This work presents a numerical analysis of two-phase natural circulation flow in reactor cavity under external vessel cooling. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for multiphase flows with zero equation turbulence model are solved to predict the shear key effect on the circulation rate of cooling water and the distribution of void fraction according to the different mass flow of inlet air. Results show that shear key has a positive effect on the circulation rate of cooling water and induce a local increase of void fraction below the shear key, but not remarkably.

An experiment on bubble-driven flow was performed in order to understand fundamental knowledge of flow structure around a rising bubble in a stagnant fluid. The measurement technique consists of a combination of the three most often used PIV techniques in multiphase flows: PIV with fluorescent tracer particles, the digital phase separation with a masking technique and a shadowgraphy. The key point of the measurement is that the background intensity of a PIV recording can be shifted to a higher level than a bubble region using a shadowgraphy in order to distinguish from fluorescent particles and a bubble as well. Flow fields were measured without an inaccurate analysis around a fluid-bubble interface by using only one camera simply.

Micro hydropower is a readily available renewable energy source that can be harvested utilizing hydrokinetic turbines from shallow water canals, irrigation and industrial channel flows, and run-off river stream flows. These sources generally have low head (<1 m) and low velocity which makes it difficult to harvest energy using conventional turbines. A horizontal-axis screw turbine was designed and numerically tested to extract power from such low-head water sources. The 3-bladed screw-type turbine is placed horizontally perpendicular to the incoming flow, partially submerged in a narrow water channel at no-head condition. The turbine hydraulic performances were studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics models. Turbine design parameters such as the shroud diameter, the hub-to-shroud ratios, and the submerged depths were obtained through a steady-state parametric study. The resulting turbine configuration was then tested by solving the unsteady multiphase free-surface equations mimicking an actual open channel flow scenario. The turbine performance in the shallow channel were studied for various Tip Speed Ratios (TSR). The highest power coefficient was obtained at a TSR of 0.3. The turbine was then scaled-up to test its performance on a real site condition at a head of 0.3 m. The highest power coefficient obtained was 0.18. Several losses were observed in the 3-bladed turbine design and to minimize losses, the number of blades were increased to five. The power coefficient improved by 236% for a 5-bladed screw turbine. The fluid losses were minimized by increasing the blade surface area submerged in water. The turbine performance was increased by 74.4% after dipping the turbine to a bottom wall clearance of 30 cm from 60 cm. The final output of the novel horizontal-axis screw turbine showed a 2.83 kW power output at a power coefficient of 0.63. The turbine is expected to produce 18,744 kWh/year of electricity. The design feasibility test of the turbine showed promising results to harvest energy from small hydropower sources.

최근에는 다양한 다상오염물 거동 흐름 모델들이 개발되었고 일부는 상용화되기도 하였으나, 대부분이 압력기저접근방식을 갖고 개발된 프로그램들이므로 다양한 수치적 어려움을 내재하고 있다. 이러한 수치적 어려움을 극복하기 위해서는 분율흐름접근방식을 따르는 기존 다상흐름거동 수치모델로 개발된 MultiPhaSe flow (MPS) 모델에 계면활성제에 의한 용해 현상을 모사할 수 있는 오염물 거동 모듈을 결합해서 MultiPhaSe flow and TranSport (MPSTS) 프로그램을 본 연구에서 개발하였다. 개발된 모델은 Clement의 해석 해를 사용하여 검증하였다. 여기서 MPSTS프로그램은 입자추적법과 결합한 라그랑지안-율러리안 기법을 이용해서 상간물질전달 효과와 다상내 오염물 거동 기능을 결합한 계면활성제 활용 복원과정을 모사할 수 있는 프로그램이다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 모델을 이용해서 소수성 액체(non aqueous phase liquid, NAPL)로 오염된 지역의 계면활성제에 의한 오염 정화 시 층상구조를 가지는 수리지질학적 불 균질성이 복원효율에 미치는 영향을 수치 모의 하였다. 수치모의 결과, 하부 층의 수리전도도가 상부 층의 수리전도도보다 10배, 20배, 50배로 큰 경우에 대해서 하부에서 물속에 용해된 디젤의 농도가 높게 나타난다. 왜냐하면 계면활성제가 하부 층을 따라서 좀 더 빨리 움직여서 하부 층에서 잔류 소수성 액체를 좀 더 많이 용해시켰기 때문이다.

