When a ship proceeds in confined water, like canal, the water ahead of ship is pushed by hull. This pushed water returns to the side and under the hull, and this returned water will make fluid velocity higher at the side and under the hull, compared to the case in the infinite water depth. Due to the higher velocity, the pressure under the hull will decrease, resulting in the ship drop. This phenomenon is called "ship squat" and ship squat will result in various marine accidents. In this paper, for predicting ship squat, numerical calculation was carried out using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. To confirm wave pattern profile around the ship, VOF(Volume of Fluid) method was applied. The calculated results were compared with other paper's results and empirical methods.

In this paper, a two-phase flow solver $HiFoam^{(R)}$ has been developed based on the $OpenFOAM^{(R)}$ to predict resistance of a ship in calm water. The VOF method of $OpenFOAM^{(R)}$ was reviewed and a simple flux limiter was introduced to enhance the robustness of the solver. The procedure for predicting ship motion was modified by introducing Quasi-Steady Fluid-Body Interaction (QS-FBI) with least square regression to improve the efficiency. Other minor factors were considered as well in terms of the efficiency and robustness. The HiFoam was applied to KCS and JBC simulations to validate its efficiency and accuracy by comparing the results to experimental data and STAR-CCM+. The $HiFoam^{(R)}$ was also applied to various ships and it showed good agreements to the experimental data.

A numerical model based on the SOLA-VOF method, which can calculate the transient free-surface configuration of the melt, has been developed in order to analyze melt flow in the investment mold. The computational results were compared with experimental results obtained from pure aluminum investment casting. Heat transfer analysis, with and without consideration of melt flow effect has been performed. It can be concluded that analysis of melt flow in the investment mold, provides the optimum conditions for gating design. It also enables more precise solidification simulation, since heat loss, while filling the thin and complex investment mold, plays an important role in determining the solidification sequence.

In the past, ports have been mainly developed in natural harbors but nowadays ports are built wherever they can be economically justified. Therefore, construction of breakwater in area that establishment of structure is disadvantageous is risen according to the change of conditions to the location for ports. In case of building gravity breakwater in such point, need that plane shapes of more reasonable section permitting wave overtopping is necessary. One of the earliest methods for solving unsteady incompressible flow including free surfaces is the MAC(Marker And Cell) method by Harlow and Welch (1965). Recently. VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to improve several drawbacks of MAC method is suggested by Hirt and Nichols(1981) and utilized extensively in fields of hydrodynamics. Wave overtopping phenomenon is simulated including wave breaking for permeable breakwater by numerical analysis and investigated features of wave overtopping behind structure using VOF method.

The flood impact pressure acting on a vertical wall resulting from a dam-breaking problem is simulated using a navier-Stokes(N-S) solver. The N-S solver uses Eulerian Finite Volume Method(FVM) along with Volume Of Fluid(VOF) method for 2-D incompressible free surface flows. A Split Lagrangian Advection(SLA) scheme for VOF method is implemented in this paper. The SLA scheme is developed based on an algorithm of Piecewise Linear Interface Calculation(PLIC). The coupling between the continuity and momentum equations is affected by using a well-known Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure-Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm. Several two-dimensional numerical simulations of the dam-breaking problem are presented to validate the accuracy and demonstrate the capability of the present algorithm. The significance of the time step and grid resolution are also discussed. The computational results are compared with experimental data and with computations by other numerical methods. The results showed a favorable agreement of water impact pressure as well as the global fluid motion.

Recently Oscillating Water Column (OWC) plants have been widely employed in wave energy conversion applications. It is necessary to investigate the chamber and optimize its shape parameters for maximizing air flow and energy conversion due to wave conditions. A 2D numerical wave tank based on a Fluent and VOF model is developed to generate the incident waves and is validated by theoretical solutions. The oscillating water column motion in the chamber predicted by the numerical method is compared with the available experimental data. Several geometric scales of the chamber are calculated to investigate the effect of the shape parameters on the oscillating water column motion and wave energy conversion.

