In this research, the finite difference lattice Boltzmann method(FDLBM) is used to analyze gravity currents in the lock exchange configuration that occur in many natural and man-made situations. At a lock those are seen when a gate is suddenly opened, and, in the atmosphere, when the thunderstorm outflows make a cold front. At estuaries in the ocean, the phenomenon is found between fresh water from a river and salt water in the sea. Since such interesting phenomena were recognized, pioneers have challenged to make them clear by conducing both experiments and analysis. Most of them were about the currents of liquid or Boussinesq fluids, which are assumed as incompressible. Otherwise, the difference in density of two fluids is small. The finite difference lattice Boltzmann method has been a powerful tool to simulate the flow of compressible fluids. Also, numerical predictions using FDLBM to clarify the gravity currents of compressible fluids exhibit all features, but typically observed in experimental flows near the gravity current head, including the lobe-and-cleft structure at the leading edge.

The lattice Boltzmann method(LBM) has attracted attention as an alternative numerical algorithm for solving fluid mechanics since the end of the 90's. In these days, its intrinsic unsteadiness and rapid increase in computing power make the LBM be more applicable for computing flow-induced noise as well as fluid dynamics. The lattice Boltzmann method is a weakly compressible scheme, so we can get information about both aerodynamics and aeroacoustics from single simulation. In this paper, numerical analysis on Aeolian tone noise generated by tandem-twin square cylinders in duct is performed using the LBM. For simplicity, laminar two-dimensional fluid models are used. To verify the validity and accuracy of the current numerical techniques, numerical results for the laminar duct and the cylinder flows are compared with the analytical solution and the measurement, respectively. Then, aerodynamic noise of the twin tandem square cylinders is investigated. It is shown that the aerodynamic noise from the twin tandem square cylinders can be reduced by controlling the distance between the cylinders.

전산유체역학의 격자볼츠만법은 Navier-Stokes방정식의 시뮬레이션 기법 보다 비교적 간략한 이산화 방식으로 인하여 공학적 응용성을 더욱 넓혀 가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일 완화계수 및 D2Q9 방식으로 중력장하에서 액체영역에서의 다이나믹스만 계산하는 자유수면 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 그 활용성을 검증하였다. 자유표면의 재구성방법, 분포함수의 조합으로 이루어진 경계조건, 표면장력, 중력장의 안정화, 격자의존성, 자유수면 끝단의 하단 벽면 이동 검증등을 수행하였으며, 그 결과치가 실험치의 데이터와 일치함을 보였다.

포아즌 볼츠만 방정식 (Poisson-Boltzmann equation, PBE)은 생물물리, 콜로이드 화학 등에서 등장하는 문제들을 모델링하는데 사용되는 방정식이다. 따라서 PBE의 수치해를 효율적으로 예측하는 것은 중요한 이슈이다. 저자들은 기존의 연구에서 PBE를 풀기위한 딥러닝 방법을 제안하였으나, 딥러닝을 훈련하기 위한 샘플을 생성하는 시간이 컸다는 어려움이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 FEM 수치해를 생성하는데 걸리는 시간을 줄이는 두가지 방안을 마련하였다. 첫째로 대수 방정식을 만들 때 bilinar form에 포함되는 penalty 파라메터를 실험적으로 조정하였다. 두 번째로, 대수적멀티그리드 기법을 활용하여 대수 방정식의 컨디션 넘버를 meshsize와 무관하게 만들었다. 따라서 PBE 방정식의 대수 방정식을 풀 때 계산 시간을 효과적으로 줄였다. 이러한 대수적 멀티그리드를 사용한 방법은 다양한 분야에서 딥러닝의 샘플을 생성하는데 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Creatures in nature flap their wings to generate fluid dynamic forces that are required for the locomotion. Small-size creatures do not use flapping wings. Thus, it is questionable at which Reynolds number the propulsion using the flapping wings are effective. In this paper, the onset conditions of the thrust generation from the combined motion of flat plates (heaving, pitching in the motion and also tandem, biplane in the array) is investigated using a Lattice Boltzmann method. To solve the pitching motion of the plate on the regularly spaced lattices, 2-D moving boundary condition was implemented. The present method is validated by comparing the wake patterns behind a oscillating circular cylinder and its hydrodynamic characteristics with the CFD results. Present method can be applied to the design of micro flapping propulsors for biomedical use.

Effective mixing is an important problem in microfluidics for chemical and biomechanical applications. In this study, the influences of the Reynolds number and the oscillating frequency on mixing characteristics of micro-stirrer are studied in a microchannel with single stirrer. The influence of fluid inertial effects in an active mixer is first discussed. It is found that the stirring effects by stirrer oscillation are promptly attenuated at low Reynolds number, which makes greatly difficult the rapid mixing. As the inertial effects are increased, the chaotic advection is generated and then developed. The mixing phase is finally developed some mushroom shaped structure. And the mixing efficiency is also studied as a function of the oscillating frequency. We found that the mixing efficiency does not always increase with higher oscillating frequency of stirrer. Consequently, we found the functional relation between the optimal frequency of a stirrer and the Reynolds number.

An air-water free surface flow simulation by using the Lattice Boltzmann Method(LBM) has not been studied a lot compared with the done by the Navier-Stoke equation. This paper shows the LBM is as one of the application tools for the free surface movement over an obstacle. The Mezo scaled application tool has been developed with two dimensional and nine discretized velocity direction using conventional lattice Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model. Boundary conditions of a halfway-based for solid wall and a kinematic-based for interface are adopted. A validation case with a trapezoidal shape bump to make a comparison between freesurface movements from computational results and experimental ones was described with grid size dependency.

Computer simulation of multiphase flows has grown dramatically in the last two decades. In this work, we have studied the flow characteristics of immiscible two fluids in a 2-D micro channel driven by pressure gradient using multi-phase lattice Boltzmann method suggested by Shan and Chen(1993) considering the fluid-surface interaction. we tried to examine the effects of parameters related to the two phase flow characteristics and pressure drop in the micro channel like contact angle and channel configuration by changing their value. The results of current study could show the lattice Boltzmann method can simulate the behaviors of two phase flow in the region of micro fluidics well.

In this paper, the fluid dynamic forces and performances of a moving airfoil in the low Reynolds number flow is addressed. In order to simulate the necessary propulsive force for the moving airfoil in a low Reynolds number flow, a lattice-Boltzmann method is used. The critical Reynolds and Strouhal numbers for the thrust generation are investigated for the four propulsion types. It was found that the Normal P&D type produces the largest thrust with the highest efficiency among the investigated types. The leading edge of the airfoil has an effect of deciding the force production types, whereas the trailing edge of the airfoil plays an important role in augmenting or reducing the instability produced by the leading edge oscillation. It is believed that present results can be used to decide the optimal propulsion types for the given Reynolds number flow.

In order to consider the effect of Karman vortex for mixing, mixing indices are calculated for 4 models of micro channel flows driven from the combinations of a circular cylinder and a oscillating stirrer. And their results are compared to that of a simple straight micro channel flow(model I). The mixing rate is improved 5.5 times by Karman vortex (model II) and 11.0 times by the stirrer(model III) respectively. In case of successive mixing by the cylinder and the stirrer(model IV), $27\%$ of shortening the channel length for the complete mixing as well as 1.37 times improvement of mixing efficiency then model III. And then, variation of mixing indices are much stable comparing with the others. Thus, it is found that the Karman vortex plays a good role as a pre-mixing method. The D2Q9 Lattice Boltzmann methods are used.
