범용 전산유체해석(computational fluid dynamics) 코드인 CFX를 이용하여 지지격자 형상에 따른 봉다발 부수로에서의 난류유동 수치해석을 수행하였다 ABB와 SIMENS가 각각 개발한 split vane이 부착된 지지격자와 원자력연구소가 개발중인 회전유동 발생장치가 부착된 지지격자를 포함하는 부수로 난류유동을 분석하였다. 각각의 지지격자 형상에 대해 부수로에서의 축방향 속도, 횡방향 속도, 난류 운동에너지, 와류크기와 압력강하 둥을 비교-분석하였다. 세가지 경우 모두 유사한 경향을 나타냈으나 SIMENS split vane의 유동 전향날개가 크기때문에 와류와 압력강하가 다소 크게 예측되었다. 난류 운동에너지와 와류크기는 지지격자 근처에서 현저히 증가한 후 급격히 감소하는 측정결과를 CFX예측결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다. CFX 예측결과는 지지격자 근처에서 실험 결과와 다소 큰 차이를 보였으나 비교적 부수로 유동특성을 잘 나타낸다.

The local hydrulic characteristics in subchannels of 5$\times$5 nuclear fuel bundles with spacer grids were measured at upstream and downstream of the spacer grid for the investigation of the spacer grid effects on turbulent flow structure by using an LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimeter). The measured parameters are axial velocity and turbulent intensity, skewness factor, and flatness factor. Pressure drops were also measured to evaluate the loss coefficient for the spacer grid and the friction factor for rod bundles. From these data, it was found that the turbulent mixing and forced mixing occur up to $x/D^h=10$ and 20 from the spacer grid, respectively. The turbulence decay behind spacer grid behaves in the similar decay rate as turbulent flow through mesh grids or screens. Mixing factors useful in subchannel analysis code were correlated from the data and show the highest value near spacer grid and then have a stable values.

The current work investigated the variation of numerical solutions according to the grid number, the distance of the first grid point off the ship surface, turbulence modeling and discretization. The subject vessel is KVLCC. A commercial code, Gridgen V15 and FLUENT were used the generation of the ship hull surface and spatial system and flow computation. The first part of examination, the effect of solutions were accessed depending on the grid number, turbulence modeling and discretization. The second part was focus on the suitable selection of the distance of the first grid point off the ship surface: $Y_P+$. When grid number and discretization were fixed the same value, the friction resistance showed differences within 1 % but the pressure resistance showed big differences 9 % depending on the turbulence modeling. When $Y_P+$ were set 30 and 50 for the same discretization, friction resistance showed almost same results within 1 % according to the turbulence modeling. However, when $Y_P+$ were fixed 100, friction resistance showed more differences of 3 % compared to $Y_P+$ of 30 and 50. Whereas pressure resistance showed big differences of 10 % regardless of turbulence modeling. When turbulence modeling and discretization were set the same value, friction, pressure and total resistance showed almost same result within 0.3 % depending on the grid number. Lastly, When turbulence modeling and discretization were fixed the same value, the friction resistance showed differences within 5~8 % but the pressure resistance showed small differences depending on the $Y_P+$.

To study the stabilization characteristics of diffusion flame formed in the wake of a cylindrical bluff body with fuel injection, the flame stability limits, length and temperature of recirculation zone of flame, turbulence intensity distribution near the recirculation zone of flame were measured and analyzed. The length of recirculation zone is independent on main fuel injection quantity, but it is dependent on fuel injection angles, air stream velocity, and auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone. For diffusion flame, in general, the flame stabilization is deteriorated with increase of he length of recirculation zone, but if the turbulence generator is installed, the flame stabilization is improved with increase of the length of recirculation zone. The temperature of recirculation zone is dependent on fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators, and it dependent on fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators, and it has a maximum value at the condition of each theoretical mixture. In general, the more temperature of recirculation zone is low, the more flame is stable. But when the turbulence generator is installed, the more temperature of recirculation zone is low, the more flame is unstable. The turbulence intensity in the wake of bluff body is increased with increase of diameter or blockage ratio of grid. The more turbulence intensity is increased by installation of turbulence generator, the more flame is unstable. Finally, It is clear that the stabilization characteristics of diffuser flame can be controlled by some parameters such as fuel injection angles, auxiliary fuel injection into recirculation zone, turbulence generators.

