The unsteady problems of ships in waves are analyzed by a low order panel method with Rankine source. Considering the basic flow as the uniform incoming flow(so called Kelvin flow) and also the double body flow. the solutions to satisfy the governing equation with the boundary conditions are obtained, and these two results are compared. The hydrodynamic coefficients for the modified Wigley hull and Series 60($C_B=0.7$) are computed and compared with the experimental data available and also other computational results published. It is shown that the computational results by the double body approximation agree well with the experimental results compared with those by the uniform Kelvin flow approximation.

The injection uniformity of the fuel manifold in a liquid rocket engine has been analyzed with dividing plates to improve the cooling performance at the face plate. Three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis has been performed to compare the injection uniformity for 5 candidate designs and has been verified to compare with the measured data for the optimal manifold design. For the case I and II, the coolant mass flux increases as the whole working fluid is enforced to flow under the dividing plate. The injection uniformity decreases due to the variation of mass flux at the end of dividing plate and the concentration of mass flow rate at the center of manifold. However case III and IV have uniform injection performance due to reduced mass flux concentration as the coolant can flow along both upper passage and lower passage of the dividing plate. Among the candidate designs, case IV is thought to be the optimal dividing plate with regard to cooling performance and injection uniformity.

A HVAC(Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) is adapted to increase the comfort of the cabin environment for train. The train HVAC duct system has very long duct and many outlets due to the shape of a train set. the duct cross section shape is limited by a roof structure and equipments. Therefore, the pressure distribution and flow uniformity is an important performance indicator for the duct system. In this study, the existing blow down type HVAC duct system for a train was supplemented to improve the flow uniformity by applying a design method combining design of experiment (DOE) with numerical analysis. The design variables and the test sets were selected and the performance for each test set was evaluated using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). The influence of each design variable on the system performance was analysed based on the results of the performance evaluation on the test sets. Furthermore, the optimized model, whose the flow uniformity was improved was produced using the direct optimization(gradient-based method). Finally, the performance of the optimized model was evaluated using numerical analysis, and it was confirmed that its flow uniformity has indeed improved.

The conversion efficiency, durability and pressure drop of the automotive exhaust catalysts are dependent on the flow distribution within the substrate. Conventional porous medium approaches assuming monolith resistance based on the one-dimensional laminar flow for simulating the flow through the automotive exhaust catalysts over-predict the flow uniformity in the monolith. In this study, additional pressure loss is also considered by accounting for entrance effects due to the oblique flow incident on the front face of monolith as a consequence of flow separation and recirculation within the diffuser. The incorporation of an additional pressure loss improves the predictions for the maximum flow velocity within the substrate. An numerical study has also been conducted for the three-dimensional unsteady incompressible non-reacting flow inside various dual-monolith catalytic converters for the rapid acceleration/deceleration driving.

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 논문에서는 시작엔진 제작에 앞서 CFD기법을 이용하여 디젤 엔진의 블록과 헤드에서의 냉각수 유동 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 유동 해석 결과 1번 실린더를 거쳐 4번 실린더까지 유동이 원활하게 흐르는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이는 전체적인 냉각수 분배에 영향을 미쳐 엔진 설계 시 발생할 수 있는 3, 4번 실린더의 과열을 방지 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 열전달 계수가 전체적으로 균일하게 분포되어 냉각수의 열전달 특성이 양호할 것으로 판단된다.

Improved version of previous 'Orthotropic' closure approximation, termed 'ORW' has been numerically developed using new homogeneous flow data. Previous 'Orthotropic' closure approximation, i.e., ORF or ORL showed non-physical oscillation for interaction coefficient $C_1$<0.001 at simple shear flow. It also shows non-physcial oscillation and under-prediction compared with 'Distribution Function Calculation' at non-homogeneous flow of center-gated disk. These phenomena are mainly due to the flow data of 'Distribution Function Calculation' which were used for least-square optimization. ORW obtained by fitting flow data of low interaction coefficient does not show non-physical oscillation and results in reasonably good behaviors at non-homogeneous flows as well as homogeneous flows. Fitting function forms have not been found to improve overall behaviors. It has been found that considering all the eigenvalues of orientation tensor (including the third eigenvalues) might end up with a better closure approximation than just considering the first and second eigenvalues. It is, however, very important and yet difficult to select appropriate function forms of eigenvalues. Numerical simulation including coupling and in-plane velocity gradient effects were performed for injection mold filing process with a film-gated strip and a center-gated disk using ORW and various other closure approximations for comparisons. Although ORW is in excellent agreement with 'Distribution Function Calculation', the predicted results seem to have consistent error in comparison with experimental data. The diffusivity term with constant interaction coefficient might have to be further investigated in order to accurately describe orientation states.

In a refrigerator, many food boxes are stored, so the flow of chilly air has very complicate stream paths inside the room of a refrigerator. Moreover, on some occasions, there is no flow of chilly air in a space due to blocking flow paths by food boxes, which is an important issue to be settled for improving the ability of food storage with fresh states. One of methods to solve this problem is to redesign the flow-pattern of chilly air to be uniform flow inside room, if possible. In this work, we have tried to design the duct-structure for the uniform flow of a chilly air using a FE-analysis method. And we conducted real commercial tests using a refrigerator having the redesigned duct. The results showed that good agreements with general requirements.
