No-load speed is an important performance factor for the safe operation of hydropower systems. In turbine design, the manufacturers must conduct several model tests to calculate the accurate value of no-load speed for the complete range of operating conditions, which are expensive and time-consuming. The present study presents steady and unsteady methods for calculating no-load speed of a Francis turbine. The steady simulations are implemented using a commercial flow solver and an iterative algorithm that relies on a smooth relation between turbine torque and speed factor. The unsteady method uses unsteady RANS simulations that have been integrated with a user subroutine to compute and return the value of runner speed, time step and friction torque. The main goal of this research is to evaluate and compare the two methods by calculating turbine dynamic parameters for three test cases consisting of high and medium head Francis turbines. Overall, the numerical results agreed well with experimental data. The unsteady method provided more accurate results in the opening angle range from 20 to 26 degrees. Nevertheless, the steady results showed more consistency than unsteady results for the three different test cases at different operating conditions.

본 연구는 공압시험용 핀틀추력기의 비정상상태 특성을 예측하기 위한 1-D 시뮬레이션 적용법을 기술한다. 추력을 제어하기 위해 질량유량, 챔버압력, 노즐출구 압력은 핵심 매개변수이다. 챔버압력은 핀틀 스트로크 변화에 따라 단조롭게 증감하였지만, 추력은 챔버 압력의 변화와 다른 양상을 보였다. 핀틀이 전진할 때 핀틀 속도와 챔버 자유체적이 특정 값을 초과하면 추력 값은 초기에 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 1-D 시뮬레이션은 비정상 상태 특성을 예측하는데 한계가 있지만 실험이나 수치해석 이전에 듀얼벨 노즐과 같은 다양한 고도보정노즐 추력기의 초기 성능 평가에 여전히 유용하다.

Porthole die extrusion has a great advantage in the forming of long hollow section tubes. It is difficult to produce long hollow section tubes with complicated section by the conventional extrusion process with a mandrel on the stem Because of the limit of the length of mandrel and the complexity of cross section. Porthole die extrusion is affected by many parameters, such as extrusion ratio, extrusion speed, die geometry, porthole number, bearing length etc. Up to now, most of studies about porthole die extrusion have been investigated by experiments or steady state FE-analysis. However, in this paper, porthole die extrusion is analysed by the unsteady state 3D FE-simulation. And the result of unsteady state analysis is compared with the experimental result. Also, the surface state of extruded tubes are examined for the various process conditions.

In the present study, a numerical simulation is performed for the flow through a cooling fan. The computation was performed by using commercial code, STAR-CD. A rotating fan was simulated by rotational motions using MRF (Multiple Rotating Reference Frame) in a steady-state analysis and sliding interface (rotating meshes) in an unsteady-state analysis. The results of numerical computation were in good agreement with experimental data. In order to calculate the acoustic signal, the unsteady flow-field was firstly calculated. The acoustics of the fan is calculated by using acoustic analogy based on the unsteady flow-field. The predicted acoustic signal shows the characteristics of the uneven bladed-fan.

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.

Flutter wind-tunnel test is an expensive and complicated process. Also, the test model may has discrepancy in the structural characteristics when compared to those of the real model. "Dry Wind-Tunnel" (DWT) is an innovative testing system which consists of the ground vibration test (GVT) hardware system and software which computationally can be operated and feedback in real-time to yield rapidly the unsteady aerodynamic forces. In this paper, we study on the aerodynamic forces of DWT system to feedback in time domain. The aerodynamic forces in the reduced-frequency domain are approximated by Minimum-state approximation. And we present a state-space equation of the aerodynamic forces. With the two simulation model, we compare the results of the flutter analysis.

본 연구는 성능 해석을 통하여 1600cc급 흡기매니폴드의 흡기유량 및 분배특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 일차원 엔진 성능해석 프로그램과 3차원 유동해석프로그램을 이용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 흡기 매니폴드의 정상상태 유동해석을 수행한 결과, 일차원 유동해석과 3차원 유동해석의 유량계수 표준편차는 1% 미만으로 우수한 분배특성을 나타내었다. 일차원 해석 결과가 3차원 결과 대비 미소하게 증가된 결과를 보였지만 동등한 유량계수 경향성을 나타냈다. 비정상상태 해석은 분배특성 측면에서 정상상태 해석 결과와 유사한 결과를 보였으며, 정상상태 해석결과를 통한 비정상상태 분배특성의 예측이 가능함을 확인하였다.

In order to provide a complementary perspective to the effects of the maneuvering motions on the unsteady propeller performance, the numerical simulation of the flow field of the hull-rudder- propeller system is performed by Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes (URANS) method. Firstly, the flow fields around the submarine model without the presence of propeller in straight ahead motion and the steady diving maneuvers with submergence rudder deflections of 4°, 8° and 12° are predicted numerically. The non-uniformity characteristic of the nominal wake field is exacerbated with the increase submergence rudder angle. Then the flow field around the SUBOFF-G submarine fitted with the 4381 propeller is simulated. The axial, transverse and vertical unsteady propeller forces in different maneuvering conditions are compared. In general, as the submarine maneuvers more violently, the harmonic amplitudes of the unsteady force at the 2BPF and 3BPF increased more significantly than that at BPF.

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.
