In this study, numerical simulation has been conducted to investigate flow characteristics in air supply room for container vessels by a 3-dimension numerical simulation. A commercial CFD program, FLUENT, is used on the analysis. It is shown that the air supply efficiency in this room can be improved by changing position of axial fan, even though other conditions still remain unchanged.

For a die casting mold, generally, the casting layout design should be considered based on the relation among injection system, casting condition, gate system, and cooling system. Also, the extent or the location of product defects was differentiated according to the various relations of the above conditions. In this research, in order to optimize the casting layout design of an automotive Oil Pan_DX2E, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed with two layout designs by using the simulation software (AnyCasting). The simulation results were analyzed and compared carefully in order to apply them into the production die-casting mold. During the filling process with two models, internal porosities caused by air entrapments were predicted and also compared with the modification of the gate system and overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities occurring during the solidification process were predicted and also compared with the modified gate system.

A 2D axisymmetric numerical analysis was performed to study the characteristics of charge process inside solar thermal storage tank. The interfacial area density and inertial resistance of filler material are selected as simulation parameters. The interfacial area density is varied as 800, 2000, and 4000 1/m. The inertial resistance is varied as 1, 3, and 5 1/m. When the interfacial area density increases from 800 to 4000 1/m, the discrepancy of the temperature distributions between the filler and heat transfer fluid decreases. As inertial resistance increases from 1 to 5, both of the temperature and fluid flow pattern changes considerably.

In the present numerical study, simple stenotic artery models using pulsatile flow condition were investigated. A reversing sinusoidal velocity for pulsatile flow was imposed at the flow inlet and the corresponding based on the vessel radius. The stenotic geometries modeled using mechanical 3D CAD. It has been used that consist of 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 0.75 and 0.8 stenotic rate in a cylindrical tube. In this paper, numerical solutions are presented for a second harmonic oscillatory flow using commercial code CFX 14. As stenosis rate increases, the maximum wall shear stress(WSS) increases while the minimum WSS decreases. As the stenotic rate increases, the pressure drop at the throat severely decreases to collapse the artery and plaque. It is found that the fluid mechanical disturbances due to the constriction were highly sensitive with rate of stenosis. When stenosis rate increases, the recirculation region exists. In this recirculation region the possibility of plaque attachment is increasingly higher. The present results enhance our understanding of the hemodynamics of a stenotic artery.

Aerodynamic coefficients of a reentry bodyin hypersonic flowfiled are calculated by using a three-dimensional flow solver. The high temperature real gas effects, thermal excitations and chemical reactions of air, are accounted for in the calculation. The reasonable agreement between the calculated aerodynamic coefficients and the Apollo AS-202 flight date are obtained. The effects of thermochemical nonequilibrium on the aerodynamic predictions are shown to be non-negligible.

Numerical analysis of the electric vehicle battery was performed for the optimization of the thermal management under various operating conditions. For the analysis of internal flow and temperature distributions under the different operating conditions of battery, the battery system which was packed 18 battery cell with -25℃∼ 65℃ operating temperature range was considered, and the air flow rate, velocity, and ambient temperature conditions were varied and compared. It was revealed that the cooling system for battery was necessary to maintain its performance for hot ambient conditions. Especially, in this condition, at least 90m3/h of air flow rate are required to maintain the module temperature under 40℃. However, heating system of battery for cold ambient conditions doesn't need.

This paper presents the theoretical analysis for the flow driven by surface tension and gravity force in an inclined circular tube. The governing equation is developed to describe the displacement of a Newtonian fluid that continuously flew into a circular tube by surface tension, which represents a second-order, nonlinear, nonhomogeneous and ordinary differencial form. It was found that the theoretical predictions of the governing equation were excellent agreement with the unsteady state solutions for horizontal tube and the results of force balance equation for steady state.

