Cross-flow fans are widely used in various applications, due to their large capacity of mass flow and size compactness. The flow field of the cross-flow fan is, however, complex and has many design parameters. Thus, the general design guide has not been sufficiently established yet and the design strategies of cross-flow fans have been based on experiments. In the present study, the performance and their two-dimensional flow characteristics are numerically analyzed by using the STAR-CD(commercial computational fluid dynamics code). The simulation is done by varying the several design parameters such as the impeller blade shapes and the gap between the stabilizer and impeller. The computational results are compared with the experimental data at the fan outlet region. Finally some helpful guides for the optimum design of cross-flow fans are proposed.

This study aimed to analyze spray characteristics and the ambient flow field in the mixture preparation state of the premixed combustion stage. It is very important to understand the spray characteristics and the fuel injection conditions in direct injection diesel engine because the emission gas compositions from diesel engines are related to spray formation processes of the premixed combustion stage. The numerical simulation was performed using the STAR-CD which is a commercial CFD code. Computed results of the transient high pressure diesel spray were compared with experimental results of the same spray injection condition in the constant volume chamber. The results show that spray patterns of numerical simulation agree with this experimental results comparatively.

The flow characteristics along a intake/compression process are very important for the combustion process. The intake/compression flow fields are related to the piston shape of engine. The flow fields are analysed by using the ICEM-CFD IC3M code for the rapid mesh-generation and by using the STAR-CD code for the calculations. The influences of the piston bowl shapes were investigated. The results showed that piston shapes had influences on a intake/compression flow and offered the definite basic data in a design side.

A study on the fire and smoke behavior on experiments and analysis through STAR-CD in using about behavior analysis of the smoke. Kerosene of 3L in using on the experimental garden of 30cm in diameter same applies to heat release rate(HRR), buoyant force by Plume can be calculated at a rate of 1m/s. The result of experiment in average of velocity were 0.29m/s, and interpreted result were 0.28m/s. Besides, it is proved by interpreted that behavior of smoke movement can be not observed in the experiment. After smoke is Plume increased, ceiling-jet in formation being descend in smoke layer will be more thick smoke layer, and then vertical wall is collapsed in formation of wall-jet being descend. It is defined that smoke layer is more thick through descending course in wall-jet and ceiling-jet.

Turbulent flow characteristics of a lean-burn engine were qualitatively studied in order to obtain the optimum design parameters. 3-D lean-burn model engine was made up of an intake port, an intake valve and a cylinder. Computational grids were generated using PATRAN which was a FEM grid-generation software and numerical calculations were performed using STAR-CD. The predicted results showed that swirl and tumble structures were significantly changed by the valve lifts.

Thermo-mechanical simulation of the Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) processes was performed for the AA5083-H18 sheets, utilizing commercial Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Volume Method (FVM) which are based on Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations, respectively. The Lagrangian explicit dynamic FEM code, PAM-CRASH, and the Eulerian Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) FVM code, STAR-CD, were utilized to understand the effect of pin geometry on weld strength and material flow under the unsteady state condition. Using FVM code, material flow pattern near the tool boundary was analyzed to explain the weld strength difference between the weld by cylindrical pin and the weld by triangular pin, while the frictional energy concept using the FEM code had limitation to explain the weld strength difference.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to reduce number of experiments. The CFD tools are widely used for engine design and flow pattern analysis to reduce experiments. In this study the performance of a PEMFC single cell was analyzed by using STAR-CD, product of CD-ADAPCO. The effect of cell design and flow pattern on the performance of a PEMFC was analyzed with the 3-D simulation. As a result the performance of rectangular cell was the higher than that of square cell, while the flow direction scarcely affected on the performance of a PEMFC. Also the current density according to different excess ratio of air flow rate was compared and analyzed. The difference between maximum and minimum current density of flip-flow was lower than that of co-flow.
