In this study, the applicability of the RNG k-.epsilon. model to the analysis of the complex flows is studied. The governing equations based on a non-orthogonal coordinate formulation with Cartesian velocity components are used and discretized by the finite volume method with non-staggered variable arrangements. The predicted results using the RNG k-.epsilon. model of three complex flows, i.e., the flow over a backward-facing step and a blunt flat plate, the flow around a 2D model car are compared to these from the standard k-.epsilon. model and experimental data. That of the unsteady axisymmetric turbulent flow within a cylinder of reciprocating model engine including port/valve assembly and the spray characteristics within a chamber of direct injection model engine are compared to these from the standard k-.epsilon. model and experimental data. The results of reattachment length, separated eddy size, average surface pressure distribution using the RNG k-.epsilon. model show more reasonable trends comparing with the experimental data than those using the modified k-.epsilon. model. Although the predicted rms velocity using the modified k-.epsilon. model is lower considerably than the experimental data in incylinder flow with poppet valve, predicted axial and radial velocity distributions at the valve exit and in-cylinder region show good agreements with the experimental data. The spray tip penetration predicted using the RNG k-.epsilon. model is more close to the experimental data than that using the modified k-.epsilon. model. The application of the RNG k-.epsilon. model seems to have some potential for the simulations of the unsteady turbulent flow within a port/valve-cylinder assembly and the spray characteristics over the modified k-.epsilon. model.

Flow characteristics of turbulent steady fluid flow past a cylinder in rectangular duct are measured by 5 W laser doppler velocity meter. The fluid flow is also computed by commercial software of STAR-CD for comparison between the measurement and computation. The turbulent models applied in the computations are standard K-epsilon model, RNG K-epsilon model and Chen K-epsilon model. Acurracy of standard K-epsilon model is a little bit better than acurracies of other models even though those models have almost the same order of error compared to measured data. The computations predict satisfactorily the measured velocity profiles at middle section of the circular cylinder before the fluid flow diverges. However, there are some disagreements between them at down stream from the circular cylinder.

The present study is concerned with the flow patterns induced by various impellers in a rectangular tank. Impellers are FBT (Flat blade turbine), PBT (Pitched blade turbine), Shroud turbine, Rushton turbine, and Helical ribbon turbine types. The solutions of flows in moving reference frames require the use of 'moving' cell zone. The moving zone approaches are based on MRF (Multiple reference frame), which is a steady-state approximation and sliding method, which is an unsteady-state approximation. Numerical results using two moving zone approaches we compared with experiments by Ranade & Joshi, which have done extensive LDA measurements of the flow generated by a standard six-bladed Rushton turbine in a cylindrical baffled vessel. In this paper, we simulated the flow patterns with above-mentioned moving zone approaches and impellers. Turbulence model used is RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model. Sliding-mesh method is more effective than MRF for simulating the rectangular tank with inlet and outlet. RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model strongly underestimates the velocity of experimental data and velocity by Chen & Kim's model, but it seems to be correctly predicted in overall distribution.

기존 해수취수시스템의 경우 해수오염, 부유물질, 취수의 불안정 및 유지관리의 어려움 등으로 인해 해수취수의 어려움이 발생하곤 하였다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고자 매설식 해수취수시스템을 개발하여 격포항에 설치하였다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 시스템의 거동을 검토하고자, 수질관측 및 3차원 수치모의 실험을 수행하였다. 이 취수시스템에 대하여 총 5회에 걸쳐 COD, 총질소, 총인, PH 그리고 부유물질에 대하여 수질분석을 수행한 결과, COD, 총질소, 총인, PH의 경우 취수 전 후 저감 효과는 미미하였다. 그러나 부유물질의 경우 수산용수 1급 5 mg/L 이하로 정화되는 효과가 나타났다. 수치모형은 유한체적법 기반의 CFX 모형과 RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 알고리즘을 선정하였으며, 여과사, 외부관 지름 및 두께를 재현하기 위해서 다공성 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 수치모의 실험을 수행한 결과, 2중관 구조가 내외부관 사이의 공간에 의해 압력의 분포를 균등하게 하여, 흐름 상태나 안정적인 취수측면에서 유리한 것으로 분석되었으며, 취수관을 다열 배치하였을 때 중앙 취수관과 비교하여 양쪽 취수관에서 유량이 0.98배로 감소하였지만 유동의 간섭현상은 발생하지 않았다.

A numerical analysis on three dimensional turbulent incompressible flows through linear cascades of turbine rotor blades with high turning angles has been performed by using a generalized k-.epsilon. model which is a high Reynolds number form and derived by RNG(renormalized group) method to account for the variation of the rate of strain. A second order upwind scheme is used to suppress numerical diffusion in approximating the convective terms. Body-fitted coordinates are adopted to represent the complex blade geometry accurately. For the case without tip clearance, velocity vectors and static pressure contours are shown to be in good agreement with previous experimental results. For the case with tip clearance, the effects of the passage vortex and tip clearance flow on the total pressure loss as well as their interactions are discussed.

