RANS computational analysis was performed on the head of the launch vehicle including the hammerhead nose pairing in the supersonic regime. The two-dimensional axisymmetric analysis was performed by using laminar, fully turbulent and transition models and compared with the experimental data. It was observed that different flow phenomena occurred depending on the Reynolds number. Under the high Reynolds number condition, the boundary layer becomes turbulent, which is not separated from the surface of the launch vehicle. With the low Reynolds number condition, laminar separation bubble was produced due to the separation and reattachment of the boundary layer on the expansion-compression edge of the hammerhead type nose fairing. The three-dimensional computations with the angle of attack showed a fully detached vortical structure due to the laminar separation bubble. It is proved that the turbulent transition should be considered to predict the separation bubble with the Reynolds number.

Various types of flow conditions are developed in the region just downstream of hydraulic structures such as weir and drop structures. One of distinct flow conditions occurred downstream of drop structures is the wave type flow with undular hydraulic jump formation. We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of a wave type flow formed downstream of a stepped weir which were experimentally investigated by Kang et al. (2010). The turbulent flow over the weir structure is modeling using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulation employing the Spalart-Allmaras one equation model and the detached eddy simulation. Numerical modeling and the performance of turbulence modeling approaches are evaluated by comparing with the experimental measurements in terms of the free surface variation, the shapes and sizes of undular wave, roller near at free surface, recirculation zone near the channel bottom downstream of the structures, and streamwise velocity profiles at selected longitudinal locations.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우로 도시홍수의 피해가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 인구가 밀집하고 교통량이 많은 대도시의 경우 동일한 호우에 대하여 녹지나 농경지 등에 비해 그 피해가 더 심각하다. 일반적으로 홍수 피해의 직접원인은 외수로 인한 피해와 내수로 인한 피해로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 외수피해는 주로 소하천 및 지천의 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등으로 발생한 것이며 내수피해는 배수로, 하수도 및 펌프장의 내수배제능력 부족이 주된 원인이다. 따라서 도시홍수를 효과적으로 방어하기 위해서는 우선적으로 내배수시설의 성능개선이 선행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 내배수 시설의 성능 개선을 위해서는 현재 기 설치되어 있는 빗물펌프장의 설계 및 내배수 효율에 대한 성능평가가 필요하다. 하지만 현재 국내 펌프설계기준에는 빗물펌프장의 설계 및 운영에 대한 구체적인 성능 평가 방법이 제시되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 만약, 펌프 흡입수조 및 흡입파이프의 형상이 적절하게 설계되지 못한다면 물이 파이프 입구로 부드럽게 흡입되지 못하고 볼텍스 및 스월이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 볼텍스 및 스월은 펌프 입구 쪽으로 물 뿐 아니라 공기를 함께 흡입시킴으로써 펌프의 효율저하, 소음, 진동을 발생시키며 펌프 파손의 원인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 펌프를 설치하기 전 펌프 설치 후에 발생되는 펌프 흡입부 주변의 흐름특성 변화 및 흐름특성이 구조물에 미치는 영향 등을 고려하기 위하여 수리모형실험이 필요한데, 수리모형실험은 많은 시간과 비용이 들어가기 때문에 이를 대체할 수 있는 방안이 요구된다. 그런 이유로 최근에는 수리모형실험 대신 수치모의를 이용하는 경우가 많다. 수치모의의 결과는 수리실험의 결과와 비교, 검증을 거쳐 신뢰성을 얻는다. 본 연구에서는, 3차원 수치모형의 다양한 난류모델을 이용하여 흡입파이프로 물이 유입될 때 흡입부 내, 외의 수심 별 유속 변화를 분석하고, 그 결과를 이용하여 FLOW 3D 모형의 검증을 수행하였다.

Eyer since the Prandtl's experiment in 1934 and X-21 airjet test in 1950 both attempting to reduce drag, it was found that controlling the velocities of surface for extremely fast-moving object in the air through suction or injection was highly effective and active method. To obtain the right amount of suction or injection, however, repetitive trial-and error parameter test has been still used up to now. This study started from an attempt to decide optimal amount of suction and injection of incompressible Navier-Stokes by employing optimization techniques. However, optimization with traditional methods are very limited, especially when Reynolds number gets high and many unexpected variables emerges. In earlier study, we have proposed an algorithm to solve this problem by using step by step method in analysis and introducing SQP method in optimization. In this study, we propose more effective and robust algorithm and techniques in solving flow optimization problem.

