Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) was applied to predict air flow around the hoods : circular hoods, square hoods, and push-pull hoods. A commercially available CFD software, CFD-ACE(Ver. 4.0), was tested, which is based on the finite volume method using the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. Numerical results were compared with the experimental, analytical and numerical results from other studies. CFD solutions showed an excellent agreement with the previous experimental and numerical results. It is promising that CFD techniques could be applied on the variety of complex problems in the industrial ventilation engineering.

Shape of a multi-blades centrifugal fan is optimized by response surface method based on three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations with standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in this centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Optimizations with and without constraints are carried out. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, the efficiency was successfully improved. The correlation of efficiency with relative size of inactive zone at the exit of impeller is discussed as well as with average momentum fluxes in the scroll.

The turbulence effect of particle deposition on a horizontal free-standing wafer in a vertical flow has been studied numerically by using the low-Reynolds-number k-.epsilon. turbulence model. For both the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer, predictions are made of the averaged particle deposition velocity and its radial distribution. Thus, it is now possible to obtain local information about the particle deposition on a free-standing wafer. The present result indicates that the particle deposition velocity on the lower surface of wafer is comparable to that on the upper one in the diffusion controlled deposition region in which the particle sizes are smaller than $0.1{\mu}m$. And it is found in this region that, compared to the laminar flow case, the averaged deposition velocity under the turbulent flow is about two times higher, and also that the local deposition velocity at the center of wafer is high equivalent to that the wafer edge.

It is well-known that high anisotropic characteristic of turbulent flow field is dominant inside tip leakage vortex. This anisotropic nature of turbulence invalidates the use of the conventional isotropic eddy viscosity turbulence model based on the Boussinesq assumption. In this study, to check whether an anisotropic turbulence model is superior to the isotropic ones or not, the results obtained from steady-state Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulations based on the RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ and the Reynolds stress model in two test cases, such as a linear compressor cascade and a forward-swept axial-flow fan, are compared with experimental data. Through the comparative study of turbulence models, it is clearly shown that the Reynolds stress model, which can express the production term and body-force term induced by system rotation without any modeling, should be used to predict the complex tip leakage flow, including the locus of tip leakage vortex center, quantitatively.

본 연구에서는 흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 식재된 교행식생 수로에서의 3차원 수치모의를 수행하였다. 지배방정식에서의 난류 폐합을 위해 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ 모형을 적용하였으며, 수치모형은 Olsen(2004)이 개발한 3차원 모형을 이용하였다. 먼저, 3차원 수치모형을 이용하여 하상의 일부가 식재된 부분 식생 수로를 수치모의 하고, 계산된 적분유속 및 레이놀즈응력을 기존의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 모형이 식생 수로에서의 평균 유속 분포를 매우 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ 모형이 등방성 모형이므로 식생과 비식생 영역의 경계면 부근에서 발생되는 운동량 교환 효과를 정확히 예측할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 주흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 존재하는 교행식생 수로를 수치모의 하고, 계산된 유속 분포를 기존의 실험 결과와 비교한 결과, 계산 유속과 실험 결과가 매우 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다양한 밀도에 따른 유속 벡터도를 계산한 결과, 식생밀도가 증가함에 따라 식생이 흐름 방향을 변화 시켜 점차 만곡수로와 유사한 형태의 유속 벡터도를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 식생 밀도 ${\alpha}$가 9.97%인 경우에는 식생 반대 측벽 영역에서 재순환 흐름이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 식생 밀도에 따른 단면 유속 분포도 및 편수위 변화를 살펴보았다.

A numerical and experimental study was performed for the wind flow field in one area, comprising a group of several pavilions separated by passageways, of the EXPO '98 - a World Exposition (Lisbon, Portugal). The focus of this study is the characterization of the flow field to assess pedestrian comfort. The predictions were obtained employing the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the turbulence effects dealt with the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ RNG model. The discretization of the differential equations was accomplished with the control volume formulation in a Cartesian coordinate system, and an advanced segregated procedure was used to achieve the link between continuity and momentum equations. The evaluation of the overall numerical model was performed by comparing its predictions against experimental data for a square cylinder placed in a channel. The predicted values, for the practical geometry studied, are in a good agreement with the experimental data, showing the performance and the reliability of the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ RNG model and suggesting that the numerical simulation is a reliable methodology to provide the required information.

A Navier-stokes based finite volume method has been developed to analyze an incompressible, steady state, turbulent wall-jet flow. The standard k-e model, the RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and their nonlinear counterparts are adopted as a closure relationship. Comparison with the experimental data shows that a linear ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model performs satisfatorily for two-dimensional wall-jet flows. However, as the flow becomes three dimensional, the linear model fails to predict the spanwise jet growth accurately and the nonlinear model needs to be adopted to capture three-dimensional flow characteristics.

The objective of this study is to predict the drag of an axisymmetric underwater vehicle with bluff afterbody using CFD. FLUENT, commercial CFD code, is used to simulate high Reynolds number turbulent flows around the vehicle. The computed drag coefficients are compared to available experimental data at various Reynolds numbers. Four widely used two-equation turbulence models are investigated to evaluate their performance of predicting the anisotropic turbulence in a recirculating flow region, which is caused by flow separation arising from the base of the vehicle. The simulations with Realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ and ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence models predict the anisotropic turbulent flows comparatively well and the drag prediction results with those models show good agreements with the experimental data.

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the performance of centrifugal pump with various air admitting conditions. Experiments on pump performance under air-water two-phase flow n accomplished using a centrifugal pump with semi-open type impeller having three, five and seven blades, respectively. Also, the numerical analysis of turbulent air-water two-phase flow using finite volume method has been carried out to obtain the pressure, velocities and void fraction on the basis of a so-called bubbly flow model with the constant size and shape of cavity. The results obtained through this study show the reasonable agreements within the range of bubbly flow regime. There are promising developments concerning application of the present study for the flow in a centrifugal pump with two-phase flow conditions and efforts must be followed to improve the turbulence model and two-phase flow model for turbomachinery.
