Abstract

The flow past a wall mounted square cylinder, a typical and basic shape of building, bridge or offshore structure, was simulated using URANS computation through adoption of three turbulence models, namely, the k-ε model, k-ω model, and the v2-f model. It is well known that this flow is naturally unstable due to the Karman vortex shedding and exhibits a complex flow structure in the wake region. The mean flow field including velocity profiles and the dominant frequency of flow oscillation that was from the simulations discussed earlier were compared with the experimental data observed by Wang et al. (2004; 2006). Based on these comparisons it was found that the v2-f model is most accurate for the URANS simulation; moreover, the k-ω model is also acceptable. However, the k-ε model was found to be unsuitable in this case. Therefore, v2-f model is proved to be an excellent choice for the analysis of flow with massive separation. Therefore, it is expected to be used in future by studies aiming to control the flow separation.

본 논문에서는 건물, 교량 및 해양구조물에 많이 적용되는 기본적인 형상인 벽면에 부착되어 있는 사각실린더 주변의 유동에 대해, 3개의 난류모델(v2-f 모델, k-ω 모델, k-ε 모델)을 적용하여 URANS 수치해석을 각각 수행하고, 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이 유동은 물체의 모서리에서 발생하는 칼만 와(karman vortex) 때문에 본질적으로 강한 비정상성을 가지고 있으며, 물체의 후류 영역에서도 매우 복잡한 유동구조를 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. 3개의 난류모델이 적용된 수치해석으로부터 예측되는 평균 유동장과 지배적인 유동의 주파수를 Wang et al.(2004; 2006)의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과, v2-f 모델이 적용된 URANS 결과가 실험결과와 가장 유사한 결과를 보여주었고, k-ω 모델도 우수한 결과를 보인 반면, k-ε 모델은 본 대상 유동에 적용하기에 부족함을 확인하였다. 따라서 강한 박리가 존재하는 유동의 해석 시에는 v2-f 모델은 좋은 선택이다. 그리고 유동의 박리 제어를 위한 연구에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
