  • 육상 수조식 양식장은 해수를 끌어들여 어류를 기르는 데 사용된다. 본 연구는 사각 수조 내의 다양한 기하학적 관계와 유동에 대한 유동 특성을 도출하였다. 수치해석은 유한 체적법과 SIMPLE 기수법은 수치해석법을 활용하였으며, 비압축성 유체와 3차원 표준 $k-{\varepsilon}$난류 모델을 적용하였다. 속도 분포, 온도 분포에 대한 정보를 확보하였다. 실험과 수치해석의 결과가 정성적으로 잘 일치함을 보였다. 양식장의 깊이가 증가함에 따라 바닥 쪽의 유동이 더욱 안정됨을 확인하였다. 이는 각종 배설물 등의 정체현상으로 연결될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 수조내의 온도는 유입구의 초기 온도가 중요하며, Re 수가 증가할수록 온도는 상승하고 유입구의 반대 벽면 근처의 온도가 유입구 보다 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

  • This study investigated the characteristics of spray generated by a liquid coaxial swirl injector used in a combustor of the liquid rocket engine. The linear stability analysis considered long and short wave was introduced in liquid sheet breakup. Through the hydrodynamic analysis the initial liquid sheet thickness spray angle and injection velocity were predicted. To evaluate the effect of turbulence model standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ and RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ model were applied to numerical calculation and it was known that RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was more applicable to predict spray characteristics. On the basis of this evaluation validation of the developed model was performed with swirl injector installed in LPRE and the predicted results of breakup length, spray angle, and SMD agreed well with experiments qualitatively and quantitatively.

  • The steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the internal flow fields characteristics according to wind tunnel contraction type. The turbulence model used in this study is a realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ modified from the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. As a results, the distribution of the axial mean velocity components along the central axis of the flow model is very similar to the ASME and BE types, and the cubic and cosine types. When the flow passes through the interior space of the analytical models, the flow resistance at the inlet of the plenum chamber is the largest at BS type contraction, but the smallest at cubic type contraction. The boundary layer thickness is the smallest in the cosine type contraction as the axial distance increases. The maximum turbulent kinetic energy in the test section is the smallest in the order of the contraction of cubic type and cosine type. Comprehensively, cubic type contraction is the best choice for wind tunnel performance, and cosine type contraction can be the next best solution.

  • In order to analyze the heat transfer phenomena in the plasma flames, a mathematical model describing heat and fluid How in an electric arc has been developed and used to predict heat transfer from the arc to the steel bath in a DC Electric Arc Furnace. The arc model takes the separate contributions to the heat transfer from each involved mechanism into account, i.e. radiation, convection and energy transported by electrons. The finite volume method and a SIMPLE algorithm are used for solving the governing MHD equations, i.e., conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy together with the equations describing a standard $k-\varepsilon$ model for turbulence. The model predicts heat transfer for different currents and arc lengths. Finally these calculation results can be used as a useful insight into plasma phenomena of the industrial-scale electric arc furnace. from these results, it can be concluded that higher arc current and longer arc length give high heat transfer.

  • Heat transfer and flow characteristics in a pipe in which the rotating cutting tool for boring a underground pipe without digging were considered in this study. The amount of heat generation due to the friction between the rotating cutter and pipe wall, mixing (low of air and water injected to cool down are the two important factors to design the boring machine Computational fluid dynamics analysis using the Eulerian mixture model and the standard $\kappa-\varepsilon$ turbulence model was used to analyze the complex phenomena in a pipe during the process. Results show that pipe wall temperature decreased with increasing the cooling water inlet velocity. it is also shown that pipe wail temperature was lowered when the cutter rotation speed was increased until 600 rpm. There was no further cooling effect over 600 rpm.

  • A computer code has been developed to simulate three-dimensional viscous flows over a ship-stern. Semi-elliptic forms of Reynolds equations are adopted and numerically generated body-fitted coordinate systems are used to resolve complex geometries of the ship-hull. A standard form of $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model is adopted for evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. Turbulent flows on a model with 3:1 elliptic sections and the SSPA-720 container ship model are predicted by using the code. Calculated pressure distributions of hull-surfaces and mean velocity distributions are generally in good agreements with measured values in wind-tunnels. But turbulent kinetic energies tend to be over-estimated near the stern in comparison with measured data.

  • Concerns for energy conservation, environmental pollution, and the fact that organic wastes account for a major portion of our waste materials, have created the interest of biogas, which usually contains about 60 to 70 percent methane, 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide, and other gases, including ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and other noxious gases. Cyclone combustors are used for homing a wide range of fuels such as low calorific value gas, waste water, sludge. coal, etc. The 3-dimensional swirling flow, combustion and emission in a tangential inlet cyclone incinerator under different inlet conditions are simulated using a standard k-s turbulence model and ESCRS (Extended Simple Chemically-Reacting System) model. The commercial code Phoenics Ver.3.4 was used for the present work. The main parameters considered in this work are inlet velocity and air to fuel ratio. The results showed that the change of operating conditions had an influence on the shape and size of recirculation zones, mixture fraction and axial velocity which are important factors for combustion efficiency and emission behavior. The application of this kind of computer program seams to be promising as a potential tool for the optimum design of a cyclone combustor with low emission.

  • A computer code for solving the Reynolds averaged full Navier-Stokes equations has bent developed for analysis of gas and steam turbine cascade flows with the option of using one of two types of turbulence model. One is the Baldwin-Lomax model and the other is standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical integration is based on the explicit four stage Runge-Kutta scheme and finite volume method. To be verified, the resulting code is applied to VKI turbine cascade and compared with the previous experimental results. Finally, the flowfield around a steam turbine cascade is analyzed. Comparisons with experimental data show that present numerical scheme is an accurate Navier-Stokes solver and can give very good predictions for both gas and steam turbine cascade flow.

  • 3-D numerical studies are performed to investigate the effect of the trunk height and approaching air velocities on the pressure distribution of notchback road vehicle. For this purpose, the models of test vehicle with four different trunk heights are introduced and PHOENICS, a commercial CFD code, is used to simulate the flow phenomena and to estimate the values of pressure coefficients along the surface of vehicle. The standard k-$\xi$ model is adopted for the simulation of turbulence. The numerical results say that the height variation of trunk makes almost no influence on the distribution of the value of pressure coefficient along upper surface but makes very strong effects on the rear surface. That is, the value of pressure coefficient becomes smaller as the height is increased along the rear surface and the bottom surface. Approaching air velocity make no differences on pressure coefficients. Through the analysis of pressure coefficient on the vehicle surfaces one tried to assess aerodynamic drag and lift of vehicle. The pressure distribution on the rear surface affected more on drag and lift than pressure distribution on the front surface of the vehicle does. The increase of trunk height makes positive effects on the lift decrease but negative effects on drag reduction.
