In this work, shape optimization of a wire-wrapped fuel assembly in a liquid metal reactor has been carried out by combining a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with the radial basis neural network method, a well known surrogate modeling technique for optimization. Sequential Quadratic Programming is used to search the optimal point from the constructed surrogate. Two geometric design variables are selected for the optimization and design space is sampled using Latin Hypercube Sampling. The optimization problem has been defined as a maximization of the objective function, which is as a linear combination of heat transfer and friction loss related terms with a weighing factor. The objective function value is more sensitive to the ratio of the wire spacer diameter to the fuel rod diameter than to the ratio of the wire wrap pitch to the fuel rod diameter. The optimal values of the design variables are obtained by varying the weighting factor.

A numerical study is presented for analysis of three-dimensional incompressible turbulent flows in a multi-blade centrifugal fan. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a standard $k-{\espilon}$ turbulence model are discretized with finite volume approximations. The computational area is divided into three blocks; inlet core, impeller and scroll parts, which are linked by a multi-block method. The flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow, and the mathematical models for the impeller forces were established from a cascade theory and measured data. Empirical coefficients are obtained comparing between computational and experimental results for the case without scroll, and are employed to simulate the flow through the impeller with scroll. In comparisons with experimental data, the validity of the mathematical models for the impeller forces was examined. The characteristics of the flow in the scroll were also discussed.

This study presents an aerodynamic design and numerical analysis of a centrifugal compressor in gas turbines for SOFC-gas turbine hybrid system application. Total-to-total pressure ratio of the compressor is 3.6:1 that could be used widely for small and large SOFC-gas turbine systems. The compressor consists of a centrifugal impeller and a wedge diffuser. Conceptual design and aerodynamic design with mean line analysis and quasi-3D analysis are performed, and aerodynamic parameters as well as design variables are discussed from the design results. A numerical analysis based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation was performed for the flow analysis of the compressor. The results show that the centrifugal compressor designed meets the design target, and the aerodynamic parameters and results of the compressor can be used for the aerodynamic design of centrifugal compressors and the feasibility study of SOFC-gas turbine system design.

초음속 제트 마하수 1.07부터 1.2 범위에서 축대칭 제트 스크리치 톤을 해석하였다. 축대칭 모드는 낮은 마하수 축대칭 제트의 지배적인 스크리치 톤 모드이다. 난류 해석을 위해 수정된 Spalart-Allmaras 모델을 RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식에 사용하였다. 스크리치 톤 해석에서 중요한 음파의 전파, shock-cell 구조 및 거대한 불안정 파를 정확히 계산하기 위해 비반사 특성 경계조건과 연계한 고차정확도의 ENO 기법을 사용하였다. 수치 해석결과는 다른 연구자들의 실험 및 계산 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 따라서 본 연구에 사용된 수치 기법들이 초음속 제트 유동 및 소음연구에 타당함을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the numerical results of a simulation of the free surface flow around a blunt bow ship model and focuses on the validation of the proposed method with a brief investigation of the relation between the resistance and free surface behavior. A finite volume method based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach is used to solve the governing flow equations, where the free surface, including wave breaking,is captured by using a two-phase Level-Set (LS) method. For turbulence closure, a two equation k-${\varepsilon}$ model with the standard wall function technique is used. Finally, the numerical results are compared with the available experimental data, showing good agreement.

For the more accurate prediction on manoeuvring performance of a ship at initial design phase, bare hull manoeuvring coefficients were estimated by RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) based virtual captive model tests. Hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on the hull during static drift and harmonic oscillatory motions were computed with a commercial RANS code STAR-CCM+. Automatic and consistent mesh generation could be implemented by using macro functions of the code and user dependency could be greatly reduced. Computed forces and moments on KCS and KVLCC 1&2 were compared with the corresponding measurements from PMM(Planar Motion Mechanism) tests. Quite good agreement can be observed between the CFD and EFD results. Manoeuvring coefficients and IMO standard manoeuvres estimated from the computed data also showed reasonable agreement with those from the experimental data. Based on these results, we could confirm that the developed virtual captive manoeuvring model test process could be applied to evaluate manoeuvrability of a ship at the initial hull design phase.

A numerical study has been performed to evaluate thermal-hydraulic performance of a finger type cooling module with multiple-jet impingement in a divertor of nuclear fusion reactor. To analyze conjugate heat transfer in both solid and fluid domains, numerical analysis of the flow using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations has been performed with shear stress transport turbulence model. The computational domain for the cooling module consisted of a single fluid domain and three solid domains; tile, thimble, and cartridge. The numerical results for the temperature variation on the tile were validated in comparison with experimental data under the same conditions. A parametric study was performed with four geometric parameters, i.e., angles between x-axis and centerlines of hole 1, 2, 3 and 4. The results indicate that the heat transfer rate was increased by 2.7% and 0.7% by the angle ${\theta}_1$ and angle ${\theta}_2$, respectively, and that the pressure drop was decreased by up to 1.8% by the angle ${\theta}_3$.

In this study, a parametric study on a cavity as casing treatment of a centrifugal compressor has been conducted using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model. Two kinds of cavity were applied at choke and surge conditions, respectively, in this work. Inlet and outlet port widths, angle of outlet port, and length of cavity were chosen as the geometric parameters and investigated to find their effects on the aerodynamic performances such as adiabatic efficiency at design mass flow rate and stall margin of the centrifugal compressor. It was found that the aerodynamic performances of the centrifugal compressor were affected considerably by the four geometric parameters. The adiabatic efficiency was hardly changed by the geometric parameters, excepts for the angle of outlet port. With an increase in the angle of outlet port, the adiabatic efficiency and the stall margin decreased. The stall margin was more sensitive to the outlet port width than to the other geometric parameters. And, with a decrease in the outlet port width, the stall margin increased by 2% compared to that of the reference.
