가스터빈용 희박 예혼합 연소기 내부에 와류 발생기(vortex generator)를 장착하여 그에 따른 연료/공기혼합 및 NOx 배출 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 수치해석적 방법을 채택하여 연소기내 유동특성, 연료/공기 혼합도, 배기가스(NOx), 화염형상을 분석하였다. 와류 발생기를 장착한 경우, 연소기 내부에서 와류 발생기에 의한 나사산 형상으로 인해 와류가 형성되며 이는 연소기 전면부까지 유지되었다. 또한 연소기 내부 면적 차로 인해 압력섭동이 발생하였다. 이와 더불어 연소기 전면부 기준 상류지역의 연료와 공기의 혼합도가 증가됨으로서 연료 과농지역이 감소하게 되며 이로 인해 전반적인 NOx 발생량의 감소 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 화염 형상의 변화로부터 와류 발생기의 영향으로 선회수는 다소 감소할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 와류 발생기로 인한 유속의 반복적 증감에 의한 결과라고 판단된다.

Flexible structures have been adopted in heat transfer systems as vortex generators. The flexible vortex generators immersed in a flow show a self-sustained oscillatory motion, which enhances fluid mixing and heat transfer. In the present study, the vortex generators in a two-dimensional channel flow are numerically investigated, and they are symmetrically mounted on the upper and lower walls with an inclination angle. The momentum interaction and heat transfer between the flexible vortex generators and the surrounding fluid are considered by using an immersed boundary method. The inclination angle is one of the important factors in determining the flapping kinematics of the flexible vortex generators. The flapping amplitude increases as the inclination angle increases, thereby enhancing fluid mixing. The heat transfer is enhanced up to 80% comparing to the baseline channel flow.

The vortex convection and induced flow field behind the KARI 3m x 4m LSWT gust generator was computed by using Computational Fluid Dynamics. For the accurate simulation of vortex convection, inviscid, laminar, Spalart-Allmars k-e and k-w turbulence models were tested with the NAL gust generator configuration and Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model was selected for the prediction of induced flow field behind the KARI LSWT gust generator. The wind tunnel test was also carried out at KARI LSWT and the results were compared with CFD prediction.

This paper describes the numerical computations of the interaction between the streamwise vortex and a flat plate 3-D turbulent boundary layer. In the present study, the main interest is in the behavior of the streamwise vortices introduced in turbulent boundary layers. The flow behind a vortex generator is modeled by the information that is avilable from studies on the dalta winglet. An algorithm of the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for three-dimensional turbulent flows, together with a two layer turbulent model to resolve the near-wall flow, is based on the method of artificial compressibility. The present results show boundary layer distortion due to vortices, such as strong spanwise flow divergence and boundary thinning, and have a good agreement with the experimental data.

This study carried out numerical analysis of flow field of combustion gas and sorbent to test sorbent efficiency of DSI process. To provide rapid mixing for increase utilization rate of sorbent, streamwise vorticity can be introduced into the flowing streams by other means; for example, by installing vortex generators immediately downstream of the wavy trailing edge. Computing results show that the degree of sorbent dispersion depends strongly on duct structure. Highest dispersion efficiency received when vortex generator was installed inside of duct. The results presented in this study a optimum condition for the development of practical DSI process.

We propose a ring resonator-based orbital angular momentum carrying vortex beam generator design with high vertical directional emission efficiency. By adopting a vertically asymmetric grating structure in the ring resonator, optimized for enhanced vertical emission, an emission efficiency in one direction reaches as high as 78%, exceeding the 50% theoretical limit of previously designed vertically symmetric grating-assisted ring resonator-based structures.

A nozzle with vortex generator was used to develop the low pressure nozzle with high atomization performance and the nozzle atomized the liquid by centrifugal shear forces. In order to analyze the atomization characteristics, a shadowgraphy method was used and the measurement of droplet size was performed by using laser diffraction analyzer. The liquid injection pressure was fixed as 0.03 bar which is very low pressure and the gas injection pressures were changed from 0 bar to 2.0 bar. As a result, the breakup was achieved at the air injection pressure of 0.25 bar and over. The nozzle with the orifice diameter of 0.4 mm and the orifice gap of 0.25 mm presented small droplet diameters under 50 at the air injection pressure of 0.75 bar.

To evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency of TR-S2 configuration designed by SUDC, wind tunnel tests of $40\%$ scaled model were done in KARI LSWT. The aerodynamic characteristics of plain and Semi-Slotted Flaperon were compared, and vortex generators were installed to improve flow pattern along the wing surface. Effects of the control surface such as elevator, rudder, aileron, and incidence angle of horizontal tail are measured for various testing conditions. Test results showed that Semi-Slotted Flaperon produced more favorable lift, lift/drag, and stall margins and application of vortex generator would be best choice to enhance wing performance. Longitudinal, lateral and directional characteristics of TR-S2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions.

In this study the optimization of plate-fin type heat sink with vortex generator for the thermal stability is performed numerically. The optimum solutions in the heat sink are obtained when the temperature rise and the pressure drop are minimized simultaneously. Thermal performance of heat sink is influenced by the heat sink shape such as the base-part fin width, lower-part fin width, and basement thickness. To acquire the optimal design variables automatically, CFD and mathematical optimization are integrated. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by means of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method which is widely used for the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The results show that the optimal design variables are as follows; B$_1$=2.584 mm, B$_2$=1.741 mm, and t=7.914 mm when the temperature rise is less than 40 K. Comparing with the initial design, the temperature rise is reduced by 4.2 K, while the pressure drop is increased by 9.43 Pa. The relationship between the pressure drop and the temperature rise is also presented to select the heat sink shape for the designers.

Electromagnetic vortex flowmeter is a new type of instrument for detecting leakage of steam generator, and the signal processing method based on the envelope to calculate energy ratio can effectively detect bubbles in sodium flow. The signal processing method is not affected by changes in the amplitude of the sensor output signal, which is caused by changes in magnetic field strength and other factors. However, the detection sensitivity of the electromagnetic vortex flowmeter is reduced. To this end, a signal processing method based on inverse Fourier transform to calculate energy ratio is proposed. According to the difference between the frequency band of the bubble noise signal and the flow signal, only the amplitude in the frequency band of the flow signal is retained in the frequency domain, and then the flow signal is obtained by the inverse Fourier transform method, thereby calculating the energy ratio. Using this method to process the experimental data, the results show that it can detect 0.1 g/s leak rate of water in the steam generator, and its performance is significantly better than that of the signal processing method based on the envelope to calculate energy ratio.
