In this paper, we propose a real-time interaction method using user's mouth wind in mobile device. In mobile and virtual reality, user interaction technology is important, but various user interface methods is still lacking. Most of the interaction technologies are hand touch screen touch or motion recognition. In this study, we propose an interface technology that can interact with real time using user's mouth wind. The direction of the wind is determined by using the angle and the position between the user and the mobile device, and the size of the wind is calculated by using the magnitude of user's mouth wind. To show the superiority of the proposed technique, we show the result of visualizing the flow of the vector field in real time by integrating the mouth-wind interface into the Navier-Stokes equations. We show the results of the paper on mobile devices, but can be applied in the Agumented reality(AR) and Virtual reality(VR) fields requiring interface technology.

A numerical investigation was performed based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations for the two-dimensional unsteady flow around a vertical axis turbine(VAT) with three or four blades. VAT is one of the promising devices for tidal current energy conversion. The geometry of the turbine blade was $NACA65_3$-018 airfoil, for which CFD analysis using Fluent was carried out at several angles of attack and the results were compared with the corresponding experimental data for validation and calibration. Then CFD simulations were carried out for the whole vertical axis turbine with a two-dimensional setup. The CFD simulation demonstrated the usefulness of the method to study the typical unsteady flows around VATs and the results showed that the optimum turbine efficiency could be achieved for carefully selected combinations of the number of blade and Tip-Speed Ratio(TSR).

This study presents numerical solutions of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for supersonic unsteady flow in a convergent-divergent nozzle with a isolator. The TVD scheme in generalized coordinates is employed in order to calculate the moving shock waves caused by thermal choking. We discuss on transient characteristics, unstart phenomena, fluctuations of specific thrust caused by thermal choking and effects of isolator. The adverse pressure gradient caused by heat addition brings about separation of the wall boundary layers and formation of the oblique shock wave that proceed to upstream. The proceeding speed of the oblique shock wave to upstream direction for the convergent-divergent nozzle with isolator is lower than that for the nozzle without isolator.

The effect of placing a worktable in a vertical laminar flow clean room is invesgiated by a numerical simulation. The model clean room is assumed to be a rectangular square of 2m*2m, in which a worktable of 0.8m long and 0.1m thick is located at 0.7m above the floor. Major parameters are the horizontal position of the table and the inlet flow velocity. The flow is assumed to be laminar throughout the clean room. Navier-Stokes equations with the pressure terms are directly solved by the SIMPLE algorithm. Boundary conditions at the two exits are given in terms of pressure conditions. The flow pattern, pressure loss due to viscous friction, the ratio of flow rates through each exit and pressure imbalance at the exits are calculated. All of the flow characteristics are seen to vary substantially with the location of the table, but are quite insensitive to the inlet flow velocity(Reynolds number). As an example, the flow rate through each exit can very by as much as 30% depending on the location of the table.

Turbulent flows around two-dimensional vehicle-like bodies in ground proximity are numerically simulated. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a k-.epsilon. turbulence model are numercally solved, and a body-fitted coordinate system is used. It is shown that the simulation is acceptable in comparison with limitted data measured in the wind-tunnel. According to numerical simulations, drag coefficients are under-estimated and lift coefficients are over-estimated during the model test in the wind-tunnel if the ground is fixed. Such ground effects are reduced as Reynolds number is increased. Reducing the gap between the vehicle and the ground make drag coefficients smaller and lift coefficients larger. The changes in static pressure distributions on the bottom and the rear surface play dominent roles in determination of the drag and the lift of the body in ground proximity. Drag component less than 10% of the total amount is contributed by skin-frictions. When the slant-angle of the body is reduced, the drag shows its minimum value and the lift shows its maximum value at about 22 degree.

For study on the unsteady wall interference effect, flows around a circular cylinder in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The computed results showed that the unsteady pressure gradient over the cylinder is enhanced by the wall interference, and as a result the fluctuations of lift and drag are augmented. The drag is further increased because of the lower base pressure. The vortex shedding frequency is also increased by the wall interference. The pressure on the test section wall shows the harmonics having the shedding frequency contained in the wall effect.

저수지나 하천 사면에서 발생하는 산사태와 토석류는 저수지와 하천 수체에 충격을 가한다. 이로 인해 발생하는 수면 충격파는 전파되어 반대편 제방으로 파의 처오름 또는 댐 제체위로의 물넘이로 큰 피해를 줄 수 있다. 최근 외국에서는 2차원 충격파 생성 및 전파의 기본 과정을 구명하기 위한 실험적 연구가 이뤄지고 있으며, 이들 연구들은 충격파의 발생과 전파, 사면활동 물질과 수체의 상호작용 그리고 자유 수면과 유속분표의 발달에 대한 자세한 관측 자료를 제시하고 있다. 아울러 충격파에 영향을 주는 지배 매개변수를 제시하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 실험적 연구의 최근 진보에도 불구하고, 이들 지배 매개변수를 고려한 충격파 지배공식들은 대상 지역의 복잡한 바닥 지형이나, 평면적 지형 변화를 단순한 추정치로만 고려하게 된다. 따라서 복잡한 지형조건에서 토석류와 수체의 상호작용과 수면 충격파의 전파를 합리적으로 해석하는 데는 한계가 있다. 이 경우 수치모델링 기법을 대안으로 적용할 수 있으나, 수치모델링은 수면에서 충격파의 전파와 수중에서 토석류의 전파를 동시에 모의해야 하고, 뉴턴 유체와 비뉴턴 유체의 특성을 동시에 고려해야하므로 수치해석 연구자들에게는 하나의 큰 도전사항이다. 이 연구는 경계면 포착기법을 이용한 계산유체동력학 기법을 이용하여 사면활동과 이로 인한 정지 수역에서의 충격파의 발생 및 전파를 재현하기 위한 수치 모델링 기법을 개발하는 것이 목적이다. 사면활동과 수면의 경계면을 포착하고 위치를 정립하기 위해서 VOF (volume of fluid) 경계면 재구축 기법을 이용한다. 지배 방정식은 비압축성(incompressible) 질량 보존방정식과 나비어-스톡스(Navier-Stokes) 방정식이며, 서로 다른 유체의 상(phase)애 대한 체적분할이송방정식을 이용한다. 큰와 모의 계열의 난류 모델링 기법을 적용하여 충격파의 전파와 붕괴에 대한 난류의 영향을 고려하였다. 토석류는 비뉴턴 흐름저항 관계식을 적용하여 그 흐름특성을 재현하였다. 이들 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한체적법(finite volume method)을 이용하여 해석한다. 외국의 연구자들이 관측하여 제시한 길이 11 m 그리고 폭 0.5 m의 수로에서 발생한 충격파를 수치적으로 재현하여 개발된 모형의 실제 문제에 대한 적용성을 보여준다.

