In order to improve the propeller cavitation performance composed of Cavitation Inception Speed (CIS), cavitation extent and pressure fluctuation, it needs to improve the wake distribution that flows into the propeller. The warship propeller cavitation is strongly influenced by the wake created at the V-strut of various appendages. The inflow characteristics of the V-strut were investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the twisted angles of the V-strut were aligned with upstream flow. The resistance and self-propulsion tests for the model ship with the existing and modified V-struts were conducted in Towing Tank (TT), and wake distribution, CIS, cavitation observation and pressure fluctuation tests were conducted in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). The propeller behind the modified V-strut showed better cavitation characteristics than that behind the existing V-strut. Another model test was conducted to investigate rudder cavitation performance by the change of the V-strut. The rudder cavitation characteristics were not improved by the change of the operating conditions. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the stern appendages for better propeller cavitation performance would be developed.

Pressure relief valve (PRV) is one of the important control valves used in nuclear power plants, and its sealing performance is crucial to ensure the safety and function of the entire pressure system. For the sealing performance improving purpose, an explicit function that accounts for all design parameters and can accurately describe the relationship between the multi-design parameters and the seal performance is essential, which is also the challenge of the valve seal design and/or optimization work. On this basis, a surrogate model-based design optimization is carried out in this paper. To obtain the basic data required by the surrogate model, both the Finite Element Model (FEM) and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based numerical models were successively established, and thereby both the contact stresses of valve static sealing and dynamic impact (between valve disk and nozzle) could be predicted. With these basic data, the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) surrogate model which can not only be used for inputs-outputs relationship construction, but also produce the sensitivity of different design parameters were developed. Based on the PCE surrogate model, a new design scheme was obtained after optimization, in which the valve sealing stress is increased by 24.42% while keeping the maximum impact stress lower than 90% of the material allowable stress. The result confirms the ability and feasibility of the method proposed in this paper, and should also be suitable for performance design optimizations of control valves with similar structures.

In high-density high-rise cities such as Hong Kong, buildings account for nearly 90% of energy consumption and 61% of carbon emissions. Therefore, it is important to study the design of buildings, especially high-rise buildings, to achieve lower carbon emissions in the city. The carbon emissions of a building consist of embodied carbon from the production of construction materials and operational carbon from energy consumption during daily operation (e.g., air-conditioning and lighting). An integrated analysis of both types of carbon emissions can strengthen the design of low carbon buildings, but most of the previous studies concentrated mainly on either embodied or operational carbon. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to develop a holistic methodology framework considering both embodied and operational carbon, in order to enhance the sustainable design of low carbon high-rise buildings. The framework will be based on the building information modeling (BIM) technology because BIM can be integrated with simulation systems and digital models of different disciplines, thereby enabling a holistic design and assessment of low carbon buildings. Structural analysis program is first coupled with BIM to validate the structural performance of a building design. The amounts of construction materials and embodied carbon are then quantified by a BIM-based program using the Dynamo programming interface. Operational carbon is quantified by energy simulation software based on the green building extensible Markup Language (gbXML) file from BIM. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) will be applied to analyze the ambient wind effect on indoor temperature and operational carbon. The BIM-based framework serves as a decision support tool to compare and explore more environmentally-sustainable design options to help reduce the carbon emissions in buildings.

본 연구에서는 국내에 가장 많이 보급되어 있는 1-2W 모델 연동온실에 대한 온실 규격 및 환기창 형태 실태 조사를 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 연동온실의 천창 형태에 따른 유동 특성을 분석하기 위해 수치해석을 수행하여 자연환기효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 온실 실태조사 대상농가의 환기창면적 비율은 평균10%로 자연환기를 위한 시설면적 대비 환기창 면적 설계가 부족한 것으로 나타나 환기창 개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 연동 온실의 천창 형태별 자연환기를 해석 및 분석한 결과, 온실 내 작물위치의 온도 분포 및 내외부 온도차는 몽골식 천창 온실에서 가장 낮고 외몽골식 천창 온실에서 가장 높게 나타났으나 추후 풍하중에 의한 구조적인 안전성을 평가해야할 것으로 판단된다.

연무거동을 해석하는 방법 중에서 실물을 이용한 실험방법이 가장 믿을 수 있는 자료를 제공하지만 여러 가지 제한사항들로 인해 축소모델실험을 이용한 상사방법이나 CFD(computational fluid dynamics)를 이용한 수치해석적 방법이 대안으로 채택되고 있다. 본 연구는 연무거동을 수치해석적 방법으로 예측하여 연층의 높이에 따른 배기량을 산정하고자 했다. 수치해석에 사용된 격자는 축소실험에서 사용된 모델 A, B와 동일한 크기 및 형상을 가진다. 배기량은 수치해석으로 예측된 연소생성물들의 몰비를 이용하여 연층의 높이를 예측하고 그때의 배기가스 온도 및 유속으로 산정되었다. 수치해석 결과, 벽면 열손실 및 복사효과를 고려하여 예측된 배기량이 축소모델 실험결과의 표준편차 범위 내에 존재하였지만 에너지 방출량이 증가할수록 예측된 연무의 온도가 실험과 많은 차이를 보였고 비교적 열손실에 의한 영향이 적은 모델 B를 이용한 계산결과에서는 연무의 거동이 실험결과와 유사한 패턴을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 열손실을 보정할 적절한 보정계수를 구할 수 있다면 배기량 산정에 관한 다양한 후속연구를 수치해석적 방법을 이용해 진행할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The effects of meteorological and reclaiming conditions on the reduction of suspended particles are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence closure scheme based on the renormalization group (RNG) theory. Twelve numerical experiments with different meteorological and reclaiming conditions are performed. For identifying the meteorological characteristics of the target area and providing the inflow conditions of the CFD model, the observed data from the automatic weather station (AWS) near the target area is analyzed. Complicated flow patterns such as flow distortion, horse-shoe vortex, recirculation zone, and channeling flow appeared due to the topography and buildings in the domain. Specially, the flow characteristics around the reclamation area are affected by the reclaiming height, reclaiming size and windbreak height. Reclaiming height affected the wind speed above the reclaiming area. Windbreak induces more complicated flow patterns around the reclaiming area as well as within the reclaiming area. In front of the windbreak, flow is distorted as it impinges on the windbreak. As a result, upward flow is generated there. Behind the windbreak, a secondary circulation, so called, a recirculation zone is generated and flow is reattached at the end of the recirculation zone (reattachment point). At the lower part of the recirculation zone, there is a reverse flow toward the windbreak. Flow passing to the reattachment point starts to be recovered. Total amounts of suspended particles are calculated using the frictional and threshold frictional velocities, erosion potential function, and the number of surface disturbance. In the case of a 10 m-reclaiming and northerly wind, the amount of suspended particles is largest. In the presence of 5 m windbreak, the friction velocity above the reclaiming area is largely reduced. As a result, the total amount of the suspended particles largely decreases, compared to the case with the same reclaiming and meteorological conditions except for the windbreak The calculated suspended particle amounts are used as the emission rate of the dispersion model simulations and the dispersion characteristics of the suspended particles are analyzed.

