A pressure relief valve is generally used to prevent piping systems from being broken due to high pressure gas flows. However, the sudden pressure drop caused by the pressure relief valve produces high acoustic energy which propagates in the form of compressible acoustic waves in the pipe and sometimes causes severe vibration of the pipe structure, thereby resulting in its failure. In this study, internal aerodynamic noise due to valve flow is estimated for a simple contraction-expansion pipe by combining the LES (Large-Eddy Simulation) technique with the wavenumber-frequency analysis, which allows the decomposition of fluctuating pressure into incompressible hydrodynamic pressure and compressible acoustic pressure. In order to increase the convergence, the steady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved. And then, for the unsteady flow analysis with high accuracy, the unsteady LES is performed with the steady result as the initial value. The wavenumber-frequency analysis is finally performed using the unsteady flow simulation results. The wavenumber-frequency analysis is shown to separate the compressible pressure fluctuation in the flow field from the incompressible one. This result can provide the accurate information for the source causing so-called acoustic-induced-vibration of a piping system.

The shock wave and boundary layer interaction patterns in an over-expanded rocket nozzle are associated with the production of undesirable side-forces during the start-up and shut-down processes of the engine. In the present work, a computational study is carried out to investigate the effect of the transient nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) on the flow fields inside the nozzle. The unsteady, compressible, axisymmetric, Navier-Stocks equations with SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model are solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR is varied from 2.0 to 10.0, in order to simulate the start-up and shut-down processes of the rocket engine. It is observed that the interaction patterns and the hysteresis phenomenon strongly depend on the time variation of NPR, leading to significantly different characteristics in the lateral forces.

A numerical study to predict the contamination behavior in a room being contaminated has been performed. The room with one inlet and three exits, which maintained same pressure at the ceiling, has been chosen as test model. Six sets of calculation have been performed, for one, two or three contamination sources of 1*10$^{-4}$ kg$_{c}$/s strength at two different velocities(0.2m/s, 20m/s). Numerical results show that the number the contamination concentration near the first source increased by every 20%-30% of the maximum concentration for each increase of the contamination source.e.

In this study, the hydrodynamic characteristics of Weis-Fogh type water turbine were calculated by the advanced vortex method. The wing (NACA0010 airfoil) and both channel walls were approximated by source and vortex panels, and free vortices are introduced away from the body surfaces. The distance from the trailing edge of the wing to the wing axis, the width of the water channel and the maximum opening angle were selected as the calculation parameters, the important design factors. The maximum efficiency and the power coefficient for one wing of this water turbine were 26% and 0.4 at velocity ratio U/V=2.0 respectively. The flow field of this water turbine is very complex because the wing moves unsteadily in the channel. However, using the advanced vortex method, it could be calculated accurately.

원자력발전소 화학 및 체적제어계통의 일부인 밀봉수주입계통은 원자로 냉각재펌프 밀봉장치로 일정한 온도 범위의 밀봉수를 공급하여 밀봉장치의 건전성 및 원자로 냉각재 계통의 압력경계를 유지한다. 그러나 발전소 과도상태시 밀봉수 주입온도가 허용범위를 벗어나게 되면 온도조절기 폐쇄신호에 의해 밀봉장치로의 밀봉수 주입이 차단될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소 과도시에도 밀봉수 주입이 지속적으로 가능한 설계개선 방안으로 밀봉수주입 열교환기 주위에 우회라인을 설치하는 방안을 제시하고 밀봉수주입 열교환기 내에서의 비정상 열전달 현상을 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 계산은 속도장을 정상 상태인 power-law분포로 가정하고 시간 t=0에서 입구온도가 급격히 변하는 과도시 우회 유량 및 시간 변화에 대한 온도분포, 국부 Nusselt 수, 평균온도 등을 구하였다.

The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the solid propellant rocket engine. The two step global reaction model for condensed phase and five step global reaction mechanism for gas phase are adopted to predict the detailed flame structure near double-base solid propellant surface. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is represented by the PaSR(Partially Stirred Reactor) model. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes and transient behavior of pressure and temperature fields in the solid propellant rocket engine.

