A theoretical study of three-dimensional unsteady compressible non-reacting flow inside double flow of monolith catalytic converter system attached to 6-cylinder engine was performed for the achievement of performance improvement, reduction of light-off time, and longer service life by improving the flow distribution of pulsating exhaust gases. The differences between unsteady and steady-state flow were evaluated through the numerical computations. To obtains the boundary conditions to a numerical analysis, one dimensional non-steady gas dynamic calculation was also performed by using the method of characteristics in intake and exhaust system. Studies indicate that unsteady representation is necessary because pulsation of gas velocity may affect gas flow uniformity within the monolith. The simulation results also show that the level of flow maldistribution in the monolith heavily depends on curvature and angles of separation streamline of mixing pipe that homogenizes the exhaust gas from individual cylinders. It is also found that on dual flow converter systems, there is severe interactions of each pulsating exhaust gas flow and the length of mixing pipe and junction geometry influence greatly on the degree of flow distribution.

An accelerating flow field through a compressor cascade is studied numerically by unsteady computational simulation. The two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for compressible flow is used for the study of unsteady high incidence angle flow, with preconditioning scheme to cover the wide range of Mach number and $\kappa-\omega$ model for the turbulent viscous flow analysis. A DCA(double circular arc) compressor blade is accelerated artificially in this study to understand the unsteady effect by comparing the present results with the existing steady-state experimental and computational results. Also, the accelerating flow field during the starting phase of gas turbine is studied with actual experimental data for the understanding of flow field and performance characteristics at off-design condition.

Fractional Step Methods(FSM) are popular in simulation of unsteady incompressible flow. In this study, we demonstrate that FSM, combined with a Volume-Of-Fluid method, can be further applied to simulation of multiphase flow. The interface between the fluids is constructed by the effective least squares volume-of-fluid interface reconstruction algorithm and advected by the velocity using the operator split advection algorithm. To verify our numerical methodology, our results are compared with other authors' numerical and experimental results for the benchmark problems, revealing excellent agreement. The present FSM sheds light on accurate simulation of turbulent multiphase flow which is found in many engineering applications.

The unsteady supersonic flow over two- and three-dimensional cavities has been analyzed by the integration of unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) with the k-$\omega$ turbulence model. The unsteady flow is characterized by the periodicity due to the mutual relation between the shear layer and the internal flow in the cavity. An explicit 4th order Runge-Kutta scheme and an upwind TVD scheme based on the flux vector split with the van Leer limiters are used for time and space discritizations, respectively. The cavity has a L/D ratio of 3 for two-dimensional case, and same L/D and W/D ratio of I for three-dimensional case. The Mach and Reynolds numbers are 1.5 and 450000 respectively. In the three-dimensional flow, the field is observed to oscillate in the 'shear layer mode' with a feedback mechanism that follows Rossiter's formula. In the two-dimensional simulation, the self-sustained oscillating flow has more violent fluctuation inside the cavity. The primary fluctuating frequencies of two- and three- dimensional flow agree very well with the 2nd mode of Rossiter's frequency. In the three-dimensional flow, the 1st mode of frequency could be seen.

This paper describes an internal flow characteristics of a fuel pressurized blower, used for 1kW domestic fuel cell system. To analyze the flow field inside the diaphragm cavity, compressible unsteady numerical simulation is introduced. SST model with scalable wall function is employed to estimate the eddy viscosity. Moving mesh system is applied to the numerical analysis for describing the volume change of a diaphragm cavity in time. Throughout numerical simulation with the modeling of the inlet and outlet valves in a diaphragm cavity, unsteady nature of an internal flow is successfully analyzed. Force variations on the lower plate of a diaphragm cavity are evaluated in time. It is found that the driving force at the suction stage of a diaphragm cavity is more necessary than that at the discharging stage.

A high-order accurate Euler flow solver based on a discontinuous Galerkin method has been developed for the numerical simulation of unsteady flows on unstructured meshes. A multi-level solution-adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening technique was adopted to enhance the resolution of numerical solutions efficiently by increasing mesh density in the high-gradient region. An acoustic wave scattering problem was investigated to assess the accuracy of the present discontinuous Galerkin solver, and a supersonic flow in a wind tunnel with a forward facing step was simulated by using the adaptive mesh refinement technique. It was shown that the present discontinuous Galerkin flow solver can capture unsteady flows including the propagation and scattering of the acoustic waves as well as the strong shock waves.

A Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the flow in an inducer is carried out under flow rate oscillations. The present study focuses on the dynamic response of the backflow and the unsteady pressure performance to the flow rate fluctuations under non-cavitation conditions. The amplitude of angular momentum fluctuation evaluated by LES is larger than that evaluated by RANS. However, the phase delay of backflow is nearly the same as RANS calculation. The pressure performance curve exhibits a closed curve caused by the inertia effect associated with the flow rate fluctuations. Compared with simplified one dimensional evaluation of the inertia component, the component obtained by LES is smaller. The negative slope of averaged performance curve becomes larger under unsteady conditions. From the conservations of angular momentum and energy, an expression useful for the evaluation of unsteady pressure rise was obtained. The examination of each term of this expression show that the apparent decrease of inertia effects is caused by the response delay of Euler's head and that the increase of negative slope is caused by the delay of inertial term associated with the delay of backflow response. These results are qualitatively confirmed by experiments.

Steady state computations are routinely used by design engineers to evaluate and compare losses in hydraulic components. In the case of the draft tube diffuser, however, experiments have shown that while a significant number of operating conditions can adequately be evaluated using steady state computations, a few operating conditions require unsteady simulations to accurately evaluate losses. This paper presents a study that assesses the predictive capacity of a combination of steady and unsteady RANS numerical computations to predict draft tube losses over the complete range of operation of a Francis turbine. For the prediction of the draft tube performance using k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, a methodology has been proposed to average global performance indicators of steady flow computations such as the pressure recovery factor over an adequate number of periods to obtain correct results. The methodology will be validated using two distinct flow solvers, CFX and OpenFOAM, and through a systematic comparison with experimental results obtained on the FLINDT model draft tube.

본 연구에서는 점진적인 유량 및 압력이 변화하는 상수관망에서 Rigid Water Column Theory를 이용하여 정상모형의 확장기간 모의해석보다 정확하고 수충격 해석보다는 계산비용 및 노력 측면에서 효율적으로 장시간 부정류 해석 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 실제관망에 대하여 24 시간 열 수요량을 고려한 부정류 해석 및 밸브폐쇄로 인한 수충격해석 모의에 적용하였고 해석 결과는 다음과 같다. 24 시간 일변화 모의의 경우에 수요량이 증가할 경우 모든 관로에서 압력감소가 나타났으며 수요량이 감소할 경우 압력증가가 나타났다. 그리고 일 수요량의 변화에 따라 나타난 절점에서의 유량 및 압력 변화폭은 각 절점마다 다르고 수요량과 유량의 변화양상이 반대로 나타나는 관로도 발생하고 있으며 KYPIPE2의 결과와 본 모형의 유량 및 압력차이도 발생하고 있어 상수관망의 동역학적 해석의 필요성이 대두되었다. 밸브폐쇄로 인한 수충격모의에 본 모형이 적용되었을 때 본 모형은 유체의 압축성을 무시함으로 인해 밸브 완전 폐쇄와 동시에 압력과 유량의 변화가 전 관망에 발생하였고 수충격모형은 유체의 탄성으로 인해 발생된 압력파의 도달시간이 필요함으로 압력과 유량변화가 지체되어 나타났으나 전체적인 변화양상 및 변화폭의 크기 등은 유사한 경향을 나타내어 본 모형의 적용성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 프로그램은 장기간 점진적인 관로 부정류를 비교적 정확하게 해석할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 이를 이용하여 관로내 오염물의 확산해석, 수요량을 고려한 절점에서의 압력제어 및 누수저감, 장기간 관로내의 유량 및 압력 변화를 고려한 관망관리 등의 분야에서 효율적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.

Even though the benefit of flight at high angle-of-attack is to be able to reduce the speed of flight and maneuvers in complex flight environment, the flight at high angle-of-attack, however, is easy to be in stall which is characterized by sever unsteady flow separation over an airfoil. Current unsteady numerical analysis using DES was conducted to predict the aerodynamic characteristics of a NACA 0021 airfoil at high angle-of-attack conditions. And this provides the comparison with the steady numerical one with the typical turbulence models. The unsteady calculation by DES is appropriate in terms of predicting the aerodynamic performance of NACA 0021 airfoil at high angle-of-attack conditions.
