This paper presents the dimensionless wall distance, y+ effect on SST turbulent model for wind turbine blade. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase VI wind turbine was used for the study, which the wind tunnel and structural test data has publicly available. The near wall treatment and turbulent characteristics have important role for proper CFD simulation. Most of the CFD development in this area is focused on advanced turbulence model closures including second moment closure models, and so called Low-Reynolds (low-Re) number and two-layer turbulence models. However, in many cases CFD aerodynamic predictions based on these standard models still show a large degree of uncertainty, which can be attributed to the use of the $\epsilon$-equation as the turbulence scale equation and the associated limitations of the near wall treatment. The present paper demonstrates the y+ definition effect on SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulent model with advanced automatic near wall treatment model and Gamma theta transitional model for transition from lamina to turbulent flow using commercial ANSYS-CFX. In all cases the SST model shows to be superior, as it gives more accurate predictions and is less sensitive to grid variations.

In this study, overflow behaviors through a partially open tainter gate mounted on a standard ogee spillway were investigated by using the FLOW-3D. The results indicated that the discharge coefficient is in the range of 0.685 to 0.723. A relation of gate-controlled discharge to free discharge was proposed and a reasonable correlation between the free and controlled discharge was obtained. Pressures on the spillway crest and the gate were also investigated. As the gate opening rate decreases with a fixed gate opening height and the gate opening height increases at a fixed gate opening rate, negative pressures on the spillway crest and the dimensionless maximum pressures on the gate increase.

A high flow critical heat flux (CHF) correlation, based on the single-pin CHF experimental data for finned and unfinned heated rods, was developed for the thermal-hydraulic design and safety analysis of the Korea Multi-purpose Research Reactor (KMRR) core. The correlation consists of dimensionless parameters such as Reynolds number, thermodynamic equilibrium quality, liquid-to-vapor density ratio, and hydraulic equivalent diameter ratio. The fin effect was taken into account in the correlation by a finned-to-unfinned heated perimeter ratio. The effects of a cold wall and non-uniform axial power distribution ore discussed to verify the applicability of the single-pin based correlation to the KMRR fuel bundle. The correlation limit departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) was determined as 1.44 from the statistical analysis of the CHF data.

구조물 주변의 국부세굴에 대한 예측은 현장관측 및 수리실험 결과를 이용한 다양한 경험식과 수리모형 실험, 수치 모의 등을 통하여 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D의 세굴분석 능력 검토를 제고하기 위하여 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. FLOW 3D의 입력 매개변수는 평균입경(Average particle diameter), 유사 비중(Density of the sediment particle), 한계 무차원 소류력(Critical Shields number), 세굴 조절개수(Scour erosion adjustment), 한계 유사비(Critical sediment fraction), 점착성 유사비(Cohesive sediment fraction), 유사 항력(sediment drag force), 안식각(Angle of repose)이 있다. 이 중에서 평균입경, 안식각, 세굴조절개수, 한계 유사 fraction 등의 매개변수에 대해 초기값을 중심으로 일정 비율로 구분하여 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 주요 매개변수의 민감도 분석 결과는 수리실험 결과치와 비교 검토 후에 민감도의 변화 범위와 선행하여 조정할 수 있는 매개변수를 제시할 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 수공구조물 주변의 국부 세굴에 관한 해석시 FLOW-3D를 이용한 분석에서 보다 신뢰도 높은 결과 산출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

