The noise itself that affects the sensor array is defined as the noise which happens in the place where the system is installed and the circumference noise which comes from the ocean. The array structure for detecting acoustic signal in the underwater effected turbulent layer flow noise. In this paper to design the conformal array spectral density function was introduced and several cases of flow induced noise which affect transfer function were simulated. Modified Corcos wall pressure model was used as turbulent boundary layer flow noise. The effect of noise has been reduced as integrated sum of transfer function has been reduced by decreasing elastomer thickness and density when kx is in low wave number area. Also the characteristics of transfer function by Corcos wall pressure displayed the product of frequency density function. This simulation results can be applied to the conformal array design in unmmaned underwater vehicle in the near future.

In order to improve air quality of indoor environment, studies of the underfloor air distribution (UFAD) system for application in buildings are actively in progress based on temperature and air flow distribution. However, although the age of air is the major evaluation parameter, there has been very little study on this parameter for the UFAD system. In this study, we investigated the age of air to reach the air diffuser, which is installed at the bottom of the interior by the UFAD system. Computational fluid dynamics simulations showed no regular pattern to the maximum value of the age of air in accordance with air flow rate and the velocity at air diffuser. These factors can be deduced from air movement by considering that air emitted from air conditioners was rotated according to the bottom shape of the floor, and then, the age of air in the rotation center was increased. The average age of air of internal interior was reduced considerably as the flow velocity at the underfloor air diffuser was increased from 0.5 m/s to 1.0 m/s However, the age of air was not substantially affected with change in the air volume. Moreover, when the flow velocity at the underfloor air diffuser was higher than 1.0 m/s, the age of air showed no significant difference with change in air volume or height of measurement. These results imply that indoor air quality is more substantially influenced by flow velocity than air volume, and the appropriate flow velocity is 1 m/s or more.

The major component with a significant impact on the thermodynamic efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle is the turbine. Many difficulties occur in the turbine design of an organic Rankine cycle because the expansion process in an organic Rankine cycle is generally accompanied by a dramatic change in the working fluid properties. A precise preliminary design for a radial inflow turbine is hard to obtain using the classic method for selecting the loading and flow coefficients from the existing performance chart. Therefore, this study proposed a method to calculate the loading and flow coefficient based on the number of rotor vanes and thermodynamic design requirements. Preliminary design results using the proposed models were in fairly good agreement with the credible results using the commercial preliminary design software. Furthermore, a numerical analysis of the preliminary design results was carried out to verify the accuracy of the proposed preliminary design models, and most of the dependent variables, with the exception of the efficiency, were analyzed to meet the preliminary design conditions.

Finite element analysis of fluid flow with moving free surface has been carried out in two and tree dimensions. The new VOF-based numerical algorithm that has been proposed by the present authors was applied to several 2-D and 3-D free surface flow problems. The proposed free surface tracking scheme is based on two numerical tools that have been newly introduced by the present authots; the orientation vector to represent the free surface orientation in each cell and the baby-cell to determine the fluid volume flux at each cell boundary. The proposed numerical algorithm has been applied to 2-D and 3-D cavity filling and sloshing problems, which demonstrated versatility and effectiveness of the new free surface tracking scheme as well as the overall solution procedure. The proposed numerical algorithm resolved successfully the interacting free surface with each other. The simulated results demonstrated the applicability of proposed numerical algorithm to the practical problems of large free surface motion. Also, it has been demonstrated that the proposed free surface tracking scheme can be easily implemented in any irregular non-uniform grid systems and can be extended to the 3-D free surface flow problem without additional efforts.

Numerical simulation of fluid flow with moving free surface has been carried out. For the free surface flow, a VOF(Volume of Fluid)-based algorithm utilizing a fixed grid system has been investigated. In order to reduce numerical smearing at the free surface represented on a fixed grid system, a new free surface tracking algorithm based on the donor-acceptor scheme has been presented. Novel features of the proposed algorithm are characterized as two numerical tools; the orientation vector to represent the free surface orientation in each cell and the baby-cell to determine the fluid volume flux at each cell boundary. The proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in any irregular non-uniform grid systems that are usual in finite element method (FEM). Moreover, the proposed algorithm can be extended and applied to the 3-D free surface flow problem without additional efforts. For computation of unsteady incompressible flow, a finite element approximation based on the explicit fractional step method has been adopted. In addition, the SUPG(streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin) method has been implemented to deal with convection dominated flows. Combination of the proposed free surface tracking scheme and explicit fractional step formulation resulted in an efficient solution algorithm. Validity of the present solution algorithm was demonstrated from its application to the broken dam and the solitary wave propagation problems.

The present study numerically investigated two-dimensional dielectrophoretic motions of a pair of particles suspended freely in a viscous fluid, interacting with a nearby nonconducting planar wall, under an external uniform electric field. The results show that the motions depend strongly on the set of two electric conductivity signs and the particles-wall separation gap. When both particles have the same sign, they revolve and finally align parallel to the electric field. In contrast, with different signs, they revolve in the opposite direction and finally align perpendicular to the field. Simultaneously, they are repelled to move farther away from the wall regardless of their conductivity set. With further separation from the wall, the particles-wall interaction effect diminishes and tthe particle-particle effect dominates.

