Comprehensive experimental works are carried out for the optimal design of a centrifugal blower adopted in an indoor unit of an air-conditioner. The models for consideration are typical multi-blade turbo blower and limit loaded one, respectively. The main interest lies on the fluid dynamics performance when the blower Is installed in the practical system. The methodologies are an experimental estimations with a wind tunnel for blower performance and PIV measurement for the detail flow information. A centrifugal blower with limit loaded fan shows pronounced performances in terms of the flow rate and static pressure rise and the reason is explained by the precise measurement of the flows between blades using PIV. Consequently, it is found that the blower is proper for the flows with a resistance in down stream such as a heat exchanger.

Performances of multiple surrogate models are evaluated in a turbomachinery blade shape optimization. The basic models, i.e., Response Surface Approximation, Kriging and Radial Basis Neural Network models as well as weighted average models are tested for shape optimization. Global data based errors for each surrogates are used to calculate the weights. These weights are multiplied with the respective surrogates to get the final weighted average models. The design points are selected using three level fractional factorial D-optimal designs. The present approach can help address the multi-objective design on a rational basis with quantifiable cost-benefit analysis.

A high-order accurate Euler flow solver based on a discontinuous Galerkin method has been developed for the numerical simulation of unsteady flows on unstructured meshes. A multi-level solution-adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening technique was adopted to enhance the resolution of numerical solutions efficiently by increasing mesh density in the high-gradient region. An acoustic wave scattering problem was investigated to assess the accuracy of the present discontinuous Galerkin solver, and a supersonic flow in a wind tunnel with a forward facing step was simulated by using the adaptive mesh refinement technique. It was shown that the present discontinuous Galerkin flow solver can capture unsteady flows including the propagation and scattering of the acoustic waves as well as the strong shock waves.

Transport of a scalar quantity, such as chemical concentration or temperature, is important in many engineering applications and environmental flows. Here we report on results obtained from the large eddy simulations of flow and concentration fields 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 (Yoon et al. $^{(1)}$). This study focused on the concentration development at different molecular diffusivities in a stirred tank operated under turbulent conditions. The main objective of the work presented here is to study the large-scale mixing structure at different molecular diffusivities in a stirred tank by using the large eddy simulation. The time sequence of concentration and flow fields shows the flow dependency of the concentration development. The presence of spatial inhomogenieties is detailed by observing the time variation of local concentration at different positions.

A numerical study based on the three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations is presented to analyze the transonic flowfield through two-stage axial compressor. Explicit four-step Runge-Kutta scheme is used for solution algorithm, and local time step and implicit residual averaging are introduced for enhancing the convergency. Artificial dissipation model is adopted to assure the stability of solution. The solver is coupled with Baldwin-Lomax model to describe turbulence. To avoid calculating the unsteady flow, a mixing process is modeled at a station between rotating and stationary blade rows. Results show a variety of important physical phenomena. Comparison of the flowfields with and without tip clearance shows that the effect is considerable in this flowfield. Comparisons with experimental data carried out to validate the calculational results show reasonable agreements. Some remedies are also suggested to improve the revealed problems.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastics containing carbon fibers. CFRPs can be expensive to produce, but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity are required, such as in the aerospace, automotive, and ship superstructure industries. In CFRP drilling, the tool performance greatly varies depending on the tool shapes, cutting conditions, and diamond coating. This study developed a new type of tungsten carbide drill with multi-blade edges to evaluate the surface quality of CFRP materials according to the coating thickness of diamond-coated drills. Experiments on tool wear, surface roughness, and burr formation were conducted. The bore exit quality of a 12 mμ -coated drill was better than that of a 6 mμ -coated drill. The superior effects of the 12 mμ -coated drill and the good surface quality of CFRP were also demonstrated.

Sediment erosion is one of the key challenges in hydraulic turbines from a design and maintenance perspective in Himalayas. The present study focuses on choosing the best design in terms of blade angle distribution of a Francis turbine runner which has least erosion effect without influencing the efficiency and the structural integrity. A fully coupled Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) analysis was performed through a multi-field solver, which showed that the maximum stress induced in the optimized design for better sediment handling, is less than that induced in the reference design. Some numerical validation techniques have been shown for both CFD and FSI analysis.

풍력터빈 블레이드 풍동시험의 경우 사용가능한 시험설비의 크기제한으로 인해 축소모델 사용이 불가피하며, 이로 인해 풍동시험에서는 실물 블레이드에 비해 10% 미만의 낮은 Re수에서 시험이 수행된다. 축소모델 블레이드 풍동시험 결과를 활용하여 실물 블레이드의 성능(토크)를 추정하기 위한 축소효과 보정기법을 2008년 제시하였으며, NREL Phase VI 모델 시험결과에 적용하였다. 당시 제시된 보정기법은 단일익형을 전체 블레이드에 사용한 사례이며 축소효과 보정을 위해 Re수에 따른 익형의 양력계수 변화만을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 당시 제안된 축소효과 보정기법을 익형의 양력계수 및 항력계수를 포함한 형태로 수정하였으며, 블레이드에 다수의 익형이 사용되었을 경우에 대해 확장하였다. NREL Phase VI 12% 시험모델의 경우 익형의 양력계수 기울기에 의한 보정량은 약 15% 정도이며, 항력계수 변화에 의한 보정량은 약 5% 정도로 나타났다. 블레이드에 다수의 익형이 사용되었을 경우 설계 또는 전산해석을 통해 구한 반경별 토크 함수를 적용하여 블레이드 축소효과를 보정할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 Dyson사의 Air multiplier의 Coanda surface각도에 따른 Air foil 주변의 2차원 유동을 분석하고 Surface각도가 유동에 미치는 영향에 대해 해석하였다. Air multiplier 단면의 작은 Slit을 통해 분류된 공기는 Venturi effect에 의해 가속되며 Coanda effect에 의해 단면을 따라 흐르며 압력차를 발생시켜 주변의 공기를 추가적으로 유입시킨다. EDISON CFD를 이용하여 Surface 각도에 따른 Air foil 주변의 유동을 구현하고 각도가 유동에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다. 또한 다른 논문에서 발췌한 실험값과 CFD 분석을 통해 얻은 값을 비교하여 CFD분석이 유효한지 확인하였다.