강우의 시간적 분포 추정 방법에는 여러 가지가 있으나, 현재 우리나라 실무에서는 거의 Huff 4분위법을 사용하고 있다. 수공구조물 설계과정에서 시간적 분포 추정은 최대홍수량 결정을 위한 임계지속시간 산정의 선행과정으로 사용되고 있으며, 이로 인해 본래 Huff 이론과는 다르게 해석되어 사용되고 있다. 본래, Huff분포는 강우지속기간이 1일(24시간)인 경우에 적용되는 방법이었다. 물론 실제 강우의 시간분포 양상을 적절히 표현할 수만 있다면 윈래 적용되던 지속기간에만 국한시킬 것이 아니라 다른 지속기간의 시간분포에도 이용하는 것은 타당하다. 모든 호우사상을 하나의 시간분포에 맞춰 놓고 어떤 지속기간이더라도 이 시간분포 양상을 따를 것이라고 보장할 수는 없다. 4가지 분위로 분류하고 중호우와 경호우를 나누는 정도의 지엽적인 구별로 해결될 수 있는 문제가 아니다. 서로 다른 지속기간의 강우사상의 시간분포가 동일한 양상을 나타낸다고 기대하기는 어렵다. 설계강우의 지속기간 결정시 임계지속기간을 고려하는 것을 고려하면 임계지속 기간에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 강우의 시간분포에 대한 정확성의 요구는 더욱 더 커진다. 최대홍수량 산정을 위한 설계과정에서는 모든 강우지속시간을 무차원하거나 최빈분위 사용 등의 Huff 4분위법은 오히려 우리나라의 설계개념과는 맞지 않을 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라 설계과정에서의 Huff 4분위법 사용의 문제점을 분석하고 그 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

A numerical model for unsteady dispersion of horizontal line source in turbulent shear flow is developed. A fractional step finite difference method is used which splits the unsteady two-dimensional advective diffusion equation into the longitudinal advection and the vertical diffusion equations, and solves them alternately for half time intervals by the Holly-Preissmann scheme and the Crank-Nicholson scheme, respectively. The developed numerical model is verified using a semi-analytic solution for steady dispersion in turbulent shear flow. Dispersion of an instantaneous plane source in turbulent shear flow is analyzed using the model. The degree of mixing at the same dimensionless time is almost the same regardless of the friction factor, and the travel distance required to reach a certain degree of mixing is inversely proportional to the square root of the friction factor.

This paper presents an optimization method to determine the shoulder height of an angular contact ball bearing by 3D contact analysis using nondimensional-shaped variables. The load analysis of the ball bearing is performed to calculate the internal load distributions and contact angles of each rolling element. From the results of bearing load analysis and the contact geometry between the ball and inner/outer raceway, 3D contact analyses using influence function are conducted. The nondimensional shoulder height and nondimensional load are defined to give the generalized results. The relationship between the shoulder height and radius of curvature of the shoulder under various loading conditions is investigated in order to propose a design method for the two design parameters. Using nondimensional parameters, the critical shoulder heights are optimized with loads, contact angles, and conformity ratios. We also develop contour maps of the critical shoulder height as functions of internal loads and contact angles for the different contact angles using nondimensional parameters. The results show that the dimensionless shoulder height increased as the contact angle and dimensionless load increased. Conversely, when the conformity ratio increased, the critical shoulder height decreased. Therefore, if the contact angle is reduced and the conformity ratio is increased within the allowable range, it will be an efficient design to reduce the shoulder height of ball bearings.

In this study, the effect of design factors in a pump station on the pressure variations which are the main cause of water hammering has been investigated by numerical simulations. As design factors, the flow rate, Young's modulus, diameter, thickness, roughness coefficient of pipeline are considered. The relationships between the pressure variations and the design factors are analyzed. The results show that the pressure variation increases sensitively with the flow rate and Young's modulus, and increases gradually with the thickness and roughness coefficient of pipe, whereas it decreases with the pipe diameter. The wavelength of the pressure wave becomes longer for a smaller Young's modulus, a smaller pipe thickness and a bigger pipe diameter. These relationships are nondimensionalized, and logarithmic curve-fitted functions are proposed by regression analysis. Most effective factors on the nondimensional pressure variation is Young's modulus. Flow rate, roughness coefficient, relative thickness and pipe diameters are the next impact factors.

Global warming impacts every corner of human life. Maritime transportation and shipbuilding industries are no exception. Recent counteraction in maritime industries is accelerating to meet the zero emission by 2050. Various alternative energy sources have been studied, and recent developments in Europe show that the windship, as a proven technology, can be an attractive candidate to solve the problem. In this paper, as the alternative transportation option, to infer the performances of modern windships, the non-dimensional ratios of past tall ships and windships are studied and reviewed. In addition, the ratios are compared to estimate the position of current and future windships under consideration. It is found that regarding the ratio distributions, the current windships being planned can be either wind-assisted propulsion ships or less fully functional windships than the past tall ships.
