The computational flow numerical analysis was introduced to predict thc turbulent characteristics in the mixing flow structure of $45^{\circ}$ impinging round jet. This analysis has been carried out through the commercial fluent software. Realizable(RLZ) k-${\varepsilon}$ was used as a turbulent model. It can be known that mean velocities analysed through RLZ k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model comparatively predict well the experiments and show well the elliptic shape of mixing flow structure in the Y-Z plane, but analysed turbulent kinetic energies show somewhat differently from the experiments in certain regions.

A new efficient numerical method for computing unsteady, incompressible flows, DRANS (Decoupled Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes), is presented. To eliminate the restriction of CFL condition, a fully-implicit time advancement in which the Crank-Nicolson method is used fer both the diffusion and convection terms. is adopted. Based on decomposition method, the velocity-turbulent quantity decoupling is achieved. The additional decoupling of the intermediate velocity components in the convection term is made for the fully-implicit time advancement scheme. Since the iterative procedures for the momentum, ${\kappa}\;and\;{\varepsilon}$ equations are not required, the components decouplings bring fourth the reduction of computational cost. The second-order accuracy in time of the present numerical algorithm is ascertained by computing decaying vortices. The present decoupling method is applied to turbulent boundary layer with local forcing.

The present study examined the free surface flow of a liquid sheet near a sprinkler head using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and considered the feasibility of the empirical model for predicting the initial spray characteristics of the sprinkler head through a comparison of the CFD results. The CFD calculation for a simplified sprinkler geometry considering the nozzle and deflector were performed using the commercially available CFD package, CFX 14.0 with the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and theVolume of Fluid (VOF) method. The predicted velocity of the empirical model at the edge of deflector were in good agreement with that of the CFD model for the flat plate region but there was a certain discrepancy between the two models for the complex geometry region. The mean droplet diameter predicted by the empirical model differed significantly from the measured value of the real sprinkler head. On the other hand, the empirical model can be used to understand the mechanism of droplet formation near the sprinkler head and predict the initial spray characteristics for cases without experimental data.

Damping characteristics of pressure oscillation induced by an orifice in fluid feeding line for are investigated numerically and experimentally. Assuming small pressure oscillation, acoustic damping effect of orifice is confirmed experimentally, and with the mean flow, damping characteristics of an orifice are investigated numerically. When an orifice is installed at the node of pressure oscillation corresponding to the anti-node of velocity oscillation, suppression of pressure oscillation is maximized and with the mean flow, the resonant frequency is decreased. And, it is found that the optimal position of an orifice for damping shouled be changed.

Turbulent wake behind a ship propeller has been investigated using the adaptive hybrid 2-frame PTV(Particle Tracking Velocimetry). 400 instantaneous velocity fields were measured according to 4 different blade phases and ensemble-averaged to investigate the spatial evolution of the vortical structure of near wake within one propeller diameter downstream. The phase averaged mean velocity fields show the potential wake and the viscous wake formed by the boundary layers developed on the blade surfaces. As the tip vortex evolves downstream, the slipstream is contracted and the turbulent intensity is decreased with viscous dissipation and turbulent diffusion.

