High-speed heavy loaded monohull ships can benefit from application of drag-reducing air cavities under stepped hull bottoms. The subject of this paper is the steady hydrodynamic modeling of semi-planing air-cavity hulls. The current method is based on a linearized potential-flow theory for surface flows. The mathematical model description and parametric calculation results for a selected configuration with pressurized and open air cavities are presented.

Flow-excited acoustic resonance in ducted cavities can produce high levels of acoustic pressure that may lead to severe damage. This occurs when the flow instability over the cavity mouth, which is created by the free shear layer separation at the upstream edge, is coupled with one of the acoustic modes in the accommodating enclosure. Acoustic resonance can cause high amplitude fluctuating acoustic loads in and near the cavity. Such acoustic loads could cause damage in sensitive applications such as aircraft weapon bays. Therefore, the suppression and mitigation of these resonances are very important. Much of the work done in the past focused on the fluid-dynamic oscillation mechanism or suppressing the resonance by altering the edge condition at the shear layer separation. However, the effect of the downstream edge has received much less attention. This paper considers the effect of the impingement edge geometry on the acoustic resonance excitation and Strouhal number values of the flow instabilities in a ducted shallow cavity with an aspect ratio of 1.0. Several edges, including chamfered edges with different angles and round edges with different radii, were investigated. In addition, some downstream edges that have never been studied before, such as saw-tooth edges, spanwise cylinders, higher and lower steps, and straight and delta spoilers, are investigated. The experiments are conducted in an open-loop wind tunnel that can generate flows with a Mach number up to 0.45. The study shows that when some edge geometries, such as lower steps, chamfered, round, and saw-tooth edges, are installed downstream, they demonstrate a promising reduction in the acoustic resonance. On the other hand, higher steps and straight spoilers resulted in intensifying the acoustic resonance. In addition, the effect of edge geometry on the Strouhal number is presented.

효과적인 초음속 연소를 위해 연료와 공기의 빠른 혼합이 필요하며, 혼합 향상을 위해 연료분사 방식에 대한 여러 연구들이 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 길이-깊이 비가 4.8, 후면 경사각이 $22.5^{\circ}$인 개방형 공동 모델을 사용하였으며, 마하수 1.92에서 운동량비에 따른 분사구 주변의 유동 특성 및 연소실 내 압력 분포를 슐리렌 가시화와 압력 측정을 사용하여 파악하였다. 운동량비는 연료의 침투거리와 분사지역의 유동에 큰 영향을 끼친다.

A numerical simulation is carried out mixed convection in horizontal channel with a heat source from below of rectangular cavity. Finite volume method was employed for the discretization and PISO algorithm was used for calculating pressure term. The parameters governing the problem are the Reynolds number ($10^{-2}{\leq}Re{\leq}50$), the Rayleigh number ($10^3{\leq}Ra{\leq}2.06{\times}10^5$), the Prandtl number ($0.72{\leq}Pr{\leq}909$), the aspect ratio ($0.5{\leq}AR=W/H{\leq}2$) and the angle of inclination ($0^{\circ}{\theta}60^{\circ}$). Mean Nusselt number distributions were obtained and effect of Reynolds number, Rayleigh number and Prandtl number on mixed convection in the horizontal channel with rectangular cavity were investigated.

A hull-form for a 32,000G/T class Ro-Pax ferry has developed in accordance with a need of ferry operators to reduce fuel oil consumption(FOC) due to the drastic increase in oil prices recently and strengthening of environmental rules and regulations such as CO2 emission. A twin-skeg type is applied as the hull-form in lieu of an open-shaft type in order to improve propulsion performance. In order to achieve this object, flow control devices are installed to reduce a propeller induced vibration which is a main reason to obstruct the application of twin-skeg type passenger vessels owing to an uncomfortable vibration level. Numerical simulation by using an in-house code and a commercial code (Fluent) has performed to find out an optimum design of the flow control devices and to check an improvement in cavity volume. Model tests in Samsung Ship Model Basin are carried out to evaluate propulsion performance with the developed twin-skeg type hull and a reference hull of open-shaft type. In conclusion, it is shown that the twin-skeg type hull is better than the open-shaft in FOC by around 7% and in cavity volume by 20% as well.

