A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been developed for the analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. A two-fluid three-field model was used for steam-water two-phase flows. To obtain numerical solutions, the finite volume method was applied over unstructured cell-centered meshes. In steam-water two-phase flows, a phase change, i.e., evaporation of condensation, results in a great change in the flow field because of substantial density difference between liquid and vapor phases. Thus, two-phase flows are very sensitive to the local pressure that determines the phase change. This in turn puts emphasis on the accurate evaluation of local pressure gradient. This paper presents a new numerical scheme to evaluate the pressure gradient at cell centers on unstructured meshes. The results of the new scheme for a simple test function a gravity-driven cavity, and a wall boiling two-phase flow are compared with those of the previous schemes in the cupid code.

본 연구에서는 강우-유출 과정 모의를 위한 GPU 기반 확산파 모형을 개발하였다. 확산파 방정식을 풀기위한 수치기법으로는 유한체적법을 이용하였으며, van Leer TVD limiter를 적용한 MUSCL 기법을 이용하여 각 셀의 인터페이스의 물리적 성질을 재구성하여 구하였다. 또한, 침투를 고려하기 위하여 Horton 침투 모형을 이용하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 1D single overland plane과 2D V-shaped overland에서 강우-유출 과정을 모의실험을 하였으며, 각각 해석해와 dynamic wave model을 이용하여 계산된 수치 결과와 비교하여 본 모형의 정확성을 검증하였다. 또한, 1D와 2D의 기복이 심한 지형에 적용하여 강우-유출과정이 본 모형을 통하여 물리적으로 타당한 해석이 가능함을 검증하였다. 마지막으로 복잡한 실제 지형에 적용하였으며, 측정값과의 비교를 통하여 실제 유역에서의 확산파 모형의 적정성을 검증하였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 NVIDIA사의 GPU인 Geforce GTX 1050과 GPU의 병렬 연산 처리 능력을 활용할 수 있는 NVIDIA사의 CUDA-Fortran을 이용하여 GPU 기반 확산파 모형을 개발하였다.

The numerical simulation using the Lattice Boltzmann Method in the field of computational fluid dynamics becomes wider in the engineering applications because of its simplicity of update rules compared to the conventional Navier-Stokes solvers. Here, a two-dimensional D2Q9 LB model is numerically tested with a few new computational treatment on the free surface. The single relaxation time is applied under the gravitational field where applied only in the higher density fluid because of its big density difference. At the free surface, the reconstruction techniques in combination with boundary conditions is adopted in order to get some distribution function coming into the fluid site from the air one, and surface tension, early stable test for the gravitional field is considered in it. With the implementation of the gravitational profile, conserving the overall mass and grid dependency are observed during the calculations and freesurface advance track is well captured with an experiment.

The recycle of PWR spent fuels in a CANDU reactor, so called the tandem fuel cycle is Investigated in this study. This scheme of utilizing Pm spent fuels will ease the shortage of spent fuel storage capacity as well as will improve the use of uranium resources. The minimum modification to the design of present CANDU reactor is seeked in the recycle. Nine different fuel types are considered in this work and are classified into two categories： refabrication and reconfiguration For refabrication, PWR spent fuels are processed and refabricated into the present 37 rod lattice structure of fuel bundle, and for reconfiguration, meanwhile, spent fuels are simply disassembled and rods are cut to fit into the present grid configuration of fuel bundle without refabrication. For each fuel option, the neutronics calculation of lattice was conducted to evaluate the allowable burnup and power distribution. The fuel cycle cost of each option was also computed to assess the economic justification. The result show that most tandem fuel cycle options considered in this study are technically feasible as well as economically viable.

A code is developed using the hybrid Cartesian/immersed boundary method and it is applied to simulate flows around a three-dimensional deforming body. A new criterion is suggested to distribute the immersed boundary nodes based on edges crossing a body boundary. Velocities are reconstructed at the immersed boundary nodes using the interpolation along a local normal line to the boundary. Reconstruction of the pressure at the immersed boundary node is avoided using the hybrid staggered/non-staggered grid method. The developed code is validated through comparisons with other experimental and numerical results for the velocity profiles around a circular cylinder under the forced in-line oscillation and the pressure coefficient distribution on a sphere. The code is applied to simulate the flow fields around a plate whose tail is periodically flapping under a translation. The effects of the velocity and acceleration due to the deformation on the periodic shedding of pairs of tip vortices are investigated.

자연하천에 적용가능한 수치모형은 지형의 변화를 합리적으로 계산할 뿐 아니라, 하도의 초기상태가 마름상태이거나 혹은 계산과정 중에 마름상태가 나타나더라도 충분히 계산할 수 있을 만큼 안정적이어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 비정형 및 비구조적 격자를 사용하여 지형변화를 고려한 흐름해석의 정확성과 효율성을 높이기 위해 보존변수의 재구성을 수면경사법과 MUSCL 기법을 연계하였으며, 하상경사항은 발산정리를 이용하여 이산화 하였다. 개발 모형의 정확성, 적용성 그리고 보존특성 등을 검증하기 위하여 해석해가 존재하는 불규칙 하상이 존재하는 하도 및 실험자료가 존재하는 실험하도에서의 댐 및 제방 붕괴와 같은 다양한 조건의 흐름에 적용하였다. 그리고 자연하천에 대한 적용 및 검증을 위해 Malpasset 댐 붕괴 모의를 수행하여 계산결과를 관측자료와 비교하였다.

An extension of our recently developed locally linear reconstruction scheme to 2 dimensional incompressible flow solver is presented. The solver is based on a semi-implicit fractional step method in which the convective term is discretized by Adams-Bashforth method and the diffusion term by Crank-Nicolson method. Several numerical examples are tested to demonstrate the mesh type independent accuracy of the solver, which include decaying vortex flow, square cavity flow, and flow around a circular cylinder. The above examples are solved on quadrilateral or hybrid meshes. For all numerical examples, we obtained reasonable results.

An updated Lagrangian finite element analysis with automatic remeshing scheme is applied to the three-dimensional hot extrusion through landless square dies. In the remeshing procedure, it is very difficult that the meshes are generated automatically with consideration of physical characteristics. In the presented study, the mesh generation is accomplished by modular concept. The generated meshes by modular concept have advantages, especially for three-dimensional problems, such as economized computational time and consideration of physical characteristic. In the problem, orifice shapes of square die are divided into two for the extrusion of solid sections. The orifice adaptive modules are developed for each type and the numerical examples are carried out for each type.

The backward extrusion process is one of the commonly used metal forming processes. In this paper. a battery case which has the rectangular section, is analyzed using a 3D metal forming package(MSC.Superforge). This pacakge uses the finite volume analysis method. It is shown that the MSC.Superforge package using finite volume method provides result very close to those obtained from a finite element analysis package(MSC.Superform). However, the simulation time using the finite volume method was almost 10 % of the simulation time consumed by the other package using finite element method. Moreover, the finite volume method used in MSC.Superforge can eliminate the remeshing problems that make the simulating a metal forming process with severe deformation, such as the extrusion process, so difficult.
