A CFD code was developed to investigate the inception of cavitation around impeller blades of centrifugal fuel pump using two dimensional cascade modeling. With the verification test for numerical validity of the developed code, the prediction of the onset of cavitation was made for the configuration of a newly designed KHP fuel pump. The calculation results show impeller design was free of cavitation if the pump operates within the operational temperature and rotational speed range. However, the cavitation would be relatively easy to occur at off design region of fuel pump where the rotational speed is higher than design limit. Specially, the onset of cavitation is sensitively dependent on the increase in fuel temperature while the decrease in temperature will reduce the possibility of cavitation inception in the pump.

Recently, in urban areas, cavities and ground collapse adjacent to underground structures are frequently reported. Several studies on the cavity generation by structure cracks have been made, however they are focused on the cause of cracks and settlement of the ground. In this paper, soil particle and groundwater discharge through pipe cracks and cavity generation mechanism are investigated. The theoretical analysis of the groundwater, which is the main factor of the drainage of the soil particles, and the particle transport mechanism and flow characteristics were investigated. An experimental model test was carried out to identify the mechanism of cavity generation by underground buried pipe cracks. The soil particle weight of discharge through the cracks, and the movement characteristics of the particles were analyzed using PIV. In this study, it is clearly identified that soil particle movements, cavity generation and ground collapse that occur in the ground are basically caused by the movement of groundwater.

The puppose of this study is to propose the numerical modelling criteria for underground opening, rock mass continuum is regarded as homogeneous rock behaved linear elastic. The results of this study are summarized as follows: - Boundaries of the finite element mesh should be located at least 6 radii away from the center of the opening. - For circular openings, tension only developed when $K_0$ was less than one-fourAs the ratio of initial horiwntal to vertical stress increased, the inward springline movement increased and the inward crown movement decreased. - The displacement patterns developing for opening I shaped horse-shoe and opening II shaped powerstation are similar to those for circular openings. For both type opening I and opening II, stress concentrations develop at the intersection of the wall and floor. Greater stress concentrations are found for the type opening II.

최근 기후변화에 따른 이상홍수의 발생으로 인하여 댐의 수문학적 안정성 확보가 필요하다. 이에 따라 댐의 비상여수로를 건설하여 이상홍수에 대비한 대책을 마련하고 있다. 여수로의 운영상 고유속의 흐름이 방류되는데 이때 공동현상이 발생하며, 공동현상으로 인해 발생된 공동이 파괴되면서 구조물에 큰 피해를 주고 있다. 이러한 피해예방을 위해 현재까지 개발된 가장 경제적이고 효과적인 대책은 공기혼입장치이며, 국내에는 최근에 적용되고 있으나, 세부적인 설계기준과 설계기법, 절차등이 부족한 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 여수로 구조물을 대상으로 발생하는 공동현상에 대해서 이론적, 실험적인 분석을 실시하고자 한다. 공동현상에 대한 이론적인 배경과 최근의 연구동향을 분석하고, 국내 기존댐에 적용한 공기혼입장치 설치에 대해서 사례연구를 실시하여 적정성을 검토하였다. 또한 여수로의 대표단면인 개착식 여수로의 구형단면에 대해서는 주암조절지댐을 선정하고 터널식 여수로의 원형단면에 대해서는 임하댐 비상여수로를 대상구조물로 선정하여 각각 1차원 수치해석을 실시한 결과를 토대로 공기혼입장치의 위치 및 최적규모를 산정하고자 한다. 1차원 수치해석을 통해 분석된 공동현상 및 공기혼입장치에 대해서 3차원 수치해석을 실시하여 압력변화 및 공기혼입량등 공기혼입장치의 설치전과 설치후에 대한 효과를 검증하고 마지막으로 수리모형실험을 실시하여 1차원, 3차원 수치해석 결과에 대한 검증과 구조물의 안정성 증대를 확인하고, 추후 기타 여수로 구조물의 설계시 참고할 수 있는 기초자료가 될 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

The supercavitating rocket torpedo SHKVAL was analyzed in view of its system operation procedure and the structure and performance. 3 different propulsion systems installed in SHKVAL were 1st solid rocket booster for launch and acceleration, 2nd solid rocket booster for further acceleration, and Mg-rich Hydroreactive fuel rocket propulsion system for cruising. The gas generator used to help generate the supercavitation bubble was composed of a solid propellant gas generator and a hydroreactive fuel one. The structures and their performance were described based on as much knowledge as we have obtained from cumulative information and up-to-date analysis.

