We have investigated the mixing behavior of a tubular heat exchanger reactor using CFD and compared its mixing performance with different type of reactors such as jet mixer and continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The mixedness in each reactor was quantified introducing a statistical average value, the coefficient of variation (CoV), which is a normalized standard deviation of concentration of a component over the whole fluid domain. Through the analysis of the flow pattern and turbulent energy distribution, we suggested a simple but effective way to improve the mixing performance of the tubular heat-exchanger reactor, which include the addition of the internals and/or the increase of the recycle flow rate. It was found that the CoV value of the tubular reactor could be nearly equivalent to that of CSTR by applying those two alternatives suggested here.

In this study, NASA test model with four cruciform fins is utilized to validate the in-house code. Sur face pressure distribution and aerodynamic coefficients are compared with experimental data. Through extensive validation work, it is verified that the code has capability to predict aerodynamic characteristics of missile configuration. In inviscid analysis through a relatively low computational time, analysis result close to experimental data can be confirmed. However, at high angle of attack more than 20 degree, the accuracy of analysis is gradually decreased due to massive separation. In addition, it has been seen that Reynolds number, turbulence model and numerical method have effects on body vortices and aerodynamic characteristics.

A CFD analysis of helicopter flowfield in forward flight is considered as non-trivial issue because of the complexity of vorticity-dominated flowfield. In this work, a study on the selection of the proper location for the installation of the Pitot probe is conducted using a CFD code which can deal with the interaction of rotor blade vortex and body. To describe the flow patterns for rotating rotor blades and body, the sliding mesh scheme is utilized. Pressure distributions and flow patterns are also analyzed to identify regions free from the interaction of body and wake induced from rotor blades.

이 논문은 최근에 개발된 네가지 종류의 고차 유계 대류항 처리법인 SOUCUP, HLPA, SMARTER 그리고 COPLA 해법들을 비교 분석한다. 모든 해법들을 실제적인 공학적인 문제에의 적용을 위하여 비균일, 비직교 좌표에 공식화 하였다. 해법들의 상대적인 검증을 위하여 여러 가지 종류의 시험 문제들에 적용하여 검증하였다. 수치실험의 결과는 시험한 4종류의 해법들이 유계성을 만족하고 고차 해법의 정확도를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. HLPA, SMARTER와 COPLA 해법들은 거의 같은 정도의 해의 정확성을 보였으며, SCOCUP 해법은 조금 부정확한 것으로 나타났다.

As the number of deeply-underground subway station(DUSS) increases, the safety measures for DUSS have been requested. In this research, Shingumho station (The line # 5, Depth: 46m) has been selected as case-study for the analysis of smoke-spread speed with the different fire strength. Field test data measured for actual fan in DUSS was applied as a condition of a simulation. The whole station was covered in this analysis and total of 4 million grids were generated for this simulation. The fire driven flow was analyzed case by case to compare the smoke-spread effect according to the fire strength. in order to enhance the efficiency of calculation, parallel processing by MPI was employed and large eddy simulation method in FDS code was adopted.

Aerothermodynamic flowfields of aircraft engine nozzles are computationally investigated at various flight conditions for infrared signature analysis. A mission profile of subsonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle is considered for the case study and associated engine and nozzles are selected through a performance analysis. Computational results of nozzle and plume flowfields using a density-based CFD code are analyzed in terms of thrust, maximum temperature, length and optical thickness of plume. It is shown that maximum temperature, length, and optical thickness of nozzle plume increase for lower altitude and higher Mach number.

Shock loss was not applied for the tunnel ventilation of road tunnel in the past. However, pressure losses due to the shock loss can be significant in network double-deck road tunnel in which combining and separating road structures exist. For the optimum ventilation design of network double-deck road tunnel, this study conducted 3D CFD numerical analysis for the shock loss at the combining and separating flows. The CFD model was made with the real-scale model that was the standard section of double-deck road tunnel. The shock loss coefficient of various combining and separating angles and road width was obtained and compared to the existing design values. As a result of the comparison, the shock loss coefficient of the $30^{\circ}$ separating flow model was higher and that of the two-lane combining flow model was lower. Since the combining and separating angles and road width can be important for the design of shock loss estimation, it is considered that this study can provide the accurate design factors for the calculation of ventilation system capacity. In addition, this study conducted 3D CFD analysis in order to calculate the shock loss coefficient of both combining and separating flows at flared intersection, and the result was compared with the design values of ASHRAE. The model that was not widened at the intersection showed three times higher at the most, and the other model that was widened at the intersection resulted two times higher shock loss coefficients.

Accurate prediction of the trajectory and time of a time-varying mass parachute system remains essential in the mission requiring a precision airdrop to the ground. In this study, we investigate the altitude-varying behavior of a cross-type parachute system designed to deliver a time-varying mass object like flare. The dynamics of the descending parachute system was analyzed based on the Runge-Kutta method of the ordinary differential system. The drag coefficients of the cross-type parachute and flare were calculated by a CFD code based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation. Finally, by using a simplified gust wind model in troposphere, the combined effects of gust wind and time-varying mass were examined in detail.

At liftoff, launch vehicles are subject to harmful acoustic loads due to the intense acoustic waves generated by propulsion systems. Because these waves can cause electronic and mechanical components of launch vehicles and payloads to fail, predicting and mitigating acoustic loads is an important design issue. This article presents the latest information about the generation of acoustic waves and the acoustic design methods applicable to the launch pad. The development of the Japanese Epsilon solid launcher is given as an example of the new methodology for launch pad design. Computational fluid dynamics together with 1/42 scale model testing were performed for this development. Effectiveness of the launch pad design to reduce acoustic loads was confirmed by the post-flight analysis.
