Aerial work platform truck is used in various ways depending on the surrounding environment, of city roads, farming areas, and industrial sites. Air flow, drag force and torque in surroundig the flow field of AWP have been analyzed with CFD method. The overall air flow rate decreases as the AWP passes and increases between the vehicle and the boom, at the boom connections, and at the bottom of the work platform. The drag force and torque on the boom, workspace, and the combined boom and workspace are largely affected by air flow velocity. The boom's drag and torque are approximately 2.2 and 1.3 times greater than those of the work platform, respectively. These predicted results can be widely applied as basic conceptual design data for highly efficient aerial work platform truck.

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.

파력발전장치 중 진동수주(Oscillating Water Column)형은 3단계 에너지 변환과정을 거치게 된다. 그 중 파랑에너지를 공기에너지로 변환하는 장치인 공기실의 형상을 바꿔가며 그에 따른 성능을 상용 CFD 코드인 FLUENT를 이용한 수치 해석 기법으로 연구하여 보았다. 통상 OWC형 파력발전장치는 공기실과, 터빈이 설치되는 덕트 간에 효율적인 이유로 급축소 형태를 취하고 있는데 이 때 공기실과 터빈 연결부의 형상이 파력발전 장치 전체 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치므로 공기실내의 압력을 최소화하고 터빈 유입유속의 가속화가 용이한 가장 적합한 형상을 정상 및 비정상 해석을 통하여 찾고자 하였다.
