This paper presents a procedure for the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics of a sirocco fan. For the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analyses of the sirocco fan, three-dimensional steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a shear stress transport turbulence model for turbulence closure. The flow analyses were performed on a hexahedral grid using a finite-volume solver. The validation of the numerical results is performed by comparing with experimental data for the pressure, efficiency and power. The internal flow analyses of the sirocco fan are performed to understand the unstable flow phenomenon on the casing for the wall pressure and internal flow characteristics at each position. It was found that fluctuation of pressure and locally concentrated noise source are observed near the cut-off and expansion regions of the casing.

Axial-flow cyclone separator cluster can be used for a dust removal device inside a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning(HVAC) system of subway station. In this study, 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis was performed to compare single unit axial-flow cyclone with couple unit axial-flow cyclone cluster. It is shown that the performance of cyclone separator is not influenced by number of single units but influenced by ability of single unit.

Numerical predictions on flow phenomena in pipe network systems have been considered as playing an important role in both designing and operating various facilities of piping or duct systems, such as water supply, tunnel or mine ventilation, hydraulic systems of automobile or aircraft, and etc. Traditionally, coupling conditions between junction and connected branches are assumed to satisfy conservation law of mass and to share an equal pressure at junction node. However, the conventional methodology cannot reflect momentum interactions between pipes sufficiently. Thus, a new finite volume junction treatment is proposed both to reflect the interchanges of linear momentums between neighbor branches at junction and to include the effect of wall at junction in present work.

In cruise ships, it is inevitable to arrange the cabins near by the noisy areas, such as ventilation fan, HVAC machinery and funnel casing etc. The noise is propagated to the cabins by way of mount, foundation and deck. The transmitted noise to cabin is affected by mount and foundation structure. It is well-known that most of the structure-borne noise can be reduced by the flexible mount. However, when the foundation of machinery is designed inappropriately, it can make noise problems in cabins. In this paper, the effect of foundation on noise reduction is studied through the numerical analysis and mock up test. The dynamic performance of foundation is investigated from the viewpoint of the impedance and noise reduction in cabin.

This study is intended to evaluate and optimize the characteristics of smoke spreading and the appropriateness of evacuation time extended by operation of smoke control system during fire within the underground space of the building structured in compliance with the smoke control system performance criteria from the local fire safety standard, which has been currently applied to the buildings in Korea. Using the heat release per unit weight of the combustibles, a numerical analysis both in case of smoke control system in operation and the system not in operation was carried out at the several different shopping malls. From the viewpoint of securing the evacuation time, the results were compared in an attempt to assess the appropriateness of the fire safety criteria.

터널내에 설치되는 제트팬은 비상시에는 연기와 같은 유독가스를 제거하는데 사용되며 평상시에는 장대터널에 있어서 차량에 의해 발생한 오염공기를 제거하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 파량의 피스톤효과에 의해서 일부 제거되기는 하나 1km이상의 장대터널에서는 반드시 필요로 한다. 제트팬의 가장 많은 에너지 손실이 벽면에서 이루어지고 있으며 이를 통하여 터널내에 소실되는 에너지를 정량화하고 그원인 파악과 함께 효율적인 환기설계를 위한 연구이다.

This study is aimed to analyze the flow patterns and thermal characteristics by computer simulation under the variations of fire strength for Daegu-Pahang Yimgo-4th tunnel, from which flow and heat distributions are predicted in the longitudinal tunnel. Though the results of numerical computations, followings are found; one is that the volume flow rate is discontinuously increasing as closer to fire location, and the other is that a critical design to get faster flow rate is required because of existence of backlayer flow for the high fire strength in view of safety for the people in fire of the tunnel.

In the present study, the effect of horizontal vent position on fire phenomena in the enclosure with vertical and horizontal vents was examined using numerical simulation. Case 1 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is in the center of the ceiling. Case 3 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is far away from the vertical vent. Case 2 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is installed between Case 1 and Case 3. The temperature distribution, smoke layer temperature, velocity distribution, and mass flow rate of horizontal vent flow were analyzed. In Case 2, the temperatures were lowest and the mass flow rate through the horizontal vent was largest. This is because the flame is inclined by the inflow through the vertical vent. Hence, to determine the proper horizontal vent location for the high smoke ventilation performance, the inflow through the vertical vent and its effect on flame behavior should be considered.

The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) has been applied to simulate a full-scale pool fire in well-confined and mechanically ventilated multi-compartments representative of nuclear power plant. The predictive performance of FDS was evaluated through a comparison of the numerical data with experimental data obtained by the OECD/NEA PRISME project. To identify clearly the FDS results regarding to the user-dependence in the process of FDS implementation except for the intrinsic limitation of FDS such as simple combustion model, only the over-ventilated fire condition was chosen. In particular, the importance of accurate boundary conditions (B.C.) in mechanically ventilated system were discussed in details. It was known from FDS results that the B.C. on inlet and outlet vents did significantly affect the thermal and chemical characteristics inside the compartments. Finally, it was confirmed that the FDS imposed an accurate ventilation B.C. provided qualitatively good agreement with temperatures, heat fluxes and concentrations measured inside the nuclear-type multi-compartments.

푸쉬-풀 환기시스템은 도금조와 같이 흡인해야 할 거리가 상대적으로 긴 경우에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 창문이나 출입문을 통한 방해기류가 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 오염물질 제어효율을 심각하게 훼손시키고 있다고 추측하고 있으나 이에 대한 세부적인 연구가 부족한 상태에 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(Computational fluid dynamics)을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서의 방해기류의 방향과 세기가 흡인효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 평가해 보았다. 선형흡인효율(Linear capture efficiency) 방법을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서 가상의 개방조에서 발생한 오염물질이 푸쉬-풀 시스템에 의하여 포집되지 못하고 누출되는 구역이 어딘지를 찾아낼 수 있었다. 전산유체역학 컴퓨터시뮬레이션은 AIRPAK2.1 (FLUENT CODE) 소프트웨어를 사용하였다. 푸쉬-풀 후드시스템에 방해기류가 강하게 작용하면 상대적으로 강한 와류가 발생하는데, 일반적인 난류모델인 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$모델은 와류현상을 충분히 보여주지 못한 반면에 RNG 모델을 사용했을 때 실험결과를 적절히 모사해낼 수 있었다. RNG 모델을 이용하여 세가지 방향, 즉 푸쉬에서 풀 방향으로, 풀에서 푸쉬 방향으로 그리고 그에 수직되는 방향으로 방해기류가 있을 때의 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 흡인효율을 분석하였다. 방해기류가 0.25m/s이하일 때에는 흡인효율이 거의 떨어지지 않았으나, 방해기류가 0.6m/s에서 흡인효율이 40-70%로 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 방해기류를 감소시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서도 연구를 해야 되겠지만, 방해기류 존재 하에서 충분한 흡인 효율을 유지할 수 있는 푸쉬-풀 후드 설계기준에 대한 연구도 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
