In this paper, prediction of separation trajectory for Two-stage-To-Orbit space launch vehicle has been numerically simulated by using an aerodynamic database based on steady state analysis. Aerodynamic database were obtained for matrix of longitudinal and vertical positions. The steady flow simulations around the launch vehicle have been made by using a 3-D RANS flow solver based on unstructured meshes. For this purpose, a vertex-centered finite-volume method was adopted to discretize inviscid and viscous fluxes. Roe's finite difference splitting was utilized to discretize the inviscid fluxes, and the viscous fluxes were computed based on central differencing. To validate this flow solver, calculations were made for the wind-tunnel experiment model of the LGBB TSTO vehicle configuration on steady state conditions. Aerodynamic database was constructed by using flow simulations based on test matrix from the wind-tunnel experiment. ANN(Artificial Neural Network) was applied to construct interpolation function among aerodynamic variables. Separation trajectory for TSTO launch vehicle was predicted from 6-DOF equation of motion based on the interpolated function. The result of present separation trajectory calculation was compared with the trajectory using experimental database. The predicted results for the separation trajectory shows fair agreement with reference[4] solution.

The effects of the gravity field and the free surface on the cavity shape and the drag are investigated through a numerical analysis for the steady supercavitating flow past a simple two-dimensional body underneath the free surface. The continuity and the RANS equations are numerically solved for an incompressible fluid using a $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model and a mixture fluid model has been applied for calculating the multiphase flow of air, water and vapor using the method of volume of fluid and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model. Numerical solutions have been obtained for the supercavitating flow about a two-dimensional $30^{\circ}$ wedge in wide range of depths of submergence and inflow velocities. The results are presented for the cavity shape, especially the length and the width, and the drag of the wedge in comparison with those of the case for the infinite fluid flow neglecting the gravity and the free surface. The influences of the gravity field and the free surface on the aforementioned quantities are discussed. The length and the width of the supercavity are reduced and the centerline of the cavity rises toward the free surface due to the effects of the gravity field and the free surface. The drag coefficient of the wedge, however, is about the same except for shallow depths of submergence. As the supercavitating wedge is approaching very close to the free surface, it is found the length and the width of a cavity are shorten even though the cavitation number is reduced. Also the present result suggests that, under the influence of the gravity field and the free surface, the length of the supercavity for a certain cavitation number varies and moreover is proportional to the inverse of the submergence depth Froude number.

A jet stream applied tangential to a curved surface in fluid increases lift force by strengthening circulation around the surface and this phenomenon is known as the Coanda effect. Many experimental and numerical studies have been performed on the Coanda effect and the results found to be useful in various fields of aerodynamics. Recently, preliminary studies on Coanda control surface are in progress to look for practical application in marine hydrodynamics since various control surfaces are used to control behaviors of ships and offshore structures. In the present study, the performance of a Coanda control surface with different geometries of the jet injection nozzle was surveyed to assess applicability to ship rudders. A numerical simulation was carried out to study flow characteristics around a section of a horn type rudder subjected to a tangential jet stream. The RANS equations, discretized by a cell-centered finite volume method were used for this computation after verification by comparing to the experimental data available. Special attentions have been given to the sensitivity of the lift performance of a Coanda rudder to the location of the slit (outlet) and intake of the gap between the horn and rudder surface at the various angles of attack. It is found that the location of the water intake is important in enhancing the lift because the gap functions as a conduit of nozzle generating a jet sheet on the rudder surface.

This study focused on the roll motion characteristics of a two-dimensional (2D) rectangular floating structure under regular beam sea conditions. An experiment was conducted in a 2D wave tank for a roll free decay test in calm water and the roll motion in a range of regular waves with and without heave motion to investigate the motion response and heave influence on the roll motion. A numerical study was carried out using Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS)-based CFD simulations. A grid convergence test was conducted to accurately capture the wave condition on the free surface based on the overset mesh and wave forcing method. It was found in the roll free decay test that the numerical results agreed well with the experimental results for the natural roll period and roll damping coefficient. It was also observed that the heave motion had an impact on the roll motion, and the responses of the heave and roll motion from the CFD simulations were in reasonable agreement with those from the experiment.

The evolution of the cavity and the variation of the drag for an underwater body with control fins are investigated through a numerical analysis of the steady cavitating turbulent flow. The continuity and the steady-state RANS equations are numerically solved using a mixture fluid model for calculating the multiphase turbulent flow of air, water and vapor together with the SST $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model. The method of volume of fluid is applied by the use of the Sauer's cavitation model. Numerical solutions have been obtained for the cavity flow about an underwater body shaped like the Russian high-speed torpedo, Shkval. Results are presented for the cavity shape and the drag of the body under the influence of the gravity and the free surface. The evolution of the cavity with the body speed is discussed and the calculated cavity shapes are compared with the photographs of the cavity taken from an underwater launch experiment. Also the variation of the drag for a wide range of the body speed is investigated and analyzed in details.

A numerical simulation of the incompressible multiphase hydraulic jump flow was performed to compare the interface prediction through the use of the three RANS turbulence models: $k-{\varepsilon}$, $RNGk-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. A three dimensional no submerged hydraulic jump and a two dimensional submerged hydraulic jump were modeled. Both the geometry and the mesh were created using the open source Gmsh code. The project's geometry consists of a rectangular channel with length and height differences between the two dimensional and three dimensional simulations. Uniform hexahedral cells were used for the mesh. Three refining meshes were constructed to allow to verify simulation convergence. The Volume of Fluid (abbr. VOF) method was used for treatment of the air-water surface. The turbulence models were evaluated in three distinct set up configurations to provide a greater accuracy in the flow representation. In the two-dimensional analysis of a submerged hydraulic jump simulation, the turbulence model RNG RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ provided a better interface adjust with the experimental results than the model $k-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$. In the three-dimensional simulation of a no-submerged hydraulic jump the k-# showed better results than the SST $k-{\omega}$ and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ capturing the height and length of the ledge with a better fit with the experimental results.