겨울철 난방에너지와 여름철 냉방에너지 절감을 위한 자갈축열 태양열 온실의 설계자료를 얻고자 모형 자갈축열층과 이론적 해석을 통하여 축열층의 공기유동성 및 자갈축열층의 축열성능을 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 압출식으로 공기를 유동시켰을 경우 축열층내 풍속은 0.09-l.50㎧(평균 0.60㎧)범위였으며, 흡인식으로 공기를 유동시켰을 경우 축열층내 풍속은 0.15-0.90㎧(평균 0.46㎧)범위로 평균풍속은 압출식이 높게 나타났으나 축열층 가운데에서는 흠인식이 약 0.06㎧정도 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 자갈축열층내 공기순환을 위한 별도의 파이프 매설은 불필요한 것으로 판단된다. 2. 자갈축열층의 공극율이 증가할수록 축열량은 감소하였으며 순환팬 용량과 공극율에 따라 평균 2,133㎉/h-3,243㎉/h 정도 축열량 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 공극율이 0.45인 경우 축열층의 높이가 높을수록 자갈축열층의 온도는 서서히 증가하였으며, 축열층 높이 60cm이하에서는 축열 7시간이후부터는 축열량 변화를 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 이러한 결과를 모형축열층에 있어 실험적으로 구해지는 축열 자갈층의 온도 및 축열량과의 비교 검증단계를 거쳐 온실규모에 필요한 적정 축열시스템을 산정할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 프로그램의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Fuel cells have attracted enormous interest as new power sources because the cells can be used to solve the problem of environmental pollution as well as the natural-resource exhaustion problem. In this study, hydrogen-gas flow in microchannels of different shapes was numerically analyzed to improve the efficiency of a microfuel cell. Flow characteristics in six microchannels of different shapes but under identical boundary conditions were simulated. The analysis result shows that the flow characteristics such as velocity, uniformity, and flow rate, greatly depend upon the channel shape. This implies that the efficiency of microfuel cell can be expected to be increased by adopting the optimal configuration of channel shape for hydrogen-gas flow. The experimental results show that power density of a PEMFC with a microflow channel is higher than that of a PEMFC without a microflow channel; however, a durable catalyst is required in MEA.

This study investigated the pressure difference distribution and the flow characteristics among room, ancillary room, and stair case by carrying out the numerical simulations on the air flow inside the pressurized air supply smoke control system. Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze pressure and velocity distribution of compartments by pressurized air supply for the air-leakage test facility which was built to measure the effective leakage area. In this study, the leakage of air was considered by locating the narrow slit onto fire door and window of room. Simulated results using this method precisely followed the previous experimental results for the pressure differences between the stair case and ancillary room. Predicted results showed that the local leakage of air rarely affected the overall flow pattern and pressure distribution. Although the average velocity over the door between room and ancillary room satisfied the regulation for fire safety, it was certified the unsafe outflow to ancillary room could be occurred in the local position such as the upper part of the door.

부정류 해석프로그램을 이용하여 각 절점에서 갑작스런 유량의 변화가 일어났다고 가정하여 부정류 해석을 수행하였다. 각 절점에서 소요유량(demand)이 추가로 발생할 경우에 대해서 부정류 해석을 수행하였다. 추가 소요유량이 발생하였다는 것은 그 절점에서의 누수량으로 간주할 수 있으므로 실제 일어날 수 있는 누수에 대한 민감도 분석을 하여 센서의 설치지점을 선정한다면 보다 더 정확한 모니터링 지점선정이 될 것으로 판단된다. 다음과 같은 두 가지 방법을 통하여 모니터링 최적지점 선정방법을 비교하였다. 첫 번째는 한 절점에서 갑작스런 소요유량의 변화가 발생하면 그로인해 부정류가 발생한다. 이때 각 절점에서의 압력변위와 유량변화가 발생한 절점의 압력비를 합하고 절점의 수로 평균하여 민감도 분석을 수행한다. 특정 절점에서 유량변화로 발생한 압력의 변화가 다른 절점에 얼마나 영향을 미치는지에 대한 기여도를 부정류 해석결과를 이용하여 정량적으로 산정하는 방법이다. 특정 절점에서 유량의 변화가 생겼으므로 부정류해석 결과는 누수가 없을 때 최초 계산하였던 각 절점에서의 압력이 크게 유동하게 된다. 이때의 최고치와 최저치의 차는 압력변위이고 최초압력과의 비를 합산하고 절점의 수로 평균한 값을 비교하였다. 이렇게 계산된 값이 가장 큰 절점이 모니터링 지점으로 우선 선정된다. 두 번째 방법은 유량변화로 발생한 절점의 압력변위와 그 절점의 최초압력의 비를 산정하는 방법이며 부정류해석결과를 이용하였다. 한 절점에서 유량을 변화시키고 부정류로 인해 발생하는 압력변위와 최초압력의 비를 합산하고 절점수로 평균하여 민감도 분석을 수행한 것이다. 어느 절점의 압력변위와 최초압력의 비를 정량적으로 산정하여 민감도를 분석하고 비교하였다.
