A calculation procedure for three-dimensional steady recirculating flows using multigrid methods

An efficient finite difference calculation procedure for three-dimensional recirculating flows is presented. The algorithm is based on a coupled solution of the three-dimensional momentum and continuity equations in primitive variables by the multigrid technique. A symmetrical coupled Gauss-Seidel technique is used for iterations and is observed to provide good rates of smoothing. Calculations have been made of the fluid motion in a three-dimensional cubic cavity with a moving top wall. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by performing calculations at different Reynolds numbers with finite difference grids as large as 66 × 66 × 66 nodes. The CPU times and storage requirements for these calculations are observed to be very modest. The algorithm has the potential to be the basis for an efficient general-purpose calculation procedure for practical fluid flows.     

Evaluation of design requirements using fuzzy outranking methods

To increase customer satisfaction, quality function deployment is used to translate customer needs into technical design requirements (DRs). Determination of DRs for product development is very important because these requirements are the vital keys to successful products. The methods used to evaluate DRs in the literature can be categorized into multicriteria evaluation methods such as scoring methods, the analytic hierarchy method, analytic network process, and so forth. There are few papers using fuzzy multi‐attribute outranking methods to evaluate DRs. This article aims to compare the results of three different fuzzy outranking methods to evaluate the DRs in the PVC windows industry. A sensitivity analysis is also made by using the software, FOuR. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Int Syst 22: 1229–1250, 2007.

Comparison of content-based music recommendation using different distance estimation methods

With rapid growth in the online music market, music recommendation has become an active research area. In most current approaches, content-based recommendation methods play an important role. Estimation of similarity between music content is the key to these approaches. A distance formula is used to calculate the music distance measure, and music recommendations are provided based on this measure. However, people have their own unique tastes in music. This paper proposes a method to calculate a personalized distance measure between different pieces of music based on user preferences. These methods utilize a randomized algorithm, a genetic algorithm, and genetic programming. The first two methods are based on Euclidean distance calculation, where the weight of each music feature in the distance calculation approximates user perception. The third method is not limited to Euclidean distance calculation. It generates a more complex distance function to estimate a user’s music preferences. Experiments were conducted to compare the distance functions calculated by the three methods, and to compare and evaluate their performance in music recommendation.     

Noise prediction for a turbulent jet using different hybrid methods

The acoustic field of a cold single stream jet at Mach number 0.9 and Reynolds number 3600 is determined via computational aeroacoustics (CAA) methods. The jet computation of the acoustical field is performed by two hybrid approaches using a large-eddy simulation (LES) for the flow field and various systems of equations for the acoustical field to construct a robust, efficient, and reliable LES/CAA solver. The acoustic equations are the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings equation (FWH) in the frequency domain and the acoustic perturbation equations (APE). The pronounced impact of the data windowing and the radial and streamwise extension of the integration surface on the directivity of the FWH solution is discussed at length. The comparison with available experimental and numerical results at similar flow conditions based on the noise characteristics in the near field shows the solution of the APE system to match the results of the direct LES more accurately than the FWH approach. The APE solution is less susceptible to the size of the source term region than the FWH approach to the location of the source surface. In conjunction with the APE formulation the LES domain can be chosen smaller than for the FWH ansatz resulting in less computational cost for the jet flow. The dominant source term in the APE system for cold jet noise is shown to be the Lamb vector.     

LCD motion‐blur estimation using different measurement methods

Abstract— The primary goal of this study was to find a measurement method for motion blur which is easy to carry out and gives results that can be reproduced from one lab to another. This method should be able to also take into account methods for reduction of motion blur such as backlight flashing. Two methods have been compared. The first method uses a high‐speed camera that permits us to directly picture the blurred‐edge profile. The second one exploits the mathematical analysis of the motion‐blur formation to construct the blurred‐edge profile from the temporal step response. Measurement results and method proposals are given and discussed.

改进的单纯形法迭代计算方法

对传统大M法进行改进,若计算检验数的表达式中含有M则只计算含有M的部分,从而简化计算,迭代过程中当人工变量由基变量变为非基变量时,直接去掉人工变量部分的表格然后继续计算,从而再一次降低计算量。借鉴两阶段法的优点进一步给出了无需给出大M的迭代算法,此法不会破坏目标函数的一致性,而且可以避免传统大M法在利用计算机求解时由于M值的选取不当所导致的计算错误。     

Evaluation of feature selection methods for text classification with small datasets using multiple criteria decision-making methods

The evaluation of feature selection methods for text classification with small sample datasets must consider classification performance, stability, and efficiency. It is, thus, a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. Yet there has been few research in feature selection evaluation using MCDM methods which considering multiple criteria. Therefore, we use MCDM-based methods for evaluating feature selection methods for text classification with small sample datasets. An experimental study is designed to compare five MCDM methods to validate the proposed approach with 10 feature selection methods, nine evaluation measures for binary classification, seven evaluation measures for multi-class classification, and three classifiers with 10 small datasets. Based on the ranked results of the five MCDM methods, we make recommendations concerning feature selection methods. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the used MCDM-based method in evaluating feature selection methods.     

