Two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver is developed using SIMPLER method to study the unsteady viscous flow physics over two-dimensional ellipses. Unsteady viscous flows over various thickness-to-chord ratios of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 elliptic cylinders are simulated at different Reynolds numbers of 200, 400, and 1,000. This study is focused on the understanding the effects of Reynolds number and elliptic cylinder thickness on the drag and lift forces. The present numerical solutions are compared with available experimental and numerical results and show a good agreement. Through this study, it is observed that the Reynolds number and the cylinder thickness affect not only the frequency of the force oscillations but also the mean values and the amplitudes of the total drag and lift forces significantly.

A level-set method is used for analyzing the behaviors of gas bubbles in two fluids incompressible viscous flow domain. The governing equations are solved by using a finite volume method. The numerical results are verified by comparing with the experimental and other computational results. Computations for the deformations and motions of one or multi-bubbles in the flow domain with the initial undisturbed free interface are conducted. It can be seen that numerical results for different surface tension and density ratio arise very different behaviors of bubbles. When bubbles rise near the free interface, the free interface gives some great influence on the behaviors of bubbles. The present results computed by a level-set method give useful information about the properties of bubble motions and deformations.

Numerical design optimization techniques are implemented for the improvement of the ram accelerator performance. The design object is to find the minimum ram tube length required to accelerate projectile from initial velocity $V_o$ to target velocity $V_e$. The premixture is composed of $H_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$ and the mole numbers of these species are selected as design variables. The objective function and the constraints are linearized during the optimization process and gradient-based Simplex method and SLP(Sequential Linear Programming) have been employed. With the assumption of two dimensional inviscid flow for internal flow field, the analyses of the nonequilibrium chemical reactions for 8 steps 7 species have been performed. To determined the tube length, ram tube internal flow field is assumed to be in a quasi-steady state and the flow velocity is divided into several subregions with equal interval. Hence the thrust coefficients and accelerations for corresponding subregions are obtained and integrated for the whole velocity region. With the proposed design optimization techniques, the total ram tube length had been reduced 19% within 7 design iterations. This optimization procedure can be directly applied to the multi-stage, multi-premixture ram accelerator design optimization problems.

Nowadays, H-piles are usually used as temporary retaining walls, and sometimes buried in the ground after construction. The purpose of this study is the development of flowable fill materials that are easy to fill holes of retaining wall structure and minimize friction during pulling out H-pile. The first test was performed to decide mix proportion that is reasonable for purpose, in the second test, direct shear test was performed to get pullout resistance between flowable fills material and H-pile, and one dimensional consolidation test was performed to analyze the compressibility. In the test result, it showed that flowable fill material mix proportion is 350-450% of water, 70-100% of cement and 70-100% of sand based on the bentonite weight.

The selective catalytic reduction system is a highly effective technique for the denitrification of the flue gases emitted from the industrial facilities. The distribution of mixing ratio between ammonia and nitrogen oxide at the inlet of the catalyst layers is important to the efficiency of the de-NOx process. In this study, computational analysis tools have been applied to improve the uniformity of NH₃/NO molar ratio by controlling the flow rate of the ammonia injection nozzles according to the distribution pattern of the nitrogen oxide in the inlet flue gas. The root mean square of NH₃/NO molar ratio was chosen as the optimization parameter while the design of experiment was used as the base of the optimization algorithm. As the inlet conditions, four (4) types of flow pattern were simulated; i.e. uniform, parabolic, upper-skewed, and random. The flow rate of the eight nozzles installed in the ammonia injection grid was adjusted to the inlet conditions. In order to solve the two-dimensional, steady, incompressible, and viscous flow fields, the commercial software ANSYS-FLUENT was used with the k-𝜖 turbulence model. The results showed that the improvement of the uniformity ranged between 9.58% and 80.0% according to the inlet flow pattern of the flue gas.

We numerically simulated a dissolved air flotation (DAF) tank to predict the performance of the pilot facility. The flow was assumed to be two-dimensional and two-phase. The velocity distributions in the separation zones of differently shaped DAFs were compared to find the effect of the shape on the performance. The results showed that the typical flow pattern that appeared in a well-designed DAF-tank was generated in the separation zone of the base model. This flow pattern could be maintained while the baffle height was sufficiently tall regardless of the other geometric parameters. However, the baffle height and angle, the contact zone width, and the perforated plate affected the uniformity of the downward flow in the separation zone. Except for the baffle height, the base model used in this study showed a better uniformity of downward flow than did other models with different geometric parameters.

To investigate the structure of internal flow hydrodynamically, the complete vertical equation of motion should be assembled into the model. In the present study a numerical simulation model not hydrodynamically approximated is established. From the comparison of the predicted results with the computed results from k-$ two equation turbulence model by Huh et. al.(1991)and the experimental data by Nakatsuji(1984), the vertical acceleration and its effects on the development of buoyant surface jets are evaluated quantitatively.

증기발생기가 원자로압력용기안에 위치한 일체형원자로의 개발을 위해서 가장먼저 개발되어야 할 요소기술은 관류형 증기발생기의 설계기술이다. 증기발생기는 기존의 상용로에서 사용되고 있는 재순환형 증기발생기와 관류형 증기발생기로 분류 할 수 있는데, U-튜브를 사용하는 재순환형 중기발생기의 경우 습분분리기와 증기건조기 등이 많은 공간을 요구하고 있고, 또한 중기발생기를 압력용기 안에 위치시킬 경우 일차측과 이차측의 냉각수 유로형태, 유동장의 안정성 등의 문제 때문에 일체형원자로에서는 관류형 증기발생기의 도입이 일반화 되어있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 관류형(직관 및 나선 전열관형) 증기발생기의 열수력학적 설계 및 성능분석을 위한 프로그램, ONCESG를 개발했다. 개발된 모델링 및 컴퓨터코드의 검증을 위해 외국의 관류형 중기발생기(직관형:미국/영국의 SIR, 나선형:일본의 MRX, SPWR)의 설계자료를 ONCESG프로그램을 사용해 모사한 결과와 이미 발표된 설계자료와의 비교분석을 수행했다. 모사결과 계산된 관류형 증기발생기의 열전달면적, 압력 및 온도분포가 외국의 발표된 설계자료와 잘 일치했으며, 개발된 ONCESG코드를 일체형 신형원자로의 개념설계시 다양한 목적으로 활용할 수 있음을 보였다.

The effects of cancellation errors on the convergence characteristics of preconditioned Euler equations at low Mach numbers are analyzed. Flows in a two-dimensional channel with a circular bump are calculated at different Mach numbers. It is shown that the cancellation error in the energy equation grows faster than those in the other equations as the Mach number decreases. It is also shown that the cancellation problem of the energy equation can be alleviated by multiplying the inversion of the preconditioner.

Ejector system can induce the secondary flow or affect the secondary chamber pressure by both shear stress and pressure drop which are generated in the primary jet boundary. Ejectors are widely used in a range of applications such as a turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system and a high altitude test facility for rocket engine, pressure recovery system, desalination plant and ejector ramjet etc. The primary interest of this study is to set up an design procedure on the configuration and operating condition of multi-ejector for the various high altitude simulation.
