In the present study, the influences of the fire curtain and natural vent in a theater fire were investigated through the numerical simulation of a reduced-scale model of a theater fire using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). Based on a previous experimental study using the reduced-scale model, the 1/14 reduced-scale model and its conditions were constructed according to the law of similarity with a real-scale theater. Through a series of numerical simulations, the smoke movements were visualized, and the temperatures in the stage and auditorium, mass flow rate of the outflow through natural vent, and time at which smoke started moving toward the auditorium were measured and analyzed. The general trends on the effects of the fire curtain and natural vent during the theater fire predicted by the present numerical simulation were similar to the previous experimental results. For quantitative comparison of the present numerical simulation and previous experimental results, the mean percentage errors of temperatures in the stage and auditorium, and the mass flow rate of outflow through the natural vent were calculated. The present numerical simulation results showed good agreement with previous experimental results with reasonable accuracy.

무인 헬리콥터의 양력을 개선하기 위한 익형 설계 단계로서 두꺼운 익형(V1505A)과 얇고 처진 익형(V2008B)의 기본 두 익형의 특성을 예측하는데 있어 회전하는 블레이드의 현실적 조건을 반영한 3D 모델을 마련하고 성능을 예측하였다. Fluent를 이용한 400 mm 선형모델의 시뮬레이션에서는 V1505A 익형은 높은 받음각에서 안정적인 특성을 보인 반면 V2008B는 비교적 높은 동력효율 특성을 보였으나, 높은 받음각에서는 실속 이후 양력이 급락하는 특성을 나타낸다. 형성된 노드 수는 약 870,000개로 하였다. 시위길이 135 mm인 익형 V2008B의 형상은 ANSYS (Fluent v16.2)를 이용해 반경(길이) 1,502 (1,380) mm 의 로터 블레이드를 구성하였다. 충분하지 않은 유동장이 익형 표면에서의 유동의 영향에 영향을 주지 않도록 직경 20 m의 원방경계(far field)를 형성하였다. 사용된 매쉬의 형태는 정사면체 형태로 로터 표면으로부터의 첫 번째 두께 높이는 0.001 m이고 10개의 층으로 형성하였다. 정지 비행하는 헬리콥터의 상태를 가정하여 회전좌표계를 이용하여 정상상태의 유동을 해석하고 사용된 난류모델은 넓은 영역에서의 유동을 고려하여 Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델을 사용하였다. 내측그립 받음각 $6{\sim}22^{\circ}$에 대하여 현실적인 회전속도를 연동하여 600~1000 rpm을 적용하였다. 반복수(iteration)는 2000으로 하여 잔차값(residual)이 충분히 수렴하도록 하였다. 전체적으로 실제 헬리콥터가 발휘하는 양력보다는 낮은 수치로 예측되었으며 모델 및 해석 조건에 대한 검토가 필요해 보인다. 양력 값은 받음각 $10^{\circ}$에서 자중(약 68 kgf)을 극복하였고 받음각 $12^{\circ}$에 유상하중 20 kgf을 발휘하며 888 N의 양력을 보였다, 이어 받음각 $22^{\circ}$에서 실속 현상이 발생하였다. 받음각이 증가함에 따라 항력 역시 증가하였으며 받음각 $12^{\circ}$에서 121 N이었고 실속에 이르며 항력은 갑자기 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 본 연구는 변이 익형 개발의 선행 단계로 기본 익형에 대한 공력특성을 CFD 시뮬레이션을 통하여 예측하였다. 예측 값은 현실적 실험방법을 통하여 검증이 되어야 하며 이후 변이익형에 대한 예측과 설계가 가능하다.

In this study, flow characteristics around the hull form of KLNG are investigated by numerical simulations. The numerical simulations of the turbulent flows with the free surface around KLNG have been carried out at Froude number 0.1964 using the FLUENT 6.3 solver with Reynolds stress turbulence model. Several GEOSIM models are adopted to consider the scale effect attendant on Reynolds number. Furthermore, a full scale ship is calculated and the result is compared with the numerical results of GEOSIM models. The calculated results of GEOSIM models and the full scale ship are compared with the experiment data of MOERI towing tank test and Inha university towing tank test. Moreover, wake distribution on the propeller plane of the full scale ship is estimated using the numerical results of GEOSIM models. The prediction result is directly compared with the simulation result in full scale.

