The present paper provides a CFD analysis of diffraction problem for a ship with forward speed using an unsteady RANS simulation method, a WAVIS code. The WAVIS viscous solver adopting a finite volume method has second order accuracy in time and field discretizaions for the RANS equations. A two phase level-set method and a realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are adopted to compute the free surface and to meet the turbulence closure, respectively. To validate the capability of the present numerical methods for the simulation of an unsteady progressive regular wave, computations are performed for three grid sets with refinement ratio of ${\sqrt{2}}$. The main simulation is performed for a DTMB5512 model with a forward speed in a regular head sea condition. Validation of the present numerical method is carried out by comparing the present CFD results with available unsteady experimental data published in the 2005 Tokyo CFD Workshop: resistance, heave force, pitch moment, unsteady free surface elevations and velocity fields.

NREL Phase VI 수평축 풍력터빈 주위의 3차원 유동에 대하여 미끄럼 격자 기법을 사용한 비정상 RANS 해석을 수행하였다. 블레이드/타워의 간섭영향을 해석하기 위하여 로터단일과 로터/타워/나셀의 2가지 해석 모델을 구축하였다. 로터/타워/나셀의 해석 결과를 NREL의 실험데이터와 비교하여 CFD 해석모델의 유용성을 확인하였다. 두 모델에 의한 해석 결과의 비교를 통하여 비록 상풍형 풍력터빈으로서 작기는 하지만 타워/나셀의 영향이 확실히 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 다른 가시화 결과와 토크를 포함한 적분 공력하중 등도 구축한 CFD 모델의 비정상 유동해석 능력이 효과적임을 보여주고 있다.

The present paper presents the CFD result for a beam wave test case. An ONR tumblehome ship model with bilge keels is used. The beam wave test is for zero forward speed and roll and heave 2DOF with wave slope $a_k=0.156$ and wavelength ${\lambda}=1.12L_{PP}$, with $L_{PP}$ the ship length. The problems is solved numerically with an unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes approach. The free surface flow is computed using a single-phase level-set method and the motions in each time step are integrated using a predictor-corrector iteration approach which uses dynamic overset grids moving with relative ship motion. The predicted CFD results for motions and forces are compared with experimental data, showing a reasonable agreement.

도심지역을 단순 모델링한 실규모 공간에서 누출된 프로판 확산과정에 대해 대와동모사(Large Eddy Simulation: LES), 분리와동모사(Detached Eddy Simulation: DES) 및 비정상 레이놀즈평균기법(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes: RANS)을 이용한 3가지 전산해석을 수행하였다. 전산해석은 FLUENT 14를 이용하였고 격자계는 ICEM-CFD를 이용하여 구성하였다. 그 결과 건물 주변의 프로판 농도분포는 주변 와구조와 밀접한 관련이 있어 이러한 와구조를 합리적으로 예측하는 정도에 따라 농도분포가 크게 차이날 수 있음을 알았다. LES와 DES는 비교적 유사한 와구조와 프로판 농도분포를 보이지만 RANS는 너무 부드러운 농도분포를 보여 복잡한 비정상적인(Unstedy) 난류 유동장을 재현하는데 한계가 있어 가스연료 누출 초기의 농도분포 전개과정을 예측하는 데에는 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 해석결과와 계산시간까지 고려한다면 DES 방법이 실규모에서의 가스연료 누출 확산과정에 대한 CFD 해석방법으로 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Flows induced by hybrid CRP pod propulsion systems (CRP-POD) are fundamentally characterized by unsteadiness. This work presents a numerical study on the unsteady flow of a CRP-POD at behind-hull condition based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Unsteady RANS method is adopted, coupled with SST k-u turbulence model and sliding mesh method. The propeller thrusts and torques obtained by CFD is validated by model tests and acceptable agreements are obtained. The time histories of shingle-blade loads and pressures near the hull surface are recorded for the analysis of unsteady flow features. The cases of forward propeller alone and aft propeller alone are also computed to distinguish the hull-propeller interaction and propeller-propeller interaction. The results show the blade loads of both forward and aft propellers strongly fluctuate with phase angles. For the forward propeller, the blade load fluctuation is mainly governed by the hull-propeller interaction, while the aft blade load is remarkably affected by the propeller-propeller interaction in terms of the load average and fluctuation pattern. The fields of pressure, vorticity and velocity are also analyzed to reveal the unsteady flow features.

