본 연구에서는 액체 추진제 로켓엔진의 연소기에 주로 사용되는 액체 동축 스월형 분사기의 분무특성을 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하여 분무 연소장을 계산하기위하여 개발된 KIVA의 환경에 적합하도록 유도하였다. 액막의 분열에는 선형 안정성 이론을 도입하여 장파와 단파의 영역을 모두 고려할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였고 점성이 고려된 수력학적 해석을 통해 초기의 액막 두께와 분무각 및 분사 속도를 예측하였다. 또한 개발된 분무 모델에 대한 난류 모델의 적합성을 평가하여 RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델이 적합함을 알았다. 이러한 모델의 평가를 바탕으로 액체로켓엔진에 장착되는 분사기에서 생산되는 분무의 특성을 실험 결과와 비교하였고, 분열 길이, 분무각 및 SMD가 정성적, 정량적으로 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate air-side convective heat transfer characteristics in a compact heat exchanger with circular tubes and continuous plate fins. Simulation results such as air velocity and temperature distributions are presented, and heat transfer coefficients are compared with previous experimental correlations. Three models of standard and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$, and Reynolds stress are applied for turbulence model applicability. Predicted heat transfer coefficient from the models of standard and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ are very close to those of the heat transfer correlations while there are relatively large difference, more than 17 percentage in the result from the Reynolds stress model. From the calculated results a correlation for Colburn j factor in the compact heat exchanger system is suggested.

A numerical study for performance analysis of a crossflow-type forced draft cooling tower has been performed based on the finite volume method with non-orthogonal body fitted, and non-staggered grid system. For solving the coupling problem between water and air, air enthalpy, moisture fraction, water enthalpy, and water mass balance equations are solved with Navier-Stoke's equations simultaneously. For the effect of turbulence, the standard k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is implied in this analysis. The predicted result of the present analysis is compared with the experimental data and the commercial software result to validate the present study. The predicted results show good agreement with the experimental data and the commercial software result. To investigate the influence of the cooling tower design parameters such as approach, range and wet bulb temperature, parametric studies are also performed.

The flow field of a 1 Ton/Day entrained-flow gasifier constructed in KIER was numerical simulate in this paper. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and simple procedure was used with the Primitive-Variable methods during computation. In order to find the influence factors of the flow field which may have great effects on coal gasification process inside gasifier, difference geometry parameters at various operating conditions were studied by simulation methods. The calculation results show that the basic shape of the flow field is still parabolic even the oxygen gas is injected from the off-axis position. There exist an obvious external recirculation zone with a length less than 1.0m and a small internal recirculation region nears the inlet part. The flow field inside the new gasifier is nearly similar as that of the old 0.5T/D gasifier at same position if the design of burner remains unchanged.

The computational fluid dynamics was carried out to evaluate turbulent models on the swirling flow of a gun-type gas burner(GTGB) according to the mesh size. The commercial SC/Tetra software was used for a steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis. In consequence, the velocity magnitude from the exit of a GTGB and the flowrate predicted by the turbulent models of MP k-${\varepsilon}$, Realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ and RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ agree with the results measured by an experiment very well. Moreover, the turbulent kinetic energy predicted by the turbulent model of standard k-${\varepsilon}$ with mesh type C only agrees with the experimental result very well along the radial distance. On the other hand, the detailed prediction of the information of swirling flow field near the exit of a GTGB at least needs a CFD analysis using a fairly large-sized mesh such as a mesh type C.

The aquaculture tank is used for breeding fish in sea water which was pumped up to land. The flow characteristics in the aquaculture were investigated with varying the tank geometry and flow rate. The numerical analysis has been employed for calculating the velocity and temperature distributions in a water tank of rectangular type. The finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm with 3-dimensional standard $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model were used for the numerical analysis. For comparison with experimental results, the PIV system was applied to visualize the flow patterns quantitatively. The numerical results showed good agreements with the experimental results. The mean velocity and temperature versus aquarium depth were represented for various circulating flow rates. Especially, the aquaculture environment is recommended that the aquarium depth has to be d=0.5 m, and this case is the condition of higher velocity and temperature in winter season.

