  • Numerical calculation is applied to centrifugal pump at design condition by using commercial code STAR-CD and Tascflow, and these results are compared with experimental data at impeller outlet. Numerical analysis is also performed by changing turbulence model and discretization scheme at design condition using Tascflow. Turbulence model and discretization scheme used to Tascflow are k-$\epsilon$, k-$\omega$ turbulence model and upwind, modified linear profile scheme. W;th the same turbulence model and discretization scheme, two results of STAR-CD and Tascflow are very similar. But there is significant difference in numerical results near hub and shroud of impeller with different kinds of turbulent model and discretization scheme at design condition. And with k- $\omega$ turbulence model and modified linear profile scheme, it is showed that numerical results are very similar to experimental results of impeller outlet

  • Feasibility is studied for an application of the mass-spring lattice model (MSLM), a numerical model previously developed for unidirectional composites, to the numerical simulation of ultrasonic inspection of austenitic welds modeled as transversely isotropic. Fundamental wave processes, such as propagation, reflection, refraction, and diffraction of ultrasonic waves in such an inspection are simulated using the MSLM. All numerical results show excellent agreement with the analytical results. Further, a simplified model of austenitic weld inspection has been successfully simulated using the MSLM. In conclusion, a great potential of the MSLM in numerically simulating ultrasonic inspections of austenitic welds has been manifested in this work, though significant further efforts will be required to develop a model with field practicality.

  • This paper presents a numerical study on structural behavior of hammer head pier cap beams, extended on verges and reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates. A 3-D finite element (FE) model along with a simplified analytical model are presented. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) was adapted in the FE model and an analytical approach predicting the CFRP anchor strength was adapted in both FE and analytical model. Total five quarter-scaled pier cap beams with various CFRP reinforcing schemes were experimentally tested and analyzed with numerical approaches. Comparison between experimental results, FE results, analytical results and current ACI guideline predictions was presented. The FE results showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of failure mode, ultimate capacity, load-displacement response and strain distribution. In addition, the proposed strut-and-tie based analytical model provides the most accurate prediction of ultimate strength of extended cap beams among the three numerical approaches.

  • In this paper we presented numerical method for the simulation of powder injection molding filling process, which is one of the key processes in powder injection molding. Rheological properties of powder binder mixture such as slip phenomena and yield stress were introduced into the numerical analysis model of powder injection molding filling simulation. Numerical model can be classified into two types. One is 2.5D model which can be introduced to a arbitrary thin geometry and the other is full 3D model which can be applied to a general 3D shape. For 2.5D model we showed the validity of our CAE system with several verification examples. Finally we suggested flow analysis model for 3D powder injection molding filling simulation.

  • To analyze the saline intrusion in the place, such as an estuary, the three-dimensional numerical model is developed. In this study, the advection terms of the governing equations are discretized by upwind scheme. By using an explicit scheme for the longitudinal direction and an implicit scheme for the vertical direction, the numerical model is free from the restriction of temporal step size caused by a relatively small grid ratio. The equation of state is used to consider the density, and the scalar transport equation for salinity is employed the third order TVD to scheme to prevent unphysical oscillation near discontinuity. In order to verify saline intrusion, the numerical model is conducted to compare the previous model in the lock exchange. The present model generally show a good agreement with the previous one.

  • Nowadays, the study on Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is being performed globally. Dozens of numerical simulation tools have been developed for designing FOWTs and simulating their performances in combined wave and wind environments. On the other hand, model tests are still required to verify the results obtained from numerical simulation tools. To predict seakeeping performance of the OC3-Hywind platform, a OC3 spar model moored by a 3-leg catenary spread mooring system with a delta connection was built with a 1/128 scale ratio. The model tests were carried out for various sea states, including rotating rotor effect with wind in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank, University Of Ulsan (UOU). The model test results are compared with the numerical simulations by UOU in-house code and FAST.

  • This study on the HwaBuk Multipurpose Dam showed that two- and three- dimensional numerical model experiments, as well as hydraulic model experiments, can be useful analysis tools for engineers. A commercially available RMA2, which solves the shallow water equations, and FLOW-3D, which solves the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations, were used to simulate the hydraulic model setup. Numerical simulation results on the following were compared with the hydraulic model results: the flow in the reservoir basin and the approaching channel; the discharge in the overflow weir; the water surface profiles in the rollway, chute, and stilling basin; and the pressure distributions in the rollway. It was shown that there is a reasonably good agreement between the numerical model and the hydraulic model for the most of computations. There were, however, some differences between the numerical simulation results and hydraulic model results for the hydraulic jump in the stilling basin because of air entrainment effect.

  • A three dimensional finite element model was used to simulate rapid impact compaction (RIC) in loose granular soils using ABAQUS software for one impact point. The behavior of soil under impact loading was expressed using a cap-plasticity model. Numerical modeling was done for a site in Assalouyeh petrochemical complex in southern Iran to verify the results. In-situ settlements per blow were compared to those in the numerical model. Measurements of improvement by depth were obtained from the in-situ standard penetration, plate loading, and large density tests and were compared with the numerical model results. Contours of the equal relative density clearly showed the efficiency of RIC laterally and at depth. Plastic volumetric strains below the anvil and the effect of RIC set indicated that a set of 10 mm can be considered to be a threshold value for soil improvement using this method. The results showed that RIC strongly improved the soil up to 2 m in depth and commonly influenced the soil up to depths of 4 m.

  • A numerical model is represented to calculate the reflected waves, the runup of waves and the wave induced velocities on impermeable slopes for the normally incident wave trains of nonlinear monochromatic wave and solitary wave. The finite amplitude shallow water equations with the effects of bottom friction are solved numerically in time domain using an explicit dissipative Lax-Wendroff finite difference method. The numerical model is verified by comparisons with the other numerical results, the measured data and asymptotic results. It is found that the uprushing and downrushing of incident waves may be accurately predicted by the present numerical model. Therefore, the present numerical model can be applicable to swells as well as long waves.

  • In this study, a numerical model for analyzing frost formation phenomena on a cold flat plate has been developed. Both regions of air flow and frost layer have been coupled to calculate the amount of the heat and mass transfer between air flow and frost layer. Experiments have been also conducted to validate the numerical model. The present numerical results show a good agreement with the experimental data. The present numerical model also provides some useful data such as the temperature distribution inside the frost layer which could not be obtained through the experiments.
