An evaluation method for flutter derivatives is proposed, using indicial functions of structural members produced by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Flutter derivatives are obtained by Fourier integration of indicial functions. Instead of direct simulation of oscillating objects, only the calculation of time-dependent lift and moment variations of fixed objects with constant attack angle are necessary.The Finite Element Method (FEM) is developed as a tool for the numerical method. For two rectangular sections having different aspect ratios, the numerical analysis and wind tunnel test are carried out to inspect the adequacy of this study. The results proved to be good, and they could be used for a preliminary design.

The comming of high speed computers with large memory size in recent years has allowed the practical development of codes which solve the Reynolds-averaged NAvier-Stokes (RANS) equations in three dimensions. Such codes are already used by the large engine manufacturers for the advanced design of some engine components. Different computational fluid dynamics approaches and turbulence models exist, and it seems essential today to establish their degree of validity for application to typical configurations in turbomachinery. In 1993 the Turbomachinery Committee of the IGTI of ASME has issued an open invitation to predict the flow details of an isolated transonic fan rotor called as NASA ROTOR 37. This paper reports this test case.

The non pulsation blood pump is divided into axial flow and centrifugal style according to the direction of inlet and outlet flow. An axial flow blood pump can be made smaller than a centrifugal blood pump because centrifugal pump's rpm is fewer than axial flow pump. Hemolysis is an important factor for the development of an axial flow blood pump. It is difficult to identify the areas where hemolysis occurs. Evaluation of hemolysis both in in-vitro and in-vivo test requires a long-time and more expensive. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis enables the engineer to predict hemolysis on a computer which just can get not only amount of htmolysis but also location of hemolysis. It takes shorter time and less expensive than in-vitro test. The purpose of this study is to git Computational fluid dynamics in axial flow pump and to verify the accuracy of prediction by the possibility of design comparing CFD results with in-vitro experimental results. Also, wish to figure out the correction method that can bring improvement in shape of axial flow blood pump using CFD analysis.

In this study, we conducted study on the confirmation of thermal-hydraulic safety for Mast assembly with Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) analysis. Before performing the natural convection analysis for the Mast assembly by using CFD code, we validated the CFD code against two benchmark natural convection data for the evaluation of turbulence models and confirmation of its applicability to the natural convection flow. From the first benchmark test which was performed by Betts et al. in the simple rectangular channel, we selected standard k-omega turbulence model for natural convection. And then, calculation performance of CFD code was also investigated in the sub-channel of rod bundle by comparing with PNL(Pacific Northwest Laboratory) experimental data and prediction results by MATRA and Fluent 12.0 which were performed by Kwon et al.. Finally, we performed main natural convection analysis for fuel assembly inside the Mast assembly by using validated turbulence model. From the calculation, we observed stable natural circulation flow between the mast assembly and pool side and evaluated the thermal-hydraulic safety by calculating the departure from nucleate boiling ratio.

기후변화 따른 스마트팜 돈사 외부 환경의 변화에 대응하고, 사육 환경을 능동적으로 개선하기 위한 연구가 수행 중이다. 돈사 내 열전달 요소 간 상호 역학성 분석을 위해서 고려해야할 사항은 입기구, 보온 등, 열풍기, 단열제, 위치, 방향, 돈사의 연평균 온도, 습도, 연중 일사량, 가축의 열복사 등 상호 복잡하게 연관되어 있는 물리량이다. 돈사 전체 열손실, 자연발생 에너지량, 강제발생 에너지량, 난방용량 등을 고려한 순간 열부하 산정을 위한 여러 방법 중 우선적으로 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)를 이용하였다. 순간 열부하 산정을 위한 해석 도구 선정에 있어서 다양한 유체 및 기체 전산 유체역학 Solver(Fluent, Open-FOAM, Blender)를 고려하였다. 공간 Mech를 수행하기 위한 도구로는 공개 소프트웨어 인 FreeFem++ 3.51-4 (http://www.freefem.org)를 이용하였다. 이 과정에서 일부 기체 (암모니아)의 농도를 난수로 변화시키는 기법을 적용하여 가상적으로 돈사의 환경을 Pseudo 시뮬레이션 하였다. 결과적으로 Fluent에 비하여 OpenFOAM을 이용하여 얻은 열유동의 방향(속도)과 크기 백터가 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. Fluent가 시계열 상에서 혼합 기체 물리량 변화를 무시할 수 있는 안정되고 균일한 환경에 적합하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. Blender의 경우 Lattice Boltzmann methods 과 Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics 방법을 이용한 유체/입자 동력학 모델링을 제공함에 있어 시각적 효과를 강조하는 기능에 중점을 두었다. Fluent와 Blender에서 제공하는 해석 연산 모듈의 정확성 검증을 위해선 공간 분해능을 높인 정밀 계측 시스템을 이용하여 검증할 필요가 있다. Open-FOAM를 이용한 열부하 분석 수행이 상대적으로 높은 절대값을 보이는 특성은 열부하 제어 시스템의 Overshoot를 유발할 가능성이 있으므로 이에 대한 해석 모델의 보정이 추가적으로 필요할 것이다. CFD의 한계인 시간 복잡도를 낮추고 상대적으로 높은 시계열 분해능을 확보할 경우 돈사 내 환기시스템에 맞는 소요 환기량 실시간 산정이 가능해지고 외부기상 및 돈사내부 복사열을 활용함과 동시에 돈군 순환에 상응하는 실시간 열부하 관리 시스템 도출이 가능할 것이다.