A numerical simulation has been carried out for three-dimensional turbulent flows around an Ahmed body. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation is solved with the SIMPLE method in general curvilinear coordinates system. Several k-.epsilon. turbulence models with two convective difference schemes are evaluated for the performance such as drag coefficient, velocity and pressure fields. The drag coefficient, the velocity and pressure fields are found to be changed considerably with the adopted k-.epsilon. turbulence models as well as the finite difference schemes. The results of simulation prove that the RNG k-.epsilon. model with the QUICK scheme predicts fairly well the tendency of velocity and pressure fields and gives more reliable drag coefficient. It is also demonstrated that the large difference between simulations and experiment in the drag coefficient is due to relatively high predicted values of pressure drag from vertical rear end base.

본 연구에서는 평행 벽 제트-노즐 형상의 막냉각 수치해석에 적합한 난류모델을 선정하고자 하였다. 현재 실험을 하기 위한 전 단계이므로, 먼저 유사한 참고 형상에 대해 Standard $k-{\epsilon}$ 모델과 RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 모델, SST $k-{\omega}$ 모델, 그리고 RSM 모델 등 다양한 난류모델을 적용하였고, Near-wall 처리 방법으로서 SST $k-{\omega}$ 모델을 제외하고는 Standard wall functions와 Enhanced wall functions 등 2종류를 각각의 모델에서 사용하였으며, 실험값과 비교하여 보다 적합한 난류모델을 선정하고자 하였다. 나아가 2차원 축대칭으로 평행 벽 제트-노즐 단일 슬롯 형상에 대해 기선정한 난류모델을 적용하여 막냉각 특성을 살펴보았다. 유사 참고 형상에 대한 해석 결과 Standard $k-{\epsilon}$ 모델 및 RSM 모델이 거의 비슷한 성능을 보여주었으나 수렴성이 우수한 Standard $k-{\epsilon}$ 모델이 선정되었다. 또한 Standard wall functions를 사용하는 것보다 Enhanced wall functions를 사용하는 것이 더 좋은 결과를 보여주었다. 나아가 평행 벽 제트-노즐 단일 슬롯 형상에 적용한 결과 물리적으로 타당한 막냉각 특성을 보여주었다. 선정된 모델 및 해석방법론을 이용하여 평행 벽 제트-노즐 다단 슬롯 형상에 대한 막냉각 해석을 수행할 예정이며, 관련 결과는 추후 실험 예비해석 방법론으로 활용할 예정이다.

국내 외에서 다양한 형태의 석유 대체에너지는 온실효과 가스를 배출하지 않는 청정에너지로 개발되고 있으며, 특히 해상풍력은 풍력 자원이 풍부하고 육상보다 풍력 감소가 상대적으로 작아 다양하게 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 해상풍력기초의 세굴현상을 분석하기 위해서 Flow-3D 모형을 이용하여 모노 파일과 삼각대 파일 기초에 대하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 직경이 다른(D=5.0 m, d=1.69 m) 모노 파일 형식과 직경이 동일한(D=5.0 m) 모노파일에 대하여 세굴현상을 평가하였다. 수치해석 결과, 동일한 직경을 가진 모노파일에서 하강류가 증가되었으며, 최대세굴심은 약 1.7배 이상 발생하였다. 삼각대 파일에 대하여 관측유속과 극치파랑 조건을 상류경계조건으로 각각 적용한 후 세굴현상을 평가하였다. 극치파랑조건을 적용한 경우 최대 세굴심은 약 1.3배 정도 깊게 발생하였다. LES 모형을 적용하였을 경우 세굴심은 평형상태에 도달한 반면, RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ 모형은 해석영역 내 전반적으로 세굴현상이 발생하였으며, 세굴심은 평형상태에 도달하지 않았다. 해상풍력기초에 대하여 세굴현상을 평가하기 위해서 수치모형 적용시 파랑조건 및 LES 난류모형을 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

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.

To improve annular jet pump (AJP) performance, new ways named constant rate of velocity/pressure change method (CRVC/CRPC) were adopted to design its diffuser. The design formulas were derived according to the assumption of linear velocity/pressure variation in the diffuser. Based on the two-dimensional numerical simulations, the effect of the diffuser profile and the included angle on the pump performance and the internal flow details has been analyzed. The predicted results of the RNG k-epsilon turbulence model show a better agreement with the experiment data than that of the standard and the realizable k-epsilon turbulence models. The AJP with the CRPC diffuser produces a linear pressure increase in the CRPC diffuser as expected. The AJP with CRPC/CRVC diffuser has better performance when the diffuser included angle is greater or the diffuser length is shorter. Therefore, the AJP with CRPC/CRVC diffuser is suitable for applications requiring space limitation and weight restriction.
