LES analysis was conducted with in-house CFD code to investigate the turbulence evolution and interaction due to turbulence ring and splash plate in the gas generator. The calculation results show that the installation of turbulence ring can introduce additional turbulences and significantly improve turbulent mixing in the downstream flow. However, the addition of splash plate in the downstream of TR(Turbulence Ring) brings totally different shape of perturbation energy and enstrophy distribution into turbulent mixing. This enhancement can be done by the formation of the intensively strong vorticity and mixing behind the plate. Pressure drop was found to be a reasonable level of about 1% or less of initial pressure in all calculation cases. Also, calculation results revealed that the variation of shape and intrusion length of TR did not greatly affect the characteristics of turbulent mixing in the chamber. Even though the effect of installation location of splash plate on the turbulent mixing was not investigated yet, calculation results conclude the addition of splash plate leads to the increase in turbulent mixing with an acceptable pressure drop.

An effect of a spiral turbulent ring, so-called Shchelkin spiral, on a detonation performance was studied experimentally for acetylene and oxygen mixture. A couple of dynamic pressure transducers were used to calculate a detonation wave velocity by a time difference between two pressure peaks. In addition, impulse was measured by a load cell and the impulse was used to analyze the spiral effect on the detonation performance. A CFD analysis was adopted to calculate mass flow rates of the propellants and the minimum filling time. The maximum velocity and pressure were measured at the equivalence ratio of 2.4, and the measured values showed similar trend to C-J conditions calculated from CEA. For the shorter chamber with the short spiral, the maximum detonation velocity was appeared. In contrast, the longer chamber without the spiral showed the maximum thrust performance.

LES code was developed and verified to investigate the turbulence evolution in the gas generator equipped with turbulence ring. We compared mixing enhancement of various turbulence rings having different shape and size. To qualify the mixedness, we used two perturbation values of energy and enstrophy.

A series of combustion test was done to verify the optimization result of a gas generator for a 10 ton thrust liquid rocket engine. An injector element is F-O-F impinging type injector and the test was conducted with kerosene/LOX propellants. Test results of combustion temperature and pressure show a very good agreement with optimal design result and verify that the design method was properly established. And turbulence ring revealed its effectiveness in enhancing combustion gas mixing and temperature difference in the radial direction showed only less than 15K. Also turbulence ring induced only 3.2% pressure loss in the combustion chamber, which is far less than conventional level observed in a gas turbine engine. Axial temperature distribution also shows that turbulence ring could effectively reduce about 10% or more in gas generator length if its location is properly selected.

In order to predict the dispersion of a thermal discharge with strong turbulent and buoyant effects, the development of a numerical model using turbulence model and its application are significantly increased. In this study, a 3-dimensional steady-state model for the surface discharge of heated water into quiescent water body is developed. For the model closure of turbulent terms the 4-equation turbulence model is used. For economic numerical simulation, the elliptic governing equations are transformed to the partially parabolic equations. In general, the simulated results by the present model agree well to the experimental results by Pande and Rajaratnam. The model characteristics are presented in comparison with the predicted results of the 2-equation turbulence model by McGuirk and Rodi. Applying the 4-equation turbulence model to the Korea nuclear unit 1 at Kori site, feasibility and efficiency of the present model are validated.

A new stereoscopic PIV has been constructed using two CCD cameras, stereoscopic photogrammetry, and 3D-PTV principle. The capability of the developed stereoscopic PIV was verified through a test on the Standard Images which are provided on the website of VSJ. The arrangement of the two cameras was based on angular position For the acquisition of 3D velocity vectors, 2D velocity vectors were obtained using the gray-level cross-correlation method from the two camera images and they were matched stereoscopically. The wake of a circular cylinder was measured and turbulent properties were presented.

The flow characteristics around KRISO 300K VLCC double-body model have been experimentally investigated in a closed-type subsonic wind tunnel. The local mean velocity and turbulence statistics including turbulent intensity. Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy were measured using a x-type hot-wire probe. The measurements were carried out at several transverse stations of the stern and near wake regions. The surface flow was visualized using on oil-film technique to see the flow pattern qualitatively. The flow in the stern and near wake region revealed complicated three-dimensional flow characteristics. The VLCC model shows a hook-shaped wake structure behind the propeller boss in the main longitudinal vortex region. The thin boundary layer at midship was increased gradually in thickness over the stern and evolved into a full three-dimensional turbulent wake.

This paper is concerned with the development of a three-dimensional numerical model for coastal circulation and heat transport with improved prediction ability. The model uses fully nonlinear, time-dependent three-dimensional, $\sigma$-transformed equations of motion and equation of heat transport The model was verified with experimental data for wind-driven current in a one-dimensional channel and thermal jets flowing into stagnant waters and applied for unsteady flow induced by tide and thermal jets in coastal waters around Kori nuclear power plant. The model results were in good agreements with experimental data sets for wind-driven current and thermal jet, and field observed data sets in coastal waters. This study has shown that the $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model is applicable to various coastal conditions without any modification of turbulence constants.

산업의 발달과 환경에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 고효율, 저공해인 가스터빈의 응용범위가 넓어지고 있는 추세이다. 가스터빈 기관의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 터빈 입구온도를 높이는 것이 필수적인데 이는 재질에 의해 제한 받게 되고 이 때문에 효과적인 냉각방법의 필요성이 대두되었다 충돌제트는 국소적으로 높은 열/물질 전달 효과를 얻을 수 있어서 터빈 블레이드 냉각과 연소기 벽면 냉각에 효과적으로 응용 될 수 있다. 이러한 충돌제트의 냉각효과는 제트출구의 초기조건에 매우 민감한데 Kelvin-Helmholts 불안정은 불안정한 자유전단층에서 자연적인 와류생성(roll up)과 개개의 와류고리 형성의 원인이 되고 이 고리의 성장과 병합(pairing)은 제트의 유동특성에 상당히 영향을 미친다. 제트주위에 생성되는 이러한 와류에 의해 제트중심에서 속도와 난류강도가 변하게 된다. 이러한 제트초기의 불안정성은 하류에서의 와류성장에 영향을 끼치기 때문에 와류의 조절에 의한 충돌 면에의 열 전달 효과 상승을 기대할 수 있다. 이 조절방법은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데 하나는 제트주의 환형관에 이차유동을 가하여 와류를 직접 제어함으로써 자유전단류(free shear layer flow)의 안정성 원리를 이용하여 열 전달을 촉진하는 것이고 다른 하나는 음향여기(acoustic exitation)를 사용하여 제트주위의 와류형성을 조절하는 것인데, 자연적으로 형성되는 와류의 주파수(와류의 고유주파수)나 부조화 주파수(subharmonic)로 음향여기 시키는 경우 제트 주위 와류는 더욱 증폭되고 그렇지 않은 경우 제트주위 와류의 형성이 억제되어 더 긴 제트코어의 길이 및 제트코어 주위에서 작은 크기의 와류들이 형성된다.

The flame structure and soot formation in Acetylene-Air nonpremixed jet flame are numerically analyzed. We employed two variable approach to investigate the soot formation and oxidation processes. The present soot reaction mechanism involves nucleation, surface growth, particle coagulation, and oxidation steps. The gas phase chemistry and the soot nucleation, surface growth reactions are coupled by assuming that the nucleation and soot mass growth has the certain relationship with the concentration of pyrene and acetylene. We also employed laminar flamelet model to calculate the thermo-chemical properties and the proper soot source terms from the information of detailed chemical kinetic model. The numerical and physical model used in this study successfully predict the essential features of the combustion processes and soot formation characteristics in the reaction flow field.
