We investigate the slat noise generation mechanism by using large-eddy simulation (LES) and simple source modeling based on linearized Euler equations. An incompressible LES of an MD 30P30N three-element airfoil in the high-lift configuration is conducted at $Re_c=1.7{\times}10^6$. Using the total derivative of the hydrodynamic pressure (DP/Dt) acquired from the incompressible LES, representative noise sources in the slat cove region are characterized in terms of simple sources such as frequency-specific monopoles and dipoles. Acoustic radiation around the 30P30N multi-element airfoil is effectively computed using the Brinkman penalization method incorporated with the linearized Euler equation. The directivity pattern of $p^{\prime}_{rms}$ at $r=20c_{slat}$ in the multiple sources is closely compared to that obtained by the application of the LES/Ffowcs-Williams and Hawking's methods to the entire flow field. The power spectrum of p' at ${\theta}=290^{\circ}$ is in good agreement with the data reported in BANC-III, especially the broadband part of the spectrum with a decaying slope ${\propto}f^{-3}$.

본 연구는 무기체계 획득의 신뢰성과 연구개발의 효과를 증대하기 위한 모델링과 시뮬레이션 방법을 전산유체역학을 이용하여 연구하였다. 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 이용한 시험 평가가 무기체계의 획득에 신뢰성을 줄 수 있고, 시험에 필요한 시간과 비용의 절감, 사전에 예측하고 사후에 검증이 가능한 자료를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 우리의 무기체계 획득에서는 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 적극적으로 활용하지 않고 있으며 검증을 위한 소프트웨어 사용도 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학을 이용한 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 위해 GAMBIT과 FLUENT를 이용하여 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 그 결과 기존의 연구보다 더 좋은 결과 확인하였고 향후 무기체계의 획득과 연구개발에 많이 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

우리나라의 국방 분야에서 모델링 및 시뮬레이션의 수준은 외국에 비해 상당히 저조하며, 무기체계의 연구 개발과 획득에서 신뢰성 부분을 해결하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학을 이용하여 M&S를 공학적인 차원에서 모델링과 시뮬레이션의 적용 가능성을 제시하고, 향후 효과적인 무기체계의 연구개발과 획득에 적극 활용하고자 한다.

A model combining multi-dimensional discretized population balance equations with a computational fluid dynamics simulation (CFD-DPBE model) was developed and applied to simulate turbulent flocculation and sedimentation processes in sediment retention basins. Computation fluid dynamics and the discretized population balance equations were solved to generate steady state flow field data and simulate flocculation and sedimentation processes in a sequential manner. Up-to-date numerical algorithms, such as operator splitting and LeVeque flux-corrected upwind schemes, were applied to cope with the computational demands caused by complexity and nonlinearity of the population balance equations and the instability caused by advection-dominated transport. In a modeling and simulation study with a two-dimensional simplified pond system, applicability of the CFD-DPBE model was demonstrated by tracking mass balances and floc size evolutions and by examining particle/floc size and solid concentration distributions. Thus, the CFD-DPBE model may be used as a valuable simulation tool for natural and engineered flocculation and sedimentation systems as well as for flocculant-aided sediment retention ponds.

The study of bacterial flagellar swimming motion remains an interesting and challenging research subject in the fields of hydrodynamics and bio-locomotion. This swimming motion is characterized by very low Reynolds numbers, which is unique and time reversible. In particular, the effect of rotation of helical flagella of bacterium on swimming motion requires detailed multi-disciplinary analysis. Clear understanding of such swimming motion will not only be beneficial for biologists but also to engineers interested in developing nanorobots mimicking bacterial swimming. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of a three dimensional single flagellated bacteria has been developed and the fluid flow around the flagellum is investigated. CFD-based modeling studies were conducted to find the variables that affect the forward thrust experienced by the swimming bacterium. It is found that the propulsive force increases with increase in rotational velocity of flagellum and viscosity of surrounding fluid. It is also deduced from the study that the forward force depends on the geometry of helical flagella (directly proportional to square of the helical radius and inversely proportional to pitch).

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.

In this study, aerodynamic analyses based on unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been conducted for a 2-bladed vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) configuration. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence models are solved for unsteady flow problems. The experiment model of 2-bladed VAWT has been designed and tested in this study. Aerodynamic experiment of the present VAWT model are effectively conducted using the vehicle mounted testing system. The comparison result between the experiment and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis are presented in order to verify the accuracy of CFD modeling with different turbulent models.

This study analyzes especially drag and lift models recently developed for fluid-solid, fluid-fluid or liquid-liquid two-phase flows to understand their applicability on the computational fluid dynamics, CFD modeling of pulsatile blood flow. Virtual mass effect and the effect of red blood cells, RBCs aggregation on CFD modeling of blood flow are also shortly reviewed to recognize future tendencies in this field. Recent studies on two-phase flows are found as very useful to develop more powerful drag-lift models that reflect the effects of blood cell's shape, deformation, concentration, and aggregation.

Accurate turbulence modeling is an essential prerequisite for the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Wind Engineering. At present the most popular turbulence model for general engineering flow problems is the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. Models such as this are based on the isotropic eddy viscosity concept and have well documented shortcomings (Murakami et al. 1993) for flows encountered in Wind Engineering. This paper presents an objective assessment of several available alternative models. The CFD results for the flow around a full-scale (6 m) three-dimensional surface mounted cube in an atmospheric boundary layer are compared with recently obtained data. Cube orientations normal and skewed at $45^{\circ}$ to the incident wind have been analysed at Reynolds at Reynolds number of greater than $10^6$. In addition to turbulence modeling other aspects of the CFD procedure are analysed and their effects are discussed.

가스터빈 희박 예혼합 연소기에서 발생하는 연소 불안정 현상을 모델링하기 위해서는 화염의 동 특성에 대한 정량적, 정성적 분석이 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 화염전달함수가 전산유체역학을 통하여 모델링되었다. 기존 화염전달함수의 연구 결과로부터, 화염전달함수의 결과는 화염의 구조에 크게 의존하는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구에서는 실제 계측된 화염의 구조와 유사한 형상을 갖도록 열전달 조건을 최적화한 후, 동일 조건에서 화염전달함수가 모델링되었다. 화염의 형상을 정확하게 예측할 수 있다면, 이로부터 전달함수의 이득값과 위상차의 모델링 결과 역시 실험값과 유사한 거동을 확인할 수 있었다.
