The efficient steam drum should be required to reduce carbon oxide emissions and heat recovery in oxygen converter hood system. However, steam generation is limited to the time of the oxygen blowing period, which is intermittent or cyclical in operation of steel-making process. Thus, steam drum should be optimized for an effective steam generation during the oxygen blowing portion of the converter cycle. In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to describe the impacts of changing various operating conditions and geometric shape on thermo-fluid characteristics and performance of the steam drum. This model encompasses not only fluid flow and heat transfer but also evaporation and condensation at the interfacial surface in the steam drum by using VOF (Volume of Fluid) method. To validate the prediction performance of this model, comparison of the steam flow rate between numerical and experimental result has been performed, resulting in the accuracy of the relative error by less than 3.2%.

In the present study, we propose a virtual boundary method for simulation of massive inextensible flexible strings immersed in viscous fluid flow. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations and a momentum forcing is added in order to bring the fluid to move at the same velocity with the immersed surface. A massive inextensible flexible string model is described by another set of equations with an additional momentum forcing which is a result of the fluid viscosity and the pressure difference across the string. The momentum forcing is calculated by a feedback loop. Simulations of several numerical examples are carried out, inlcuding a hanging string which starts moving under gravity without ambient fluid, a string swimming within a uniform flow and a uniform flow over two side-by side strings. The numerical results agree well with the theoretical analysis and previous experimental observations. Preliminary results of a swimming elongated fishlike body will also be presented.

The aim of this paper is to investigate how the soil-structure interaction affects sloshing response of the elevated tanks. For this purpose, the elevated tanks with two different types of supporting systems which are built on six different soil profiles are analyzed for both embedded and surface foundation cases. Thus, considering these six different profiles described in well-known earthquake codes as supporting medium, a series of transient analysis have been performed to assess the effect of both fluid sloshing and soil-structure interaction (SSI). Fluid-Elevated Tank-Soil/Foundation systems are modeled with the finite element (FE) technique. In these models fluid-structure interaction is taken into account by implementing Lagrangian fluid FE approximation into the general purpose structural analysis computer code ANSYS. A 3-D FE model with viscous boundary is used in the analyses of elevated tanks-soil/foundation interaction. Formed models are analyzed for embedment and no embedment cases. Finally results from analyses showed that the soil-structure interaction and the structural properties of supporting system for the elevated tanks affected the sloshing response of the fluid inside the vessel.

In this study the heat transfer and fluid flow of the molten pool in stationary gas tungsten arc welding using argon shielding gas were investigated. Transporting phenomena from the welding arc to the base material surface, such as current density, heat flux, arc pressure and shear stress acting on the weld pool surface, were taken from the simulation results of the corresponding welding arc. Various driving forces for the weld pool convection were considered, self-induced electromagnetic, surface tension, buoyancy, and impinging plasma arc forces. Furthermore, the effect of surface depression due to the arc pressure acting on the molten pool surface was considered. Because fusion boundary has a curved and unknown shape during welding, a boundary-fitted coordinate system was adopted to precisely describe the boundary for the momentum equation. The numerical model was applied to AISI 304 stainless steel and compared with the experimental results.

We investigate near-infrared light (NIR) propagation in a model of an adult head using an extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The adult head model is a four-layered slab which consists of a surface layer, a cerebrospinal fluid layer, a gray-matter layer, and a white-matter layer. We study the effects of a refractive index mismatch on the model, calculating the intensity of detected light, mean flight time, and partial mean flight time of each layer for various refractive indices of the cerebrospinal fluid layer as functions of source-detector spacing. The Monte Carlo simulation shows that the refractive index mismatch presents very rich results including rapidly decaying intensity of detected light and a peak and cross-over in the partial mean flight time with source-detector spacing. We also investigate spatial sensitivity profiles at various source-detector spacings, discussing the index mismatch effect on the model.

