In the present study, a transient incompressible viscous turbulent flow is simulated for the automotive torque converter with moving mesh technique. For the analysis, entire torque converter flow passages are modeled. Computed torque ratio, capacity factor and efficiency show a good agreement with the experiment data. The flow instabilities characterized by back-flow and wake etc. appeared in some cascade passages are shown to be Propagating along tangential direction. These flow patterns are mainly influenced by the pump and turbine blade passing and can't be predicted through conventional steady simulation with a mixing plane approach. The understanding of the unsteady flow characteristics in a torque converter achieved in the present study may lead to the optimal design of a torque converter.

This article provides a time-resolved characterisation of the wind field in a recently-commissioned, downdraft outflow simulator at The University of Western Ontario. A large slot jet approach to physical simulation was used. The simulator performance was assessed against field observations from a 2002 downdraft outflow near Lubbock, Texas. Outflow wind speed records were decomposed according to classical time series analysis. Length scales, characterising the coarse and fine flow structure, were determined from the time-varying mean and residual components, respectively. The simulated downdraft outflow was approximately 1200 times smaller in spatial extent than the 2002 Lubbock event.

Tumble or swirl flow is used adequately to promote mixing of air and fuel in the cylinder and to enlarge turbulent intensity in the late time of compression stroke. However, since in-cylinder flow is a kind of transient state with rapid flow variation, that is, non-steady state flow, swirl or tumble flow has not been analyzed sufficiently and not been recognized whether they are available for combustion theoretically yet. In the investigation of intake turbulent characteristics using PIV method, different flow characteristics were showed according to SCV figures. SCV installed engine had higher vorticity, turbulent strength by fluctuation and turbulent kinetic energy than a baseline engine, especially around the wall and lower part of the cylinder. Consequently, as swirl flow was added to existing tumble flow, it was found that fluctuation component increased and flow energy was conserved effectively through the experiment.

A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been being developed for the realistic analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. The CUPID code development was motivated from very practical needs, including the analyses of a downcomer boiling, a two-phase flow mixing in a pool, and a two-phase flow in a direct vessel injection system. The CUPID code adopts a two-fluid, three-field model for two-phase flows, and the governing equations are solved over unstructured grids with a semi-implicit two-step method. This paper presents an overview of the CUPID code development and assessment strategy. It also presents the code couplings with a system code, MARS, and, a three-dimensional reactor kinetics code, MASTER.

SYSRAN code를 사용하여 고리 1호기의 중기배관파열사고를 분석하였다. SYSRAN code는 중성자출력과 열선속계산은 각각 점근사 중성자 운동방정식과 집중정수 모형을 이용하고 냉각수 계통 과도현상에 대해서는 전 계통을 균일한 압력으로 취급하여 질량 및 에너지 평형방정식을 이용하여 계산한다. 사고 결과를 심각하게 만드는 노심상태로 부냉각재 온도계수가 커지는 노심말기와 증기발생기의 유체함량이 가장 많은 고온 정지상태를 호기조건으로 하여, 격납용기외부의 가장 큰 배관면적인 1.4f $t^2$ 크기의 증기배관이 파열되었을때 Moody critical flow model에 따라 증기가 방출된다고 가정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 노심의 최대 열선속은 사고후 60초에 정상상대의 38%로서 FSAR의 26%에 비해 높은 값을 나타냈으나 모든 과도현상의 경향은 FSAR의 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 민감도 조사결과 이 사고는 냉각재밀도 계수와 노심 하부공간혼합인자에 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났다. B bank중 한 개의 RCCA가 완전인출 상태에서 노심에 삽입되지 않았다고 가정했을 경우의 FSAR 분석결과인 $F_{$\Delta$H}$를 3.66으로 Fz를 1.55로 하여 DNBR을 계산해 본 결과, 최소 DNBR은 1.62가 되어 핵연료의 손상은 예상되지 않았다. 점근사중성자 운동방정식, 집중 정수모형 및 질량과 에너지평형 방정식을 이용한 계통 과도 현상모델은 발전소 전 계통의 과도 현상의 경향을 연구하는데 적합한 것으로 밝혀졌다.구하는데 적합한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

In this paper, computer simulations of the physical Phenomena occurring in the arc region before and after current zero were carried out to evaluate the dielectric recovery characteristics of two types of double-flow nozzles. A commercial CFD Program "PHOENICS" is used for the simulation and the user-coded subroutines to consider the arcing phenomena were added to this program by the authors. The computed results were verified by the comparison with the test results presented by the research group of BBC. In order to investigate the state of the arc region after current zero, the simulation was carried out with four steps. They are cold gas flow analysis, steady state arc simulation, transient arc simulation before current zero, transient hot gas flow simulation after current zero. The semi-experimental arc radiation model is adapted to consider the radiation energy transport and Prandtl′s mixing length model is employed as the turbulence model. The electric field and the magnetic field were calculated with the same grid structure used for the simulation of the flow field. The streamer criterion was introduced to evaluate the dielectric recovery characteristics after current zero. Compared with the results obtained by assuming the current zero state in the former studies, it has been found that the results obtained by considering the state before current zerowere more accurate.

Coalescence process of binary immiscible fluid mixtures having bimodal size distributions, prepared by mixing two pre-sheared samples at different shear rates, ${\gamma}_{pre1}\;and\;{\gamma}_{pre2}$, under shear flow at a final shear rate, ${\gamma}_f$, are examined by transient shear stress measurements and microscopic observations in comparison with the results for simply pre-sheared samples having narrow size distributions (unimodal distribution samples). Component fluids are a silicone oil (PDMS) and a hydrocarbon-formaldehyde resin (Genelite) and their viscosities are 14.1 and 21.0 $pa{\cdot}sec$ at room temperature $(ca.\;20^{\circ}C)$, respectively. The weight ratio of PDMS: Genelite was 7:3. Three cases, $({\gamma}_{pre1}=7.2sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=12.0sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=2.4sec^{-1}),\;({\gamma}_{pre1}=0.8sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=4.0sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=2.4sec^{-1}),\;and\;({\gamma}_{pre1}=7.2sec^{-1},\;{\gamma}_{pre2}=12.0^sec^{-1}\;and\;{\gamma}_f=7.2sec^{-1})$ the first case, transient shear stress did not show any significant difference but domains larger than the initial state are observed at short times. In the latter cases, there exist undershoot of shear stress, reflecting existence of deformed large domains, which is confirmed by the direct observation. It is concluded that coalescence between large and small domains more frequently occur than coalescence between the domains with similar size in the bimodal distribution samples.

아산화질소/에탄올 추진제 조합을 사용하는 50 N급 추력기 분사기 인접부에서 shadowgraph 기법을 사용하여 연소 유동장을 가시화하였다. 설계 작동조건에서 폭발성 점화가 일어났으며, 급격히 팽창하는 연소가스에 의해 순간적으로 소염되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 최초 점화로부터 약 83 ms 뒤 추진제 분무는 재점화 되었으며, 그로부터 약 23 ms 후 화염이 안정화되는 것이 관찰되었다. 동일한 시퀀스에서 설계 조건보다 산화제 유량을 증가시킨 경우, 소염 현상 없이 완만한 연소 압력 과도 특성을 보였으며 최초 점화로부터 약 17 ms이내에 화염 안정화가 이루어졌다. 이는 점화 직전의 연소기 내부 미연 추진제 혼합 향상에 의한 것으로 생각되었다.
