본 연구에서는 너클 라인이 다수 존재하면서 안팎 형상이 비대칭으로 설계된 특이점을 갖는 쌍동선의 자항성능을 예측하기 위 해 CFD 해석을 수행하였고, 해석 기법에 따른 차이를 파악하기 위해 MRF(Moving Reference Frame) 기법과 SDM(Sliding Mesh) 기법을 적용하 였다. MRF 기법을 적용한 경우에는 time step당 프로펠러를 1˚ 회전시켰고, SDM 기법의 경우 10˚, 5˚, 1˚씩 회전시키며 각 기법별 예측된 자 항성능을 비교하였다. 자항점 추정을 위한 몇 가지 프로펠러 회전수에서의 해석 결과 중 프로펠러의 토크는 기법에 따른 차이가 거의 없었 지만 추력 및 선체가 받는 저항은 MRF 기법보다는 SDM 기법을 적용했을 때 더 낮게, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각이 작을수 록 높게 계산되었다. 선형 내삽을 통해 추정된 자항점의 프로펠러 회전수, 추력, 토크와 실선 확장법을 사용해 추정된 실선의 전달동력, 반 류 계수, 추력 감소 계수 및 프로펠러 회전수도 동일한 경향을 보였으며, 대부분의 자항효율은 반대의 경향을 보였다. 프로펠러 후류의 경 우 MRF 기법을 적용했을 때 정확도가 떨어졌고, SDM 기법의 time step당 프로펠러 회전각에 따라 표현되는 후류의 차이는 거의 없었다.
Spent nuclear fuels should be safely stored until being disposed and dry storage system is predominantly used to retain the fuels. Thermal analysis to estimate temperatures of spent nuclear fuel and the storage system should be performed to evaluate whether the temperatures exceed safety limit. Recently, thermal hydraulic analysis with CFD codes is widely used to investigate the temperature of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage. COBRA-SFS is a legacy code based on subchannel analysis code, and its fidelity is verified for evaluating the thermal analysis for licensing a dry cask system. Herein, thermal analysis result based on CFD and COBRA-SFS codes is compared and the Dry Cask Simulator (DCS) is assessed as a benchmark experiment in this study. Extended Storage Collaborating Program (ESCP) led by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is organized to address the degradation effects of spent nuclear fuel during long-term dry storage, and DCS is the first phase of the program. The dry storage system, containing a single BWR assembly in a canister, was designed to produce validation-quality data for thermal analysis model. ANSYS FLUENT was used to simulate DCS. Simulations were conducted in various decay heat and helium pressure inside the canister. In realistic conditions of decay heat and helium pressure of actual dry cask system, CFD and COBRA-SFS analysis results gave good agreement with experimental measurement. Peak temperatures of channel can, basket, canister and shell predicted by CFD simulation also showed good prediction and the discrepancies were less than 7 K while measurements uncertainty was 7 K. In high decay heat and high pressure condition, however, CFD and COBRA-SFS underestimated peak cladding temperature than experimental results.
A deep geological repository for disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) consists of the canister, buffer material, and natural rock. If radionuclides leak from a disposal container, it can pass through buffer materials and rock, and move into the biosphere. Transport and migration of radionuclides in the rock differently were affected by the fracture type, filling minerals in the fracture, and the chemical and hydraulic properties of the groundwater. In this study, aperture distribution in fractured granite block was investigated by hydraulic test and CFD analysis. The fractured rock block (1 m × 0.6 m × 0.6 m), which is simulated as natural barrier, was prepared from Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. 9 test holes were drilled and packer system was installed to perform hydraulic test at the surface of fracture. 3D model simulated for aperture distribution of rock block was made using results of hydraulic test. And then, CFD analysis was performed to evaluate the co-relation between experiment results and analysis results using FLUENT code.
