대기 오염, 기후 변화 등 환경 문제와 자원 고갈로 인해 화석 연료를 대체할 에너지에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 폐바이오매스의 에너지화 분야에서도 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폐목질계 바이오매스의 급속열분해는 바이오매스 에너지화 기술 중 하나로 액상 연료를 생산할 수 있다. 바이오매스의 급속열분해에는 주로 기포유동층 반응기가 쓰이고 있으며, 기포유동층 급속열분해 반응기에서는 반응물에 열을 효과적으로 전달하기 위하여 고체입자의 유동매체를 이용한다. 이러한 기포유동층 반응기에서 유동층 내 고체 입자의 움직임과 혼합은 기포의 거동에 영향을 받는다. 이로 인해 열전달 현상이 달라지고 결과적으로는 폐목질계 바이오매스의 급속열분해 반응 속도가 변한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기포유동층 반응기 내부의 수력학적 특성과 폐목질계 바이오매스 급속열분해 반응에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 반응기내의 기체-고체 유동에 대해 Eulerian-Granular 방법을 사용하여 반응기를 시뮬레이션 하였으며, two-stage semi-global reaction model로 폐바이오매스의 급속 열분해반응을 모사하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 유동층 내에서 기포들이 생성되고 상승하면서 크기가 증가한다. 이러한 기포의 거동에 의해 기포 주위의 고체 입자는 여러 방향으로 움직이게 된다. 고체 입자상의 활발한 움직임으로 바이오매스 입자가 유동층에 골고루 퍼져 일차 반응이 유동층 전반에서 일어난다. 그리고 일차 반응 중 타르가 생성되는 반응 속도가 가장 높게 나타난다. 그 결과 기체상 생성물 중 타르가 약 66 wt.%로 가장 많이 발생한다. 반면 이차 반응은 유동층에서보다 freeboard에서 더 많이 일어난다. 따라서 기포의 거동이나 입자의 움직임에 의한 영향은 일차 반응보다 상대적으로 적을 것으로 판단된다.

디젤 선박 운행 횟수의 증가로 인한 대기오염이 심각해짐에 따라 선박의 유해배출가스에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있다. 따라서 선박용 디젤 배기 후처리 장치의 개발이 요구되고 배기 처리 장치는 유동 균일도가 높을수록 처리효율이 증가된다. 본 연구에서는 ANSYS Fluent를 이용하여 기존 저감장치, 저감장치 내부의 Baffle 설치시, 배기가스 유량에 따른 배압과 유동 균일도를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 기존 장치조건에서는 시스템 배압이 38 ~ 40 mbar로 나타났으며, 유동 균일도는 DOC 입구와 출구에서 약 84 ~ 92%로 나타났다. 시스템 내부에 Baffle을 설치한 경우 압력이 상승되고 유속 증가로 인해 유동 균일도가 낮아진다. 배기가스 유량을 $7,548kg\;h^{-1}$에서 $3,772kg\;h^{-1}$로 50% 감소했을 때, 낮은 유속에 의해 DOC 입구와 출구의 유동 균일도는 약 1 ~ 3% 증가했다. DPF의 경우 불균일한 유동이 DOC를 균일하게 거쳐 흐른 후 유입되기 때문에 유동 균일도가 98 ~ 99%로 높게 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 80k Bulk carrier의 저항성능 향상을 목적으로 선미부에 1개의 핀을 부착해 선미 유동을 제어하였고, 저항성능 및 반류의 변화를 분석하였다. 부착된 핀은 직사각형 단면을 가지며, 길이와 폭, 두께는 고정된 채 길이 및 흘수 방향 부착 위치와 유선에 대한 각도만 변화가 있었다. 나선 및 핀이 부착된 선체에 대한 모형 스케일에서의 CFD 해석이 수행되었고, 그 결과를 실선 확장 후 비교하였다. 핀은 프로펠러로 유입되는 빌지 볼텍스의 경로를 선미 트랜섬 쪽으로 변화시켰고, 이는 프로펠러 상부와 선미부의 압력을 증가시켰다. 이로 인해 선체의 압력저항 및 전 저항이 감소되었으며, 감소율은 핀의 부착 위치가 선미 및 선저와 가까울수록 높았다. 또한 핀은 공칭반류를 감소시켰는데 핀의 각도가 커질수록 반류의 변화가 컸고, 전 저항 저감률은 최대가 되는 특정 각도까지만 비례하였다. 대상 선박에 단일 핀을 부착했을 시의 최대 전 저항 저감률은 약 2.1 %였고, 선미로부터 수선간장의 12.5%, 선저로부터 흘수의 10 % 위치에 14°의 각도로 부착됐을 때이다.

The effects of Triangle Groove Strips (TGS) on Vortex-induced Vibration (VIV) suppression of marine riser are numerically investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The range of Reynolds number in simulations is 4.0 × 10⁴ < Re < 1.2 × 10⁵. The two-dimensional unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model are used to calculate the flow around marine riser. The Newmark-β method is employed for evaluating the structure dynamics of marine riser. The effect of the height ratio (ε) of TGS on VIV suppression is evaluated. The amplitude responses, frequency responses, vortex patterns and the flow around the structures are discussed in detail. With the increase of the height ratio of TGS, the suppression effect of TGS on VIV suppression is improved firstly and then weakened. When ε=0.04, the suppression effect of TGS is the best. Compared with the VIV responses of smooth marine riser, the amplitude ratio is reduced by 38.9%, the peak of the lift coefficient is reduced by 69% and the peak of the drag coefficient is reduced by 40% when Re=6.0 × 10⁴. With the increase of Reynolds number, the suppression effect of TGS on VIV suppression is improved firstly and then weakened. When the Reynolds number is 7.0 × 10⁴, the amplitude ratio can be reduced by 40.1%. As to the large-amplitude vibration cases, the TGS show nice suppression effect on VIV.

