In this study, the numerical investigation of ship motions and added resistance at constant forward velocity of KVLCC2 model is presented. Finite volume CFD code is used to calculate three dimensional, incompressible, unsteady RANS equations. Numerical computations show that reliable numerical results can be obtained in head waves. In the numerical analyses, body attached mesh method is used to simulate the ship motions. Free surface is simulated by using VOF method. The relationship between the turbulence viscosity and the velocities are obtained through the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The numerical results are examined in terms of ship resistance, ship motions and added resistance. The validation studies are carried out by comparing the present results obtained for the KVLCC2 hull from the literature. It is shown that, ship resistance, pitch and heave motions in regular head waves can be estimated accurately, although, added resistance can be predicted with some error.

In spite of progress in the numerical simulation of typhoon wind field in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), using typhoon wind field model in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation method can only accurately evaluate typhoon wind field over a general terrain. This method is not enough for a reliable evaluation of typhoon wind field over the actual complex terrain with surface roughness and topography variations. To predict typhoon wind field over the actual complex terrain in ABL, a hybrid numerical simulation method combined typhoon simulation used the typhoon wind field model proposed by Meng et al. (1995) and CFD simulation in which the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are used. Typhoon wind filed during typhoon Dujuan and Imbudo are simulated using the hybrid numerical simulation method, and compared with the results predicted by the typhoon wind field model and the wind field measurement data collected by Fugro Geotechnical Services (FGS) in Hong Kong at the bridge site from the field monitoring system of wind turbulence parameters (FMS-WTP) to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the hybrid numerical simulation method. The comparison demonstrates that the hybrid numerical simulation method gives more accurate prediction to typhoon wind speed and direction, because the effect of topography is taken into account in the hybrid numerical simulation method.

The paper focuses on the integration of a non-linear one-dimensional model of Synthetic Jet (SJ) actuator in a well-assessed numerical simulation method for turbulent compressible flows. The computational approach is intended to the implementation of a numerical tool suited for flow control simulations with affordable CPU resources. A strong compromise is sought between the use of boundary conditions or zero-dimensional models and the full simulation of the actuator cavity, in view of long-term simulation with multiple synthetic jet actuators. The model is integrated in a multi-domain numerical procedure where the controlled flow field is simulated by a standard CFD method for compressible RANS equations, while flow inside the actuator is reduced to a one-dimensional duct flow with a moving piston. The non-linear matching between the two systems, which ensures conservation of the mass, momentum and energy is explained. The numerical method is successfully tested against three typical test cases: the jet in quiescent air, the SJ in cross flow and the flow control on the NACA0015 airfoil.

Turbulent flow structure in the high amplitude meandering channel is complex due to secondary recirculation with helicoidal motions and shear layers formed by flow separation from the curved sidewall. In this work, the secondary flow and the superelevation of the water surface produced in the high-amplitude Kinoshita channel are reproduced by the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations using the VOF technique for resolving the variation of water surface elevation and three statistical turbulence models ($k-{\varepsilon}$, RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$, $k-{\omega}$ SST). The numerical results computed by a second-order accurate finite volume method are compared with an existing experimental measurement. Among applied turbulence models, $k-{\omega}$ SST model relatively well predicts overall distribution of the secondary recirculation in the Kinoshita channel, while all three models yield similar prediction of water superelevation transverse slope. The secondary recirculation driven by the radial acceleration in the upstream bend affects the flow structure in the downstream bend, which yields a pair of counter-rotating vortices at the bend apex. This complex flow pattern is reasonably well reproduced by the $k-{\omega}$ SST model. Both $k-{\varepsilon}$ based models fail to predict the clockwise-rotating vortex between a pair of counter-rotating vortices which was observed in the experiment. Regardless of applied turbulence models, the present computations using the VOF method appear to well reproduce the superelevation of water surface through the meandering channel.

자연 하천은 연속적인 곡선 흐름을 가지고 있으며, 하천의 흐름을 해석하는 것은 복잡하고 어려운 일이다. 게다가 자연하천에서는 유사이송에 의해 하상변동이 발생하며 이를 정확하게 예측하는 것은 공학적 문제 해결에 중요한 역할을 한다. 곡선 흐름에서의 하상변동양상은 원심력에 의한 이차류로 인하여 유사가 하천의 내측으로 이동하게 되고, 하천의 외측에는 침식, 내측에는 퇴적이 된다. 이와 같은 현상은 원심력뿐만이 아니라 하천의 곡선에 의해 발생하게 되는 박리 또한 중요한 원인으로 이야기 되고 있으며, 선행 연구자들에 의해서 박리의 영향이 작지 않음을 알 수 있다. 자연하천에서의 정확한 하상변동을 예측하기 위해서는 원심력에 의한 이차류와 박리의 현상을 정확히 모의할 수 있어야하며, 이를 위해 3차원 모형이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3차원 unsteady RANS 모형을 이용하여 곡선수로에서 박리가 발생하는 현상을 모의하고자 한다. 곡선수로를 모의하기 위해서 곡선좌표계를 사용하였으며, 난류모형으로는 standard $k-{\varepsilon}$과 $k-{\omega}$ SST을 사용하였다. 또한 fractional step method를 이용하여 유속과 압력 커플링을 하였다. 그 결과 곡선수로의 흐름모의에서 레이놀즈 수가 큰 경우 박리가 발생하는 것을 확인하였으며, 두 난류모형 모두 곡선 흐름에서의 박리 현상을 모의할 수 있었다.

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.

A finite-volume method is developed to solve turbulent flows around modern commercial hull forms with bow and stern bulbs. The RANS equations are solved. The cell-centered finite-volume method employs QUICK and central difference scheme for convective and diffusive flux discretization, respectively. The SIMPLEC method is adopted for the velocity-pressure coupling. The developed numerical methods are applied to calculate turbulent flow around KRISO 3600TEU container ship. Surface meshes are generated into five blocks: bow and stern bulbs, overhang, fore and afterbody. 3-D field grid system with O-H topology is generated using elliptic grid generation method. Surface friction lines and wake distribution at propeller plane is compared with experiment. The calculated results show that the present method can be used to predict flow around a modern commercial hull forms with bulbs.

본 논문은 2차원 해면효과의 수치계산 결과를 정리하였다. 지면으로부터의 높이변화에 따른 점성유동장을 계산하기 위하여 지배방정식으로는 비압축성 RANS 방정식을, 시간에 대하여서는 음해법으로 프로그램을 구성하였다. 압력항은 가상압축성과 4차 수치확산항을 추가하는 것에 의해 계산하였으며, 높은 레이놀즈 수에서의 효과적인 계산을 위해 Baldwin- Lomax 난류모델을 도입하였다. 해면효과가 없는 무한유중에서의 NACA-0012 단면 계산결과를 실험 데이터와 비교하는 것에 의해 프로그램의 타당성을 확인하였다. NACA-6409와 두께 비 4.6%의 날개에 대하여 해면효과를 고려한 계산을 수행하였다. 계산결과, 높이의 변화에 따라 계산된 무차원계수, 압력 및 속도분포는 해면효과의 특성을 잘 보여주고 있다.