In this study, we modeled a actual shape of a plate heat exchanger into triangular grooved channel and tried to examine flow characteristics experimentally by particle image velocimetry. Five Reynolds numbers were selected with the height of grooved channel and sectional mean velocity of inlet flow. As a result, the triangular grooved channel had a compound flow consisting of the flow in lower channel and the groove flow receiving shear stress by the channel flow. The sheared mixing layer, in the boundary between the triangular groove and the channel, affected main flow to raise turbulent in the channel.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual field application of the airless paint spraying pump driven by the hydraulic power unit under high pressure condition. The velocity and the pressure distributions are obtained using the turbulent k-ε model. The flow characteristics under design condition of spraying pump was numerically conducted by commercial fluid dynamic code(CFX ver. 13). The numerical analysis was performed by transient technique according to the variation of stroke times, which is changing from 0 to 1 seconds by interval of 0.01. Turbulence model, k-ω SST was selected to quaranty more accurate prediction of oil flow. The ICEM-CFD 13 and CFXMesher, reliable grid generation software were also adapted to secure high quality grid necessary for the reliable analysis. According to the simulation results, the flow rate was supplied to the paint spraying pump is 5l/min. These results are in good agreement with design results and could be applied to the design of the high viscosity paint spraying pump.

In this research, the heat and flow analysis in a condenser of vehicle HVAC system was investigated numerically regarding the different shapes of the condenser tube. The velocity, pressure, and temperature distribution of the test fluid(R-134A) inside the tube were numerically calculated for the optimum design of the condenser tube for two different length with four different inlet velocities. In addition, the local pressure and temperature distributions for total tube length were calculated and the variation of pressure drop of the R-134A with flow rate were also calculated numerically. The tube at case 1 with less curved elbows was determined for the better design than case 2 in the aspect of energy-effective shape of the condenser tube.

판형 열교환기의 유로 형상을 모사한 유동장을 대상으로 입자영상유속계를 이용 하여 속도를 계측하였으며, 시계열 속도분포를 고찰하였다. 그 결과 삼각형상 그루브 내의 유동형태는 채널흐름으로부터 전달받은 전단응력이 그루브 내부를 순환하는 회전에너 지로 전환되면서 강제와류와 유사한 달걀형의 일그러진 타원형의 주순환류가 존재하며, 레이놀즈수의 증가에 따라 전단혼합층의 상대적 영향이 감소하였다.

The effect of the cavity behind Rectangle Bluff Body in turbulent single-phase flow was studied using Particle Image velocimetry (PIV). The results for the time-averaged velocity showed a recirculation flow behind the bluff body. The horizontal location behind the bluff body where the time-averaged vertical and horizontal velocity components were zero was found at approximately 1.2H and the end of the re- circulation region was shifted upstream by effect of the cavity.

The present study investigated the blood flow at microvascular network. The role of the blood viscosity and the yield stress of blood on the flow at the microvascular network was examined to find the condition of hemostasis. When the yield stress was less than 0.005Pa, there was no stagnant region in the capillary network used in the study. However, when the yield stress increased to 0.05Pa, stagnant areas began to appear, which grew and expanded rapidly with further increase in the yield stress. From the blood viscosity profile of a patient, one can estimate the yield stress of blood, from which the risk of hemostasis can be determined.

The SMC(Sheet molding compound) process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce parts that are large, thin, lightweight, strong and stiff. Compression molded parts are formed by squeezing a glass fiber reinforced UP(Unsaturated Polyester) sheet, known as sheet mold compound(SMC), between two heated cavity surfaces. This paper has performed flow analysis to predict optimization process of low density SMC. After five types of design variables and six types of response variables were defined, DOE(Design of Experiment) and RSM (Response Surface Method) were applied in order to measure sensitivity of design variables and realize optimization through regression model. After design optimization, the total warpage of the SMC is reduced by about 12% compared to the initial design of SMC and cure time, cure temperature, clamping force and flow pressure are decreased by 0.6∼27% in comparison with the initial design. By doing this, the production costs could be diminished.
