The flow pattern at the inlet of the catalyst layer in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system is one of the key parameters influencing the performance of the denitrification process. In the curved diffusing parts between the ammonia injection grids and the catalyst layers, guide vanes are installed to improve flow uniformity. In the present study, a numerical simulation has been performed to investigate the effect of the geometrical configuration of the guide vanes on the aerodynamic characteristics of a denitrification facility. This application has been made to the existing SCR process in a large-scaled coal-fired power plant. The flow domain to be solved covers the whole region of the flow passages from the exit of the ammonia injection gun to the exit of the catalyst layers. ANSYS-Fluent was used to calculate the three-dimensional steady viscous flow fields with the proper turbulence model fitted to the flow characteristics. The root mean square of velocity and the pressure drop inside the flow passages were chosen as the key performance parameters. Four types of guides vanes were proposed to improve the flow quality compared to the current configuration. The numerical results showed that the type 4 configuration was the most effective at improving the aerodynamic performance in terms of flow uniformity and pressure loss.

Flow fields around a KARI-11-180 airfoil, SDM and transonic body are numerically simulated by using an unstructured meshes based compressible flow solver developed at KAIST. RANS equations are solved to analyse the flow fields and Roe's FDS method is adopted to evaluate convective fluxes. Turbulence effect of the flow fields is modeled by a SA model, SST model and ${\gamma}-{\widetilde{Re}}_{{\theta}t}$ model. It is found that smaller drag coefficients are predicted for the KARI-11-180 airfoil when a transition phenomenon is considered and small deviations exist between CFD and EFD results. For the SDM, flow separation is observed at a leading edge and calculated aerodynamic properties show similar tendencies to experimental results. A shock wave on main wings of the transonic body is successfully captured by the present flow solver at a Mach number 0.9. Estimated pressure profiles by means of the present CFD method also agree well with those of wind tunnel results.

The study of nonlinear gas transport in rarefied condition or associated with the microscale length of the geometry has emerged as an interesting topic in recent years. Along with the DSMC method, several fluid dynamic models that come under the general category of the moment method or the Chapman-Enskog method have been used for this type of problem. In the present study, on the basis of Eu's generalized hydrodynamics, computational models for diatomic gases are developed. The rotational nonequilibrium effect is included by introducing excess normal stress associated with the bulk viscosity of the gas. The new models are applied to study the one-dimensional shock structure and the multi-dimensional rarefied hypersonic flow about a blunt body. The results indicate that the bulk viscosity plays a considerable role in fundamental flow problems such as the shock structure and shear flow. An excellent agreement with experiment is observed for the inverse shock density thickness.

본 논문은 전산 유체 역학에서 필요한 3차원 다구획 격자구성 프로그램을 개발한 것이다. 유동장에 격자를 구성하는 것은 유동해석 방정식을 푸는 것 보다 일반적으로 시간이 더 소요되므로 격자구성 시간을 단축하기 위해서 사용자 편의를 도모하는 컴퓨터 화면과의 대화형 코드를 개발하였다. PIGG라고 부르는 본 격자구성 프로그램은 형상 모델링, 표면격자 구성, 유동장격자 생성, 그리고 격자의 재구성에 이르는 일련의 과정이 대화형/화면게시 형태로 수행된다. 본 PIGG를 이용하여 전통적인 전투기 형상 격자를 구성한 결과 많은 시간을 단축할 수 있었다.

EDISON CFD 수치 해법 기법을 바탕으로 초음속 유동장 속에서 spike가 부착된 무딘 물체에 대하여, spike 형상 변화에 따른 압축성 효과에 의한 항력 변화 추이를 고찰하였다. Spike의 길이 따른 항력 변화 추이를 살펴보았다. Spike의 길이가 Main body와 특정한 비율을 가질 때 항력이 최소가 된다. 이를 기준으로 spike 길이가 특정 길이만큼 줄어들거나 늘어날 경우에 각각 1.35%, 4.95% 항력이 증가하였다. 이러한 자료들은 초음속 유동장에서 무딘 물체에 가해지는 압축성 효과에 의한 저항을 최소화하기 위한 spike 설계 시 중요한 견해를 제공한다.

터어빈 블레이드의 경우 제작 또는 설계상의 이유로 뭉툭한 끝단을 가질 수밖에 없게 되는데, 이로 인하여 같은 터보기계인 압축기 블레이드의 경우와는 다르게 블레이드 끝단에서 끝단 와류(Trailing edge vortex)가 발생하게 된다. 이 와류는 블레이드의 손실 증가, 고주파 음파의 생성, 국부적으로 매우 큰 열 전달 및 에너지분산 등 터빈 블레이드의 성능에 좋지 못한 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 와류와 충격파와의 간섭효과 둥이 존재하는 경우에는 매우 복잡한 유동장을 형성하며 심한 유동 구배가 존재하게 되므로 고해상도의 수치해석 방법이 아니고서는 이를 수치적으로 해석하기가 쉽지 않다.(중략)

The flow noise generated by hull appendages is directly related to the performance of the sonar in terms of self-noise and induces a secondary noise source through interaction with the propeller and rudder. Thus, the noise in the near field should be analyzed accurately. However, the acoustic analogy method is an indirect method that is not used to simulate the propagation of an acoustic signal directly; therefore, diffraction, reflection, and scattering characteristics cannot be considered, and near-field analysis is limited. In this study, the propagation process of flow noise in water was directly simulated by using the lattice Boltzmann method. The lattice Boltzmann method could be used to analyze flow noise by simulating the collision and streaming processes of molecules, and it is suitable for noise analysis because of its compressibility, low dissipation rate, and low dispersion rate characteristics. The flow noise source was derived using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the hull appendages, and the propagation process of the flow noise was directly simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method by applying the developed flow-acoustic boundary conditions. The derived results were compared with Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings results and hydrodynamic pressure results based on the receiver location to verify the usefulness of the lattice Boltzmann method within the near-field range in comparison with other techniques.
