In this study, the ejector design was modeled using Fluent 6.3 of FVM(Finite Volume Method) CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) techniques to resolve the flow dynamics in the ejector. A vacuum system with the ejector has been widely used because of its simple construction and easy maintenance. Ejector is the main part of the desalination system, of which designs determine the efficiency of system. The effects of the ejector was investigated geometry and the operating conditions in the hydraulic characteristics. The ejector consists mainly of a nozzle, suction chamber, mixing tube(throat), diffuser and draft tube. Liquid is supplied to the ejector nozzle, the fast liquid jet produced by the nozzle entrains and the non condensable gas was sucked into the mixing tube. In the present study, the multiphase CFD modeling was carried out to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of seawater-air ejector. Two-dimensional geometry was considered with the quadrilateral-mashing scheme. The gas suction rate increases with increasing Motive flow circulating rate.

The hysteresis phenomena are frequently encountered in the wide variety of fluid flow systems of industrial and engineering applications. Hysteresis mainly appears during the transient change of pressure ratios, and this, in turn, influences the performance the supersonic wind tunnel. However, investigations on the hysteresis phenomenon particularly inside the supersonic wind tunnel are rarely studied. In the present study, numerical simulations are carried out to investigate hysteresis phenomenon of the shock waves inside the Supersonic Wind Tunnel. The unsteady, compressible flow through the supersonic wind tunnel is computationaly analyzed with an symmetric model. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The variaton in the flow field between the starting pressure ratio and operating pressure ratio of a supersonic wind tunnel is investigated in terms of hysteresis phenomenon.

Currents driven by irregular waves are modelled using numerical model with various empirical relations improved. Kitaigorodskii's equilibrium equation is refined to account for shoaling effect and used for checking the breaking condition. In order to compute the bottom friction realistically. equivalent roughness blights are estimated considering the ripple shape and bed load transport which may be significant the surf zone. Two sets of equations are employed to evaluate the ripple shape: one is suggested by Nielsen and the other by Madsen and Rogengaus. Both equations give similar shape of ripples. but Madsen et al. give lower value of ripple factor than Swart suggesting that the equivalent roughness becomes relatively small. Optimization technique is used to determine the proper values for the empirical parameters of $\kappa$-ι equations, and the longshore current velocity is computed using the values of empirical parameters determined by the optimization technique.

In this study, in-cylinder flow of the swirl chamber type diesel engine numerically simulated by VECTIS code. The flow fields during the intake and compression process were also investigated in detail. Numerical results revealed that the generation and distortion of the swirling, tumbling vortices and those influences on turbulence kinetic energy by shape of the jet passage, angle and area. It was also found that flow characteristics were affected by inflow velocity that depends on change of the jet passage shape. Swirl ratio was increased according to decrease of jet passage area, and was affected by piston motion according to increase of jet passage angle. Tumbling vortices had the similar in various cases, but tumble ratio was increased with the inflow velocity. The generation of turbulence kinetic energy was considerably influenced by complex effects of swirling and tumbling vortices.

하천의 지형을 조사하고 계측하는 것은 하천을 연구하는 전문가들에게 필수적인 일이다. 하지만 하천의 지형을 계측하는 것은 쉽지 않으며, 조사를 하여도 유사의 이송으로 인하여 하천의 지형은 시간이 지남에 따라 변하게 된다. 그러므로 실험이나 모델링을 통하여 하천의 지형을 예측하고 모의하는 것은 중요한 연구이다. 모델링을 이용하여 유사이송에 의한 하상변동을 잘 예측하기 위해서는 하천의 복잡한 흐름을 정확히 모의하는 것이 중요하며 유사를 발생시키는 힘인 하상전단응력을 정확히 산정하는 것 또한 중요하다. 하상의 전단응력을 산정하는 방법으로는 대표적으로 로그법칙에 의한 방법, 레이놀즈응력 분포를 이용한 방법, 난류운동에너지를 이용한 방법 등이 있다. 앞서 말한 방법으로 산정된 전단응력 값은 차이를 보이며, 이는 하상변동을 정확히 모의하는 것에 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 곡선좌표계를 이용하여 3차원 유동 및 하상변동을 모의할 수 있는 수치모형을 이용하여 전단응력 산정 방법에 따른 하상변동량을 분석하는 것이다. 하천의 복잡한 흐름을 정확히 모의하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식을 3차원으로 해석하여 흐름 계산을 하였고 유사량 산정공식과 Exner 방정식을 이용하여 유사이송에 의한 하상변동을 계산하였다. 흐름 계산의 검증을 위하여 선행 연구의 실험을 대상으로 모의하였다. 그리고 곡선으로 된 실험 수로를 대상으로 전단응력 산

The three-dimensional incompressible clavier-Stokes equations are solved to simulate the flow field around a Wigley model with free-surface. The IAF(Implicit Approximate Factorization) method is used to show a good success in reducing the computing time. The CPU time is almost an half of that if the IAF method were used. The present method adopts the local linearization and Euler implicit scheme without the pressure-gradient terms for the artificial viscosity. Calculations are carried out at the Reynolds number of $10^6$ and the Froude numbers are 0.25, 0.289 and 0.316. For the approximations of turbulence, the Baldwin-Lomax model is used. The resulting free-surface wave configurations and the velocity vectors are compared with those by the explicit method and experiments.

