Swirling turbulent flows downstream of an abrupt axisymmetric expansion in a pipe are analyzed numerically by a second-order turbulence closure. Predictions for the flows without swirl and with strong swirl are obtained. The governing differential equations are discretized by finite volume approach. The results show that the on-axis recirculation induced by the strong swirl is correctly reproduced. The predictions for mean velocity components and turbulent normal stresses agree well with experimental data far downstream of expansion, but show large discrepancies in wall-bounded recirculation zone.

In the present work, characteristics of the flow in the cage of a steam turbine bypass control valve for thermal power plant are investigated. Experimental measurement for wall static pressure has been carried out to validate numerical solutions. And, the flowfield is analyzed by solving steady three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. The effects of the flow area between stages of the cage on the pressure drop are also found.

In this paper, numerical study on a mixed-flow pump for irrigation and drainage has been performed based on three-dimensional viscous flow analysis. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by finite volume approximations and solved by the commercial CFD code ANSYS CFX-11.0. A structured grid system is constructed in the computational domain, which has O-type grids near the blade surfaces and H/J-type grids in other regions. The numerical results were validated with experimental data for the heads and efficiencies at different flow coefficients. The efficiency at the design flow coefficient is evaluated with the variation of two geometric variables related to area of discharge and length of the vane in the diffuser. The results show that efficiency of the mixed-flow pump at the design flow coefficient is improved by the modifications of the geometry.

This paper presents a procedure for the design optimization of a centrifugal compressor. The centrifugal compressor consists of a centrifugal impeller, vaneless diffuser and volute. And, optimization techniques based on the radial basis neural network method are used to optimize the impeller of a centrifugal compressor. The Latin-hypercube sampling of design-of-experiments is used to generate the thirty design points within design spaces. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by using finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids to evaluate the objective function of the total-to-total pressure ratio. Four variables defining the impeller hub and shroud contours are selected as design variables in this optimization. The results of optimization show that the total-to-total pressure ratio of the optimized shape at the design flow coefficient is enhanced by 2.46% and the total-to-total pressure ratios at the off-design points are also improved significantly by the design optimization.

본 연구에서는 수치모의를 통하여 전단면 식생 수로에서 와도의 생성을 분석하였다. 지배방정식에서 난류 폐합을 위해 레이놀즈응력모형을 이용하였다. 거친 하상-매끄러운 측벽 및 매끄러운 하상-거친 측벽을 갖는 개수로 흐름을 수치모의하여 서로 다른 형태의 이차흐름 구조가 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, 거친 하상 조건에서는 자유수면 이차흐름의 규모가 감소되고, 거친 측벽 조건에서는 자유수면 이차흐름의 구조가 더 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단면 식생 수로를 수치모의하여 수심 크기의 바닥 이차흐름이 형성되고, 식생 밀도가 증가함에 따라 자유수면 이차흐름이 점차 사라지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 이차흐름 생성에 중요한 역할을 하는 난류의 비등방성 및 레이놀즈응력 분포를 식생밀도에 따라 살펴보았다. 한편, 와도 방정식을 분석한 결과, 비식생 수로의 경우 벽 및 수면 경계 근처에서는 난류 비등방성에 의한 생성항이, 경계와 떨어진 곳에서는 레이놀즈응력에 의한 생성항이 와도 생성에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 식생 수로에서는 이러한 특성이 사라지는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 비식생 수로에서는 바닥과 수면에서의 와도 생성이 강하게 발생되지만, 식생 수로에서는 바닥과 식생 높이에서 와도 생성이 크게 발생되는 것으로 나타났다.