It is essential to accurately predict the change in water level, velocity, and flow rate for each passage of the grit chamber according to the operating conditions of the pump. In this study, VOF multiphase flow analysis was performed, and the flow characteristics of the grit chamber were predicted. As a result of simulations, the sedimentation phenomenon after the entrance of the grit chamber channel is expected to occur on the side walls. When 6 channels are used, the average speed of the channels is about 52% of the design standard, and when 4 channels are used, the value increases to 74% of the design standard. The average water level in the channels tends to decrease as the flow velocity increases, and the water level in the absorption well with a larger flow rate is maintained lower than that in the absorption well with a smaller flow rate.

기체와 액체의 유동 및 고체의 변형을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 혼상류모델을 이용하여 파동장을 해석하는 경우, 서로 다른 비혼합의 유체 경계면의 시간변형을 고정도로 추적하는 것이 대단히 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 경계면의 추적에 있어서 VOF(Volume of Fluid)법으로 대표되는 경계면 형상의 재구축이 필요한 Geometrical-type의 경계추적법의 대신에 Algebraic-type의 경계추적법인 THINC(Tangent of Hyperbola for INterface-Capturing)법을 적용하였다. THINC법은 경계면에 대한 형상의 구축이 필요하지 않으므로 VOF법에 비해 비교적 간단한 알고리즘을 가지며, 기존의 Navier-Stokes solver에로 적용성이 용이한 장점을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 THINC법의 기본적인 이류특성을 고찰하고, 혼상류수치모델인 TWOPM(one-field Model for immiscible TWO-Phase flows)과 결합한 수치모델을 파동장에 적용하여 비혼합 혼상류에서 경계면의 추적능을 검토하였다. 그 결과, 혼상류의 경계면 추적에 있어서 상대적으로 간단한 알고리즘의 THINC법이 기존의 VOF법과 유사한 정도를 갖는 해석법이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 따라서 향후 기포의 연행을 동반하는 쇄파 및 쇄파력의 해석 등에 그의 적용성이 기대된다.

RANS 기반의 CFD 해석은 계산 효율성이 높아 실무 수리해석을 포함한 다양한 공학 분야에서 널리 적용되고 있으나 자유수면과 같이 이상유체흐름 해석에서 비물리적인 거동이 나타나는 문제가 오랫동안 제기되어 왔다. 일반적인 RANS 기반의 해석에서 적용되는 2 방정식 난류 모형은 단상유체를 대상으로 개발되어 유체 밀도의 급격한 변화가 발생하는 이상유체에서는 경계면에서 실제와 다른 높은 난류 에너지 생성을 모의한다. 최근 이를 해결하기 위해 개발된 방법 중의 하나인 부력 수정 난류 모형은 해안 분야에 적용되어 일부 적합성이 검증되었으나 개수로 흐름에 적용된 사례는 없다. 본 연구에서는 오픈 소스 프로그램인 OpenFoam의 VOF 기법을 기반으로 부력 수정 난류 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 등류 흐름 적용 결과에 의하면 부력 수정 k-𝜖 모형과 부력 수정 k-ω SST 모형이 자유수면 부근에서의 난류 에너지 저감 현상을 잘 모의함을 확인하였으며, 특히 부력 수정 k-ω SST 모형은 연직 유속 분포를 잘 모의함을 확인하였다. 또한 댐 붕괴 흐름에 적용하여 수면형의 변동이 크고 공동이 형성되는 경우에 대해 검토하였다. 모의 결과 부력 수정 난류 모형은 VOF 기법에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내며 실험결과와 다른 비물리적인 거동을 나타내었다. 부력 수정 난류 모형이 수면이 안정적인 형태인 경우에는 적용성이 있으나 자유 수면의 급격한 변화가 발생하는 경우에 범용적으로 적용하기에는 여전히 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 수면형이 급격하게 변화하거나 공동이 형성되는 흐름의 경우에는 난류 모형에 대한 적절한 보정이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The numerical efforts are presented for investigation of irregular waves passing a slit cassion and a warock block breakwater. In the numerical model, the Reynolds equations are solved by a finite difference method and $k-\varepsilon$ model is employed for the turbulence analysis. To track the free surface displacement, the volume of fluid method(VOF) is employed. Numerical predictions of reflection and transmission coefficients are compared with those of the warock block breakwater with the slit caisson. Energy dissipation and seawater exchange rates of the slit caisson are better than those of the warock block breakwater.
