In this paper, we present the CFD and experimental results for flow characteristics as well as pressure fluctuation in a T-type ball valve. In the experiment, flow visualization for the wake is performed with a fluorescent dye. In CFD, the valve flow is simulated three-dimensionally using a commercial fluid analysis code, FLUENT 6.0. FFT analysis to the pressure fluctuation in the wake region is also calculated Analysis results show that the characteristic frequency of the wake flow is strongly dependent on the Reynolds number.

익형의 형상이 대칭인 NACA00xx 시리즈의 두께 비 변화에 따른 익형의 공력 특성을 조사하였다. 익형주위의 유동을 2D-압축성 유동으로 가정하여 비선형 유동방정식인 2D-Comp-2.0 solver를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 주어진 두께 비에 대한 mesh study를 수행하고 수치해석의 결과는 Fluent 6.3의 수치해석 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 또한 선택 된 최적의 mesh size를 이용하여 익형의 두께비에 따른 양력계수와 항력계수를 비교 분석 하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 익형의 두께비가 증가할수록 양력계수와 항력계수는 증가하였으며, 또한 받음각의 크기에 따른 익형의 공력특성은 받음각이 증가할수록 양력계수와 항력계수는 증가하였다. 일반적으로 익형의 두께비가 증가하면 shock wave의 강도는 증가하고, shock wave의 위치는 익형의 끝단으로 이동한다. 본 연구에서는 NACA00xx 시리즈의 공력특성에 대한 이해뿐만 아니라 Edison CFD 코드를 이용하여 얼마나 우리가 정확하게 공력해석을 수행할 수 있는지에 중점을 두었다.

Experiments were carried out to evaluate the air speed distribution of an enclosed nursery pig bay in summer and winter. The data taken by experiments were compared to validate with the calculated air speeds by a commercial CFD code, FLUENT. Air basically enters into the bay through perforated circular ducts overhanged on the ceiling, leaves through a exhaust fan attached on the end-wall of the bay. Air speeds were measured as 2 ${\sim}$ 2.5 mls at the perforated holes in the duct in winter and 7 mls in summer. The validation showed that a CFD simulaton is one of feasible methods to predict airspeed distribution in the nursery pig bay.

In order to analyse the thermal performance of battery systems in electric vehicles complex simulation models with high computational cost are necessary. Using reduced order methods, real-time applicable model can be developed and used for on-board monitoring. In this work a data driven model of the cooling plate as part of the battery system is built and derived from a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The aim of this paper is to create a meta model of the cooling plate that estimates the temperature at the boundary for different heat flow rates, mass flows and inlet temperatures of the cooling fluid. In order to do so, the cooling plate is simulated in a CFD software (ANSYS Fluent ®). A data driven model is built using the design of experiment (DOE) and various approximation methods in Optimus ®. The model can later be combined with a reduced model of the thermal battery system. The assumption and simplification introduced in this paper enable an accurate representation of the cooling plate with a real-time applicable model.

작물은 복잡한 형상 때문에 CFD모델에서 다공성 매체로 설계된다. 작물이 고려된 CFD 모델 해석을 위해서는 작물군락의 공기저항값을 입력하여야 하며, 이 값은 작물에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 풍동실험을 통해 국화군락의 공기저항 값을 구하였다. 풍상측에서는 풍속과 재식밀도가 증가할수록 정압이 증가하였다. 풍하측에서는 풍속이 증가할수록 정압이 낮아졌으나 재식밀도의 영향은 크게 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 풍속과 재식밀도가 증가할수록 풍상측과 풍하측의 압력차가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 국화군락의 공기저항값인 항력계수 $C_d$값은 0.22였으며, Fluent 프로그램의 공기저항 계수로 이용한다. CFX 프로그램에서 필요로 하는 다공성 매체의 특성값 $K_Q$는 재식간격 $9{\times}9cm$일 때 2.22, $11{\times}11cm$일 때 1.81, $13{\times}13cm$일 때 1.07이었으며, 이 값을 CFX 프로그램의 quadratic resistance coefficient로 입력한다.

