One of the most popular internal combustion engines is the engine in the transportation device. Power is a parameter that shows the capabilities of an object that gives energy, for example the internal combustion engine. Power in this engine is measured by a device called dynamometer. The CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) fluent software was simulated several impeller variables to absorb power of engine. With that result, we knew the biggest dynamometer absorber power, cheapest and easy to be made. The hydraulic dynamometer is selected type of dynamometer as the result of design process. The basic principle of a hydraulic dynamometer is the same as centrifugal pump but it has low pump efficiency. The results of the test are maximum power and torque of the tested engine and the operation area of the selected hydraulic dynamometer.

All of the hydraulic spool valves adopt radially grooved spools to avoid hydraulic locking. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT is used to investigate the accurate Poiseuille flow characteristics inside single groove. The stream lines, velocity and pressure distributions are obtained for various groove widths, depths and shapes. The stream lines are highly affected by groove shape and there occurred large vortexes inside groove beyond a certain ratio of groove width to depth. Especially the U shaped groove restrains the occurrence of vortex. Therefore the numerical method adopted in this paper can be use in optimum designing of multi-grooved hydraulic spool valves.

Most important factor to consider funnel performance is exhaust gas temperature and exhaust gas concentration Electric equipments on the wheelhouse top affected exhaust gas temperature. So, it is important that electric equipments keep away from high temperature. Though exhaust gas concentration is not a regulation and restraint, the exhaust 9as can cause serious problems for the on-board air quality and result in irreversible damage to the ship and people. So, we pocus on the exhaust gas concentration also. When judge whether a measured concentration is acceptable or not, criteria based on the LTEL (Long Term Exposure Limit). In this paper, we carried out the smoke simulation study. For this analysis, we used FLUENT which is commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code.

A computational analysis has been conducted on the compressible flow in the turbine exhaust nozzle of the gas generator cycle liquid rocket engine. The commercial CFD code Fluent has been used. Four nozzle designs have been compared to select the turbine exhaust nozzle concept. Three candidates with single nozzle have comparable performance. The model with bifurcated nozzles shows significant performance loss. However it will be better in the view of balanced thrust distribution because of its symmetric geometry.

100인승 이하의 쌍발 터보프롭 항공기의 날개 형상에 대한 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 최적설계는 2단계로 이뤄져 있는데 먼저 꼬리날개의 높이에 대한 방향안정성을 분석하였고 방향 안정성을 갖는 높이에 대해 순항조건에 대해 항력을 최소로 하는 날개의 최적형상을 결정하였다. 방향안정성 분석은 Vorstab를 통해 이뤄졌고, 최적형상은 Piano를 활용하여 결정하였으며 공력해석은 점성을 고려한 Fluent 코드를 활용하였다. 최적설계 결과 약 10 count의 항력을 감소하였다.

Laser surface texturing (LST) methods are widely applied recently to reduce friction and improve reliability of machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals and piston rings, etc. In this paper, numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of number of dimples on the lubrication characteristics of parallel thrust bearing using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. Pressure distributions of present analysis are physically consistent than those obtained from numerical analysis of Reynolds equation. The overall lubrication characteristics are highly affected by number of dimples and their locations. The results can be use in design of optimum dimple characteristics to improve thrust bearing performance and further researches are required.

Laser surface texturing (LST) methods are widely applied now to reduce friction and improve reliability of machine components such as thrust bearings, mechanical face seals and piston rings, etc. In this paper, the effect of dimple shapes on the lubrication characteristics of parallel thrust bearing are studied using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. Pressure and streamline distributions, variations of supporting load, leakage flow rate and friction force, are compared for three different dimple sectional shapes such as circle, pyramid and rectangle type. The lubrication characteristics are highly affected by dimple shapes and number of dimples. The pyramid type dimple shape can support the highest load while the rectangle type is the best in friction reduction.

The spools in most hydraulic spool type control valve have several circumferential grooves to pre-vent well known hydraulic locking problems which result in high friction force and excessive wear. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT is used to investigate the flow and lubrication characteristics of grooved hydraulic spool valve. The stream lines and pressure distributions are obtained for various groove cross sectional shapes and film thicknesses. The stream lines are highly affected by groove cross sectional shape but pressure distributions mainly depend on the film shape and its magnitude. Therefore the numerical method adopted in this paper and results can be use in designing of various grooved spool valve.

Natural circulation phenomena have been nowadays largely revisited aiming to investigate the performances of passive safety systems in carrying-out heat removal under accidental conditions. For this purpose, assessment studies using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and also 3D thermal-hydraulic system codes are considered at different levels of the design and safety demonstration issues. However, these tools have not being extensively validated for specific natural circulation flow regimes involving flow mixing, temperature stratification, flow recirculation and instabilities. In the present study, an experimental test case based on a small-scale pool test rig experiment performed by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, is considered for code-to-code and code-to-experimental data comparison. The test simulation is carried out using the FLUENT and the 3D thermal-hydraulic system CATHARE-2 codes. The objective is to evaluate and compare their prediction capabilities with respect to the test conditions of the experiment. It was observed that, notwithstanding their numerical and modelling differences, similar agreement results are obtained. Nevertheless, additional investigations efforts are still needed for a better representation of the considered phenomena.

원심 압축기의 원판 마찰 손실은 동력 손실의 한 종류로써, 원심 압축기의 전체 효율 향상을 위해 원판 마찰 손실을 줄여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 원심 압축기의 임펠러 디스크 면과 케이싱 사이의 축 간격 및 표면 조도 변화에 따른 원판 마찰 손실을 분석하였고, 원판마찰손실 저감을 위한 새로운 이론식을 제안하고자 한다. 원심 압축기 임펠러의 정상상태 해석을 위해서 상용 전산해석 코드인 FLUENT의 회전 좌표계와 2-equation k-${\omega}$ SST 모델을 사용하였다. CFD 해석 결과, 원심압축기 임펠러의 원판 마찰 손실은 축 간격의 변화보다는 표면조도의 변화에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 원심압축기 임펠러의 원판 마찰 손실을 최소화하기 위해서 축 간격은 이론적인 경계층 두께와 동일하도록 설정하고 표면조도는 최소화해야 한다.
