Three-dimensional flow analysis and numerical optimization methods are presented for the design of an axial-flow fan. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used as governing equations, and standard k- ${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is chosen as a turbulence model. Governing equations are discretized using finite volume method. Steepest descent method, conjugate gradient method and BFGS method are compared to determine the searching directions. Golden section method and quadratic fit-sectioning method are tested for one dimensional search. Objective function is defined as a ratio of generation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy to pressure head. Two variables concerning sweep angle distribution are selected as the design variables. Performance of the final fan designed by the optimization was tested experimentally.

Three dimensional turbulent flow fields around ships are simulated by a numerical method. Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used where Reynolds stresses are approximated by Baldwin-Lomax and Sub-Grid Scale(SGS) turbulence models. Body-fitted coordinate system is introduced to conform three dimensional ship geometries. The governing equations are discretized by a finite volume method. Temporal derivatives are approximated by the forward differencing and the convection terms are approximated by the QUICK or Kawamura scheme. The 2nd-order centered differencing is used for other spatial derivatives. Pressure and velocity fields are simultaneously iterated by the Highly Simplified Marker-And-Cell method. To verify the numerical method and turbulence models, flow fields around ships are simulated and compared to the experiments.

The computational fluid dynamic analysis has been conducted for the thermo-chemical flow field in an arcjet thruster with mono-propellant Hydrazine (N2H4) as a working fluid. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are modified to analyze compressible flows with the thermal radiation and electric field. The Maxwell equation, which is loosely coupled with the fluid dynamic equations through the Ohm heating and Lorentz forces, is adopted to analyze the electric field induced by the electric arc. The chemical reactions of Hydrazine were assumed to be infinitely fast due to the high temperature field inside the arcjet thruster. The chemical and the thermal radiation models for the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture and optically thick media respectively, were incorporated with the fluid dynamic equations. The results show that performance indices of the arcjet thruster with 1kW arc heating are improved by amount of 180% in thrust and 200% in specific impulse more than frozen flow. In addition to thermo-physical process inside the arcjet thruster is understood from the flow field results.

In this study, three-dimensional imcompressible viscous flow analysis and optimization using response surface method are presented for the design of a jet fan. Steady, imcompressible, three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Wavier-Stokes equations are used as governing equations, and standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is chosen as a turbulence model. Governimg equations are discretized using finite volume method. Sweep angles are used as design variables for the shape optimization of the impeller in response surface method. The experimental points which are needed to construct response surface are obtained from the D-optimal design and finally the shape of impeller Is achieved from using a numerical optimization for the response surface which is obtained from CFD.

Numerical investigation on the dynamic stall over an oscillating airfoil is presented. A Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are coupled with transition transport equations for the natural transition. Computational results considering the turbulent transition are compared with the fully turbulent computations and the experimental data. Results with transition prediction show closer correlation with the experimental data than those with the fully turbulent assumption, especially in the reattachment region.

Computational and experimental investigations on the three-dimensional flowfield through an automotive cooling fan are carried out in this work. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional, turbulent flow through a rotating axial-flow fan is analyzed with Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations and standard k-.epsilon. turbulence model. The governing equations are discretized with finite-volume approximations in non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Computational static pressures on the casing wall agree well with the experimental data which are measured in this work. And, they are sensitive to the change of tip clearance. The flowfield is not significantly affected by the thickness of the blade. The k-.omega. model gives the static pressure rise on the casing wall which is similar to that with the k-.epsilon. model.

A numerical study is carried out to investigate the transient process of combustion phenomena associated with hypersonic propulsion devices. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations for reactive flows are used as governing equations with a detailed chemistry mechanism of hydrogen-air mixture and two-equation SST turbulence modeling. The governing equations are discretized by a high order accurate upwind scheme and solved in a fully coupled manner with a fully implicit time accurate method. At first, oscillating shock-induced combustion is analyzed and the comparison with experimental result gives the validity of present computational modeling. Secondly, the model ram accelerator experiment was simulated and the results show the detailed transient combustion mechanisms. Thirdly, the evolution of oblique detonation wave is simulated and the result shows transient and final steady state behavior at off-stability condition. Finally, shock wave/boundary layer interaction in combustible mixture is studied and the criterion of boundary layer flame and oblique detonation wave is identified.

난류유동 지배 방정식인 타원형 레이놀즈 방정식을 수치계산에 의해 계산하였다. 계산 대상으로는 실험결과가 많이 알려진 축 대칭 물체를 택하였다. 수치적으로 얻어지는 물체접합 좌표계를 사용하였고, 난류모형으로는 $\kappa-\varepsilon$모형으로써 경계면 근처의 복잡한 유동특성을 추정할 수 있도록 영역을 2개로 나누어 계산하는 2층모형(two-layer model)을 사용하였다. 입구면의 경계조건을 사용하여 물체의 중앙부 이후부터 계산을 수행하였다. 입구면에서의 속도와 난류량 등은 경계층 방정식을 풀어 얻어진 결과와 평판의 경계층 자료로부터 얻어진 결과를 사용하였으며, 이로부터 입구면 조건이 점성유동 해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

In the present numerical simulation of viscous free surface flow around a ship, two-fluids in-compressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the standard $\textsc{k}-\varepsilon$turbulence model are discretized on a regular grid by using a finite volume method. A local level-set method is introduced for capturing the free surface movement and the influence of the viscous layer and dynamic boundary condition of the free surface are implicitly considered. Partial differential equations in the level-set method are discretized with second order ENO scheme and explicit Euler scheme in the space and time integration, respectively. The computational results for the Series-60 model with $C_B=0.6$ show a good agreement with the experimental data, but more validation studies for commercial complicated hull forms are necessary.