Because thermal non-uniformity of transported agricultural products is mainly affected by cooling air flow pattern in the cold transport equipment, the analysis and control of flowfield is key to optimization of cold transport equipment. The objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of geometric and operating parameters of cold container on the air flow and heat transfer, and find the optimum design parameters for the low temperature level and its uniformity in given cold container with CFD simulations. Existences of ducts, gaps between pallets and geometries of exit as geometric parameters and fan blowing velocity as operating parameter were investigated. CFD simulations were carried out with the FLUENT 6.2 code. The result showed that optimum design condition was bulk loading with no duct, wall exit and 8.0 m/s of fan blowing velocity.

The objective of this work is not only to perform feasibility studies on the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis for the capillary system design but also to provide an enhanced understanding of the autonomous capillary flow. The capillary flow is evaluated by means of the commercial CFD software of FLUENT, which includes the VOF (volume-of-fluid) model for multiphase flow analysis. The effect of wall adhesion at fluid interfaces in contact with rigid boundaries is considered in terms of static contact angle. Feasibility studies are first performed, including mesh-resolution influence on pressure profile, which has a sudden increase at the liquid/gas interface. Then we perform both 2D and 3D simulations and examine the transient nature of the capillary flow. Analytical solutions are also derived for simple cases and compared with numerical results. Through this work, essential information on the capillary system design is brought out. Our efforts and initial success in numerical description of the microfluidic capillary flows enhance the fundamental understanding of the autonomous capillary flow and will eventually pave the road for full-scale, computer-aided design of microfluidic networks.

Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations solver based on a pressure-based cell-centered finite volume method was developed using OpenFOAM libraries, which was an open source and providing computational continuum mechanics libraries. For the reasonable development of the turbulent boundary layer on the bow of the ship, specified library was developed. Grid sensitivities, such as skewness and aspect ratio of a cell, were tested for the solution convergence. Pressure, turbulent kinetic energy, turbulent dissipation rate contours on the ship surface computed by the developed CFD code were compared with those computed by the commercial CFD code, Fluent.

Odor dispersion around a cubic building from rooftop odor emissions was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The Shear Stress Transport (here after SST) $k-{\omega}$ model in FLUENT CFD code was used to simulate the flow and odor dispersion around a cubic building. The CFD simulations were performed for three different configurations of cubic buildings comprised of one building, two buildings or three buildings. Five test emission rates were assumed as 1000 OU/s, 2000 OU/s, 3000 OU/s, 4000 OU/s and 5000 OU/s, respectively. Experimental data from wind tunnels obtained by previous studies are used to validate the numerical result of an isolated cubic building. The simulated flow and concentration results of neutral stability condition were compared with the wind tunnel experiments. The profile of streamline velocity and concentration simulation results show a reasonable level of agreement with wind tunnel data. In case of a two-building configuration, the result of emission rate 1000 OU/s illustrates the same plume behavior as a one-building configuration. However, the plume tends to the cover rooftop surface and windward facet of a downstream building as the emission rate increases. In case of a three-building configuration, low emission rates (<4000 OU/s) form a similar plume zone to that of a two-building configuration. However, the addition of a third building, with an emission rate of 5000 OU/s, creates a much greater odorous plume zone on the surface of second building in comparison with a two-building configuration.

The course stability performance for tankers is evaluated by computational fluid dynamics. In the present work, a Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) code is applied to a maneuvering problem covering the pure drift and yaw motions. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the hydrodynamic force in the bare hull (AFRAMAX) in pure drift and yaw motion and to provide information about the trends in the forces and moments when the rudder angles are varied. The flow simulation is performed by FLUENT. The CFD code is examined to find the optimistic computational condition such as size of grid, turbulence model and initial condition. The hydrodynamic derivatives in drift and pure yaw motion are estimated by the numerical simulation, and then the stability levers are calculated. It is confirmed that the computations show the superiority and inferiority of course stability performance according to the hull forms. Finally, the CFD code is applied to the estimation of the rudder forces when the rudder angles are varied. The propeller effect expressed by the body force distribution is also included.
