The moderator thermal flow in the CANDU calandria is generally complex and highly turbulent because of the interaction of the buoyancy force with the inlet jet inertia. In this study, the prediction performance of turbulence models for the accurate analysis of the moderator thermal flow are assessed by comparing the results calculated with various types of turbulence models in the commercial flow solver FLUENT with experimental data for the test vessel at Sheridan Park Engineering Laboratory (SPEL).Through this comparative study of turbulence models, it is concluded that turbulence models that include the source term to consider the effects of buoyancy on the turbulent flow should be used for the reliable prediction of the moderator thermal flow inside the CANDU calandria.

이 논평에서는 수치해석에 관련된 국내의 난류모델의 연구현황을 살펴보았다. 국내에서 연구가 많이 되었던 혼합거리모델, R, .epsilon. 2차방정식모델, 대수응력모델의 연구현황을 주로 살펴 보았다. 국내에서는 아직 연구인력이 적기 때문에 꼭 필요한 부분이지만 연구가 되지 않은 부 분이 많았으며 현재 연구가 되고 있는 부분도 그 연구량이 적은 형편이다. 앞으로 전산유체역 학에 의해 열유체기계내의 복잡한 난류유동을 해석하여 기계설계와 운전을 개선하는데 활용하기 위해서는 더욱 많은 연구가 요구된다. 그 중에서 특히 더 관심을 갖고 연구될 분야를 열거 해 보면 (1) 벽면부근의 저 레이놀즈 R, .epsilon. 방정식모델과 대수응력모델에 관한 연구 (2) 복잡한 3차원유동을 정확히 해석할 난류모델 개발에 관한 연구 (3) 복잡한 난류유동에서 열전 달모델에 관한 연구 (4) 레이놀즈응력모델에 관한 연구 (5) Large Eddy Simulation에 관한 연구를 들 수 있다. 이들 연구에서는 난류모델의 물리적 의미에 관한 이론적 연구와 이 모델들 을 여러 경우의 실제유동에 적용하여 검증하는 연구가 병행되어야 할 것이다.

한국형 차세대원자로에서는 비상노심 안전주입수가 저온관을 통하지 않고 원자로용기에 직접 주입된다. 원자로용기의 가압열충격과 열수력적 관점에서 최적의 노즐위치를 결정하기 위해서 전산유체역학을 활용하였다. 상용 전산유체코드인 CFX를 이용하여 원자로 하향유로를 모사하는 해석대상 격자를 다중불록으로 형성한 다음 유동장을 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 운동량 방정식, 에너지 방정식과 표준 k-ε 난류모형 등으로 모형화하여 3차원 비정상상태 계산을 수행하였다. CFX에서는 경계 밀착좌표계, 비엇물림격자와 SIMPLE 알고리즘을 사용한다. 본 연구결과 원자로용기의 가압열충격 관점에서 가장 보수적인 사고인 증기관 파단사고시에도 열적혼합이 잘 일어나 가압열충격이 발생할 가능성이 없는 것으로 판단되며 안전주입수 노즐이 저온관 바로 위에 위치할 때 원자로 하향유로 내의 온도 분포가 가장 균일하여 열적 혼합 관점에서는 최적의 위치로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to predict the tendency for heat exchange and boil-off gas (BOG) in a liquefied hydrogen tank under sloshing excitation. First, athe fluid domain excited by sloshing was modeled using a multiphase-thermal flow domain in which liquid hydrogen and hydrogen gas are in the saturated state. Both the the volume of fluid (VOF) and Eulerian-based multi-phase flow methods were applied to validate the accuracy of the pressure prediction. Second, it was indirectly shown that the fluid velocity prediction could be accurate by comparing the free surface and impact pressure from the computational fluid dynamics with those from the experimental results. Thereafter, the heat ingress from the external convective heat flux was reflected on the outer surfaces of the hydrogen tank. Eulerian-based multiphase-heat flow analysis was performed for a two-dimensional Type-C cylindrical hydrogen tank under rotational sloshing motion, and an inflation technique was applied to transform the fluid domain into a computational grid model. The heat exchange and heat flux in the hydrogen liquid-gas mixture were calculated throughout the analysis,, whereas the mass transfer and vaporization models were excluded to account for the pure heat exchange between the liquid and gas in the saturated state. In addition, forced convective heat transfer by sloshing on the inner wall of the tank was not reflected so that the heat exchange in the multiphase flow of liquid and gas could only be considered. Finally, the effect of sloshing on the amount of heat exchange between liquid and gas hydrogen was discussed. Considering the heat ingress into liquid hydrogen according to the presence/absence of a sloshing excitation, the amount of heat flux and BOG were discussed for each filling ratio.

