This study was performed to analyze the effect on driving performance by identifying the flow characteristics of the rear diffuser such as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, velocity vector, velocity streamlines, turbulence kinetic energy and vortex-core region according to the angle of the sedan rear diffuser and the shape of the divider. The angle of the diffuser was analyzed at 2° intervals from 0° to 18°, and the divider was analyzed by changing from one to five. The three-dimensional modeling was performed using CATIA V5 and the vehicle model was selected as a sedan car in the form of an LF Sonata. The CFD analysis was performed in order to identify the flow characteristics of rear diffuser using ANSYS CFX 14.5.7. For each model, the analysis was performed under each condition with speeds of 80km/h, 100km/h, 120km/h, 140km/h. The results of the flow analysis showed that the rear diffuser angle was the best result in driving stability at 6°. The results of the study on the number of dividers showed the best result value in driving stability when the rear diffuser angle was 6° and the divider was 3 and selected as the optimal shape.

Plastic products molded by injection molding have become an essential element of our lives. In addition, plastics can replace parts that used to be metal in the past. Plastic molded products used as a part of a mechanical system require high precision. At the same time, the appearance quality of molded products is also an important evaluation factor. The appearance quality of a molded product is affected by injection molding conditions, plastic material fluidity, and the condition of the mold surface. In this study, the cause of the short shot of the dog house, which functions to assemble the plastic tailgate parts for automobiles, was analyzed. In order to solve the short shot problem of the dog house, the root thickness of the dog house, injection molding conditions, and fluidity of plastic materials were experimented. Through the injection molding experiment, it was found that when the dog house root thickness was increased from 0.8mm to 1.2mm, the filling amount of the doghouse part increased by 43% in experiment mold. These results were verified by injection molding analysis.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the flow field characteristics for exhaust gas in automobile engine DPF system. The DPF system performance is largely affected by exhaust gas flow while it passes through the complicated geometry of DOC/DPF system, fan shape structure, and perforated can with air for fuel combustion. Hence the characteristics of fluid velocity, pressure, and streamline are analyzed with velocity uniformity in front of DOC and swirl flow near the fan. It can be seen that the velocity uniformity increases with the gas flow rate including flow acceleration near the lower area of the fan. The air flow also influences the gas flow distribution close to the impeller and fan structure with complicated swirl flow. These results are expected to be applicable as fundamental design data for automobile engine exhaust system.

In this study, the flow analyses were carried out on three kinds of front wing models. The down forces of front wings which influence the stability, cornering at driving were investigated with three models. At model 1, the maximum pressure shown on the main plate of front wing is 3177.539Pa. The maximum pressures at models 2 and 3 are shown to be 3429.677Pa and 3506.494Pa, respectively. The higher the pressure, the more resistance. So, the lower the pressure, the less resistance the model gets. At model 1, the maximum velocity of stream that flows under the front wing was shown to be the smallest among three models. In case of all three models, the pressure at which the air passes through the front wing is high in the upper part of the front wing. Among three models, model 1 is thought to be the most appropriate model to give the effect of the down force while reducing the flow resistance at driving. By utilizing this study result, the flow velocity and pressure are investigated without the flow experiment at driving due to the configuration of automotive front wing, and the flow resistance can be seen.

The effect of flow direction on heat transfer in water cooling channel of lithium-ion battery is numerically investigated. Battery Design StudioⓇ software is used for modeling electro-chemical heat generation in the battery and the conjugated heat transfer is analyzed with the commercial package STAR-CCM+. The result shows that the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery with Type 1 are the lowest because the heat transfer in the entrance region near the electrode is enhanced. As the inlet velocity is increased, the maximum temperature and temperature difference of battery decreases but the pressure loss increases. The pressure loss in Type 2 channel is the lowest due to the shortest channel length, while the pressure loss with Type 3 or 4 channel is the highest because of the longest channel length. Considering heat transfer performance and pressure loss, Type 1 is the best cooling channel.