In this paper, CFD simulation results for a tanker model are compared with experimental data over a range of wave conditions to verify a capability to predict the sea-keeping performance of practical hull forms. CFD simulations are conducted using WISDAM-X code which is capable of unsteady RANS calculations in arbitrary wave conditions. Comparisons are made of unsteady surface pressures, added resistance and ship motions in regular waves for cases of fully-loaded and ballast conditions of a large tanker model. It is shown that the simulation results agree fairly well with the experimental data, and that WISDAM-X code can predict sea-keeping performance of practical hull forms.

The structural design of a wind turbine must show the verification of the structural integrity of all load-carrying components. Also, design load calculations shall be performed using appropriate and accurate methods. In this study, advanced numerical approach for the calculation of design loads based on unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented considering extreme design load conditions such as the extreme coherent gust (ECG) and the 50 year extreme operating gust (EOG). Unsteady aerodynamic loads are calculated based on Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with shear-stress transport k-ω(SST k-ω) turbulent model. A full three-dimensional 5 MW offshore wind-turbine model with rotating blades, hub, nacelle, and tower configuration is practically considered and its aerodynamic interference effect among blades, nacelle, and tower is also accurately considered herein. Calculated blade loads based on unsteady CFD method with respect to blade azimuth angle are compared with those by NREL FAST code and physically investigated in detail.

Long-span bridge decks are often shaped as streamlined to improve the aerodynamic performance of the deck. There are a number of important shaping parameters for a streamlined bridge deck. Their effects on aerodynamics should be well understood for shaping the bridge deck efficiently and for facilitating the bridge deck design procedure. This study examined the effect of various shaping parameters such as the bottom plate slope, width ratio and side ratio on aerodynamic responses of single box streamlined bridge decks by employing unsteady RANS simulation. Steady state responses and flow field were analyzed in detail for wide range of bottom plate slopes, width and side ratios. Then for a particular deck shape Reynolds number effect was investigated by varying its value from $1.65{\times}10^4$ to $25{\times}10^4$. The aerodynamic response showed very high sensitivity to the considered shaping parameters and exhibited high aerodynamic performance for a particular combination of shaping parameters.

This paper introduces a BEM/RANS interactive scheme to predict the contra-rotating propeller (CRP) performance. In this scheme, the forward propeller and the aft propeller are handled by two separate BEM models while the interactions between them are achieved by coupling them with a RANS solver. By using the body force field and mass source field to represent the propeller in the RANS model, the number of RANS cells and the number of required RANS iterations reduce significantly. The method provides an efficient way to predict the effective wake, the steady/unsteady propeller forces, etc. The BEM/RANS interactive scheme is first applied to a CRP in both an axisymmetric manner and a non-axisymmetric manner. Results are shown in good agreement with the experimental data in moderate to high advance ratios. It is proved that the difference between the axisymmetric scheme and the non-axisymmetric scheme mainly comes from the non-axisymmetric bodies. It is also found that the error is larger at lower advance ratios. Possible explanations are given. Finally, some additional cases are tested which justifies that the non-axisymmetric BEM/RANS scheme is able to handle a podded CRP working at given inclination angles.

유동광대역소음을 효율적으로 예측하기 위하여 통계적으로 난류를 재생하는 방법에 대한 많은 연구들이 최근에 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도, FRPM(Fast Random Particle Mesh) 기법은 RANS(Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식 해석을 통해 도출된 정상상태 유동장의 난류 운동에너지와 소산 값을 이용하여 특정한 통계적 특성을 가지는 난류를 재생하는 기법으로서 유동광대역소음 문제 등에 성공적인 적용 예에 대해서 보고되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 FRPM 방법은 축류팬과 같이 축 대칭 특성을 갖는 기계의 경우 정상상태의 유동장을 기초로 광대역소음을 예측하는 문제에는 적용할 수 있으나, 원심팬과 같이 볼루트 영역으로 인하여 축 대칭이 성립되지 않는 기계류의 유동광대역소음에는 적용할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 FRPM 기법을 확장하여, 원심팬에서 발생하는 광대역소음을 효율적으로 예측하기 위하여 비정상 RANS 방정식의 수치해와 연계하여 광대역소음원으로 고려되는 난류를 특정한 통계적 특성을 가지도록 재생할 수 있는 U-FRPM(Unsteady-FRPM) 기법을 제안하였다. 먼저 전산유체역학을 사용하여 RANS 방정식을 해석함으로써, 원심팬 주위의 비정상상태 유동장 정보를 도출하고, 음향상사법(Acoustic Analogy)을 기초로 도출된 유동소음원을 U-FRPM을 이용하여 모델링하였다. 모델링된 소음원은 경계요소법을 통해 구현되는 선형음향전파모델과 연계하여 수음점에서 광대역소음을 예측하는데 이용되었다. 예측된 결과와 실험결과의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제시한 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.
