Dynamic analysis of waveguide structures containing dielectric and metal strips is presented. The analysis utilizes a finite difference frequency domain procedure to reduce the problem to a symmetric matrix eigenvalue problem. Since the matrix is also sparse, the eigenvalue problem can be solved quickly and efficiently using the conjugate gradient method resulting in considerable savings in computer storage and time. Comparison is made with the analytical solution for the loaded dielectric waveguide case. For the microstrip case, we get both waveguide modes and quasi-TEM modes. The quasi-TEM modes in the limit of zero frequency are checked with the static analysis which also uses finite difference. Some of the quasi-TEM modes are spurious. This article describes their origin and discusses how to eliminate them. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the principles.

This work investigates the effects of compressibility on a stationary mode of instability of the three-dimensional boundary layer due to a rotating disc. The aim is to determine whether this mode will be important in the finite-amplitude destabilization of the boundary layer. This stationary mode is characterized by the effective velocity profile having zero shear stress at the wall. Triple-deck solutions are presented for an adiabatic wall and an isothermal wall. It is found that this stationary mode is only possible over a finite range of Mach numbers. Asymptotic solutions are obtained which describe the structure of the wave number and the orientation of these modes as functions of the local Mach number. The effects of nonlinearity are investigated allowing the finite-amplitude growth of a disturbance close to the neutral location to be described. The results are compared with the incompressible results of Hall (1) and MacKerrell (2).

A method for generating an unstructured triangular mesh in two dimensions, suitable for computing high Reynolds number flows over arbitrary configurations is presented. The method is based on a Delaunay triangulation, which is perfored in a locally stretched space, in order to obtain very high-aspect-ratio tiangles in the boundary layer and wake regions. It is shown how the method can be coupled with an unstructured Navier-Stokes solver to produce a solution-adaptive mesh generation procedure for viscous flows.

A quadratic nonlinear generalization of the linear Rotta model for the slow pressure‐strain correlation of turbulence is developed for high Reynolds number flows. The model is shown to satisfy realizability and to give rise to no stable nonzero equilibrium solutions for the anisotropy tensor in the case of vanishing mean velocity gradients. In order for any model to predict a return to isotropy for all relaxational flows, it is necessary to ensure that there is no nonzero stable fixed point that attracts realizable initial conditions. Both the phase space dynamics and the temporal behavior of the model are examined and compared against experimental data for the return to isotropy problem. It is demonstrated that the quadratic model successfully captures the experimental trends which clearly exhibit nonlinear behavior. Comparisons are also made with the predictions of the linear Rotta model, the quasilinear Lumley model, and the nonlinear model of Shih, Mansour, and Moin. The simple quadratic model proposed in this study does better than the Rotta model as anticipated, and also compares quite favorably with the other more complicated nonlinear models.
This paper considers compressible turbulent flows at low turbulent Mach numbers. Contrary to the general belief that such flows are almost incompressible (i.e., the divergence of the velocity field remains small for a...

This paper discusses the parallel implementation of a hypercube-based circuit partitioning scheme. The circuit partitioner is based on a simulated annealing algorithm and is designed to provide near optimal circuit partitions for simulating the circuits on a hypercube architecture. The circuit partitioning scheme optimizes multiple criteria such as tight coupling of nodes within a subcircuit, load balancing among processors and communication overheads. Design of a partitioner that obtains near optimal solutions satisfying such multiple criteria is difficult using any simple heuristic techniques other than simulated annealing.

The importance of circuit simulation in the design of VLSI circuits has channelised research work in the direction of finding methods to speedup this highly compute-intensive problem. On one hand, attempts have been made to find better algorithms and use faster hardware; and on the other hand, to use parallel architectures for accelerating the circuit simulation task. In this paper, we examine the various issues involved in parallelizing two well-known circuit simulation approaches – direct methods and relaxation methods. A number of parallel computer architectures which have been used for this purpose are also surveyed.

One of the most complicated forms encountered in engineering design is that of the marine propeller. The complexities arise from the complicated hydrodynamic surfaces of the propeller blades and the complicated manner in which the blades are oriented with and attached to the hub. Where propeller blades are attached to the hub, the blade shape is blended into the shape of the hub. The geometry of this region is particularly complicated. The shape of the blend is called a fillet, and the blending region is called the fillet region. Sheet metal gages conforming to various blade surface contours are used in the manufacture and inspection of propellers. Five different types of gages define the shape of the propeller in different regions. Fillet gages are such gages that define the shape of propeller blades in the fillet region. This paper describes a new computer-aided method for designing fillet gages. Previous methods of fillet gage design required the designer to follow a complicated layout procedure of determining where a particular unfilleted blade contour intersected the hub. The design of the fillet was then done in another layout procedure. Newly developed numerical procedures incorporated in a computer program have reduced the time required to design a complete set of gages (including fillet gages) from up to several weeks to hours.

The subject of I/O has often been neglected in the design of parallel computer systems, although for many problems I/O rates will limit the speedup attainable. The I/O problem is addressed here by considering the role of files in parallel systems. The notion of parallel files is introduced. Parallel files provide for concurrent access by multiple processes, and utilize parallelism in the I/O system to improve performance. Parallel files can also be used conventionally by sequential programs. A set of standard parallel file organizations is proposed, based on common data partitioning techniques. Implementation strategies for the proposed organizations are suggested, using multiple storage devices. Problem areas are also identified and discussed.

The scaling properties of plane homogeneous turbulent shear flows in a rotating frame are examined mathematically by a direct analysis of the Navier–Stokes equations. It is proved that two such shear flows are dynamically similar if and only if their initial dimensionless energy spectrum E*(k*,0), initial dimensionless shear rate SK0/ε0, initial Reynolds number K20/νε0, and the ratio of the rotation rate to the shear rate Ω/S are identical. Consequently, if universal equilibrium states exist at high Reynolds numbers, they will only depend on the single parameter Ω/S. The commonly assumed dependence of such equilibrium states on Ω/S through the Richardson number Ri=−2(Ω/S)(1−2Ω/S) is proved to be inconsistent with the full Navier–Stokes equations and to constitute no more than a weak approximation. To be more specific, Richardson number similarity is shown to only rigorously apply to certain low‐order truncations of the Navier–Stokes equations (i.e., to certain second‐order closure models) wherein closure is achieved at the second‐moment level by assuming that the higher‐order moments are a small perturbation of their isotropic states. The physical dependence of rotating turbulent shear flows on Ω/S is discussed in detail, along with the implications for turbulence modeling.
