Passengers on public buses operating in the metropolitan area are exposed to the closed indoor air for minutes to hours. The indoor air quality of buses is mostly controlled through ceiling-mounted ventilation and filtration devices. A simulation study using a commercial code was conducted for fluid flow analysis to evaluate the potential effectiveness of an air purifier that can be inserted into bus windows to supply clean air from the outside to the inside. As a result of field measurements, the average CO2 concentration inside the bus during morning and evening rush hours ranged from 2,106±309 ppm to 3,308 ± 255 ppm depending on the number of passengers on board. This exceeded the Guideline for Public Transportation. The optimal installation position of an air purifier appeared to be the front side of the bus. In fact, even a low diffusing flow velocity of 0.5m/s was effective enough to maintain a low concentration of CO2 throughout the indoor space. Based on numerical analysis predictions with 45 passengers on board, the maximum CO2 concentration in the breathing zone was 2,203 ppm with the operation of an air purifier.

Among the various causes of the vibration problem of the radial sluice gate used in Saemangeum, the effect of flow-induced vibration was studied by the method of computational fluid analysis. In this study, the effect on the flow-induced vibration of the Saemangeum radial sluice gate was evaluated by 2D unsteady flow numerical analysis using ANSYS Fluent. Gate opening cases of 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m, 0.5m, and 1.0m were analyzed. As a result, the flow-induced vibration characteristics due to the instability of turbulent flow were observed through FFT analysis. As the gate opening increases, the frequency of the maximum amplitude moves gradually to a lower frequency region with the reduction of the magnitude. Therefore the flow-induced vibration effects can be considered as small with the gate opening increase.

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.

평판형과 만곡형전개판 주위에서의 유체특성을 파악하기 위하여 회유수조에서 수조기포법에 의한 하시화실험을 유속 0.05 및 0.1m/sec, 영각과 타임라인에 대해서 실시하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 만곡형전개판에서의 유선은 영각 20。까지는 균일한 분포를 이루다가 영각 25。에서 후면에 인접한 유선이 익현장의 1/2지점에서부터 작은 과가 발생되기 시작하고, 영각 30。에서는 익현자의 1.3지접에서 박리가 시작되며 인접한 유선은 전개판의 후면쪽으로 휘어들어가고, 그리고 영각 35。이상에서는 전연에서부터 박리가 시작되며 영각이 증가할수록 박리층이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 평판형전개판에서는 영각 20。부터 전연에서 과와 박리가 발생하며, 박리층은 만곡형과 마찬가지로 영각에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 후연에서 발생한 과의 크기가 전연의 것보다 약 2~3배 큰 것으로 나타났다. 4. 전개판의 후연에서 유선은 양 전개판 모두 전개판의 방향과 같은 방향으로 흐르다가 점차 유체흐름과 같은 방향이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 전개판 전후면에서의 유속차는 영각 0。~30。에서 점차 증가하다가 영각 35。이상에서는 그 차가 비슷하게 나타났다. 6. 영각 20~30。에서 전후면의 유속차는 만곡형의 경우 후면의 유속이 전면보다 약 1.4~1.5배 빠르게 나타났으며, 평판형은 약 1.2배 빠르게 나타났다.