Modifying effects of the rectangular forward step for suppressing the unsteady pressure fluctuation during interaction between the upstream vortical flow and the edge are studied numerically. The vertical flow is modeled by a point vortex, and the unsteady pressure coefficient is obtained from the velocity and the potential fields. To investigate the effects of the edge shape the rectangular forward step is chamfered wish various angles. Calculation shows that the pressure peaks become decreased by increasing the vortex height as well as the chamfering angle. The pressure amplitudes are very sensitive to the change of the initial vertex height and its strength. From this study we can find out that the chamfered edge has two effects; the one is that it suppresses the pressure amplitude generated from the edge, and the other is that it decreases the time variation of unsteady pressure fluctuation. These modifying concepts can be applied to attenuate the self-sustained oscillation mechanism at the open cavity flow.

RANS 기반의 CFD 해석은 계산 효율성이 높아 실무 수리해석을 포함한 다양한 공학 분야에서 널리 적용되고 있으나 자유수면과 같이 이상유체흐름 해석에서 비물리적인 거동이 나타나는 문제가 오랫동안 제기되어 왔다. 일반적인 RANS 기반의 해석에서 적용되는 2 방정식 난류 모형은 단상유체를 대상으로 개발되어 유체 밀도의 급격한 변화가 발생하는 이상유체에서는 경계면에서 실제와 다른 높은 난류 에너지 생성을 모의한다. 최근 이를 해결하기 위해 개발된 방법 중의 하나인 부력 수정 난류 모형은 해안 분야에 적용되어 일부 적합성이 검증되었으나 개수로 흐름에 적용된 사례는 없다. 본 연구에서는 오픈 소스 프로그램인 OpenFoam의 VOF 기법을 기반으로 부력 수정 난류 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 등류 흐름 적용 결과에 의하면 부력 수정 k-𝜖 모형과 부력 수정 k-ω SST 모형이 자유수면 부근에서의 난류 에너지 저감 현상을 잘 모의함을 확인하였으며, 특히 부력 수정 k-ω SST 모형은 연직 유속 분포를 잘 모의함을 확인하였다. 또한 댐 붕괴 흐름에 적용하여 수면형의 변동이 크고 공동이 형성되는 경우에 대해 검토하였다. 모의 결과 부력 수정 난류 모형은 VOF 기법에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내며 실험결과와 다른 비물리적인 거동을 나타내었다. 부력 수정 난류 모형이 수면이 안정적인 형태인 경우에는 적용성이 있으나 자유 수면의 급격한 변화가 발생하는 경우에 범용적으로 적용하기에는 여전히 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 수면형이 급격하게 변화하거나 공동이 형성되는 흐름의 경우에는 난류 모형에 대한 적절한 보정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the performance of centrifugal pump with various air admitting conditions. Experiments on pump performance under air-water two-phase flow n accomplished using a centrifugal pump with semi-open type impeller having three, five and seven blades, respectively. Also, the numerical analysis of turbulent air-water two-phase flow using finite volume method has been carried out to obtain the pressure, velocities and void fraction on the basis of a so-called bubbly flow model with the constant size and shape of cavity. The results obtained through this study show the reasonable agreements within the range of bubbly flow regime. There are promising developments concerning application of the present study for the flow in a centrifugal pump with two-phase flow conditions and efforts must be followed to improve the turbulence model and two-phase flow model for turbomachinery.

When fluid at high speed flows over an open cavity, large acoustic pressure fields inside the cavity are produced by fluid/structure interactions at the downstream end of the cavity. The inter-coach spacing is one of the most important sources of the aero-acoustic noise of a high-speed train. This noise can usually be heard as low frequency structure-borne noise inside the train. In this study experiments were performed in order to investigate the effects of mud-flap length on the aeroacoustic noise generation inside high-speed trains. Results of the measurement confirmed that the characteristics of the noise generated from the inter-coach spacing are strongly dependent on the size of the gap. Also investigated are the characteristics of the turbulent flow after the inter-coach spacing and consequent generation of the aeroacoustic noise inside the cabin.