Spent nuclear fuels should be safely stored until being disposed and dry storage system is predominantly used to retain the fuels. During long-term storage, there are several mechanisms that could result in the degradation of spent nuclear fuels, and the temperature is the most important parameter to predict and estimate the degradation behaviors. Therefore, thermal analysis to estimate temperatures of spent nuclear fuel and the storage system should be performed to evaluate whether the temperatures exceed safety limit. Recently, thermal hydraulic analysis with CFD codes is widely used to investigate the temperature of spent nuclear fuel in dry storage. Herein, Explicit CFD analysis model is introduced and validated by estimating the thermal hydraulic response of the dry storage system that is Dry Cask Simulator (DCS). Extended Storage Collaborating Program (ESCP) led by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is organized to assess degradation effects of spent nuclear fuel during long-term dry storage, and DCS is the first phase of the program. The dry storage system, containing a single BWR assembly in a canister, was designed to produce validation-quality data for thermal analysis model. ANSYS FLUENT is used to simulate DCS, and the test condition of 0.5 kW decay heat and 100 kPa helium pressure was investigated in this study. In case of peak cladding temperature (PCT), PCT from the experiment was 376 K while that of CFD was 374 K. It implies CFD simulation gives good agreement with experimental measurement. Peak temperatures of channel can, basket, canister and shell predicted by CFD simulation also show good prediction and the discrepancies were less than 7 K while measurements uncertainty was 7 K.
The automatic dust separator is a device installed in the suction tank of the pumping or drainage plant, and prevents foreign substances such as aquatic plants or wood chips from being sucked into the underwater pump. Since the dust separator obstructs the flow of water for separating dusts, a water level difference is likely to occur before and after the dust separator. Since the water level difference before and after the dust separator acts as an additional hydraulic load on the dust separator structure, it may reduce the lifetime of the dust separator and cause damage. In this study, in order to reduce the water level difference, we devised changing the existing I-beam-shaped dust separator parts to a streamlined shape, and quantitatively analyzed the water level difference before and after the dust separator, hydraulic load, and flow velocity distribution through computational fluid analysis to confirm the effect of design improvement.
In order to analyze the pressure drop of the fluid passing through the hydraulic coupler, a flow model using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis technique was developed and the fluid flow rate and pressure distribution inside the coupler were analyzed. The analysis model was corrected by comparing the pressure drop measurement using a 6.35mm hydraulic coupler with the ISO reference value and the simulation prediction value. Using the calibrated model, the flow rate and pressure drop of 13 types of hydraulic couplers distributed on the market were analyzed, and their performance was determined by comparing them with ISO reference values. In the case of type A coupler, the pressure drop was generally higher than the ISO reference value, and in the case of type B coupler, the pressure drop was similar to or lower than the ISO reference value. It was confirmed that the complex flow analysis inside the hydraulic coupler could be easily performed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, and based on this, problems could be identified and performance could be improved performance.
최근 도시 과밀화와 건축물 고층화로 인해 빌딩풍에 의한 시설 피해는 물론 보행자의 안전을 위협하는 풍환경에 대한 우려 가 커지고 있다. 빌딩풍 피해 저감을 위한 방안으로 건축물 주변 풍환경 평가를 통해 도시의 풍환경을 개선하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 풍동실험을 대체하거나 보완하는 수단으로 최근 전산 유체역학 기법 (CFD)의 적용이 받아들여지고 있으며, 국토교통부가 보행 자 풍환경 평가를 위한 CFD 활용 가이드라인을 제시한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 가이드라인의 적정성을 평가하기 위한 전산해석을 수행하였다.

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.

HANARO (High-flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor)는 우라늄의 핵분열 연쇄반응에서 생성된 중성자를 이용하여 다양한 연구개발을 수행하는 열출력 30 MW 규모의 연구용 원자로이다. 탈기탱크는 HANARO의 부속시설에 설치되어 있다. 탈기탱크는 내부환경요인으로 인해 기체오염물질을 발생시킨다. 탈기탱크는 기체오염물질을 허용 가능한 수준 이하로 유지하기위해 필요하며 기체시료채취판넬의 분석기에 의해 모니터링 된다. 응축수가 발생하여 기체시료채취판넬의 분석기 내부로 유입된다면, 분석기의 측정 챔버 내부에 부식이 발생하여 고장을 야기한다. 응축수의 생성 원인은 탈기탱크에 존재 하는 기체가 분석기로 유입되는 과정에서 탈기탱크와 분석기사이 온도 차이다. 응축수 생성을 억제하고 계통 내부에 생성 된 응축수를 효율적으로 제거하기 위해 탈기탱크와 기체시료채취판넬 사이에 히팅시스템이 설치되었다. 이 연구에서 우리는 히팅시스템의 효율성을 알고자 한다. 또한 Wall Condensation Model을 이용하여 유체 입구온도, 외부온도 및 히팅 케이블 설정온도 변화에 따른 파이프 온도와 평균응축량의 변화를 모델링하였다.
