물 속에서 고속으로 유영하는 상당수의 어류는 긴 부리 모양의 주둥이를 가진다. 대표적으로 지구상 가장 빠른 물고기인 돛새치가 있다. 이러한 사실은 이 독특한 형상과 고속운동의 상관관계에 대해 학구적 호기심을 자아냈고 그에 따라 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 돛새치, 청새치들의 2차원 형상을 가지고 부리의 존재 유무가 항력에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 더 나아가 미사일의 spike가 항력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 또한 부리가 방향전환 시 기동성 증진에도 기여하는지를 알아보았다. 해석을 위해 Kflow Edison_13와 2D_Comp_P 해석자를 활용하여 동일 유동조건에서 항력계수를 비교하였다. 그리고 돛새치가 방향 전환할 때 발생하는 모멘트계수를 얻기 위해 2D_Incomp_P 해석자를 활용하였다.

Regenerative cooling passage to guarantee the thermal survivability in high performance rocket engine combustors could have complex configurations of the branching/merging of channels and flow turning, etc. By applying the classical hydraulic coefficients which can be found in the literature according to the flow conditions, hydraulic characteristics in regenerative cooling passages can be obtained effectively through dividing the pressure loss into friction loss and local resistance loss. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained by comparing the present results with experimental measurement of water flow test. In addition, the present results were in good agreement with CFD results when the actual coolant, kerosene was used. Therefore, the application of the present method is expected to be useful to design regeneratively cooled combustors.

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.

In this paper, reorientation based on angular momentum exchange is applied for a bias momentum stabilized satellite, which is equipped with a spherical fuel tank, and the effect of liquid slosh on the attitude properties such as inertia tensor and angular rate is investigated. In order to represent the slosh motion of liquid an equivalent mechanical model is adopted and full nonlinear equations of motion for three-body system are derived. Computer simulations are performed for several cases, which use the viscosity of liquid and the center location of the tank as input parameters, mainly in order to observe how the viscosity of liquid and the center location of the tank influence the spacecraft’s attitude. The investigation includes observing time-variations of the inertia tensor, especially presence of components of product of inertia during the maneuver.

Software has been developed for simulating particle dispersion in a circular pipe with sudden-expansion, which models the fuel feeding system of a combustor that uses metal powder like aluminum as fuel. The Lagrangian based discrete tracer point method was employed for a plug flow of particles that satisfies local turbulent velocity fluctuations. A radial velocity component was created to improve the flow turning outwards in the recirculation zone. The particle distribution patterns from both with and without the component were directly compared with the experiments near the reattachment.

A pair of two-way valves typically is used in automotive washing machines, where the water flow direction is frequently reversed and highly pressurized clean water is sprayed to remove the oil and dirt remaining on machined engine and transmission blocks. Although this valve system has been widely used because of its competitive price, its application is sometimes restricted by surging effects, such as pressure ripples occurring in rapid changes in water flow caused by inaccurate valve control. As an alternative, one three-way reversing valve can replace the valve system because it provides rapid and accurate changes to the water flow direction without any precise control device. However, a cavitation effect occurs because of the complicated bottom plug shape of the valve. In this study, the cavitation index and percent of cavitation (POC) were introduced to numerically evaluate fluid flows via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. To reduce the cavitation effect generated by the bottom plug, the optimal shape design was carried out through a parametric study, in which a simple computer-aided engineering (CAE) model was applied to avoid time-consuming CFD analysis and difficulties in achieving convergence. The optimal shape design process using full factorial design of experiments (DOEs) and an artificial neural network meta-model yielded the optimal waist and tail length of the bottom plug with a POC value of less than 30%, which meets the requirement of no cavitation occurrence. The optimal waist length, tail length and POC value were found to 6.42 mm, 6.96 mm and 27%, respectively.

Increasing of energy demand due to the rapid growth of global population and the development of world economy has inevitably resulted in the continuously increase of fossil fuel usage in the world. However, highly dependence on fossil fuels has necessarily brought about critical environmental issues and challenges such as severe air pollutions and rapid global warming. In order to settle these environmental and energy problems, clean energy generations in the conventional combustion processes have widely adapted in the world. In particular, novel thermochemical conversion processes such as pyrolysis and gasification have rapidly been applied for generating clean energy. Fluidized bed technologies having advantages such as various fuel use, easy continuous operation, high heat and material transfer, isothermal operation, and lower operation temperature are widely adopted and used because they are suitable for thermochemical energy conversion. The latest research trends and important findings in the thermo-chemical conversion process with fluidized bed technologies are summarized in this review. Also, the need for research such as layered materials and substances to reduce fine dust (biomass, natural resource waste, etc.) was suggested. Through this, it is intended to increase interest and understanding in fluidized bed technology and to present directions for solving future challenges in fluidized bed process technology development.

The efficiency of a catalytic converter depends on the flow distribution across a system's chemically active substrate. If irregularities or non-uniform flow patterns exist, the system's conversion efficiency decreases, whereas the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, it is important to analyze the internal flow of a catalytic converter. In this study, flow pattern measurements along the minor axis were recorded at the mid and exit planes of a ceramic honeycomb catalytic converter at flow rates of 37.8 l/s and 94.4 l/s. Flow distributions of the measurement plans were compared with an automotive company's computed velocity profiles. Measurements along the minor axis showed uneven velocity profiles. The ${\upsilon}$-velocity components between the honeycomb bricks were small but somewhat erratic opposite the intake side of the converter, however, they became flatter in measurements recorded near the intake entrance. For almost all velocity values, the computer model suggested velocities greater than the measured values.

본 연구는 "사이클론과 관성충돌 및 백필터의 제진원리를 일체화한 고효율 멀티 제진시스템의 최적화 설계를 위한 수치 해석적 연구(I) : 집진기 입구 최적화 설계"에 이은 일련의 연구로서 앞선 연구에서 도출된 사이클론부 하단 벤츄리(Venturi)에서의 강한 하향 기류의 가속에 따른 분진 재비산 가능성에 대한 추가적 검토를 위한 연구이다. 사이클론부를 통과한 기류가 상향 흐름으로 방향을 전환할때 좀 더 가속시켜 빠르게 곡률반경을 형성하여 조대 입자의 분리를 극대화시키기 위한 목적으로 사이클론부 하단을 벤츄리 형상으로 설계하였으나, 유동장 분석 결과 벤츄리를 통과한 처리가스 흐름이 가속되면서 호퍼 하단까지 약 4~5 m/s의 강한 하향 흐름을 형성하고 호퍼 하부의 말단 부근에서 상향 흐름으로 방향 전환을 하고 있는 것으로 예측됨에 따라 설계 의도와는 달리 벤츄리 설치시 호퍼 하단에 포집된 분진의 재비산을 예방하는데는 크게 역할을 하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.