Various types of flow patterns around the stepped weir and spillway, such as the skimming flow over such structures and the wave-type flow with a standing undular hydraulic jump and roller downstream of the structures, are developed in open channels. Unsteady three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out using a hybrid RANS-LES turbulence modeling approach and the volume of fluid method for resolving free surface fluctuations to represent the turbulent flow including the skimming flow and wave-type flow over a stepped weir installed in a rectangular channel. The comparison of numerical results with an existing experimental measurement reveals that the present numerical simulations reasonably well reproduce the turbulent flow passing the stepped weir, in terms of time-averaged velocity profiles at selected locations downstream of the weir, flow topology characterized by the wave-type and skimming flows, the maximum height and length of the standing wave and the length of reattachment of recirculating zone. The numerical result further elucidates the distinct flow behaviors of the wave-type and skimming flow by presenting instantaneous intense variations of free surface and velocity vectors, the distributions of Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy and three-dimensional complex features of coherent structures and total pressure distribution.

연안 및 해안공학의 발달과 더불어 부유식방파제의 기능적 효율성이 중요시 되고 있다. 흔히 사용되어오던 착저식방파제는 설치에 많은 시간과 경비가 소요되고 환경 및 생태계에 많은 변화를 줄 수 있으며, 설치 예정지의 수리학적 특성 등의 여건에 많은 제약을 받는 단점이 있다. 부유식방파제는 일본 등의 선진국을 중심으로 활용이 잦아지고 있는 방파제로서 수면 위에 설치되기 때문에 수중 생태계에 미치는 영향이 적은 친환경방파제이다. 또한 기존에 시공된 중력식방파제와는 달리 수심에 제한을 덜 받고, 공사기간이 짧기 때문에 경제적이다. 실제 시공사례로는 2007년 마산 원전항에 완공된 부유식방파제가 대표적이며, 지금까지도 부유식방파제에 대한 여러 연구자들의 관심이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 방파제뿐만 아니라 우리나라처럼 국토의 면적이 작은 지역에서 증가하는 해상물동량을 소화하기 위해서 부유식방파제 등을 이용한 항만의 시공이 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 부유식방파제의 분석적인 측면에 있어서 수치해석은 파랑과 구조물의 상호작용을 해석하는 데 한계가 있으며, 부유식방파제 단면형상을 정확하게 재현할 수 없으므로, 수리모형실험을 통한 부유식방파제의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 최근 기술의 발달로 인한 유동장 해명이 가능해 졌으며, PIV(Particle image velocimetry) 및 LDV시스템은 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 특히, LDV시스템은 측정하려는 한 지점에 대하여 레이저 빔을 단면(Cross-section)으로 만들고 입자의 산란광을 후방산란(Back scatter)으로 받아서 도플러 효과를 이용, 속도에 대한 주파수를 획득하며, 유속을 측정하는 장비로 매우 높은 정확도와 비접촉식 이라는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, PIV 시스템에 비하여 측정시간이 오래 걸리는 반면 데이터를 가공하지 않고 활용할 만큼 높은 정확성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통하여 단독형, 2열형 및 3열형 부유식방파제의 형상, 흘수 및 거리를 변화시키며 유동장을 수집하였으며, 방파성능에 따른 와의 생성 및 소멸시점에서의 파랑변형과의 관계를 분석하였다. 방파제의 형상과 흘수를 달리하여 수리모형실험을 수행하였으며, 와류의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 연직 2차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식 모형을 이용하여 수치모형실험을 수행하였으며, 수치모형실험 결과와 수리모형실험 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 후방방파제에서 발생되는 파랑은 입사파의 주기가 길어질수록 상대적으로 커지는 현상을 보였으며, 흘수심이 깊어질수록 전방방파제 입사 면에서 자유 수면이 높게 관측되는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 비교적 장주기파랑에 해당하는 입사파랑의 경우 전달파고비 산정에 있어서 설계기준인 0.5를 대다수 초과하는 반면, 3열형 구조에서는 대부분이 0.5이하로 상당히 높은 방파성능 결과를 나타내었다.