수리모형실험은 수로 내에서 장시간 파랑을 발생시킬 경우, 수로 내에 반사 파랑의 성분이 누적될 수 있어 상당한 계측 오차를 발생시킬 우려가 있어 수리모형실험 결과의 검증이 필요하다. 일반적으로 수리모형실험 결과의 검증을 위해서는 동일 실험을 무수히 반복하여 불확실성을 제거하거나 다양한 수리실험실에서 수리모형실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석하여 불확실성을 제거할 수 있다. 그러나 이는 엄청난 시간과 노력은 물론 막대한 실험비용이 소요되기 때문에 경제적으로 효용성이 매우 낮아 현실적으로 수행이 어렵다. 이에 비해 수치모형실험은 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 수행할 수 있으며, 다수의 실험을 수행하지 않아도 불확실성을 제거할 수 있어 수리모형실험의 검증에 효율적이다. 일반적으로 난류 거동을 동반하는 복잡한 구조물 주변의 흐름 해석에는 3차원 CFD 모형이 필요하다. 특히, 병렬연산이 가능한 CFD 모형을 활용하면 수리모형실험에서도 재현이 쉽지 않은 다양한 조건에 따른 복잡한 흐름을 해석할 수 있어 효용성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 그러나 복잡한 구조물이 존재하게 되면 구조물에 재현에 막대한 격자구조가 필요하여 현실적으로 적용이 쉽지 않다. 이에 대한 대안으로 복잡한 구조물을 비교적 큰 격자에서 재현할 수 있는 가상경계법을 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가상경계법은 Navier-Stokes 방정식에서 유체 내에 존재하는 고체를 모멘텀 이론으로 대체하여 고려하는 기법으로 수치모델링 수행 시 매질을 유체만으로 구성할 수 있어 안정적으로 적용할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 과업에서는 다양한 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있는 3차원 CFD 모형인 OpenFOAM®기반으로 파랑해석에 필요한 경계조건을 계산할 수 있는 olaFlow를 활용하여 복잡한 구조물을 지나는 파랑해석을 수행하기 위해 가상경계법을 olaFlow에 도입한 수치 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발한 수치알고리즘을 활용하여 복잡한 구조를 수치모델에서 재현하였으며, 수치모델에 적용된 수치 알고리즘의 안정성에 대해 고찰하였다.

Various types of flow conditions are developed in the region just downstream of hydraulic structures such as weir and drop structures. One of distinct flow conditions occurred downstream of drop structures is the wave type flow with undular hydraulic jump formation. We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of a wave type flow formed downstream of a stepped weir which were experimentally investigated by Kang et al. (2010). The turbulent flow over the weir structure is modeling using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulation employing the Spalart-Allmaras one equation model and the detached eddy simulation. Numerical modeling and the performance of turbulence modeling approaches are evaluated by comparing with the experimental measurements in terms of the free surface variation, the shapes and sizes of undular wave, roller near at free surface, recirculation zone near the channel bottom downstream of the structures, and streamwise velocity profiles at selected longitudinal locations.

Marine accidents involving fishing boats, caused by a loss of stability, have been increasing over the last decade. One of the main reasons for these accidents is a sudden wind attacks. In this regard, the wind loads acting on the ship hull need to be estimated accurately for safety assessments of the motion and maneuverability of the ship. Therefore, this study aims to develop a computational model for the inlet boundary condition and to numerically estimate the wind load acting on a fishing boat. In particular, wind loads acting on a fishing boat at the wind speed profile boundary condition were compared with the numerical results obtained under uniform wind speed. The wind loads were estimated at intervals of 15° over the range of 0° to 180°, and i.e., a total of 13 cases. Furthermore, a numerical mesh model was developed based on the results of the mesh dependency test. The numerical analysis was performed using the RANS-based commercial solver STAR-CCM+ (ver. 13.06) with the k-ω turbulent model in the steady state. The wind loads for surge, sway, and heave motions were reduced by 39.5 %, 41.6 %, and 46.1 % and roll, pitch, and yaw motions were 48.2 %, 50.6 %, and 36.5 %, respectively, as compared with the values under uniform wind speed. It was confirmed that the developed inlet boundary condition describing the wind speed gradient with respect to height features higher accuracy than the boundary condition of uniform wind speed. The insights obtained in this study can be useful for the development of a numerical computation method for ships.
