In the present study, the model-scale Propeller Open Water (POW) tests for the propeller of 176K bulk carrier and 8600TEU container ship were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In order to solve the incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RaNS) equations were employed as the governing equations. The γ-Reθ(gamma-Re-theta) transition model combined with the SST k-ωturbulence model was introduced to describe the laminar-turbulence transition considering the low Reynolds number of model-scale. Firstly, the flow simulation developing over a flat plate was performed to verify the transition modeling, in which the wall shear stresses were compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, to investigate the effect of the model, the CFD simulation for the POW test was performed and the simulated propeller performance was validated through comparison with the experiment conducted at Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO).

교반기에서의 유동 특성은 광범위한 산업 분야에서 매우 유용하다. 일반적으로 교반되는 용기에서의 유동 패턴, 전력 소비 및 혼합 시간은 임펠러의 설계뿐만 아니라 용기 형상 및 내부 구조에 달려 있다. 본 연구에서는 베플 형상과 임펠러의 상호 작용에 의해 생성되는 불안정하고 비정상상태의 복잡한 유동 특성 분석을 ANSYS FLUENT LES 난류 모델을 사용하여 수행하였다. Axial Flow 와 Radial Flow 두 가지 타입의 회전 임펠러와 3가지 베플의 형상 사이의 상호 작용과 영향을 전산유체역학(CFD)으로 예측 비교함으로써 교반 시 임펠러와 베플 주변에서의 유동 특성과 혼합 유동장에서 상대적으로 효율적인 경향을 보이는 설계 모델을 검증할 수 있었다.

In the current code design, the use of a uniform internal pressure coefficient of cooling towers as internal suction cannot reflect the 3D characteristics of flow field inside the tower body with different ventilation rate of shutters. Moreover, extreme weather such as heavy rain also has a direct impact on aerodynamic force on the internal surface and changes the turbulence effect of pulsating wind. In this study, the world's tallest cooling tower under construction, which stands 210m, is taken as the research object. The algorithm for two-way coupling between wind and rain is adopted. Simulation of wind field and raindrops is performed iteratively using continuous phase and discrete phase models, respectively, under the general principles of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Firstly, the rule of influence of 9 combinations of wind speed and rainfall intensity on the volume of wind-driven rain, additional action force of raindrops and equivalent internal pressure coefficient of the tower body is analyzed. The combination of wind velocity and rainfall intensity that is most unfavorable to the cooling tower in terms of distribution of internal pressure coefficient is identified. On this basis, the wind/rain loads, distribution of aerodynamic force and working mechanism of internal pressures of the cooling tower under the most unfavorable working condition are compared between the four ventilation rates of shutters (0%, 15%, 30% and 100%). The results show that the amount of raindrops captured by the internal surface of the tower decreases as the wind velocity increases, and increases along with the rainfall intensity and ventilation rate of the shutters. The maximum value of rain-induced pressure coefficient is 0.013. The research findings lay the basis for determining the precise values of internal surface loads of cooling tower under extreme weather conditions.

논문에서는 상용급 가스터빈을 대상으로 해서 셰일가스를 연료로 공급할 때 유동 및 연소특성을 3-D 수치해석적 방법으로 구하였다. 이 때, Standard k-e 난류모델, 2단 메탄산화반응, Finite rate/Eddy dissipation 반응모델, DTRM 복사모델이 사용되었고, 기준조건(도시가스, PR 0.07)에서 출구 측에서 형성되는 온도는 이전 문헌 값과 비슷한 값을 보였다. 위 모델을 바탕으로 해서 연료조건으로 기존의 도시가스 외에 세 가지 셰일가스 조건(도시가스 대비 열량기준 80%, 90%, 105%)을 선정하였고, 각 연료조건에 대하여 세 가지 연료분사조건(PR=0.7, 0.9, 0.11)에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과, 모든 셰일가스 연료공급 조건에 대하여 도시가스 대비 온도 혹은 NOx 측면에서 연소안정화를 만족하였다. 또한 모든 조건에 대해서 PR이 증가할수록 출구측 평균온도는 일정했지만 NOx량은 증가하였다. 이는 파일럿비가 증가할수록 상대적으로 확산연소가 증가했기 때문이다.

Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) installed in the deep sea regions where stable and strong wind flows are abundant would have significantly improved energy production capacity. When designing FOWT, it is essential to understand the stability and motion performance of the floater. Water tank model tests are required to evaluate these aspects of performance. This paper describes a model test and numerical simulation for a 750-kW semi-submersible platform wind turbine model-II. In the previous model test, the 750-kW FOWT model-I suffered slamming phenomena from extreme wave conditions. Because of that, the platform freeboard of model-II was increased to mitigate the slamming load on the platform deck structure in extreme conditions. Also, the model-I pitch Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) of simulation had strong responses to the natural frequency region. Thus, the hub height of model-II was decreased to reduce the pitch resonance responses from the low-frequency response of the system. Like the model-I, 750-kW FOWT model-II was built with a 1/40 scale ratio. Furthermore, the experiments to evaluate the performance characteristics of the model-II wind turbine were executed at the same location and in the same environment conditions as were those of model-I. These tests included a free decay test, and tests of regular and irregular wave conditions. Both the experimental and simulation conditions considered the blade rotating effect due to the wind. The results of the model tests were compared with the numerical simulations of the FOWT using FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) code from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

