The agitator is an important industrial instrument widely used for mixing various solutions in the industrial field. In this study, the optimized design of the helical ribbon type impeller, which is mainly used for the stirring of the high viscosity solution, is carried out by CFD analysis. For this purpose, an index for evaluating the agitation performance is newly defined and an optimization design process is performed through a multiphase computational fluid dynamic analysis. From these results, it is understood that the stirring performance is maximized in the case of the helical ribbon impeller under given operating conditions when the width is 7.5 mm, the height is 160 mm and the turn is 1.

상 변화(phase change)를 수반한 다상 유동 연구(multiphase flow analysis)는 증발, 응축과 같은 많은 분야에 적용, 응용될 수 있고 현상의 복잡성 때문에 많은 연구의 관심을 받고 있는 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 극저온 유체인 액화질소가 다양한 밀도의 글라스 울 내부 다공성 매질속으로 스며들면서 나타나는 거동을 살펴보았다. 유동에 영향을 미치는 투과성 계수에 대해서, 외부 압력의 영향성에 대한 실험을 진행하였고 논의하였다. 극저온 유체인 액화질소를 실험유체로 사용하여 사각 기둥 실린더 내부의 유체의 유동에 대한 실험으로 유체의 유동을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 벌크 밀도가 커짐에 따라 투과성 계수가 작아지고, 거리에 따른 압력변화의 비선형성이 커짐을 보였다. 마지막으로 CFD 전산유동 프로그램으로 실험결과와 동일한 상황을 모사하였으며, 이를 실험결과와 비교 분석하였다. 이에 대한 검증결과, 시뮬레이션 결과가 실험결과와 유사한 경향과 결과를 보여주었다.

In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube(throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. In the present study, the multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Two-dimensional geometry was considered with the quadrilateral-mashing scheme. The gas suction rate increases with increasing Motive flow circulating rate.

본 연구에서는 비정렬격자계와 체적포착법을 사용하여 표면장력이 지배적인 다상유동의 수치해석 방법을 제시하였다. 먼저 표면장력에 대한 CSF(Continuum Surface Force) 모델을 비정렬격자계에 적용할 수 있도록 수치해석 방법을 확립시켜 Myong(2009)이 개발한 비정렬격자계와 체적포착법을 사용한 수치 해석코드에 삽입하였다. 테스트 문제로 오직 표면장력만이 존재하는 평형상태의 정적(static) 액적 및 비평형상태의 동적(dynamic) 액적 문제에 적용하여, 이 해석방법의 유용성과 정확도를 평가하였다. 연구결과, 매끄러운 곡률 계산을 위해 필요한 필터로 본 연구에서 제안한 Laplacian 필터와 함께 CSF 모델로는 밀도보정(density-scaled)한 CSF 모델이 예측성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 표면장력 계산을 위한 이 모델을 채용한 본 수치해석방법은 표면장력이 지배적인 다상유동인 평형상태의 정적 액적 및 비평형상태의 동적 액적 문제 모두에 대해 정확성과 유용성이 입증되었다.

The plate-type fuel assembly adopted in nuclear research reactor suffers from complicated effect induced by non-uniform irradiation, which might affect its stress conditions, mechanical behavior and thermal-hydraulic performance. A reliable numerical method is of great importance to reveal the complex evolution of mechanical deformation, flow redistribution and temperature field for the plate-type fuel assembly under non-uniform irradiation. This paper is the first part of a two-part study developing the numerical methodology for the thermal-fluid-structure coupling behaviors of plate-type fuel assembly under irradiation. In this paper, the thermal-fluid-structure coupling methodology has been developed for plate-type fuel assembly under non-uniform irradiation condition by exchanging thermal-hydraulic and mechanical deformation parameters between Finite Element Model (FEM) software and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software with Mesh-based parallel Code Coupling Interface (MpCCI), which has been validated with experimental results. Based on the established methodology, the effects of non-uniform irradiation and fluid were discussed, which demonstrated that the maximum mechanical deformation with irradiation was dozens of times larger than that without irradiation and the hydraulic load on fuel plates due to differential pressure played a dominant role in the mechanical deformation.

