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.
Gwangyang Bay is often severely confronted by photochemical pollutants due to its location and dense emissions. It is located in a basin on the south coast of the Korean peninsula and is crossed by a remarkable cluster of hills and mountains of a small horizontal scale that forms a channel. Clearly, the air flow field has a great influence on the dispersion of air pollutants. The characteristics of the wind flow patterns have an important effect on the dispersion of pollutants emitted. In these situations, the distribution of the ozone concentration is extremely complicated because of the superposition of circulations of the air flow fields, especially in complex coastal region. In this study, we examined the distribution of the high level ozone on Gwangyang Bay particularly during the episode day (for 5 years). Among these days, A high level ozone was induced by the development of a sea/land breeze local circulation system, as well as by an anabatic/catabatic flow from the mountains and valley with weakening of the synoptic wind. High level ozone distribution pattern(6 types) on Gwangyang bay is analyzed and the comparison of each pattern reveals substantial localized differences in intensity and distribution of ozone concentration from the site coherence and UPA analysis of ozone concentration. The observed VOC concentration had much difference in concentrations and daily variations between Jungdong and Samil.
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.
Enormous apartment complexes in urban areas, temporary inversion state and heat island effect occur due to the strong sunshine and weak wind speeds which hinders the dispersion of air pollutants that are emitted from neighboring areas of apartment complexes. In this study, analysis were conducted by using the Fluent code based on the CFD(Computation Fluid Dynamics), including building layout, material, building height from the ground surface, the heat, analysis of flow field in the apartment complex. It was estimated that the temporal radiation inversion phenomenon during the daytime, which was caused by the weak wind speed and higher temperatures in the upper level, contributed to the stagnation of the air pollutants in the lower layer of the apartment complex.
Numerical simulation model using nesting method and considering topographic features was developed to predict atmospheric environments, atmospheric flow, temperature and diffusion of air pollutants in Kwangyang bay where having complex areas of point sources, Korea.
In addition, developed simulation model was used tracing of spreading range of pollutants when a gas leaks suddenly from Yeo-cheon industrial complex.
By comparing the measured and calculated data on atmospheric flow, temperature and diffusion of air pollutants, the results showed that this model can be well applied and complicated topography affected the diffusion of air pollutants.
To predict diffusion and movement of air pollutants in coastal urban region a numerical simulation shoud be consider atmospheric flow field with land-sea breeze, mountain-valley wind and urban effects. In this study we used Lagrangian particle dispersion method in the atmospheric flow field of Pusan coastal region to depict diffusion and movement of the pollutants emited from particular sources and employed two grid system, one for large scale calculating region with the coarse mesh grid (CMG) and the other for the small region with the fine mesh grid (FMG). It was found that the dispersion pattern of the pollutants followed local circulation system in coastal urban area and while air pollutants exhausted from Sasang moved into Baekyang and Jang moutain, air pollutants from Janglim moved into Hwameong-dong region.