Most of train fires which occur in usual cases do not grow up significantly on a large scale enough to bring about casualties and harmful damages. However, the consequence of some train fire accidents can be devastating disaster so that it would be even recorded in history in unusual cases. Accordingly, such a probability of fire disaster cannot be ignored in aspect of the railway safety assesment. A scale of injury and damage is very difficult to predict and analyze. Because it is depend on various factors, i.e. fire load, burning period, facilities, environment condition, and so on. Thus, a prediction of fire load could be understood as a one methodology to estimate railway safety assesment. The summation method which is one of them is used to evaluate the overall fire load by assuming that sum of heat release rate per unit area or mass of each composite material equals the total. However, since the train fire is classified into a compartment fire in under-ventilation condition. The summation method do not estimate a fire load completely. In this journal, Various methods to predict fire load are introduced and evaluated. Especially the fire simulation tool FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)which is based on the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) is introduced, too. Through the FDS simulation, numerical analyses for the fire load and flame spread are performed. Then, these results of the simulation are validated through the comparison study with the experimental data. Then, limitations and approximations including in simulation process are discussed. The future direction of research is proposed.

This paper presents numerical results of the performance of a marin propeller in cavitating and non-cavitating flow conditions. The geometry and experimental validation data of the propeller are provided in Potsdam Propeller Test Case(PPTC) in the framework of the second International Symposium on Marine Propulsors 2011(SMP'11) workshop. The PPTC includes open water tests, velocity field measurements and cavitation tests. The present numerical analysis was carried out by using the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) method on a wall-resolved grid ensuring a y+=1, where the SST k-${\omega}$ model was mainly used for turbulence closure. The influence of the turbulence model was investigated in the prediction of the wake field under a non-cavitating flow condition. The propeller tip vortex flows in both cavitating and non-cavitating conditions were captured through adaptation of additional grids. For the cavitation flows at three operation points, Schnerr-Sauer's cavitation model was used with a Volume-Of Fluid(VOF) approach to capture the two-phase flows. The present numerical results for the propeller wake and cavitation predictions including the open water performance showed a qualitatively reasonable agreement with the model test results.

In order to improve the efficiency and reliability of the machine, the friction should be minimized. The most widely used method to minimize friction is to maintain the fluid lubrication state. However, we can reduce friction only up to a certain limit because of viscosity. As a result of several recent studies, surface texturing has significantly reduced the friction in highly sliding machine elements, such as mechanical seals and thrust bearings. Thus far, theoretical studies have mainly focused on isothermal/iso-viscous conditions and have not taken into account the heat generation, caused by high viscous shear, and the temperature conditions on the bearing surface. In this study, we investigate the effect of dimple depth and film-temperature boundary conditions on the thermohydrodynamic (THD) lubrication of textured parallel slider bearings. We analyzed the continuity equation, the Navier-Stokes equation, the energy equation, and the temperature-viscosity and temperature-density relations using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. We compare the temperature and pressure distributions at various dimple depths. The increase in oil temperature caused by viscous shear was higher in the dimple than in the bearing outlet because of the action of the strong vortex generated in the dimple. The lubrication characteristics significantly change with variations in the dimple depths and film-temperature boundary conditions. We can use the current results as basic data for optimum surface texturing; however, further studies are required for various temperature boundary conditions.

Control valves are widely used to regulate fluid flux in nuclear power plants, and there are more than 1500 control valves in the primary circuit of one nuclear power plant. With their help, the flux can be regulated to a specific level of water or steam to guarantee the energy efficiency and safety of the nuclear power plant. The flux characteristics of the control valve mainly depend on the valve core shape. In order to analyze the effects of valve core shapes on flux characteristics of control valves, this paper focuses on the valve core shapes. To begin with, numerical models of different valve core shapes are established, and results are compared with the ideal flux characteristics curve for the purpose of validation. Meanwhile, the flow fields corresponding to different valve core shapes are investigated. Moreover, relationships between the valve core opening and the outlet flux under different valve core shapes are carried out. The flux characteristics curve and equation are proposed to predict the outlet flux under different valve core openings. This work can benefit the further research of the flux control and the optimization of the valve core for control valves in nuclear power plants.

Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) has a higher density than gaseous hydrogen, so it has high transport efficiency and can be stored at relatively low pressure. In order to use efficient bulk hydrogen in the industry, research for the LH₂ supply system is needed. In the high-pressure hydrogen station based on LH₂ currently being developed in Korea, a heat exchanger is used to heat up supercritical hydrogen at 700 bar and 60 K, which is pressurized by a cryogenic high-pressure pump, to gas hydrogen at 700 bar and 300 K. Accordingly, the heat exchanger used in the hydrogen station should consider the design of high-pressure tubes, miniaturization, and freezing prevention. A helical heat exchanger generates secondary flow due to the curvature characteristics of a curved tube and can be miniaturized compared to a straight one on the same heat transfer length. This paper evaluates the heat transfer performance through parametric study on the distance between coils, guide effect, and anti-icing design of helical heat exchanger. The helical heat exchanger has better heat transfer performance than the straight tube exchanger due to the influence of the secondary flow. When the distance between the coils is uniform, the heat transfer is enhanced. The guide between coils increases the heat transfer performance by increasing the heat transfer length of the shell side fluid. The freezing is observed around the inlet of distribution tube wall, and to solve this problem, an anti-icing structure and a modified operating condition are suggested.
