국내 자연재난 피해의 50%는 태풍에 의해 발생하며, 최근 태풍에 동반된 강풍에 의한 인명 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 재난 피해 저감을 위한 재난 안전 교육의 일환으로 국내의 강풍체험시설은 대부분 제한된 공간에 설치되어 체험을 위한 내부 유동장의 효과적 설계가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 기법을 이용하여 강풍 체험장의 내부 유동장을 해석하였으며, 내부 구조 형상으로 인해 발생하는 압력 저항을 공간 저항으로 정의하였다. 기존 강풍 체험장에 대한 분석 결과 기존의 수평 방향 풍로 구조로 인해 매우 불균질한 내부 유동장이 형성되고 큰 공간 저항이 발생함을 확인하였다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 풍로를 수직 방향으 로 변경함으로써 공간 저항을 80% 가까이 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 체험장 내부 유동장의 균질도도 크게 향상되어 실질적 강풍 체험장 구현이 가능함을 확인하였다.

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.

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.

In this study, two types of cyclone separators containing a structure of prevention underflow and a cyclone separator without the structure were analyzed by computational fluid technique. The pressure loss was increased by increasing the inlet velocity from 8m/s to 28m/s, and the velocity and pressure were compared through five cross sections in the vortex finder. Also, the velocity and the pressure contour in the central section were compared. It can be seen that the performance reduction of the cyclone separator by the prevention structure is related to the distance to the vortex finder inlet rather than the effect of the diameter of the structure.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate seawater flow field characteristics with various current directions near the manganese nodule mining device. Seawater flow near the collecting device is largely influenced by the sea current direction, especially along the downstream of the rear system. Predicted flow velocity distributions are analyzed with turbulent kinetic energy and drag force. There is big flow field variation when the direction angle between the mining device and seawater current flow approaches to 30°~ 120°, and flow velocity along the rear region of 60° becomes faster than 180°. Averaged turbulent kinetic energy at 180° also becomes low, about 57% higher at 60°. These results from the study can be applicable to the optimum design of manganese nodule collecting system in the deep seawater flow.

Fluid motion within the internal combustion engine cylinder plays a major role in controlling the fuel/air mixing and combustion processes in spark-ignition engines, and the combustion processes in compressionignition engines. In-cylinder flow is quite unstable and varies from one cycle to another. Various methods of in-cylinder flow measurement and fuel/air mixing characterization have been developed during the past few decades. In particular, laser based flow diagnostic techniques have been utilized for this purpose. This study will focus on the quantification of spark-ignition engine in-cylinder flow using the laser based flow diagnostic techniques. The measurement methods, including high speed flow visualization and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), will be discussed.

The non-reacting flow field and the movement of sand particles inside a 30MW circulating fluidized bed combustor is numerically simulated via the finite volume method. The primary air is supplied through 23x23 array of nozzles located on the bottom and the secondary air is supplied through 12 inlet pipes located on the side walls. The steady state velocity field shows that a very complex flow pattern is formed in the lower part of the combustor. As the gas moves upward, the velocity magnitude decreases and the gas exits the combustor after hitting the top wall. To investigate the behavior of sand particles with different diameters, a particle tracking calculation is performed by introducing sand particles continuously at the z=3 m plane. For the given air flow rate condition, sand particles smaller than 0.3 mm show a complex movement pattern near the secondary air inlet and then rise toward the outlet.

In-cylinder flows in a motored 3.5L four-valve SI engine are investigated quantitatively using three-dimensional LDV system to determine how intake system affects the flow field. For this study, the same engine head, cylinder, and piston are used. The purpose of this work is to develop quantitative methods which correlate in-cylinder flows to engine performance. The LDV results reveal that collision regions and zones around vortices can be traced as the origins of turbulent kinetic energy. High levels of turbulent kinetic energy are found in regions of high shear flow, attributed to the collisions of intake flows. These specific results support the more general conclusion that the inlet conditions play the dominant role in the generation of the turbulence fields during the intake stroke.

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.

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.

For the purpose of the enhancement of the air conditioner performance and fuel effciency, several cases of centrifugal impeller for passenger car air conditioner have been numerically analyzed by changing central angle of blades and length of outlet for shape optimization of the impeller. Commercial CFD program Fluent 6.3.26 has been used to compute velocity, temperature, pressure and turbulence intensity that can lead numerous results. The central angles of two blades and three cases of outlet length led 4～12% and 3.5～6.4% differences of velocity and flow rate, respectively. The velocity distribution near the blade surface was axisymmetric and had a maximum value of 22.19 m/s and velocity of the vertical direction of the impeller showed linear increase with horizontal direction. At case 3 of oultet length, there existed a a minimum pressure value of -133320 Pa.

유속의 변화에 따른 오일펜스 만곡부 후면의 속도장과 압력장, 와도 및 난류 강도를 계측한 PIV 실험의 결과 유속이 증가함에 따라 유동 경계역의 후면부에서의 흐름 방향이 전면부의 흐름 방향에 가까워지는 현상이 나타났고, 압력 분포의 양상이 달라졌으며 난류도 더욱 불규칙적인 형태로 나타났다. PIV 실험과 동일 조건으로 수행한 CFD 해석 결과, 후류의 유동 패턴이 0.3m/s이하의 저속인 경우는 PIV 실험 결과와 유사하게 나타났으나, 유속이 0.4m/s일 때는 오일펜스 자체의 유연성으로 인해 다소 차이가 나타났고, 오일펜스 하단의 압력차로 인한 불규칙한 난류가 수면까지 영향을 주었다.
