The work presented in this paper concerns the aerodynamic characteristics and compression wave generated in a tunnel when a high speed train enters it. A large number of solutions have been proposed to reduce the amplitude of the pressure gradient in tunnels and some of the most efficient solutions consist of (a) addition ofa blind hood, (b) addition of inclined part at the entrance, and (c) holes in the ceiling of the tunnel. These are numerically studied by using the three-dimensional unsteady compressible Euler equation solver with ALE, CFD code, based on FEM method. Computational results showed that the smaller inclined angle leads to the lower pressure gradient of compression wave front. This study indicated that the most efficient slant angle is in the range from $30^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$. The maximum pressure gradient is reduced by $26.81\%$ for the inclined angle of $30^{\circ}$ as compared to vertical entry. Results also showed that maximum pressure gradient can be reduced by $15.94\%$ in blind hood entry as compared to $30^{\circ}$ inclined tunnel entry. Furthermore, the present analysis showed that inclined slant angle has little effect on aerodynamic drag. Comparison of the pressure gradient between the inclined tunnel hood and the vertical entry with air vent holes indicated that the optimum inclined tunnel hood is much more effective way in reducing pressure gradient and increasing the pressure rise time.

지면효과를 받는 2차원 날개 주위의 난류유동을 비압축성 RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) 방정식과 유한차분법(Finite Difference Method)을 이용하여 해석하였다. 높은 레이놀즈수에 효과적인 Baldwin-Lomax 난류모델을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 지면효과를 받는 2차원 날개단면에서의 각기 다른 두 바닥 경계조건(이동지면, 고정지면)에 따른 유동의 특성을 파악하는 것이다. Clark-Y(t/C 11.7%)날개단면의 계산 결과와 발표된 계산결과 및 실험 값과의 비교를 통해 본 수치해석 프로그램의 정확성을 검증하였다. NACA4412 날개단면에 대해 지면과의 높이변화에 대해서 두 바닥 경계조건에 대해서 유동해석을 수행하였다 계산결과에 의하면 이동지면과 고정지면에 대해서 양력과 모멘트는 별 차이가 없으나 항력은 고정지면의 경우가 이동지면의 경우보다 다소 작았다. 따라서 풍동시험에서 고정지면의 결과는 이동지면에 비해 상대적으로 저항이 낮게 평가될 가능성이 있다고 본다.

본 연구에서는 바람의 영향을 받는 박스형 콘크리트 거더교에 대한 풍력계수를 산정하기 위하여 전산유체해석(CFD)를 수행하였다. 방음벽이 없는 교량 단면에 대한 항력계수, 양력계수 및 비틀림모멘트계수를 산정하였고, 이 풍력계수 값들을 다양한 높이의 방음벽을 갖는 교량 단면에 대한 풍력계수 값들과 비교하였다. 전산유체해석에서 풍력계수들을 산정할 때 전단응력수송(SST) $k-{\omega}$ 난류 모델을 적용하였고, 마찰 항력계수가 전체 항력계수에 미치는 기여도를 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 바람이 수평으로 불 때 항력계수는 방음벽의 높이가 커질수록 증가하였고, 마찰 항력의 기여도는 교량 단면에 방음벽이 없을 때 가장 높았다. 따라서 교량설계에서 풍력을 산정할 때 방음벽의 높이의 영향을 고려할 필요가 있으며, 벽면 마찰력은 교량에 작용하는 풍력을 산정할 때 중요한 역할을 하였다.

In a coal gasifier for IGCC, hot syngas leaving the gasifier at about 1550oC is rapidly quenched by cold syngas recycled from the gas cleaning process. This study investigated the flow and heat transfer characteristics in the gas quench system of a commercial IGCC process plant under different operating pressures. As the operating pressure increased from 30 bar to 50 bar, the reduced gas velocity shortened the hot syngas core. The hot fly slag particles were retained within the core more effectively, and the heat transfer became more intensive around the hot gas core under higher pressures. Despite the high particle concentrations, the wall erosion by particle impaction was estimated not significant. However, large particles became more stagnant in the transfer duct due to the reduced gas velocity and drag force under higher pressures.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells are a promising technology for short-term power generation required in residential and automobile applications. Proper management of water has been found to be essential for improving the performance and durability of PEM fuel cells. This study investigated the liquid water exhaust capabilities of various flow channels having different geometries and surface properties. Three-pass serpentine flow fields were prepared by patterning channels of 1 mm or 2 mm width onto hydrophilic Acrylic plates or hydrophobic Teflon plates, and the behaviors of liquid water in those flow channels were experimentally visualized. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were also conducted to quantitatively assess the liquid water exhaust capabilities of flow channels for PEM fuel cells. Numerical results showed that hydrophobic flow channels have better liquid water exhaust capabilities than hydrophilic flow channels. Flow channels with curved corners showed less droplet stagnation than the channels with sharp corners. It was also found that a smaller width is desirable for hydrophobic flow channels while a larger width is desirable for hydrophilic ones. The above results were explained as being due to the different droplet morphologies in hydrophobic and hydrophilic channels.

