In this paper, turbulence models for considering roughness in the open source code(OpenFOAM) was investigated. Wall function in the RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier - Stokes) turbulence model was modified considering roughness on the flat plate by using roughness function. Correlation between the first layer height in the CFD model and roughness height of the plate was observed, and the most proper roughness function, and the first layer height from the plate wall in the CFD analysis was suggested in this paper.

An implicit viscous turbulent flow solver is developed for two-dimensional geon unstructured triangular meshes. The flux terms are discretized based on a cell-centered formulation with the Roe's flux-difference splitting. The solution is advanced in time us backward-Euler time-stepping scheme. At each time step, the linear system of equation approximately solved wi th the Gauss-Seidel relaxation scheme. The effect of turbulence is with a standard k-ε two-equation model which is solved separately from the mean flow equation the same backward-Euler time integration scheme. The triangular meshes are generated advancing-front/layer technique. Validations are made for flows over the NACA 0012 airfoil. Douglas 3-element airfoil. Good agreements are obtained between the numerical result experiment.

A new wall impaction model for diesel spray is described in this paper. The gas phase is modelled in terms of the Eulerian continuum conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy and fuel vapour fraction. The liquid phase is modelled following the discrete droplet model approach. The droplet parcel contains many thousands of drops assumed to have the same size, temperature and velocity components. The droplet parcel equations of trajectory, momentum, mass and energy are written in Lagrangian form. The new drop-wall interaction model is proposed, which is based on experimental investigations on individual drops, and it is applied for the general non-orthogonal grid. The model is then assessed through comparison with experiments over a wide range of test conditions of sprays. The results are in good agreement with experimental data.

본 논문은 전산 유체 역학에서 필요한 3차원 다구획 격자구성 프로그램을 개발한 것이다. 유동장에 격자를 구성하는 것은 유동해석 방정식을 푸는 것 보다 일반적으로 시간이 더 소요되므로 격자구성 시간을 단축하기 위해서 사용자 편의를 도모하는 컴퓨터 화면과의 대화형 코드를 개발하였다. PIGG라고 부르는 본 격자구성 프로그램은 형상 모델링, 표면격자 구성, 유동장격자 생성, 그리고 격자의 재구성에 이르는 일련의 과정이 대화형/화면게시 형태로 수행된다. 본 PIGG를 이용하여 전통적인 전투기 형상 격자를 구성한 결과 많은 시간을 단축할 수 있었다.

Flow distribution of a mid-size vehicle in engine room was investigated numerically to analyze the flow performance of given design cases in a front body of the mid-size vehicle. The data analyzed are the mass flow rate at the upper and lower openings, in the radiator, and the degree of non-uniformity of the velocity field at the inlet of the radiator. It is presented that the shape of the front end and the presence of the undercover greatly affect the flow fields, therefore, the flow performance.

The paper presents numerical simulations of laminar vortex-shedding flows past a circular cylinder for Re ≤ 500. The simulations are performed by solving the unsteady 2-D Navier-Stokes equations with a finite volume method using unstructured grid system. The resulting Reynolds number dependence of the Strouhal number and of the drag and lift coefficients is compared with experiments and with previous numerical results, showing good agreement. It is found that, for the truly laminar Reynolds number range the present calculation method described is capable of producing reasonably accurate results for the main practically relevant parameters such as Strouhal number, drag and lift coefficients.

In this study, effects of thurster axis tilting angle on the thruster-hull interaction and propulsion performance in a dynamic positioning system of offshore plant are numerically investigated. Straight and 7-degree tilted downward thruster models as a form of ducted propeller are considered. For numerical simulations, Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with SST turbulence model are solved by using STAR-CCM+. Results show that thruster-hull interaction is reduced in 7-degree tilted thruster model with lower vortex strength between thruster and hull bottom, although the propulsion performance does not have noticeable difference in a bollard condition.

Recently, several open source codes for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been introduced and are spreading fast. Our group has chosen the OpenFOAM as a platform to develop our own in-house code. In this brief review, we would like to share the information on the codes and what we have experienced so far. We introduce several features of OpenFOAM, which include the performance compared with commercial packages, estimation for current user population, and our own prospect for future improvement in performance and growth in user population. In addition, we briefly introduce our experience gained in embedding the level set method into the OpenFOAM.

In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical study on flow pattern in winter along connecting passageway of a composite building was conducted using a commercial CFD package. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equation coupled was solved by using SIMPLE algorithm in order to find steady solutions. It was shown that a upward flow is generated inside the building in winter due to buoyancy effect and that the air inside connecting passageway flows from the shorter building to the taller one regardless of the slope of the passageway. Further, it was found that the magnitude of air velocity inside connecting passageway increases as the uphill slope to the taller building increases and decreases as the downhill slope to the taller one increases, although the variation in the magnitude of fluid velocity is not substantial. Lastly, it was shown that the maximum air velocity inside connecting passageway is less than the allowable limit for all the cases considered in this study.

이 논문은 최근에 개발된 네가지 종류의 고차 유계 대류항 처리법인 SOUCUP, HLPA, SMARTER 그리고 COPLA 해법들을 비교 분석한다. 모든 해법들을 실제적인 공학적인 문제에의 적용을 위하여 비균일, 비직교 좌표에 공식화 하였다. 해법들의 상대적인 검증을 위하여 여러 가지 종류의 시험 문제들에 적용하여 검증하였다. 수치실험의 결과는 시험한 4종류의 해법들이 유계성을 만족하고 고차 해법의 정확도를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. HLPA, SMARTER와 COPLA 해법들은 거의 같은 정도의 해의 정확성을 보였으며, SCOCUP 해법은 조금 부정확한 것으로 나타났다.
