The temperature of the flight objects in high speed increases due to the aerodynamic heating. MINIVER and CFD approach are used to predict the aerodynamic heating conditions of KSLV-I. MINIVER is based on the empirical method. And the CFD approach predicts the aerodynamic heating conditions after the analysis of the surface temperature and the surface heat flux directly. In this study, the aerodynamic heating conditions using CFD approach are considered. The PLF temperature for these aerodynamic heating conditions is compared with the flight test data of KSLV-I.

In this study, a post-correlation analysis for shaking table test of square water storage tank is presented for the use of advances in earthquake-resistant design of liquid storage tank. For this purpose, the ANSYS CFX program is selected for the CFD analysis. Sensitivity analysis for resonant sloshing motion in terms of grid size and turbulence model suggested that (1) horizontal grid size as well as vertical grid size is a key variable in the sloshing analysis, and (2) the SST turbulence model is best for the sloshing analysis. Finally, correlation analyses for a non-resonant harmonic input and scaled earthquake excitation of the El Centro (1940) NS component are carried out using the grid and turbulence model established through the post-correlation analysis for the resonant motion. As a result, sloshing time histories by the CFD analysis agreed very well with the test results.

Wind tunnels tests have been evaluating wind load estimation by discussing the most important design elements in very tall buildings. Such tests have some uncertainties, however, with respect to the data of the reduced model and the calculated empirical values. In contrast, CFD analysis can simulate the actual scale and shorten the time of simulation. Nevertheless, the utilization of CFD analysis is negligible because of its low reliability. In this paper, the reliability of CFD analysis will be proven by comparing the results of a wind tunnel test and CFD analysis for the prototype models shown in previous studies. The effect of the turbulence intensity on the reliability is also presented.

최근 경제적인 연비와 효율적인 가동성, 배기가스 감소의 이유로 초임계압 보일러가 각광받고 있다. 하지만 보일러 연소로는 용접된 튜브로 구성되어 있기 때문에 연소 시 내부압력에 의해 발생되는 진동에 취약하여 이에 대한 진동안정성 평가가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CFD 기법을 기반으로 수행한 변동압력 해석과 단순화한 모델을 이용한 진동해석을 통하여 보일러 운전 시의 진동안정성 평가를 수행하였다. 변동압력해석은 정상상태 CFD 해석을 수행하고, 이를 이용한 음향모드 해석과 비정상상태 CFD 해석에서 변동압력을 추출하고, 음향모드 해석결과와 주파수 성분을 비교하여 검증하였으며 이를 진동해석 모델에 기진력으로 적용하여 보일러 연소로의 진동해석을 수행하였다. 진동해석 모델은 동특성을 고려한 등가물성치를 이용하여 연소로의 복잡한 구조를 단순화하였으며 buckstay 등의 방진구조를 구현하여 보일러의 진동안정성을 평가하는 기법을 정립하였다. 해석결과, 보일러 운전조건에서 비정상상태 CFD 해석을 통해 구한 변동압력과 진동해석을 통해 얻은 가속도 응답은 안정적 수준인 것으로 확인하였다. 이는 향후 유사한 보일러 안정성 평가에 적용이 가능하고, buckstay 등 보일러의 방진 구조 설계 및 평가에도 적용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, a series of CFD analysis was performed in order to predict the leaving water temperature and the slope of in-situ thermal response tests of the vertical-type geothermal heat exchangers. The geothermal heat exchanger and surrounding ground formation were modeled using GAMBIT and simulation was used by utilizing FLUENT which is commercial CFD code. Comparing with the results of CFD and in-situ thermal response tests, the results of CFD was presented good agreement with $0.5^{\circ}C$ difference of Leaving Water Temperature and with 1.6% difference of the Slope.

The present study examined the free surface flow of a liquid sheet near a sprinkler head using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and considered the feasibility of the empirical model for predicting the initial spray characteristics of the sprinkler head through a comparison of the CFD results. The CFD calculation for a simplified sprinkler geometry considering the nozzle and deflector were performed using the commercially available CFD package, CFX 14.0 with the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and theVolume of Fluid (VOF) method. The predicted velocity of the empirical model at the edge of deflector were in good agreement with that of the CFD model for the flat plate region but there was a certain discrepancy between the two models for the complex geometry region. The mean droplet diameter predicted by the empirical model differed significantly from the measured value of the real sprinkler head. On the other hand, the empirical model can be used to understand the mechanism of droplet formation near the sprinkler head and predict the initial spray characteristics for cases without experimental data.

With the ever increasing advances in computers and their computing power, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) has become an essential engineering tool in the design and analysis of engineering applications. Accordingly, many universities have developed and implemented a course on CFD for undergraduate students. On the other hand, many professors have used industrial examples supplied by computational analysis software companies as CFD examples. This makes many students think of CFD as difficult and confusing. This paper presents a simple CFD example used in the department of mechanical design engineering of Kangwon National University and shows its effectiveness. Most students answered that a simple CFD example is more comprehensive than an industrial example. Therefore, it is necessary to develop simple computational analysis problems in the engineering education field.

This study analyzes the fabric skin of a wind turbine blade. The fabric skin is a membrane structure that was analyzed using a static Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method. For this study the blade of large 5 MW wind turbine was selected. In order to examine the validity of the analysis, a variety of reference data were used. Before conducting static FSI analysis, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis and modal analysis were done. Then interaction analysis was conducted. FSI analysis was done with imported Aerodynamic data that resulted from the CFD analysis. The resulting observations about the membrane structure, inherent tensions, deformation of the final structure, and aerodynamic forces caused by deformation are reported.

To validate the rotor performance analysis, 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) analysis was performed for tilt rotor aeroacoustic model(TRAM). Also, 3D vehicle with rotating rotors was simulated for rotor power effect analysis. Multiple reference frame(MRF) and sliding mesh techniques were implemented to capture the effect of rotor revolution. CFD results were compared with the wind tunnel test results to validate their accuracy. At helicopter mode, CFD analysis predicted lower thrust than the wind tunnel test but CFD results showed good agreement with the test result at cruise mode. Rotor power effect decreased the lift but did not change drag and pitching moment.
