of computational efficiency. In this study, the performance of the pixel wing model is evaluated as the pixel model resolution is changed. The minimum pixel model resolution is determined such that it can keep enough magnitude of camber compared to actual insects. Fur-thermore, it is found that the cambering of the pixel wing model can be effectively changed using the wing’s chord-wise flexural stiffness given by the root vein pixels and the thickness of the wing membrane pixels.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67362059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three-dimensional data visualization employing the CT and MRI techniques is widely used to understand the complex internal structure of the human body. However, the position and depth information often become unclear when three-dimensional data are rendered transparently. In this study, we aimed to improve the accuracy of the perceived 3D structure by introducing multiple iso-surfaces as a visual guide. For the purpose, we conducted psychophysical experiments. The experimental results suggest that multiple iso-surfaces improve the accuracy of the perceived depth. It was also found that the accuracy of perceived depth changes with the distance between the iso-surfaces.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67362166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2021, fuel debris samplings are planned to start as part of a step-by-step process at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. The dose rate of the fuel debris for safety treatments of the fuel debris should be predicted. However, various elements are mixed in the fuel debris, and thus predicting the dose rate will be challenging. Therefore, we conducted a large number of Monte Carlo radiation transport simulations for cases where parameters such as fuel debris size, composition, and density were significantly changed. Consequently, we obtained a simple and analytical formula that can predict the dose rate using a minimum number of parameters.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67362453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A relation of preconditioners of domain decomposition method is shown for numerical analysis of 3-Dimensional (3D) magnetostatic problems taking the magnetic vector potential as an unknown function. The iterative domain decomposition method is combined with the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) procedure and the Hierarchical Domain Decomposition Method (HDDM) which is adopted in parallel computing. Our previously employed preconditioner was the Neumann-Neumann (NN) preconditioner. Numerical results showed that the method was only effective for small number subdomain problems. In this paper, we consider its improvement making use of the Balancing Domain Decomposition DIAGonal scaling (BDD-DIAG) preconditioner and show the asymptotic equivalence between BDD-DIAG and the simplified diagonal scaling (diag) preconditioner, which is derived from the following numerical evidences. Finally, nonlinear processing is also tried for the first time.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67361925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aims at applying shape optimization to compute cell size and arrangement for elastic energy minimization of a cellular composite material model for the upper layer of the human skin. A gradient-penalized shape optimization algorithm is employed and tested on the distributed-memory cluster Hazel Hen, HLRS, Germany. The performance of the algorithm is studied in two benchmark tests. First, cell structures are optimized with respect to purely geometric aspects. The model is then extended such that the composite is optimized to withstand applied deformations. In both settings, the algorithm is investigated in terms of weak and strong scalability. The results for the geometric test reflect Kelvin's conjecture that the optimal space-filling design of cells with minimal surface is given by tetrakaidecahedrons. The PDE-constrained test case is chosen in order to demonstrate the influence of the deformation gradient penalization on fine inter-cellular channels in the composite and its influence on the multigrid convergence. A scaling study is presented for up to 12,288 cores and 3 billion DoFs.","PeriodicalId":41942,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41519261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
