Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a Lagrangian computational fluid dynamics method that has been widely used in the analysis of physical phenomena characterized by large deformation or multi-phase flow analysis, including free surface. Despite the recent implementation of eddy-viscosity models in SPH methodology, sophisticated turbulent analysis using Lagrangian methodology has been limited due to the lack of computational performance and numerical consistency. In this study, we implement the standard and dynamic Smagorinsky model and dynamic Vreman model as sub-particle scale models based on a weakly compressible SPH solver. The large eddy simulation method is numerically identical to the spatial discretization method of smoothed particle dynamics, enabling the intuitive implementation of the turbulence model. Furthermore, there is no additional filtering process required for physical variables since the sub-grid scale filtering is inherently processed in the kernel interpolation. We simulate lid-driven flow under transition and turbulent conditions as a benchmark. The simulation results show that the dynamic Vreman model produces consistent results with experimental and numerical research regarding Reynolds averaged physical quantities and flow structure. Spectral analysis also confirms that it is possible to analyze turbulent eddies with a smaller length scale using the dynamic Vreman model with the same particle size.

This paper focuses on the mesh-size dependency in numerical simulations of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to blast loading. A tensile failure criterion that can minimize the mesh-dependency of simulation results is introduced based on the fracture energy theory. In addition, conventional plasticity based damage models for concrete such as the CSC model and the HJC model, which are widely used for blast analyses of concrete structures, are compared with the orthotropic model that adopts the introduced tensile failure criterion in blast tests to verify the proposed criterion. The numerical predictions of the time-displacement relations at the mid-span of RC beams subjected to blast loading are compared with experimental results. The analytical results show that the numerical error according to the change in the finite element mesh size is substantially reduced and the accuracy of the numerical results is improved by applying a unique failure strain value determined by the proposed criterion.

A theoretical and numerical investigation on the boundary-layer flow over a two- or three-dimensional hill is presented. The numerical model is based on the finite volume method with boundary-fitted coordinates. The k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model with modified wall function and the low-Reynolds-number model are employed. The hypothesis of Reynolds number independency for the atmospheric boundary-layer flow over aerodynamically rough terrain is confirmed by the numerical simulation. Comparisons of the mean velocity profiles and surface pressure distributions between the numerical predictions and the wind-tunnel experiments on the flow over a hill show good agreement. The linear theory provides generally good prediction of speed-up characteristics for the gentle-sloped hills. The flow separation occurs in the hill slope of 0.5 and the measured reattachment points are compared with the numerical prediction. It is found that the k- $\varepsilon$ turbulence model is reasonably accurate in predicting the attached flow, while the low- Reynolds-number model is more suitable to simulate the separated flows.ows.

본 논문에서는 천해에 적용 가능한 동적결합형 태풍 해일-조석-파랑 수치모델의 개발과 개발된 모델의 정확성을 검증하였다. 태풍 해일과 조석 수치모델은 POM (Princeton Ocean Model)을 기반으로 하였으며, 풍파 파랑 수치모델은 WAM (Wave Model)을 기반으로 천해에 적용할 수 있도록 수정하여 두 모델을 동적으로 결합하였다. 연속된 두 개의 논문 중에 첫 번째 논문인 본 논문에서는 해일과 조석을 수치 모의하는 해수유동 부분의 수치모의의 안정성과 정확성을 검증하였다. 수치모의의 안정성과 정확성 향상을 위하여 기존의 POM 모델의 난류 수치모델 부분과 연직속도 계산 알고리즘을 수정 보완하였다. 수정된 POM 모델의 정확성과 수치적 안정성 검증을 위하여 해석해와 실 해역에서 측정된 관측결과와 비교하였으며, 수정된 POM 모델이 기존의 POM 모델보다 수치계산의 안정성과 정확성이 개선되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A virtual reality technology for multipurpose numerical simulation is developed to reproduce and investigate a variety of ocean environmental problems in a 3D Numerical Wave Tank(NWT). The governing equations for solving incompressible fluid motion are Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation. The Marker-Density function technique is adopted to implement the fully nonlinear freesurface kinematic condition. The marine environmental situations, i.e., waves, currents, etc., are reproduced by use of multi-segmented wavemakers on the basis of the so-called ″snake-principle″. In this paper, some numerical reproduction techniques for regular, and irregular waves, multi-directional waves, Bull's-eye wave. wave-current, and solitary wave are presented, and a model test in motion with large amplitude of roll angle is conducted in the developed 3D-NWT, using a overlaid grid system.

Despite extensive research efforts, the mechanism of the nucleate boiling phenomena is still not clear. A direct numerical simulation of the boiling phenomena is one of the promising approaches in order to clarify its heat transfer characteristics and discuss their mechanism. Therefore, many DNS procedures have been developed based on recent highly advancing computer technologies. This brief review focuses on the state of the art in direct numerical simulation of the pool boiling phenomena over the past two decades. In this review, the fundamentals of the boiling phenomena and the bubble departure and micro-layer models are briefly introduced, and then the numerical procedures for tracking or capturing interface/surface shape such as the front tracking method, level set method, volume of fluid treatments, and other methods (Lattice Boltzmann method, phase-field method and so on) are briefly reviewed.

A direct numerical simulation (DNS) was applied to nonpremixed counter-flow diffusion flames between oxidizer and fuel ducts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the numerical method for simulation of axisymmetric counterflow diffusion flames. Effects of computational domain size and grid size were scrutinized, and then the method was applied to air-methane diffusion flames. The results at zero gravity conditions were in good agreement with those obtained by the one-dimension flame code OPPDIF. It was confirmed thai the numerical method is applicable to the diffusion flames at the normal gravity conditions since the results clearly showed the effects of buoyancy and velocity ratio.

파랑하중하의 지반내 간극수압의 정확한 평가는 연안구조물에서 지반의 안정성을 검토하는데 중요한 요소이다. 파$\cdot$구조물 지반의 상호간섭에 대한 대부분의 기존 수치모델은 파동장과 지반부를 분리하여 해석하는 Hybrid기법을 적용하고 있기 때문에, 보다 고정도로 이들의 상호간섭을 모의하기 위해서는 파랑하중하에서 파$\cdot$구조물$\cdot$지반을 일체화한 수치모델의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 투과층의 다양한 기하학적인 형태에 따라 층류저항까지 고려한 모델화 된 유체저항을 도입하여 파 구조물 지반의 비선형동적응답을 해석하기 위한 직접수치해석기법을 새롭게 제안하였다 직접수치해석기법은 Hybrid기법과는 달리 유체와 다공질매체의 접합면에서 특별한 경계조건을 필요로 하지 않는다. 파$\cdot$구조물$\cdot$지반의 상호간섭에 대해 기존의 수리실험결과와 본 연구의 계산결과를 비교함으로써 좋은 일치성을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 새롭게 제안된 본 수치기법은 파 구조물 지반의 비선형동적응답을 평가하는 유용한 기법으로 판단된다.

A multidimensional numerical simulation for flows in an engine with axisymmetric geometry was performed. Three kinds of differencing schemes, namely, skew upwind differencing scheme (SUDS), interpolated upwind differencing scheme (IUDS), upwind differencing scheme (UDS), are used in a comparative study. Simultaneously, the effects of the artificial dampings and the grids on numerical results are estimated. Compared with the measurements, the calculations with SUDS and proper artificial damping show very similar qualitative tendency with observed results. But there are some discrepancies due to numerical errors and unclear boundary conditions.
