Three-dimensional endwall flow within a linear cascade passage of high performance turbine blade is simulated with a 3-D Wavier-Stokes CFD code (MOSA3D), which is based on body-fitted coordinate system, pressure-correction and finite volume method. the endwall flow characteristics, including the development and generation of horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, etc. are clearly simulated, consistent with the generally known tendency The effects of both turbulence model and convective differencing scheme on the Prediction performance of endwall flow are systematically analyzed in the present paper. The convective scheme is found to have stronger effect than the turbulence modei on the prediction performance of endwall flow. The present simulation result also indicates that the suction leg of the horseshoe vortex continues on the suction side until it reaches the trailing edge.

Low-speed gas flows in micro-channels are investigated using a kinetic theory analysis. The Boltzmann equation simplified by a collision model is solved by means of a finite difference approximation with the discrete ordinate method. Calculations are made for flows in simple micro-channels and a micro-fluidic system consisting of two micro-channels in series. The results are compared well with those from the DSMC method and an analytical solutions to the Wavier-Stokes equations. It is shown that the present method is a useful tool for the modeling of low-speed flows in micro-channels.

A numerical study of underexpanded jet and impingement on a wall mounted at various distances from the nozzle exit is presented. The 3-dimensional Wavier-Stokes equations and κ-ω turbulence equations are solved. The grids are constructed as overlapped grid systems to examine the distance effect. The DADI method is applied to obtain steady-state solutions. To avoid numerical instability such as the carbuncle phenomena that sometimes accompany approximate Riemann solver, the HLLE+ scheme is employed for the inviscid flux at the cell interfaces. A goal of this work is to apply a number of two-equation turbulence models based on the w equation to the impinging jet problem.

A numerical analysis has been conducted in order to simulate the characteristics of complex flow through linear cascades of high performance turbine blade with/without tip clearance by using a pressure-correction based, generalized 3D incompressible Wavier-Stokes CFD code. The development and generation of horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, leakage vortex, tip vortex within tip clearance, etc. are clearly identified through the present simulation which uses the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model with wall function method and a second-order linear upwind scheme for convective terms. The present simulation results are consistent with the generally known tendency that occurs in the blade passage and tip clearance. A 3D model for secondary and leakage flows through turbine cascades with/without tip clearance is also suggested from the present simulation results, including the effects of tip clearance height.

본 연구에서는 기존에 널리 사용되어져 온 Wavier-Stokes 방정식을 풀이하는 전통적인 CFD 해석에서 벗어나 최근에 그 응용 분야를 넓혀가고 있는 LBM의 해석코드를 개발하고, 이를 이용하여 이차원 채널속에 놓여진 쇄기형 물체 주위의 유동특성을 조사하였다. D2Q9 격자계 및 Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (LBGK) 모델을 채택하였으며, 수치해석 결과는 기존의 실험결과의 잘 일치하였다. 쇄기형 물체에서 와의 형성 및 방출 Reynolds 수 범위는 $32{\leq}Re{\leq}620$ 이며, 원형실린더에서 알려진 Karman 와열을 형성하는 주기적인 와방출은 대칭적인 와가 형성된 후 $Re{\geq}85$부터 시작되며 Reynolds 수의 증가에 따라 와 방출 주파수는 증가되었다.

In the vortex particle method based on the vorticity-velocity formulation for solving the Wavier-Stokes equations, the unsteady, incompressible, viscous laminar flow over a NACA 0012 foil is simulated. By applying an operator-splitting method, the 'convection' and 'diffusion' equations are solved sequentially at each time step. The convection equation is solved using the vortex particle method, and the diffusion equation using the particle strength exchange(PSE) scheme which is modified to avoid a spurious vorticity flux. The scheme is improved for variety body shape using one image layer scheme. For a validation of the present method, we illustrate the early development of the viscous flow about an impulsively started NACA 0012 foil for Reynolds number 550.

Any circumferential variations of the impeller exit flow conditions influences on the volute inlet flow conditions. All these interactions are strongly coupled phd affect consequently the performance of centrifugal pumps. In this paper, a commercial CFD code, which solves three-dimensional quasi-steady Wavier-Stokes equations with an impeller/volute interaction, is used for the prediction of a centrifugal pump performance. The simplified model of an impeller/volute interaction requires affordable computing time and provides relevant results. As a result, detailed flow structures such as pressure rise, recovery and loss mechanism on the centrifugal pumps are obtained. Especially, hydraulic performances are compared between the case of impeller only and the case of impeller with volute configuration. In addition, pump performance at off-design operation are observed and discussed.

The numerical simulations of flowfield and pollutant dispersion over two-dimensional hills of various shapes are described. The Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations and concentration diffusion equation based on the gradient diffusion theory have been applied to the atmospheric shear flow over the bell-shaped hills which are basic components of the complex terrain. The flow characteristics such as velocity profiles of the geophysical boundary layer, speed-up phenomena, mean pollutant concentration profiles are compared with experimental data to validate the present numerical procedure and it has been found that the present numerical results agree well with experiments and other numerical data. It has been also found that the distributions of ground level concentration are strongly influenced by the source location and height.

In this numerical work, three dimensional supersonic laminar flow and heat transfer of a blunt body(sphere-cone) at Mach 5 is simulated. The effects of angle of attack and the spin rate on the now and heat transfer are analysed. To solve the three dimensional compressible Wavier-Stokes equation, a finite volume method with the modified LDFSS scheme is employed for spatial discretization, and a point SGS implicit method is used for time integration. It is found that the heat transfer rate increases at the windward side and decreases at the leeward side with the angle of attack. The heat transfer rate at all surfaces slightly increases with the spin rate.

A two-dimensional/axisymmetric CSCM upwind flux difference splitting Wavier-Stokes method has been developed to study the finite rate chemically react-ing invisicd and viscous hypersonic flows over blunt-body. A upwind method was chosen due to its robustness in capturing the strong bow shock waves. For the nonequilibrium chemically reacting air, NS-I species conservation equations were strongly coupled with flowfield equations through convection and species production terms. The nonequilibrium wall pressure and heat transfer rate distributions along the vehicle were compared with those from equilibrium and perfect gas calculations. The nonequilibrium species distribution shows the reduced concentrations of O and N species when compared with equilibrium species distribution. The solutions resolved strong bow shock waves md heat transfer rate very accurately when compared with central difference schemes.
