Since various parameters including the welding conditions and material properties are involved in metal transfer, it is difficult to figure out the effects of each parameter. In this study, dimensional analysis in performed to reduce the number of the parameters and to reveal the effect of each parameter on metal transfer. Dimensionless parameters are derived based on the inertia force and surface tension, and their contributions on metal transfer are estimated by analyzing the calculated results using the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Among several dimensionless parameters, $N_{SE}(=$\mu$_{0}I^{2}/d_{w}${\gamma}$)$ which represents the ratio of the electromagnetic force to surface tension, is found to be appropriate to describe metal transfer and estimate the transition current. Predicted results of transition current and drop size are in reasonably good agreements with available experimental date which show the validity of proposed dimensional analysis.

In the present study, a numerical analysis of transient mixer flow is performed considering free surface formation. The flow patterns and free surface shape in a mixers formed by flat paddle and pitched paddle impellers are predicted. In a flat paddle mixer, two flow circulation regions are formed due to strong radial flow, whereas one large circulation is formed in a pitched paddle mixer due to axial downward flow. These differences affect the free surface evolution and shape. It is seen from the results that a flat paddle mixer gives deeper free surface at center region than a pitched paddle mixer. The free surface of 8-blades-flat-paddle mixer is also simulated to compare with the available experimental and simulation results. The present computational results agree reasonably well with the experimental data.

The metal transfer phenomenon of the pulsed-GMAW is simulated by formulating the electromagnetic force incorporated with the Volume of Fluid algorithm. The free surface profiles, pressure and velocity distributions within the drop are computed numerically. Axial velocity and acceleration generated during peak current period are found to have a significant effect on drop detachment. Therefore, the accelerated inertia force becomes one of important factors affecting metal transfer in the pulsed-GMAW. When the pulse current parameters are selected properly, the molten drop is detached just after current pulse, and the operating range of the pulsing frequency increases with higher peak current and duty cycle. Calculated operating ranges show reasonably good agreements with the available experimental data.

Interface tracking of two phase is significant to analyze multi-phase phenomena. The VOF(Volume of Fluid) and level set are well known interface tracking method. However, they have limitations to solve compressible flow and incompressible flow at the same time. CIP(Cubic Interpolate Propagation) method is appropriate for considering compressible and incompressible flow at once by solving the governing equation which is divided up into advection and non-advection term. In this article, we analyze the droplet impingement according to various We number using improved CIP method which treats nonlinear term once more comparison with original CIP method. Furthermore, we compare spread radius after droplet impingement on the wall with the experimental data and original CIP method. The result using improved CIP method shows the better result of the experiments, comparison with result of original CIP method, and it reduces the mass conservation error which is generated in the numerical analysis comparison with original CIP method.

본 연구는 유한한 크기의 선저경사각을 갖는 2차원 쐐기형 구조물의 슬래밍 충격 현상을 수치 해석하였다. 비압축성 유체를 가정하였으며, 구조물의 입수 속도는 일정하게 유지하였다. 자유수면의 대 변형 및 동적 거동의 해석을 위해서 Geo-reconstruct(or PLIC-VOF) scheme을 사용하였다. 선저경사각이 $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ 및 $30^{\circ}$인 경우에 대해서 해석을 수행하였으며, 각각의 선저경사각에 대하여 입수면의 격자 크기 및 입수 속도를 변화시켜 슬래밍 충격력 수치 해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수치해석 결과는 Dobrovol'skaya(1969)의 상사해(similarity solution), Wagner 방법에 기초한 점근해(asymptotic solution) 및 경계요소법(Zhao et al.(1993))에 의한 해석 결과와 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 3차원수치파동수로내에 쇄파후의 파랑이 대형연직원주구조물에 작용할 때 작용파력과 구조물에 의한 파랑변형을 수치적으로 해석한다. 수치해석법으로 파랑과 구조물과의 비선형상호간섭에 따른 쇄파현상을 포함하는 복잡한 자유수면의 거동특성을 고정도로 해석할 수 있는 3차원Navier-Stokes운동방정식과 자유수면추적에 3차원VOF(Volume Of Fluid)법을 결합한 강비선형해석법을 적용한다. 3차원파동장내에서 해저는 쇄파를 상대적으로 쉽게 발생시킬 수 있는 경사스텝의 해저(변수심의 경사수역과 일정수심역으로 구성)로 이루어진 경우를 고려하며, 파고의 변화에 따라 쇄파가 경사수역 또는 일정수심역에서 발생하여 일정수심역의 대형연직원주구조물에는 쇄파후의 파랑만이 작용하는 경우로 한정한다. 구조물의 위치 및 입사파랑의 파고변화가 구조물에 작용하는 파력 및 파랑변형에 미치는 특성을 쇄파전후의 파랑을 중심으로 검토하고, 쇄파후 파랑의 전파에 따른 파랑에너지의 변화와 구조물에 작용하는 파력특성과를 연관시켜 논의하여 3차원파동장에서 파랑과 구조물과의 강비선형간섭현상의 특성을 규명한다.

The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of berm breakwater on wave run-up. A total of 200 numerical analysis tests have been carried out in this paper to investigate the effect of berm width, wave height, and wave period on the wave run-up, using an integrating technique of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Direct application of Navier Stokes equations within the berm width has been used to provide a more reliable approach for studying the wave run-up over berm breakwaters. A well tested Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) code with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) scheme was adopted for numerical computations. The computational results were compared with theoretical data to validate the model outputs. Numerical results showed that the simulation method can provide accurate estimations for wave run-up over berm breakwaters. It was found that the wave run-up may be decreased by increasing the berm width up to about 36 percent. Furthermore, the wave run-up may increase by increasing the wave height and wave period up to about 53 and 36 percent, respectively. These results may convince the engineers to use this model for design of berm breakwater in actual scale by calculating the Reynolds numbers.

A fishway is a structure on or around artificial and natural barriers, such as dams, locks and waterfalls, to help fishes' natural migration. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, termed SNUFOAM is used to analyze vertical hydraulic characteristic of rollway of fishway. Volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was used to handle free-surface. It is important to determine the factors influencing flow characteristics in fishway because fish use directional information from the flow characteristics to navigate through fishway. Fishway was modeled in 2-D and the influence of the stream velocity, slope, and weir height of fishway was tested. In results, the transition Reynolds number was $2{\times}10^5{\sim}3{\times}10^5$.

The paper presents the numerical analysis of wave run-up over rubble-mound breakwaters covered by antifer units using a technique integrating Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. Direct application of Navier-Stokes equations within armour blocks, is used to provide a more reliable approach to simulate wave run-up over breakwaters. A well-tested Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) Volume of Fluid (VOF) code (Flow-3D) was adopted for CFD computations. The computed results were compared with experimental data to check the validity of the model. Numerical results showed that the direct three dimensional (3D) simulation method can deliver accurate results for wave run-up over rubble mound breakwaters. The results showed that the placement pattern of antifer units had a great impact on values of wave run-up so that by changing the placement pattern from regular to double pyramid can reduce the wave run-up by approximately 30%. Analysis was done to investigate the influences of surface roughness, energy dissipation in the pores of the armour layer and reduced wave run-up due to inflow into the armour and stone layer.