This present work is to find optimum design of a NACA65 axial fan blade with weighted average surrogate model. The numerical analysis by Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress turbulence(SST) is discretized by finite volume approximations and solved on hexahedral grids for flow analysis. The blade aerodynamic shape is modified by six design variables for the optimization. The blade profile as well as stacking line is modified to enhance blade total efficiency. Six design variables, airfoil maximum camber, maximum camber location, leading edge radius, trailing edge radius, lean angle at 50% span and lean angle at 100% span, are selected for blade profile to enhance the total efficiency. The PBA model which is basically weighted average of the basis surrogates is used to find the optimal design in the design space from the constructed response surface model for the objective function. By the optimization, the total efficiency is increased by 1.4%.

The objective of this study is to investigate numerically the effect of building roof shaps on wind flow and pollutant dispersion in a street canyon with one row of trees of pore volume, $P_{vol}=96%$. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is used to evaluate air flow and pollutant dispersion within an urban street canyon using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Explicit Algebraic Reynolds Stress Models (EARSM) based on k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model to close the equation system. The numerical model is performed with ANSYS-CFX code. Vehicle emissions were simulated as double line sources along the street. The numerical model was validated by the wind tunnel experiment results. Having established this, the wind flow and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons (with six roof shapes buildings) are simulated. The numerical simulation results agree reasonably with the wind tunnel data. The results obtained in this work, indicate that the flow in 3D domain is more complicated; this complexity is increased with the presence of trees and variability of the roof shapes. The results also indicated that the largest pollutant concentration level for two walls (leeward and windward wall) is observed with the upwind wedge-shaped roof. But the smallest pollutant concentration level is observed with the dome roof-shaped.

This article examines the scale effect of the flow characteristics, resistance and propulsion performance on a 317k VLCC. The turbulent flows around a ship in both towing and self-propulsion conditions are analyzed by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation together with the application of Reynolds stress turbulence model. The computations are carried out in both model- and full-scale. A double-body model is applied for the treatment of free surface. An asymmetric body-force propeller is used. The speed performances including resistance and propulsion factors are obtained from two kinds of methods. One is to analyze the computational results in model scale through the revised ITTC' 78 method. The other is directly to analyze the computational results in full scale. Based on the computational predictions, scale effects of the resistance and the self-propulsion factors including form factor, thrust deduction fraction, effective wake fraction and various efficiencies are investigated. Scale effects of the streamline pattern, hull pressure and local flow characteristics including x-constant sections, propeller and center plane, and transom region are also investigated. This study presents a useful tool to hull-form and propeller designers, and towing-tank experimenters to take the scale effect into consideration.

Using a mathematical theory, we show that the optimality condition of a turbulent diffuser with maximum pressure recovery at the exit is zero shear stress along the wall. The optimal diffuser shape is designed through iterative procedures by using the $k-{\varepsilon}-{\nu}^{2}-f$ turbulence model for flow simulation. The Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the channel height at the diffuser entrance is 18,000. We also perform large eddy simulation to validate the shape design results and investigate the flow characteristics near the zero-skin friction wall. Results from large eddy simulation show that the skin friction is slightly higher than zero but is still very small as compared to that of the flat plate boundary layer flow Although the time-averaged wall shear stress is slightly above zero along the diffuser wall, instantaneous flow reversals occur intermittently. The streamwise mein velocity shows an asymptotic behavior of the half-power-law near the wall where the skin friction is close to zero.

KRISO 300K VLCC 이중모형선 주위의 유동특성을 풍동실험을 통해 연구하였다. 선체 선미 주위유동과 후류유동의 평균속도 성분, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 전단응력 및 난류 운동에너지 분포를 열선풍속계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험은 선미와 후류의 횡단면에서 수행하였으며, 선체 표면에서의 유동 패턴을 정성적으로 조사하기 위하여 유막법을 이용한 유동가시화도 수행하였다. 선미와 근접 후류영역은 매우 복잡한 3차원의 유동특성을 가지고 있으며, 특히 종방향 와류영역에서 고리 모양의 후류 구조를 볼 수 있었다. 그리고 중앙평행부에서의 얇은 경계층은 선미 영역을 지나며 점차 두꺼워지고 복잡한 3차원 난류후류로 발전하였다.
