    Notes: This paper presents a finite element analysis based on the Lagrangian description for unsteady incompressible viscous fluid flow with a free surface. The behaviour of the fluid is expressed by the unsteady Navier-Stokes equation. For numerical integration in time the fractional step method is used. This method is useful because one can use the same linear interpolation functions for both velocity and pressure. In this paper, four variations of the fractional step method are presented and the numerical results are compared. To confirm the effectiveness of these methods, solitary wave propagation is analysed.

    Notes: A new Lagrangian finite element formulation is presented for time-dependent incompressible free surface fluid flow problems described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The partial differential equations describing the continuum motion of the fluid are discretized using a Galerkin procedure in conjunction with the finite element approximation. Triangular finite elements are used to represent the dependent variables of the problem. An effective time integration procedure is introduced and provides a viable computational method for solving problems with equality of representation of the pressure and velocity fields. Its success has been attributed to the strict enforcement of the continuity constraint at every stage of the iterative process. The capabilities of the analysis procedure and the computer programs are demonstrated through the solution of several problems in viscous free surface fluid flow. Comparisons of results are presented with previous theoretical, numerical and experimental results.

    Notes: Two dimensional sloshing analysis has been carried out by the Lagrangian finite element method. For the integration in time, the velocity correction method with the same interpolation functions for velocity and pressure is successfully used. The Lagrangian treatment to pursue the free surface position is presented. The comparison with the experiments shows extremely good agreement. It is shown that the large amplitude sloshing waves in a container can be analyzed by the present method.

    Gradient method of optimal control applied to the operation of a dam water gate (1994)

    Notes: An extension of the authors' previous methods is presented for the optimal control of flood propagation via a dam gate, based on a combination of the finite element and gradient methods. It is assumed in previous papers that the control duration is the same as the duration of the flood. However, the duration of the control does not necessarily coincide with that of the flood flow. To overcome this difficulty, the gradient method is applied to solve the free terminal time-fixed terminal condition problem. It is shown that the water elevation can be controlled exactly the same as with the previously presented method. It is also shown that the computation can be terminated at a far shorter time than the terminal time of the flood.

    Notes: Numerical methods have been applied to theoretical studies of instability and transition to turbulence. In this study an analysis of the linear stability of incompressible flow is undertaken. By means of the finite element method the two-dimensional base flow is computed numerically over a range of Reynolds numbers and is perturbed with three-dimensional disturbances. The partial differential equations governing the evolution of perturbation are obtained from the non-linear Navier-Stokes equations with a slight compressibility by using linear stability and normal mode analysis. In terms of the finite element discretization a non-singular generalized eigenproblem is formulated from these equations whose solution gives the dispersion relation between complex growth rate and wave number. This study presents stability curves to identify the critical Reynolds number and critical wavelength of the neutral mode and discusses the mechanism of instability. The stability of lid-driven cavity flow is examined. Taylor-Göertler-like vortices in the cavity are obtained by means of reconstruction of three-dimensional flows. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    MODEL VERIFICATION ON 3D TIDAL CURRENT ANALYSIS IN TOKYO BAY (1996)

    Notes: The results of a research project to verify the newly improved multiple- level model for 3D tidal current analysis in Tokyo Bay are presented. The improved multiple-level model includes additional effects due to Coriolis force, river inflows and wind shear stresses. Furthermore, a new numerical treatment of the open boundary condition was applied which effectively eliminated the spurious reflective waves often generated by various numerical methods simulating free surface flows. The mean (time-averaged or residual) and tidal currents in Tokyo Bay were simulated as examples to demonstrate the validity and capability of the newly improved multiple-level model. A series of numerical experiments was conducted to carefully examine the tidal circulations affected by the forcing factors of Coriolis force, river inflows and wind shears, both individually and combined. The numerical results demonstrated that the effects of each forcing term are physically reasonable, with the wind shear effect being the most significant and the case including all forcing terms being in best overall agreement with the field data collected in Tokyo Bay by the Ministry of Transportation. This study has contributed not only to the verification of the newly improved multiple-level model but also to the enhancement of the accuracy of numerical simulations of three-dimensional flow in coastal waters by this model.

    Notes: A numerical method is presented to analyse a steady convection-diffusion problem with a first-order chemical reaction defined on an infinite region. The present method is based on the combined finite element and boundary element methods. For one- and two-dimensional examples in an infinite region the numerical results by the present method are in excellent agreement with the exact solutions. As a practical application, the simulation of the concentration distribution of the chemical oxygen demand at Kojima Bay is carried out.

    Notes: A method to deal with an open boundary condition in the analysis of water surface waves, the tide, etc. by means of the finite element method is proposed in this paper. The present method has two important features relating to the treatment of the open boundary condition. The first feature is to consider the non-reflective virtual boundary condition which has been developed in the numerical wave analysis method. The incident wave conditions without spurious reflected waves can be imposed at the open boundary. The second feature is to identify the amplitude of the components of incident waves in terms of observed water elevations in the field of standing waves. This can be done as a parameter identification based on an optimization problem by applying the conjugate gradient method. The applicability of this method to wave propagation problems is verified by several numerical computations.

    Notes: To avoid the use of pesticides on putting greens of golf courses, a temperature regulator system is strongly recommended nowadays in Japan. To maintain grass on the putting green without pesticide, the temperature of the ground should be controlled. This system consists of a cooling machine and buried pipes in the ground. The temperature of the water in the pipes cannot be regulated. In this paper, both identification and control problems are presented by the minimization technique and applied to a practical problem. To establish the system, it is important to obtain accurate parameters which are included in the governing equation. These parameters can be determined by parameter identification. The conjugate gradient method is used for the parameter identification procedure. The control problem aims to make the temperature at arbitrary points close to the objective temperature. The discrete-time dynamic programming is used for the control procedure.

    Notes: Two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element analyses for flow around two square columns in tandem arrangement were performed with various column spacings and Reynolds numbers. The computed values were compared with the wind-tunnel results in terms of the aerodynamic characteristics of the leeward column. In most 2D computations, strong vortices were formed behind the windward column, irrespective of widely changed Reynolds numbers. This was different from the experimental phenomena of equivalent spacing, so that the computed time-averaged pressure coefficients were not identical to the experimental values except when the distance between the two columns was adequately wide or narrow. On the other hand, in 3D computation, distinct differences in flow structures behind the column were observed between Reynolds numbers of 103 and 104 and the pressure coefficient in the 3D analysis with Re=104 agreed well with the experimental value. Thus, the effectiveness of 3D computations and Reynolds number effects on the flow around two square columns have been confirmed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