The objective of this study is to propose a new channel shape that improves thermal-hydraulic performance. The existing Zigzag channel has high pressure loss due to flow separation and reverse flow. To improve this disadvantage, partial straight channel is inserted into bended points. Also, the effects of straight channel's length change on heat transfer and pressure loss are analyzed. Thermal-hydraulic performance of the new shape and existing Zigzag channel are quantitatively compared in terms of Goodness Factor. Mass flow rate was changed from $1.41{\times}10^{-4}$ to $2.48{\times}10^{-4}kg/s$. The average volume goodness factor of 1mm straight channel shape was increased by 25% compared to the Zigzag channel.

Recently, an air-lift bio-reactor operated by micro bubbles has been utilized to product hydrogen fuel. To enhance the performance, characteristics of hydrodynamics inside the bio-reactor were analyzed using a numerical simulation for two-phase flow. An Eulerian model was employed for both of liquid and gas phases. The standard k-ε model was used for turbulence induced by micro bubbles. A Population Balance Model was employed to consider size distribution of bubbles. A hollow cylinder was introduced at the center of the reactor to reduce a dead area which disturbs circulation of CO bubbles. An appropriate diameter of the draft tube and hollow cylinder were optimized for better performance of the bio-reactor. The optimum model could be obtained when the cross-sectional area ratio of the hollow cylinder to the reactor, and the width ratio of the riser to the downcomer approached 0.4 and 3.5, respectively. Consequently, it is expected that the optimum model could enhance the performance of the bio-reactor with the homogeneous distribution and higher density of CO, and more effective mixing.

유도결합 플라즈마를 이용한 식각 장치에서 플라즈마 균일도 향상에 대한 수많은 연구가 이뤄지고 있다. 안테나의 디자인, 인가 전력과 주파수, 안테나와 기판간의 거리, 기판과 챔버 외벽간의 거리 등 다양한 변수들이 변화되어 왔다. 또한, 최근에는 식각 균일도뿐만 아니라 식각 속도 향상에도 많은 관심이 모아지면서 유동에 영향을 주는 GDP 구조가 다시 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 300 mm 식각장치를 형상화하고, GDP의 구조와 유량비에 따라 플라즈마의 균일도에 어떻게 영향을 끼지는지 사용 유체역학 전산모사 프로그램인 CFD-ACE+를 이용하여 예측해 보았다. 안테나는 2중 직렬방식으로 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 안테나에 각기 다른 전력을 인가 할 수 있는 구조를 사용했으며, 압력은 10에서 60 mTorr까지 변화시켰다. GDP의 구조는 안쪽 입구와 바깥쪽 입구가 있으며 역시 따로 유량을 조절할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 안쪽 입구는 수직방향을 향하고 있으며, 바깥쪽 입구는 90도 이내의 각을 갖도록 꺾여 있는 것과 수평방향으로 주입할 수 있는 구조, 두 가지를 사용하였다. 유량 비율은 안쪽 입구와 바깥쪽 입구를 2:8, 5:5, 8:2로 고정하였다. 우선 GDP의 구조가 90이내의 각을 갖도록 주입되는 구조에서는 어떤 유량비율에서도 약간의 vortex가 발생했다. 수직방향의 유량이 감소될수록 기판에서 멀리서 발생했으며 강도 또한 감소했다. 기판 표면에서의 압력분포 균일도도 8:2에서 2.8%, 2:8에서 0.6%로 향상되었다. 2:8의 유량 비율에서 압력을 10에서 60 mTorr까지 향상시키면 vortex 효과는 감소되나 기판에서의 압력 균일도가 0.8%까지 약간 나빠졌다. 여기서 발생되는 vortex는 GDP 구조를 수평방향으로 주입되기 함으로서 해결할 수 있었으며, 압력 균일도도 0.2%까지 향상시킬 수 있었다. 또한, 강한 수직방향의 유량은 중심에 발생하는 플라즈마의 중앙을 밀어내는 효과를 확인했으며, 실험적 증명이 추후 연구단계로 진행될 예정이다. 식각 균일도나 식각 속도를 예측하려면 CF계열의 복잡한 가스를 사용해야하기 때문에 유량이 플라즈마에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해서 본 연구에서는 단일종인 Ar 가스만을 사용하였다. 첫 단계로 이와 같이 최적화시킨 유동조건에서 복잡한 식각가스를 이용한 플라즈마 계산은 다음 단계로 준비 중에 있다.

The counter-rotating approach on wind turbine has been recently put in interest for its certain advantages in both design and performance. This paper introduces a study on a counter-rotating wind turbine designed and modeled using NREL airfoils S822 and S823. The aims of the study is to evaluate and discover the performance of the counter-rotating system, and compares to that of single rotor turbine of same design using numerical simulation. The results show higher performance of the counter-rotating system compared with single rotor case at TSR 3 to 5 but lower performance at higher TSR. This is due to the interaction between upstream and downstream rotors. Thus, the counter-rotating turbine is more efficient at low rotor rotational speed.