겨울철 벤로형 유리온실(W59×L68×H5.9m) 보온스크린 높이의 차이에 따른 실내온도 변화를 파악하기 위하여 00시부터 04시까지 30분 간격으로 열유동해석을 하였다. 초기에는 상대적으로 난방 외부접촉면적이 큰 보온스크린 설치높이 5.9m에서 보온스크린 설치높이 4.1m에 비해 온도감소가 빨라 낮은 온도를 나타냈으나 해석 2시간 이후부터는 상대적으로 온도감소가 느렸고 04시에는 0.6°C 높았다. 그러나 해석시작 1시간 후 실내온도가 약 13°C까지 내려가고, 그 이전에 난방기가 작동해야 된다고 볼 때, 해석 2시간 동안 온도감소가 상대적으로 느렸던 보온스크린 설치높이 4.1m에서 5.1m에 비해 난방에너지 절감에 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 토마토가 자라는 지면 2m 높이에서의 유동은 보온스크린 설치높이 5.9m에서 4.1m에 비해 상대적으로 넓고 빨랐으며 유동해석 1시간 후인 01시의 평균차이는 0.034m·s-1였다.
여름철 차광스크린 설치높이를 5.7m와 3.9m로 달리하되 70%닫힘 조건에서 12시부터 13시까지는 온실하부덕트 외부 공기유입량 0.67m3·s-1 상태 그 후부터는 외부 유입공기를 3배로 증가하여 냉방효과를 비교하였다. 초기 12시부터 13시까지는 차광스크린 70%닫힘 상태에서 무차광에 비해 오히려 평균 약 0.9°C 높았지만 외부공기유입량이 증가하는 13시 이후 부터는 차광스크린 70%닫힘 조건에서 온도가 감소하였고 14시 30분에는 무차광에 비해 0.5°C 낮았다. 차광스크린 70% 닫힘 조건에서 바닥면의 온도분포는 스크린 설치높이와 개방 정도에 비례하여 낮았으며 무차광에 비해 8°C이상 낮았다. 온실 내 상대습도는 차광스크린을 30% 개방하는 조건에서는 차광스크린의 높이나 개방정도에 따른 차이가 미미하였다.
본 연구에서는 큰 침하량과 동적트림을 가지는 선박에 대하여 전산유체역학(CFD)을 기반으로 하여 효율적인 저항성능 추정 방 법을 제시하였다. 본 방법에서 효율적이라 함은 점성 유동해석 이전에 비 점성 유동해석의 침하량과 동적트림 결과를 이용하여 선박의 큰 자세를 설정하고 DFBI(Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction) 방법에 의한 점성 유동해석을 수행한 것이다. 본 방법을 방법I로 명하였다. 방법I 는 해석 전에 큰 자세를 설정함으로 인해 중첩격자(Overset Mesh) 기법을 사용하지 않는 단순한 격자시스템(Fig. 3 참고)을 사용하면 된다. 이로 인해 방법I는 계산시간 단축 및 계산의 정도를 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 점성 유동해석은 상용 CFD 코드인 STAR-CCM+를 사용하 였다. 방법I의 첫 번째 점성 유동해석 결과는 최종 수렴된 결과와 비교하였을 때 저항 값에서 최대 1 % 내에서 차이를 보임을 확인 하였다. 중첩격자가 아닌 단순 격자시스템에 의한 STAR-CCM+에서 제공하는 DFBI 기법을 활용하여 계산단계 별로 변화된 자세에 대하여 매번 격자를 변경하여 수렴된 결과를 도출하였다. 본 방법을 방법II로 명하였다. 방법II의 저항 값과 비교하였을 때 방법I은 선속에 따라 0.03 % ~ 0.6 %의 차이를 보였다. 방법I의 결과는 수조모형시험과의 비교를 통해서 정성적 그리고 정량적으로 타당함을 확인하였다.
한국의 경제 발전에 따라 양돈 사업의 규모가 커지고 대단지화 되면서, 생산성 향상과 높은 품질을 충족시키기 위해 축사시설의 체계적인 관리가 요구되고 있다. 그러나 효율성을 위해 밀집된 구조에서는 종종 여름철에 공기의 질이 나빠지고 온도가 높아지는 등의 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 돼지는 저산소 및 고온에 매우 취약하기 때문에 생산성을 높이기 위한 환기 유지는 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD, computational fluid dynamics)을 이용하여 환기 시스템의 문제점 및 개선 사항을 분석하는 방법을 제안하였다. 유한체적법(FVM, finite volume method) 기반의 fluent 프로그램이 사용되었고 난류 모델로 RNG standard k-ε 모델을 사용하였다. 환기 시스템의 효율적인 설계를 위해 실제 단층의 단순 구조 양돈사와 다층의 대형 양돈사를 대상으로 다종물질이송(multispecies transport) 해석기법을 이용하여 환기 효율 및 성능을 분석하였으며, 개선된 시스템의 유동순환이 원활하게 이루어짐을 확인하였다.
