In this paper, effects of inlet shape on the performance of a submerged cargo pump were numerically studied using a commercial CFD code CFX. The inlet shape, especially the gap between pump and suction well, is an important parameter in a point of view of performances of submerged cargo pump due to its effects on the residual and also hydraulic performance of the pump, respectively. To know the optimized gap, the overall performance degradations were calculated with the gap. In addition to that, the flow field through the gap was investigated to explain the effect of velocity non-uniformity on the performance of the pump impeller.

In order to suggest the methodology for achieving anti-vortex device within multi pump intake well, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were conducted for two alternative suggestions. Multi-intake sump model with anti-vortex device basins were designed and the characteristics of submerged vortex were investigated in the flow field by numerical simulation. From the results of simulations, to install the horizontal plate and vertical cross plates within basins were effective for preventing air-induction vortex.

One of commonly physical phenomena encountered in pump sump systems in which its significant influence to the hydraulic performance of pump system plays an important role in the field of fluid engineering, is the appearance of free surface and submerged vortices. In this paper, a study of the vortices behavior and their formative mechanism of asymmetry is considered in this paper by using numerical approach. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and k-omega Shear Stress Transport turbulence model used to describe the properties of turbulent flows, in company with VOF multiphase model, are implemented by Fluent code with multi-block structured grid system. In the numerical simulation, the calculated elevation of air-water interface and vortex core contours are used to classify visually surface vortices as well as submerged vortices. It is shown that the free surface vortex is identified by the concavity of liquid region from the free surface and swirling flow at that own plane. To investigate the distinctive behavior of these vortices corresponding to each given flow rate at the same water level, some numerical testing of them are considered here in such a manner that the flow pattern of surface vortex are obtained similarly to the obtained results from experiment. Furthermore, the influence due to the change of grid refinement and the variation of depth of the concavity are also considered in this paper. From that, these influential factors will be implemented to design a good pump sump with higher performance in the future.

Vortex and swirl occurring in a pump suction intake sump normally reduce the performance and disturb the safe operation of the circulation water pump in thermal power plants. This paper presents a case study of one particular intake sump design via a CFD analysis and a hydraulic model testing. The physical experiments and numerical analysis were performed under two flow and three level variation conditions. The vortex patterns around the pump suction pipe have been predicted by a commercial CFD code with the k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The model tests were conducted on a 1/10 model for a practical intake sump. The location, number and general pattern of the free surface vortex and submerged vortex predicted by CFD simulation were found to be a good agreement with those observed in the model testing.

발전소의 주요시설 중 발전 시스템 냉각용으로 사용되는 순환수는 순환수 취수부(Circulation Water Intake Basin)를 통해 공급된다. 순환수 취수부 중 흡입수조(Pump Sump)에서 발생하는 다양한 형태의 와류는 순환수펌프(Circulation Water Pump) 및 관로에 악영향을 미친다. 특히, 공기의 흡입을 동반한 자유표면 와류는 진동, 소음, 공동현상 등을 발생시켜 순환수펌프의 성능 저하, 관로의 손상을 일으키며 발전이 중단되는 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 수리모형 실험을 통해 순환수 취수부에 대한 수리특성을 반드시 확인하고, 와류 발생 시 와류를 제어할 수 있는 적절한 와류제어장치(Anti Vortex Device)를 적용하여 원활한 발전소 운영이 가능하도록 해야 한다. 자유표면 와류 저감을 위해 와류제어장치 중커튼월(Curtain Wall)을 사용하는 것이 일반적이며, 자세한 내용은 American National Standard for Pump Intake Design에서 기술하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 리비아 Tripoli West 4×350 MW 발전소의 순환수 취수부를 대상으로 하였으며, 실제 운영조건을 적용하고, 수리모형 실험을 통해 순환수 취수부 중 흡입수조에서 발생하는 와류제어장치의 와류저감 효과를 분석하였다. 또한, 수중와류 제어를 위해 플로어 스플리터(floor splitter)는 기본적으로 적용하였고, 자유표면에서 발생하는 와류제어를 위해 새로운 형태인 컬럼 커튼월(Column Curtain Wall)을 추가적으로 적용하여 효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 적용되었던 커튼월에 새로 개발한 컬럼 커튼월을 추가적으로 적용하여 수리특성을 분석한 결과, 균일한 흐름이 형성되면서 와류가 제어되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 순환수펌프 관로 내에서 발생하는 와류각도는 ANSI/HI 9.8의 설계기준인 5° 이하로 나타나 흐름의 안정성을 확인하였다.

The Samcheonpo ocean small hydropower plant (SHP) has a special feature of using marginal hydraulic head of circulating water system of fossil fuel power plant as a power source and having the characteristics of general hydropower generation and tidal power generation as well. Also, it contributes to reducing green house gases and developing clean energy source by recycling circulating water energy otherwise dissipated into the ocean. The efficiency of small hydropower plant is directly affected by effective head and flow rate of discharged water. Therefore, the efficiency characteristics of ocean hydropower plant are analyzed with the variation of water level and flow rate of discharged water, which is based on the accumulated operation data of the Samcheonpo hydropower plant. After the start of small hydropower plant operation, definite rise of water level was observed. As a result of flow pattern change from free flow to submerged flow, the instability of water surface in overall open channel is increased but it doesn't reach the extent of overflowing channel or having an effect on circulation system. Performance evaluation result shows that the generating power and efficiency of small hydropower exceeds design requirements in all conditions. Analysis results of CWP's water flow rate verify that the amount of flowing water is measured less and the highest efficiency of small hydropower plant is achieved when the effective head has its maximum value. In conclusion, efficiency curve derived from water flow rate considering tidal level shows the best fitting result with design criteria curve and it is verified that overall efficiency of hydropower system is satisfactory.

증기를 발생시켜 터빈(turbine)을 회전시키는 화력 및 원자력 발전 계통에서 냉각시설은 필수적인 구조물이며, 냉각수 순환 계통은 일반적으로 해수를 취수하여 발전소 내의 복수기까지 유입시켜 증기와 열 교환 후 다시 외해로 배출시키는 형태를 취하고 있다. 최근 냉각수 취 배수 방식을 표층 취 배수 방식이 아닌 심층 취 배수 방식으로 변경하고 있는데, 기존 원전의 재순환 온도에 대한 영향을 최소화 하고, 온배수 방류시 밀도차로 인한 부력으로 온배수 혼합효과를 높여 온배수에 의한 환경피해 범위를 최소화하기 위해서이다. 특히, 하절기에 저층의 저온 냉각수를 취수할 수 있다는 이점 때문에 향후 계획되는 발전소들도 심층 취 배수 방식을 도입할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 원자력 발전소의 냉각시설 중 심층 취 배수 구조물의 입구 주변을 3차원 전산유체역학 코드인 $FLOW-3D^{(R)}$로 모사하여 그 흐름특성을 분석하였다. 취수구(intake)의 경우 연직취수 조건에서 유속 덮개(Velocity cap), 배수구(diffuser)의 경우 방류수의 분사방향에 변화를 주어 모의하였으며, 그 결과 취수구의 경우 유속덮개에 의한 연직 유속성분의 현저한 감소로 인한 어류 유입영향을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 배수구 희석효과는 Jirka 및 Harleman이 제시한 2차원 온배수 프룸(frume)과 잘 일치 하는 것으로 나타났다.
