A numerical study is carried out to analyze the steady three-dimensional turbulent flow and convective heat transfer in a staggered pin-fin array with diamond shaped elements at various geometrical configurations. Steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation are solved using a finite volume based solver. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. The computational domain is composed of one pitch of pin-fin displacement with periodic boundary conditions on the surfaces normal to the streamwise direction and the cross-streamwise direction. The numerical results for Nusselt number and friction factor are validated with experimental results. The effects of pin angle, pin height and pitch on Nusselt number, friction factor and efficiency index are investigated.

In the present work, shape of the mixing vane in Plus7 fuel assembly has been optimized numerically using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis of flow and heat transfer. Standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model is used as a turbulence closure. The Response surface method is employed as an optimization technique. The objective function is defined as a combination of heat transfer rate and inverse of friction loss. Bend angle and base length of mixing vane are selected as design variables. Thermal-hydraulic performances for different shapes of mixing vane have been discussed, and optimum shape has been obtained as a function of weighting factor in the objective function.

An iterative time marching procedure for solving incompressible internal flow has been applied to the flow around a rotor-stator. This procedure solves three-dimensional incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation on a moving, time-deforming, non-orthogonal body-fitted grid using second-order accurate schemes for the time derivatives and third/second-order accurate schemes for the spatial derivatives. To handle rotationg geometry, the multiblock technique is applied and the overall flow domain is subdivided into two blocks. In each block, a grid is generated and flowfield is solved independently of the other blocks. The boundary data for each block is provided by the neighboring blocks using bilinear interpolation technique.

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.

Computational and experimental investigations on the three-dimensional flowfield through an automotive cooling fan are carried out in this work. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional, turbulent flow through a rotating axial-flow fan is analyzed with Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations and standard k-.epsilon. turbulence model. The governing equations are discretized with finite-volume approximations in non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Computational static pressures on the casing wall agree well with the experimental data which are measured in this work. And, they are sensitive to the change of tip clearance. The flowfield is not significantly affected by the thickness of the blade. The k-.omega. model gives the static pressure rise on the casing wall which is similar to that with the k-.epsilon. model.

본 논문은 모형 프로펠러를 대상으로 공동수조 시험, 수중 충격시험, 유한요소해석 및 전산유체해석에 기반하여 수행한 명음 발생 메커니즘 연구이다. 선미 유동을 모사하기 위해 반류망, 프로펠러 및 방향타를 설치하고 수중청음기와 가속도계로 프로펠러 명음 현상의 발생과 소멸을 계측하였다. 유한요소해석을 통해 프로펠러 날개의 고유진동수를 예측하고 접촉 및 비접촉식 충격시험으로 이를 검증하였다. RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식 기반 전산유체해석을 통하여 프로펠러 날개 각 단면의 유속과 유효 받음각을 계산하였으며, DES(Detached Eddy Simulation) 기반 고해상도 해석을 통해 명음 발생 위치에서 2-D 날개 단면 뒷전의 와류흘림주파수(vortex shedding frequency) 계산을 수행하였다. 수치적으로 예측된 와류흘림주파수는 모형시험으로 계측한 명음 발생 주파수 및 날개 고유진동수와 일치함을 확인하였다.

The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of berm breakwater on wave run-up. A total of 200 numerical analysis tests have been carried out in this paper to investigate the effect of berm width, wave height, and wave period on the wave run-up, using an integrating technique of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Direct application of Navier Stokes equations within the berm width has been used to provide a more reliable approach for studying the wave run-up over berm breakwaters. A well tested Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) code with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) scheme was adopted for numerical computations. The computational results were compared with theoretical data to validate the model outputs. Numerical results showed that the simulation method can provide accurate estimations for wave run-up over berm breakwaters. It was found that the wave run-up may be decreased by increasing the berm width up to about 36 percent. Furthermore, the wave run-up may increase by increasing the wave height and wave period up to about 53 and 36 percent, respectively. These results may convince the engineers to use this model for design of berm breakwater in actual scale by calculating the Reynolds numbers.

Exergetic analysis was introduced in optimization of a rotating equilateral triangular internal cooling channel with staggered square ribs to maximize the net exergy gain. The objective function was defined as the net exergy gain considering the exergy gain by heat transfer and exergy losses by friction and heat transfer process. The flow field and heat transfer in the channel were analysed using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations under the uniform temperature condition. Shear stress transport turbulence model has been selected as a turbulence closure through the turbulence model test. Computational results for the area-averaged Nusselt number were validated compared to the experimental data. Three design variables, i.e., the angle of rib, the rib pitch-to-hydraulic diameter ratio and the rib width-to-hydraulic diameter ratio, were selected for the optimization. The optimization was performed at Reynolds number, 20,000. Twenty-two design points were selected by Latin hypercube sampling, and the values of the objective function were evaluated by the RANS analysis at these points. Through optimization, the objective function value was improved by 22.6% compared to that of the reference geometry. Effects of the Reynolds number, rotation number, and buoyancy parameter on the heat transfer performance of the optimum design were also discussed.

도심지역을 단순 모델링한 실규모 공간에서 누출된 프로판 확산과정에 대해 대와동모사(Large Eddy Simulation: LES), 분리와동모사(Detached Eddy Simulation: DES) 및 비정상 레이놀즈평균기법(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes: RANS)을 이용한 3가지 전산해석을 수행하였다. 전산해석은 FLUENT 14를 이용하였고 격자계는 ICEM-CFD를 이용하여 구성하였다. 그 결과 건물 주변의 프로판 농도분포는 주변 와구조와 밀접한 관련이 있어 이러한 와구조를 합리적으로 예측하는 정도에 따라 농도분포가 크게 차이날 수 있음을 알았다. LES와 DES는 비교적 유사한 와구조와 프로판 농도분포를 보이지만 RANS는 너무 부드러운 농도분포를 보여 복잡한 비정상적인(Unstedy) 난류 유동장을 재현하는데 한계가 있어 가스연료 누출 초기의 농도분포 전개과정을 예측하는 데에는 어려움이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 해석결과와 계산시간까지 고려한다면 DES 방법이 실규모에서의 가스연료 누출 확산과정에 대한 CFD 해석방법으로 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 관심이 높아지고 있는 해상풍력 터빈의 성능평가를 위해 풍력터빈 날개에 대한 점성유동장 해석을 수행하였다. Fluent package를 사용하여 회전하는 비관성 좌표계에서 Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes 방정식의 해를 구하였다. 난 류 모형은 realizable k-$\varepsilon$ 모델을 사용하였으며, 격자계는 구조 격자계와 비구조 격자계를 혼합하여 사용하였다. 먼저 실험값이 공개되어 있는 2차원 날개에 대한 유동해석을 통해 수치계산 결과를 검증하였다. 다음으로 NACA 4-series 단면을 가지는 세 개의 날개가 2 MW의 정격출력을 내도록 설계된 풍력터빈 날개를 대상으로 회전수와 피치각을 고정시킨 상태에서 입사류의 속도를 변화하여 주속비 별로 성능해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 풍력터빈의 성능향상을 위해 날개의 끝에 세 가지 형태의 날개 끝판을 붙여 성능 변화를 추정하였다. 그 중에서 날개의 흡입면에 날개 끝판을 붙인 경우가 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 또한 풍력터빈 날개가 경사각과 레이크를 가진 경우에 대하여 출력계수를 각각 비교하였다.