A numerical study on the Trombe wall system, a kind of passive solar systems, has been peformed. The system is modelled as the 2-dimensional steady laminar flow with the natural convection. The PHOENICS code was employed to analyse the performance variation due to the change in the geometrical factor. The mass flow rate and the maximum temperature are changed by the variations in the width of the vents, the width between the window and the wall, and the location of the vents. And there exists the optimal condition to maximize the utilization factor. Further precise analysis has been performed to show the optimal geometry with regard to the above three factors.

본 연구에서는 천음속 전투기 무장창 내부의 압력 진동을 제어하기 위해 F-111의 무장창을 2차원 공동(Cavity)으로 모델링하고, EDISON_전산열유체 시스템을 활용하여 공동의 형상 변화에 따라 발생하는 유동 특성을 분석하였다. 최근의 전투기들은 항력 감소와 스텔스 기능을 위해 무기를 기체 안에 내장하는데, 덮개를 열 때 발생하는 공동 형상에 의해 강한 압력 진동이 유발된다. 이러한 진동은 무장창과 주변 기계 장치에 구조적 진동을 일으키고 고장 또는 파괴를 유발하므로, 근본적인 해결책이 필요한 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 진동의 원인이 되는 전단층(Shear layer) 불안정성을 해결하기 위해 기존에 연구된 형상(Leading edge extension 및 Ramp)과 본 연구에서 새로 제안한 Ramp extension을 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 압력 진동의 원인이 되는 유동 특성이 줄어들고 압력 진동 역시 감소했음을 관찰할 수 있었다.

The present study numerically simulates the flow and heat transfer characteristics of rib-induced secondary flow in a square cooling channel with staggered V-shaped ribs, extruded on both walls. The rib pitch-to-height ratio (p/h) varies from 2.8 to 10 with the rib-height-to-hydraulic diameter ration (h/$D_h$)of 0.07 and the Reynolds number of 50,000. Shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model is used as a turbulence model. Computational results show that complex secondary flow patterns are generated in the channel due to the snaking flow in the streamwise direction for all tested cases. In the range of p/h=5 to 10 the staggered V-shaped rib gives about 3 times higher heat transfer augmentation than the reference smooth pipe with high heat transfer on both front side and the area around the leading edge of the ribs, while the former cases give about 18 times higher streamwise pressure drop than the latter ones. However, for the thermal performances, based on the equal pumping power condition, the case of p/h=2.8 gives the best result among three cases, mainly due to relatively low streamwise pressure drop, although it gives relatively low heat transfer augmentation.

This paper addresses a numerical method for predicting transient temperature distributions in the wall of a curved pipe subjected to internal laminar thermally-stratified flow. A simple and convenient numerical method of treating the unsteady conjugate heat transfer in non-orthogonal coordinate systems is presented. Numerical calculations are performed for the transient evolution of thermal stratification in two curved pipes, where one has thick wall and the other has so thin wall that its presence can be negligible in the heat transfer analysis. The predicted results show that the thermally stratified flow and transient conjugate heat transfer in a curved pipe with a finite wall thickness can be satisfactorily analyzed by the present numerical method, and that the neglect of wall thickness in the prediction of pipe wall temperature distributions can provide unacceptably distorted results for the cases of pipes with thick wall such as safety related-piping systems of nuclear power plant.