자연 현상에서 나타나는 물이나 바다와 같은 유체를 3 차원으로 시뮬레이션하는데 있어서 가장 중요한 요소는 실시간에 사실적으로 실행 가능하도록하는 것이다. 유체 모델은 특정 상황에 따른 다양한 방정식과 많은 파라미터값에 의해 제어되기 때문에 시뮬레이션하는데 많은 어려움이 따른다. 또한 복잡한 물리 수식을 기반으로 하기 때문에 유체 모델을 시뮬레이션하기 위해서는 많은 수행 시간이 소요된다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 유체와 강체(rigid body) 사이의 상호작용을 표현하기 위해 간략화된 유체 표면 모델(Fluid-Surface Model)을 제안하고, 개선된 계산과정을 통해 보다 빠르게 시뮬레이션하도록 한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 유체의 표면과 강체의 상호작용을 표현하는데 있어서 유체의 항력에 의해서 강체와 충돌시 발생하는 유체 표면의 움직임을 강체 모델의 제어를 통해 나타낸다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 자연스러운 유체 표면 모델은 유체역학적 방법을 사용하여 실시간에 사실적으로 표현된다. 그리고 이러한 유체 표면 모델을 PC 환경에서 사용자와 상호작용 가능하도록 재현하여, 게임이나 애니메이션에서의 유체 모델들에도 적용할 수 있다.

VOF 방법에 의한 자유표면 유동계산의 정확성을 개선하기 위해 이차정도 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 이차원 모델의 정확성을 비교하기 위하여 여러 가지 크기의 원형 및 Solitary wave형상의 자유표면 유동을 통하여 기존에 개발된 두 가지의 일차정도 모델과 비교하였다. 비교결과 반경이 큰 원과 같이 곡률이 작은 형상의 경우에는 일차정도 모델도 비교적 정확한 결과를 보여주고 있으나 작은 반경의 원형이나 Solitary wave와 같이 곡률이 큰 형상의 경우 일차정도 모델은 많은 오차를 보여주는 반면에 이차정도 모델은 어느 경우에나 매우 정확한 결과를 보여준다.

We can see interactions between rigid body and fluid every day, anywhere. This kind of rigid body-fluid simulation is one of the most difficult problems in physically-based modeling, mainly due to heavy computations. In this paper, we present a real-time dynamics model for simulating stone skipping, which is a popular rigid body-fluid interaction in the real world. In comparison to the previous works, our improved dynamics model supports the rotation of the stones and also computes frictional forces with respect to the air. We can simulate a realistic result for various user input by using proposed model. Additionally, we present a water surface model to show more realistic ripples interactively. Our methods can be easily adapted to other interactive dynamics systems including 3D game engines.

Optimization process of pre-swirl nozzle geometry was conducted to improve the discharge coefficient of pre-swirl system by using CFD. The optimization of pre-swirl nozzle shape covered the converging angle and the location of the converging nozzle. Optimization process included Optimal Latin Hyper-cube Design method to get the experimental points and the Kriging method to create the response surface which gives candidate points. The process was finished when the difference between the predicted value and CFD value of candidate point was less than 0.1 %. This paper compared the Reference model, Initial model which is the first model of optimization and Optimized model to study flow characteristics. Finally, the discharge coefficient of Optimized model is improved about 17 % to the Reference model.

In CO₂ laser surface machining of plastic films in modern display manufacturing, scattering of fume particles could be a major source of well-recognized film surface contamination. This computational fluid dynamics research investigates the suction air flow patterns over a film surface as well as the dispersion of micron-sized fume particles with low-Reynolds number particle drag model. The numerical results show the recirculatory flow patterns near laser machining point on film surface and also over the surface of vertical suction slot, which may hinder the efficient removal of fume particles from film surface. The dispersion characteristics of fume particles with various particle size have been tested systematically under different levels of suction flow intensity. It is found that suction removal efficiency of fume particles heavily depends on the particle size in highly nonlinear manners and a higher degree of suction does not always results in more efficient particle removal.
