Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) serves as an irreplaceable tool to probe the complexities of multiphase flow and identify turbulent mechanisms that elude conventional experimental measurement techniques. The insights unlocked via its careful analysis can be used to guide the formulation and development of turbulence models used in multiphase computational fluid dynamics simulations of nuclear reactor applications. Here, we perform statistical analyses of DNS bubbly flow data generated by Bolotnov ($Re_{\tau}=400$) and LueTryggvason ($Re_{\tau}=150$), examining single-point statistics of mean and turbulent liquid properties, turbulent kinetic energy budgets, and two-point correlations in space and time. Deformability of the bubble interface is shown to have a dramatic impact on the liquid turbulent stresses and energy budgets. A reduction in temporal and spatial correlations for the streamwise turbulent stress (uu) is also observed at wall-normal distances of $y^+=15$, $y/{\delta}=0.5$, and $y/{\delta}=1.0$. These observations motivate the need for adaptation of length and time scales for bubble-induced turbulence models and serve as guidelines for future analyses of DNS bubbly flow data.

LH has installed sashes to the balcony to save energy and increase residential space. Then, it is very difficult to protect a condensation of vapor on the walls in the winter time, because the space is closed and the wall surface temperature becomes very low in a balcony. We have tried to get the optimal thermal design methods to reduce the condensation on the walls. The one of the chosen method is to make holes on the walls, and then the condensation shall be reduce because the dew point temperature will be lower due to the effect of dehumidify. In this case, it is just necessary to find as like that how many holes should be perforated through the wall, what's their size, and where is their positions. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics was applied to analyze the temperature, the pressure and the velocity distribution for an incompressible flow in the balcony spaces. And field tests were also carried out to get the data to compare to the simulation results. Finally the design criteria of the ventilation holes in the balconies was suggested by analysis of the computer simulation models.

In this paper, the characteristic of the regenerative pump is reviewed by the measurement and the analysis. The dominant noise sources are harmonic components of the rotating impeller frequency. The acoustic characteristics and the noise source position at the dump are identified. In order to reduce the high-level peak noise, the interior flow of the pump chamber is analyzed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Acoustic pressure is calculated with Ffowscs Williams and Hawkings equation. As the result of the analysis new design of the pump chamber is recommended. The recommended pump is compared with original pump by evaluating the RMS value of a interior static pressure and the sound pressure level. The new pump chamber recommended by analysis results is proved by a process of the measurement. The overall SPL of a recommended pump is reduced about 3 dBA.

The accurate prediction of aeroacoustic analysis is necessary for designers to control and reduce airflow-induced sound pressure levels in high speed rotating DVD drives. This paper focuses on the numerical prediction of airflow-induced sound in DVD drives. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is first conducted to evaluate flow field characteristics due to the high-speed disk rotation, and to support the acoustic analysis. The acoustic analogy based on Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings(FW-H) equation is adopted to predict aeroacoustic noise patterns. The integral solution for quadrupole volume source is included to identify the turbulence noise generated inside the DVD tray. The strength of sound pressure level with respect to rotating speed is discussed to meet upfront demand on the high fidelity product development. The present study also focuses on the noise directivity and examines how much the sound noise is sensitive to change in rotating speed. Near-field noise is strongly affected by the flow field characteristic, which is caused by the complex shape of the tray. For a mid-field, the quadrupole noise play as a counterpart of thickness noise or loading noise, so it generates different sound noise patterns compared with those in the near field.

There are many parameters in prediction of forest fire spread. The variables such as fuel moisture, fuel loading, wind velocity, wind direction, relative humidity, slope, and solar aspect have important effects on fire. Particularly, wind and slope factors are considered to be the most important parameters in propagation of forest fire. Generally, slope effect cause different wind distribution in mountain area. However, this effect is disregarded in complex geometry. In this paper, wind is estimated by applying computational fluid dynamics to the forest geometry. Wind velocity data is obtained by using CFD code with Newtonian model and slope is calculated with geometrical data. These data are applied fer 2-dimentional forest fire spreading algorithm with Korean ROS(Rate Of Spread). Finally, the comparison between the simulation and the real forest fire is made. The algorithm spread of forest fire will help fire fighter to get the basic data far fire suppression and the prediction to behavior of forest fire.

In this paper, a hybrid design tool combining one-dimensional(1D) lumped model and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) approach has been developed in order to evaluate the performance of inkjet print head and droplet control process are studied to reduce the deviations between nozzles which affect the size of the printed line for the industrial application of direct writing on printed circuit boards(PCB). 1D lumped model analysis shows that it is useful tool for evaluating performance of an inkjet head by varying the design parameters. The differences in ejected volume and droplet velocity between analytical and experimental result are within 12%. Time sequence of droplet generation is verified by the comparison between 3D analysis result and photographic images acquired by stroboscopic technique. In addition, by applying DPN process, velocity and volume uniformity between nozzles is dramatically improved that the tolerance achieved by the piezoelectric inkjet printhead across the 64 nozzles is 5 to 8%. A printed line pattern is successfully obtained using the fabricated inkjet print head and droplet calibration system.

