In order to show the most suitable ventilation conditions for the prevention of spontaneous combustion of small ship engine room, We have performed CFD simulation and analyzed flow and temperature fields. The flow patterns indicated differently according to the number and location of supply and exhaust opening. The case of locating the exhaust openings at the center of left and right side ceiling to the longitudinal symmetric line were more effective to eliminate the generated heat. When the number of supply and exhaust openings were increased, the case of increasing the number of exhaust opening showed more suitable ventilation conditions. The most suitable ventilation conditions in order to prevent the spontaneous combustion of small ship engine room was predicted that the supply opening located at the center of front and after side ceiling to across symmetric line, and the exhaust opening located at the center of both side walls.

This paper presents a new approach for the analysis of hot strip rolling processes. The approach is based on the finite element method and capable of predicting velocity field in the strip, temperature field in the strip, temperature field in the roll, and roll pressure. Basic finite element formulations for heat transfer analysis are described with emphasis on the treatment of numerical instability resulting from a standard Galerkin formulation. Comparison with the theoretical solutions found in the literature is made for the evaluation of the accuracy of the temperature solutions. An iterative scheme is developed for dealing with strong correlations between the metal flow characteristics and the thermal behavior of the roll-strip system. A series of process simulations are carried out to investigate the effect of various process parameters including interface friction, interface heat transfer coefficient, roll speed, reduction in thickness, and spray zone. The results are shown and discussed.

Experimental study of sedimentation and self-weight consolidation has been primary research area in dredged soil. However, good quality of the dredged soil and minimum water pollution caused by the pumping of reclaimed soil require intensive study of the flow characteristics of dredged material due to dumping. In this study, continuity and the equilibrium equations for mass flow assuming single phase was derived to simulate mass flow in dredged containment area. To optimize computation and modeling time for three dimensional geometry and boundary conditions, depth integration is applied to governing equations to consider three dimensional topography of the site. Petrov-Galerkin formulation is applied in spatial discretization of governing equations. Generalized trapezoidal rule is used for time integration, and Newton iteration process approximated the solution. DG and CDG technique were used for weighting matrix in discontinuous test function in dredged flow analysis, and numerical stability was evaluated by performed a square slump simulation. A comparative analysis for numerical methods showed that DG method applied to SU / PG formulation gives minimal pseudo oscillation and reliable numerical results.

The ventilation system of the engine room of a ship is generally installed to supply the combustion air necessary for the internal combustion engine and to remove the heat source generated in the engine room, and it must satisfy the international standard (ISO 8861) for the design conditions and calculation standards for the ventilation of the ship engine room. The response delay of the ventilation system including the fire detector is affected by the airflow formed inside the area and the location of the fire detector. In this study, to improve the initial fire detection response speed of a fire detector installed on a fishing vessel and to maintain the sensitivity of the installed detector, the smoke behavior was simulated using the air flow field inside the engine room, the amount of combustion air in the internal combustion engine, and the internal pressure of the engine room as variables. Analysis of the simulation results showed that reducing the flow rate in the air flow field and increasing the vortex by reducing the internal pressure of the engine room and installing a smoke curtain would accelerate the rise of the ceiling of the smoke component and improve the smoke detector response speed and ventilation system.

온도 성층화는 많은 저수지와 댐에서 흔히 발생하는 현상으로 호수나 저수지의 표면 온도가 바닥보다 상대적으로 높아 깊이에 따른 열 구배를 나타낸다. 이러한 온도 성층화 현상은 여름철과 같이 상부와 하부의 온도 차가 클수록 안정적이게 나타나며 이러한 층화 현상으로 수직 확산이 제어되어 수질에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 댐이나 호수 등 층화 현상이 심한 유체 내부 바닥에 물순환장치를 설치하여 외부로부터 공기를 끌어와 하부에서 공기를 분출하여 온도 성층을 약화시키기도 한다. 물순환 장치를 설비하면 수체의 혼합이 용이해지며 물질전달이 개선되어 수질이 향상된다. 국내의 경우 대청댐, 보령댐, 영주 댐 등 많은 국내 댐 내부에 물순환장치가 설비되어있다. 본 연구에서 댐의 물순환장치의 성능을 파악하기 위해 산기식 물순환 장비가 설치되어있는 영주댐을 연구 대상 지역으로 잡았다. 연구지역의 계절별 성층구조 및 특성을 조사하기 위해, 봄, 여름, 가을 영주댐에 방문하여 관측 자료를 취득하였으며 물순환 장치는 봄철의 경우만 가동하였다. 봄철의 물순환 장치 가동 전후 관측 데이터를 바탕으로 수치모형실험을 실행하여 관측 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 여름, 가을에 물순환장치를 가동하였을 경우 댐 내부 수체의 혼합과정을 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 OpenFOAM(version 4.0)에서 열 전달이 포함되어있는 비압축성 VOF 솔버를 사용하였다. 본 솔버는 물과 공기를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며 온도의 확산 방정식을 포함하고 있다. 또한 유동해석 수행 시 사용한 물순환장치의 효울은 실제 장치의 효율과 동일하다. 본 연구의 목표는 다음과 같다. (1) 관측만으로 파악하기 어려운 수체의 혼합거동을 유동해석 자료를 통해 면밀히 살펴보고 (2) 봄철 물순환 장치가 작동하기 전후 자료를 바탕으로 여름 및 가을철 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 유동해석 자료로 취득한다. (3) 또한 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 통해 계절별 혼합 효율을 취득한다.

