The performances of side channel type regenerative blowers were evaluated by the blower performance test, 1-D performance prediction and CFD. The performance prediction method was modified using the results of the performance test and CFD and applied to the design of the new regenerative blowers. The major geometric parameters such as channel height, channel area and expansion angle were decided from the performance prediction method for the improved models and the predicted results were compared with CFD and experimental data. Both of the modified models showed improved efficiency at the operating condition. Especially, model3 could be possible to reduce operating rotating speed, that is benefit to noise performance, because of the high head performance at the design point. The CFD results showed that the performance of the regenerative blower was influenced by the secondary circulatory flow in the channel.

Various types of hydraulic shock absorbers are widely used in many fields because of its numerous advantages. However, in order to design adequate damping characteristics, accurate flow data near the orifices are required essentially. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code, FLUENT is adopted to investigate the flow characteristics near orifices of a shock absorber. Static pressure and velocity vector distributions, fluid path lines are presented for compression/tension strokes and various piston speeds. In order to validate the result of analysis, the numerically obtained damping forces are compared with those of analytical estimations obtained by modified Bernoulli equation. The results reported herein will provide better understanding of the detailed flow fields within shock absorber, and the CFD analysis method proposed in this paper can be used in the design of other types of hydraulic shock absorber.

Precise leakage prediction for annular type seals of turbomachinery is necessary for enhancing their efficiency and various prediction methods have been developed. As the seal passage is designed intricately, the analysis based on Bulk-flow concept which has been mainly used in predicting seal leakage is limited. In order to improve the seal leakage prediction, full Navier-Stokes Equations with turbulent model derived in the seal flow passage have to be solved. In this study, 3D CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis has been performed for predicting leakage of various non-contact type anular seals using FLUENT. Compared to the results by Bulk-flow model analysis, experiment, and 2D CFD analysis, the result of 3D CFD analysis shows improvement in predicting seal leakage, especially for the parallel grooved pump seal.

Optimization of in-cylinder flow is regarded as one of the most important factors to realize stable stratified charge combustion in a Spark-ignited Direct Injection(SDI) engine. Therefore, Computational Fluid Dynamic(CFD) simulation technique were used to clarify the characteristics of in-cylinder flow of a SDI engine with top entry intake port. Also, CFD results were compared to experimental results using Laser Doppler Velocimetry(LDV), Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) and good validations were met. As the results reverse tumble flow generated during intake process was preserved by configuration of curved piston while base and reverse tumbles were diminished at the end of compression stroke in case of flat top piston. In addition, it will be needed to optimize the fuel mixture distribution based on these results.

Simple design methods were developed to control the coolant flow rates through cylinder head gasket holes. Applying the concept of flow through an obstruction the ratio of intake to exhaust side flow rates could be easily controlled while maintaining the flow rates per cylinder of the original model. Flow distribution in the coolant passage of the original model was calculated by CFD and the flow rates at the gasket holes were modified based on the calculation results. The calculated flow rated of the modified gasket holes were reasonably close to target values. For more accurate control of the flow rate distribution, a design method with iterative CFD calculations was also suggested. The final size of gasket holes for the target flow rates were obtained just after a few optimization iterations. These methods can be very useful for the optimization of heat transfer characteristics in engine cylinder head and block.

In this paper, a correlation analysis of wake distribution between model test and CFD was described. CFD calculation was performed by 'WAVIS' which is utilized in hullform development. By using the correlation between model test and CFD, we have estimated M/T wake distribution To control M/T and CFD wake distribution effectively. we have developed the program that it is possible to export to TECPLOT and visualize wake distribution.

선박에너지 개발을 위한 미래의 유력한 추진체로서 초전도 자력장을 이용한 선박을 들 수 있는데 이와 같은 경우에는 실험을 하기에는 비용이 엄청나게 소요되고 설비 자체가 복잡하기 때문에 CFD를 이용해서 초기 계\ulcorner을 구상하고 선체 주위의 유동장의 제어 및 기초 설계를 하여야 할 것이다. CFD계산을 통해 일반적으로 얻을 수 있는 것은 -압력 분포 -자유 표면 파고 -유속 분포 -유선 추적 -선체 표면의 응력 분포 -한계 유선 분포 -선미 와류 생성 과정 -선체 저항 계산 등으로 선형 개발에 필요한 기본 자료들이다. 여기서 CFD의 유용가치를 강조할 수 있는데 위의 많은 데이터를 실험을 통해서 얻으려면 막대한 경비와 노력이 투입되어야 한다. 또한 현재의 실험 시설로는 정량적으로 측정할 수 없는 부분도 일부 있다. CFD의 경우는 그러한 어려움은 없으나 꼭 필요한 것이 수치계산의 검증이다. 계산 결과의 유효성(validity)을 검증해야 한다는 의미이다. 계산은 실험을 통하여 반드시 비교 검토가 이루어져야 하며 이의 수단으로 선박 분 야에서는 Wigley 모형이나 Series 60와 같은 것들이 사용되고 잇다. 당 연구소의 저항추진연구 실에서는 CFD의 연구가 수년 전부터 소수의 인원을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 이와 관련하여 대표적인 몇 가지만 소개하고자 한다.

Aerodynamic characteristics, such as drag and lift, play an important role in automobile design under certain speed conditions. Such characteristics are essential to design an automobile since they are directly related to automobile's performance such as passenger safety and fuel consumption. There is a huge demand for the automobile to have safe performance at high speed. Reduction in drag is also important and it could lead to the solution of air flow induced noise and dust problems. The objective of this research is to find out the aerodynamic differences between conventional side mirror and a modified one using CFD. Although drag generated around a side mirror is only about 7% of the total drag when a car runs, it is very closely related to driver's field of vision and noise generation. CFD simulation of the flowfield around a car side-view mirror was performed using a commercial code; Gambit and FLUENT.

This paper is a study about characteristics of the SSC-1 nozzle, which is used in a fire extinguishing system in a ship. Through this paper, we can find that the traces and elements’ distributions obtained from experiments are as the same as the simulation analysis results of CFD program. At the point of 100mm, the $\alpha$ is 34.9 in the CFD analysis, and it is 32.5 in the experiment. This shows that there is no big different between the CFD analysis and the experiment result. And the average elements velocity is similar to the SMD.
