The stirred tank reactor is one of the most commonly used devices in industry for achieving mixing and reaction. Here we report on results obtained from the large eddy simulations of flow inside the tank performed using a spectral multi-domain technique. The computations were driven by specifying the impeller-induced flow at the blade tip radius. Stereoscopic PlY measurements (Hill et al. $^{(1)}$) along with the theoretical model of the impeller-induced flow (Yoon et al. $^{(2)}$) were used in defining the impeller-induced flow as superposition of circumferential, jet and tip vortex pair components. Large eddy simulation of flow in a stirred tank was carried out for the three different Reynolds numbers of 4000, 16000 and 64000. The effect of different Reynolds numbers is well observed in both instantaneous and time averaged flow fields. The instantaneous and mean vortex structures are identified by plotting an isosurfaces of swirling strength for all Reynolds numbers. The Reynolds number dependency of the non-dimensional eddy viscosity, resolved scale and subgrid scale dissipations is clearly shown in this study.

The crossflow is the key phenomenon in turbulent flow inside rod bundles. In order to establish confidence on application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the crossflow in rod bundles, three Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) models i.e. the realizable k-ε model, the k-ω SST model and the Reynolds stress model (RSM), and the Large Eddy simulations (LES) with the Wall-Adapting Local Eddy-viscosity (WALE) model are validated based on the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow measurement experiment in a 5 × 5 rod bundle. In order to investigate effects of periodic boundary condition in the gap, the numerical results obtained with four inner subchannels are compared with that obtained with the whole 5 × 5 rod bundle. The results show that periodic boundaries in the gaps produce strong errors far downstream of the spacer grid, and therefore the full 5 × 5 rod bundle should be simulated. Furthermore, it can be concluded, that the realizable k-ε model can only provide reasonable results very close to the spacer grid, while the other investigated models are in good agreement with the experimental data in the whole downstream flow in the rod bundle. The LES approach shows superiority to the RANS models.

Large-eddy simulations of the flow around a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number, based on cylinder diameter and free-stream velocity, $Re_D=2{\times}10^4$ are presented. Three different dynamic subgrid-scale models are used, viz. the dynamic eddy-viscosity model and two different mixed two-parameter models. The sensitivity to grid refinement in the spanwise and radial directions is systematically investigated. For the highest resolution considered, the effects of subgrid-scale modeling are also discussed in detail. In particular, it is shown that SGS modeling has a significant influence on the low-frequency modulations of the aerodynamics loads, which are related to significant changes in the near wake structure.

The suitable estimation of the filter width in the dynamic eddy viscosity model were investigated in high Reynolds number channel flow. In this study, the improvement on matters by optimizing the test filter shape was attempted through the numerical experiment. The way that select optimum test filter width is recommended. Some test filters, one is based on a discrete representation of the top-hat filter and another are based on a high-order filtering operation, are evaluated in simulations of the turbulent channel flow at Reynolds number 1020, based on friction velocity and channel half width. It appears that the estimation of test filter width practically can decrease the dissipative nature of dynamic eddy viscosity model with explicit test filter. It shows that the value of the filter width ratio used in the dynamic procedure must match the properties of the test filter actually used in the calculation.

The turbulent flow and vortex shedding phenomena around pantograph panhead of high speed train were investigated and compared with available experimental data and other simulations. The pantograph head was simplified to be a square-cross-section pillar and assumed to be no interference with other bodies. The Reynolds number (Re) was 22,000. The LES(large eddy simulation) of FDS code was applied to solve the momentum equations and the Wener-Wengle wall model was employed to solve the near wall turbulent flow. Smagorinsky model($C_s$=0.2) was used as SGS(subgrid scale) model. The total grid numbers were about 9 millions and the analyzed domain was divided into 12 multi blocks which were communicated with each other by MPI. The time-averaged mainstream flows were calculated and well compared with experimental data. The phased-averaged quantities had also a good agreement with experimental data. The near-wall turbulence should be carefully treated by wall function or direct resolution to get successful application of LES methods.

This paper handled an investigation on the turbulent flow characteristics of three-dimensional small-size axial fan(SSAF) according to operating loads. Also, it was carried out by unsteady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional large eddy simulation(LES). The downstream flow type of SSAF is changed from axial flow to radial flow around the beginning of stall region at the aerodynamic performance curve. Axial mean velocity component largely grows around blade tip at the operating point of A to D, but transverse and vertical mean velocity components as well as Reynolds shear stresses highly develop around blade tip at the operating point of E to H. On the other hand, the peak value of turbulent kinetic energy developed around blade tip shows the highest at the operating point of E.

The blockage effect on the aerodynamic characteristics of tall buildings is a fundamental issue in wind tunnel test but has rarely been addressed. To evaluate the blockage effects on the aerodynamic forces on a square tall building and flow field peripherally, large eddy simulations (LES) were performed on a 3D square cylinder with an aspect ratio of 6:1 under the uniform smooth inflow and turbulent atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) inflow generated by the narrowband synthesis random flow generator (NSRFG). First, a basic case at a blockage ratio (BR) of 0.8% was conducted to validate the adopted numerical methodology. Subsequently, simulations were systematically performed at 6 different BRs. The simulation results were compared in detail to illustrate the differences induced by the blockage, and the mechanism of the blockage effects under turbulent inflow was emphatically analysed. The results reveal that the pressure coefficients, the aerodynamic forces, and the Strouhal number increase monotonically with BRs. Additionally, the increase of BR leads to more coherence of the turbulent structures and the higher intensity of the vortices in the vicinity of the building. Moreover, the blockage effects on the aerodynamic forces and flow field are more significant under smooth inflow than those under turbulent inflow.

3차원 Large Eddy Simulation(LES)와 Proper Orthogonal Decomposition(POD) 기법을 이용하여 고체로켓의 인히비터에서 발생하는 연소실내 압력 진동 특성을 분석하였다. 인히비터 후방에서 발생한 와류는 Flow-acoustic coupling에 의해 주기적으로 반복하여 생성, 소멸이 이루어지는 것을 확인하였고, 이 와류가 내삽 노즐 입구 도출부에 충돌하면서 유동이 불균질하게 분해되고, 후방 돔으로 유입된 유동에 의한 압력 진동은 연소실 압력 진동 가진의 원인이 된다. 또한 인히비터에서 발생하는 와흘림(vortex shedding) 주기는 연소실내 와류 발생 주기와 일치하며, 실험에서 측정된 압력 진동 주파수와 비교 분석하였다.

다중 스월 환형 연소기의 난류 유동장을 Large Eddy Simulation(LES)와 병렬 계산 기법을 사용하여 모사하였다. 해석에 이용된 연소기 모델은 GEAE 의 LM6000 연소기이다. 연소기 내에서 와류의 생성과 소멸은 단일 인젝터 해석결과와 유사하나, 인젝터간 상호 인접구간에서의 와류의 충돌은 인젝터간 와류 강도가 다르며, 이로 인하여 복잡하고 강한 압력파가 연소실 내에 전파됨을 확인하였다. 특히 다중 스월인젝터를 모사하므로서 횡방향의 압력 진동이 수치적으로 포획되었다.
