A numerical study of the flow characteristics inside a U-type circular tube is carried out in this paper. The numerical simulations carried out by using a Navier-Stokes code which is commercially available. Before detailed numerical simulations, validation of present numerical approach is made by comparing numerical solutions with experimental data. Numerical simulations are performed to study the effect of curvature on the flow characteristics inside a U-type tube. Numerical solutions show that a significant effect on the secondary flow structure in the cross section of the tube, especially in the curved section is shown when the curvature ratio, ratio of curvature to tube diameter, is smaller than about 3.5. As the curvature ratio decreases below 3.5, a counter rotating vortex is found below the primary vortex in the cross section of the tube. Another dramatic change of the flow structure is the formation of streamwise separation zone when the curvature ratio is decreased below 1.25.

In this paper, a reliability-groundwater flow program is developed by coupling the 3-D finite element numerical groundwater flow program with first and second order reliability program. The numerical groundwater program developed called DGU-FLOW is verified by solving the examples of groundwater flow through the underground excavation and comparing the results with those of commercial MODFLOW 3D programs. Reliability routine of the program is also verified by comparing the probability of failure of the flow model from FORM/SORM with that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. The difference of out-flux and total head calculated near the bottom of the excavation using the deterministic 3D groundwater flow and the commercial programs was negligible. The reliability analysis of the groundwater flow showed that the probability of failure from the first and second order reliability method are quite close that of Monte-Carlo Simulation. Therefore, the developed program is considered effective for analyzing the groundwater flow with uncertainty in hydraulic conductivity of the soils.

복단면 형태를 이루는 직선하도 내 사행하는 저수로의 형태에 따른 흐름 특성을 파악하기 위해, 국내 대표적인 하도 형태를 상정해 실내 수리모형을 실시해서 3차원 수치모의의 유효성을 확인하고, 이를 바탕으로 다른 유형의 하도 형태에 대해서도 수치모의로 검토를 실시하였다. 본 연구결과, 수리모형 실험에서 관측한 수심별 유속값을 이용하여 수치모형의 검정을 수행한 결과, 수치모의 결과와 충분히 일치하는 것으로 확인하였다. 이를 토대로, 추가적인 저수로 형태 변화에 따른 유동장에 대해 분석한 바에 따르면, 선행 연구들에서 검토된 이차류 현상이 발생하였음을 확인한 한편, 고수부지 내 유수단면적 확대에 따라 최고유속분포 지점이 이동하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로 저수로 폭 변화가 흐름에 영향을 끼쳐 궁극적으로 하천설계에 중요한 요소인 수충부의 위치와 그 영향 정도를 파악하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Flow fields in model engine cooling passages are studied numerically by using TURBO-3D program, a finite volume based 3-D turbulent flow program adopting a general body fitted coordinate system. The effects of exit position on mass flow rate at each gasket hole are examined for a model cooling passage in order to understand the flow distribution inside the water jacket. The results of the present study can be applied to the design of high performance, high reliability engine.

This paper presents 3D numerical simulations of a Free Standing Hybrid Riser under Vortex Induced Vibration, with prescribed motion on the top to replace the motion of the buoyancy can. The model is calculated using a fully implicit discretization scheme. The flow field around the riser is computed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The fluid domain is discretized using the overset grid approach. Grid points in near-wall regions of riser are of high resolution, while far field flow is in relatively coarse grid. Fluid-structure interaction is accomplished by communication between fluid solver and riser motion solver. Simulation is based on previous experimental data. Two cases are studied with different current speeds, where the motion of the buoyancy can is approximated to a 'banana' shape. A fully three-dimensional CFD approach for VIV simulation for a top side moving Riser has been presented. This paper also presents a simulation of a riser connected to a platform under harmonic regular waves.

In case of constructing submerged breakwaters for the purpose of preventing coastal erosion, the number of submerged breakwaters, as well as their asymmetry is dependent on the field conditions. The aim of the present study was to examine the 3-D hydrodynamic characteristics (3-D wave field, wave height, mean water level, and mean flow) around the asymmetric submerged breakwaters using a 3-D numerical model, LES-WASS-3D, which was validated through a comparison with existing experimental data and showed fairly nice agreement. From the numerical results, the wave height, mean water level, and mean flow are discussed in relation with the variation in the breakwater length ratio.

In this study, a mini hydro cyclone was designed and manufactured to achieve an inlet flow rate of 2 L/min in the experiment, which was conducted using alumina powder with a specific gravity of 3.97. This hydro cyclone was studied for using in steam and water analysis system (SWAS) of thermal power plant and was manufactured by 3D printing. Numerical analysis was performed with Solidworks Flow Simulation, utilizing the reynolds stress method (RSM) of fluid multiphase flow analysis models. Experimental and numerical analysis were performed under the three conditions of inlet velocity 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 m/s. The separation efficiency was over 80% at all inlet velocity conditions. At the inlet velocity 4m/s, the separation efficiency was the best, and it was confirmed that the efficiency was more than 90%.

본 연구에서는 조력발전소 배수갑문의 형상과 배치에 따른 방류능력을 해석하는데 3차원 수치모의가 효과적으로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다. 3차원 수치모형은 RANS를 지배방정식으로 하는 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하였다. 본 연구결과 배수갑문의 방류능력은 물받이길이와 도류벽의 접근각도에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이의 개선 여부에 따라 $10\%$ 이상의 방류량 차이가 발생하였다. 또한 방류량은 배수문과 수차구조물을 연결하는 구조물의 형상과 물받이 끝 사면경사의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 배수갑문의 설계시 방류능력 개선을 위해서는 수리학적 검토가 필요하며, 수치모형실험이 수리모형실험과 더불어 유용한 해석도구로 이용될 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we have developed numerical model for particulated flow through narrow slit using Eulerian-Granular method. Commercial software (FLUENT) was utilized as simulation tool and main focus was to identify the effect from various numerical options for modeling of solid particles as continuos phase in granular flow. Gidaspow model was chosen as basic model for solid viscosity and drag model. And lun-et-al model was used as solid pressure and radial distribution model, respectively. Several other model options in FLUENT were tested considering the cross related effect. Mass flow rate of the particulate through the slit was measured to compare. Due to the high volume density of the stacked particulates above the slit, effect from various numerical options were not significant. The numerical results from basic model were also compared with experimental results and showed very good agreement. The effects from the characteristics of particles such as diameter, angle of internal friction, and collision coefficient were also analyzed for future design of velocity resistance layer in solar thermal absorber. Angle of internal friction was found to be the dominat variable for the particle mass flow rate considerably. More defined 3D model along with energy equation for complete solar thermal absorber design is currently underway.
