The rack cylinder is an important part of the pile leg structure of the jack up platform. Because of its complex structure, the flow field around the rack cylinder is different from that around the ordinary cylinder, which brings difficulties to the research of the rack cylinder. In this paper, using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) solved the flow field of chords with different rack height and rack width under different KC and Re, the characteristics of the flow field around the cylinder with rack are obtained. The results show that Re, KC, rack height and rack width all have different effects on the flow field. When Re and KC are constant, Cd will increase with the increase of rack height ratio, the change of Cd and Cl is not significant, while the change of Cd and Cl varies with Re when the chord structure is fixed.

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.

국내 중·저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설로 고려되고 있는 표층처분시설의 불포화대에서 핵종 이동을 야기하는 지하수 유동을 평가하기 위하여 유한요소법 기반의 COMSOL Multiphysics을 이용한 수치모델을 개발하였다. 그리고, 처분장 가장자리 를 대상으로 처분고, 뒤채움재, 처분덮개로 구성되는 표층처분시설과 그 아래에 위치한 불포화대를 포함한 수직 2차원의 모델 영역을 구성하여, 시나리오 별 모델링을 수행하였다. 지속적 강수 유입 조건과 간헐적 강수 유입 조건 비교에서 포화도의 파동 현상을 제외하고는 뚜렷한 차이점을 보이지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 불포화대의 공극률이나 잔류함수비와 같은 입력 자료는 전반적으로 불포화대 지하수 유동에 큰 영향도가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 하지만, 불포화대의 수리전도도는 지하수 유동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 즉, 처분고로의 지하수 유입 속도를 판단하기 위해서는 불포화대의 수리전도도 특성이 신중하게 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Numerical analysis has been carried out to analyze seawater flow field and power generation characteristics of the tidal current power generation system for various multi channel shroud systems. Geometrical multi channel arrangement largely affects the flow field characteristics in the shroud system which power generation performance through turbine blade depends on. Sectional averaged velocity in front of the turbine blade which increases more than 2 times compared with channel inlet is much influenced as well as the flow from the rear with curl. And flow variation results in high inlet velocity in horizontal arrangements of multi channels with mechanical output of the turbine. These results are expected to be used as applicable data for the development of the tidal power generation system with shrouds.

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.

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.

Observations show that the accretion ows in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) probably have a two-component structure with an inner hot, optically thin, advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and an outer truncated cool, optically thick accretion disk. As shown by Taam et al. (2012), within the framework of the disk evaporation model, the truncation radius as a function of mass accretion rate is strongly affected by including the magnetic field. We define the parameter β as pm = B2=8π = (1 - β)ptot, (where ptot = pgas + pm, pgas is gas pressure and pm is magnetic pressure) to describe the strength of the magnetic field in accretion ows. It is found that an increase of the magnetic field (decreasing the value of β) results in a smaller truncation radius for the accretion disk. We calculate the emergent spectrum of an inner ADAF + an outer truncated accretion disk around a supermassive black hole by considering the effects of the magnetic field on the truncation radius of the accretion disk. By comparing with observations, we found that a weaker magnetic field (corresponding to a bigger value of β) is required to match the observed correlation between L2-10keV/LEdd and the bolometric correction K2-10keV, which is consistent with the physics of the accretion ow with a low mass accretion rate around a black hole.

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics code is developed for predicting nonequilibrium flowfields over Mars entry probes. The numerical scheme is based on the cell-vertex finite volume method for a prismatic unstructured mesh system. Internal energy excitations and chemical reactions with finite rates are considered by introducing the two-temperature model of Park. Eight chemical species, C, N, O, CO, N2, NO, O2, and CO2, and nine chemical reactions are considered in the calculations. The developed code is verified in terms of prediction of heat flux to the body surface near the stagnation point of a Mars entry probe flying with the velocity of 6 km/s. The calculated heat flux reasonably agree with the calculated result in the past studies.

This Study has analyzed the trends of flow studies in the domestic game field. First, the flow studies in the domestic game field are mainly from economics, business administration, journalism and broadcasting and so on. Second, the content of studies is biased toward the use of games. Third, the definition of the flow concept is divided into the following two methods. The one is the method of describing user's flow condition and the other is the method of describing antecedents and consequence of flow. Fourth, technology acceptance model is mostly introduced as a theory associated with flow. The loyalty is mostly presented as a dependent variable of positive results of flow experience. Our study analyzed former studies on flow theory which is useful to research user's immersion and continuous use of games. We expect that the results of the study will be useful data for domestic game industry, research and so on.

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.
