A turbulent flow in a conical diffuser with total divergence angle of 8.deg. was numerically studied. The low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model(Launder-Sharma model) was adopted to simulate the turbulence. The continuity and time averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a nonorthogonal coordinate system were solved by a finite volume method based on the fully elliptic formulation. The low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model reasonably simulates the pressure recovery and the mean velocity components. However, there are also considerable discrepancies between predicted and measured shear stress distribution on the wall and turbulent kinetic energy distributions. It is necessary to investigate the flow structure at the entry of the diffuser, numerically as well as experimentally.

Two-phase(air-solid, air-liquid droplet) turbulent round jet has been analyzed numerically using two equation turbulence model. The mean motion of suspending particles in air has been treated as the secondary fluid with virtual density and eddy viscosity. In this paper, the local mean velocity of secondary fluid is not assumed to be the same as that of the primary one. Dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy which arises because the particles can not catch up with the turbulent fluctuations of the primary fluid has been modelled by using the concept of Kolmogorov's spectral energy transfer. Numerical computations were performed for flows with different volume fraction of the dispersed phase and the diameter of particle. Results show that the total rate of turbulent energy dissipation, turbulent intensities and spreading rate of jets are reduced by the increase of volume fraction of dispersed phase. However it does not show consistent tendency with increasing the particle diameter. This investigation also shows that presence of particles in the fluid modifies the structure of the primary fluid flow significantly. Predicted velocity profiles and turbulence properties qualitatively agree with available data.

Large eddy simulation (LES) is increasingly used as a tool for studying the dynamics of turbulence in combustion chamber flows due to the promise of wider generality and more accurate results compared to Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) models. This study presents the appropriate subgrid-scale(SGS) model in LES for predicting the turbulent flow field in the internal combustion engine. The study of the effects of model and numerical parameters such as discretization scheme, initial condition, time step and SGS model was performed. The results of LES using the SGS model were found to be in the good agreement with experimental data.

Large eddy simulation code was developed to predict the turbulent flows over backward-facing steps including a recirculating flow phenomena. Localized dynamic ksgs-equation model was employed as a LES subgrid model and the LES solver was implemented on parallel computer consisting of 16 processors to reduce computational costs. The results of laminar flow showed qualitative and quantitative agreements between current simulations and experimental results availablein literatures. The simulation of the turbulent flows also yielded reasonable results. From these results, it can be expected that developed LES code will be very useful to analyze the combustion in stabilities and noise of a practical combustor in the future.

본 연구에서는 난류경계층 압력유동을 받는 구조물의 탄성응력파의 전파특성을 파동역할을 이용하여 해석하였다. 기존의 연구에서는 직각좌표계를 이용하여 난류운동이 동일한 한 방향으로 흐르는 경우에 대해 탄성응력파의 전파특성을 해석하였으나, 본 연구에서는 유체가 구조물의 표면에 수직으로 입사하여 방사형으로 흘러나갈 경우에 발생하는 탄성응력파의 전파 특성을 극좌표계를 이용하여 해석하였다. 또한 기초 구조물의 깊이방향으로 전파되는 탄성응력파를 감소시키기 위해 기초구조물의 표면에 접착시키는 탄성중합체층을 설계하는데 보다 효율적으로 응용할 수 있는 단순화된 1자유도계 모델을 유도하였다.

The flow analysis has been made by applying the turbulent models in the helically coiled tubes of heat transfer. The k-${\varepsilon}$ and Spalart-Allmaras turbulent models are used in which the structured grid is applied for the simulation. The velocity vector, the pressure contour, the change of residuals along the iteration number and the friction factors are simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations to make clear the Reynolds number effect. The helical tube increases the centrifugal forces by which the wall shear stress become larger on the outer side of the tube. The centrifugal force makes the heat transfer rate locally larger due to the increase of the flow energy, which finds out the close relationship between the pressure drop and friction factor in the internal flow. The present numerical results are compared with others, for example, in the value of friction factor for validation.

본 연구에서는 낮은 레이놀즈수 영역에도 적용될 수 있는 레이놀즈응력모델의 개발을 위해, 우선 벽근처 영역에서 사용되는 실험식(벽법칙)을 Hassid와 Poreh에 의 해 개발된 1-방정식모델로 대체하고 이를 레이놀즈응력모델과 접속시키는 방식을 사용 하였다. Hassid-Poreh의 1-방정식모델은 이미 Gibson등에 의해 그 성능이 평가되어 압력구배가 크지 않은 경계층유동의 낮은 레이놀즈수 영역에서 매우 좋은 결과를 보여 줌이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 곡면위의 난류경계층에 대해 위에서 설명한 바 있는 난류모델을 적용함에 있어 Gillis등과 Gibson등에 의해 실험된, 각각 곡률이 큰 경우 와 작은 경우의 대표적인 유동을 선택하여 모델의 성능을 시험하였다. 1-방정식모델 내에 포함된 길이차원(length scale)에 대해서는 곡률을 고려한 수정이 이루어졌다.

Two nonlinear κ-ε models with the wall function method are applied to the fully developed turbulent flow in a square duct. Typical predicted quantities such as axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses are compared in details both qualitatively and quantitatively with each other. A nonlinear κ-ε model with the wall function method capable of predicting accurately duct flows involving turbulence-driven secondary motion is presented in the present paper. The nonlinear κ-ε model of Shih et al.[1] adopted in a commercial code is found to be unable to predict accurately duct flows with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.

Three nonlinear κ-ε models with the wall function method are applied to the fully developed turbulent flow in a triangular subchannel of a bare rod bundle. Typical predicted quantities such as axial and secondary velocities, turbulent kinetic energy and wall shear stress are compared in details both qualitatively and quantitatively with both each other and experimental data. The nonlinear κ-ε models by Speziale[1] and Myong and Kasagi[2] are found to be capable of predicting accurately noncircular duct flows involving turbulence-driven secondary motion. The nonlinear κ-ε model by Shih et aL.[3] adopted in a commercial code is found to be unable to predict accurately noncircular flows with the prediction level of secondary flows one order less than that of the experiment.