This paper presents a mathematical-physical model to predict the performance of a gas pusher used as a separation system powered by a gas generator. The empirical coefficients of heat loss and friction were determined from experiments. Based on the grain configuration of the gas generator, the analytical approach of combustion, flow and movement of a piston inside the chamber of a gas generator and a gas pusher was simulated by numerical method. The prediction method developed can be usefully applied to the design of separation mechanism systems.

Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the rudder since they play an important role in naval architecture fields. Although some values such as hydrodynamics forces can be measured easily in the towing tanks, it is difficult to obtain the detailed information of the flow fields such as pressure distribution, velocity distribution, vortex generation from experiments. In the present study, the effects of hydrodynamic coefficients and Reynolds number acting on the rudder were studied by using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD). Ansys fluent, one of commercial CFD solvers, solves the Navier-Stokes equations and the k-epsilon turbulence model is selected for the viscous model to solve RANS equations. At first, drag coefficients and lift coefficient for different angle of attack are obtained by using a CFD commercial code for KCS rudder. Secondly, the 2-D lift coefficients and drag coefficients are compared with 3-D coefficients at the same conditions. Thirdly, the effects of Reynolds number on the hydrodynamic forces are investigated.

Large eddy simulation (LES) of a partially premixed gas turbine combustor is conducted. Four different hydrogen compositions are considered to investigate the fuel composition effects on the flow field inside the combustor. The comparison with the experimental flame structure and velocity profile is conducted to verify the LES results, revealing that the partially premixed flame structure is altered when hydrogen composition is changed. The flame structure becomes shorter and thicker as the hydrogen composition is increased, and therefore, the flame effect in the rigid wall is minimized. The change in the recirculation zone at the combustor wall with hydrogen addition is further investigated. Overall, the LES with combustion model is quite promising for accurately predicting the reactive flow characteristics in connection with the fuel composition.

The objective of this study is to assess impacts of sorption heterogeneity on the transport of leachate leaked from unlined landfill sites and is accomplished by examining the results from a series of Monte-Carlo simulations. For random distribution coefficient ($K_{d}$) fields with four different levels of heterogeneity ranging from homogeneous to highly heterogeneous, the transport of leachate was investigated by linking a saturated flow model with a contaminant transport model. Impacts of a chemical heterogeneity were evaluated using point statistics values such as mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation of the concentration obtained at monitoring wells from 100 Monte-Carlo trials. Inspection of point statistics shows that the distribution of distribution coefficient in the landfill site proves to be an important parameter in controlling leachate concentrations. In comparison to homogeneous sorption, heterogeneous $K_{d^-}$ fields produce the variability in the leachate concentration for different realizations. The variability increases significantly as the variance in the $K_{d^-}$ field and the travel time between source and monitoring well increase. These outcomes indicate that use of a constant homogeneous $K_{d}$ value for predicting the transport of leachate can result in significant error, especially when variability in $K_{d}$ is high.

The effects of rotation on the unsteady laminar flow past a circular cylinder is numerically investigated in the present study. We obtained the numerical solutions for unsteady two-dimensional governing equation for the flow using two different numerical schemes. One is an accurate spectral method and another is finite volume method. Above all, the flow around a stationary circular cylinder is investigated to understand the basic phenomenon of flow separation, bluff body wake. Also, the validation of our own codes, expecially based on FVM, is carried out by the comparison of results obtained from our simulations using two different schemes and previous numerical and experimental studies. By the effect of rotation, the mean lift increases and drag deceases, which well represent the previous study.

The effect of oscillating on the unsteady laminar flow past a circular cylinder is numerically investigated in the present study. Our study is to analyze the vortex formation behind a circular cylinder for different rotary oscillation conditions. And then we are study to portray the unsteady dynamics of wake flows. We decide lock-on region by observing the phase switching phenomena We classify the vortex formation patterns in the primary lock-on region The present study is to identify the quasi-periodic state around lock-on region. At the boundary between lock-on and non-lock-on the shedding frequency is bifurcated. After the bifurcation, one frequency follow the forcing frequency ($S_f$) and the other returns to the natural shedding frequency ($St_0$). In the quasi-periodic state, the variation of magnitudes and relevant phase changes of $C_L$ with forcing phase are examined.
