Author Watanabe, Masaji| Yamatogi, Toshio|
Abstract The density current generator (Manufacturer: Nakashima Propeller Co., Ltd., Patent owner: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.) is designed to generate vertical circulation over a wide water area harnessing the density current effect. We present some experimental results that we obtained using a float equipped with a GPS unit to study water flows generated by a density current generator unit set in S-Reservoir in Okayama Prefecture. We also present some measured results concerning the water temperature around the unit. We discuss its effects observing the experimental results and the measured results.

Abstract We study a system obtained by coupling a nonlinear oscillator and a stationary system. We analyze the dynamics in a singular limit and show that asymptotically orbitally stable periodic solutions can exist. We also show how a slow oscillation can arise in the coupled system.

Abstract Topographical data of Kojima Lake have been updated by applying data obtained after dredging. Together with tide level of Kojima Bay and water levels of Kurashiki River and Sasagase river, the information was incorporated in computational analysis of unsteady flows generated in the lake when the water was discharged from Kojima Lake to Kojima, Bay. A finite element method was applied to equations governing unsteady flows, and the transition of discharge was obtained.

Abstract According ot previous studies, we may expect that slow oscillations can occur in dynamics of a parameterized family of systems in which a biochemical oscillator is coupled to a stationary systems. We introduce some numerical results that confirm our expectation. The results suggest that it is possible for slow oscillations to occur in dynamics of a system in which an active oscillatory unit is coupled to a passive medium, and that it is possible for circadian oscillations to arise from fast glycolytic oscillations in such a coupled system.

Abstract The global positioning system (GPS) is utilized for analysis of flows in the water environment. A float equipped with a GPS unit is designed to drift on the surface of the water. Its driving force is the fluid resistance exerted on a pair of rectangular plates. While it travels over the surface, the GPS unit evaluates its position every second, and spatiotemporal data that specify its motion are transmitted to be recorded. Results of experiments conducted to study unsteady flows generated in Kojima Lake are introduced.

Abstract The global positioning system is utilized in lake flow analysis to facilitate experimental evaluation for numerical results of a lake flow simulation. In our lake flow experiment a float travels on the lake surface receiving the fluid resistance due to lake flow, while a global positioning system receiver keeps track of its position. A momentum equation is derived when the product of the float mass and its acceleration is set equal to the driving force. The temporal change in the position of the float can be simulated when numerical solutions of lake flow equations are given. A comparison of numerical results and experimental data leads to an evaluation of the numerical simulation of lake flow.

Abstract We study unsteady flow that models lake flow in Kojima Lake. We assume that a lake is connected to another area with gates, and that those gates are opened when the water level outside the gates is lower than the water level of the lake. We study unsteady flow due to the opening of the gates. We analyze the problem with the finite element method, and take detailed structures of the gates into account.

Abstract We present some results of a finite element analysis for an unsteady flow in Kojima Lake. We also present an experimental result. The global positioning system was utilized in the experiment in order to record the temporal and the spatial data of a float traveling with the driving force of the fluid resistance. The spatial and temporal data were recorded to examine their correspondence with analytical results.
