The flotation performance of the induced gas flotation (IGF) machine is considerably influenced by geometric configurations of rotor and stator. The interaction of rotor and stator, which are the most important components in IGF, serves to mix the air bubbles. Thus, the understanding of flow characteristics and consequential analysis on the machine are essential for the optimal design of IGF. In this study, two-phase (water and air) flow characteristics in the forced-air mechanically stirred Dorr-Oliver flotation cell was investigated using ANSYS CFX. In addition, the void fraction and the velocity distributions are determined and presented with different blade configurations.

본 연구에서는 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동에 대한 수치적 연구를 제시한다. 먼저 다상유동 해석을 위해 표면장력에 대한 CSF(Continuum Surface Force) 모델 및 벽면부착 경계조건 모델을 비정렬격자계에 적합하도록 수치해석방법을 정립시키고, Myong(2009)이 개발한 비정렬격자계와 VOF 방법으로 체적포착법(volume capturing method)을 사용한 수치해석방법(코드)에 삽입하였다. 또한 본 수치해석방법을 사용하여 중력을 포함하여 어떤 외력도 존재하지 않고 오직 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 유동현상인 원통형 탱크의 바닥에 위치한 얕은 물풀(water pool)에 대해 물이 벽면을 적시는 경우와 적시지 않는 경우에 대해 수치해석 하였다. 연구결과, 본 수치해석방법은 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동 문제에 대한 유용성이 입증되었다.

In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube(throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. In the present study, the multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Two-dimensional geometry was considered with the quadrilateral-mashing scheme. The gas suction rate increases with increasing Motive flow circulating rate.

In this study, a flashing boiling phenomenon of pressurized water jet was numerically studied and validated against an experimental data in the literatures. The volume of fluid (VOF) technique was used to consider two-phase behavior of water, while the homogeneous relaxation model (HRM) model was used to provide the velocity of phase change. During the flashing boiling through a nozzle, a mach disk was observed near nozzle exit because of pressure drop resulting from two-phase under-expansion. The flashing jet structure, local distributions of temperature/vapor volume fraction/velocity, and position of the mach disk were examined as nozzle inlet temperature changed.

The current research focuses on the development of a numerical approach to forecast strongly subcooled flow boiling of FC-72 as the refrigerant in various vertical minichannel shapes for high-heat-flux cooling applications. The simulations are carried out using the Volume of Fluid method with the Lee phase change model, which revealed some inherent flaws in multiphase flows that are primarily due to an insufficient interpretation of shearlift force on bubbles and conjugate heat transfer against the walls. A user-defined function (UDF) is used to provide specific information about this noticeable effect. The influence of shape and the inlet mass fluxes on the flow patterns, heat transfer, and pressure drop characteristics are discussed. The computational results are validated with experimental measurements, where excellent agreements are found that prove the efficiency of the present numerical model. The findings demonstrate that the heat transfer coefficient decreases as the mass flux increases and that the constriction design improves the thermal performance by 24.68% and 10.45% compared to the straight and expansion shapes, respectively. The periodic constriction sections ensure good mixing between the core and near-wall layers. In addition, a slight pressure drop penalty versus the thermal transfer benefits for the two configurations proposed is reported.

Since the intake air of gas turbine engine of marine purpose contains water particles, inertial separator for separating the air and water particles are provided. Saw type and wave type separator are now used to separate inflow water particle from the gas. In this paper, the design parameters of saw type separator are studied by numerical simulations. Using the commercial CFD program, Star-CCM+, Lagrangian-Eulerian method was used to perform the analysis of two phase flow of the mist in the air. This method solves Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in Eulerian framework for the continuous phase, while solves equation of motion for individual particles in Lagrangian framework. Lagrangian multiphase method was applied to monitor the particles of different sizes and shapes and to verify collision between particles by chasing particles. Water particles were injected through injectors located at the inlet of the separator and escape mode was used which assumes that the particles attached on the surface of inertial separator were removed from the simulation, effectively escaping the solution domain. Through the numerical computations with the inlet condition of constant water particle size in the wetness fraction of 85%, efficiency of eliminating the water particle and the pressure drop between the inlet and outlet were examined.

토양 및 지하수의 오염문제가 심각해짐에 따라 오염물의 토양 및 지하수 내에서의 이동 특성에 관한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비용해성 흐름의 특성 및 그의 특성을 결정짓는 상대투수에 관한 기본적인 이해와 초음파가 상대투수에 미치는 영향에 관하여서도 고찰하였다. 실험 및 역해석의 결과로는 초음파가 오염물의 제거에 상당히 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났으며 상대투수의 특성도 크게 변화되는 것으로 나타났다. 변화량은 $(C_{10})^2$의 함수로 나타낼 수 있었으며 ECLIPSE 100을 사용하여 초음파가 오염 복원 및 상대투수의 변화에 관한 연구에 활용 될 수 있음이 고찰되었다.

3상으로 이루어진 다공성 매질 내에서 공기의 흐름을 확인하기 위해 실내시험과 수치해석 알고리즘의 비교분석을 하였다. 불포화 지반내의 유체의 흐름을 확인하는 연구는 이산화탄소 지중저장을 위한 안정성 예측을 위해 중요한 기초연구이다. 일반적으로 대기압에 노출되어 있는 지반공학적인 문제들은 3상 다공성 매질 내부에서 발생할 수 있는 공기압을 '0'으로 가정하고 해석하지만, 지중 1km 지점에서의 불포화토의 거동은 기체압력을 고려하여 지반의 변형과 연계해석이 필수적이다. 본 연구는 이러한 지중 깊숙한 곳에서 발생할 수 있는 불포화 지반의 거동을 해석하고자 공기압의 확산과 소산에 대한 수치해석과 실내배수시험을 비교분석하여 유한요소해석 알고리즘을 검증하고자 한다.

Algae boom (Red tide) in south coastal area of Korea has been appeared several times during a decade. If algae boom appears in the desalination plant, media filter and UF filter are clogged quickly, and the plant should be shutdown. In general, Algae can be removed from water by flotation better than by sedimentation, because of the low density of algal cell. The purpose of this study conducts the CFD simulation of DAF flotation basin to apply the design of the dissolved air flotation with ball filter in the Test Bed for SWRO desalination plant. In this study, Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model was applied to simulate the behavior of air bubbles and seawater. Density difference model and gravity were used. But de-sludge process and mass transfer between air bubbles and seawater were ignored. Main parameter is hydraulic loading rate which is varied from 20 m/hr to 27.5 m/hr. Geometry of flotation basin were changed to improve the DAF performance. According to the result of this study, the increase of hydraulic loading rate causes that the flow in the separation basin is widely affected and the concentration of air is increased. The flow pattern in the contact zone of flotation basin is greatly affected by the location of nozzle header. When the nozzle header was installed not the bottom of the contact zone but the above, the opportunity of contact between influent and recycle flow was increased.
