This paper introduces a BEM/RANS interactive scheme to predict the contra-rotating propeller (CRP) performance. In this scheme, the forward propeller and the aft propeller are handled by two separate BEM models while the interactions between them are achieved by coupling them with a RANS solver. By using the body force field and mass source field to represent the propeller in the RANS model, the number of RANS cells and the number of required RANS iterations reduce significantly. The method provides an efficient way to predict the effective wake, the steady/unsteady propeller forces, etc. The BEM/RANS interactive scheme is first applied to a CRP in both an axisymmetric manner and a non-axisymmetric manner. Results are shown in good agreement with the experimental data in moderate to high advance ratios. It is proved that the difference between the axisymmetric scheme and the non-axisymmetric scheme mainly comes from the non-axisymmetric bodies. It is also found that the error is larger at lower advance ratios. Possible explanations are given. Finally, some additional cases are tested which justifies that the non-axisymmetric BEM/RANS scheme is able to handle a podded CRP working at given inclination angles.

본 연구에서는 크리깅 기법을 이용하여 엇갈린 핀휜이 부착된 회전하는 내부냉각유로의 형상 최적화를 수행하였다. 냉각유로 형상의 여러 매개변수 중 핀의 지름과 높이의 비, 핀의 지름과 핀과 핀 사이의 거리의 비를 최적설계를 위한 설계변수로 선택하였다. 열전달 관련 목적함수와 마찰손실 관련 목적함수를 가중계수를 이용하여 선형적으로 결합한 목적함수를 정의하였다. 크리깅 모델을 구축하기 위해 라틴하이퍼큐브 샘플링기법에 의해 생성된 20개 실험점에서 목적함수가 SST난류모델을 사용한 삼차원 레이놀즈평균 나비어-스톡스(RANS) 유동해석법에 의해 계산되었다. 크리깅 기법을 통하여 예측된 목적함수값은 RANS해석을 이용해 계산된 값과 매우 작은 오차 범위 내에서 일치하였으며, 최적설계를 통해 목적함수가 11% 감소하는 결과를 얻었다.

In this study, comparative analysis on the back-layer phenomena in the tunnel-fire driven flow is performed using numerical simulation with LES and RANS. FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) code is employed to calculate the fire-driven turbulent flow for LES and Smartfire code is used for RANS. Hwang and Wargo's data of scaling tunnel fire experiment are employed to compare with the present numerical simulation. The modeled tunnel is 5.4m(L) ${\times}$ 0.4m(W) ${\times}$ 0.3m(H). Heat Release Rate (HRR) of fire is 3.3kW and ventilation-velocity is 0.33m/s in the main stream. The various grid-distributions are systematically tested with FDS code to analyze the effects of grid size. The LES method with FDS provides an improved back-layer flow behavior in comparison with the RANS (${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$) method by Smartfire. The FDS solvers, however, overpredict the velocity in the center region of flow which is caused by the defects in the tunnel-entrance turbulence strength and in the near-wall turbulent flow in FDS code.

Propeller type pump has been widely used for pumping water in agricultural and manufacturing industry. Since a propeller type pump contains a screw impeller inside a circular casing, the numerical analysis becomes complex. However, the accurate prediction of viscous flow is essential for computing hydrodynamic performances. To analysis the flow and the performance of the propeller type pump, the present work has solved 3D incompressible RANS equations on the multiblocked grid. From the present calculation, small amount of flow separation was shown near hub and the flow was recovered to nearly uniform inflow after one diameter downstream. Torque and thrust coefficient were computed and compared with experiments.

본 연구에선 Texas University에서 수행된 흡입구/격리부 모델 실험에 대한 2차원 RANS 전산해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 초음속 유동 조건을 해석하여 실험에서 측정된 표면 압력 결과와 비교하고, 마하수 분포와 numerical shadowgraph를 확인하여 유동 구조를 분석하였다. 이후 격리부 후면에 압력 변화로 흡입구 불시동 상황을 묘사하고 비정상 RANS 해석을 수행하여 흡입구 불시동 진행과정을 확인하였다.

In this paper, separated flow characteristics is studied using the RANS(Reynold-averaged Navier-Stokes) modeling. The analysis is performed for the NASA's hump configuration which is the combination of a flat plate and a hump. This configuration was used in NASA's flow control workshop and it was one of validation cases for RANS and LES simulations. The separation occurs at the 65% of model length where a slot is positioned for the flow control. No flow control case and steady suction case are studied using RANS modeling. The Spalart-Allmaras model and the SST(Shear Stress Transport) model are applied and their accuracy are compared. To correlate CFD analysis with experimental data, the optimal boundary condition was investigated and the effect of a cavity around the slot is studied for the no flow case.

Accurate prediction of ship dynamics, particularly roll motion, is very important in ship safety. In the past, empirical or vortex based methods were commonly used for the hydrodynamic roll damping predictions but they could not be applied to practical ship roll motion cause of limitations about geometries ad design conditions. Recently RANS-based techniques are developed for the practical ship motion analysis. In this study, RANS based roil analysis about a rectangular cylinder with WAVIS developed by MOERI/KORDI are performed and compared with the experimental data and other RANS results.

This paper provides numerical results for the estimation of the efficiency of KRISO energy saving devices in the design stage. A finite volume method is used to solve Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, where the SST k-$\omega$ model is selected for turbulence closure. The propeller rotating motion is determined using a rigid body motion (RBM) scheme, which is called a sliding mesh technique. The numerical analysis focuses on predicting the power reduction by the designed KRISO devices (K-DUCT) under a self-propulsion condition. The present numerical results show good agreement with the available experimental data. Finally, it is concluded that CFD can be a useful method, along with model tests, for assessing the performance of energy saving devices for propulsion efficiency improvement.

The present paper provides a CFD analysis of diffraction problem for a ship with forward speed using an unsteady RANS simulation method, a WAVIS code. The WAVIS viscous solver adopting a finite volume method has second order accuracy in time and field discretizaions for the RANS equations. A two phase level-set method and a realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are adopted to compute the free surface and to meet the turbulence closure, respectively. To validate the capability of the present numerical methods for the simulation of an unsteady progressive regular wave, computations are performed for three grid sets with refinement ratio of ${\sqrt{2}}$. The main simulation is performed for a DTMB5512 model with a forward speed in a regular head sea condition. Validation of the present numerical method is carried out by comparing the present CFD results with available unsteady experimental data published in the 2005 Tokyo CFD Workshop: resistance, heave force, pitch moment, unsteady free surface elevations and velocity fields.
