The vortex-type fluidic diode (FD) is a key safety component for inherent safety in various advanced reactors such as the sodium fast reactor (SFR) and the molten salt reactor (MSR). In this study, topology optimization is conducted to optimize the design of the vortex-type fluidic diode. The optimization domain is simplified to 2-dimensional geometry for a tangential port and chamber. As a result, a design with a circular chamber and a restrictor at the tangential port is obtained. To verify the new design, experimental study and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis were conducted for inlet Reynolds numbers between 2000 and 6000. However, the results show that the performance of the new design is no better than the original reference design. To analyze the cause of this result, detailed analysis is performed on the velocity and pressure field using flow visualization experiments and 3-D CFD analysis. The results show that the discrepancy between the optimization results in 2-D and the experimental results in 3-D originated from exclusion of an important pressure loss contributor in the optimization process. This study also concludes that the junction design of the axial port and chamber offers potential for improvement of fluidic diode performance.

Recently, various engineering approaches have been widely used in the accident investigation field to identify the cause of the accident and to predict damage by accident. Computational analysis is the most commonly used method of accident investigation technique. This technique is mainly used to identify the mechanism of the accident generation and to determine the cause when it is difficult to reproduce the situation at the time of the accident or when it is impossible to perform a reproduction experiment. In this study, The gas explosion analysis for LPG explosion accident generated by defect of the blocking action was performed to determine the accident object, gas leakage amount and predicted the damage caused by the accident using 3D laser scanner and FLACS program. We can quantify the explosive power by LPG gas accident and predict the gas leakage amount, damage by accident and evaluate the stability of the structure through this study. In the future, This method can be widely used in the field of gas safety by improving the reliability and validity of the analysis.

Low hemolysis is one of the key factors in the production of successful rotary blood pumps. It is, however, difficult to identify the areas where hemolysis occurs. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis enables the engineer to predict hemolysis on a computer Fluid dynamics in five different axial flow pumps was analyzed 3-dimensionally using CFD software. The impeller was rotated at a speed which supplied a flow of 5L/min at a pressure difference of 100mmHg. Changes in the turbulent kinetic energy along streamlines through the pumps were computed. Reynolds' shear stress( (equation omitted) ) was calculated using the turbulent kinetic energy. Hemolysis was evaluated based on Reynolds'shear stress and its exposure time(t) : dHb/Hb=3.62$\times$10$^{-5}$ $t^{0.785}$$\tau$$^{2.416}$ . Hemolysis of the pumps was measured in vitro using fresh bovine blood to which citrate phosphate dextrose was added to prevent clotting. A pump flow of 5L/min was maintained at a pressure difference of 100mmHg for 3h. The normalized index of hemolysis(NIH) as measured. Reynolds' shear stress was high behind the impellers. The measured NIH and the calculated hemolysis(dHb/Hb) shoed a good correlation; NIH=0.0003(dHb/Hb) (r=0.90, n=6) in the range of NIH between 0.003 and 1.1. CFD analysis can predict the in vitro results of hemolysis as well as the areas where hemolysis occurs.ysis occurs.

과거 도로터널 환기에 있어서 충격 손실은 설계에 반영되지 않았지만, 터널 내 네트워크형 구조로 인해 분기 합류부가 존재하는 복층 도로터널에서는 충격 손실에 의한 압력 손실이 크게 발생할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 네트워크형 구조를 가지는 복층 도로터널 최적 환기 설계를 위하여 분기 합류 지점에서 발생하는 충격 손실에 대한 3D 전산유체역학(CFD) 수치해석 연구를 수행한다. 이를 위해 복층 도로터널 표준단면을 적용한 실제 스케일 모델을 활용하여 전산 유체 역학을 수행하였고 다양한 각도와 차도폭에 대한 충격 손실 계수를 도출하여 기존의 설계 값과 비교 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 분기 구간에서는 30도의 분류 각도를 가진 모델의 충격 손실 계수가 높게 측정되었고, 합류 구간에서는 2차선으로 설계된 모델의 충격 손실 계수가 낮게 측정됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 분기 합류 각도와 차도폭이 충격 손실 산정에 있어서 중요한 설계 요소가 될 수 있으므로 환기기 용량 산정에 있어서 정확한 설계 인자를 제시할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 3D 전산유체역학(CFD)를 활용하여 확폭 교차 유 무에 따른 분기 합류 지점에서의 충격 손실 계수를 도출하고, ASHRAE 설계 값과 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 확폭 구간이 반영되지 않은 모델은 ASHRAE 값에 비해 최대 3배의 충격 손실 값을 확인하였고, 확폭 구간이 반영된 모델은 최대 2배의 값을 확인할 수 있었다.

