본 연구는 다양한 조건하에서 모세관력 불균형에 의해 구동되는 수평 표면 위의 액적 거동을 수치해석적으로 연구한 것이다. 액적 거동은 자체개발 코드(PowerCFD)를 사용하여 수치해석하였다. 수치해석에 사용된 코드는 보존적인 압력기반 유한체적방법에 기초한 비정렬 셀 중심 방법 및 VOF 방법에 체적포착법인 CICSAM을 채용하고 있다. 상세한 액적 거동이 다양한 초기 액적형상, 접촉각 및 표면장력(또는 Bond 수)의 조건하에서 얻어졌다. 또한 액적 이송 메커니즘이 액적 형상에 대한 수치해석 결과로부터 검토되었다.

유체이송 기술은 최근 마이크로 유체시스템 개발에서 핵심문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 외부동력을 사용하지 않고 액적을 이송시킬 수 있는 새로운 개념을 제안하고, 수치해석을 통해 증명하였다. 제안된 장치는 표면을 단순하게 친수성과 소수성 표면의 복합표면으로 구성하는 것이다. 새로운 개념을 입증하기 위한 수치해석은 보존적인 압력기반 유한체적방법에 기초한 비정렬 셀 중심 방법 및 VOF 방법에 체적포착법인 CICSAM을 채용하고 있는 자체개발 코드(PowerCFD)를 사용하였다. 연구결과 본 연구에서 제안된 개념이 마이크로 유체시스템에서 액적이송에 대해 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

A numerical study of subcooled onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) in a micro-channel under pulsed heating using volume of fluids (VOF) model was conducted. The VOF simulation adopting the existing experimental condition is compared to the experimental data. The time to ONB was determined when the void fraction at the microheater surface first appeared. The theoretical superheat for homogeneous nucleation relatively predicts the transient ONB results of convective flow of water well based on local temperature distribution. It was found that once heat load increases at the heater, transient flow boiling starts to occur faster.

The mold filling process has been a central issue in the development of numerical methods to solve the casting processes. A mold filling which is inherently transient free surface fluid flow, is important because the quality of casting highly depends on such phenomenon, Most of the existing numerical schemes to solve mold filling process have severe limitations in time step restrictions or Courant criteria since explicit time integration is used. Therefore, a large computation time is required to analyze casting processes. In this study, the well known SOLA-VOF method has been modified implicitly to simulate the mold filling process. Solutions to example filling problems show that the proposed method is more efficient in computation time than the original SOLA -VOF method.

Dynamic characteristics of the short circuit mode are investigated using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method. When the initial molten drop volume, contact area and wire feed rate are given, rate change of the molten bridge profiles, pressure and velocity distributions are predicted. The electromagnetic force with proper boundary conditions are included in the formulation to consider the effects of welding current. It is found that the molten metal is transferred to the weld pool mainly due to the pressure difference caused by the curvatures in the initial stage, and electromagnetic force becomes dominant factor in the final stage of short circuit transfer. Necking occurs at the contact position between the molten drop and weld pool, and the initial molten drop volume and welding current have significant effects on break-up time.

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.

A general purpose program for computing 3-D flows has been extended for two-phase flows with topologically complex interfaces. The 3-D interfaces are tracked by employing a coupled level set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method which not only can calculate an interfacial curvature accurately but also can achieve mass conservation well. The program has been tested through the computations of bubbles rising in a liquid. The numerical results are found to compare well with the results reported in the literature.

Dam-break flows, a type of very shallow gravity-driven flow, are substantially influenced by resistance forces due to viscous friction and turbulence. Assuming turbulent flow, the main focus of this study is to validate the increase of drag forces caused by surface roughness and especially turbulence intensity. A Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) approach with the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is used for this study, where the free surface motion is captured by using a volume of fluid(VOF) method. Surface roughness effects are considered through the law of the wall modified for roughness, while the initial turbulence intensity which determines the lowest level of turbulence in the flow domain of interest is used for the variation of turbulence intensity. It has been found that the numerical results at higher turbulence intensities show a reasonably good agreement with the physical aspects shown by two different dam-break experiments without and with the impact of water.

In the present study, a numerical analysis on the sloshing in a tank with the harmonic motion was investigated. A VOF method was used for two-phase flows inside the sloshing tank and a source term of the momentum equation was applied for the harmonic motion. This numerical method was verified by comparing its results with the available experimental data. The sloshing in a tank causes the instability of the fluid flows and the fluctuation of the impact pressure on the tank. By these phenomena of the tank sloshing, the sloshing problems such as the failure and the noise of system can be generated. For the reduction of these sloshing problems, the various baffles such as the horizontal/vertical plate baffles and the porous baffles inside the tank are installed. With the installations of these baffles, the characteristics of the liquid behavior in the sloshing tank, the impact pressure on the wall, the amplitude of the free surface near the wall and the sloshing noise were numerically analyzed.

The sloshing tank causes the instability of the fluid flows and the fluctuation of the impact pressure by the liquid on the tank. These flow characteristics inside the sloshing tank can generate the uncomfortable sloshing noise. In the present study, a numerical analysis for the reduction of a fuel tank sloshing noise was performed. To simulate the flow characteristics in a sloshing tank with partially filled liquid, a VOF method was used for interfacial flows by applying a momentum source term for the sloshing motion in a non-inertial reference frame. This numerical method was verified by comparing its results with the available experimental data. For the reduction of the sloshing noise, the horizontal and vertical baffles and porous media inside a sloshing tank were considered and numerically analyzed in the present study. For various installations of these baffles and porous media, the characteristics of the liquid behavior in the sloshing tank were obtained along with the impact pressure on the wall and the height of the free surface along the wall. These basic results can be used for the design of the actual vehicular fuel tank with the reduced sloshing noise.