In order to satisfy the strengthening automobile exhaust gas regulation and CO2 regulation, the development of eco-friendly vehicles is actively progressing. To cope with these regulations, research on alternative fuel vehicles is being actively conducted. Alternative fuels are one of the best ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and respond to emissions and CO2 regulations. Natural gas, one of many alternative fuels, contains methane (CH4) as a main component and has abundant reserves, so it is attracting attention as a fuel that can provide stable long-term supply by replacing fossil fuels. In addition, natural gas has a high octane number, so there is room for improvement in combustion characteristics when used in SI engines, and it has the advantage of reducing harmful emissions and carbon dioxide (CO2) compared to conventional fossil fuels. When using a low-pressure injector in a turbo engine, it is difficult to secure the flow rate of fuel because the pressure difference between the injector and the manifold is small. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-pressure injector to improve this. Natural gas is a gaseous fuel and should be developed in consideration of compressible flow, Although the use of a CNG high-pressure injector is required, it is difficult to stabilize the flow due to the Mach disk and shock wave interference caused by compressible flow. If the flow is not stabilized, it is difficult to precisely control the flow. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an injector in consideration of flow characteristics. In this paper, the flow analysis according to the shape change of the injector was conducted to improve the fuel flow rate injected from the 800 kPa high pressure CNG injector.

The objectives of this study were to develop the optimal structures of recirculating aquaculture tank for improving the removal efficiency of solid materials and maintaining water quality conditions. Flow analysis was performed using the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) method to understand the hydrodynamic characteristics of the circular tank according to the angle of inclination in the tank bottom (0°, 1.5° and 3°), circulating water inflow method (underwater, horizontal nozzle, vertical nozzle and combination nozzle) and the number of inlets. As the angle in tank bottom increased, the vortex inside the tank decreased, resulting in a constant flow. In the case of the vertical nozzle type, the eddy flow in the tank was greatly improved. The vertical nozzle type showed excellent flow such as constant flow velocity distribution and uniform streamline. The combination nozzle type also showed an internal spiral flow, but the vortex reduction effect was less than the vertical nozzle type. As the number of inlets in the tank increased, problems such as speed reduction were compensated, resulting in uniform fluid flow.

There are many disadvantages to existing silencers used in power plants. Recently, high-performance silencers are required in society, so it is necessary to develop silencers accordingly. Therefore, in this study, to develop the flow silencer by taking advantage of the foamed aluminum, the property values such as loss coefficient and porosity were obtained through experiments, based on the Forchheimer's law. CFD analysis was performed by applying a porous modeling technique to foamed aluminum and the results were compared with experimental values. The error rate between the results of the experiment and the flow analysis is within about 2.79%, so the results of the experiment and the analysis agree relatively well. When the foamed aluminum was installed, the flow noise was reduced by about 5.14dB.

Used in the ceramic tile market as a representative building material, relief ceramic tile is showing increased demand recently. Since ceramic tiles are manufactured through a sintering process at over 1,000 oC after uniaxial compression molding by loading granule powders into a mold, it is very important to secure the flowability of granular powders in a mold having a relief pattern. In this study, kaolin, silica, and feldspar are used as starting materials to prepare granule powders by a spray dryer process; the surface of the granule powders is subject to hydrophobic treatment with various concentrations of stearic acid. The effect on the flowability of the granular powder according to the change of stearic acid concentration is confirmed by measuring the angle of repose, tap density, and compressibility, and the occurrence of cracks in the green body produced in the mold with the relief pattern is observed. Then, the green body is sintered by a fast firing process, and the water absorption, flexural strength, and durability are evaluated. The surface treatment of the granule powders with stearic acid improves the flowability of the granule powders, leading to a dense microstructure of the sintered body. Finally, the hydrophobic treatment of the granule powders makes it possible to manufacture relief ceramic tiles having a flexural strength of 292 N/cm, a water absorption of 0.91 %, and excellent mechanical durability

To apply CNN to a fluid problem, we need a method to effectively convert the physical quantities of fluid into an image. The performance of CNN was evaluated using the image transformation method using the minimum and maximum values of the pressure distribution data and the image transformation methods using the normal distribution of the pressure distribution data. Through the performance evaluation of the learned CNN, the image transformation methods of Method 4 and Method 5, which applied the normal distribution of representative pressure distribution data, were very effective. In particular, Method 5 includes the initial and final pressure distribution data to include overall pressure distribution data, thereby improving the resolution of the color map to improve classification performance.

