In our previous work, 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing microfluidic device (3D-HFMD) has been developed with the help of locally increased aspect ratio of thickness to width without any horizontal separation wall. In this study, we have investigated 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing behaviors inside the 3D-HFMD according to the various geometric and flow conditions. The parametric study has been extensively carried out for the effects of geometric and flow conditions on 3-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing with both 3D-HFMD and previous microfluidic device design based on three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The CFD simulations suggested the proper design window of channel geometry and flow conditions.

In this study, one dimensional aerodynamic and structural study of a partial admission turbo pump turbine was performed. A turbine consists of a nozzle, rotor, outlet guide vanes. The aerodynamic characteristics of each component was derived from the governing equation and validated from the CFD calculations. One-dimensional basic design such as velocity triangles was conducted from the mean line analysis and modified from the 2-D and 3-D CFD analysis. The blade profile was determined by the CFD optimization. The thermal stress analysis and structural analysis are needed to be studied in the next design stage.

A water shortage is one of the most important factors for development and management of water resources. For reliable water shortage measurement in a stream, Korea Water Resources Corporation(KOWACO) founded five foot Parshall flume at Yong-dam experimental watershed in 2000. The Parshall flume has a specially designed shape to facilitate flow measurements by eliminating sediment deposition problem that could lead to an incorrect measurement. In this study, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) model was used to analyze flow behavior of Parshall Flume under free discharge of five headwater level cases. The flow rates computed by CFD model are compared with those by ISO's formula, USBR's formula and stage-discharge rating curves. Flow rates computed by ISO's and USBR's formula are mostly same, but flow rate by CFD model is larger than empirical value by 9% and flow rate by stage-discharge rating curves is less than empirical value by 16%.

The purpose of this study is enhancing CFD model by applying detailed and accurate CFD input data produced from 3D City model and integrating CFD model with 3D city model with OpenGL, 3D city aerodynamic simulation, and visualization tool. CFD_NIMR_SNU model developed by NIMR and SNU and 3D City model produced by NGII were used as input data. Wind flow and pollution diffusion simulator and viewer were developed in this study. Atmospheric environment simulation and visualization tool will save time and cost for urban climate planning and management by enhancing visual communication.

논의 배수특성 분석은 물꼬 크기 및 개소수, 배수로 구성, 규모, 경사, 재질 등과 같은 물리적 특성 인자들의 영향으로 인해 일반적인 유역의 홍수량 산정을 위해 사용되는 수문학적 홍수추적 방법의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 논에서의 유출을 모의하기 위해서는 수리학적 홍수추적 방법의 적용이 필요하며, 기존의 연구들은 대부분 1차원과 2차원의 수치 해석 기법으로 논의 유출 특성을 분석해왔다. 3차원 수치 해석 기법을 적용할 경우 1차원과 2차원에서 볼 수 없는 유동 특성 등을 파악할 수 있으며, 보다 정확한 유출 모의가 가능할 것으로 기대된다. 하지만 3차원 해석은 비교적 구조가 단순한 논에 적용하기에는 시간과 비용이 과도하게 소모된다는 단점이 있다. 한편, 상사법칙은 주로 실험의 스케일을 줄이기 위해 적용되어 왔다. 정확성에 대한 검증이 이루어진다면, 시간이 오래 걸리는 3차원 모델링에 상사법칙을 적용할 경우, 모의 시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 장점이 있을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3차원 수치 해석 모형인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 논에서의 유출을 모의하고, 적용성을 평가하고자 한다. 또한 상사법칙을 이용하여 모의 시간을 단축할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 모의 대상으로 40m x 100m의 논 포장을 구성하였으며, 강우 및 관개에 따른 유출을 모의하였다. 모의 결과는 실측치 및 기존 연구의 결과와 비교하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 또한 수리학적 상사법칙을 적용하여 조건을 변화시켜가며 유출을 모의하였고, 모의 조건 및 모의 시간 변화에 따른 정확성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법은 논에서의 유출 모의의 정확성을 향상 시켜, 홍수 발생 시 농경지의 침수 대책 마련에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this 3-D numerical simulation is to calculate and examine a 500 kW Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) power performance and 3-D rotor flow characteristics, which are compared to calculation data from Delft University. The experimental approach, which has been the main method of investigation, appears to be reaching its limits, the cost increasing relate with the size of wind turbines. Hence, the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Navier-Stokes solvers is considered a very serious contender. We has used the CFD software package CFX-TASCflow as a modeling tool to predict the power performance and 3-D flow characteristics of a wind turbine on the basis of its geometry and operating data. The wind turbine with 40m diameters rotor, it was scaled to compare with the calculation data from delft university. The HAWT, which has eight-rpm variations are investigated respectively. The pitch angle is $+0.5^{\circ}$and wind speed is fixed at 5m/s. The tip speed ratio (TSR) of the HAWT ranging from 2.89 to 9.63.

Recent evolution of computer technology enhances the effectiveness of CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis for the 3-dimensional complex transport phenomena including turbulent flows. Cheaper and easier than laser and ultra-sonic methods, the windows simulator name by CAMSI(Computer-Aided Management of Stereo Images) has been developed in order to implement the 3-dimensional image using a disparity histogram extracted from left and right stereo images. In our program using the area-based method, the matching pixel finding methods consist of SSD(Sum of Squared Distance), SAD(Sum of Absolute Distance), NCC(Normalized Correlation Coefficient) and MPC(Matching Pixel Count). On performing the program, stereo images on different window sizes for various matching pixel finding methods are compared reasonably. When the image has a small noise, SSD on small window size is more effective. Whereas there is much noise, NCC or MPC is more effective than SSD. CAMSI from the present study will be much helpful to implement the complex objects and to analyze 3-dimensional CFD around them.

This paper investigates CFD investigation on single phase supersonic nozzle flow and 2-phase subson ic flow prior to rocket nozzle supersonic 2-phase flow with water injection within the flame deflector. Numerical results of supersonic nozzle single phase flow showed no notable unrealistic behavior as it captures the usual shock cell structures. Three-dimensional 2-phase flow analysis has also been performed to verify whether the approach can grab the droplet behavior during cooling by water injection. It is expected these basic studies will enhance the cooling problem analysis of supersonic 2-phase rocket plume in the future.
