This paper presents the flow characteristics in the fluid circulation loop using the tubular type linear induction motor(TLIM) electromagnetic pump. A TLIM of thrust 40[N] is analyzed using the equivalent and genetic algorithm for the system The flow characteristics are analyzed by coupling the Maxwell equations with the Navier-Stokes equation with the thrust. The analysis algorithm is developed for analyzing the liquid metal flow in the system for laminar and turbulent flow. And the effect of thrust is analyzed for the flow characteristics.

In the present work, flow characteristics analysis has been performed for steam turbine bypass control valve (single-path type). The numerical analysis is performed by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. Symmetry condition is applied at the mid plane of the valve while adiabatic condition is used at the outer wall of the cage. Grid independency test is performed to find the optimal number of grid points. The pressure and temperature distributions on the outer wall of the cage are analyzed. Mass flow rate at maximum plug opening condition is compared with the designed mass flow rate.

In this paper, a parametric study on ribs which are installed in an equilateral triangular internal cooling channel is presented. The numerical analysis of the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics is performed using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model. The numerical results are obtained at Reynolds number, 20,000. The parametric study is performed for the parameters, the angle of a rib, rib pitch-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, rib width-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, and rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio. The computational results are validated with the experimental data for area-averaged Nusselt number.

In order to improve cavitation characteristics for a high-speed propeller, leading edge shape of a 2-D hydrofoil is investigated numerically and experimentally. For flowfield analysis around the leading edge, the incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equation is solved using the standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model and a finite volume method(FVM). The cavitation thickness, which is occurred on hydrofoil surface, is predicted using the panel code. It is shown that the calculation codes predict the experimental trend fairly well. From these results, new hydrofoils are designed

In the present work, characteristics of the flow in the cage of a steam turbine bypass control valve for thermal power plant are investigated. Experimental measurement for wall static pressure has been carried out to validate numerical solutions. And, the flowfield is analyzed by solving steady three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. The effects of the flow area between stages of the cage on the pressure drop are also found.

비정상 유동 해석을 수행하는데 있어서 비정상 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 적용한 결과와 정상 N-S 지배 방정식을 적용한 결과의 차이를 비교하려한다. 적용하고자 하는 비정상 유동은 대칭형 에어포일 NACA0012 에어포일 주위 유동으로 정하였으며, 이 때 에어포일 시위(chord) 길이와 자유류(free stream) 속도 기준으로 Re=100,000에 해당한다. 계산결과 비정상 지배 방정식을 적용한 경우 비정상 유동박리(flow separation)를 모사 할 수 있었으며, 평균 양력계수($C_L$)와 항력계수($C_D$)는 실험치와 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 하지만 정상 N-S 방정식을 적용했을 경우 비정상 유동을 모사하기 어려웠으며 평균양력, 항력계수도 실험치와 차이를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 비정상 유동 해석시 시간에 따라 변화하는 유동의 특성을 고려해 비정상 N-S 지배 방정식을 적용해야한다는 사실을 보이고 있다.

In this study, aeroelastic performance analyses have been conducted for a 10MW class wind turbine blade model Advanced computational analysis system based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) has been developed in order to investigate detailed dynamic responsed of wind turbine blade Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with k-${\omega}$ SST turbulence model are solved for unsteady flow problems of the rotating turbine blade model. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method is used for computing the coupled aeroelastic governing equations of the 3D turbine blade for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems.

This work was undertaken for the numerical analysis of defrosting phenomena of automobile windshield. To analyze the defrost, the flow and temperature field of cabin interior, heat transfer through the windshield glass, and phase change of the frost should be analyzed simultaneously. The flow field was obtained by solving the 3-D unsteady Navier-Stokes equation and the temperature field was computed by energy equation. The phase-change process of Stefan problem was solved by enthalpy method. For code validation, the temperature field of the driven cavity was calculated. The result of calculation shows a good agreement with the other numerical results. Then, the present code was applied to the defrosting analysis of a real automobile and, also, a good agreement with experiment was obtained.

The characteristics of compressible flow are different from those of incompressible flow from the mathematical and physical point of view. Therefore, the way to solve the flowfield is different between compressible flow and incompressible flow. In general, density-based numerical algorithm is mainly used for compressible flow solver development. On the other hand, incompressible flow solver prefers to use pressure-based numerical algorithm. In this research, a compressible Navier-Stokes flow solver is developed by means of extending from pressure-based incompressible numerical algorithm to handle both compressible and incompressible flows using the same flow solver. The present flow solver is tested at various speed ranges and compared with the solutions of density-based compressible flow solver. Numerical results show a good agreement between two flow solvers.
