This paper presents a quasi-3-dimensional calculation method considering secondary flows in the impellers of diagonal flow blowers. A Quantitative estimation of the secondary flow effects is made by using secondary flow theories. In order to verify the validity of the adopted models, that is, span-wise mixing model and the tip clearance model, numerical simulations are performed for two different types of impellers of diagonal flow blowers which are designed differently. Numerical experiments are conducted for each of a constant tangential velocity type impeller, and a free vortex type impeller, both at two different flow coefficients. According to the simulation results, it was found that the present model considering span-wise mixing and tip clearance effect shows better agreements with the experimental data than those without these models in terms of the flow velocity and the angle distribution.

The hydraulic design optimization and performance analysis of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion has been carried out using mean streamline analysis and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. In the present study the conceptual design optimization has been formulated with a non-linear objective function to minimize the fluid dynamic losses and then the commercial CFD code was incorporated to allow for detailed flow dynamic phenomena in the pump system. New designed mixed-flow model pump has been tested in the laboratory. Predicted performance curves by the CFD code agree very well with experimental data for a newly designed mixed-flow pump over the normal operating conditions. The design and prediction methods presented herein can be used efficiently as a unified hydraulic design process of mixed-flow pumps for waterjet marine vehicle propulsion.

Hydraulic dead-zone and particle removal efficiency in the base frame of a constructed wetland was evaluated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fraction of hydraulic dead-zone was estimated to be 1.2-2.1 % (v/v) and it was attributed to the artificial islands developed in the constructed wetland. Solids deposition rate could be increased with higher hydraulic retention time (HRT, ranged from 2.2 to 4.2 hr) of the wetland and larger particle size (ranged from 10 to $50{\mu}m$) in the influent. Experimental results showed that the volume concentration of the particles smaller than $10{\mu}m$ in diameter was varied from $1.99{\times}10^3{\mu}m^3/ml$ (HRT 12.8 hr) to $3.92{\times}10^3{\mu}m^3/ml$(HRT 2.2 hr) in the influent of the constructed wetland. With the effluent volume concentration data, removal efficiency of those particles was calculated to be 71.2 and 24.7 % when the HRT was 12.8 and 2.2 hr, respectively. Similar trend with the HRT variation could be identified with CFD analysis.

여수로는 방류량 월류시 한계류 상태와 고유속의 사류상태가 복합적으로 일어나는 흐름형태를 가지고 있어 여수로의 방류능력에 대한 평가시 수치해석 및 수리모형 실험을 통해 검증하고 있다. 여수로의 방류능력은 여수로 월류부 전면부 바닥고, 월류부 상 하류 경사, 월류웨어고 뿐만 아니라 교대 및 교각의 형상에 의해 영향을 받는다. 또한 월류웨어부를 지나 사류의 흐름양상을 보이는 천이부의 형상 및 후면 교각의 연장에 따라서도 급경사수로부의 흐름이 급변하게 된다. 국내 대부분의 여수로는 전면부의 교각(Pier)형상이 구조적인 안정성을 이유로 직벽형 설계방법을 일반적으로 채택하고 있으며 국내 및 미개척국(USBR)의 설계기준 또한 여수로 교각과 교대부의 평면 형상만을 고려할 수 있도록 제시하고 있어 국내 대부분의 수리 구조물들이 획일적인 구조물 형상을 벗어나지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수치 및 수리모형 실험을 통해 국내 대댐에 설계되어 있는 직벽형태와 본 연구에서 제시하고 있는 켄틸러버형의 교각형상에 따른 여수로의 수리적 흐름양상 및 방류능력을 비교하여 그 효과를 검토하였다. 검토결과 켄틸러버형태의 교각이 설치된 여수로의 경우 직벽형에 비하여 전면부 수위상승 및 흐름교란이 적게 발생하였으며, 방류능력 또한 개선되는 결과를 나타내었고, 후면 교각의 연장이 길고 점차 축소될수록 급경사수로부의 흐름이 안정적인 것으로 나타났다.

