The present simulation model relies on a new approach of the heavy particle motion in a turbulent flow considering the time and space correlation to the Lagrangian point of view. The turbulent field is, here, assumed that its characteristic scales are random and follow a Poisson's distribution. Using this model, we have computed the trajectory of each particle, that is, its velocity and position at each time in order to study the dispersion of particles in a grid turbulent flow. The computed results have been compared to the corresponding experimental data. Due to the complex mechanism of turbulence and the theoretically and experimentally lacking information, we had to make some assumptions for simplifying the situation, but we have found the good agreement between simulated and measured results. In particular, the application of the present method on the Lagrangian correlation of particle provides an interesting alternative to the usual computational methods.

A numerical simulation has been performed for isothermal and reacting flows in an exisymmetric, bluff-body research combustor. The present formulation is based on the density-weighted averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with a k-epsilon. turbulence model and a modified eddy-breakup combustion model. The PISO algorithm is employed for solution of thel Navier-Stokes system. Comparison between measurements and predictions are made for a centerline axial velocities, location of stagnation points, strength of recirculation zone, and temperature profile. Even though the numerical simulation gives acceptable agreement with experimental data in many respects, the present model is defictient in predicting the recoveryt rate of a central near-wake region, the non-isotropic turbulence effects, and variation of turbulent Schmidt number. Several possible explanations for these discrepancies have been discussed.

Coronary arteries are subjected to very different flow conditions compared to other arteries in systemic blood circulation. We Performed a computational fluid dynamic research to investigate influence of such flow conditions in coronary arteries on development and progress of atherosclerosis in the same. The results showed big differences in the flow field of the coronary artery compared to the abdominal and femoral arteries. The coronary artery showed higher wall shear stresses due to the small vessel diameter. On the other hand, it showed only one vortex distal to the stenosis throat during a whole pulse cycle. However. several vortices were observed in the abdominal and femoral arteries in both proximal and distal sides of the stenosis throat The wall shear stresses and extent of recirculation area were increased with impedance phase angle increasing toward more negative values. Therefore, cardiac contraction and the negative impedance phase angle as large as -110。 may induce a flow field that accelerates atherosclerosis.

일반적으로 건축물의 설계시 풍동 실험을 통한 풍환경의 평가를 수행하고 있으며, 이는 환경 영향 평가법에서 정한 건축 사업 시행 시 수반되어야 할 자연환경, 생활환경 그리고 사회경제환경의 영향 평가의 일환으로 실시되고 있다. 그러나, 풍동 실험의 경우 여러 가지 현실적 제약조건으로 설계와 실험의 피드백 (Feedback)이 원활하지 못하며, 특히 대상 건축물이 공장과 같이 대기 오염원이 되는 경우 실험은 더욱 어려운 형편이다. 이에 대한 보완책으로 전산 유체 역학을 이용한 건축물의 풍압 해석에 의한 풍하중 추정이나 인접 지형-지물의 영향을 고려한 건축물 주위의 풍환경 평가가 있다. 전산 모사에 의해 풍동 실험의 미비점을 보완하고, 보다 상세한 정보를 확보함으로써 건축물의 구조적 안전성의 증대와 환경 피해 감소를 기할 수 있다. 그러나 복잡한 지형-지물이나 건축물 주위의 풍환경에 대한 전산 모사는 주로 두 가지의 기술적 어려움을 수반하게 되다. 그 중 하나는 고정 경계면을 이루는 형상의 복잡성으로 인해 기존에 많이 이용하고 있는 Body-fitted 격자계를 이용하는 경우, 격자 생성 과정이 매우 복잡하고 어려울 뿐 만 아니라 생성된 격자가 주로 비정렬 (unstructured) 특성을 갖게 되어 수치해석 과정의 효율을 저하시키는 요인이 되며, 격자의 형상도 수치해석의 수렴성을 저하시키는 예가 많다. 다른 어려움으로 풍환경은 전형적인 난류 유동장으로서 난류의 전산 해석은 아직도 해결하지 못한 부분이 많다는 점이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 복잡한 지형-지물이나 건축물의 풍하중과 풍환경의 전산 모사 기술 확보를 위하여 수행중인 연구의 일환으로 물체 형상의 기하학적 복잡성의 극복을 위한 가상경계법 (Immersed Boundary Method)과 난류 유동장의 물리적 엄밀성을 높이기 위한 다와동 모사 (Large Eddy Simulation)을 이용한 물체 형상과 무관한 유동장 해석 기술 개발에 대하여 다루고자 한다. 먼저 최근에 유동 해석에 이용되는 방법인 가상경계법(IBM)은 물체를 포함한 전체 전산 영역을 직교 좌표계에 의해 이산화하고, 유동장내 존재하는 물체의 표면에서의 점착 조건을 만족시키기 위하여 지배 방정식에 적절한 외력을 추가로 고려하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용하여 경계층에 위치한 건물 형상의 각진 물체 주위 사이에 형성되는 공동 내부의 비정상 유속 및 압력에 대한 전산 해석을 수행하고, 풍상측 전면에 형성되는 경계층에 의한 영향을 분석하였다.

