This study describes the effect of upstream curved pipe on internal flow characteristics ball valve. Continuity and three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation have been used as governing equations for the numerical analysis. The upstream curved pipe - ball valve model was assumed that it is used for Alaska pipeline project which was planned to provide reliable transportation of natural gas from ANS to Alaska-Yukon border. Therefore the characteristics of pipe and operating condition of pipeline were from report of Alaska pipeline project. The three curvature and three location of upstream curved pipe were analyzed. The results shows that there are typical flow patterns at ball valve and the upstream curved pipe makes some differences to the internal flow of ball valve.

감압밸브에서 발생하는 급격한 압력저하는 강한 소음원으로 작용하여 배관을 따라 압축성 압력섭동을 전파시키며, 이는 음향유기진동의 가진원으로 작용한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 감압밸브가 있는 배관 시스템에서 곡관에 의한 압축성 압력섭동의 저감 효과를 확인할 수 있는 수치기법을 개발하였다. 배관 내 밀도 변화에 의한 음향파 성분을 모사하기 위해 고정밀 해석기법인 비정상 압축성 대와류모사 기법을 적용하였으며, 아격자 모델로는 Smagorinsky-Lilly 모델을 적용하였다. 배관을 따라 전파되는 압축성 압력섭동 성분을 유동장 정보로부터 추출하기 위하여 파수-주파수 분석을 수행하였으며, 곡관을 기준으로 상류방향 배관과 하류방향 배관의 벽면 압력을 활용하였다. 이를 통해 평면파 성분과 n=1에 해당하는 모드 성분이 하류 방향을 따라 강하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며, 곡관을 전후로 전체 음향파워가 3 dB 저감되는 것을 확인함으로써 곡관에 의한 압축성 압력섭동 저감 효과를 확인하였다.

The mear field structure of round turbulent jets with initially asymmetric velocity distributions is investigated experimentally. Experiments are carried out using a constant temperature hot-wire anemometry system to measure streamwise velocity in the jets. The measurements are undertaken across the jet at various streamwise stations in a range starting from the jet exit plane and up to a downstream location of twelve diameters. The experimental results include the distributions of mean and instantaneous velocities, vorticity field, turbulence intensity, and the Reynolds shear stresses. The asymmetry of the jet exit plane was obtained by using circular cross-section pipes with a bend upstream of the exit. There pipes used here include a straight pipe, and 90 and 160 degree-bend pipes. Therefore, at the upstream of the upstream of the pipe exit, secondary flow through the bend mean streamwise velocity distribution could be controlled by changing the curvature of pipes. The jets into the atmosphere have two levels of initial velocity skewness in addition to an axisymmetric jet from a straight pipe. In case of the curved pipe, a six diameter-long straight pipe section follows the bend upstream of the exit. The Reynolds number based on the exit bulk velocity is 13,400. The results indicate that the near field structure is considerably modified by the skewness of an initial mean velocity distribution. As the skewness increases, the decay rate of mean velocity at the centerline also increases.