A numerical simulation of an incompressible cavity flow is conducted. Two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are integrated using staggered grid and a finite volume method with C-QUICK scheme for spatial derivatives and fully implicit scheme for the time derivatives. SIMPLE-C algorithm is employed to solve the pressure field. Computational results show that the third eddy is generated in the shear layer mode but not in the steady mode. This signifies that the third eddy plays an important role in cavity flow stability. As a means to control the flow, jet blowing is applied to a position below the cavity upstream edge. Effects of flow control parameters on the stability such as the frequency, the phase, and the velocity magnitude are reported.

본 논문에서는 비정상 상태의 비압축성 유동장을 해석하기 위하여 물체맞춤격자방법이 아닌 가상경계법을 사용하였다. 가상경계법은 구조격자를 사용하여 구조물 경계면에서 Momentum Forceing을 사용하여 가상의 경계를 만들어 유동장을 해석하는 방법이다. Navier-Stoke 방정식의 수치 이산화 방법으로 Kim et al(1985)이 사용한 Fractional Step Method(FSM)을 사용하였다. 시간에 대하여 semi-implicit FSM를 사용하였고, 확산항에 대해서는 2차 정확도의 Crank-Nicolson Method를 대류항은 3차 정확도의 Runge-Kutta Method를 사용 하였다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용한 유동장 해석이 교량 단면에 대하여 수치해석이 가능한지 검토하였다. 가상경계법은 현재 많은 연구가 유선형의 구조물에 대하여 수행되어 오고 있다. 교량 단면과 같은 각 진 구조물에 대한 검토는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 가상경계법에서 다루고 있는 구조물 경계면에서의 Momentum Forcing 방법이 유선형의 구조물에 맞추어 연구가 진행되었기 때문이다. 먼저 본 연구의 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 원형 실린더에 대하여 가상경계법을 적용한 결과 Re 수 200에서 Strouhal Number, 양력계수, 항력계수를 이전 연구 결과와 비교하였다. Williamson(1988)과 Zhang(1995)의 연구결과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 교량의 단면과 같은 각진 구조물(Bluff Body)에 대하여 가상경계법 적용하였다. 본 논문의 연구에서 평가 대상으로 하고 있는 2차원 교량 단면에 대하여 유동장 해석을 하였다. 본 논문에서 정량적인 유체력과 유동장에 대한 비교 및 검토가 이루어지지 못했지만 압력장과 유선의 형태가 이론적인 값을 벗어나지 않고 있는 것으로 확인 되었다. Re 수 2700에서 전산 해석을 수행하였으며, 교량 단면 주위의 압력계수와 박리현상 그리고 후류에서의 Vortex shedding 현상이 모두 적절한 분포가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 가상경계법을 이용하여 각진 구조물에 대한 주위 유동장해석에 대한 가능성을 확인하였으며, 풍동실험과의 결과비교를 통하여 가상경계법을 이용하여 교량 단면 주위의 유동장 해석 결과를 정량적으로 비교할 것이다.

The effectiveness of two passive control techniques for alleviating the pressure oscillation generated in a supersonic cavity flow is investigated numerically. The passive devices suggested in the present research include a triangular bump and a sub-cavity installed near the upstream edge of a rectangular cavity. The supersonic cavity flow characteristics are examined by using the three-dimensional, unsteady Wavier-Stokes computation based on a finite volume scheme. Large eddy simulation (LES) is carried out to properly predict the turbulent features of cavity flow. The results show that the pressure oscillation near the downstream edge dominates overall time-dependent cavity pressure variations. Such an oscillation is attenuated more considerably using the sub-cavity compared with other methods, and a larger sub-cavity leads to better control performance.

The unsteady supersonic flow over tandem cavities has been analyzed by the integration of Navier-Stokes equations with the k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The unsteady flow is characterized by the periodicity due to the mutual relation between the shear layer and the internal flow in cavities. The upwind TVD scheme based on the flux vector split with the van Leer limiters is used. The results show the principal frequency is very reasonable. The principal frequency of the rear cavity due to the front cavity has been analyzed by the combination of the several aspect ratios of cavities. In the case of the front cavity of low aspect ratio, the frequencies of tandem cavities are almost same, because two shear layers developed from each cavity are mixed and developed to one shear layer. However, in the case of the front cavity of high aspect ratio, the characteristis of frequency are very different, because the second shear layer is developed in the diffused first shear layer.
