The modeling for turbulent flow through a porous media has not been confirmed because of a undetermined constant which appears in the governing equations. In present study, the turbulent porous modeling based on the local thermal equilibrium has been extended to the turbulent clear flow. A undetermined constant is also suggested by microscopic analysis. The microscopic analysis is performed in the flat tube with micro-channels, and it confirms that the undetermined constant is 0.99. It is shown that the results of the macroscopic analysis using confirmed constant agree well with those of the microscopic analysis with a maximum error of 3.5%.

Numerical analysis on a parallel flow heat exchanger(PFHE) is performed using 2 dimensional turbulent porous modeling. This modeling can consider three-dimensional configuration of passage (flat tube with micro-channels), and the stability and accuracy of numerical results are improved. The geometrical parameters(e.g., the position of separators, inlet/outlet, and porosity of passages of a PFHE) are varied in order to examine the flow and thermal characteristics and flow distribution of the single phase multiple passages system. The flow non-uniformities along the paths of the PFHE are observed to evaluate the thermal performance of the heat exchanger. The location of inlet affects the heat transfer, and the location of outlet affects the pressure drop. The porosity with the optimum thermal performance is around 0.53.

본 연구의 목적은 수분회수 냉각탑에 설치된 엇갈림(staggered) 형태로 배치된 중공사막 모듈을 다공성 매질(porous medium)로 모델링 시 유동특성을 수치 해석적으로 검토하는 것이다. 1단으로 설치된 중공사막 모듈의 차압 데이터를 이용하여 다공성 매질의 모델링을 위한 압력-속도 2차 식을 도출하였다. 중공사막 모듈을 다공성 매질로 모델링한 경우 ("다공성 매질")와 중공사막 모듈의 형상을 그대로 고려한 경우 ("멤브레인 모듈")에 대해 유동 특성을 비교하였다. "다공성 매질"의 경우 "멤브레인 모듈"에 비해 유동에 의한 압력 변화는 0.6 % 미만의 적은 차이를 나타냈으나, 최대 유속은 약 2.5배, 평균 난류 운동에너지는 95배로 크게 나타났다. 이를 통해 다공성 매질로의 모델링은 압력강하는 잘 구현하나, 유속 및 난류 운동에너지는 잘 모사하지 못함을 알 수 있었다.

Configuration of the inlet transition square duct (hereinafter referred to as "transition duct") for heat recovery steam generator (hereinafter referred to as "HRSG") in combined cycle power plant is limited by the construction type of HRSG and plant site condition. The main purpose of the present study is to analyze the effect of a variation in turbulent flow pattern by roof slop angle change of transition duct for horizontal HRSG, which is influencing heat flux in heat transfer structure to the finned tube bank. In this study, a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is applied to predict turbulent flow pattern and comparisons are made to 1/12th scale cold model test data for verification. Re-normalization group theory (RNG) based k-$\epsilon$ turbulent model, which improves the accuracy for rapidly strained flow and swirling flow in comparison with standard k-$\epsilon$ model, is used for the results cited in this study. To reduce the amount of computer resources required for modeling the finned tube bank, a porous media model is used.

본 연구에서는 복합화력발전소 가스터빈 출구가스 안내덕트 내부의 가스유동장이 배열회수보일러 전열기구에 미치는 영향을 CFD기법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 안내덕트 내부 난류흐름의 경우, 유속의 편차가 크고 선회 효과 및 상승류 현상이 심한 특징을 가지고 있음으로 이와 같은 유동의 수치해석을 위해 2개 방정식 난류점성 모델 중 RNG k-${\epsilon}$ 모델을 사용하였으며 유동장의 영향을 가장 많이 받는 배열 회수보일러 최종과열기관의 열전달특성변화를 파악하기 위하여 NTU 방식을 이용한 수치해석결과와, 산업계에서 적용하는 설계기법에 의한 결과를 비교하였다.

The effects of internal manifold designs the reactant feed-stream in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) is studied to figure out mass flow-distribution patterns over an entire fuel cell stack domain. Reactants flows are modeled either laminar or turbulent depending on regions and the open channels in the bipolar plates are simulated by porous media where permeability should be pre-determined for computational analysis. In this work, numerical models for reactant feed-stream in the PEFC manifolds are classified into two major flow patterns: Z-shape and U-shape. Several types of manifold geometries are analyzed to find the optimal manifold configurations. The effect of heat generation in PEFC on the flow distribution is also investigated applying a simplified heat transfer model in the stack level (i.e. multi-cell electrochemical power-generation unit). This modeling technique is well suited for many large scale problems and this scheme can be used not only to account for the manifold flow pattern but also to obtain information on the optimal design and operation of a PEMC system.

Effective pesticide applications are needed to assure the quality and economic competitiveness of fruit production and lower the risk of spray drift. Experimental studies have shown that better spray coverage and less driftability require an understanding of the transport of spray droplets within turbulent airflows in the orchard and the interaction between droplet dynamics and tree canopies. This study developed a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to predict pesticide flows in the orchard and spray drift discharged from an air-assisted orchard sprayer. The model represented the transport of spray droplets as well as droplets captured by tree canopies, which were modeled as a conical porous model and branched tree model. Validation of the CFD model was accomplished by comparing the CFD results with field measurements. Spray depositions inside tree canopies and at off-target locations were in good agreement with the measurements. The resulting data presented that 38.6%~42.3% of the sprayed droplets were delivered to the tree canopies while 13.6%~20.1% were drifted out of the orchard, part of them reached farther than 200 m from the orchard. The study demonstrates that CFD model can be used to evaluate spray application performance and spray drift potential.

원자로 노심 입구에 위치한 내부 구조물들은 형상 및 노심 입구까지의 상대적 거리에 따라 노심 입구 유량분포에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 원자로 내부 구조물 형상 처리 방법이 축소 APR+ 유동분포 예측 정확도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 상용 전산유체역학 소프트웨어인 ANSYS CFX R.14를 사용하여 원자로 내부 구조물들의 실제 형상을 고려한 계산을 수행하였고 다공성 매질 가정을 적용한 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 결론적으로 노심 입구 상류에 위치한 원자로 내부 구조물의 실제 형상을 고려함으로써 노심 입구 유량 분포를 더 정확하게 예측할 수 있었다. 따라서 충분한 계산 자원이 확보된 조건인 경우라면 정확한 노심 입구 유량분포를 계산하기 위해 노심 입구 상류에 위치한 원자로 내부 구조물들(예: 하부지지구조물 바닥판 및 노내 계측기 노즐 지지판)의 실제 형상을 고려해서 계산하는 것이 필요하다.
