A curvilinear hydrodynamic three-dimensional model is presented for the study of wind-driven circulation in a shallow lake. Numerical results are compared with field data. Thermal stratification effects were found to be critical to the successful simulation of circulation under increasing winds. When there ate insufficient meteorological data, the so-called inverse method can be used for the estimation of heat flux.

Hydraulic performance of the 1 inch ball valve have been analyzed based on the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis and an experiment. The experimental test rig of the 1 inch ball valve has been developed to investigate pressure drop for the 1 inch ball valve. The numerical model, which has reliability and effectiveness, has been constructed through the grid dependency test and validation with the results of the experiment. Shear stress transport turbulence model has been used to enhance an accuracy of the turbulence prediction in the pipeline and ball valve, respectively. Effects of the ball valve angle on the flow characteristics and friction performance have been evaluated.

An optimization procedure for the design of a ventilation axial-flow fan is presented in this paper. Flow analyses of the preliminary fan are performed by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations via a finite-volume solver with the shear-stress transport turbulence model as a turbulence closure. Three variables, the hub-to-tip ratio and the stagger angles at the mid and tip spans, are selected for the optimization. The Latin-hypercube sampling method as a design-of-experiments technique is used to generate twenty-five design points within the design space. and the weighted average surrogate models, WTA1, WTA2, and WTA3, are applied for find optimal designs. The results show that the efficiency is considerably enhanced.

In semi-enclosed shallow sea areas typified by the Yellow sea and the East China Sea, currents and sea surface variations are predominantly tidal. During the recent years two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic model of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea has been developed, based on the vertically-integrated equations of motion and continuity, capable of reproducing amplitudes and phases of the principal components of tides to satisfiable accuracy. As a subsequent development a three-dimensional hydrodynamical nymerical model covering the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea has been formulated to investigate the vertical distribution of horizontal tidal current and the response of the continented to investigate the vertical distribution of horizontal tidal current and the response of the continental shelf sea to steady uniform wind stress field imposed over the surface. Features of the M2 tidal current and the wind-induced three-dimensional current structure determined from the computation have been examined and discussed.

석탄화력발전소에 정착되는 고속분립체 이송용 곡관의 내마모성 향상에 관한 수치해석 및 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 22.5$^{\circ}$와 90$^{\circ}$ 곡관을 모델로 하여, 분립체에 의한 곡관의 마모를 감소시키기 위해 유동방향이 전환되는 부분에 와류장이 형성되도록 곡관의 단면형상을 변화시켰다. 삼차원, 난류유동장의 지배방정식을 유한체적법으로 이산화시키고, SIMPLE 알고리즘을 이용하여 해를 구하였다. 수치해석을 통해 마모감소를 위한 새로운 형상의 곡관을 설계하였다. 새로운 형상의 곡관을 제작, 운전중인 국내 화력발전소에 장착하여 마모실험을 수행하였으며 내마모성이 매우 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

Most of numerical models for studying tide-induced residual currents (TIRC) were to dimensional depth averaged models which were confined to anlayze the horizontal structure of TIRC. In this study, TIRC occurring around a circular island was simulated with the three-dimensional spectral model which employed by the finite difference method in the horizontal direction and the expansion of basis function in the vertical direction. The main results of numerical experiment can be summarized as follows. Firstly. both topographic and nonlinear effect played an important role in the generation of TIRC. Secondly, when the currents were rotary clockwise. the horizontal structure of TIRC appeared to rotate in the same direction. These results were consistent with those of previous studies of two-dimensional numerical models.

압력기반의 유한체적법과 k-$\varepsilon$난류모델을 이용하여 신생아 보육기 내의 삼차원 정상난류유동해석과 대류현상에 의한 열전달을 해석하였다. 보육기 내의 주된 공기유동은 입구에서 유입된 공기가 보육기 위쪽을 지나 출구로 이동하며 각진 구석에서 작은 와류들이 관찰되었다. 보육기의 입구부를 제외한 대부분에서의 유속은 0.1m/s 이하로 나타났으며, 신생아의 다리부분에서의 속도가 머리부분보다 다소 크게 관찰되었다. 입구쪽의 온도가 출구쪽의 온도보다 1~2$^{\circ}C$ 높게 나타났으며 속도 크기가 큰 다리부분에서의 온도가 머리 또는 목부분보다 다소 낮았다. 보육기 내의 온도변화는 약3~4$^{\circ}C$로 다소 크게 나타났는데 이는 입구에서 유입된 공기가 상벽과 직각으로 만나며, 보육기 외벽의 각진 구석부분에 의한 영향으로 생각된다. 따라서 입구속도를 적절히 줄이거나 유선형의 유동을 갖도록 설계하여 열손실을 최소화한다면 보다 효율적인 보육기가 될 것으로 생각된다.

This study employed a 3-D numerical analysis based on the distinct element method to estimate the strength and deformability of a Cretaceous biotite granitic rock mass at Gijang, Busan, Korea. A workflow was proposed to evaluate the scale effect and the representative elementary volume (REV) of mechanical properties for fractured rock masses. Directional strength and deformability parameters such as block strength, deformation modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus were estimated for a discrete fracture network (DFN) in a cubic block the size of the REV. The size of the mechanical REV for fractured rock masses in the study area was determined to be a 15 m cube. The mean block strength and mean deformation modulus of the DFN cube block were found to be 52.8% and 57.7% of the intact rock's strength and Young's modulus, respectively. A constitutive model was derived for the study area that describes the linear-elastic and orthotropic mechanical behavior of the rock mass. The model is expected to help evaluate the stability of tunnels and underground spaces through equivalent continuum analysis.

In this study, the influence of mass flow rate on the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine nozzle stage is investigated. A realistic three-dimensional numerical model, which is based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, is developed for the steam phase. The comprehensive conservation laws and a kinetic model for steam are investigated. With two different models for the three-dimensional geometry of the nozzle stage, the pressure and temperature distributions, velocity, Mach number. and Markov energy loss coefficient are calculated. A maximum efficiency of 96.66％ is found at a mass flow rate of 0.9 kg/s in model A. In model B, a maximum efficiency of 97.32％ is found at a rate of 1.6 kg/s. It is determined that the isentropic nozzle efficiency increases as the Markov energy loss coefficient decreases through a nearly linear relationship.

Numerical studies were performed to investigate the three-dimensional front structure and dynamics features of detonation wave propagating in a circular tube such as Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE). By carrying out a series of parametric study using one step irreversible Arrhenius kinetics model, mechanisms of the three-dimensional front structure were investigated for two-, three-, four and six-cell mode detonations. A comparison with two-dimensional results, the effects of slapping transverse waves in radial direction were confirmed. In the all muti-cell modes, the detonation front structures and smoked-records on the wall are formed by the propagation of transverse waves along the wall in clockwise and counter-clockwise while the slapping move in radial direction. And the strength of reflected waves on the curved wall is changed by the multi-dimensional confinement effect.