Insulation of refrigerator with gasket material near door becomes the technical point at the aspect of heat loss and energy efficiency. Heat loss of refrigerator through the gasket is nearly 30%. In this paper, quantitative evaluation method of heat loss through gasket in established suggest the method for the improvement of heat loss. To analyze the heat transfer, we have used the common software Fluent that is used to CFD. Because of using the convection coefficient of heat transfer, we have solved only the equation of energy for heat transfer. As a result, we have known that heat loss flows through the heat flux vector and that the heat gathered out of the outside iron plate is transferred inner part through the gasket and ABS, etc. Through the result of the numerical simulation that use sub-gasket, we have known that we are able to reduce the heat loss about $20{\sim}40%$. when we applied that sub-gasket on a real refrigerator, the power consumption had reduced about 4.76%. In addition, when we applied a more improved sub-gasket on a real refrigerator and measured the power of the refrigerator the power consumption does reduce about 3% and we will try to apply the improved sub-gasket on a new models of refrigerator.

LE-7A is the main engine of the H-IIA launch vehicle. Under its development, the nozzle suffered from two troubles during startup and shutdown transients of the engine. One is a large side load, which damages the actuator of the nozzle, and the other is damage on regenerative cooling tubes due to high heat load. It has been considered that these problems are caused by a peculiar separation pattern called Restricted Shock Separation (RSS). RSS is observed in several rocket nozzles, for example, LE-7A nozzle, Vulcain nozzle and so on. Their contours are not conventional truncated perfect (TP) nozzle - LE-7A nozzle is a compressed truncated perfect (CTP) nozzle and Vulcain nozzle is a thrust optimized (TO) nozzle. Although it is believed that the occurrence of RSS is affected by the nozzle contour, the mechanisms are not clarified sufficiently yet. In the present paper, a parametric numerical study is carried out to investigate the mechanisms of the occurrence of RSS in CTP nozzles during startup transient. The results show that RSS is caused by the adverse pressure gradient downstream of the Mach disk. The adverse pressure gradient is caused by the interaction of the pressure wave and Mach disk. The method to avoid the occurrence of RSS is also examined. A small step inside the nozzle affects the position of the separation point and prevents RSS. The result shows that the possibility that RSS can be suppressed by controlling the position of the separation point.

When the pumps stopped in the operation by the power failure, the hydraulic transients take place in the sudden change of a velocity of pipe line. Each and every water hammer problem shows the critical stage to be greatly affected the facts of safety and reliability in case of power failure. The field tests of the water hammer executed at Cheong-Yang booster pump station having an air chamber. The effects were studied by both the practical experiments and the CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics : Surge 2008). The result states that the system with water hammering protection equipment was much safer when power failure happens. The following data by a computational fluid dynamic analysis are to be shown below, securing the system stability and integrity. (1) With water hammering protection equipment. (1) Change of pressure : Up to $15.5\;kg/cm^2$ in contrary to estimating $16.88\;kg/cm^2$. (2) Change rate of water level : 52~33% in contrary to estimating 55~27%. (3) Note that the operational pressure of pump runs approx. 145 m, lowering 155 m of the regularity head of pump. (4) Note that the cycle of water hammering delays from 80 second to 100 second, together with easing the function of air value at the pneumatic lines. (2) Change of pressure without water hammering protection equipment : Approximate $22.86\;kg/cm^2$. The comprehensive result says that the computational fluid dynamics analysis would match well with the practical field-test. It was able to predict Max. or Min. water hammering time in a piping system. This study aims effectively to alleviate water hammering in a pipe line to be installed with air chamber at the pumping station and results in making the stability of pump system in the end.

OWE형 파력발전장치는 해수면의 승강운동을 공기실 내의 공기 흐름으로 전환하고 이를 터빈의 구동력으로 사용하는 발전장치이다. 파랑에너지가, 터빈으로 유입되는 공기에너지로 전환하도록 하는 공기실의 내부 수위의 주기적 변동은 상하대칭이 이루어지지 않고, 공기실 내 공기 유동의 압축과 팽창 과정에서 유량차가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 이용하여 보다 많은 유량을 임펄스터빈의 압력면으로 유도하여 날개의 압력면과 흡입면의 압력차를 크게 하는 Staggered Blade의 적용에 대해 검토하고 그에 대한 성능 해석을 수행하였다. 터빈의 압력면으로의 공기 흐름을 제어하기 위해 Self-Pitched Blade(가변 피치 날개)를 제안하였고, 이러한 유량차를 토대로 동 조건에서 최대의 발전량과 최고 효율의 터빈을 설계하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.
