The objective of this work is to reduce drag on a bluff body within a viscous flow by applying suction or injection of fluid along the surface of the body. In addition to minimizing drag, the optimal solution tends to reduce boundary layer separation and flow recirculation. When discretized by finite elements, the optimal control problem can be posed as a large-scale nonlinearly-constrained optimization problem. The constraints correspond to the discretized form of the Navier-Stokes equations. Unfortunately, solving such large-scale problems directly is essentially intractable. We developed several Sequential Quadratic Programming methods that are tailored to the structure of the control problem. Example problems of laminar flow around an infinite cylinder in two dimensions are solved to demonstrate the methodology. We use these optimal control techniques to study the influence of number of suction/injection holes and location of holes on the resulting optimized flow. We compare the proposed SQP methods against one another, as well as against available methods from the literature, from the point of view of efficiency and robustness. The most efficient of the proposed methods is two orders of magnitude faster than existing methods.

가스터빈 연소기의 연소 효율을 높이기 위해서는 연료와 공기의 충분한 혼합이 필요하다. 연료와 흡입되는 공기의 혼합은 큰 스케일의 난류 성분보다는 오히려 연소기내에서 국부적으로 작용하는 작은 스케일의 난류 성분에 크게 지배를 받게된다. 이러한 혼합 촉진을 위해 연료와 공기의 경계면에서의 운동에너지를 증가시키는 방법은 압력의 손실을 가져오게 되지만 혼합의 촉진에 의한 완전연소와 저 NOx화는 더 큰 이익을 가져다 준다.(중략)

슬롯판을 이용한 경사충격파와 경계층 간섭유동 제어에서, 슬롯판 아래에 있는 공동부의 형상을 바꾸어 가며 제어 성능을 비교하는 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 공동형상 직사각형 5개, 사다리꼴 3개를 선정하여 shock 뒤에서 경계층 안정성, 전압손실을 기준으로 제어 성능을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과 모든 형상에 대해 제어하지 않은 상태보다 좋은 성능을 얻었다. 그 중 경계층 안정성 측면에서는 형상 L과 R, 전압손실 감소 측면에서는 형상 M과 A가 효과적임을 확인하였고, 종합적으로 슬롯의 끝 면과 공동의 길이방향 끝 면이 일치하는 형상에서 상대적으로 좋은 결과를 얻음을 확인했다. 또한 슬롯과 공동 내부유동을 분석하면서 경계층 안정성과 전압손실 감소에 영향을 미치는 것은 separation 영역을 얼마 원활히 흡입하는지의 여부임을 알 수 있었고, 상류 슬롯에서 발생하는 shock에 대한 추후 해결 연구도 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Since radon is an inert gas and is a monoatomic molecule, the size of one particle represents the size of an atom, which means that it has a radius of approximately 1 to 100 nm. Therefore, if the mask has a radius smaller than the size of general fine dust and ultra fine dust, but it is possible to block the inhalation of radon more than a certain amount, it is considered that the exposure through the inhalation of radon can be reduced through normal indoor wear. Accordingly, we would like to find out the radon blocking effect of a mask worn in everyday life. Looking at the reduction rate of radon for each mask, cotton masks decreased by 33.45%, medical masks by 33.50%, KF 80 masks by 35.12%, and KF 94 masks by 37.72%. It was found that the radon blocking effect of the cotton and medical masks was somewhat inferior to that of the KF mask, but the difference was not so great that the introduction of radon into the air could be blocked to a certain level by wearing a mask.

The purpose of this study is to secure the design data for the optimization of the radial turbine and heat cycle system, by using the CFD analysis technique and the design of 100kW class radial turbine applicable to waste heat recovery generation system for ship. Radial turbine was comprised of scroll casing, vane nozzle with 18 blades and rotor with 13 blades, and analysis grid was used to about 2.3 million. Mass flow rate and rotational speed was 0.5kg/s, 75,0000rpm, respectively. Eight kinds of inlet pressure was set between 195 and 620kPa. As the flow accelerated through the nozzle passage to the throat, the pressure level at the pressure and suction sides becomed similar to about Mach number of 0.35. When the inlet temperature and pressure was $250^{\circ}C$, 352kPa respectively, the isentropic efficiency and mechanical power showed the analysis results of 74% and 108kW.

The focus of this work is on the development of large-scale numerical optimization methods for optimal control of steady incompressible Navier-Stokes flows. The control is affected by the suction or injection of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function represents the rate at which energy is dissipated in the fluid. We develop reduced Hessian sequential quadratic programming. Both quasi-Newton and Newton variants are developed and compared to the approach of eliminating the flow equations and variables, which is effectively the generalized reduced gradient method. Optimal control problems we solved for two-dimensional flow around a cylinder. The examples demonstrate at least an order-of-magnitude reduction in time taken, allowing the optimal solution of flow control problems in as little as half an hour on a desktop workstation.

