Turbulent flows are numerically simulated in the three dimensional inlet duct for heat recovery steam generator. The present study is aimed to analyze the effect of a variation in turbulent flow pattern by the change of roof angle in the transition duct. The finite volume based Navier-Stokes equations with unstructured grids are solved to make clear the flow dynamic phenomena. Reviews are made on with the data of path lines, velocity vectors, dynamic pressure, residuals for numerical convergence and so on. The k-epsilon, k-omega, Reynolds stress and RNG k-epsilon are used for generation of turbulence. Two types of roof angle are applied with and without the swirl in the duct. Turbulent flow patterns could be investigated for the optimum duct design based on the computational results.

도금 시뮬레이션의 목적은 실제 도금 상황에서의 전류밀도 및 도금두께 분포를 정확히 예측하여 최상의 품질과 최적의 공정조건을 확립하는데 있다. 제품에 부착된 도금 두께는 기하학적 배치에 의한 저항 (1차 전류밀도), 전기화학적 전하교환 반응에 의한 분극 (2차 전류밀도) 및 확산, 유동 등 도금물질의 공급에 의한 분극(3차 전류밀도)에 의해 결정이 된다. 현재까지 도금 시뮬레이션은 1차 전류밀도 예측에 대한 전자기학적 해석과 Butler-Volmer 식에 근거한 동력학적 전기화학 해석을 통해 2차 전류밀도 분포 해석만 이루어졌다. 즉, 도금 반응에 있어서 물질공급은 항상 일정하게 유지되는 것을 가정하고 해석을 하였다. 이는 3차 전류밀도 분포에 있어서 전극반응 계면에서의 유동에 의한 물질공급이 전기화학과는 다른 물리(physics) 영역이어서 이를 전기화학과 coupling 하는데 기술적으로 어렵기 때문이었다. 그러므로, 물질공급반응이 속도결정단계가 되는 고속도금이나 저농도 도금, gap, tranch, via hole, through hole 등의 도금의 경우에는 해석결과에 큰 오차를 야기하게 된다. 본 발표에서는 그동안 접근하지 못했던 전기도금 해석에 있어서 유동해석을 커플링하여 다중물리해석을 한 결과를 발표한다. 시편으로는 회전원판전극과 회전 헐셀을 이용하여 회전속도 (rpm)에 따른 전류밀도 및 도금두께 분포의 변화 거동을 예측하였다.

In this study, the numerical investigation of the flow around the SUBOFF submarine model is performed by using the Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) method which is developed based on the SST k-ω turbulence model. At the DES analysis level, complex vortical flows around the submarine model are caused mainly by the vortices due to the appendages and their interactions with the flows from the hull boundary layer and other appendages. The complexity and scale of the vortical flow obtained from the numerical simulations are highly dependent on the grid. The computed local flow properties of the submarine model are compared with the available experimental data showing a good agreement. The DES analysis more reasonably estimates the physical phenomena inherent in the experimental result in a low radius of the propeller plane where vortical flows smaller than the RANS scale are dominant.

This paper proposes a method to estimate the flow speed of pedestrians in surveillance videos. In the proposed method, the average moving speed of pedestrians is measured by estimating the size of real-world motion from the observed motion vectors. For this purpose, a pixel-to-meter conversion factor is introduced which is calculated from camera parameters. Also, the height information, which is missing because of camera projection, is predicted statistically from simulation experiments. Compared to the previous works for flow speed estimation, our method can be applied to various camera views because it separates scene parameters explicitly. Experiments are performed on both simulation image sequences and real video. In the experiments on simulation videos, the proposed method estimated the flow speed with average error of about 0.08m/s. The proposed method also showed promising results for the real video.

Zinc coatings are widely used because of their environmental friendliness and high performance. In general, the coating temperature is a major factor in determining the coating layer thickness and coating quality. In the case of a zinc coating, a uniform and appropriate coating temperature is required. In this study, a thermal flow simulation of the air flow was performed to analyze the temperature distribution of a zinc spray coating room in a natural convection state. Using SolidWorks, modeling was performed for two spray coating rooms, a preheating room, and a drying room, and a thermal flow coupled analysis was performed using ANSYS-FLUENT. As a result of the analysis, the temperature distribution characteristics in the spray coating rooms were determined. It was found that the present temperature was below the target temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. Simulations were conducted for two different boundary conditions (one with a heater added and another with the open part closed). The simulation results show that the method of closing the open part is better than adding the heater.

Unlike an international combustion engine car, a battery-powered electric vehicle requires an additional heat source for its heating system. A high-voltage coolant heater has the advantages of high efficiency and a wide operating temperature range. In its development, the geometry design of the coolant flow path is essential. This paper presents the thermal flow simulations of a 7kW high-voltage heater with symmetric serpentine flow channels arranged parallelly. The heater performance was evaluated from the simulation results in terms of the pressure and temperature differences and the flow uniformity. The proposed design showed a greater flow resistance and similar heat exchanging capability than the existing parallel serpentine design. It has the advantage of a relatively wide low-temperature surface area, where the control circuit board susceptible to high temperatures can be located.

This study attempts to simulate the structure of a woody leaf netted venation system by using topology optimization techniques. Based on finite element method (FEM) analysis of an incompressible fluid, a topology optimal design is applied to those woody leaf netted venation models. To solve the transverse shear locking problem of a thin plate caused by the Mindlin-Reissner plate model where a leaf netted venation is assumed to be a thin plate, a P1-nonconforming element and selective reduced integration are employed. Topology optimal design is applied to multiple physical domains. Combined with the Darcy-Stokes flow problems and extended to the optimal design of fluid channels, the multiple physical models of the flow system are analyzed and venation patterns of leafs are simulated. The calculated optimal shapes are compared with the natural shapes of woody leaf venation patterns. This interdisciplinary approach may improve our understanding of the leaf venation system.

In the present study, a 3-dimensional (3D) numerical model was developed to mimic the micro porous structure of a geological $CO_2$ storage reservoir. Especially, 3D modeling technique assigning random pore size to a 3D micro porous structure was devised. Numerical method using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) was applied for the 3D micro porous structure to calculate supercritical $CO_2$ flow field. The three different configurations of 3D micro porous model were designed and their flow fields were calculated. For the physical conditions of $CO_2$ flow, temperature and pressure were set up equivalent to geological underground condition where $CO_2$ fluid was stored. From the results, the characteristics of the supercritical $CO_2$ flow fields were scrutinized and the influence of the micro pore configuration on the flow field was investigated. In particular, the pressure difference and consequent $CO_2$ permeability were calculated and compared with increasing $CO_2$ flow rate.

In this study, the resistance performances of barge are analyzed by model tests and computation using CFD to investigate the flow characteristics around a barge in still water. The model tests are carried out in infinite depth in Inha Technical College Circulation Tank to observe the resistance and the numerical simulations based on VOF(Volume of Fluid) method are performed to analyze the flow around the barge. We have selected two barge models to investigate the flow characteristics according to the different type of barges. The experiments are carried out with the models from 5kts to 10kts(designed speed 7kts) considering the effect of adverse and favorable current. The numerical simulations are performed to analyze the flow and resistance characteristics of barge in the full loaded condition with the target speed and compared with the experimental data to confirm the reliability of the numerical method. The result was that the difference of resistance with 25% occurred at low speed and EHP increased rapidly from 7kts.
