This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art in the numerical evaluation of wind loads on buildings. Important aspects of numerical modeling including (i) turbulence modeling, (ii) inflow boundary conditions, (iii) ground surface roughness, (iv) near wall treatments, and (vi) quantification of wind loads using the techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are summarized. Relative advantages of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) over Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and hybrid RANS-LES over LES are discussed based on physical realism and ease of application for wind load evaluation. Overall LES based simulations seem suitable for wind load evaluation. A need for computational wind load validations in comparison with experimental or field data is emphasized. A comparative study among numerical and experimental wind load evaluation on buildings demonstrated generally good agreements on the mean values, but more work is imperative for accurate peak design wind load evaluations. Particularly more research is needed on transient inlet boundaries and near wall modeling related issues.

Cavitation is one of the most difficult physical phenomena to understand and predict. Many experimental and computational studies have been conducted for better understanding of the phenomenon. Recently, with the rapid development of computing hardware capacity and numerical methods, considerable advancement is observed in prediction of cavitation using computational fluid dynamics. To that end, many cavitation models have been developed and reported. In the present paper, some of the distinguished cavitation models are categorized and reviewed in terms of the computational frame work and formulation of transport equations. Then those characteristics are compared with each other.

Effect of visualization as a tool for the education of fluid dynamics is mainly discussed. Visualized images are much more understandable compared to the explanation using equations and texts. Several examples are presented to clarify this statement. Then, the software system for teaching fluid dynamics using the results by the numerical simulation is discussed. Two important issues on what is needed in the system are given. First, such systems should be capable of animating images. Second, such systems should be interactively used by students. Changing parameters, coefficients, equations, etc. themselves and watching the difference are important for them to understand the nature of physics underlying the equations. The teaching system with visualization is no doubt a good tool for introducing fluid dynamics.

Recently, thanks to the advanced computational power and numerical methods, it is made possible to analyze the flow around moving bodies using computational fluid dynamics techniques. In those simulations, moving mesh techniques should be able to represent both the body motion and boundary deformation, which are frequently encountered in fluid-structure interaction and/or six degree-of-freedom problems. In the present study, the staggered loosely coupling algorithm was used for fluid-structure interaction and the Laplacian operator based technique was used for moving mesh. For the verification of the developed computational method, the flow around a two-dimensional cylinder was simulated and analyzed.

본 연구는 물탱크 내부의 사류구역 최소화에 목적을 두고 진행하였으며 입수관의 형태를 개선하여 물탱크 내부에서 발생하는 유동특성을 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD)모사 기법을 이용하여 분석 하였다. 기존에 물탱크에 사용되던 자유낙하 방식의 입수관을 다공형 스크류 노즐 입수관으로 개선하고 유동 특성을 분석한 결과 노즐 안에 스크류 날개가 설치된 경우 유동흐름의 폭이 넓게 분사 되었으며 원통형 물탱크 내부에서도 넓은 유동 흐름이 나타났다. 또한 사각형 물탱크에 다공형 스크류 노즐 입수관이 1개 설치되어 있을 경우와 2개 설치되어있을 경우의 유동해석과 추적자모의를 수행하였으며 그 결과 입수관을 2개 설치할 경우 MODAL, MORILL index값이 1에 가깝게 나타나 Plug Flow 특성에 근접하단 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문은 데스크탑 PC 에서만 구현 가능하였던 기존의 유체 시뮬레이션 기술을 모바일 환경으로 확장하는 방법론을 제시한다. 유체 시뮬레이션은 나비어-스토크스 (Navier-Stokes) 방정식의 수치적 해를 구하는 것이며, 기존의 방법론은 수치적 해의 안정성과 [1] 사실성 [2]에 그 초점을 맞추고 있다. 하지만 이는 모바일 기기에서 기대하기 힘든 충분한 연산 자원을 가정한 것이다. 한편, 모바일 환경에서의 물리기반 기술은 현재 강체 시뮬레이션 모듈이 주로 활용되고 있으며 [3], 유체 시뮬레이션은 높이장 (Height field) 기반의 단순한 모델만이 제시되어있다 [4]. 이를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계를 극복한 수정된 비압축유동의 시뮬레이션 기법을 소개하며, 또한 모바일 상에서 유체의 가시화 기술을 제안한다.

A numerical technique for fluid-structure interaction, which is based on the finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), was developed for application to an industrial chimney equipped with a pendulum tuned mass damper (TMD). In order to solve the structural problem, a one-dimensional beam model (Navier-Bernoulli) was considered and, for the dynamical problem, the standard second-order Newmark method was used. Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are solved in several horizontal planes to determine the pressure in the boundary of the corresponding cross-section of the chimney. Forces per unit length were obtained by integrating the pressure and are introduced in the structure using standard FEM interpolation techniques. For the fluid problem, a fractional step scheme based on a second order pressure splitting has been used. In each fluid plane, the displacements have been taken into account considering an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian approach. The stabilization of convection and diffusion terms is achieved by means of quasi-static orthogonal subscales. For each period of time, the fluid problem was solved and the geometry of the mesh of each fluid plane is updated according to the structure displacements. Using this technique, along-wind and across-wind effects have been properly explained. The method was applied to an industrial chimney in three scenarios (with or without TMD and for different damping values) and for two wind speeds, showing different responses.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are commonly used techniques to evaluate the flow characteristics in the development stage of blood pumps. CFD technique allows rapid change to pump parameters to optimize the pump performance without having to construct a costly prototype model. These techniques are used in the construction of a bi-ventricular assist device (BVAD) which combines the functions of LVAD and RVAD in a compact unit. The BVAD construction consists of two separate chambers with similar impellers, volutes, inlet and output sections. To achieve the required flow characteristics of an average flow rate of 5 l/min and different pressure heads (left - 100mmHg and right - 20mmHg), the impellers were set at different rotating speeds. From the CFD results, a six-blade impeller design was adopted for the development of the BVAD. It was also observed that the fluid can flow smoothly through the pump with minimum shear stress and area of stagnation which are related to haemolysis and thrombosis. Based on the compatible Reynolds number the flow through the model was calculated for the left and the right pumps. As it was not possible to have both the left and right chambers in the experimental model, the left and right pumps were tested separately.

The small craft including jet-board for leisure are commonly smaller than the general commercial vessels. For the floating vessel, the motion analysis is significantly important component to design the shape. It is, however, hardly predicting its behavior by using conventional boundary element method due to violating small amplitude assumption for potential theory. The computational fluid dynamics method can afford to simulate such small craft, but its grid system was not able to calculate motion, because movable body disturbs the grid system by confliction. The dynamics fluid body interaction model with over-set mesh system can be dealt with movable floating body under irregular ocean wave. In this study, several cases were considered to reveal that DFBI is essential method to predict floating body motion. The single phase simulate was conducted to establish the shape perfection, and then the validated vessel was simulated with ocean waves weather DFBI option on or off. Through the comparison, the results between the cases of DFBI on and off shows significantly difference. It was claimed that the DFBI was necessary not only to calculation body motion, but also to predict accurate drag and lift force on the floating body for small size craft.

Unsteady natural convection of an enclosed fluid has been one of the fundamental thermo-fluid problems, of which dynamic relevance is found in many engineering applications. Together with the inherent coupling between the boundary layers and the interior core, and strong interaction between flow and temperature fields, the unsteadiness poses serious hurdles for analytical and experimental approaches. With the recent development of computers and solution algorithms, computational fluid dynamics has become the prevailing tool to tackle the underlying problems. In this presentation, a few examples of numerical studies are introduced. The usefulness and potential of numerical simulations in investigating unsteady natural convection are elaborated.
