A cascade wind tunnel test for a turbine nozzle, which was designed for a small turbo jet engine in a previous study, has been conducted to evaluate its aerodynamic performance and losses. The large-scale blades were based on the mid-span profile of the nozzle. Oil film flow structure, and then 3-dimensional velocity components were measured in the flow passage with a 5-hold pressure probe, in addition to turbulent intensities at mid-span of cascade exit using a hot-wire anemometer. From this study, 3-dimensional growth of horseshoe and passage vortices in the downstream direction was clearly understood with near-wall flow phenomena. In addition, secondary flow and losses associated with the blade configuration were obtained in detail.

Finely atomized fuel droplet and good mixed mixture plays very important in improving combustion efficiency in an spark ignition engine. And combustion efficiency has influence directly on the engine power, fuel consumption rate and pollutant emission. In this study, perforated throttle valve which has relatively low value of PR has been developed and studied for the purpose of improving those aims. As a result of this study, it has been verified that the perforated throttle valve makes droplet more finely, and also proved that has a function of contributing to form good mixed mixture, especially in mixture preparation system of carburetor or SPI type spark ignition engine.

Ejector-diffuser system makes use of high-pressure primary stream to entrain the low-pressure secondary stream through pure shear action between two streams. In general, the flow field in the ejector-diffuser system is highly complicated due to turbulent mixing, compressibility effects. A fatal drawback of the ejector system is in its low efficiency. Many works have been done to improve the performance of the ejector system, but not yet satisfactory. In the present study, a mixing guide vane was installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A CFD method has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows inside the ejector-diffuser system. The present results obtained were validated with existing experimental data. The mixing guide vane effects are discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, total pressure loss as well as pressure recovery.

Hydraulic dual chamber, as the simulator for a dual pulse rocket motor, was tested by a high pressure device with various orifice-hole size being applied. Pressure difference occurs between 1st chamber and 2nd chamber depending on area ratio of the orifice to nozzle throat. Studying a design configuration of the orifice is essential to the motor development because pressure difference severely affects the rocket motor performance. It is noticed in this study that energy dissipation is caused by the vortex flow originating from the orifice as the 2nd chamber is operated. The flow field is simulated by a commercial computational fluid dynamics program, ANSYS FLUENT V14.5.

In order to predict the performance of subsonic/sonic ejector system and to provide fundamental data for a cost effective design, one dimensional gas dynamics theory was applied to the subsonic and sonic ejector systems with the second throat. In the current theoretical analyses, ejector throat area ratio, mass flow ratio and secondary stagnation pressure were derived as a function of the operating pressure ratio of the ejector, and the discharge coefficient of the primary nozzle and the loss coefficient of the diffuser were incorporated into the whole performance of the ejector system. The results of theoretical analysis can be applied to practical industrial use of subsonic and sonic gas ejector systems.

This paper presents the shape optimization of the endwall which improve the aerothermal environment of a gas turbine passage. A nonaxisymmetric endwall technique was adapted as the improving method. The turbine passage was simulated by a $90^{\circ}$ turning duct ($Re_D$=360,000). The main purpose of the present investigation was to focus on finding a nonaxisymmetric endwall with minimum total pressure loss in the passage and heat transfer coefficient on the endwall of the duct. An approximate optimization method was used for the investigation to secure the computational efficiency. Results indicated that a significant improvement in aerothermal environment can be achieved through the application of a nonaxisymmetric endwall.

