Measurement-integrated (MI) simulation is a kind of the observer in the dynamical system theory by using CFD scheme as a mathematical model of the system. In a former study, two-dimensional MI (2D-MI) simulation with a coarse grid system showed a fairly good result in comparison with a 2D ordinary (2D-O) simulation, but the results were degraded with grid refinement. In this study, 3D-MI simulation and three-dimensional ordinary (3D-O) simulation were performed with three grid systems of different grid resolutions, and their grid convergence properties were compared. As a result, all 3D-MI simulations reproduced the vortex shedding frequency identical to that of the experiment, and the flow fields obtained were very close, within 5% difference between the results, while the results of the 3D-O simulations showed variation of the solution under convergence. It is shown that the grid convergence property of 3D-MI simulation is monotonic and better than that of 3D-O simulation, whereas those of 2D-O and 2D-MI simulations for streamwise velocity fluctuation are divergent. The solution of 3D-MI simulation with a relatively coarse grid system properly reproduces the basic three-dimensional structure of the wake flow as well as the drag and lift coefficients.展开更多

The improvement for the previous work is the use of an optimal observer that reduces greatly the time of changing now states and the adaptability for the regulation of frictioness now. By first order Taylor-expanding the frictioness flow equations of motion and continuity at equilibrium states, a set of linear equations are obtained then, the linear quadratic design technique in automatic control theory is used to control the now states. In order to avoid measuring all states, an optimal state estimator is constructed. A pipeline system is taken as example. The regulation results are satisfactory. If the changes of discharges are within 20%, the method developed in this paper is effective for valve-motion synthesis in real pipeline systems.展开更多