A Multi-Sectional 3D-PTV algorithm was developed to reduce the calculation time of the conventional GA-3D-PTV. The hardware system of the constructed 3D-PTV system consists of two high-speed cameras ($1,024\times1,018$ pixels, 60 fps), a metal halogen lamp (400W) and a host computer. The sphere(D=30mm) is suspended in a circulating water channel $(300mm\times300mm\times1,200m)$ and Reynolds number is 1,130. About 5,000 instantaneous three-dimensional velocity vectors have been obtained by the constructed 3D-PTV system. Turbulent properties such as turbulent intensity, Reynolds stress and turbulent kinetic energy were obtained. An eigenvalue analysis was carried out using the obtained instantaneous 3D velocity vectors to get the topological relations of the asymptotically stable critical point. Two structured shells, inner shell and outer shell, were found in the sphere wake and their motions were clarified by the measured data.

Recently, fluidic thrust vector control has become a core technique to control multifarious air vehicles, such as supersonic aircraft and modern rockets. Fluidic thrust vector control using the shock vector concept has many advantages for achieving great vectoring performance, such as fast vectoring response, simple structure, and low weight. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics methods are used to study a three-dimensional rectangular supersonic nozzle with a slot injector. To evaluate the reliability and stability of computational methodology, the numerical results were validated with experimental data. The pressure distributions along the upper and lower nozzle walls in the symmetry plane showed an excellent match with the test results. Several numerical simulations were performed based on the shear stress transport(SST) $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model. The effect of the momentum flux ratio was investigated thoroughly, and the performance variations have been clearly illustrated.

하천은 인간에게 용수의 이용 및 하천호안의 휴식처로써의 이용을 통해 직접적인 영향을 주고, 하천구조물의 심미적 영향, 랜드마크로써의 역할을 통해 간접적인 영향을 준다. 또한, 하천은 하천생태계에 서식하는 동 식물에게 영향을 준다. 그러나 하천유사로 인해 통수능이 감소하고, 하천구조물 주변에 침식을 야기할 뿐만 아니라, 댐과 저수지에 유사의 퇴적으로 저수용량의 감소시킨다. 그러므로 이를 예측하는 것은 경제적, 환경적으로 중요하다. 하상변동의 모의를 위해 기존의 2차원 모형은 만곡흐름에서 유동의 helical flow를 고려하지 않아 예측이 부정확하였다. 본 연구에서는 천수방정식을 이용한 하상변동 수치모의에 helical flow의 영향을 고려하였다. 하천과 같은 천수영역에서의 흐름 및 하상변동을 해석하기 위하여 수심평균 된 Navier-Stokes equations인 천수방정식을 이용하였다. 지배방정식은 곡선 좌표계에서 유한체적법으로 차분하였고, 비엇갈림격자를 사용하였다. 지배방정식의 닫힘 문제를 해결하기위해 0-방정식 난류모형을 사용하였고, "time marching" 기법의 적용을 위해 계산단계분할 방법을 이용하였다. 비엇갈림격자의 사용으로 인해 검사체적의 면에서의 유속이 필요하여 pressure-velocity coupling을 사용하여 유속의 진동을 줄였다. 또한, 만곡부의 helical flow를 모의하기위해 helical flow intensity model을 도입하였다. 앞에서 계산한 흐름을 바탕으로 유사량 산정공식과 Exner 방정식을 이용하여 하상변동을 모의하였다. 흐름의 검증, helical flow의 영향에 대한 확인, 하상변동의 적용을 위해 선행연구의 실험이 사용되었다.

This study performed the numerical analysis of the internal flow phenomena of 1 kWe-class solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks with internal manifold type and planar cells using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Star-CCM+. In particular, the locations where the turbulent phenomena occur inside the SOFC stack were investigated. In addition, the laminar flow model and the standard k-ε turbulent model were used to calculate the SOFC stack, separately. And, the calculation results of both laminar and turbulent models were compared. The calculation results showed that turbulent phenomena occurred mainly in the cathode flow. Especially, the turbulent phenomena were found in the cathode inlet/outlet region, and local turbulence occurred in the end plate near the inlet pipe.
