With the assumption that the performance of a catalyst is guaranteed and that the performance of an SCR reactor is influenced by the uniformity of fluid flow into the catalyst, this study carried out a numerical analysis of flow uniformity, which is an important design factor in SCR reactors. CFD was used to grasp flow uniformity and flow characteristics inside the SCR reactor. As for the flow uniformity, analysis was carried out on the velocity and direction of the fluid flowing into the front of the first SCR reactor. Numerical analysis was carried out in terms of the area ratios of the mixing evaporator to the catalyst for 500 PS SCR, 1 : 1.9, 1 : 3.1, 1 : 4.5, and 1 : 7.0. The results showed that the larger the area ratio, the smaller the flow uniformity. On the basis of these results, the flow uniformity of the modified SCR reactor is 77%. A guidevane was installed to improve flow uniformity, and attempts were made to grasp the flow uniformity based on the shape of the guide vane. The shape of the guide vane was cylindrical, and numerical analysis was carried out for cases with two cylinders and three cylinders. As a result of the numerical analysis, it was found that while there was no great difference between 82.7% with two cylinders and 81.7% with three cylinders, the effects of the installation of the guide vane on the improvement of flow uniformity were indisputable.

A typical heat exchanger, found in many industrial sites, is made up of a large number of unitary cells, which causes difficulties when carrying out full-scale three-dimensional numerical simulations of the heat exchanger to analyze the aero-thermal performance. In the present study, a three-dimensional numerical study using a porous media model was carried out to evaluate the performance of the heat exchanger modelled in two different ways : full-scale and simplified. The pressure drop in the air side and gas side along with the overall heat transfer rate were calculated using a porous media model and the results were then compared to results obtained with a one-dimensional flow network model. The comparison between the results for two different geometries obtained using a porous media model and a one-dimensional flow network model shows good agreement between the simplified geometry and the one-dimensional flow network model. The full-scale geometry shows reasonable differences caused by the geometry such as sudden expansion and contraction.

Recent researches on plant factory system deal with the convergence of lighting technology, agricultural technology inclusive to the high-tech industries worldwide in order to respond to the decreasing crop harvest due to global warming and abnormal weather phenomena. However, the fundamental performance standard is not currently being introduced in the case of plants factory and its commercialization is not activated because of high initial investment and operating cost. Large portion of the initial investment and operating cost of a plant factory is ascribed to artificial light sources and thermal control facilities, therefore, innovation should be provided in order to improve the economics of the plant factory. As an alternative, new plant factory could harness solar thermal and geothermal systems for heating, cooling and ventilation. In this study, a natural light dependent multi-layer plant factory's thermal environment was analyzed with two-dimensional numerical methods to elicit efficient operation conditions for optimized internal physical environment. Depending on the supply air temperature and airflow rate introduced in the facility, the temperature changes around the crops was interpreted. Since the air supplied into the plant factory does not stay long enough, the ambient temperature predicted around the plating trays was not significantly different from that of the supplied air. However, the changes of airflow rate and air flow pattern could cause difference to the temperature around the planting trays. Increasing the amount of time of air staying around the planting trays could improve energy performance in case the thermal environment of a natural light based multi-layer plant factory is considered.

In the present study, the dispersion characteristics of hydrogen leakage from a Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) were analyzed by numerical simulation in order to assess the risk of a hydrogen leakage incident in a long road tunnel. In order to implement the worst case of hydrogen leakage, the FCV was located at the center of a tunnel, and hydrogen was completely discharged within 63 seconds. The Leakage velocity of hydrogen was adopted sub-sonic speed because that the assumption of the blockage effect of secondary device inside a vehicle. The temporal and spatial evaluation of the hydrogen concentration as well as the flammable region in a road tunnel was reported according to change of ventilation operating conditions. The hydrogen was blended by supply air form a ventilation fan, however, the hydrogen was discharged to outside in the exhaust air. It is observed that the efficiency way to eliminate of hydrogen is supply air operating condition under the hazardous hydrogen leaking incident. The present numerical analysis can be provided useful information of ventilation under the hydrogen leaking situation.

진공청소기 브러쉬의 소음원인과 소음특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 먼저, 소음원인을 분석하기위해서 수치해석 결과를 토대로 유동저항을 분석하였다. 그 결과 청소기 브러쉬 소음의 주요 원인은 팬회전에 의한 톤소음이 아니고, 브러쉬 내부의 유체역학적인 특성에 의한 유동저항 증가로 인해서 발생하는 유동소음임을 알 수 있었으며, 그 타당성을 무향실에서 음향파워 측정 실험을 통해서 확인하였다. 다음으로, 소음측정 실험을 통해서 브러쉬의 최적 설계를 통해 저감할 수 있는 최대 소음저감 한계가 4dBA 임을 확인하였다. 팬 블레이드 개수, 공기 흡입구 확장에 따른 소음 특성을 분석하였고, 이로부터 소음저감 한계가 너무 작아서 팬 블레이드 개수, 공기 흡입구 확장에 따른 소음 저감량이 2 dBA 이내로 작은 것을 알 수 있었다.