Slug flow is the most common multi-phase flow encountered in oil and gas industry. In this study, the hydrodynamic features of flow in pipes investigated numerically using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations for the effect of slug flow on the vertical and bent pipeline. The compressible Reynold averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation was used as the governing equation, with the volume of fluid (VOF) method to capture the outline of the bubble in a pipeline. The simulations were tested for the grid and time step convergence, and validated with the experimental and theoretical results for the main hydrodynamic characteristics of the Taylor bubble, i.e., bubble shape, terminal velocity of bubble, and the liquid film velocity. The slug flow was simulated with various air and water injection velocities in the pipeline. The simulations revealed the effect of slug flow as the pressure occurring in the wall of the pipeline. The peak pressure and pressure oscillations were observed, and those magnitudes and trends were compared with the change in air and water injection velocities. The mechanism of the peak pressures was studied in relation with the change in bubble length, and the maximum peak pressures were investigated for the different positions and velocities of the air and water in the pipeline. The pressure oscillations were investigated in comparison with the bubble length in the pipe and the oscillation was provided with the application of damping. The pressures were compared with the case of a bent pipe, and a 1.5 times higher pressures was observed due to the compression of the bubbles at the corner of the bent. These findings can be used as a basic data for further studies and designs on pipeline systems with multi-phase flow.

만곡수로에서의 흐름은 나선형 운동 형태의 이차류가 지배적이며, 이로 인해 일반적으로 만곡 외측을 따라 침식 현상이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 이차류를 약화시키기 위해서 보통 만곡수로 외측을 따라서 수제와 같은 수공구조물을 설치한다. 이 연구에서는 OpenFOAM 오프소스 소프트웨어를 토대로 난류 해석을 위한 하이브리드 RANS/LES 기법과 자유수면 해석을 위한 VoF기법을 이용한 3차원 수치모의를 통해서 $90^{\circ}$ 만곡수로에 설치된 잠긴수제가 후루드수가 0.43인 조건에서 이차류의 발달에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시간과 공간에 대해서 2차 정확도의 유한체적법을 이용하여 수치모의를 수행하였으며, 수치해석 결과는 실험결과와 비교하여 수치모의의 정확도를 평가하였다. 잠긴수제가 설치된 경우의 수치모의 결과를 흐름방향 유속 분포와 횡방향 순환 유속벡터장을 중심으로 수리실험 관측값들과 비교할 때 수치모의 결과는 수리실험에서 관측된 주요 이차류 흐름 거동과 현상들을 대부분 양호한 정확도로 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 수치모의 결과를 비교해보면, 잠긴수제 설치로 인해서 만곡이 끝나는 단면 외측 하상부근에서의 유속은 약 평균유속의 1/3 정도 감소하는 반면에 수제 상단부에서의 전단층 발달에 따른 흐름 가속으로 자유수면 부근까지 유속이 증가하고 만곡 수충부에서는 수면 부근 유속이 약 20% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 잠긴수제는 만곡부에서 발생하는 이차류의 강도를 약화시켜 만곡부 외측 하상의 안정에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 각 잠긴수제 전면부에서 말발굽와가 그리고 후면부에서는 후류가 형성되면서 수제 구조물 주변에서 강한 국부세굴이 발생하는 것으로 나타남으로, 국부세굴을 최소화할 수 있는 수제의 형상 및 배열에 대한 추가 연구가 요구된다.

본 논문은 선박용 프로펠러 날개단면의 개발 과정을 다루고 있다. 2차원 날개단면의 유체역학적 특성은 캠버 및 두께 분포, 앞날 반경 등 기하학적 형상에 따라 달라진다. 2차원 날개단면 주위의 전 유장을 난류로 고려한 후 해석하기 위해 유한 체적법에 의한 Reynoles time averaged Navier-Stockes 방정식을 이용한 수치해석 기법을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 날개단aus 표면에 보다 많은 계산점을 주면서도 받음각의 변화에도 격자계 생성이 용이한 O-Type 격자계를 채택하였고, 전 유동장은 k-${\varepsilon}$ 난류 모형을 적용하여 해석하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 수치해석 기법은 NACA0012의 실험 결과와 비교하여 계산 정도를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 항력을 갖는 고효율 날개단면 개발을 목표로, 항력이 양호한 날개단면은 공동 터널에서 양력, 항력 및 공동 특성 실험을 수행하였으며, 수치 해석 결과와도 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 2차원 날개단면 해석용 수치 유체역학 코드는 실험 결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 과정을 통하여 기존의의 날개단면인 NACA66 두께 분포와 a=0.8 mean line 캠버를 갖는 KH13보다 효율뿐만 아니라 공동 특성도 우수한 단면인 KH28을 개발할 수 있었다. 새로운 날개 단면인 KH28은 선박용 프로펠러에 적용하기 위한 연구가 지속되어야 하며, 한편 낮은 받음각에서 양-항력 추정의 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 개발된 수치해석 코드에 2-경계층 모형이 적용되어야 할 것으로 본다.