Hysteresis phenomena in fluid flow systems are frequently encountered in many industrial and engineering applications and mainly appear during the transient processes of change of the pressure ratio. Shock-containing flow field in supersonic nozzles is typically subject to such hysteresis phenomena, but associated flow physics is not yet understood well. In the present study, experimental work has been carried out to investigate supersonic nozzle flows during the transient processes of change in the nozzle pressure ratio. Time-dependent surface wall pressures were measured by a multiple of pressure transducers and the flow field was visualized using a nano-spark Schlieren optical method. The results obtained show that the hysteresis phenomenon is strongly dependent on the nozzle geometry as well as the time scale of the change of pressure ratio.

입자화상 처리기법은 유체역학 분야의 정량적 유동가시화에 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 회전 유동의 측면 사진을 찍을 때, 측정부의 볼록면 때문에 그 영상에서 광학적 변형이 일어나게 된다. 이러한 변형은 측정부의 형상은 물론 회전유동의 방향에 의해서도 큰 영향을 받는다. 정확한 유동장을 얻기 위해서 이러한 변형이 적절한 방법에 의하여 교정된다. 교정한 실험 데이터를 수치해석 결과와 비교해 보면 정량적으로 잘 맞는 것을 알 수 있다.

Physical characteristics of a magneto-rheological(MR) fluid can be influenced by a magnetic field. In the present study, the behaviors of MR fluid are visualized and the shear stresses are measured under the magnetic field for density 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 $g/cm^3$, and viscosity 100, 1000 and 10000cp. When the magnetic field is applied, particles of MR fluid are arranged along lines of magnetic field. It is observed that the flow pattern of MR fluid under the magnetic field is different from that of MR fluid without the magnetic field. Shear stress of MR fluids under the magnetic field changes significantly. Shear stress by the magnetic field increases the shape of a quadratic equation. When the density changes from $1300kg/m^3$ to $1700kg/m^3$ at 2.0A, the shear stress increases about 33%.

A numerical simulation on a primary calcinator of porcelain was performed with using Fluent to calculate the heat efficiency by studying velocity vector and temperature profile according to variables such as the location of outlet and porcelain. Control-Volume based Finite Difference Method and Up-wind scheme are used for discretization of differential equation. SIMPLEC Algorithm and standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model are selected to resolve the pressure-velocity coupling and the turbulent. The result of simulation showed that the whole velocity vector field in a calcinator was varied greatly according to the location of outlet. But the whole temperature profile at each zone was still high regardless of the location of outlet because of the radiation. But the temperature of a case with a outlet at sidepart of preheating or cooling zone was little high compared to the case with a outlet on the top of preheating zone. The velocity vector field and temperature profile in a calcinator were almost not affected by the location of porcelain, but the temperature inside a porcelain was much affected according to the place where it was located. The heat efficiency in a calcinator was 44.6% and the gas temperature in the outlet was about 1000 K.

Noise pollution poses significant challenges to human well-being and marine ecosystems. It is primarily caused by the flow around ships and marine installations, emphasizing the need for accurate noise evaluation of flow noise to ensure environmental safety. Existing flow noise analysis methods for underwater environments typically use a hybrid method combining computational fluid dynamics and Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings acoustic analogy. However, this approach has limitations, neglecting near-field effects such as reflection, scattering, and diffraction of sound waves. In this study, an alternative using direct method flow noise analysis via the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is incorporated. The LBM provides a more accurate representation of the underwater structural boundaries and acoustic wave effects. Despite challenges in underwater environments due to numerical instabilities, a novel DM-TS LBM collision operator has been developed for stable implementations for hydroacoustic applications. This expands the LBM's applicability to underwater structures. Validation through flow noise analysis in pipe orifice demonstrates the feasibility of near-field analysis, with experimental comparisons confirming the method's reliability in identifying main pressure peaks from flow noise. This supports the viability of near-field flow noise analysis using the LBM.