In this study, the flow analyses were carried out on the electric train models with three kinds of mounting materials installed at the front part of train. By examining the results of flow rate and pressure, It was investigated which type of design should be designed to be more efficient in high-speed operation. The three types of models are set as models a, b and c, and each has its own shape. For all models, the wind speed was set at 110 km/h, the most common driving speed for wide-area electric trains. In the case of the model a, it was good at cutting the wind flow as a round shape when viewed from the top. But from the side, it showed a vortex forming in the upper corner. To the contrary, the model b, which has a wedge-shaped side, could be seen from the top as a result of a vortex. Finally, in the case of model c combined with models a and b, the least vortex, front pressure, and resistance forces were shown by selecting the flow advantages of models a and b. By utilizing this study result, the flow velocity and pressure are investigated without flow experiment by shape of the front part of electric train, and the flow capacity can be seen.

The numerical analysis of two-dimensional transient flow around the obstacle with rotated square cross sections was carried out. The obtained velocity distributions for each time step and each rotation angle were imaged to provide data for CNN(convolutional neural network). Both classification and regression neural networks were used for prediction of rotation angle. As results The classification method incorrectly predicted the rotation angle in only 2 of the 470 images. The regression method predicted the rotation angle errors within except 2 out of 470 images. From these facts, it could be concluded that both methods can be sufficiently applicable to the flow analysis.

In this study, by analyzing the flow rate and the pressure applied to the fan for the flow of air with room temperature into the fan in desktop computer, it was investigated which model was suitable for flow resistance. When comparing the speed distribution of air flow by model according to fan shape, model A was able to confirm that the fan performance was not good but the external flow was widely distributed. And model B was able to know that the performance was good but the external flow was smaller. Model C was found to have good performance and a wide distribution of outer flow. In cases of three models, it was equally shown that the pressure was highest on the blade side of the inlet where the air enters. Model B receives more pressure than models A and C when the same air flow rate is applied, so models A and C are considered more efficient cooling fans than model B. When considering the flow rates and the pressures acting on the model, model C is thought to have relatively good performance. By utilizing this study result, the flow rate and pressure are investigated without flow experiment by the shape of fan in desktop computer, and the flow capacity can be seen.

우리나라 서남해 연안역에서 해수유동을 재현하기 위해 모든 분조를 포함하고 절점변조진폭, 위상보정인자 및 천문인수를 적용한 완전한 형태의 실조석(Real Tide)을 도입하였다. 실조석으로 해수유동을 재현한 결과, 조석의 관측치와 계산치의 상관계수는 1.0으로 진폭 및 위상의 정확도가 매우 우수하였고, U성분 및 V성분으로 구분하여 나타낸 조류는 각각 평균 0.883과 0.936의 높은 상관도를 보여 실조석으로 재현하는 것이 타당한 것으로 보였다. 그리고 잔차류의 관측치와 계산치의 차는 평균 0.006 m/s로 유의미하지 않았고, 그 진 행방향은 서로 매우 유사하였다. 그리고 본 연구의 계산결과에서 관측치와 계산치 간에 나타난 유속성분 오차는 주로 고파랑이나 폭풍을 비롯한 남풍계열의 강한 바람과 같은 기상적 요인에 의한 것이 원인으로 분석되었다. 향후 해수유동 수치모형 실험에서 하나의 변수로 작용하는 기상적 요인을 고려하고 본 연구의 실조석을 재현한다면 계산결과는 더욱 향상될 것으로 기대된다.

소형선박 기관실 내 화재 시 개구부 유동 및 온도에 대해 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)를 이용하여 화재시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 열방출률이 10 kW 급인 경유(Diesel) 화재를 대상으로 하였고, 천장 통풍통의 위치, 측면 개구부 유·무 및 크기에 대한 영향을 파악하였다. 측면 개구부의 유·무 및 크기는 연기 거동 뿐 아니라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 지대한 영향을 미쳤다. 측면 개구부가 미설치되거나 크기가 작은 경우 연기층이 기관실 내 바닥까지 도달하였고, 측면 개구부의 크기가 증가함에 따라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량이 증가하고 온도는 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 반면, 천장 통풍통의 위치가 연기 거동, 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 미치는 영향은 측면 개구부 크기에 비해 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 소형선박의 기관실 내 화재 시 안전성 향상을 위해서는 천장 통풍통 위치보다 측면 개구부의 크기가 더 중요한 설계 인자인 것으로 판단된다.