Numerical analysis has the advantage that no actual flow pathways need to be formulated, making this technique especially useful for simulation analysis such as pathway design. However, it does require that the complete physical parameters of the fluid and the complete boundary conditions be known. If any of them are unknown, either the calculation will become impossible, or even if the calculation does converge, the reliability of the result will be low. Therefore, a means of more accurate acquisition of flow information is required. In this paper, we present techniques for estimating flow field from a constraint equation for image information and velocity field, based on the image intensity changes accompanying the motion of dye in waterway. In the equation, we entered a stabilizing term to suppress estimation error. We show the effectiveness of our method through experiments with generated and real images of a Karman vortex.

The smoke filling process for the atrium space containing a fire source is simulated using two types of deterministic fire modus: Zone model and Field model. The zone mode used is the CFAST(version 1.6) mode developed at the Building and Fire Research laboratories, NIST in the USA. The lied model is a self-developed fire field model based on Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) theories. This article is focused on finding out the smoke movement and temperature distribution in atrium space which is cubic in shape. A computational procedure for predicting velocity and temperature distribution in fro-induced flow is based on the solution, in finite volume method and non-staggered grid system, of 3-dimensional equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, species and so forth. The fire model i. e. Zone model and Field model predicted similar results for Ire clear height and the smoke layer temperature.

Turbulent flows in an axisymmetric reciprocating engine are numerically simulated at it's suction and compression stage. Amounts of heat transfer through the wall of the cylinder are also estimated. k-.epsilon. turbulence model is adopted and the law of the wall is applied at grid-points near the wall. More than 40 * 40 grids are reguried to reasonably predict flows and the 3-level finite difference scheme for the time derivative term appears to be effective rather than the 2-level scheme. Calculated mean velocity distributions shows good agreements with an available experimental data. The program reasonably simulates flow patterns and pressures throughout the suction and the compression stages of the reciprocating engine. Predicted intensities of turbulence are still deviated from measured data. Further researches for turbulence modeling are expected.

In this study, diagonal ventilation circuits that are advantageous in air flow direction control were studied. Based on the results of the study, it could be seen that air volumes in diagonal ventilation circuits could also be calculated using numerical formulas or programs if the air volumes and air flow directions to be infused into diagonal branches are determined in advance as with other serial/parallel circuits. To apply the results, design plans for high level radioactive waste repositories applied with diagonal ventilation circuits and parallel ventilation circuits. To compared the each design plans and obtain expected operation results, ventilation network simulations were conducted through the Ventsim program which is a ventilation networking program. Based on the results, in the case of diagonal repositories that was expected to cause great increases in resistance, fan pressure was 1570 pa, total flux was 84 $m^3/s$, fan efficiency was 76.4%, fan power consumption was 181.2 kW and annual fan operating costs were 178,710,838 and thus maximum around 8% differences were shown in pressure and flux values and a difference of around 1.5% was shown in terms of operating costs.

연료전지는 수소를 이용하여 전기를 생산하는 발전 시스템으로 운전 중 수소 누출과 폭발의 위험성을 항상 수반하고 있다. 따라서 안전성의 확보를 위해 연료전지 시스템 내부에서 수소 누출 시 유e동 특성으로 인한 특정 부근 농도 정체와 환기의 영향을 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 실험 장치와 전산유체역학 프로그램을 사용하여 챔버 내 수소의 유통 특성과 환기구에 따른 환기의 영향을 확인하였다. 수소의 누출 속도와 양에 따라 유동장의 형태는 크게 변하였으며 환기구의 위치와 크기는 특정 부근의 농도정체와 챔버 내 전체적인 수소 농도에 영향을 미침으로서 안정성을 확보하는 중요한 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 예측 결과를 실제 실험 모델과 비교하여 그 타당성을 검토하였으며 차후 가정용 연료전지 모듈의 환기구 설계에 적용할 수 있다.
