  • Surface treatment apparatus
    Patent number: 9243326
    Abstract: A surface treatment apparatus in which a disk-like sample-holding plate is provided inside an enclosure constituting a cylindrical circumferential wall. A cylindrical portion in an upper portion of the enclosure constitutes a material fluid supplying channel, and a channel provided on the lateral side of the sample-holding plate in the enclosure and shaped spreading as it goes farther from the cylindrical portion constitutes a fluid discharge channel. The fluid discharge channel employs a parabola curve or the like in which the position of the upper end of the outmost circumference of the sample-holding plate is defined as a focus position and the position of the upper end of the outlet that is symmetrically opposite to the focus position is defined as a reference position.
    Type: Grant

    Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHO, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA
    Inventors: Yu Yan Jiang, Masahide Inagaki, Kenji Nakashima, Soichiro Makino, Nariaki Horinouchi, Takahiro Ito

  • Method and computer storage medium for determining a wall-damping function used in the subgrid-scale modeling for large eddy simulation
    Patent number: 7555413
    Abstract: A wall-damping function is defined by the use of a Kolmogorov's velocity scale. A dissipation rate ?SGS of SGS turbulent energy for components of a wave number smaller in scale than a grid filter size is not used as it is in place of a dissipation rate for components of all wave numbers of turbulent energy, but the dissipation rate ?SGS of SGS turbulent energy for components of a wave number smaller in scale than a grid filter size is converted to a dissipation rate for components of all wave numbers of turbulent energy by a predetermined wave number (grid filter size) when turbulent flow is modeled and a distance from the surface of a wall.