A Computational Fluid Dynamics model is presented in this study for the simulation of the complex fluid flows with free surfaces inside the Tuned Liquid Column Dampers in horizontal motion. The characteristics of the fluid model of the TLCD in horizontal motion include the free surface of the multiphase flow and the horizontal moving frame. In this study, the time depend unsteady Standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model based on Navier-Stokes equations is chosen. The volume of fluid (VOF) method and sliding mesh technique are adopted to track the free surface of water inside the vertical columns of TLCD and treat the moving boundary of the walls of TLCD in horizontal motion. Several model solution parameters comprising different time steps, mesh sizes, convergence criteria and discretization schemes are examined to establish model parametric independency results. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data in the dimensionless amplitude of the water column in four different configured groups of TLCDs with four different orifice areas. The predicted natural frequencies and the head loss coefficient of TLCDs from CFD model are also compared with the experimental data. The predicted numerical results agree well with the available experimental data.

In this study, a newly enhanced Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) model which incorporates mooring lines was used to simulate a floating structure. The model has two parts: a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model and a mooring model. The open-source CFD OpenFOAM® v1712 toolbox was used in the present study, and the convergence criteria and relaxation method were added to the computational procedure used for the OpenFOAM multiphase flow solver, interDyMFoam. A newly enhanced, tightly coupled solver, CoupledinterDyMFoam, was used to decrease the artificial added mass effect, and the results were validated through a series of benchmark cases. The mooring model, based on the finite element method, was established in MATLAB® and was validated against a benchmark analytical elastic catenary solution and numerical results. Finally, a model which simulates a floating structure with mooring lines was successfully constructed by connecting the mooring model to CoupledinterDyMFoam.

본 논문은 기체-액체 이젝터의 수치해석연구에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이젝터는 구동유체가 노즐을 통해 고속으로 분출될 때, 구동노즐 출구 주변에 진공압이 형성되어 주변의 기체와 운동량 교환을 통하여 저압의 유체를 보다 높은 압력으로 압축하여 수송하는 장치이다. 기체-액체 이젝터는 상용 소프트웨어 ANSYS-CFX 14.0을 사용하여 다상의 CFD 분석을 통해 연구한다. 구동유체는 물을 사용하여 구동되며, 실제로는 공기가 아닌 오존을 사용하여 배출 된다. 기체-액체 이젝터의 디퓨저의 형상에 따라 성능 차이를 비교한다. 결과 기체-액체 이젝터의 성능에 미치는 다양한 요인을 제공 한다. 그리고 제안 된 수치 모델은 기체-액체 이젝터의의 최적 설계에 매우 도움이 될 것다.

Algae boom (Red tide) in south coastal area of Korea has been appeared several times during a decade. If algae boom appears in the desalination plant, media filter and UF filter are clogged quickly, and the plant should be shutdown. In general, Algae can be removed from water by flotation better than by sedimentation, because of the low density of algal cell. The purpose of this study conducts the CFD simulation of DAF flotation basin to apply the design of the dissolved air flotation with ball filter in the Test Bed for SWRO desalination plant. In this study, Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model was applied to simulate the behavior of air bubbles and seawater. Density difference model and gravity were used. But de-sludge process and mass transfer between air bubbles and seawater were ignored. Main parameter is hydraulic loading rate which is varied from 20 m/hr to 27.5 m/hr. Geometry of flotation basin were changed to improve the DAF performance. According to the result of this study, the increase of hydraulic loading rate causes that the flow in the separation basin is widely affected and the concentration of air is increased. The flow pattern in the contact zone of flotation basin is greatly affected by the location of nozzle header. When the nozzle header was installed not the bottom of the contact zone but the above, the opportunity of contact between influent and recycle flow was increased.
