The goal of this study was to develop a venturi-type air bubble generator with a porous material throat. Using the two-phase multi-flow CFD analysis for the venturi tube, researchers determined the optimal design of major dimensions, such as the venturi throat length and diameter, in order to control the performance of the air bubble supply through the porous material throat in a venturi tube. Researchers then determined the relationship between the flow rate of supply water and the major design dimensions of the venturi-type air generator for maximizing the performance of the air bubble supply through the porous material throat in a venturi tube.

In this study, computational fluid dynamics was used to analyze the flow bias generated as air supplied by a fan passes through ducts, piping, and a coal separation screen. The flow bias of the air flow is mostly caused by the spatial characteristics of the fan volute and duct, and the internal baffle and the coal separation screen at the outlet cause strong pressure losses that dampen the flow bias. ANSYS CFX was used for computational fluid dynamics, and since the baffle and the coal separation screen are shaped like perforated plates with many small holes uniformly distributed, actual modeling for analysis was not possible. Therefore, the Porous Loss Model was applied. The evaluation of the flow bias was analyzed based on the velocity distribution of the Porous Loss Model at the outlet surface of the coal separation screen obtained from the computational fluid dynamics results.

Bubble size is a key parameter for an accurate prediction of bubble behaviours in the multi-dimensional two-phase flow. In the current STAR CCM+ CFD code, a mechanistic bubble size model $S{\gamma}$ is available for the prediction of bubble size in the flow channel. As another model, Yun model is developed based on DEBORA that is subcooled boiling data in high pressure. In this study, numerical simulation for the gas-liquid two-phase flow was conducted to validate and confirm the performance of $S{\gamma}$ model and Yun model, using the commercial CFD code STAR CCM+ ver. 10.02. For this, local bubble models was evaluated against the air-water data from DEDALE experiments (1995) and Hibiki et al. (2001) in the vertical pipe. All numerical results of $S{\gamma}$ model predicted reasonably the two-phase flow parameters and Yun model is needed to be improved for the prediction of air-water flow under low pressure condition.

Nowadays, the technique to deal with the waste gas of perfluorinated compounds using plasma has been developed. As the effective decomposition techniques at many research centers and companies were investigated at home and abroad, the products have been improved with various methods. This study aims to guess the distributions of pressure and temperature through the thermal and fluid analyses inside the decomposition equipment model of waste gas. As the analysis result, the maximum pressure and the minimum pressure are 0.975Pa and -1.037Pa individually on the whole. It is shown that the pressure of air decreases gradually as the air flows from inlet to plane 1 and the pressure increases as the air flows from plane 1 to outlet. And the maximum temperature and the mimum temperature are $1718^{\circ}C$와 $26.07^{\circ}C$ individually on the whole. It is shown that the temperature of air increases gradually as the air flows from inlet to plane 4 and the temperature decreases as the air flows until outlet. It is thought that the data necessary to develop the real system can be applied by using the thermal and fluid analyses.

The test facility with hot-air supply system is required to develop transpiration cooling materials and experimentally evaluate its performance. In the study, the facility consists of an arc-plasma generator, plenum chamber suppling cold air, and test section was designed and an internal flow analysis was executed. From CFD results, it was confirmed that the designed plenum chamber thermally safeties and ideally mixes with plasma gas and cold air in the chamber. In addition, validity of design for supplying homogeneous flow to the test section was confirmed by this analysis.

대형 화물 트럭(heavy-duty truck)은 화물 적재에 용이하지만, 공기역학적으로 불리한 형상을 가진다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고자 대형 화물 트럭에는 공기저항력(aerodynamic drag)을 줄일 수 있는 여러 가지 장치가 달려있다. 본 논문에서는 디플렉터(deflector) 형상이 항력 감소에 어떠한 영향을 주며, 평판 형태와 굴곡진 형태의 디플렉터 형상에 대한 항력 계수 비교를 EDISON-CFD를 활용하여 비교하였다. 해석 결과, 측풍(side-wind)의 영향을 무시하며 차량 속도 95 km/h로 등속을 유지하는 조건에서 평판 형태의 Model 1과 바깥으로 굴곡진 Model 2에서 전체 항력 계수가 낮게 나타났다.

Considerable fuel in cars is consumed by air resistance. The flow resistance against the air stream was analyzed by flow analysis near the passenger car body. In this study, the models were used were cars available on the real market. Two velocities entered into inlet plane of flow were 80 km/h and 110 km/h using the flow analysis of CFX. As the study method, the velocity of air flow near the car and the pressure on the rear part of car body were investigated at the driving of car. The shapes of the study models were models 1 and 2, and the flow streams were four cases of 1, 2, 3, and 4. In case 1 among the four cases, the maximum pressure ($1.017{\times}10^5Pa$) on the rear part was highest and the maximum velocity (43.81m/s) of air flow near car body was fastest. The air drag force in the case of high speed (110km/h) driving a passenger car was higher than that of a normal driving speed (80km/h). The drag force at wide section area of the car body becomes higher than the narrow section area. The shape of the car body can be effectively designed to reduce the air resistance using the study results of this analysis.

An OWC-type Wave Energy Conversion passes through 3 steps energy conversion process. This paper deal with the internal oscillating flow and effect of shape of air chamber and duct at setting place of turbine by numerical analysis using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. Air chamber and duct in OWC-type wave energy conversion are adopting sudden expanded and contracted form for high-efficiency. So, whole oscillating flow from OWC-type chamber to outlet duct through duct was solved by steady and unsteady analysis in order that flow efficiency of air chamber and duct was made better.

A three-dimensional model has been developed for pulverized coal combusters and gasifiers. Coal devolatilization, heterogeneous char oxidation, gas particle interchange, radiation, gas phase oxidation, primary and secondary stream mixing, and heat losses are considered. A finite difference method was used to solve the ordinary non-linear differential equations. The effects of primary and secondary stream flow ratio and coal particle size are investigated.
