Numerical simulation is conducted to clarify the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of HVAC(Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning) for Mugunghwa passenger car. The HVAC system is installed under the floor of carbody. This new HVAC system has a lot of merits in respect of the center of gravity of carbody, flow induced noise and reduction of condensation water etc. The standard k-epsilon turbulent model and SIMPLEC algorithm based on finite volume method are used to solve the physical HVAC model. To assure convergence, QUICK scheme for momentum equation and the first order upwind scheme for turbulent equations are used. From the results of simulation, the temperature and velocity magnitude are also distributed uniformly in the interior of car.

In this study, aerodynmaic characteristics of the notch-back and fast-backpassenger vehicle models(1/10~1/12 acale) attached with winglets were experimentally investigated in a low speed wind tunnel. For various positions(X/L). tilted angles($\beta$) of a winglet, the aerodynamic forces on the vehicle model and rear-surface pressures were measured at various flow speeds. Also a flow of model surface was visualized by tuft method. The experimental results showed that winglets effect aerodynamic characteristics of vehicle models. A maximum of 3% reduction in lift coefficient was achieved with winglets at $\alpha$=-30$^{\circ}$. A maximum of 10% reduction in drag coefficient was achieved for a model with winglets and a rear-spoiler.

This paper describes the flow visualization around the model of a commercial passenger airplane, Boeing 747-400, which cruises in the transonic speed. The geometry was realized through the reverse engineering based on the photogrammetry. The three-dimensional inviscid steady compressible governing equations are solved in the unstructured grid system under the cruise condition and in a finite volume method. The convective term is processed by the Crank-Nicholson scheme and first order upwind scheme is applied. The lift and drag forces in the wing with engines increase by 1.49% End 3.9%, respectively compared with the wing without engines.

The safety at this study is investigated by flow or stress analyses due to configuration or installation direction of fuel tank in the existing CNG bus. In case of the lower ceiling with sharp type, the equivalent stress due to the explosion of fuel tank is less than the type of flat or arc. it becomes safer on passenger. In case of the installation direction of fuel tank in the existing CNG bus, the stress applied on the lower ceiling at transverse direction becomes less than at longitudinal direction. It is more stable on the safety of passenger. The harm on the explosion accident can be prevented by use of the analysis result at this study.

The rail sector, despite its potential for curtailing the present chaotic transport situation in Lagos, remains inefficient and underutilized. In spite of past initiatives and the current attempt by the Lagos State Government to provide a mass transit rail service in Lagos, the share of rail mode in the transport sector has not been encouraging and the railway plays an insignificant role in urban mass transit in Lagos at present. This paper sets out to assess the usage of the Lagos mass transit trains. Hence, the paper determines the passenger traffic flow along the rail route in Lagos and the number of passengers carried between 2000 and 2009 by the Lagos Mass Transit Trains (LMTT) with a view to assessing the usage of the present LMTT. This paper also discusses the historical development of Nigerian railway and describes rail transport in Lagos. Data were obtained through secondary sources coupled with review of literature. The result of this study shows that for a period of 10 years (2000-2009), Lagos mass transit trains carried a total of 9,870,101 passengers, which gives an average of 987,010 passengers annually. This suggests that the service of the Lagos mass transit train is grossly underutilized. However, LMTT contributes enormously to NRC by carrying 68.5% of the total passenger traffic of NRC between 2000 and 2009. In terms of passenger traffic flow along the route of LMTT, for a period of 1 year, Agbado station recorded the largest number of passengers (393,811), followed by Ijoko (163,652) and Iddo (120,787), while Iganmu station has the lowest number of rail commuters (16,919). This study also discloses that the major commodities hauled by Lagos district of NRC from Lagos to the northern parts of the country in 2007 are Cars, Cement, Billet and Wheat.

2003년 대구 지하철(중앙역) 화재 사건 당시의 화재 유동 및 승객 피난 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 화재 발생 첫 지점은 중앙역 지하 3층 객차 내부이며, 지하 3층과 지하 2층의 화재 및 연기 유동을 FLUENT 6.2를 이용하여 수치해석 하였다. 화재 객차 및 승강장에서의 이산화탄소 및 온도분포를 예측하였으며, 수치해석을 통하여 구해진 data는 승객 피난 시뮬레이션(EXODUS)의 입력 인자로 사용되었다. 수치해석에서 가장 높은 온도는 1500K로 조사되었다. EXODUS를 이용하여 지하 3층에서 지하1층까지 승객 피난 시뮬레이션이 수행되었으며, 총 피난 승객은 1000명으로 가정하였다. 이중 640명은 객차 내부에, 360명은 승강장에 존재하는 것으로 하고 계산을 수행하였다. 피난 시뮬레이션 결과 135명이 사망하였으며 이는 대구 화재 사고결과에 비교적 근접하는 수치이다. 또한 평균 피난 시간은 10분 19초로 조사가 되었다.

Carbon dioxide concentration of railroad passenger cabin is obliged to be kept lower than guideline values of 'Indoor air quality guideline for public transportations', but actual carbon dioxide concentration frequently exceeds this guideline value during the morning and evening rush hours. For improving comfortability and satisfaction of passengers, concentration control method using $Al_2O_3$ adsorbents was presented. The adsorbent is made from $Al_2O_3$ and LiOH. $Al_2O_3$ perform as a frame and LiOH as a chemical adsorbent. The adsorbent performance experiment was carried out by measuring concentration change of Carbon dioxide in terms of flow, initial concentration and amount of adsorbent. It is expexted that the obtained results will be used to lower carbon dioxide concentration of railroad passenger cabin.

In this study, the prediction of performances and emissions of the gasoline engine of a light passenger car has been accomplished. The method of characteristics including friction, heat transfer, area change and entropy gradients was used to analyze the flow in the intake and exhaust systems. For in-cylinder calculation, the single-zone model was adopted for the periods of the intake, exhaust, compression and the expansion of the burnt gas and the 2-zone expansion model was applied to the period of combustion process. The simulation program was verified by comparison with the experimental values both for the naturally aspirated engine and the turbocharged engine showing good agreements. Using the simulation program, multi-valve system and turbocharging were examined as a means of increasing engine Performances.

When a ship is damaged and flooded, the motion of the damaged ship is significantly influenced by the flooding water dynamics. The flooding water in the damaged ship has been treated as a lumped mass under the quasi-static assumption in most of previous researches. To calculate the motion of damaged ship rigorously, it is necessary to analyze the coupled dynamics of flooding water. In this study, a series of numerical and experimental studies is conducted for the damaged part of ITTC RORO passenger. FLOW3D is used for investigating the feasibility of the state of the art CFD technique. An applicability of the coupled motion analysis of damaged ships can be confirmed by agreement between the numerical results and the model experiments. A CFD technique is considered for the numerical modeling of the dynamics of flooding water.