파이프 유동 내에서 일어나는 소음 및 진동현상의 경우 일반적으로 난류유동과 근처의 벽면사이의 유동유기진동에 의해 일어나게 된다. 복잡한 난류유동을 가지는 확장관의 단순한 경우에서 본 연구는 수행되었지만, 방사소음의 경우 주어진 모델에서 크기와 형상 그리고 두께 등에 상당히 영향을 받게 된다. 또한, 방사소음은 그 파가 퍼져나가면서 주위 시스템에 교란특성이나 불안정성을 야기시키게 되는데 결국 중요한 파단과 파손을 일으키게 된다. 본 연구는 다양한 상용프로그램들 (Fluent, NASTRAN, 그리고 VIRTUAL LAB)을 이용하여 이러한 현상을 파악하고자 하였다. 이 연구를 통해 유동소음에 있어 깔려있는 물리현상들을 이해하고자 하였다. 확장관의 경우 단면적의 급격한 변화에 의해 박리와 높은 압력강하를 겪게 되는데, 방사소음의 계산으로 이 방사소음의 크기가 100에서 500Hz영역에서 전체적으로 약 20dB정도 감소시킬 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present paper provides a CFD analysis of diffraction problem for a ship with forward speed using an unsteady RANS simulation method, a WAVIS code. The WAVIS viscous solver adopting a finite volume method has second order accuracy in time and field discretizaions for the RANS equations. A two phase level-set method and a realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are adopted to compute the free surface and to meet the turbulence closure, respectively. To validate the capability of the present numerical methods for the simulation of an unsteady progressive regular wave, computations are performed for three grid sets with refinement ratio of ${\sqrt{2}}$. The main simulation is performed for a DTMB5512 model with a forward speed in a regular head sea condition. Validation of the present numerical method is carried out by comparing the present CFD results with available unsteady experimental data published in the 2005 Tokyo CFD Workshop: resistance, heave force, pitch moment, unsteady free surface elevations and velocity fields.

균열텐서 파라미터는 절리의 기하학적 속성이 결합된 효과를 지시하는 척도로 사용할 수 있으며 불연속절리망(DFN)에서 유체 유동통로의 연결 상태를 정량화할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이차원 DFN의 균열텐서 파라미터와 수리적 특성 간의 상관성 분석을 수행하였다. DFN에서 임의 방향으로의 수리전도도는 이에 직교하는 방향으로 산정된 균열텐서성분과 강한 비선형 관계를 갖는 것으로 평가되었다. 서로 다른 규모의 이차원 DFN 블록에서 방향에 따른 균열텐서의 일차불변량($F_0$)을 방사형 도표로 나타내었을 때, 방향에 따른 $F_0$ 값의 유의미한 변화가 없는 원형의 플롯은 절리성 암반을 대표요소체적으로 취급하기 위한 필요조건이 될 수 있다. DFN 블록에서 임의 방향으로 개별체 해석기법으로 산정한 수리전도도와 이론적 수리전도도 사이의 상대오차(ER)는 $F_0$의 증가에 따라 감소한다. $F_0$는 평균 블록수리전도도와 강한 함수관계를 갖는 것으로 분석되었다.

Purpose: This study investigates the influences of coughing direction and healthcare worker's location on the transport characteristics of coughed particles in airborne infection isolation room (AIIR), which is commonly called negative pressure isolation room, with a downward ventilation system. Methods: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the airflow and for tracing the behavior of particles. Results: The results show that the airflow pattern and coughing direction have a significant influence on the characteristics of particle dispersion and deposition. When healthcare workers are in the isolation room with the patient who is lying on the bed, it is recommended to be located far from the anteroom to reduce the exposures from infectious particles. And when the patient is lying, it is more effective in removing particles than when the patient is in Fowler's position. Although it is an isolation room that produces unidirectional flow, coughing particles can spread to the whole room and a large number of particles can be deposited onto patient, bed, side rails, healthcare worker, ceiling, floor, and sidewall. Implications: Following the patients' discharge or transfer, terminal cleaning of the vacated room, furniture, and all clinical equipment is essential. Also, it is necessary to establish detailed standard operating procedure (SOP) in order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
