LES(Large eddy simulation) of breakup and atomization of a liquid jet into cross turbulent flow was performed. Two phase flow between a gas phase and a liquid phase was modeled by a mixed numerical scheme of both Eulerian and Lagrangian methods for gas and liquid phases respectively. The first and second breakup of liquid column was observed. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data for several variant of a liquid-gas momentum flux ratio by varying liquid injection velocities. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

Unsteady three-dimensional reacting flowfield generated by transverse hydrogen injection into a supersonic mainstream is numerically investigated using DES and finite-rate chemistry model. Comparisons are made with experimental results to investigate the turbulent reacting flow physics. The numerical OH distribution describes well the experimental OH-PLIF result, while the numerical ignition delay time shows some disparity due to the restricted available experimental data. The intermittency phenomena are identified by the comparative analysis between RANS and DES. Those effects are also quantified by the temperature distributions along streamlines and superimposed OH mass fraction along with time.

Unsteady 3D flowfields generated by transverse fuel injection into a supersonic mainstream are simulated with a DES turbulence model. Comparisons are made with experimental results in term of the temporal eddy position and eddy formation frequency. Results indicate that the DES model correctly predicts the convection characteristics of the large scale eddies. However, it is also observed that the numerical results slightly overpredict the eddy formation frequency.

공동 현상은 난류와 이상 유동으로 인해 그 해석에 어려움이 따르게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Pressure based 알고리즘을 이상 유동 포착 기법 중, volume fraction모델에 Kunz의 공동 현상 모델을 이용, 공동 현상을 해석할 수 있는 코드를 개발하였다. 이를 통해 2차원의 수중익 주위의 정상유동 해석을 통하여 수중익 주위의 압력 분포를 비교, 코드의 검증을 마쳤다. 또한 2차원 수중익 주위의 비정상 해석을 통해 재진입 영역의 발달에 따른 공동의 생성 및 붕괴를 모사하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다.

Unsteady three-dimensional flowfield generated by transverse fuel injection into a supersonic mainstream is simulated with a DES turbulence model. Comparisons are made with experimental results in terms of the temporal eddy position and eddy formation frequency. The vorticity field around the jet exit is also analyzed to understand the formation mechanism of the large eddy structures. Results indicate that the DES model correctly predicts the convection characteristics of the large scale eddies. However, it is also observed that the numerical results slightly over-predict the eddy formation frequency. The large eddy structures are generated as the counter-rotating vortices are detached alternately in the upstream recirculation region.

An analytical study has been performed to investigate the unsteady ignition characteristics of pulse combustion. In many combustion applications, strain rate of the flow can significantly affect the combustion features; ignition, extinction, and reignition. In the pulse combustion, two jets (hot combustion gases and fresh mixtures) coming from the opposite side of the combustor will collide in the combustor forming a stagnation region where the chemical reaction is suppressed by the strain rate until this becomes below the critical value. In this research, the method of large activation energy asymptotic is adopted with one step irreversible kinetics to examine the ignition response to the periodic variation of the strain rate of flow. The results show the variation of the maximum value of strain rate can determine whether the ignition or extinction occur.

왕복식엔진에서 연소과정은 실린더내 유체유동에 지배되므로 최적조건의 엔진설계를 위해서는 실린더내 유체유동을 효과적으로 이용하는 것이 필요하다. 연소과정에 중요한 영향을 미치는 압축말기 연소실내 난류강도는 흡입과정시 생성된 유동의 에너지가 압축과정을 거치면서 작은 스케일의 에디(eddy)로 깨지면서 발생된다. 연소과정시 이러한 에디들은 초기화염생성을 촉진 시키고 화염전파속도를 증진시키는 역할을 함으로써 실린더내 유체유동에 대한 이해증진을위해 실린더내 평균속도 및 난류유동을 측정하는 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 엔진유동은 매사이 클의 유동이 엄밀히 주기적인 운동을 하지 않고, 각 사이클의 유동이 비정상유동을 하며, 유동의 생성 및 소멸이 매우 짧은 특성을 가진다. 따라서 산란입자가 측정체적을 통과할 때 속도데이 터가 발생하는 LDV(laser Doppler velocimetry) 측정에 있어서 레이저빔의 산란광노이즈 감소와 산란입자의 효율적인 공급으로 데이터 발생률을 높이는 것이 어려운 점이다. 이 글에서는 엔진 유동의 LDV측정시 고려해야 할 문제점들, 실험장치구성, 그리고 데이터처리 방법과 주요측정 결과에 대해 본 연구팀에서 지금까지 수행한 연구결과를 토대로 하여 기술하고자 한다.

Large Eddy Simulation(LES) has been conducted to insight interaction effects of turbulent flow and chemical reaction of a lean-Premixed swirl combustor. The unsteady turbulent flame is carefully simulated so that the motion of flow and flame can be characterized in detail. Fuel lumps escaping from the primary combustion zone move downstream and consequently produce local hot spots conveying large vortical structures in the azimuthal direction. The correlation between pressure oscillation and unsteady heat release is examined by the spatial and temporal Rayleigh parameter.

In the present article, we investigate numerically turbulent flow of air through compound rectangular channels. Large eddy simulation(LES) is employed for unsteady turbulence modeling. LES gives better predictions for the axial mean velocity distribution than those of other turbulent models. Strong large-scale quasi-periodic flow oscillations are observed in most of the geometries investigated. Such large-scale flow oscillations in compound rectangular channels are similar to the quasi-periodic flow pulsation through the gaps between fuel rod bundle in nuclear reactor. It exists in any longitudinal connecting gap between two flow channels. The frequency of this flow oscillation is determined by the geometry of the gap. The large scale cross motions through the rectangular compound channels induce significant heat transfer enhancement of the compound channel flow.
