The present study conducts CFD analyses on the internal flow fields of roots type vacuum pumps of semiconductor fabrication facility, and the computed CFD results for internal pressure and temperature distributions are applied to structural analyses of the pumps. The coupled analysis results between flow and structure show that the deformation of pump structure is mainly resulted from the thermal expansion of gas in pump, and the deformed impeller and housing produce their severe contact and impact phenomena causing mechanical damage and fracture.

Leaf type foil bearings have been used successfully in many aerospace applications such as air cycle machines, turbocompressors and turboexpander. These applications are characterized by light loads, constant speeds and low to moderate temperatures. But, as system on start-up or shutdown, sliding contact between the shaft and foil surfaces cause wear. So, in present study, to understand pressure-flow characteristics and deformation of foil bearing, flow/structure interaction analysis was used. and using this method, 2D and 3D calculation was peformed for shape of foil bearing to know circumferential direction flow and leakage flow characteristics of axial direction.

A metal diaphragm compressor has been widely used for supplying a high pressures gas. This compressor mainly consists of gas oil space and metal diaphragm. Gas sucked in the gas space is compressed by an oscillating metal diaphragm existed between the gas and oil space. A non-return discharge and suction check-valve are components of the compressor that draw off the compressed oil and gas. Those components are self-actuated by differential pressures. Therefore, the rapid response and stable operating conditions are required. In the present study, to find out the dynamic behavior of the suction, discharge valve and diaphragm compressor, the unsteady flow field has been investigated numerically by using the unsteady two-way FSI (Fluid Structure Interaction) simulation method, $k-{\omega}$ turbulent model and mesh deformation.

In this paper, a new method for the stability analysis of a pipe conveying fluid which pulsates periodically is presented. The finite element model is formulated liking into consideration of the effects of the fluid pulsating in a pipe. The damping and stiffness matrices in the finite element equation vary with time due to pulsating fluid. Coupled effects of several harmonic components in the velocity of fluid to a pipe is discussed. A new unstable region appears which will not appear in the stability analysis of single pulsating frequency. A method to directly estimate the forced response of pipe is also discussed. The results presented in this paper are verified by the time domain analysis.

전기 자동차 에너지 시스템을 개발하기 위해서는 열 유체-전자기장 연성해석이 필요하다. 이를 위해 열 유체와 전자기장 각각의 해석에 특화된 패키지들을 사용하고, 이 패키지의 실험 결과를 저장 장치를 통해 주고받는다. 하지만 이는 저장장치 I/O 횟수를 늘려서 전체 계산 과정을 느리게 만들 수 있다. 데이터 교환을 MPI 패키지를 이용하여 DRAM 을 통해 이루어지도록 만들 수 있지만, 이는 계산 결과의 지속성을 악화시킨다. 즉, 열 유체 및 전자기장 연산과정에서 속도와 결과의 지속성은 상충적인 관계 갖는다. 본 연구는 이러한 관계를 실험적으로 분석하고 데이터의 지속성을 완화했을 때 이에 의해 얻을 수 있는 성능 이익을 분석한다.

In this paper, the pumping performance of a piezoelectric valveless micropump is simulated with a commercial finite element analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics. The micropump developed in the previous work is composed of a 4-layer lightweight piezo-composite actuator (LIPCA), a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pump chamber, and two diffusers. The piezoelectric domain, structural domain and fluid domain are coupled in the simulation. Water flow rates are numerically predicted for geometric parameters of the micropump. Based on this study, the micropump is optimally designed to obtain its highest pumping performance.

산업사회가 발전함에 따라 거대한 플랜트(plant)를 포함하여, 원자력 발전소 와 로켓트 등과 같이 구조적 안전성과 정확한 성능의 확보가 극히 중요시되 는 설비들이 많이 등장하고 있다. 이들 설비를 구성하고 있는 파이프계 (piping system)는 강성 또는 연성재료 및 각종 valve등으로 구성되어 있기 때문에, 고온 고압 고속의 유체가 파이프 내부를 흐를 때 일으키는 진동현상 및 플랜트의 과도운전 상황에서의 일어나는 수격현상(water hammer 또는 steam hammer)과 이로 기인한 제반 진동문제는 안전성확보 측면에서 많은 관심이 고조되고 있다. 이와 관련되어 유체유발진동에 관한 많은 연구들이 수행되었으며, 파이프계에 장착된 밸브에 대한 연구는 Weaver등에 의하여 실험적, 이론적으로 수행되었다. 그들은 유동방정식에서 비정상 베르누이 방 정식을 사용하여 내부유동방정식을 간략하게 유도하였으나, jet flow에 의한 유체의 운동량변화를 고려하지 않고 해석되어 그 결과에 의문이 제기된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 체크밸브(check valve)가 부착된 파이프계에서 일어 나는 유체유발진동 및 안정성에 관한 이론적 연구를 수행하여, 파이프계의 설계에 필요한 파라미터의 영향을 파악하고자 한다. 원자력 발전소와 같이 구조적 안정성이 요구되는 플랜트를 국내 기술로 설계 시공하려는 국내 실 정에서 이로 인한 파이프계에 발생할 수 있는 유체유발진동과 안정성을 예 측할 수 있는 해석이론은 파이프계의 설계 및 운전조건의 선정에 있어서 그 의의가 크다고 할 수 있겠다.

In this work, we study a heat transfer enhancement technology using fan-shaped small-scale fins. Fins having a thickness of 10 ${\mu}m$ move up-down by a pulsating flow. Owing to these motions, the heat transfer on a surface increases dramatically. The two-way FSI (fluid-structure interaction) method was applied for the analysis, and the analysis model was evaluated using a single fin model by comparing the experimental results. In summary, a maximum 40% increase in heat transfer capacity using a single and multiple small-scale fins was obtained in comparison with the results obtained without using fins. From this work, we believe that the proposed method can be a promising method for heat transfer enhancement in real applications.

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the power performance through CFD analysis and structural integrity through uni-directional FSI analysis in aerodynamic design and structure design of wind turbine blade. The blade was designed to generate the power of 2MW under the rated wind speed of 11 m/s, consisting of NACA 6 series, DU series and FFA series airfoil. The inside section of the blade was designed into D-spar structure and circular stiffener was placed to reinforce the structural strength in the part of hub. CFD analysis with the application of transitional turbulence model was performed to evaluate the power performance of blade according to the change of TSR and 2.024MW resulted under the condition of rated wind speed. TSR of 9 produced the maximum power coefficient and in this case, Cp was 0.494. This study applied uni-directional FSI analysis for more precise evaluation of structural integrity of blade, and the results of fiber failure, inter fiber failure and eigenvalue buckling analysis were evaluated, respectively. For the evaluation, Puck's failure criteria was applied and the result showed that fiber failure and inter fiber failure did not occur under every possible condition of the analysis. As a result, power performance and structural integrity of 2 MW blade designed in this study turned out to satisfy the initial design goals.

A microfin on a heated surface and its effects of the heat transfer has been investigated. The thickness of the fin is about 8 micrometer to allow the flexible up-down motion of the fin. Two-way complete FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) method has been applied for the analysis. Firstly, the deformation of a microfin due to the pulsating flow is evaluated using structure analysis. The flow and temperature patterns are predicted by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. At each time step, using the pressure force and temperature distribution from CFD, the deformation of the wing is evaluated by FEM. Also in order to estimate the resonance probability, the natural frequency of the wing structure is calculated by modal analysis. The proposed numerical procedure was validated through experiment using a single fin. Through this work, we show that the increase of 40% in heat transfer capacity using the microfin has been compared with that of flat plate case.