호수, 저수지, 만 등의 사면에서 발생하는 산사태 및 토석류에 의해 유발되는 수면충격파의 전파는 복잡한 지형 조건에서 토석류와 물 흐름이 상호작용하는 3차원 자연현상이다. 이 연구에서는 3차원 다상 난류 흐름 해석을 위한 수치모형과 비뉴튼 유체인 토석류에 대한 유변학적 모형을 적용하여 만의 사면에서 발생한 산사태로 인한 수면충격파의 거동을 수치모의하였다. 수치해석 결과를 타 연구자의 수리실험 자료와 비교 분석하여 3차원 수치모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 수면으로 유입되는 토석류의 선단부 두께와 유속이 적절히 모의 된다면, 수면충격파의 정점부가 솟구치는 높이와 수면형은 매우 우수한 정확도로 예측이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 토석류의 초기 형상을 다르게 설정한 두 가지 수치해석 결과는 연직상향으로 솟구친 수면충격파가 최고점에 도달한 후 중력에 의해 하강하면서 감쇄되는 단계에서부터 상이해지는 것으로 나타났다. 토석류 초기 두께를 상대적으로 크게 설정한 수치모의 결과는 만을 가로지르는 수면형과 함께 반대편 사면에서의 쳐오름 현상까지 양호하게 실험자료를 재현할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반대편 사면에 도달한 수면충격파가 사면을 거슬러 흐르는 최고 쳐오름 높이는 토석류 총량이 같은 경우 수면으로 유입되는 토석류의 초기 두께에 민감하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 수로 바닥을 따라 전파되는 토석류의 전파 특성을 더 정확하게 재현하기 위해서는 실험에서 점토 성분이 없는 입자만을 이용하여 재현한 토석류 물질 특성에 맞는 유변학적 모형을 적용할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.

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.

The objective of this work is not only to perform feasibility studies on the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis for the capillary system design but also to provide an enhanced understanding of the autonomous capillary flow. The capillary flow is evaluated by means of the commercial CFD software of FLUENT, which includes the VOF (volume-of-fluid) model for multiphase flow analysis. The effect of wall adhesion at fluid interfaces in contact with rigid boundaries is considered in terms of static contact angle. Feasibility studies are first performed, including mesh-resolution influence on pressure profile, which has a sudden increase at the liquid/gas interface. Then we perform both 2D and 3D simulations and examine the transient nature of the capillary flow. Analytical solutions are also derived for simple cases and compared with numerical results. Through this work, essential information on the capillary system design is brought out. Our efforts and initial success in numerical description of the microfluidic capillary flows enhance the fundamental understanding of the autonomous capillary flow and will eventually pave the road for full-scale, computer-aided design of microfluidic networks.

The droplet ejection process driven by an evaporating bubble in a thermal inkjet printhead is investigated by numerically solving the conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy. The phase interfaces are tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effect of phase change at the interface and extended for multiphase flows with irregular solid boundaries. The compressibility effect of a bubble is also included in the analysis to appropriately describe the bubble expansion behaviour associated with the high pressure caused by bubble nucleation. The whole process of bubble growth and collapse as well as droplet ejection during thermal inkjet printing is simulated without employing a simplified semi-empirical bubble growth model. Based on the numerical results, the jet breaking and droplet formation behaviour is observed to depend strongly on the bubble growth and collapse pattern. Also, the effects of liquid viscosity, surface tension and nozzle geometry are quantified from the calculated bubble growth rate and ink droplet ejection distance.

Recent progress in the computational fluid dynamics methods of two- and multiphase phase flows has already started opening up new exciting possibilities for using complete multidimensional models to simulate boiling systems. Combining this new theoretical and computational approach with novel experimental methods should dramatically improve both our understanding of the physics of boiling and the predictive capabilities of models at various scale levels. However, for the multidimensional modeling framework to become an effective predictive tool, it must be complemented with accurate mechanistic closure laws of local boiling mechanisms. Boiling heat transfer has been studied quite extensively before. However, it turns out that the prevailing approach to the analysis of experimental data for both pool boiling and forced-convection boiling has been associated with formulating correlations which normally included several adjustable coefficients rather than based on first principle models of the underlying physical phenomena. One reason for this has been the tendency (driven by practical applications and industrial needs) to formulate single expressions which encompass a broad range of conditions and fluids. This, in turn, makes it difficult to identify various specific factors which can be independently modeled for different situations. The objective of this paper is to present a mechanistic modeling concept for both pool boiling and forced-convection boiling. The proposed approach is based on theoretical first-principle concepts, and uses a minimal number of coefficients which require calibration against experimental data. The proposed models have been validated against experimental data for water and parametrically tested. Model predictions are shown for a broad range of conditions.
