The gas motion inside the engine cylinder plays a very important role in determining the thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine. A precise information of in-cylinder three dimensional complex gas motion is crucial in optimizing engine design. Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is a combustion concept, which is a hybrid between Otto and Diesel engine. The turbulent diffusion leads to increased rates of momentum, heat and mass transfer. The in-cylinder turbulence flow was found to affect the present HCCI combustion mainly through its influence on the wall heat transfer. This study investigates the effect of piston geometry shape on the turbulent flow characteristics of in-cylinder from the numerical analysis using the LES model and the results obtained can offer guidelines of the combustion geometries for better combustion process and engine performance.

This paper investigates the linear stability of both uniform and non-uniform density plane mixing layers with special emphasis on the effect of the wake component in the velocity profile. Velocity and density profiles for laminar flows are obtained from analytic profiles. Mixing layers with wakes have two generalized inflection points and two unstable modes-sinuous and varicose modes. For uniform density mixing layers, sinuous modes are more unstable than varicose modes, which shows wakes will be destabilized by sinuous modes. For non-uniform density mixing layers with high density in high speed flows, sinuous modes are more unstable than varicose modes. For non-uniform density mixing layers with high density in low speed flows, varicose modes can be more unstable than sinuous modes.

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.

본 연구에서는 정사각형으로 모델링된 실린더 주위에 균일한 유동이 흐를 때 나타나는 이차원 난류 유동을 분석하였다. EDISON-CFD를 이용하여 정사각 실린더 표면에서의 전단응력 분포 및 유동 현상을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 선행 연구 결과의 $\bar{C_D}$, ${C_L}^{\prime}$ 값과 비교하여 결과의 유효성을 검증하였다. 또한, 비정상 층류 유동(Re=100)과 비교하여 난류 유동(Re=22,000)의 특성을 분석하였고, 와 흐름에 의하여 정사각 실린더 표면이 받는 전단응력을 자세히 분석하였다.

A numerical analysis has been carried out on the Czochralski flow fields when uniform and nonuniform magnetic fields are applied. Czochralski flow fields are governed by buoyancy forces, thermocapillarity, centrifugal forces, and applied magneic fields. In this analysis, pressure and three components of velocity vectors are obtained, and circumferential electrical currents are calculated. When a uniform magnetic field is applied, all the velocity components are decreased and the circumferential electric currents near the crystal surface are increased as the magnetic field intensity is increased. In the case of a nonuniform field, the flows in a meridional plane are suppressed and the circumferential velocity is increased as the non uniformity is increased. The understanding on the Czochralski flow fields under the influence of magnetic fields can lead to the study on the behavior of the concentration of the solute and impurities.

This study is on SCR reactor, NOx reduction system in Marine that has been an issue nowadays. Especially design data was obtained by numerical on flow uniformity that is one of the design factor in SCR reactor. Also pressure drop on catalyst size inserted into SCR reactor was compared by experiment and numerical analysis. S/W, numerical analysis used for this study was confirmed that the result of numerical analysis used STAR-CCM+, common use CFD code, pressure drop on catalyst is not big different from the result of numerical analysis. In addition, degree of uniformity of liquid on SCR reactor was over 0.9. Whereas it was assured that degree of uniformity of liquid was changed depends on the shape of pipe at the entrance of SCR.

A numerical analysis is achieved to elucidate the behavior of lifted flames and characteristics of flow near flame zone according to the exit velocity of triple flame, Poiseuille and uniform distribution. For the cases of Poiseuille and uniform nozzle exit velocity, we reviewed previous results with the present numerical results and investigated characteristics of the flame structure near the flame zone comparing with liftoff height generalized by momentum flux. In addition, a close inquiry into the combustion flow characteristics near flame zone was made with the characteristics of velocity, pressure, temperature and chemical reaction. From nozzle to flame zone, center line velocity profile traced well with the velocity profile of typical cold jet flow, but very near the flame zone, this study examined phenomenon that flow velocity decreases very quickly before the flame zone and then increases very quickly after the flame zone. Because flame zone acts as a barrier at the flow region which is before the flame zone and accelerate the flow velocity when it pass through the flame zone. This phenomenon was not clarified previous cold jet flow.

Numerical simulations were carried out to analyze the flow characteristics of the wind tunnel. Flow field characteristics with velocity uniformity at the test sections are largely affected by inlet conditions of air flow rate and temperature. Axial average velocity of the flow field inside the test area was almost linearly decreased by 0.026% each 1m. The uniformity distributions of axial velocity showed the highest reduction rate of about 24% between nozzle outlets 1 ~ 2m. In addition, average velocity and the uniformity are increased with air temperature in the wind tunnel due to density variation. The results of this paper are expected to be useful for the basic design of wind tunnel and to be used for efficient design.

In case that an interface crack exists in an infinite two-dimensional elastic bimaterial, the crack surface is insulated under traction free and the uniform heat flow vertical to the crack from infinite boundary is given. Temperature and stress potentials are obtained by using complex variable approach to solve Hilbert problems. The results are used to obtain thermal stress intensity factors. Only mode I thermal stress intensity factor occurs in case of the homogeneous material. Otherwise, mode I and II thermal stress intensity factor is much smaller than one of mode II.