표준 k-${\varepsilon}$, RNG k-${\omega}$ 그리고 k-${\omega}$ SST 난류 모형과 VOF (volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 사각형 광정위어를 통과하는 난류 흐름의 수면 변화와 유속분포를 수치모의 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한체적기법을 이용하여 해석하였으며, 두 개의 서로 다른 격자해상도에서 계산을 수행하여 수치해석 결과의 격자 민감도를 분석하였다. 계산 결과를 Kirkgoz et al. (2008)의 실험 결과 그리고 Moss (1972) 및 Zachoval et al. (2012) 무차원화된 실험값과 비교 분석하여 적용한 수치모형의 정확도를 평가하였다. 수치모의 결과는 사각형 개수로에 설치된 광정위어 흐름의 실험결과들을 합리적으로 예측하고 있으면 적용한 난류모형에 따라서 두 개의 주요 흐름분리 영역에서 계산 결과에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 표준 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형은 이들 두 개의 흐름분리영역의 크기를 과소산정하고 있으며, k-${\omega}$ SST 모형은 위어 전면부에서 발생하는 흐름분리 영역을 다소 과대 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형은 전반적으로 양호하게 두 흐름분리 영역을 예측하는 한편, k-${\omega}$ SST 모형은 위어 상류부 모서리에서 발생하는 박리거품의 발생 형태를 가장 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다.

At present the most popular turbulence models used for engineering solutions to flow problems are the $k-{\varepsilon}$ and Reynolds stress models. The shortcoming of these models based on the isotropic eddy viscosity concept and Reynolds averaging in flow fields of the type found in the field of Wind Engineering are well documented. In view of these shortcomings this paper presents the implementation of a non-linear model and its evaluation for flow around a building. Tests were undertaken using the classical bluff body shape, a surface mounted cube, with orientations both normal and skewed at $45^{\circ}$ to the incident wind. Full-scale investigations have been undertaken at the Silsoe Research Institute with a 6 m surface mounted cube and a fetch of roughness height equal to 0.01 m. All tests were originally undertaken for a number of turbulence models including the standard, RNG and MMK $k-{\varepsilon}$ models and the differential stress model. The sensitivity of the CFD results to a number of solver parameters was tested. The accuracy of the turbulence model used was deduced by comparison to the full-scale predicted roof and wake recirculation zone lengths. Mean values of the predicted pressure coefficients were used to further validate the turbulence models. Preliminary comparisons have also been made with available published experimental and large eddy simulation data. Initial investigations suggested that a suitable turbulence model should be able to model the anisotropy of turbulent flow such as the Reynolds stress model whilst maintaining the ease of use and computational stability of the two equations models. Therefore development work concentrated on non-linear quadratic and cubic expansions of the Boussinesq eddy viscosity assumption. Comparisons of these with models based on an isotropic assumption are presented along with comparisons with measured data.

Wall functions have been widely used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and can save significant computational costs compared to other near-wall flow treatment strategies. However, most of the existing wall functions were based on the asymptotic characteristics of near-wall flow quantities, which are inapplicable in complex and non-equilibrium flows. A modified wall function is thus derived in this study based on flow over a plate at zero-pressure gradient, instead of on the basis of asymptotic formulations. Turbulent kinetic energy generation ($G_P$), dissipation rate (${\varepsilon}$) and shear stress (${\tau}_{\omega}$) are composed together as the near-wall expressions. Performances of the modified wall function combined with the nonlinear realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are investigated in homogeneous equilibrium atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) and flow around a 6 m cube. The computational results and associated comparisons to available full-scale measurements show a clear improvement over the standard wall function, especially in reproducing the boundary layer flow. It is demonstrated through the two case studies that the modified wall function is indeed adaptive and can yield accurate prediction results, in spite of its simplicity.