This paper provides a practical scaling method to solve an old problem for scaling and developing the speed and resistance of a model to full-scale submarine in fully submerged underwater test. In every experimental test in towing tank, water tunnel and wind tunnel, in the first step, the speed of a model should be scaled to the full-scale vessel (ship or submarine). In the second step, the obtained resistance of the model should be developed. For submarine, there are two modes of movement: surface and submerged mode. There is no matter in surface mode because, according to Froude's law, the ratio of speed of the model to the full-scale vessel is proportional to the square root of lengths (length of the model on the length of the vessel). This leads to a reasonable speed and is not so much for the model that is applicable in the laboratory. The main problem is in submerged mode (fully submerged) that there isn't surface wave effect and therefore, Froude's law couldn't be used. Reynold's similarity is actually impossible to implement because it leads to very high speeds of the model that is impossible in a laboratory and inside the water. According to Reynold's similarity, the ratio of speed of the model to the full-scale vessel is proportional to the ratio of the full-scale length to the model length that leads to a too high speed. This paper proves that there is no need for exact Reynold's similarity because after a special Reynolds, resistance coefficient remains constant. Therefore, there is not compulsion for high speeds of the model. For proving this finding, three groups of results are presented: two cases are based on CFD method, and one case is based on the model test in towing tank. All these three results are presented for three different shapes that can show; this finding is independent of the shapes and geometries. For CFD method, Flow Vision software has been used.

산림 화재는 여러 가지 변수를 포함하고 있지만 바람장에 의한 영향이 다른 어떠한 변수보다 상대적으로 크므로 봄철 산림지형에서의 풍향풍속을 알고 있다는 것은 산불진화기술 및 산불확산예측을 결정하는데 핵심 요소이다. 현재는 산림 지역의 풍향풍속 산정을 위하여 기상관측소의 데이터를 의존하게 된다. 기상청의 automatic weather station (AWS)는 넓은 지역에 골고루 분포하고 있어 비교적 간편하게 데이터를 취득할 수 있으나 실제 산림지역의 기상인자와는 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 AWS가 설치되어 있지 않은 산악지형의 바람장을 실측하고 이를 통하여 바람장 예측의 가능성을 타진하였다. 실측 지형으로 단순 구릉 지형을 선택하여 주변의 지형지물에 의한 바람장의 왜곡을 최소화 하였으며, 이들 지형에서 바람장의 실측 및 전산유체해석을 통하여 얻어진 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 단순 구릉 지형으로는 제주도 오름과 안면도 마검포 지형을 선택하여 바람장 데이터를 취득 하였으며, 이를 분석한 결과 바람장의 패턴추출이 가능하다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the air quality surrounding an indoor swimming pool, to estimate the cancer risk based on the airborne exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs), and to examine the ventilation efficiency by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Chlorine and THMs were measured poolside, and in the staff room and reception area. The indoor swimming pool was modeled using the Airpak program, with ventilation drawings and actual survey data. Temperature, flow and mean age of the air were analyzed. Levels of chlorine poolside, and in the staff room, and reception area were $203\;{\mu}g/m^3$, $5\;{\mu}g/m^3$, and $10\;{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. Chloroform was the dominant THM in all sampling sites and mean concentrations were $16.30\;{\mu}g/m^3$, $0.51\;{\mu}g/m^3$, and $0.06\;{\mu}g/m^3$ poolside, in the staff room and reception area, respectively. Bromodichloromethane and Dibromochloromethane levels were respectively estimated as $10.3\;{\mu}g/m^3$ and $1.7\;{\mu}g/m^3$ poolside, $1.3\;{\mu}g/m^3$ and $0.1\;{\mu}g/m^3$ in the staff room, and were not detected in the reception area. The cancer risks from inhalation exposure to THMs were estimated between $3.37{\times}10^{-7}$ and $1.84{\times}10^{-5}$. A short circulation phenomenon was observed from the supply air vents to the exhaust air vents located in the ceiling. A high temperature layer was formed within one meter of the ceiling, and a low temperature layer was formed under this layer due to the low velocity and high temperature of the supply air, and the improper locations of the supply air vents and exhaust air vents. The stagnation was evident at the above adult pool and the mean age of the air was 22 minutes. Disinfection by-products in the indoor swimming pool were present in higher concentrations than in the outdoor air. In order to increase the removal of pollutants, adjustment was required of the supply air volume and the supply/exhaust position.
