건물의 배수 및 통기시스템에서 나타나는 현상중에 확실한 내용이 아직 밝혀지지 않은 부분이 몇 가지 남아 있다. 이것은 19세기 말엽의 근대 위생공학의 시작 단계에서부터 잘 알려진 사실이다. 건물의 배수 및 통기시스템 운용에 대한 내용은 일반 공학과 특정 유체역학의 범위 내에서 가장 잘 이해할 수 있다. 건물의 배수 및 통기시스템의 운영에 종사했던 초기의 기술진들은 이러한 점을 잘 알고 있었으며 유체역학에 적합하게 응용한 많은 사례를 확인할 수 있었다. 제2차 세계대전이 끝나고 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 특히 유럽에서 시작된 전후 재건 붐을 통해 배수 및 통기시스템의 설계에 좀 더 효율적인 접근이 진척되게 되었다. 이러한 배수시스템의 중심에는 배수관 내부의 오염된 공기가 배수구 또는 위생기구를 통하여 주거 공간으로 유입되는 것을 방지하는 트랩(Water Trap)이 있다. 배수트랩의 주요 기능인 봉수는 일반적으로 깊이가 40 mm에서 50 mm 정도로 위생기구의 종류에 따라 봉수의 깊이는 다소 차이가 있다. 배수관내 공기의 흐름이 중요한 것처럼 트랩의 봉수 메커니즘이 중요하기 때문에 이 메커니즘을 소홀히 여긴다면 안전한 배수시스템의 운영을 기대하기는 어렵다. 배수관 내의 공기의 흐름은 배수에 의해 유입되거나 또는 배출된다. 배수관에서 내부 압력의 불규칙한 변화로 인하여 야기되는 불안정한 배수의 흐름은 트랩의 봉수를 파괴하고 나아가 주거공간으로 오염된 공기가 새어 나갈 수 있는 통로를 제공하게 된다. 관내압력의 천이는 이로 인한 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있는 위치에 그 압력을 완화할 수 있는 장치를 설계단계에 반영하여 적용함으로써 제어할 수 있다. 건물 내부에 상당한 길이의 통기배관을 설치하는 것은 배관의 마찰손실로 인하여 천이 현상을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 확실한 방법이 되지는 못한다. 그렇지만 통기밸브를 설치하는 것과 같이 배수관 내로 공기를 공급해주는 유입구를 건물 내부에 분산 설치하는 것이 효율적인 통기방식이 될 수 있고, 정압 천이로 인한 위험을 줄여줄 수 있다. 통기밸브는 정압 발생의 원인이 되지 않으며 단지 정압에 반응하여 더욱 기밀하게 닫히며, 약화된 압력파를 반사할 뿐이다. 고층 건물에서 배수입상관과 평행하게 설치된 통기입상관(Parallel Vent Pipe)의 경우 극히 일부분의 정압 천이 현상을 완화할 수 있다. (통기 배관의 직경이 배수 입상배관과 동일한 경우 대략 1/3 정도임), 그러므로 정압의 천이로 인한 압력 파동은 배수 시스템의 나머지 부분을 통해 전파되어 배수 트랩에 영향을 미치게 된다. 정압의 천이가 예상되는 위치에 정압천이 완화 장치(Positive Air Pressure Transient Alleviation Device)를 사용하면 배관 내부압력의 급격한 상승을 방지하여 연결된 트랩의 봉수를 보호할 수 있다. 이렇게 되면 순간적으로 발생하는 배관내 압력의 급등 현상을 90% 정도까지 완화 시킬 수 있다. 경험적으로 배수시스템에서 배관이 완전하게 막혀 과도한 정압이 발생하는 경우는 거의 없다. 이러한 경우에는 가장 낮은 위치에 있는 배수 트랩의 봉수가 깨지면서 자연스럽게 배수시스템의 압력이 해소되게 된다. 이러한 사례는 통기 방식과 상관없이 발생할 수 있다. 실제와 유사한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 통기 밸브(Air Admittance Valves)는 전면 통기 시스템 (Fully Vented System)에서 최소한 트랩의 봉수 보호용으로 적합한 것이 확인 되었다. 어떤 경우 에는 고층 건물에 더욱 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 부압 해소용으로 통기밸브를 이용하고 정압완화용으로 정압 완화장치(PAPAs: Positive Air Pressure Transient Attenuators)를 사용하는 전면적 능동 제어시스템(Fully Engineered Designed Active Control System)이 사용자에게 육안으로는 확인하지 못하는 기능을 보장하면서 배수 시스템의 안전과 효율성에 대한 효과적인 방법을 제공하고 있다.

After installation of platform screen door (PSD) in subway stations, particulate matters (PMs), which are originally ventilated through the platform, are accumulated inside the tunnel of the subway system. It deteriorates an air quality inside the tunnel. To ventilate the accumulated PMs inside the tunnel, the natural ventilator which are located inside the tunnel (namely, tunnel ventilation system) are used as only one circulation system. In addition, the installation of PSD can affect to the aerodynamic variations inside the tunnel, since the PSD system was not considered factor when the tunnel ventilation system was designed. However, the researches about the tunnel ventilation system have not been adequate. Therefore, this study is carried out with two objectives: 1) to measure the velocity of air current by the train-induced wind, when the train passes through the tunnel, and 2) to investigate the typical patterns of air current by quantitatively evaluating the characteristics of inflow/outflow of air current which passes through the natural ventilation system. This study can suggest the basic standard to newly design the tunnel of the subway system as well as the ventilation system.

