본 논문에서는 비정상 상태의 비압축성 유동장을 해석하기 위하여 물체맞춤격자방법이 아닌 가상경계법을 사용하였다. 가상경계법은 구조격자를 사용하여 구조물 경계면에서 Momentum Forceing을 사용하여 가상의 경계를 만들어 유동장을 해석하는 방법이다. Navier-Stoke 방정식의 수치 이산화 방법으로 Kim et al(1985)이 사용한 Fractional Step Method(FSM)을 사용하였다. 시간에 대하여 semi-implicit FSM를 사용하였고, 확산항에 대해서는 2차 정확도의 Crank-Nicolson Method를 대류항은 3차 정확도의 Runge-Kutta Method를 사용 하였다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용한 유동장 해석이 교량 단면에 대하여 수치해석이 가능한지 검토하였다. 가상경계법은 현재 많은 연구가 유선형의 구조물에 대하여 수행되어 오고 있다. 교량 단면과 같은 각 진 구조물에 대한 검토는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 가상경계법에서 다루고 있는 구조물 경계면에서의 Momentum Forcing 방법이 유선형의 구조물에 맞추어 연구가 진행되었기 때문이다. 먼저 본 연구의 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 원형 실린더에 대하여 가상경계법을 적용한 결과 Re 수 200에서 Strouhal Number, 양력계수, 항력계수를 이전 연구 결과와 비교하였다. Williamson(1988)과 Zhang(1995)의 연구결과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 교량의 단면과 같은 각진 구조물(Bluff Body)에 대하여 가상경계법 적용하였다. 본 논문의 연구에서 평가 대상으로 하고 있는 2차원 교량 단면에 대하여 유동장 해석을 하였다. 본 논문에서 정량적인 유체력과 유동장에 대한 비교 및 검토가 이루어지지 못했지만 압력장과 유선의 형태가 이론적인 값을 벗어나지 않고 있는 것으로 확인 되었다. Re 수 2700에서 전산 해석을 수행하였으며, 교량 단면 주위의 압력계수와 박리현상 그리고 후류에서의 Vortex shedding 현상이 모두 적절한 분포가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 가상경계법을 이용하여 각진 구조물에 대한 주위 유동장해석에 대한 가능성을 확인하였으며, 풍동실험과의 결과비교를 통하여 가상경계법을 이용하여 교량 단면 주위의 유동장 해석 결과를 정량적으로 비교할 것이다.

The flow around free end of a finite circular cylinder (FC) embedded in an atmospheric boundary layer has been investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out in a closed-return type subsonic wind tunnel with varying aspect ratio of the finite cylinder mounted vertically on a flat plate. The wakes behind a 2-D cylinder and a finite cylinder located in a uniform flow were measured for comparison. Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was about Re=20,000. A hot-wire anemometer was employed to measure the wake velocity and the mean pressure distributions on the cylinder surface were also measured. The flow past the FC free end shows a complicated three-dimensional wake structure and flow phenomenon is quite different from that of 2-D cylinder. The three-dimensional flow structure was attributed to the downwashing counter rotating vortices separated from the FC free end. As the FC aspect ratio decreases, the vortex shedding frequency decreases and the vortex formation length increases compared to that of 2-D cylinder. Due to the descending counter-rotating twin-vortex, near the FC free end, regular vortex shedding from the cylinder is suppressed and the vortex formation region is hardly distinguished. Around the center of the wake, the mean velocity for the FC located in atmospheric boundary layer has large velocity deficit compared to that of uniform flow.

Computational studies of accelerating flow around 2D Circular Cylinder was performed to investigate characteristics of wake field and drag forces. Previous studies had revealed that drag on the cylindrical body in accelerating flow is much greater than that in the flow with constant velocity; however, the underlying physics on the drag increase has not been clearly investigated. In order to investigate the drag increase and its relationship with wake development, this study employed a finite-volume based CFD code, Fluent 13.0 with k-ω SST model for turbulence effects. Inflows are modeled with varied accelerations from 0.4905 to 9.81m/s². The drag computed in the present study is in good agreement with previous studies, and clearly shows the increase compared to the drag on the body in the flow with constant velocity. The results also show that drag crisis observed at high Reynolds number in the case of the flow with constant velocity is also found in the case of accelerating flow. The analysis for wake and recirculation length shows that conventional vortex shedding does not occur even at high Reynolds number and the drag increase is larger at higher acceleration.

Recently, the international community, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), has strengthened regulations on air pollution emissions of ships, and eco-friendly ships are actively being developed to reduce exhaust gas emissions. Among them, rotor sail (RS), a wind-assisted ship propulsion system, is attracting attention again. RS is a cylindrical device installed on the ship deck, that generates hydrodynamic lift using a magnus effect. This is a next generation eco-friendly auxiliary propulsion technology, and Enercon company, which developed RS-applied ships, announced that fuel savings of more than 30% are possible. In this study, optimal installation conditions such as RS spacing and arrangement type were selected when multiple RSs were installed on ships. AR=5.1, SR=1.0, and D_e/D was fixed at 2.0 according to the RS arrangement, and the wind direction was considered only for the unidirectional +y-axis. Regarding arrangement conditions, five conditions were set at 3D intervals in the +x-axis direction from 3D to 15D and five conditions in the +y-axis direction from 5D to 25D. C_L, C_D and aerodynamic efficiency (C_L/C_D) were compared according to the square(□) and diamond(◇) shape arrangements. Consequently, the effect of RS on the longitudinal distance was not significantly different. However, in the case of RS flow characteristics according to the transverse distance, the interaction effect of RS was the greatest when the two RSs almost matched the wind direction. In the case of the RS flow characteristics according to the arrangement, notably, when the wind blew in the forward (0°) direction, the diamond (◇) arrangement was least affected by the backward flow between RSs.
