The energy absorbing characteristics of crash members in a car collision play an important role in controlling the amount of damage to the passenger compartment. Crash members filled with aluminum foam are expected to have reduced mass while maintaining or even improving the crashworthiness compared to the conventional hollow-beam types. Finite element simulations are carried out in the present work to assess the improvement of crashworthiness by the use of aluminum foam fillers. The numerical results agreed well with experimental measurements. Parametric studies are conducted to analyze the effect of impact velocity, weld strength, and initiator on the crash response.

The availability of a high quality open source CFD simulation platform like OpenFOAM offers new R&D opportunities by providing direct access to models and solver implementation details. Efforts have been made by Hydro-Qu$\'{e}$bec to adapt OpenFOAM to hydroturbines for the development of steady-state capabilities. This paper describes the developments that have been made to implement new turbomachinery related capabilities: multiple frames of reference solver, domain coupling interfaces (GGI, cyclicGGI and mixing plane) and specialized boundary conditions. Practical use of the new turbomachinery capabilities are demonstrated for the analysis of a 195-MW Francis turbine.

포말분리 장치를 이용한 해수 중의 단백질 제거 특성을 조사한 결과, 단백질 농도가 높을 수록 또한 폭기량이 높을수록 단백질의 제거속도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 각각의 제거특성을 통계학적으로 비선형 회귀분석하여 각각의 인자의 변화에 따른 단백질 농도의 변화를 다음의 식으로 나타낼 수 있었다. $$f\;(Co,\;u)=1.5712\times10^{-7}\timesCo^{3.061}\timesu^{1.258}$$ 위 식을 이용하여 유한차분법으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 실제 포말분리 운전에서 나타난 결과와 상관성이 아주 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

상대 유전율이 2.5인 태프론 기판(31 mil)과 상대 유전율이 1.06인 Foam을 이용하여 개구 결합 급전 방식 의 Ku 밴드 U 슬롯 마이크로 스트립 안테나플 섣계 및 제착하고 반사손실, 동일/교차 편파 방사패턴. 이득 등을 측정하였다. Foam을 사용한 경우 교차편파와 후방방사를 적절한 크기 이내로 제한하는 범위 내에서 38 %정도의 임피던스 대역폭을 보였으며 시율레이션 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 동일/교차 편파 방사 패턴도 시율 레이션 결과와 유사하였다.

A wide scope of numerical simulations was performed to predict model-ship resistances by using STAR-CCM+ and OpenFOAM. The numerical results were compared with experimental measurements in towing tank to analyze statistical reliability of the present simulations. Based on the normal distribution of resistance errors in 113 cases of container carriers, tankers and very large crude-oil carriers, the confidence intervals of numerical error were estimated as [-2.64%,+2.32%] and [-1.82%, +1.87%] with 95% confidence in STAR-CCM+ and OpenFOAM, respectively. The resistance errors of liquefied natural gas carriers with single- and twin-skeg were confident in the ranges of [-2.51%,+2.64%] and [-2.29%, +1.46%], respectively. The grid uncertainty of resistance coefficients for KCS was also quantitatively analyzed by using a grid verification procedure. The grid uncertainty of OpenFOAM (5.1%) was larger than 4.4% uncertainty of STAR-CCM+ although OpenFOAM provided statistically more confident results than those of STAR-CCM+. It means that a grid system verified under a specific condition does not automatically lead to statistical reliability in general cases.

Foam reaction injection molding (FRIM) is a widely used process for manufacturing polyurethane foam with complex shapes. The modified theoretical model for polyurethane foam forming reaction during FRIM process was established in our previous work. In this study, using the modified model, parametric study for FRIM process was performed in order to optimize experimental conditions of FRIM process such as initial temperature of mold, thickness of mold, and injection amount of polymerizing mixture. In addition, we applied the modified model to real application of refrigerator cabinet to determine optimal manufacturing conditions for polyurethane FRIM process.

본 연구에서는 가스다이내믹 공진 점화시스템 (Gas-dynamic Ignition System)의 온도상승 지배인자를 파악하고, 공진관으로의 질량유입 패턴의 영향에 대해 연구하였다. OpenFOAM 프로그램을 이용하여 세 가지 Case에 대한 전산해석을 수행하였으며, RhoCentralFoam을 적용하였다. 해석결과로, 작동유체의 가열이 공기열역학적 현상에 의한 것임을 밝히고, 공진관으로의 원활한 질량유입이 온도 상승에 중요한 지배인자임을 확인하였다.

The ISP-47 TOSQAN experiment was analyzed with containmentFOAM which is an open-source CFD code based on OpenFOAM. The containment phenomena taking place during the experiment are gas mixing, stratification and wall condensation in a mixture composed of steam and non-condensable gas. The k-ω SST turbulence model was adopted with buoyancy turbulence models. The wall condensation model used is based on the diffusion layer approach. We have simulated the full TOSQAN experiment which had a duration 20000 s. Sensitivity studies were conducted for the buoyancy turbulence models with SGDH and GGDH and there were not significant differences. All the main features of the experiments namely pressure history, temperature, velocity and gas species evolution were well predicted by containemntFOAM. The simulation results confirmed the formation of two large flow stream circulations and a mixing zone resulting by the combined effects of the condensation flow and natural convection flow. It was found that the natural convection in lower region of the vessel devotes to maintain two large circulations and to be varied the height of the mixing zone as result of sensitivity analysis of non-condensing wall temperature. The computational results obtained with the 2D mesh grid approach were comparable to the experimental results.

This paper presents a numerical study on investigating on hydrodynamic characteristics of a marine propeller in oblique flow. The study is achieved by RANS simulations on an open source platform - OpenFOAM. A sliding grid approach is applied to compute the rotating motion of the propeller. Total force and moment acting on blades, as well as average force distributions in one revolution on propeller disk, are obtained for 70 cases of combinations of advance ratios and oblique angles. The computed results are compared with available experimental data and discussed.

하천설계에서 제방과 홍수터의 안정성 확보를 위해서는 바닥전단응력을 고려하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 하폭과 수심에 따른 복단면의 바닥전단응력을 모의하여 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 바닥전단응력 분포에 지배적인 영향을 주는 이차류를 모의하기 위하여 OpenFOAM의 large eddy simulation (LES)를 적용하였으며 하폭과 수심을 고려하여 12개의 케이스를 모의하였다. 모의 결과를 이용하여 시간 평균 유속 분포, 이차류 분포, 바닥전단응력 분포 등의 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 홍수터 바닥전단응력 분포는 전체적으로 홍수터 좌안에서 높은 값이 나타나고 우안 방향으로 감소하는 경향을 확인하였으나 이차류에 의해 상당한 국부적인 변화가 나타남을 확인하였다. 홍수터의 수심이 얕은 경우에는 홍수터의 바닥전단응력이 평균전단응력의 0.8배 이하로 낮은 값이 나타나고 있으나 홍수터의 수심이 깊은 경우에는 평균전단응력의 1.2-1.4배의 높은 값이 나타남을 확인하였다. 홍수터의 폭이 좁은 경우에는 홍수터 우안 측벽의 영향으로 국부적으로 높은 값이 나타나는 것도 확인할 수 있었다.