A particle method, recognized as one of gridless methods, has been developed to investigate non-linear free-surface motions interacting with structures. This method is more feasible and effective than conventional grid methods for solving flow fieldswith complicated boundary shapes. The method consists of particle interaction models representing pressure gradient, diffusion, incompressibility, and the free-surface boundary conditions without grids. In the present study, broken dam problems with various viscosity values are simulated to validate the developed method.

The flow around a circular cylinder advancing beneath the free surface is numerically investigated using a VOF method. The simulations cover Froude numbers in the range of 0.2~0.6 and gap ratios (h/d) in the range of 0.1~2.0, where h is the distance from the free surface to a cylinder, and d is the diameter of a cylinder at Reynolds number 180. It is observed that the vortex suppression effect and surface deformation increase as the gap ratio decreases or the Froude number increases. The most important results of the present study are as follows. The proximity of the free surface causes an initial increase in the Strouhal number and drag coefficient, and the maximum Strouhal number and drag coefficient occur in the range of 0.5~0.7. However, this trend reverses as the gap ratio becomes small, and the lift coefficient increases downward as the gap ratio decreases.

보본체와 물받이공을 보호하는 바닥보호공(bed protection)은 굴요성 구조(flexible structure)인 돌망태, 블록공, 사석 등으로 설치되어야 하며, 일반적으로 경제성과 시공성이 우수한 사석(riprap)이 많이 이용된다. 이때 사석의 안정성 확보를 위한 설계기준으로 국내의 경우 포설길이에 대해서만 제시하고 있으나, 외국의 경우 수심, 유속 등의 값을 기초로 사석의 크기, 포설두께, 포설길이를 산정할 수 있도록 상세하게 제시하고 있다. 이와 같은 실정으로 국내 하천 실무자들이 바닥보호공을 설계 할 때 하천설계기준을 바탕으로 블라이 공식 또는 국립건설시험소 공식을 적용하여 사석의 포설길이는 산정하지만 사석의 크기, 중량 등의 제원들은 외국 설계기준을 차용하여 산정하거나 생략하는 경우도 있다. 따라서 하천설계기준의 보완 및 최근 국내 주요하천에서 발생하는 바닥보호공 유실, 침하 등의 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 전산유체동역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여, 바닥보호공 주변 흐름에 대한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이때 난류 모형은 LES (Large Eddy Simulation) 모형을 적용하였으며, 바닥보호공에 작용하는 비교적 작은 척도의 와(vortex)를 해상할 수 있도록 조밀한 격자를 부여하였다. 초기 수치모형 결과의 적정성은 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 판단하였으며, 수리실험을 잘 재현해내는 격자, 매개변수 등을 적용하여 보의 하류 수위 변화에 따른 유속, 난류강도 등에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과는 바닥보호공 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 수리실험과 병행하여 국내 실정에 맞는 설계식 개발에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

국내 하천에 설치된 횡단구조물은 2009년을 기준으로 약 20,753개로 알려져 있으며 수위 유지, 하상고 유지 등의 목적을 가지고 설치된다. 그러나 낙차를 가진 빠른 유속의 흐름을 형성시켜, 하류 하상에서 국소 세굴을 발생시킨다. 이를 방지하기 위해 횡단구조물 하류에 굴요성 구조(flexible structure)인 돌망태, 블록공, 사석 등으로 이루어진 바닥보호공(bed protection)이 설치되나 유실, 침하 등의 문제가 빈번히 발생되고 있어, 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 피복 대책에서 일어날 수 있는 파괴 기구인 전단파괴, 흡출 파괴, 경계 파괴, 하상 형태 변화에 따른 하부 침식 중 흡출 파괴(winnowing failure)를 유발하는 흐름을 검토하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이때 흡출 파괴는 바닥보호공의 공극으로 미세한 하상 재료가 난류와 침투류의 작용에 의해 침식되어 바닥보호공이 침하되는 것을 말한다. 수치모의는 전산유체동역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하였으며, 난류 모형으로 LES 모형을 적용하고 조밀한 격자를 부여하여 바닥보호공의 공극에서 발생되는 비교적 작은 척도의 와(vortex)를 해상할 수 있도록 하였다. 수치모의에 적용된 횡단구조물은 보, 물받이공, 바닥보호공으로 구성하였으며 특히, 바닥보호공의 형상은 구체(sphere)로 가정하여 다층으로 배치하였다. 바닥보호공의 공극 또는 구체 사이에서 발생되는 유속, 압력 등의 흐름특성을 분석한 결과, 바닥보호공 두께가 두꺼울수록 흡출 파괴에 대해 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 바닥보호공 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 입자영상유속계(Particle Image Velocimeter, PIV)와 같이 공극에서 흐름을 측정할 수 있는 방법과 병행한 연구를 수행할 수 있을 것이다.
