    A New Efficient Matrix Algorithm for a 3D Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) Model Used on Sound Transmission Problems

    M. D. C. Magalhaes1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.6, pp. 441-465, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.441
    Abstract The main goal of this study is to present an alternative and more efficient algorithm for a three-dimensional Component Mode Synthesis model to be used on sound transmission problems. The influence of fluid-structure interaction on airborne sound transmission problems is analysed using this model, which is based on simple volume geometries. In principle, the same procedure can also be applied when the component modes are obtained from alternative numerical techniques. The modal behaviour of acoustic volumes and a partition is implemented in two steps. The novelty of this alternative model is that the structural modes are incorporated on the acoustic… More >

    The Direction Zone of Engineless UAVs in Dynamic Soaring

    B. J. Zhu1,2, Z. X. Hou1, Y. F. Lu1, S. Q. Shan1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.6, pp. 467-490, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.467
    Abstract This paper mainly analyzes the dynamic soaring of UAV utilizing gradient wind. Dynamic soaring is an efficient path in which UAV absorbs energy from environment to enhance its flight endurance. A set of three-dimensional point dynamic equations for a soaring aircraft in three degrees of freedom is used in calculations. To simplify the calculation, the gradient wind’s direction is taken into decomposition. The notion of trajectory subsection analysis is applied to account for the energy transformation mechanism during the dynamic soaring, and the zone of direction is converted into cutting-in angle, which is regarded as initial limiting condition in the… More >

    Numerical Solutions of Two-dimensional Stokes Flows by the Boundary Knot Method

    Chia-Ming Fan1,2, Yu-Kai Huang1, Po-Wei Li1, Ying-Te Lee1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.105, No.6, pp. 491-515, 2015, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2015.105.491
    Abstract In this paper, the boundary knot method (BKM) is adopted for accurately analyzing two-dimensional Stokes flows, dominated by viscous force and pressure gradient force. The Stokes flows, which denoted the flow fields with extremely viscous fluid or with very small velocity, appear in various engineering applications, such that it is very important to develop an efficient and accurate numerical method to solve the Stokes equations. The BKM, which can avoid the controversial fictitious boundary for sources, is an integral-free boundary-type meshless method and its solutions are expressed as linear combinations of nonsingular general solutions for Stokes equations. The weighting coefficients… More >