지금까지의 대부분의 2차원 수리해석 모형은 상류와 사류가 혼재된 불연속적인 천이류 흐름을 해석하기에 계산의 정확도 및 현실성에서 많은 문제를 보이고 있으며, 특히 계산과정에서 나타날 수 있는 마른하도의 처리에 있어서 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 유한체적기법을 사용하여 상류와 사류가 혼재하는 불연속적인 하천 천이류를 안정적으로 해석하기 위해 개발된 고정확도 수치모형의 자연하도 적용에 있으며, 또한 마른 하도로 전파되는 흐름 모의 및 계산과정에서 나타날 수 있는 마른하도 처리의 어려움을 해결함으로써 모형의 정확도와 안정성을 검증하여 실제 하천에서의 모형 적용성을 검토함에 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 흐름의 전파양상을 정확하게 반영할 수 있는 상류이송기법인 Godunov 기법과 관심격자의 좌우 격자 정보를 모두 사용하는 대표적 중앙차분기법인 Beam-Warming 기법의 장점을 모두 반영한 가중평균흐름률 (Weighted Average Flux) 기법을 사용하여 사각격자망의 구성을 통해 자연하도에 적용시킬 수 있는 2차원 유한체적모형을 개발하고자 하였고, 개발된 모형의 안정성, 정확도, 적용성을 검증하기 위해 직사각형 수로, 큰 사행비를 가진 만곡수로에 적용하고, 그 결과를 수리모형 실험결과와 비교, 분석하였다.

The seawater lift pump system is responsible for maintaining the open canal level to provide the suction flow of circulating water pump at the set point. The objective of this paper is to design a 2-stage mixed flow pump (for seawater lifting) by inverse design method and to evaluate the overall performance and the local flow fields of the pump by using a commercial CFD code. Rotating speed of the impeller is 1,750 rpm with the flow rate of 2,700 $m^3$/h. Finite volume method with structured mesh and realized k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulent model is used to guaranty more accurate prediction of turbulent flow in the pump impeller. The numerical results such as static head, brake horse power and efficiency of the mixed flow pump are compared with the design data. The simulated results are good agreement with the design data less 3% error.

This numerical analysis uses the lifting surface method and frequency-domain panel method based on the linear compressible aerodynamic theory. Increased knowledge of flow conditions within mixed-flow fan should indicates means of improving performance of these turbomachines. Thus, only an approximate solution is obtained whose prime intent is to recognize the most significant characteristics of the "ideal" geometry. For a given set of operating condition, the flow conditions within mixed-flow fan depend on the geometry of the machine (three-dimensional flow effects) and on the properties of the fluid. But most treatments of the problem have been concerned with the two-dimensional flow effects for incompressible, non-viscous fluids. Interest in the field of mixed-flow fan resulted in the undertaking of a program to develop reliable design procedures that would avoid the need for lengthy development work.

The development of lifting pumps that lift minerals to a mining vessel are one of the vital parts of the commercial mining process. The purpose of this study is to investigate internal flow and its effect on the performance of a mixed flow pump in order to improve the pump's performance. Numerical analysis was performed by commercial code of ANSYS CFX-11 based on flow rate and length of flexible hose. The rated rotational speed of the impeller is 1750rpm. For taking into account the turbulence, k-$\omega$ SST model was selected to guarantee more accurate prediction of flow separation. The simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results and showed that its efficiency and the head of the pump are related mainly to the flow rate and the length of flexible hose. A lesser flow rate caused more secondary flow through the guide vane passage. The length of flexible hose and flow rate exert much more influence on the pump's performance than the shape of the flexible hose.

Numerical instability of Preissmann scheme is studied for unsteady flow analysis in a natural river. The solution strategies to overcome the instability problems are presented in this paper. The main causes of numerical instability of Preissmann scheme are transition flow, abrupt change in cross section, in-appropriate roughness coefficients, time step and distance step, rapidly rising hydrograph, dry bed and so on. Transition flow model is proposed for the analysis of the transition flow which changes from subcritical to supercritical or conversely. The subcritical and supercritical reaches are groped in the channel, then appropriate boundary conditions are introduced for each reach. The transition flow analysis produces stable solutions in calculating through the various transition conditions. Verification with an actual river system is necessary in the future.