비유선형 물체 주위의 유동은 정체유동, 경계층 박리 및 재부착, 주기적 와열의 생성등의 복잡한 유동현상이 공존한다. 이와 같은 유동의 2-방정식 난류모델을 이용한 정확한 예측은 일반적으로 불가능 하다고 인식되어 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 기존의 비교적 단순한 난류모델을 활용한 정사각주 주위의 비정상 난류유동의 예측 가능성을 체계적으로 규명하였다. 적절한 난류모델의 선정과 더불어 시간 정확도, 공간 정확도 및 대류항 처리법 등이 해석의 결과에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보았다. 기존의 표준 κ-ε모델은 정체점 주위에서 난류생성항의 과도한 예측으로 말미암아 재부착 및 와열생성의 정확한 예측이 불가능 하였으나, RNG κ-ε 모델을 사용한 경우 이와 같은 현상을 제거 할 수 있었다. 그러나 이 경우에도 예측의 정확도가 시간 증분, 격자의 크기 및 대류항 처리법 등에 영향을 받았으며, 특별히 대류항 처리법에 따라 상당히 민감하게 변하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The objective of this study is convergence acceleration of multigrid Navier-Stokes solvers. This study has been performed to enhance the performance of preconditioned multi-stage time stepping method which is a popular smoother for the multigrid Navier-Stokes solvers. Comparative study on the convergence characteristics of the ADI and DDADI preconditioners has been conducted. It is shown that the DDADI preconditioner has better performance than the ADI by numerical tests on the 2-D compressible turbulent flows past airfoils. The Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model and the Baldwin-Lomax turbulent model have been compared with the multigrid calculations.

The dispersion of a pollutant in a turbulent boundary layer has been described in this study by using a two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the Smagorinsky sub-grid-scale (SGS) model. The scalar transport equation corresponding to the pollutant concentration is adopted; the pollutant is considered to be in a continuous phase. The pollutant source is classified as ground-level source (GLS) and elevated-point source (ES). Air velocity and particle concentration profile for the pollutant are compared with the respective results and profiles obtained in the experiments of Fackrell and Robins (1982) and Raupach and Legg (1983). The numerical results obtained in this study, i.e., the simulation and the experimental data for the mean flow velocity profiles and the pollutant concentration profiles, are in good agreement with each other.

3차원 난류 부력젵의 혼합을 큰 와 모의(large-eddy simulation) 기법을 이용하여 수치모의 한다. 개발된 수치모형은 3차원 열동수역학 모형을 이용하여 부력젵의 퍼짐, 자기 보존 그리고 주변류의 연행 등을 포함하는 난류젵의 동적 특성을 분석할 수 있다. 수치해석에서 하부격자규모 (subgrid scale, SGS) 난류 응력은 부력항을 수정한 Smagorinsky 모형을 이용한다. 여과된 엔탈피 수송방정식에서 하부격자규모의 스칼라 플럭스는 상수의 SGS Prandtl 수를 가지는 단순 경사수송 가설에 근거하여 모의한다. 계산된 결과를 실험결과와 비교하며, 결과는 양호하게 일치함을 보여준다. 계산결과에 따르면 부력항의 수정이나 SGS 난류 Prandtl 수는 결과에 큰 영향을 미치지 않지만 SGS 모형 상수인 Cs 값은 부력젵 확산 예측에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

In the Present Study, a 3-D viscous flow solver, based on unstructured hybrid meshses containing tetrahedra, prisms and pyramids, has been developed. A finite-volume discretization scheme is used for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. A cell-vertex median dual volume is used for spatial discretization. The one-equation Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model has been adopted to evaluate the eddy viscosity. Validation were made by computing laminar and turbulent flows around a 3-D wing for steady flows and turbulent flows around an oscillating 3-D wing in harmonic motion for unsteady flows.

It is very important to understand characteristics of solution due to the variation of computational grid sizes, especially when turbulence model not incorporating wall-function is used. The present paper performs numerical investigation on the grid dependency of numerical solution for three dimensional turbulent flow field around a ship. In the present study a finite volume method with a modified sub-grid scale turbulence model and a numerically constructed non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system capable of conforming complex ship geometries are used. Numerical studies are then performed for a mathematical Wigley hull and the Series 60, $C_B=0.8$ hull forms. The results for various grid sizes are compared with each other and with measured data to show grid dependencies of numerical solutions.
