Abstract

Recently, due to environmental problems caused by densification and high rise of urban areas, interests in air flow is increasing and appropriate shape and layout design of buildings is required. Therefore, in this study, we intend to propose an experimental method that can observe the air flow around a building using thermochromic pigment. Thermochromic pigments have limitations in observing precise temperature changes due to the characteristic that the color changes only with respect to a specific temperature, but they have the advantages of easy configuration of experimental equipment and short time required for experiments. In this study, the air flow tendencies around a building was examined by performing CFD analysis for a simple model and then compared with the thermochromic experiment results in order to review the usefulness of the proposed experimental method. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to observe the formation of separated flow and vortex region generated by buildings using the charateristics of thermochromic pigment and it was confirmed that the proposed method can be useful for buildings design and urban city planning.

최근 도시 지역의 고밀도화 및 고층화에 의한 환경 문제로 인해 도심 지역의 공기 유동에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 이에 따라 건축물의 적절한 형상 및 배치 설계가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 온도에 따른 색 변화 특성을 갖는 열변색성 염료를 이용하여 건물 주위의 공기 유동 경향을 관찰할 수 있는 실험 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 열변색성 염료는 특정 온도에 대해서만 색이 변하는 특성 때문에 온도 변화를 정밀하게 관찰하기에는 한계가 있지만 실험 모델 및 장비 구성이 용이하고 실험에 소요되는 시간이 짧다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단순 형상 모델에 대한 CFD 해석을 통하여 건물 주위의 바람에 의한 공기 유동 경향을 분석한 후 열변색 실험 결과와 비교함으로써 제안된 실험 방법의 유용성을 검토하였다. 이러한 실험의 결과로서 열변색성 염료의 특성을 이용하여 도심 건물에 의해 발생되는 박리풍과 와류의 형성 영역을 관찰할 수 있었으며 제안된 방법이 건축물 설계 및 도시 계획에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
