This paper describes a numerical simulation of the interaction of a single nonlinear wave with a solid vertical surface in three dimensions. A coupled volume of fluid (VOF) and level set method (LSM) is used to simulate the wave-body interaction. A Cartesian-grid method is used to model immersed solid boundaries with constant grid spacing for simplicity and lower storage requirements. Mesh refinement is implemented near the wall boundaries due to the complex behavior of the free surface around the body. The behavior of the wave impact, the water sheet, and the high-speed jet arising from the wave impact are all captured with these methods. The numerical scheme is implemented using parallel computing due to the high central processing unit and memory requirements of this simulation. The maximum wave run-up velocity, instant wave run-up velocity in front of the vertical surface, the sheet break-up length, and the maximum impact pressure are computed for several input wave characteristics. Results are compared with a laboratory experiment that was carried out in a tow tank in which several generated waves were impacted with a fixed flat-shaped plate model. The numerical and experimental data on sheet breakup length are further compared with an analytical linear stability model for a viscous liquid sheet, and good agreement is achieved. The comparison between the numerical model and the experimental measurements of pressure, the wave run-up velocity, and the break-up length in front of the plate model shows good agreement.

Abstract An investigation of the effect of the thermal performance of the flattened heat pipe on its double heat sources acting as central processing unit and graphics processing unit in laptop computers is presented in this work. A finite element method is used for predicting the flattening effect of the heat pipe. The cylindrical heat pipe with a diameter of 6 mm and the total length of 200 mm is flattened into three final thicknesses of 2, 3, and 4 mm. The heat pipe is placed under a horizontal configuration and heated with heater 1 and heater 2, 40 W in combination. The numerical model shows good agreement compared with the experimental data with the standard deviation of 1.85%. The results also show that flattening the cylindrical heat pipe to 66.7 and 41.7% of its original diameter could reduce its normalized thermal resistance by 5.2%. The optimized final thickness or the best design final thickness for the heat pipe is found to be 2.5 mm.

A new three-dimensional Navier–Stokes solver for flows in turbomachines has been developed. The new solver is based on the latest version of the Denton codes but has been implemented to run on graphics processing units (GPUs) instead of the traditional central processing unit. The change in processor enables an order-of-magnitude reduction in run-time due to the higher performance of the GPU. The scaling results for a 16 node GPU cluster are also presented, showing almost linear scaling for typical turbomachinery cases. For validation purposes, a test case consisting of a three-stage turbine with complete hub and casing leakage paths is described. Good agreement is obtained with previously published experimental results. The simulation runs in less than 10 min on a cluster with four GPUs.

This paper details an experimental investigation of wave run-up on a fixed vertical surface piercing circular cylinder. The study focuses on two important parameters, wave steepness and body slenderness, which are shown to influence the wave run-up. The wave steepness, kA, is varied from 0.041–0.284, and the body slenderness parameter, ka, is varied from 0.208–1.386. The zero-, first- and second-harmonic components of the wave run-up are compared with frequency based numerical predictions of the free-surface elevation by a commercially available boundary element program, WAMIT. The comparison illustrates the importance zero- and higher-harmonic contributions to the wave run-up. In particular we show that the linear diffraction prediction of the first-harmonic component is reasonable, however, the trends exhibited by the zero- and second-harmonics are not captured well by perturbation theory. Using a regression analysis, involving a separation of ka and kA dependence, the importance of higher-order wave steepness effects on wave run-up is demonstrated.

This paper presents and analyses results of experiments in which a vertical surface-piercing cylinder was driven with a horizontal motion a cos ωt in water initially at rest. Using a novel system of 112 water surface elevation gauges that were monitored almost simultaneously at high frequency, measurements were made of the run-up on the cylinder over a wide range of conditions. According to linear theory, the run-up is of the form a cos ωt cos θ. Non-linear components at temporal and spatial frequencies up to the 3rd harmonic were identified in the measurements, and in some of these, the coefficient of the leading term in a polynomial expansion in the amplitude of motion could be computed with reasonable confidence. Very successful comparisons are made with conventional linear potential theory. Some features of the free surface motion that are normally associated with higher order solutions were also computed from the first-order potential, and in some respects they were in good agreement with the measurements.

Perangkat keras komputer adalah bagian dari sistem komputer sebagai perangkat yang dapat diraba, dilihat secara fisik, dan bertindak untuk menjalankan instruksi dari perangkat lunak (software). Perangkat keras komputer juga disebut dengan hardware. Hardware berperan secara menyeluruh terhadap kinerja suatu sistem komputer. Prinsipnya sistem komputer selalu memiliki perangkat keras masukan (input/input device system) – perangkat keras premprosesan (processing/central processing unit) – perangkat keras luaran (output/output device system) – perangkat tambahan yang sifatnya opsional (peripheral) dan tempat penyimpanan data (storage device system/external memory).

Perkembangan IT di dunia sangat pesat, mulai dari perkembangan sofware hingga hardware. Teknologi sekarang telah mendominasi sebagian besar di permukaan bumi ini. Karena semakin cepatnya perkembangan Teknologi, kita sebagai pengguna bisa ketinggalan informasi mengenai teknologi baru apabila kita tidak up to date dalam pengetahuan teknologi ini. Hal itu dapat membuat kita mudah tergiur dan tertipu dengan berbagai iklan teknologi tanpa memikirkan sisi negatifnya. Sebagai pengguna dari komputer, kita sebaiknya tahu seputar mengenai komponen-komponen komputer. Komputer adalah serangkaian mesin elektronik yang terdiri dari jutaan komponen yang dapat saling bekerja sama, serta membentuk sebuah sistem kerja yang rapi dan teliti. Sistem ini kemudian digunakan untuk dapat melaksanakan pekerjaan secara otomatis, berdasarkan instruksi (program) yang diberikan kepadanya. Istilah Hardware komputer atau perangkat keras komputer, merupakan benda yang secara fisik dapat dipegang, dipindahkan dan dilihat. Central Processing System/ Central Processing Unit (CPU) adalah salah satu jenis perangkat keras yang berfungsi sebagai tempat untuk pengolahan data atau juga dapat dikatakan sebagai otak dari segala aktivitas pengolahan seperti penghitungan, pengurutan, pencarian, penulisan, pembacaan dan sebagainya.