분리막 모듈 내 스페이서는 용액의 원활한 흐름을 위한 공간 확보와 더불어 유체의 난류를 형성시키므로 농도분극화 현상을 감소시키고 막 표면에 축적되는 오염물을 용액 내로 혼합하여 높은 투과유속과 분리막 모듈을 장기간 운전하는데 도움을 준다. 본 연구에서는 분리막 모듈 내 원형, 십자형, 다이아몬드형 및 육각형 단면의 스페이서와 스페이서의 배열 각도, 용질 배제율 및 투과유속에 대한 농도 변화를 "COMSOL Multiphysics" 프로그램으로 수치 해석하여 최적화하였다. 4가지 형태의 스페이서 중에서 십자형 단면 스페이서를 포함한 모듈의 경우가 분리막 표면 농도를 가장 낮게 유지하였으며 스페이서의 배열 각도는 $30^{\circ}$가 효율적이었다. 스페이서가 없는 모듈 출구에서 분리막 표면의 농도는 입구보다 약 2.09배까지 증가하였으나 가장 효율적인 십자형 스페이서를 $30^{\circ}$로 배열할 경우 약 1.29배로서 최대 37% 낮았다. 또한 투과유속이 증가할수록 십자형 스페이서의 농도분극 감소효과는 급격히 증가하였다.

발사체가 대기 중에서 상승 비행 시 공기역학적 현상에 기인한 음향하중을 받는데 천음속 영역에서 그 영향이 커진다. 본 연구에서는 천음속 조건에서 해머헤드 발사체 외부에 작용하는 음향하중을 ��-ω SST 난류모델 기반 IDDES 법으로 해석하여 시간 평균 압력계수, 표면 압력섭동, 압력섭동 파워 스펙트럼을 분석하고 가용한 풍동실험 데이터와 비교하였다. IDDES 결과의 격자 의존성을 검토하였으며, 난류 스케일 분해가 가능한 적절한 계산격자를 사용한 경우 천음속 헤머헤드 발사체의 특징적인 유동 현상인 페어링 어깨에서의 유동 박리와 박리 유동의 후방 동체 재 부착, 보트 테일 후방에서의 높은 압력섭동을 공학적으로 유의미한 정확도로 예측 가능함을 확인하였다.

Most factories deal with toxic or flammable chemicals in their industrial processes. These hazardous substances pose a risk of leakage due to accidents, such as fire and explosion. In the event of chemical release, massive casualties and property damage can result; hence, quantitative risk prediction and assessment are necessary. Several methods are available for evaluating chemical dispersion in the atmosphere, and most analyses are considered neutral in dispersion models and under far-field wind condition. The foregoing assumption renders a model valid only after a considerable time has elapsed from the moment chemicals are released or dispersed from a source. Hence, an initial dispersion model is required to assess risk quantitatively and predict the extent of damage because the most dangerous locations are those near a leak source. In this study, the dispersion model for initial consequence analysis was developed with three-dimensional unsteady advective diffusion equation. In this expression, instantaneous leakage is assumed as a puff, and wind velocity is considered as a coordinate transform in the solution. To minimize the buoyant force, ethane is used as leaked fuel, and two different diffusion coefficients are introduced. The calculated concentration field with a molecular diffusion coefficient shows a moving circular iso-line in the horizontal plane. The maximum concentration decreases as time progresses and distance increases. In the case of using a coefficient for turbulent diffusion, the dispersion along the wind velocity direction is enhanced, and an elliptic iso-contour line is found. The result yielded by a widely used commercial program, ALOHA, was compared with the end point of the lower explosion limit. In the future, we plan to build a more accurate and general initial risk assessment model by considering the turbulence diffusion and buoyancy effect on dispersion.

Flows of water in the environment (e.g. in a river or estuary) generally occur in complex conditions. This complexity can hinder a general understanding of flows and their related sedimentary processes, such as erosion and deposition. To gain insight in simplified, controlled conditions, hydraulic flumes are a popular type of laboratory research equipment. Linear flumes use pumps to recirculation water. This isn't appropriate for the investigation of cohesive sediments as pumps can break fragile cohesive sediment flocs. To overcome this limitation, the rotating annular flume (RAF) was developed. While not having pumps, a side-effect is that unwanted secondary circulations can occur. To counteract this, the top and bottom lid rotate in opposite directions. Furthermore, a larger flume is considered better as it has less curvature and secondary circulation. While only a few RAFs exist, they are important for theoretical research which often underlies numerical models. Many of the first-generation of RAFs have come into disrepair. As new measurement techniques and models become available, there is still a need to research cohesive sediment erosion and deposition in facilities such as a RAF. New RAFs also can have the advantage of being automatic instead of manually operated, thus improving data quality. To further advance our understanding of cohesive sediment erosion and deposition processes, a large, automatic RAF (1.72 m radius, 0.495 m channel depth, 0.275 m channel width) has been constructed at the Hydraulic Laboratory at Chungnam National University (CNU), Korea. The RAF has the ability to simulate both unidirectional (river) and bidirectional (tide) flows with supporting instrumentation for measuring turbulence, bed shear stress, suspended sediment concentraiton, floc size, bed level, and bed density. Here we present the current status and future prospect of the CNU RAF. In the future, calibration of the rotation rate with bed shear stress and experiments with unidirectional and bidirectional flow using cohesive kaolinite are expected. Preliminary results indicate that the CNU RAF is a valuable tool for fundamental cohesive sediment transport research.