The hydrodynamic behaviors of the clarifier with an interior baffle in a wastewater treatment plant was investigated by using a radiotracer $^{99m}Tc$(30 40 mCi) to verify the results of CFD(computational fluid dynamics) modelling in the previous study. The clarifier model was manufactured with consideration to the hydraulic similarity(1/21) of a real plant($L{\times}W{\times}H:2.6{\times}0.4{\times}0.2m$). By installation of an interior baffle to the clarifier, the strong density current at the bottom of the clarifier decreased substantially and increased the area of sludge settling zone, which were visualized successfully from the radiotracer experiment. Also the portion of short circuit stream changed from 48 % to 32 % and the mean residence time of sludge decreased from 940 sec to 810 sec, which corresponds to the results of CFD modelling. As a result, it is anticipated that radiotracer technology can be used as an important tool for designing new wastewater treatment plants and verifying their performances after structural modifications.

In realizing a hydrogen society, it is important to secure the safety of the hydrogen refueling station, which is the facility where consumers can easily meet hydrogen. The hydrogen refueling station consists of compressed gas facilities that store high-pressure hydrogen, and there is a risk that the high-pressure compressed gas facility will rupture due to a fire explosion due to hydrogen leakage in the facility or the influence of surrounding fires. Accordingly, the Korea Gas Safety Corporation is making every effort to find out risk factors from the installation stage, reflect them in the design, and secure safety through legal inspection. In this study, a TNT explosion demonstration test using a protection wall was conducted to confirm the safety effect of the protection wall installed at the hydrogen refueling station, and the empirical test results were compared and verified using FLACS-CFD, a CFD program. As a result of the empirical test and CFD analysis, it was confirmed that the effect of reducing the explosion over-pressure at the rear end of the protection wall decreased from 50% to up to 90% depending on the location, but the effect decreased when it exceeded a certain distance. The results of the empirical test and computer analysis for verifying the safety of the protection wall will be used in proposals for optimizing the protection wall standards in the future.

본 논문에서는 전력용 변압기 온도상승을 예측하기 위해 CFD 상용 프로세서인 Fluent를 이용하였다. 온도상승의 원인이 되는 전력손실은 자계 상용 프로세서인 Maxwell을 이용하였으며, 자계해석에 의해 얻은 전력손실을 유체역학과 열전달을 동시에 고려한 열유동해석의 열원으로 적용하였다. 해석의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 변압기 권선의 형상을 실제형상과 유사하게 모델링하였으며, 해석결과의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 온도 상승 시험을 통해 얻은 측정값과 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD의 2D_Incomp_P 해석자를 이용하여 0.16부터 1,000,000까지 다양한 레이놀즈수에서 실린더의 유동 특성을 연구하였다. 임계 레이놀즈수 이하에서 실험값과 유사한 압력분포도를 제작하여 해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 레이놀즈수에 따른 항력계수의 그래프를 제작하여 항력계수의 값이 레이놀즈수의 변화에 대해 선형적으로 변화하는 것을 연구하였다. 같은 속도장일 때 특성길이에 따른 유동장의 차이점도 연구하기 위하여 특성길이에 변화를 주어 해석을 진행하였고, 특성길이가 길수록 박리가 빠르게 발생하는 것을 알게 되었다.