Paddlewheel-driven circulation in a culture pond has been simulated based on the depth integrated 2 dimensional hydrodynamic model. Acceleration by paddlewheel is expressed as shaft force divided by water mass discharged by paddlewheel blades. The model has been calibrated and applied to culture ponds as following steps:- i) The model predicted velocities at every 10 m along longitudinal direction from the paddlewheel. The model was calibrated comparing the results with the measured values at mass correction factor $\alpha$ and dimensionless eddy viscosity constant $\gamma$, respectively, in a range $15\~20$ and 6. ii) Wind shear stress was simulated under conditions of direction $0^{\circ}C,\;90^{\circ}C\;and\;180^{\circ}C$ and speed 0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 m/s. Change rate of current speed was <$1\%$ at wind in parallel or opposite direction to the paddlewheel-driven jet flow, while $4\%$ at orthogonal angle. iii) The model was then applied to 2 culture ponds located at the Western coast of Korea. The measured and predicted currents for the ponds were compared using the regression analysis. Analysis of flow direction and speed showed correlation coefficients 0.8928 and 0.6782 in pond A, 0.8539 and 0.7071 in pond B, respectively. Hence, the model is concluded to accurately predict circulation driven by paddlewheel such that it can be a useful tool to provide pond management strategy relating to paddlewheel operation and water quality.

Heat exchanger tube array in a heat recovery steam generator is exposed to the hot exhaust gas flow and it could cause the flow induced vibration, which could damage the heat exchanger tube array. It is needed for the structural safe operation of the heat exchanger to establish the characteristics of flow induced vibration in the tube array. The researches for the flow induced vibration of typical heat exchangers have been conducted and the nondimensional PSD(Power Spectral Density) function with the Strouhal number, fD/U, had been derived by experimental method. The present study examined the results of the previous experimental researches for the nondimensional PSD characteristics by CFD analysis and the basis for the application of flow induced vibration to the heat recovery steam generator tube array would be prepared from the present CFD analysis. For the previous mentioned purpose, the present CFD analysis introduced a single circular cylinder and calculated with the unsteady laminar flow over the cylinder. The characteristics of vortex shedding and lift fluctuation over the cylinder was investigated. The derived nondimensional PSD was compared with the results of the previous experimental researches and the characteristics of lift PSD over a single circular cylinder was established from the present CFD study.

Generally, a ${\pi}$-type girder composed of two I-type girders is known to have a significant disadvantage in wind resistance design because of aerodynamic instability. A representative bridge for this girder was Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Since Tacoma Narrows Bridge had very low stiffness of the bridge structure and its cross-section shape had aerodynamic instability, the bridge collapsed after severe torsion and vibration events in 19m/s wind speed. Aerodynamic vibration can be avoided by enhancing structural stiffness and damping factor and conducting a study of cross-section shapes. This study shows the angle of attack for the four-span cable stayed bridge having ${\pi}$-type cross-section and describes the aerodynamic characteristics of the changed cross-section with aerodynamic vibration damping additions, by carrying out two-dimension vibration tests. As a result of uniform flow and turbulent flow, the study shows that because the basic ${\pi}$-type cross-section alone can have efficient wind resistant stability, there is no need to have additional aerodynamic damping equipment. Since this four 230m-main-span bridge has a large frequency and also has a big stiffness compared to other bridges containing a similar cross-section, it has aerodynamic stability under the design wind speed.

sump pump is a system that draws in water that is stored in a dam or reservoir. They are used to pump large amounts of water for cooling systems in large power plants, such as thermal and nuclear plants. However, if the flow and sump pump ratio are small, the flow rate increases around the inlet port. This causes a turbulent vortex or swirl flows. The turbulent flow reduces the performance and can cause failure. Various methods have been devised to solve the problem, but a correct solution has not been found for low water level. The most efficient solution is to install an anti-vortex device (AVD) or increase the length of the sump inlet, which makes the flow uniform. This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the flow characteristics in a sump pump for different sump inlet lengths and AVD types. Modeling was performed in three stages based on the pump intake, sump, and pump. For accurate analysis, the grid was made denser in the intake part, and the grid for the sump pump and AVD were also dense. 1.2-1.5 million grid elements were generated using ANSYS ICEM-CFD 14.5 with a mixture of tetra and prism elements. The analysis was done using the SST turbulence model of ANSYS CFX14.5, a commercial CFD program. The conditions were as follows: H.W.L 6.0 m, L.W.L 3.5, Qmax 4.000 kg/s, Qavg 3.500 kg/s Qmin 2.500 kg/s. The results of analysis by the vertex angle and velocity distribution are as follows. A sump pump with an Ext E-type AVD was accepted at a high water level. However, further studies are needed for a low water level using the Ext E-type AVD as a base.
