In this study, in order to investigate the effects of wall roughness on the hydraulic characteristics of chlorine contactor, CFD simulation and tracer tests were conducted for both of reactors whose walls are made of concrete and lined with PE(Poly Ethylene). In the case of walls contacted with water being lined with PE (relatively lower roughness), the flow within reactor is closer to plug flow than that in the case of concrete walls (relatively higher roughness). Especially, the longer tail of C-curve from the results of transient CFD simulation can tell that Morill index in the case concrete walls is much higher than that in the case of walls be lined with lower roughness material.

The optimized distance between skegs and angle of the skeg for a standard twin-skeg type LNG carrier were presented using the CFD and model tests. The evaluation method of self-propulsion performance was derived based on the results of CFD and confirmed the validity through model tests. The analyses to assess self-propulsion performance using CFD were shown by flow line patterns on the skeg surface, nominal wake distribution in the propeller plane and the evaluation for flow balance around stern skegs. The optimized ship that was applied to the optimized two design parameters in stern skeg arrangement for target ship was derived in this work. Finally speed performance of mother ship which is existing ship and optimized ship were compared through CFD and model tests. And the usefulness about the evaluation method of self-propulsion performance was reconfirmed.

The present paper studies the leakage flow model used in the performance prediction of a scroll compressor. Two leakage flow models, isentropic and Fanno flow model, are studied in detail. Their predictions are also compared with CFD solutions to check the validity as a leakage flow model. Comparison with CFD solutions shows that the isentropic flow model predicts excessive leakage flow rate, while the Fanno flow model shows acceptable agreement with CFD solutions. The excessive leakage flow rate by isentropic flow model results in under-prediction of the overall performance of a scroll compressor.

The accurate prediction of leakage flow through the brush element of brush seal at the steam turbine is important to find optimum design parameters for increasing an efficiency. In this study, CFD analysis method using commercial software FLUENT is proposed to predict leakage through the brush element. Since the brush element has a complex three-dimensional shape with many bristle assemblies, it is difficult to analyze the flow field. Therefore, if the brush element is assumed to be porous medium region, the analysis time can be shortened. Two determination methods of resistance coefficients of the Darcian porous medium equation are suggested. By comparing the 2D and 3D CFD analysis results for the leakage of the brush element using the two resistance coefficient determination methods, the effectiveness of the analysis for the porous medium assumption is proved.

소형 활주선의 경우, 대형 저속선 대비 항주자세의 변화가 크기 때문에 CFD 해석시 저항성능과 운동성능 결과에 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Warped 2 선형을 대상으로 상용 CFD 코드인 STAR-CCM+ v9.04를 사용한 CFD해석을 수행하여, 이를 모형시험 결과와 비교하여 오차를 확인하였고, 또한 오차의 원인을 분석했을 때, 선체 하부의 Numerical ventilation 현상과 Spray 영역에 문제가 있다고 판단하였다. 추후 연구에서는 오차 해결 방법으로 VOF Phase replacement 기법과 Spray 영역에 대한 격자 최적화 방법을 연구하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 연륙연도 사업에 대응하는 경제성 및 안정성을 갖춘 쌍동선형 차도선의 개발을 위해 U형과 V형의 서로 다른 쌍동선형을 CFD 해석을 수행하여 저항성능을 비교하였다. CFD 해석 결과 U형 쌍동선형의 경우 14kts 이상의 고속에서 선수부 파형에 이상이 발생하여 정상적인 운행이 불가능하다 판단되었으며, 이에 비해 V형은 동일한 속도에서도 이상이 발생하지 않았으며, 또한 U형 쌍동선형 대비 V형 쌍동선형의 경우, 저속에서는 U형 대비 높은 침수표면적에도 불구하고 거의 같은 $R_{TS}$값을 보이지만, 고속으로 넘어가면 U형에 비해 확연히 낮은 $R_{TS}$값을 보임을 확인, V형의 쌍동선형이 U형에 비해 저항성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

In this study. a numerical analysis has been performed for the turbulent flow around a 15,000TEU twin-skeg container ship using a commercial CFD code. FLUENT. The computed results have been compared with the model test data from MOERI. We investigated viscous resistance coefficient. wake distribution and characteristics of the shear flow according to the grid numbers. Although the free surface is approximated by the plane of symmetry in this work. the calculated axial velocity and transverse vector show a good agreement with the MOERI experimental data except for the region of 0.9 level of axial velocity at the propeller plane. The numerical analysis show that commercial CFD code is useful tool for the evaluation of complex hull form with twin-skegs.

The current focus of development in industrial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is integration of CFD into Computer-Aided product development, geometrical optimisation, robust design and similar. On the other hand, in CFD research aims to extend the boundaries of practical engineering use in "non-traditional" areas. Requirements of computational flexibility and code integration are contradictory: a change of coding paradigm, with object orientation, library components, equation mimicking is proposed as a way forward. This paper describes OpenFOAM, a C++ object oriented library for Computational Continuum Mechanics (CCM) developed by the author. Efficient and flexible implementation of complex physical models is achieved by mimicking the form of partial differential equation in software, with code functionality provided in library form. Open Source deployment and development model allows the user to achieve desired versatility in physical modeling without the sacrifice of complex geometry support and execution efficiency.

According to the advancement of computer and simulation method, it becomes possible to predict indoor climate precisely by using CFD simulation coupled with heat conduction, convection, and radiation. However, predicting the indoor climate is generally conducted by using a simplified CFD coupled simulation method since it takes quite long time to use a general CFD simulation method. In this study, a simplified CFD coupled simulation was conducted in order to find out the effect of natural ventilation by wind-driven in atrium. As a result of calculation, it was clarified that the natural ventilation driven by temperature difference was not enough to remove the accumulated heat of upper zone and the natural ventilation by wind-driven was needed. Finally, it is required to decide the window direction and size based on correct indoor climate prediction method for the effective use of natural ventilation by wind-driven.

A new multi inner stage(MIS) cyclone was designed to remove the acidic gas and minute particles of harmful materials produced from electronic industry. To characterize gas flow in MIS cyclone, pressure and velocity distribution were calculated by means of computational fluid dynamics(CFD) commercial program. Also, the flow locus of particles and particle removal efficiency were analyzed by Lagrangian method. When outlet pressure condition was -1,000 Pa, the efficiency was the best in this study. Based on the CFD simulation result, the pressure loss and destruction removal efficiency was measured through MIS cyclone experiment.
