최근 임상용 LVAD의 계속된 발전으로 인해 환자들의 삶이 연장되었다. 그러나 LVAD가 환자의 삶을 연장하였지만, 우심실 심부전증을 야기 시켰고, 결론적으로 환자들은 RVAD가 필요하게 되었다. 이러한 이유로 장시간 사용할 수 있는 BVAD의 도입이 요구 되어졌다. 최근 BVAD에 관련된 연구들을 보면 장시간 사용을 위한 원심 BVAD의 디자인과 BVAD에서의 누수 정도를 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BVAD의 누수를 파악하기 위한 속도 데이터와 용적당 흐름 비율의 계산을 CFD를 사용하여 해석적으로 조사하고자 하였다. CFD의 해석 결과 틈새부위의 회전수가 증가 할수록 혈액의 흐름을 방해하는 역류가 증가하고 유량도 줄어들어, 틈새부위의 누수량이 회전속도의 변화에 의존된다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Emergency generators normally use diesel engines. The generators need to conduct weekly no-load operation inspections to ensure stable performance at emergency situations. In particular, the generators with large diesel engines mainly use rectangle type filter substrates. In order to minimize hazardous emissions generated by generators, optimizing the reduction efficiency through CFD analysis of flow characteristics of PM/NO_X reduction system is important. In this study, we analyzed internal flow by CFD, which is difficult to confirm by experimental method. The main factors in our numerical study are the changes of flow uniformity and back pressure. Therefore, changes in flow characteristics were studied according to urea injector locations, selective catalyst reduction (SCR) diffuser angle, and filter porosity.

This paper studies the wind pressure distribution over the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Council building model (CAARC model) using CFD. We also considered the interaction between the CAARC model and other buildings. The Reynolds number based on the building height was 380,000. The number of sells for the simulation was about 500,000. The wind pressure was lowest when the wind direction was blowing at an angle 45 degrees of the CAARC model. When the gap between the two buildings in front of the CAARC was over 1/2 the horizontal length of the CAARC model, the wind pressure was higher than the pressure without the two buildings. When the distance between the two front buildings and the CAARC was less than 1.5 times the vertical length of the CAARC model, the wind pressure increased. Accordingly, the relative distance between two buildings or the distance from the CAARC model should be considered when extra wind exists due to other buildings.

Performance analyses were performed on a propeller developed for use in a PAV (Personal Air Vehicle) under 600 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). The actuator disc theory and CFD analyses were used to estimate the hovering time with regards to MTOW variation for a given battery weight. The interference induced power factor kint was introduced to account for the effect of flow interference between the propellers and to estimate the performance of counter-rotating propellers. The Maximum Figure of Merit (FM) value of the propeller pitch was determined and the design RPM range for the required power inversely obtained from the CFD results. Previous research indicate that the flight time of large multi-copter is limited by the available battery energy density. Similarly, the propeller pitch settings and spacing are important factors in reducing the kint value.

캐스케이드형 연료전지 시스템에 있어서 각 스택의 단에서 전기화학반응에 의해 생성된 물을 분리하여 적절하게 배출시켜주는 것은 스택의 성능 및 내구성 향상을 위해 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 연료전지 스택 각 단의 상이한 조건에 맞는 기액분리기의 설계가 필요하다. 유량에 따른 기액분리기의 부피와 원활한 연료 가스와 생성수의 분리를 위한 내부구조 및 입구 속도 등의 변수들에 따라 기액분리기의 성능 뿐만 아니라 연료전지 시스템 전체의 성능에 영향을 준다. 그러나 기액분리기의 폐쇄적 구조 때문에 실험을 통해 내부의 거동 및 현상을 파악할 수 없어 앞서 언급한 변수들의 효과를 확인할 수 없는 문제점이 있다. 이에 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics, 전산유체역학)를 활용하여 각 조건에 따른 기액분리기 내부의 현상을 파악하고 이를 통해 기액분리기 설계를 최적화하였다.

The behavior and flow characteristics of the floating wave energy converter were analyzed by using CFD in this study. The average significant wave height was confirmed as 0.5~2.0m from the Korean coastal sea area. This study was carried out by selecting a range of 1.0~1.6m in the wave height to simulate the operations of realistic wave energy converter system. The principle of a piston wave maker was applied in order to produce periodic wave. The behavior of the wave energy converter and the state of the wave overtopping according to the generated periodic wave were confirmed through the unsteady three-dimensional flow analysis. It was found that the wave overtopping rate according to the generated periodic wave was in range of the 11.6~30.0 kg/s.

In recent years cluster systems using off-the-shelf processors and networks components have been increasing popular. Since actual performance of a cluster system varies significantly for different architectures, representative in-house codes from major application fields were executed to evaluate the actual performance of systems with different combination of CPU, network, and network topology. As an example of practical CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, the flow past an Onera-M6 wing and the flow past an infinite wing were simulated on clusters of Linux and several other hardware environments.

The objective of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics of polluted air behavior in rectangular tunnels using a PIV system and a commercial CFD program. The PIV experiments are simulated by using the olive oil as the tracer particles in scaled rectangular tunnels. Each model has one of four different outlet vents, each dimensionless L/H ratio of which is 0, 0.375, 0.75 and 1.125, respectively as the locations of each outlet are away from the vertical centerline through the inlet. A commercial CFD program, ANSYS CFX, was used to examine the velocity fields and the pressure distributions in numerical simulations. The kinematic viscosity of the air flow of $1.51{\times}10^{-5}m^2/s$ and the flow velocity of 0.3 m/s at the inlet are given under the same conditions in order to analyze the polluted air flow characteristics experimentally and computationally. This study is considered to examine the effect of the outlet locations in the naturally ventilated tunnel models.

In this study, a cross-flow fan system used in indoor unit of the split-type air conditioner is analyzed by computational simulation. A commercial CFD code - Fluent - is used to calculate the performance and its unsteady flow characteristics. The unsteady incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a sliding mesh technique on the interface between rotating fan region and the outside. The acoustic pressure is calculated by using Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation. (omitted)

우리나라 주요 수자원인 댐 저수지는 여름철 성층현상으로 인해 많은 수질문제가 발생하여 산기식 수중폭기장치를 설치하고 있다. 그러나 산기식 수중폭기장치의 설계인자들은 대부분 lab-scale의 실험연구를 통해 검토되고 설계에 반영되고 있어 실제 댐 저수지에 적용하기 위해서는 현장적용성을 고려하여 개선될 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 실제 댐 저수지의 현장조건을 고려하여 CFD 모의실험을 통해 산기식 수중폭기장치의 설계인자인 무차원변수 DN (Destratification Number)과 탈성층 영향반경 및 효율을 검토하였다. 그 결과 현장조건에서의 DN값은 lab-scale 실험조건보다 더 넓은 범위를 가지며, 단위수심당 탈성층 영향반경은 DN값이 증가할수록 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 탈성층 효율은 DN값이 증가할수록 선형적으로 증가하다가 증가율이 감소하면서 일정해지는 것으로 분석되었다.
