소음공해는 인간과 해양환경에 악영향을 끼치며, 선박과 해양구조물에서 발생하는 유동소음을 예측을 통해 소음에 대한 안전 성을 평가하고 해양환경을 보존할 수 있다. 기존 수중구조 유동소음 해석기법은 전산유체역학과 FW-H음향상사식을 이용한 하이브리드법 기반이다. FW-H는 무한공간에서의 음향전파를 가정하여 소음해석을 수행하기 때문에 음파의 반사와 산란, 회절의 영향이 나타나는 근접 장 해석이 제한적이다. 반면 격자볼츠만기법 기반의 직접법 유동소음해석을 수행하면 근접장 음향효과를 소음해석에 반영할 수 있다. 직 접법 해석은 유동과 소음이 연성된 해석이 수행되고 구조경계에서의 반사와 회절, 유동에 의한 매질 불균일성에 따른 산란효과가 반영된 다. 그간 격자볼츠만기법이 수중조건에서 수치적으로 불안정하여 수중환경에 적용이 불가능했다. 하지만 수중환경에서 사용할 수 있는 DM-TS 격자볼츠만기법 충돌연산자가 개발되어 수중으로 확장이 가능해졌다. 본 연구에서는 파이프내 원형구멍에 대하여 격자볼츠만기 법 해석을 수행해 수중 유동소음해석이 가능함을 보였다. 격자볼츠만기법 해석을 통해 도출한 유동과 소음을 각각 실험과 비교하여 해석 의 신뢰도를 확보하였다. 파이프내 유동소음에 의한 주요 압력 피크가 해석에 반영되었으며 이를 통해 격자볼츠만기법을 이용한 근접장 유동소음해석이 가능함을 확인했다.

In this work, the results obtained from the simulation of sedimentation of an elliptical cylinder in a viscous fluid are presented. The fluid flow velocity and pressure fields are evaluated by the famous lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). A smoothed profile method (SPM) is considered to enforce the no-slip boundary condition at the curved boundaries of the elliptical cylinder. The coupling between LBM LBM: Lattice Boltzmann Method and SPM SPM: Smoothed Profile Method is done by adding a hydrodynamic force term to the discretized version of the lattice Boltzmann equation. At first, the developed numerical code is validated by applying it to the unbounded laminar flow over an elliptical cylinder for different values of Reynolds number, Re. Later, simulations are carried out for sedimentation of an elliptical particle in a closed enclosure by considering different values for Re defined by terminal settling velocity of the cylinder. The robustness and accuracy of present simulation technique is assessed by comparing the particle trajectories and orientations obtained at different Re with the results from the existing literature. It is observed that, over a period of time, the particle attains steady state constant velocity and sediments horizontally when Re is low (Re=1.9) and moderate (Re=12.6). Whereas, an oscillating pattern for the sedimentation velocity is observed when Re is 32.9.

선체 부가물에서 발생하는 유동소음은 자체소음 관점에서 소나의 성능과 직결되고, 추진기 및 방향타와 상호작용을 통해 2차 소음원을 야기해 근접장 범위의 엄밀한 분석이 요구된다. 하지만 유동소음 해석에 적용되는 기존의 음향상사법은 음향 신호의 전파를 직접 모사하지 않는 간접법에 해당해 회절, 반사, 산란 특성을 고려할 수 없으며, 근접장 해석이 제한적이다. 본 연구에서는 격자 볼츠만 기법을 적용해 수중환경 유동소음의 전파과정을 직접 모사하였다. 격자 볼츠만 기법은 분자의 충돌과 흐름 과정을 통해 유동소음을 해석하는 기법으로, 압축성과 낮은 소산율, 낮은 분산율의 특성을 가지고 있어 소음해석에 적합하다. 선체 부가물 형상을 대상으로 RANS 해석을 통해 유동소음원을 도출하고, 유동-음향 경계면을 적용한 격자 볼츠만 기법으로 유동소음의 전파과정을 직접적으로 모사했다. 도출된 결과를 수음점의 위치에 따라 FW-H 결과 및 유체동압력 결과와 비교를 통해 근접장에서 타 기법 대비 격자 볼츠만 기법의 유용성을 확 인했다.

In this work, the natural convection in an annulus between two concentric cylinders is studied numerically. The fluid flow between the cylinders is solved by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) while a separate finite difference method (FDM) is used to solve the heat transfer. No-slip and constant boundary conditions at curved boundaries of the cylinders are treated with a smoothed profile method (SPM). At first, the velocity and temperature profiles obtained from the present LBM-SPM and FDM-SPM are validated with the corresponding theoretical results. Later, natural convection simulations inside the annulus are performed using coupled scheme of LBM-FDM-SPM by varying Ra in the range Ra=1000, Ra=10000, Ra=50000, and Ra=100000. From the temperature and fluid flow patterns obtained at different Ra, it is found that the heat transfer is mainly dominated by conduction process when Ra is low and by convection process when Ra is high.

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is applied to study the behavior of liquid droplet inside a PEMFC gas channel. To validate the fluid-fluid interaction model, the relationship between the pressure jump across the interface and the bubble radius is investigated for a static bubble to confirm the Laplace’s law. To evaluate the fluid-solid interaction model, static contact angle is calculated by changing the interaction parameter. Also, a constant gravitational force is applied to study the temporal evolution of liquid droplet placed on the bottom wall in a three dimensional periodic channel.

The flow between two rotating concentric cylinders, also known as Taylor-Couette flow system, is one of the most widely studied systems in the classical fluid dynamics. In this work, a two-dimensional Taylor-Couette flow system is simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method combined with the smoothed profile method. The fluid flow between the rotating cylinders is solved by lattice Boltzmann equation while the curved boundaries of the cylinders are treated with a smoothed profile function. To assess the validity of the present simulation technique, three different cases of rotation of the cylinders were considered: ⅰ) inner cylinder is only rotating, ⅱ) outer cylinder is only rotating, and ⅲ) both inner and outer cylinders are rotating. For all the three cases, the numerical results of the flow velocity in azimuthal direction and the hydrodynamic torque acting on the cylinders are in good agreement with the corresponding analytical solution results.

Numerical solutions are presented for compressible fluid flow past a rotating elliptic cylinder in a medium at rest at infinity. Flowfields and acoustic waves emitted from rotating elliptic cylinder are directly simulated by the Lattice boltzmann method formulated by the Arbitrary lagrangian eulerian scheme. The flowfield is almost periodic after the calculation fully developed and studied by means of streamlines and equi-vorticity lines and by means of drag, lift and moment coefficients. The positive and negative vorticity is alternately occurred at the edge by those large vortexes. The acoustic waves propagate synchronizing with the rotation and increase with M3.5 of rotational speed of elliptic cylinder.