A wind tunnel consisting of two air flow conditioners with polycarbonate pipes, a plant growth room, a suction fan and fan controller, and fluorescent lamps, was designed to investigate the interactions between the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light and their Physical environments. Light transmissivities in the plant growth room based on the photosynthetic photon flux density and photosynthetically active radiation was appeared to be 96.3% and 96.8%, respectively. Measurement showed a uniformity in the vertical profiles of air current speed at the middle and rear regions of plug trays in wind tunnel. This result indicated that the development of a wind tunnel based on the design criteria of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was adequate. Air current speed inside the plug stand was significantly decreased due to the resistance by the leaves of plug seedlings and boundary layer developed over and below the plug stand. Driving force to facilitate the diffusion of gas inside the plug stand might be regarded as extremely low. Aerodynamic characteristics above the plug stand under artificial light were investigated. As the air current speed increased, zero plane displacement decreased but roughness length and frictional velocity increased. Zero plane displacement linearly increased with the average height of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on the microclimate over and inside the plug stand and to collect basic data for a large-scale plug production under artificial light in a semi-closed ecosystem.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical model has been developed to effectively study the ventilation efficiency of multi-span greenhouses with internal crops. As the first step of the study, the internal plants of the CFD model had to be designed as a porous media because of the complexity of its physical shapes. In this paper, the results of the wind tunnel tests were introduced to find the aerodynamic resistance of the plant canopy. The Seogun tomato was used for this study which made significant effects on thermal and mass exchanges with the adjacent air as well as internal airflow resistance. With the main factors of wind speed, static pressure, and density of plant canopy, the aerodynamic resistance factor was statically found. It was finally found to be 0.26 which will be used later as an input data of the CFD model. Moreover, the experimental procedure of how to find the aerodynamic resistance of various plants using, wind tunnel was established through this study.

High-speed trains have been developed widely in many countries in order to transport a large quantity of people and commodities rapidly. When a high speed train enters a tunnel, aerodynamic resistance is generated suddenly. This resistance causes micro pressure wave and discomfort to passengers. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate a pressure relief system in a tunnel and streamlined shape of a train in order to reduce aerodynamic resistance caused by a high-speed train. Additionally, the cross-sectional area of a tunnel should be carefully determined to reduce discomfort of passengers. A pressure relief duct and a vertical shaft are representative measures in a tunnel. This study represents the effect of pressure relief ducts in order to alleviate pressure changes within a time period in a tunnel. One-dimensional network numerical simulations were carried out in order to estimate the effect of pressure relief systems.

본 연구는 인력기를 개발함에 있어서 이에 적합한 프로펠러의 형상을 설계하기 위하여 진행되었다. 인력기는 인간을 유일한 동력원으로 사용하기 때문에 적은 동력, 낮은 RPM을 가지고 비행을 하게 된다. 이에 따라 기존의 항공기와는 다른 특성 및 형상을 가지는 프로펠러 개발의 필요성이 인지되었다. 본 연구에서는 설계하고자 하는 인력기의 제원에 맞는 프로펠러의 특성을 설정한 뒤, 프로펠러의 블레이드를 수 개의 airfoil section으로 나누고, 각 섹션에 대한 공력 특성을 프로펠러 이론 및 Edison CFD를 통하여 계산 및 유추하였다. 이 계산 결과를 토대로 구한 각 airfoil section의 정보를 통하여 프로펠러의 형상을 얻어 낼 수 있었으며, 최종적으로 이를 ANSYS Fluent, CFX와 같은 상용 프로그램을 이용하여 분석함으로써 설계 전에 목표로 하였던 프로펠러의 성능에 도달하였는가를 확인할 수 있었다.

Aerodynamic characteristics over Micro Aerial Vehicle(MAV) in low Reynolds number regime are numerically studied using 3-D unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver with single partitioning method for multi-block grid. For more efficient computation of unsteady flows, this flow solver is parallel-implemented with MPl(Message Passing Interface) programming method. Firstly, MAV wing with not complex geometry is considered and then, we analyze aerodynamic characteristics over full MAV configuration varying the angle of attack. Present computational results show a better agreement with the experimental data by MACDL(Micro Aerodynamic Control and Design Lab.), Seoul National University. We can also find the conceptually designed MAV by MACDL has the static stability.

In this study, the design conditions and CFD analysis results are compared and reviewed in SCR that can optimally reduce nitrogen compounds. To this end, it was analyzed and compared using CFD to see if the design criteria were satisfied for the shell and tube areas of the boiler. In the SCR system, the analysis area is the gas/air heat exchanger on the shell side, and eight tubes of the gas/air heat exchanger on the tube side. Through CFD analysis, the gas velocity distribution on the primary catalyst side of the SCR system was designed to be 2.4%, and the NH3/NOx molar ratio distribution was 3.7%, which satisfied the design criteria. In addition, the uniformity of the temperature distribution was confirmed and the required condition of 260℃ or higher was satisfied. The angle of the gas entering the catalyst met the design conditions at 2.9 degrees, and the pressure loss that occurred also satisfied the design requirements. Through this CFD analysis, it was confirmed that it was designed and operated by satisfying the design conditions required for each area.