A periodic CFD approach for the performance analysis of compact high temperature heat exchangers is introduced and applied to selected benchmark problems, which are a fully developed 2D laminar heat transfer, a conjugate heat transfer between parallel plates which have exact solutions, and a heat transfer in a real high temperature heat exchanger module. The results for the 2D laminar heat transfer and the 2D conjugate heat transfer showed a very good agreement with the exact solutions. For the high temperature heat exchanger module, the pressure drops were predicted well but some difference was observed in the temperature parameters when compared to the full channel CFD analysis due to assumptions introduced into the periodic approach. Considering its assumptions and simplicities, however, the results showed that the periodic approach provides physically reasonable results and it is sufficient to predict the performance of a heat exchanger within an engineering margin and with much less CPU time than the case of a full channel analysis.

In this study, an experimental device was fabricated to evaluate the hovering flight performance of a single rotor on a hexacopter used for river surveillance, and a thrust performance test was conducted. In addition, the 3D profile of the propeller was extracted by 3D scanning and CFD analysis was performed using ANSYS CFD 14.5 based on the extracted 3D model of the propeller. The aerodynamic characteristics were compared with the results of the performance tests and CFD analysis, and the vortex structure corresponding to each motor rotational speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) was identified. In the future, we plan to provide valuable data for multicopter propeller design and performance verification.

NREL Phase VI 수평축 풍력터빈 주위의 3차원 유동에 대하여 미끄럼 격자 기법을 사용한 비정상 RANS 해석을 수행하였다. 블레이드/타워의 간섭영향을 해석하기 위하여 로터단일과 로터/타워/나셀의 2가지 해석 모델을 구축하였다. 로터/타워/나셀의 해석 결과를 NREL의 실험데이터와 비교하여 CFD 해석모델의 유용성을 확인하였다. 두 모델에 의한 해석 결과의 비교를 통하여 비록 상풍형 풍력터빈으로서 작기는 하지만 타워/나셀의 영향이 확실히 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 다른 가시화 결과와 토크를 포함한 적분 공력하중 등도 구축한 CFD 모델의 비정상 유동해석 능력이 효과적임을 보여주고 있다.

This study is to investigate the air flow around a sirocco fan which is used in a range hood. The main object of the study is to improve the flow rate of the fan by analysis of unsteady 3-dimensional incompressible flow. Overall analysis is carried out using CFD method. For this, we used a commercial code, SC/Tetra, and used a sliding mesh method to give the same condition as an actual state. First, verification of the CFD results is done by comparing the experimental data with the numerical data for the suction flow rate. It is confirmed that two results are well consistent. Then for the improvent of flow rate, the effect of shape factors such as diameter ratio of fan, geometry of case, cut-off aperture and guide angle of case exit on the suction flow rate was considered. Especially, for a new design of housing, the principle of Archimedes spiral was used. The overall analysis was applied to a new design of housing, and the result showed an increase of flow rate by 10.7%.

This paper presents a CFD-based methodology for the prediction of guide vane torque in hydraulic turbine distributor for aligned and misaligned configurations. A misaligned or desynchronized configuration occurs when the opening angle of one guide vane differs from the opening angle of all other guide vanes, which may lead to a torque increase on neighbouring guide vanes. A fully automated numerical procedure is presented, that automates computations for a complete range of operation of a 2D or 3D distributor. Results are validated against laboratory measurements.