최근 우리나라는 집중호우로 인한 토석류의 발생이 현저하게 증가하고 있으며, 2002년 태풍 루사와 2003년 매미 그리고 2006년 7월 집중호우 등으로 인한 피해의 규모는 여러 조사와 문헌에서도 확인할 수 있다. 2011년 7월, 서울 우면산 일대에서는 집중호우로 인한 토석류가 발생하였으며, 16명의 인명손실을 포함한 큰 피해가 있었다. 우면산 토석류는 십여 개 지역에서 동시다발적으로 발생하였으며, 토석류 발생 유역 특성과 토석류의 유동특성을 분석하기 위한 현장 조사가 진행되었다. 조사한 자료에 따르면 우면산 일대의 일일 강우량은 서초 기상측정소를 기준으로 최대 24시간 누적 324mm 그리고 시간당 최대 68.5mm/hr를 기록하였다. 상업용 소프트웨어인 FLO-2D는 유사농도의 함수로서 점성(viscous)응력, 항복(yield)응력, 난류 및 분산(dispersive) 응력항을 포함하는 2차 유변학(quadratic rheology) 모델을 기본으로 사용하여 이류(mudflow)와 토석류(debris flow)를 모의할 수 있다. FLO-2D는 흐름의 운동량 및 에너지 보존을 고려하여 격자와 시간에 관계없이 유동심도, 속도, 압력을 예측할 수 있으며, 격자 기반의 모델로서 GIS 및 기타 응용 프로그램들과 연동이 쉽다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 하상침식에 의해 유발된 토석류의 체적 증가는 고려 할 수 없으므로 토석류의 전파 및 퇴적영역에서의 토석류 모의에만 사용할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 FLO-2D 소프트웨어를 이용하여 우면산에서의 토석류 현상을 재현하는 것이다. 우면산 일대에서 발생한 토석류 중 서초구 방배동의 래미안 아파트 부근에서 발생한 토석류에 대하여 수치지도(DEM)와 현장조사를 통해 얻은 지형자료, 해당 지역의 강우량 및 지질 특성 자료 등을 토대로 FLO-2D 모델을 적용하여 토석류의 흐름특성을 검토한다. 토석류 유동 및 퇴적에 대한 가용한 현장관측 자료와의 비교 분석을 통하여 토석류 특성 값을 산정하고, 모델의 적용성을 검증한다.

To predict performances of Stirling Engines, a second-order analysis method has been developed. The present method which is based on the approximate analytical solution to the Ideal Adiabatic Model includes major loss mechanisms due to finite heat transfer and flow friction. Comparison of calculated results with previously reported study for a specific engine shows reasonable agreements and a possibility of being used for basic designs. Also, predicted performances with repect to engine speeds are consistent with experimental data in trend. To improve the prediction capability of this method, it is needed that not only additional losses should be taken into account, but also fundamental characteristics of oscillating flow and heat transfer should be better understood.

The aerothermodynamic characteristics of SCRamjet engine for the airbreathing populsion system of the next generation flight vehicle are described. As the flow is passing by, combustion caused the total pressure loss and the Mach number decrease, but nozzle exit velocity is large enough to produce net thrust. To simulate supersonic combustion test, preliminary design of ground-based blowdown type supersonic combustion tunnel is attained. Minimum allowable operating pressure and mass flow rate are calculated for the design Mach number of 2.5 at the test section of a supersonic combustion tunnel.

핀-관 열교환기의 효율을 증대시키기 위하여는 열저항을 결정하는데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하는 공기측 열전달 특성의 향상이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 슬릿핀과 같은 핀 형상의 개선으로 인한 높은 압력손실을 감소시키기 위하여 타원관형 열교환기를 고려하였으며 이를 자체 개발한 3차원 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 코드를 이용하여 공기측 성능을 해석하였다. 이 코드는 시간항에 스칼라 내재적 근사분해법(scalar implicit approximate factorization)절차, 공간항에 유한체적법과 2차의 풍상차분법을 사용한다. 핀 형상이 평판핀인 타원관에 대하여 세장비가 0.3, 0.5, 0.75인 경우와 핀 형상이 슬릿핀이고 세장비가 0.5인 타원관에 대하여 공기측 유동을 해석하였으며 이를 원관의 성능과 비교하였다. 평판핀의 경우, 압력강하량은 원관과 비교하여 세장비가 작아질수록 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 열전달 계수는 고려한 유입속도 범위에서 원관을 기준으로 약 5%이하의 변화로 거의 동일하게 유지되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 슬릿핀의 경우 역시 문제되는 높은 압력강하량은 타원관을 도입함으로써 효과적으로 낮출 수 있음을 볼 수 있었다.