A commercial CFD code is used to caculate the 3-D viscous flow field within the centrifugal pump impeller. Design conditions are changed by pump inlet diameter(203.2㎜) and pump outlet diameter(152.4㎜). Numerical calculation was performed by changing flow rate from 7 to 12m 3 /min. Working fluids are clean water and muddy water. The viscosity of muddy water is measured by the unsteady capillary of the viscometer. The pump performance is predicted well through the computer simulation. The results are summarized as follows: the pump characteristics of the total pressure, efficiency and shaft power with high viscosity fluids by muddy water was different from those clean water. When the viscosity of the applied fluid increased, the total pressure, and efficiency more decreased than those of clean water. The decreasing gradients of the total pressure and the efficiency were larger than water due to the increased disk friction losses at the duty operation point. The shaft power of clean water and muddy water increased. This study shows that the calculated results agree well with the analysis results of design condition.
Most of the variable shading devices are installed outdoors, so they are greatly affected by structural safety due to external climate change, wind, rain, and snow. Especially, due to strong wind such as typhoons, safety problems may occur due to the dropout of the device. Therefore, it is necessary to secure the structural safety against the wind. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the structural behavior of the windshield to evaluate the structural safety of the variable sunshade device. In this study, we analyze the wind pressure applied to the shading material according to the change of the length of the variable shading device, and apply it to the calculation of the wind load for the structural design of the variable shading device. The CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) analysis of the structure of the sample was used to analyze wind pressure magnitude and distribution. In order to estimate the wind pressure, the maximum wind loads of the static and negative pressures acting on the structure were analyzed from numerical simulation results.
PURPOSES : In this study, a numerical clogging model that can be used to realistically visualize the movement of particles in cylindrical permeability test equipment was proposed based on the system coupling of computational fluid dynamics with the discrete element method and experimental permeability test results. This model can also be used to simulate the interaction of dust particles with bedding particles.
METHODS: A 4-way system coupling method with multiphase volumes of the fluid model and porous media model was proposed. The proposed model needs to consider the influence of flow on the dust particles, interaction between the dust particles, and interaction between the dust particles and bedding layer particles. The permeability coefficient of the bedding layer in cylindrical permeability test equipment was not calculated by using the permeability test result, but was estimated by using the particle packing model and Ergun model.
RESULTS : The numerical simulation demonstrated a good agreement with the experimental test results in terms of permeability and drain time. Additionally, the initial movement of particles due to the sudden drain hole opening was successfully captured by the numerical model.
CONCLUSIONS : A 4-way coupling model was sufficient to simulate the water flow and particle movement in cylindrical permeability test equipment. However, additional tests and simulation are required to utilize the model for more realistic block pavement systems.
PURPOSES : In this study, a series of fundamental falling head permeability tests were conducted on a binary particle mix bedding to determine the minimum water level, bedding layer thickness, and amount of dust that can result in the stable permeability with high repeatability. The determined condition is used to develop a CFD-DEM coupled clogging model that can explain the movement of dust particles in flowing water of a block pavement system.
METHODS: A binary particle mixture is utilized to experimentally simulate an ideal bedding layer of a block pavement system. To obtain a bedding layer with maximum packing degree, the well-known particle packing degree model, i.e., the modified Toufar model, was utilized. The permeability of the bedding layer for various water levels, bedding layer thicknesses, and amounts of dust was calculated. The permeability for a small water level drop was also plotted to evaluate the effect of dust on the bedding layer clogging.
RESULTS: It was observed that a water level of 100 mm, bedding depth of 70 mm, and dust amount of 0.3 g result in a stable permeability condition with high repeatability. The relationship between the minimum dust amount and surface clogging of the bedding layer was suggested based on the evaluation of the volumetric calculation of the particle and void and the permeability change in the test.
CONCLUSIONS: The test procedure to determine the minimum water level, bedding thickness, and dust amount was successfully proposed. The mechanism of clogging on the surface of the bedding layer was examined by relating the volumetric characteristics of dust to the clogging surface.
