아음속 유동이 흐르는 후향 계단에서, 입구 경계면에서의 난류를 모사하는 3가지 기법을 조사하였다. 입구 경계면으로 유입되는 평균 유동장과 레이놀즈 응력 프로파일은 실험에서 측정된 결과를 사용하였으며, 입구 경계면의 난류 유동 모사기법으로 synthetic eddy method(SEM), 무작위 변동(random noise) 그리고 균일한 유동 조건(uniform)을 사용하였다. 3차원 유동장의 난류 유동의 모사를 위해 대와동모사(Large Eddy Simulation, LES)를 적용하였다. 3가지 기법에 대한 입구 경계면으로 유입된 유동의 난류 특성과 유동의 재 부착(reattachment) 거리와 속도, 레이놀즈 응력(Reynolds stress)을 비교하였다.

An experimental study was made of turbulent separated and reattaching flow over a backward-facing step, where unsteady wake was generated by a spoked-wheel type wake generator with cylindrical rods in front of the separated flow. The influence of unsteady wake was scrutinized in terms of the rotating speed of the wake generator (0$\leq$S $t_{H}$$\leq$0.4). A conditional averaging technique in corporation with SBF was employed to elucidate the influence of the unsteady wake on the large-scale vortical structures of the separated flow. Special attention was made during two-dimensional measurements of wall-pressure with or without unsteady wake. The wall-pressure fluctuations were used to predict dipole sound source by Curie's integral formula. It was found that the reduction of the dipole sound source was due to the reduction of turbulent kinetic energy by unsteady wake in the recirculation region.n.

The goal of the research is to evaluate the open source code of OpenFOAM for the use of nuclear plant flow simulation objectively. Of the various incompressible flow solvers, simpleFoam, pimpelFoam are then tested under three validated cases (backward facing step, flow over circular cylinder and turbulent round jet flow). For the evaluation of steady state incompressible laminar flow simulation, low reynolds number of backward facing step flow was solved by simpleFoam. The resultant of the reattached lengths turned out to be similar with the other experimental and simulation results. For transient flow simulation, flow over circular cylinder and turbulent round jet flow were solved by pimpleFoam. The simulation accuracy was evaluated by comparing the resultant flow patterns with the description of the characteristics of the flow over the circular cylinder. The quantitative accuracy was evaluated for no more than 85% by comparing it to the decaying constants of the turbulent round jet velocity.

An experimental study on the flow over the axisymmetric backward-facing step was carried out. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of the separating streamline curvature on the reattachment length and to understand the structure of recirculating flows. Local mean and fluctuating velocity components were measured in the separating and reattaching axisymmetric region of turbulent boundary layer on the wall of convex cylinder placed in a water tunnel by using 2-color 4-beam fiber optics laser Doppler velocimetry. The study demonstrates that the reattachment length increases with increasing separating streamline curvature. It is also observed that the reverse flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy increase with an increase in the separating streamline curvature. In addition, the behavior of maximum turbulent stresses show that the effect of separating streamline curvature is larger in the region of recirculating zone(X/H<2) than in the region of reattachment point.

Investigating Backward-Facing Step(BFS) flow is important in that it is a representative case for separation flows in various engineering flow systems. There have been a wide range of experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies to investigate the flow characteristics over BFS, such as flow separation, reattachment length and recirculation zone. However, most of such previous studies were concentrated only on the perpendicular step angle. In this study, several numerical investigations on the flow pattern over BFS with various step angles (10° ~ 90°) and expansion ratios (1.48, 2 and 3.27) under different Reynolds numbers (5000 ~ 64000) were carried out, mainly focused on the reattachment length. The numerical simulations were performed using an open source 3D CFD software, OpenFOAM, in which the velocity profiles and turbulence intensities are calculated by RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation) and 3D LES (Large Eddy Simulation) turbulence models. Overall, it shows a good agreement between simulations and the experimental data by Ruck and Makiola (1993). In comparison with the results obtained from RANS and 3D LES, it was shown that 3D LES model can capture much better and more details on the velocity profiles, turbulence intensities, and reattachment length behind the step for relatively low Reynolds number(Re < 11000) cases. However, the simulation results by both of RANS and 3D LES showed very good agreement with the experimental data for the high Reynolds number cases(Re > 11000). For Re > 11000, the reattachment length is no longer dependent on the Reynolds number, and it tends to be nearly constant for the step angles larger than 30°.) Based on the calibrated and validated numerical simulations, several additional numerical simulations were also conducted with higher Reynolds number and another expansion ratio which were not considered in the experiments by Ruck and Makiola (1993).

후방계단(backward facting step) 주위의 난류 유동 특성을 수치 해석을 통해 파악하고자 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정도의 유한 차분 기법으로 이산화하였으며 비교차격자계를 사용하여 양해법으로 계산하였다. 난류 모형으로는 이층 모형(two-layer)을 사용하였고 압력 Poisson 방정식을 이용하여 압력과 속도를 연성 시켰다. Re=44,000인 경우에 대해 계산 결과로 부터 후방 계단 뒤의 속도 벡터, 유선, 압력 및 속도 분포, 재부착 길이(reattachment length)등의 실험치와 비교하였다. 본 계산에 사용한 수치 해석 기법은 박리등이 포함된 복잡한 난류 유동 현상을 잘 재현할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A two-dimensional backward facing step flow was comptuted using a Detached Eddy simulation(DES) based on the SST turbulence model. The expansion ratio(ER) was 1.125 and the Reynolds number based on the step height and the mean velocity in the upstream channel was 37,500. The flow condition was the same as with the experimental research[1]. The reattachment length, oscillatory characteristics of the flow and the coherent structures of the present simulation were compared to demonstrate the improtance of spanwise grid spacing.

IB (immersed boundary) method is one of the prominent tool in computational fluid dynamics for the analysis of flows over complex geometries. The IB technique simplyfies the solution procedure by eliminating the requirement of complex body fitted grids and it is also superior in terms of memory requirement. In this study we have developed numerical code (FOTRAN) for the analysis of 2D flow over a cylinder using IB technique. The code is validated by comparing the wake lengths and separation angles given by Guo et. al. We employed fractional-step procedure for solving the Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow and discrete forcing IB technique for imposing boundary conditions. Also we have developed a 3D code for the backward-facing-step flow and flow over a sphere. The reattachment length in backward-facing-step flow was compared with the one given by Nie and Armaly, which has proven the validity of our code.

Experimental study is conducted to investigate the heat/mass transfer and flow characteristics for the flow over backward-facing step and cavities. A naphthalene sublimation method has been employed to measure the mass transfer coefficients on the duct wall and LDV system has been used to obtain mean velocity profiles and turbulence intensities. Reynolds number based on the step height and free stream velocity is 20,000 and St numbers of acoustic excitations given to separated flow are 0.2 to 0.4. The spectra of streamwise velocity fluctuation show a sharp peak forcing frequency for an acoustically excited flow. The results reveal that the vortex pairing and overall turbulence level are enhanced by the acoustic excitation and a significant decrease in the reattachment length and the increased turbulence intensity are observed with the excitation. A certain acoustic excitation increases considerably the heat/mass transfer coefficient at the reattachment point and in the recirculation region. For the cavities, heat/mass transfer is enhanced by the acoustic excitation due to the elevated turbulence intensity. For the 10H cavity, the flow pattern is significantly changed with the acoustic excitation. However, for the 5H cavity, the acoustic excitation has little effect on the flow pattern in the cavity.