A considerable amount of researches has been performed to investigate the flow characteristics produced in the cavity system over straight wall. However, many practical applications of the cavity flows are found on curved walls, which are strongly subject to the centrifugal force effects. No work has been made on the cavity flows on the curved wall to date. In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics method has been applied to investigate the cavity flows over curved walls at Mach numbers in range of 0.4 to 0.8. The aspect ratio of the cavity was fixed at L/H=3, but the radius of curvature of the curved wall is changed in considering the real engineering practice. The results reveal that the pressure oscillations in the curved walls are stronger than those in the straight wall. It is found that the ratio of curvature of the curved wall significantly affects the unsteady flow characteristics inside the cavity.

Flow instability in the rocket turbo pump systems can be caused by various elements such as valve, orifice and venturi and etc. The formation of cavitation specially in the propellant feeding system can trigger the mass flow and pressure oscillation due to cyclic formation and depletion of cavitations. If the cryogenic propellant are used, which is very sensitive to temperature variation, the change of propellant properties due to thermodynamic effect should be accounted for in the flow analysis. This study focuses on the formation of cryogenic cavitation adopting MUSHY IDM model suggested by Shyy and coworkers. Also, the flow instability is investigated with developed numerical code in the downstream of orifice flow. To this end, three different orifices are selected and investigated by the numerical calculation.

액체로켓인 KSR-III는 점화시 및 연소실 압력의 이상 저하시 추진제가 지나치게 많이 공급되는 것을 막기 위하여 케비테이션 벤튜리를 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 Fluent가 제공하는 케비테이션 모형을 사용하여 케비테이션 벤튜리 내부의 공동 발생과 이에 따른 유량제어 현상을 해석하였다. 케비테이션 모형은 공동의 붕괴를 효과적으로 예측하지 못하는 단점이 있지만 벤튜리를 통과하는 유량은 공동이 발생하는 위치에서 유효 유로 감소에 의하여 제한되므로 유량제어 현상을 성공적으로 관찰할 수 있었다. 결과로서 벤튜리 상류의 압력이 일정하게 유지될 때 하류의 압력 변동에 대하여 유량이 변화하지 않음을 확인하였다. 상류의 압력이 24.1bar로 일정하게 유지되고 벤튜리에서 압력차이가 3bar 이하일 때 공동은 발생하지 않았다. 압력차가 6bar 이상일 때 공동이 발생하며 (압력차 6bar인 경우와 비교하여) 9bar, 12bar의 압력차에 대한 유량 증가는 각각 $5\%,\;7\%$에 그쳐 주어진 작동조건에서 벤튜리로 유량제어가 가능하였다.

The present study describes unsteady flow phenomena generated in a supersonic flow passing over a rectangular cavity and suggests a way of control of pressure oscillation, doing harm to overall performance and stable operation of aerodynamic and industrial applications. The three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier-stokes equations are numerically solved based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme and large eddy simulation. The cavity flow are simulated with and without control methods, including a triangular bump and blowing jet installed near the leading edge of the cavity. The results show that the pressure oscillation is attenuated by both control techniques, especially near the trailing edge of cavity.

When a ship propeller having wing type sections rotates at high speed underwater, local pressure on the blade decreases and various types of the cavitation inevitably occur where the local pressure falls below the vapor pressure. Fundamentally characteristics of the cavitation are determined by the shapes of the blade section and their operating conditions. Underwater noise radiated from a ship propeller is directly connected to the occurrence of the cavitation. In order to design low noise propeller, it is preferentially demanded to figure out key features: how the cavity is generated, developed and collapsed and how the effect of viscosity works in the process. In this study, we first perform inviscid analysis of the partial cavity generated on two dimensional hydrofoil. Secondly, viscous analysis using FLUENT with different turbulence and cavitation models are presented. Results from both approaches are also compared and estimated.