A parallel CFD rotor code using OpenMP

The extended full-potential (FPX) helicopter rotor computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code of Fortran in its reduced two-dimensional version is successfully converted into a parallel version for multiprocessing. The FPX code with an internal grid generator solves the compressible full-potential equation using an approximately factored finite-difference scheme with added numerous physical modeling enhancements, including viscous boundary layers, shock-induced entropy corrections and wake-vortex embedding. The parallel version of the code uses open multi-processing (OpenMP) directives as parallel programming tool in shared-memory (SM) environment. The OpenMP code is portable and scalable, which can run on various computer platforms including UNIX platforms and Windows NT platforms. The performance study of the parallel code on SGI Origin 2000 UNIX platform is made. The results show that reasonable speedups through parallelization are obtained and that OpenMP is easy to use and an efficient parallel programming tool for the present problem.     

CFD simulation and optimization of ICEs exhaust heat recovery using different coolants and fin dimensions in heat exchanger

In this paper, finned type heat exchangers with different fin dimensions in the exhaust of a gasoline engine are modeled numerically for improving the exhaust energy recovery. RNG k-ε viscous model is used and the results are compared with available experimental data presented by Lee and Bae (Int J Therm Sci 47:468–478, 2008) where a good agreement is observed. Also, the effect of fin numbers, fin length and three water-based nanofluid coolants (TiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and CuO) on the heat recovery efficiency are investigated in different engine loads. As a main outcome, results show that increasing the fin numbers and using TiO₂-water as cold fluid are the most effective methods for heat recover. Furthermore, an optimization analysis is performed to find the best fins dimensions using response surface methodology.

The simplest fuzzy controllers using different inference methods are different nonlinear proportional-integral controllers with variable gains

The author analytically proves that the simplest fuzzy controllers using different inference methods are different nonlinear proportional-integral (PI) controllers with proportional-gains and integral-gains changing with inputs of the controllers. The inference methods involved are Mamdani's minimum inference method, Larsen's product inference method, the drastic product inference method and the bounded product inference method. Configuration of the fuzzy controllers is minimal, which includes two input fuzzy sets, three output fuzzy sets, four control rules, Zadeh fuzzy logic AND, Lukasiewicz fuzzy logic OR and a center of gravity defuzzification algorithm. After analytically investigating properties of the nonlinear PI controllers, the author reveals that the bounded product inference method is inappropriate for the control purpose while the other three inference methods are appropriate. Dynamic and static control behaviors of the fuzzy controllers with the appropriate inference methods are analytically compared with each other, and are also compared with those of the linear PI controller. Finally, it is analytically proven that the fuzzy control systems have the same local stability at the equilibrium point as the corresponding linear PI control system does.

Stochastic optimization methods for ship resistance and operational efficiency via CFD

Hull-form stochastic optimization methods are presented and evaluated for resistance reduction and operational efficiency (operability), addressing stochastic sea state and operations. The cost/benefit analysis of the optimization procedure is presented by comparison of four hierarchical problems, from stochastic most general to deterministic least general. The parent hull is a high-speed catamaran, with geometrical constraints for maximum variation of length, beam, draft, and displacement. Problem 1 is used as a benchmark for the evaluation of the other problem formulations and is defined as a multi-objective stochastic optimization for resistance and operability, considering stochastic sea state and speed, but limited to head waves. Problem 2 is a multi-objective stochastic optimization for resistance and motions at fixed sea state and speed. Problem 3 is a multi-objective deterministic optimization for resistance and motions using a single regular wave at fixed speed. Problem 4 is a single-objective deterministic optimization for calm-water resistance at fixed speed. The design optimization is based on hull-form modifications by the Karhunen-Loève expansion of a free-form deformation, URANS-based CFD simulations, regular wave approximations for irregular waves, metamodels and multi-objective particle swarm. The design optimization achieves an 8.7, 23, 53, and 10% average improvements for problems 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Comparing to problem 1, problem 2, 3, 4 optimized designs have average performances 1, 2.1 and 1.7% worse, respectively. The most efficient problem, from the computational cost/benefit viewpoint, is problem 3. Nevertheless, problem 1 is needed to evaluate and compare the stochastic performance of the designs and finally assess the optimization cost/benefit.

Higher-order CFD and interface tracking methods on highly-Parallel MPI and GPU systems

A computational investigation of the effects on parallel performance of higher-order accurate schemes was carried out on two different computational systems: a traditional CPU based MPI cluster and a system of four Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) controlled by a single quad-core CPU. The investigation was based on the solution of the level set equations for interface tracking using a High-Order Upstream Central (HOUC) scheme. Different variants of the HOUC scheme were employed together with a 3rd-order TVD Runge–Kutta time integration. An increase in performance of two orders of magnitude was seen when comparing a single CPU core to a single GPU with a greater increase at higher orders of accuracy and at lower precision.
