To understand the role of helical geometry on the regression rate enhancement, two competing underlying mechanisms such as turbulence enhancement and swirling motion production were studied by numerical calculations. Experimental results showed that the enhancement of heat transfer rate has the very close relation to the increase in regression rate even though the percentage of increase in heat transfer rate is different from that in regression rate. This discrepancy is presumably due to the change of turbulent flow feature caused by so-called "blowing mass flux" from the fuel surface. In this regard, the results of RANS calculation show that the blowing velocity is responsible for the reduction of the swirl generation and the increase in the turbulent kinetic energy. And the dominancy of one of the mechanisms causes the increase in the regression rate. Meanwhile, the increase in turbulent kinetic energy due to the mixing of blowing flow and free stream flow does not contribute for the enhancement of the heat transfer rate to the surface because the blowing flow pushes boundary layer away from the solid surface.

The present work reports numerical results of the pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of pipes with various shapes such as circular, elliptical, circumferential wavy and twisted using a three-dimensional simulation. Numerical simulations are calculated for laminar to turbulent flows. The fully developed flow in pipes was modeled using steady incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The friction and Colburn factor of each pipe are compared with those of a circular tube. The overall flow and heat transfer calculations are evaluated by the volume and area goodness factor. Finally, the objective of the investigation is to find a pipe shape that decreases the pressure loss and increases the heat transfer coefficient.

This paper is a study on the generation mechanism of propeller singing based on the cavitation tunnel test, underwater impact test, finite element analysis and computational flow analysis for the model propeller. A wire screen mesh, a propeller and a rudder were installed to simulate ship stern flow, and occurrence and disappearance of propeller singing phenomenon were measured by hydrophone and accelerometer. The natural frequencies of propeller blades were predicted through finite element analysis and verified by contact and non-contact impact tests. The flow velocity and effective angle of attack for each section of the propeller blades were calculated using RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) equation-based computational fluid analysis. Using the high resolution analysis based on detached eddy simulation, the vortex shedding frequency calculation was performed. The numerical predicted vortex shedding frequency was confirmed to be consistent with the singing frequency and blade natural frequency measured by the model test.

An axisymmetric supersonic jet screech in the Mach number range from 1.07 to 1.2 is numerically simulated. The axisymmetric mode is the dominant screech mode for an axisymmetric jet. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the conjunction with a modified Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model are employed. A high resolution finite volume essentially non-oscillatory(ENO) schemes are used along with nonreflecting characteristic boundary conditions that are crucial to screech tone computations to accurately capture the sound waves, shock-cell structures and large-scale instability waves.

Marine accidents involving fishing boats, caused by a loss of stability, have been increasing over the last decade. One of the main reasons for these accidents is a sudden wind attacks. In this regard, the wind loads acting on the ship hull need to be estimated accurately for safety assessments of the motion and maneuverability of the ship. Therefore, this study aims to develop a computational model for the inlet boundary condition and to numerically estimate the wind load acting on a fishing boat. In particular, wind loads acting on a fishing boat at the wind speed profile boundary condition were compared with the numerical results obtained under uniform wind speed. The wind loads were estimated at intervals of 15° over the range of 0° to 180°, and i.e., a total of 13 cases. Furthermore, a numerical mesh model was developed based on the results of the mesh dependency test. The numerical analysis was performed using the RANS-based commercial solver STAR-CCM+ (ver. 13.06) with the k-ω turbulent model in the steady state. The wind loads for surge, sway, and heave motions were reduced by 39.5 %, 41.6 %, and 46.1 % and roll, pitch, and yaw motions were 48.2 %, 50.6 %, and 36.5 %, respectively, as compared with the values under uniform wind speed. It was confirmed that the developed inlet boundary condition describing the wind speed gradient with respect to height features higher accuracy than the boundary condition of uniform wind speed. The insights obtained in this study can be useful for the development of a numerical computation method for ships.

To analyze flow characteristics and performance of the side jet thruster with 4 shutters and rectangular nozzles, a 3-D simulation has been implemented. Numerical calculations for three rotation anlgles of the shutter, have been conducted. Internal recirculation in a chamber and asymmetric flow structure in a nozzle were observed. In addition, the more shutter rotated, the more asymmetries of flow increased, and this phenomena resulted in thrust bias. The degrees of thrust bias and thrust performance with the rotation angles of the shutter were predicted and comparisons with theoretical thrust were made.

This paper deals with the performance analysis and design of the Darrieus-type vertical axis turbine to evaluate the effect of key design parameters such as number of blade, blade chord, pitch and camber. The commercial CFD software FLUENT was employed as an unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver with k-e turbulent model. Grid system was modelled by GAMBIT. Basic numerical methodology of the present study is appeared in Jung et al. (2009). Two-dimensional analysis was mostly adopted to avoid the barrier of massive calculation required for parametric study. It was found that the highly efficient turbine model could be designed through the optimization of design parametrrs.

The analysis of aerodynamic characteristics for aircraft propellers is studied to develop high efficiency composite propellers. It is to verify the accuracy and reliability of predicting the efficiency characteristics of aircraft propellers by applying nonlinear numerical analysis. The numerical simulation method incorporated the CFD code, which is based on RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stocks) equation. The study includes a comparative analysis between the numerical simulation results and the wind tunnel test results of the full-scale aircraft propeller. The comparison shows that thrust and power coefficients of the propeller calculated by nonlinear numerical analysis are higher than those based on the results generated from the wind tunnel test. The efficiency of the propeller calculated by numerical analysis matches closely to the efficiency based on the wind tunnel test results. The verification results are analyzed, then, will be used in optimizing the design and manufacture of the subject aircraft propeller studied.
