To improve the safety, the fuel cell operate inside a pressurized enclosure which contains inert gas so called protective gas. The protective gas not only prevents the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, but also removes the water in the vessel with the condenser. This study presents the details of the flow optimization in order to reduce the humidity in the fuel cell housing. The protective gas flow in the fuel cell container is studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations. This study focuses on optimizing the geometry of an protective gas circulation system in fuel cell module to reduce the humidity in the vessel. CFD analysis was carried out for an existing model to understand the flow behavior through the fuel cell system. Based on existing model CFD results, geometrical changes like inlet placement, optimization of outlet size, modification of fuel cell module system are carried out, to improve the flow characteristics. The CFD analysis of the optimized model is again carried out and the results show good improvement in protective gas flow behavior.

Estimations of wind flow over terrain are often needed for applications such as pollutant dispersion, transport safety or wind farm location. Whilst field studies offer very detailed information regarding the wind potential over a small region, the cost of instrumenting a natural fetch alone is prohibitive. Wind tunnels offer one alternative although wind tunnel simulations can suffer from scale effects and high costs as well. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) offers a second alternative which is increasingly seen as a viable one by wind engineers. There are two issues associated with CFD however, that of accuracy of the predictions and set-up and simulation times. This paper aims to address the two issues by demonstrating, by way of an investigation of wind potential for the Askervein Hill, that a good level of accuracy can be obtained with CFD (10% for the speed up ratio) and that it is possible to automate the simulations in order to compute a full wind rose efficiently. The paper shows how a combination of script and session files can be written to drive and automate CFD simulations based on commercial software. It proposes a general methodology for the automation of CFD applied to the computation of wind flow over a region of interest.

Flow fields inside feeder pipes have been simulated numerically using a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code to calculate the shear stress distribution, which is the most important factor in predicting the local regions of feeder pipes highly susceptible to FAC (flow-accelerated corrosion)-induced wall thinning. The CFD approach, with schemes used in this study, to simulate the flow situations inside the CANDU feeder pipes has been verified as it showed a good agreement between the investigation results for the failed feedwater pipe at Surry unit 2 plant in the U.S. and the CFD calculation. Sensitivity studies of the three geometrical parameters, such as angle of the first and second bends, length of the first span between the grayloc hub and the first bend, and length of the second span between the first and the second bends have been performed. CFD analysis reveals that the local regions of feeder pipes of Wolsung unit 1 in Korea, on which wall thickness measurements have been performed so far, are not coincident with the worst regions predicted by the present CFD analysis located in the connection region of straight and bend pipe near the inlet part of the bend intrados. Finally, based on the results of the present CFD analysis, a guide to the selection of the weakest local positions where the measurement of wall thickness should be performed with higher priority has been provided.

In this paper, the coupling of fine-mesh computational fluid dynamics (CFD) thermal-hydraulics (TH) code and neutronics code is achieved using the Ansys Fluent User Defined Function (UDF) for code development, including parallel meshing mapping, data computation, and data transfer. Also, some CFD schemes are designed for mesh mapping and data transfer to guarantee physical conservation in the coupling computation. Because there is no rigorous research that gives robust guidance on the various CFD schemes that must be obtained before the fine-mesh coupling computation, this work presents a quantitative analysis of the CFD meshing and mapping schemes to improve the accuracy of the value and location of key physical prediction. Furthermore, the effect of the sub-pin scale coupling computation is also studied. It is observed that even the pin-resolved coupling computation can also create a large deviation in the maximum value and spatial locations, which also proves the significance of the research on mesh mapping and data transfer for CFD code in a coupling computation.

This thesis investigates the jetting characteristics of an aerosol jet printing (AJP) process as a function of design and operating conditions. The governing equations of the AJP system are derived for experimentation and analysis. To understand the characteristics of the AJP system, it analyzes the jetting characteristics as a function of the flow rate of the carrier gas and the sheath gas, and the variation of the linewidth with the nozzle exit size based on particle tracking. The thesis focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which is a computer simulation. The particle tracking results obtained by CFD were analyzed using MATLAB. CFD analytical models can be analyzed in environments with different conditions and consider more specific situations than mathematical computational models. The validity of the CFD analysis is shown by comparing the experimental results with the CFD analysis.

