A numerical study was made to choose the better turbulence model for the flow in the discharge flow path from a diffuser to a wall. In this study standard $\kappa-\epsilon$ model(SKE), RNG $\kappa-\epsilon$ model(RNG), and Reynolds stress model(RSM) were applied. In case of the flow with relatively high Reynolds number at a diffuser inlet, the pressure loss coefficients by RNG have a tendency to be near to those by SKE at small ratio(below about 0.35) of $h/D_o$, but to those by RSM at large ratio(above about 0.35). At large ratio RNG begins to enlarge the effects of rapid strain and streamline curvature. RNG & RSM are recommended as the appropriate turbulence models for this case. But it is noticeable that the velocity gradient pattern in RNG is same as in SKE, and also that the total pressure distribution in RNG is same as in RSM only at swirling flow area, same as in SKE only at main flow area.

The flow at the impeller exit is important to validate engineering design and numerical analysis of pumps. However, it is not easy to measure the flow at the impeller exit and evaluate the impeller performance since there is usually strong interaction between the impeller and the volute casing. We installed axisymmetric collector instead of the volute casing, so there is no interaction between the impeller and casing. A 3-hole Cobra probe is used to investigate the flow at impeller exit and vaneless diffuser region for design and on design flow rate. For a single suction centrifugal pump of low specific speed, the flow field such as velocity, flow angle, and total pressure are measured by traversing the probe across the vaneless diffuser. These data can be used for performance prediction, desist and numerical analysis of pumps.

본 연구에서는 반응기의 유입 확대부의 형상이 반응기 내의 유동 및 증착특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 수평형 MOCVD 반응기에서 TMGa와 $AsH_3$로부터의 GaAs 증착에 관한 수치적 연구를 수행하였다. 두 개의 기하학적인자(확대각, 확대부 형상)가 증착률, 증착률 균일도. 유속 균일도, 압력강하에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다 웨이퍼 위에서의 증착률 균일도, 평균증착률, 유속 균일도를 고려한 결과, 직선형 확대부의 최적 확대각은 $50^{\circ}$∼$55^{\circ}$이며 포물선형 확대부의경우, $40^{\circ}$∼$45^{\circ}$이다. 또한 확대부의 확대각의 변화는 평균증착률 보다 증착률의 균일도에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있으며 직선확대부보다 포물선형의 확대부에서 더 민감하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

고고도 모사를 위한 축소형 디퓨저의 비연소장 조건에서의 성능특성을 수치적으로 파악하였다. 디퓨저 입구길이를 노즐 출구직경과 비교해 0, 50, 100%로 변화 시켰고, 디퓨저 목의 길이는 2차목의 직경과 비교해 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12로 다양화하여 해석하고 실제 모사실험 값과 비교하였다. 그 결과 디퓨저의 입구길이가 짧아질수록 plume의 형상은 수축되었다. 또한, 디퓨저의 2차목 길이가 디퓨저 지름의 최소 8배보다 짧으면 내부에 마하디스크가 형성되어 압력의 급격한 상승을 일으킨다. 아음속 디퓨저의 길이는 설계치의 0, 50, 75, 100%로 변화시켜 유동의 변화를 관찰하였고, 길이가 짧아질수록 2차목 내부에 갑작스런 압력 상승을 야기함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, design optimization for mixed-flow pump impellers and diffusers has been studied using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code and DOE (design of experiments). We also discussed how to improve the performance of the mixed-flow pump by designing the impeller and diffuser. Geometric design variables were defined by the vane plane development, which indicates the blade-angle distributions and length of the impeller and diffusers. The vane plane development was controlled using the blade-angle in a fixed meridional shape. First, the design optimization of the defined impeller geometric variables was achieved, and then the flow characteristics were analyzed in the point of incidence angle at the diffuser leading edge for the optimized impeller. Next, design optimizations of the defined diffuser shape variables were performed. The importance of the geometric design variables was analyzed using $2^k$ factorial designs, and the design optimization of the geometric variables was determined using the response surface method (RSM). The objective functions were defined as the total head and the total efficiency at the design flow rate. Based on the comparison of CFD results between the optimized pump and base design models, the reason for the performance improvement was discussed.

Recently, impressive gains of performance and efficiency with apparently little or no loss in flow range have been seen with the use of LSVD(Low Solidity Vaned Diffuser) over vaneless diffuser. Experiments of the effects of the vane turning angle variations(positive, negative, zero), with the other design parameters fixed, on the performance and flow range were carried out. Diffusers with a zero turning angle have the best characteristics in terms of performance and efficiency and the FFT results show different frequency characteristics due to vane turning angles in low flow range.

In this study, the instability of a centrifugal compressor with vaned diffuser was investigated. During unstable operation of the test compressor, pressure fluctuations at different diffuser radius ratios were measured by using high frequency pressure transducers. Two different types of stall, mild and deep stalls, were observed alternately and irregularly at some flow rates where the compressor performance was steeply deteriorated. In this transient zone, the size of rotating stall cell was estimated through the wavelet transform analysis. It was about 45 percents of rotor circumferential space at 300 rpm and not dependent on flow rate.

An assessment of two-equation turbulence models, the low Reynolds k-${\varepsilon}$ and k-${\omega}$ SST models, with the compressibility corrections proposed by Sarkar and Wilcox, has been performed. The compressibility models are evaluated by investigating transonic or supersonic flows, including the arc-bump, transonic diffuser, supersonic jet impingement, and unsteady supersonic diffuser. A unified implicit finite volume scheme, consisting of mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, is used, and the results are compared with experimental data. The model accuracy is found to depend strongly on the flow separation behavior. An MPI (Message Passing Interface) parallel computing scheme is implemented.

An experimental study is performed on the flow characteristics of a swirl-jet diffuser for factory ventilation. Swirl number ranges from 0(nonswirl jet) to 0.6 when the angle of swirl vane is 60 degree. As swirl becomes strong, the maximum velocity in the plane perpendicular to jet axis decreases fast and the uniformity of velocity becomes good, particularly in the ventilated area. The similarity in velocity profiles has been found for axial velocity from even when swirl number equals 0.6. The flow characteristics of the swirl-jet which has the swirl number of 0.6 is thought to be the best among these three swirl numbers for factory ventilation. However, the pressure drop in the diffuser increases as the swirl becomes strong. This should be considered in the design of the total ventilation system including a duct system.
