In this study, aerodynamic analyses have been conducted for 4-Bladed Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) configuration and the results are compared with experimental data. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation with LES turbulence model is solved for unsteady flow problems. In addition, the computation results by standard k-${\omega}$ and SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence models are also presented and compared. An experiment model of 4-Bladed VAWT model has been designed and constructed herein. Experimental tests for aerodynamic performance of the present VAWT model are practically conducted using the vehicle mounted testing system. Comparison results between the experiment and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are presented in order to show the accuracy of CFD analyses using the different turbulent models.

Wall functions have been widely used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and can save significant computational costs compared to other near-wall flow treatment strategies. However, most of the existing wall functions were based on the asymptotic characteristics of near-wall flow quantities, which are inapplicable in complex and non-equilibrium flows. A modified wall function is thus derived in this study based on flow over a plate at zero-pressure gradient, instead of on the basis of asymptotic formulations. Turbulent kinetic energy generation ($G_P$), dissipation rate (${\varepsilon}$) and shear stress (${\tau}_{\omega}$) are composed together as the near-wall expressions. Performances of the modified wall function combined with the nonlinear realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are investigated in homogeneous equilibrium atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) and flow around a 6 m cube. The computational results and associated comparisons to available full-scale measurements show a clear improvement over the standard wall function, especially in reproducing the boundary layer flow. It is demonstrated through the two case studies that the modified wall function is indeed adaptive and can yield accurate prediction results, in spite of its simplicity.

The new and renewable energy today has a great interest in all countries around the world. In special it has need more limit of the fossil fuel that needs of low carbon emission among the social necessary conditions. Recently, the high-rise building demand the structural safety, the economic feasibility and the functional design. The high-rise building spends enormous energy and it satisfied the design in solving energy requirements. The requirements of energy for the building depends on the partly form wind energy due to the cladding of the building that came from the surroundings of the high-rise building. In this study of the wind energy, the cladding of the building was assessed a tentative study. The wind energy obtains from several small wind powers that came from the building or the surrounding of the building. In making a cladding the wind energy forms with wind pressure by means of energy transformation methods. The assessment for the building cladding was surrounded of wind speed and wind pressure that was carried out as a result of numerical simulation of wind environment and wind pressure which is coefficient around the high-rise building with the computational fluid dynamics. In case of the obtained wind energy from the pressure of the building cladding was estimated by the simulation of CFD of the building. The wind energy at this case was calculated by energy transform methods: the wind pressure coefficients were obtained from the simulated model for wind environment using CFD as follow. The concept for the factor of $E_f$ was suggested in this study. $$C_p=\frac{P_{surface}}{0.5{\rho}V^{2ref}}$$ $$E_c=C_p{\cdot}E_f$$ Where $C_p$ is wind pressure coefficient from CFD, $E_f$ means energy transformation parameter from the principle of the conservation of energy and $E_c$ means energy from the building cladding. The other wind energy that is $E_p$ was assessed by wind power on the building or building surroundings. In this case the small wind power system was carried out for wind energy on the place with the building and it was simulated by computational fluid dynamics. Therefore the total wind energy in the building was calculated as the follows. $$E=E_c+E_p$$ The energy transformation, which is $E_f$ will need more research and estimation for various wind situation of the building. It is necessary for the assessment to make a comparative study about the wind tunnel test or full scale test.

In order to analyse the thermal performance of battery systems in electric vehicles complex simulation models with high computational cost are necessary. Using reduced order methods, real-time applicable model can be developed and used for on-board monitoring. In this work a data driven model of the cooling plate as part of the battery system is built and derived from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The aim of this paper is to create a meta model of the cooling plate that estimates the temperature at the boundary for different heat flow rates, mass flows and inlet temperatures of the cooling fluid. In order to do so, the cooling plate is simulated in a CFD software (ANSYS Fluent ®). A data driven model is built using the design of experiment (DOE) and various approximation methods in Optimus ®. The model can later be combined with a reduced model of the thermal battery system. The assumption and simplification introduced in this paper enable an accurate representation of the cooling plate with a real-time applicable model.

Fischer-Tropsch 반응기 내 복잡한 반응과 흐름을 상세히 모델링하는 것은 CFD 분야에 있어 도전적 과제이다. Fischer-Tropsch 반응은 여러 가지 탄소수를 가진 탄화수소들을 만들어내는데, 탄화수소에는 무수히 많은 이성질체가 존재하는 이유로 모든 화학종에 대해서 각각의 반응속도식을 도출해 적용하는 것은 어렵다. 이의 극복을 위해 기존 연구들에서 사용된 반응속도식 모델링 방법론들을 분석한 뒤, 화학종별 상세한 반응속도식 적용을 위해 non-Anderson-Schulz-Flory 방법론을 선정하여 상세 모델링을 진행하였다. 또한 반응 특성상 다상 흐름 형태를 띠는데, 다상 흐름 모델링의 경우 상간의 간섭이나 분산상의 분포 및 유동 형태 등에 따라 적합한 모델링 방법론이 다르다. 그러나 기존 연구들에서는 타당성에 대한 논의나 근거 제시 없이 각양각색의 내부 흐름 모델링 방법론이 사용되고 있다. 실험을 통해 내부 흐름 형태를 관찰한 뒤 유동 형태에 따른 모델링을 진행하는 것이 최선이나, 자원 여건상 어려움이 있어, 본 연구에서는 전통적인 유체역학 이론에 근거해 내부 흐름 형태를 먼저 추론하고 Mixture 모델 방법론을 선정하여 체계적인 CFD 모델링을 진행함으로써, 사용된 방법론에 대한 근거를 마련하고자 하였다. 10가지 실험조건에서 진행한 실험 결과와 본 연구의 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하였으며, 이를 통해 본 연구가 제안하는 체계적 모델링 방법론의 타당성을 입증하였다.

본 연구에서는 CFD 모사와 PIV 기법을 이용하여 실규모의 사이드 스트림 방식의 막 모듈을 대상으로 유입부의 수리구조를 개선하여 모듈로 유입되는 유입 유량을 수직으로 균등하게 분포시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하고 이를 실험적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 사이드 스트림 방식의 막 모듈을 대상으로 유입 유량을 수직으로 균등하게 분포시킬 수 있는 방안을 CFD로 설계한 결과, 내부 유입 수리구조에 유공 격벽을 설치함으로써 모듈내로의 유입유량은 표준편차 기준으로 약 40% 정도 감소됨을 확인하였다. 또한 CFD 결과를 검증하고 사이드 스트림 막 모듈의 편중된 오염의 원인을 조사하기 위해 수행된 입자영상유속 측정 결과로부터 유입구 반대편 유공에서 막 모듈 내부로 들어오는 수체의 유속이 상대적으로 커 수체의 모멘텀이 유입구 측벽에 강한 전단력을 발생하지만 유입구 반대 측벽에서는 사류가 형성됨을 확인하였다.

Hydraulic servo valves are widely used in various fluid power systems because of their fast response and precision control. In this paper, we studied the effect of metering notch shapes and amount of their openings on the flow characteristics within the spool valve using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code, FLUENT. To obtain the results for more realistic operating conditions, viscous heating due to the jet flow and viscosity variation of the hydraulic fluid with temperature were considered. For two types of notch shape, streamlines, oil temperature and viscosity distributions, and variations of flow and friction forces acting on spool were showed. The flow and friction forces affected by the metering notch shapes and their openings, and oil temperature rise near metering notch was significant enough to results in the jamming phenomenon. A thermohydrodynamic (THD) flow analysis adopted in this paper can be used in optimum design of hydraulic servo valves.
