초록

폴리머 첨가제에 의한 항력감소 난류 채널 유동에 대한 직접수치모사를 스펙트럴 기법을 통해 수치적으로 해석하였다. 마찰속도 및 채널 높이의 절반으로 무차원화한 레이놀즈수는 395 이며, 폴리머 첨가제에 의해 발생하는 폴리머 응력은 FENE-P 모델을 통해 고려하였다. 폴리머 분자의 이완 시간 및 최대 연신 한계와 같은 FENE-P 모델 인자는 항력감소율에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 항력감소율이 낮은 유동과 높은 유동에 대해 항력감소에 따른 난류 통계량의 변화를 조사하였다. 또한, 동일한 항력감소율을 갖는 유동에 대해, 서로 다른 FENE-P 모델 인자가 난류 통계량의 변화에 미치는 영향도 조사하였다. 최종적으로, Li 등(2006) 이 제시한 유변학 인자들과 항력감소율과의 상관관계식을 본 수치해석 결과를 통해 확인하였다.

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent channel flow for which the drag is reduced by using polymer additives have been performed by a pseudo-spectral method. The Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and half-channel height is 395, and the polymeric stresses due to the polymer additives are evaluated using the FENE-P (finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin) model. The numerical results show that the drag reduction rate is significantly affected by the parameters used in the FENE-P model, such as the maximum extensibility and relaxation time of the polymer molecules. The turbulence data for both low- and high-drag reduction regimes are analyzed. In addition, the effects of FENE-P model parameters on the flow characteristics have been investigated for the same drag reduction rate due to the polymer additives. Finally, the present DNS results have been used to verify the correlation between rheological parameters and the extent of drag reduction, which was suggested by Li et al. (2006).