본 연구에서는 CFD 모델을 WRF-Chem 모델과 결합(WRF-CFD 모델)하였고, 서울 영등포구에 소재한 건물 밀집 지역에서 흐름과 일산화탄소(carbon monoxide, CO) 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여, 자동기상관측소에서 측정한 풍속, 풍향과 도시대기측정소에서 측정한 CO 농도를 이용하여 수치 모의 결과를 검증하였다. AWS 510 지점에서는 남풍과 남서풍 계열 바람이 측정되었고, 야간 시간 보다는 주간 시간에 높은 풍속이 측정되었다. WRF-Chem 모델은 주로 동남동풍에서 서남서풍 계열의 바람을 수치 모의하였고, 측정 풍속을 과대 모의하였다. WRF-CFD 모델이 수치 모의한 풍향은 WRF-Chem 모델 풍향에 대한 의존도가 높았고, 측정 풍속을 상대적으로 잘 수치 모의하였다. 통계적 검증 지수에 대한 목표 값과 추천 범위를 고려하였을 때, WRF-CFD 모델이 WRF-Chem 모델에 비해 측정 풍속을 통계적으로 더 현실적으로 수치 모의하였다. WRF-Chem 모델은 측정 CO 농도를 크게 과소 모의하였고, WRF-CFD 모델은 CO 농도 예측을 개선하였다. 통계적 검증 결과를 종합한 결과, WRF-CFD 모델은 도시 지역에 복잡하게 분포한 건물과 이동 오염원을 고려함으로써 CO 농도 예측 성능을 개선하였다. 5월 22일 04시에는 AQMS가 위치한 지역에는 하강류가 존재하고, 상층으로부터 비교적 낮은 농도의 CO가 유입되면서 주변 지역에 비해 낮은 농도가 수치 모의되었다. 5월 22일 15시에는 AQMS 측정 지점에 약한 상승류가 형성되었고, 이에 따라 주변보다 다소 높은 CO 농도가 나타났다. WRF-CFD 모델은 상승류에 의해 도로의 이동 오염원으로부터 배출된 CO를 AQMS 측정 고도까지 수송하여, 결과적으로, 측정 CO 농도를 잘 재현한 것으로 판단된다. 5월 22일 18시 사례는 CO 배출량 증가, 상승류 발생 지역 증가, 풍속 증가로 인한 지면 근처의 난류운동에너지 생성 증가에 따른 난류 확산 증가 등으로 인해 전체적으로 높은 CO 농도가 수치 모의되었다. AQMS 지점에서는 하강류가 수치 모의되었지만, 풍상측에 형성된 고농도의 CO 밴드로 인해 WRF-CFD 모델은 측정 CO 농도를 과대 모의하였다.

지열원 히트펌프 시스템에서 지중 열교환기 설계를 위해 수행하는 현장 열응답 시험은 많은 시간과 비용이 수반되기 때문에 조건 변화에 따른 출구온도 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 사용하는 수직형 지중 열교환기의 열전달 성능을 예측하기 위한 방안으로 3차원 CFD 해석 기법을 제안하고, 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험의 출구온도와 기울기 값을 비교하여 CFD 해석 방법의 신뢰성을 확인하였다. CFD 해석 결과, 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험의 출구온도는 $0.5^{\circ}C$ 이내에서 예측하였고, 기울기 값은 1.6% 이내에서 적절히 예측하였다. 이를 통해 CFD 해석 방법의 신뢰성을 확인하고, 2개소의 현장 열응답 시험의 유량 및 지중 유효 열전도도 조건을 각각 ${\pm}20%$ 변화시키면서 현장 열응답 시험의 출구온도를 예측하였다. 첫 번째 현장(Case 1)의 경우 유량 변화에 따라 $28.0^{\circ}C$(-20%)와 $29.6^{\circ}C$(+20%), 지중 유효 열전도도 변화에 따라 $29.6^{\circ}C$(-20%)와 $28.0^{\circ}C$(+20%)로 현장 열응답 시험의 출구온도를 예측하였으며, 두 번째 현장(Case 2)의 경우 유량 변화에 따라 $28.4^{\circ}C$(-20%)와 $29.8^{\circ}C$(+20%), 지중 유효 열전도도 변화에 따라 $29.7^{\circ}C$(-20%)와 $28.4^{\circ}C$(+20%)로 현장 열응답 시험의 출구온도를 각각 예측하였다.

A successful store separation analysis tool, MSAP(Multi-body Separation Analysis Program) has been applied to F/A-18C/JDAM CFD Challenge Ⅱ. The challenge was devised to challenge CFD community to use CFD methodologies to predict and match the trajectory of a JDAM MK-84 separating from F/A-l8C. Trajectory simulations for two flight conditions were performed. Comparison between computed and measured flight trajectories for both conditions shows a good agreement.