The objective of this study is to develop efficient numerical method to enable solution of optimal control problems of Navier-Stokes flows and to apply these technique to the problem of viscous drag minimization on a bluff body by controlling boundary velocities on the surface of the body. In addition to the industrial importance of the drag reduction problem, it serves as a model for other more complex flow optimization settings, and allows us to study, modify, and improve the behavior of the optimal control methods proposed here. The control is affected by the suction or injection of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function represents the rate at which energy is dissipated in the fluid. This study shows how reduced Hessian successive quadratic programming method, which avoid converging the flow equations at each iteration, can be tailored to these problems.

The objective of this study is to investigate the three-dimensional turbulence flow characteristics of a rotor passage of an one-stage axial flow gas turbine and to investigate the effects of a boundary layer fence installed on the hub endwall of the rotor passage. Secondary flows occurring within the rotor passage (e.g. horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, and cross flow) cause secondary loss and reduce turbine efficiency. To control these secondary flows, a boundary layer fence measuring half the height of the thickness of the inlet boundary layer was installed on the hub endwall of the rotor passage. This study was performed numerically. The results show that the wake and secondary flows generated by the stator reduced the rotor load to constrain the development of cross flow and secondary flow reinforced by the rotor passage. In addition, the secondary vortices occurring within the rotor passage were reduced by the rotation of the rotor. Although, the boundary layer fence induced additional vortices, giving rise to an additional loss of turbine, its presence was shown to reduce the total pressure loss when compared to effects of the case without fence regardless of the relative position of blades by enervating secondary vortices occurred within the rotor passage.

The present paper describes a mathematical modeling and simulation of the separation of a solid rocket booster from an air breathing engine vehicle. The vehicle and booster are considered as a multi-connected body and the booster is assumed to move only along the axial direction of the vehicle. The dynamic motion of the vehicle and the booster were modeled by using Kane's method. The aerodynamic forces on the whole system along various positions of booster were calculated by using DATCOM software and the internal pressure force acting on the effective surface during separation was simply calculated with gas dynamics and Taylor MacColl equation. Numerical simulation was done by using Mathworks-Matlab. From the result, the variation of Mach number and angle of attack are not large during the separation, so the variation of pitch angle and the characteristics of inlet flow for varying the Mach number and angle of attack during the separation test can be identified as neglectable values.

수자원 확보를 위해 건설된 저수지는 내외부위의 여러 가지 환경영향으로 인해 수질문제가 종종 발생한다. 이런 수질문제에 대처하기 위해 다양한 형태의 수질개선 장치가 고안되어 적용되고 있으며, 물순환장치도 그 중에 하나이다. 물순환장치는 수층에 산소를 공급하고 표층의 조류제어, 이취미 제거 등 다양한 목적으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 저수지에 설치된 대류식 물순환장치의 수질개선 효과를 평가해 보았다. 수체가 큰 저수지에서의 조사는 매우 어려운 점이 있으나, 조사방법은 물순환장치로 부터 일정거리에서 수심별 수질조사를 실시하였으며, 물순환장치가 가동되는 지역과 장치가 없는 지역에 대한 조사를 실시하여 그 차이 만큼을 수질개선 효과로 평가하였다. 현장조사는 물순환장치로부터 1m, 3m, 5m, 7m, 10m, 13m, 15m 떨어진 지점에서 유속과 수질조사를 실시하였으며, 유속은 표면유속만 측정하였고 수질은 수표면에서부터 저수지 바닥까지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 수체의 물리적 조건은 계절에 따라 다양한 변화를 보였으나, 양수된 저층수의 흐름은 수평방향으로 흘러들어가면서 온도변화에 따라 혼합되거나 하강하는 것으로 나타났다. 심층 혐기성층이 발달된 상황에서 물순환장치의 가동은 물순환장치 흡입구 근처의 혐기성층을 흡입하여 표층으로 확산시켰고 이로인해 주변의 수체가 물순환장치 흡입구로 밀려오면서 심층의 혐기성층이 약화되는 현상을 나타냈다. 조류가 발생한 기간중에 물순환장치에 의한 조류제어 효과는 심층수가 상승하여 확산되는 수평방향으로 반경 약 10m 지점까지 조류농도가 낮아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 조류농도가 낮아지는 기간에는 그 영향범위가 조금 적어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼때 저수지에 설치되어 운영되는 대류식 물순환장치는 심층의 혐기화 개선과 표층의 조류제어에 효과가 있는 것으로 판단할수 있으나, 조류제어에 대해서는 좀 더 심도있는 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
