The aerodynamic charateristics of high speed train can be improved by well-designing of its fore-body shape. In this paper, as a way of the design a fore-body shape which has optimal aerodynamic charasteristics, 9 models of fore-body shapes are proposed and the change of aerodynamic charateristics is studied through calculations of flow field around high speed train for each fore-body shape. The flow field around high speed trains are calculated using Thin-Layer Navier-Stokes equation and Chimera grid technique. The application of Chimera grid technique to these flow calculations over high speed train which has ground plane under the train makes grid generation easily. As a computaional algorithm, Pulliam and Chaussee's Diagonal algorithm, the modified form of the Beam and Warming's AF scheme which operates on block-tridiagonal matrices, is selected to reduce computaional time. Introducing hole points flag concept to this Diagonal algorithm. a algorithm for Chimera grid is generated. The variational trends of aerodynamic characteristics are studied from the results of flow calculations around high speed trains for 9 fore-body shapes.

In the present work, numerical simulations were conducted on the scaled model of the BWB type UCAV in the subsonic region using ANSYS FLUENT V15. The prediction method was validated through comparison with experimental results and the effect of the twisted wing was investigated. To consider the transitional flow phenomenon, ${\gamma}$ transition model based on SST model was adopted. The coefficients of lift, drag and pitching moment were compared with experimental results and the pressure distribution and streamlines were investigated. The twisted wing decreases the lift force but increases lift-to-drag ratio through delay of stall and leading edge vortex's movement to the front, also the non-linearity of the pitching moment is decreased.

Aerothermodynamic characteristics of re-entry vehicles in hypersonic speed regimes are investigated by applying CFD methods based on the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations. A special emphasis is placed on the effects of high temperature chemically reacting gases on shock stand-off distance and thermal characteristics of the flowfields. A ten species model is used for describing the kinetic mechanism for high temperature air. In particular, the hypersonic flows around a cylinder are computed with and without chemically reacting effects. It is shown that, when the chemically reacting effects are taken into account, the shock stand-off distance and temperature are significantly reduced.

A significant change in aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine blade can occur by ice formed on the surface of the blade operated in cold climate. The ice accretion can result in performance loss, overloading due to delayed stall, and excessive vibration associated with mass imbalance. In this study, the impact of ice accretion on the aerodynamic characteristics of NREL 5MW wind turbine blade sections is examined by a CFD-based method. It is shown that the thickness of ice accretion increases from the root to the tip and the effects of icing conditions such as relative wind velocity play a significant role in the shape of ice accretion. In addition, the computational results are used to assess the degradation in the lift and drag coefficients of the blade sections.

Researches in the area of aeroacoustics have been conducted by two methods. In the first method theoretical formula or experimentation are utilized, and in the second method flow field analysis and acoustic analogy are utilized. In contrast to the first method, the second method does not need new experiments for every individual change of flow configurations and conditions, and it can predict their effects by the flow field analysis, which makes the second method preferred than the first one. In this paper numerical analysis to predict noise generated by a turbulent flow about a two dimensional circular cylinder by use of CAA (Computational Aeroacoustics) method is conducted and the results are compared to the available experimental data.

Mass manufacturing of optical fiber includes the process of very thin glass fiber drawing by heating and softening the high purity silica preform and applying the draw tension on the softened tip of preform neck-down profile in a draw furnace. In this computational study, this process is numerically modeled with simplified geometry of the draw furnace which is comprised of essential parts such as concentric graphite heater, muffle tube, and insulation surrounding the heater. The iterative computational scheme is employed between one-dimensional model of neck-down profile prediction and two-dimensional axisymmetric thermo-fluid CFD computation of radiative heating and working gas convection. The computational results show the experimentally observed neck-down profile in heated section of preform, while yielding the reasonable values of draw tension and heater wattage. Also, this study analyzes and discusses the effects of heating conditions such as heater length and temperature on several important aspects of glass fiber drawing process.

본 연구에서는 3차원 전산유체역학 (3-D computational fluid dynamics, CFD)을 이용하여 고체고분자전해질형연료전지 (proton exchange membrane fuel cell, PEMFC)의 기체유로에 대한 성능에 관한 전산모사를 실시하였다. 또한 이 전산모사를 통하여 유체의 농도와 압력분포, 그리고 전류밀도의 분포 등 각종 분포에 관하여 연구를 진행하였다. 본 논문에서는 단일유로와 5개의 유로를 비교분석 하였다. 그 결과 5개의 유로가 단일유로에 비하여 각종 분포들이 균일하였고, 성능 또한 월등하였다. 특히 단일유로에서는 물질전달에의한 성능저하 영역에서 매우 낮은 성능을 확인할 수 있었고 반면 5개의 유로에서는 이 부분을 극복하여 보다 높은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

내부에 공유피드백 유로를 갖는 공유형 초음속 유체진동기에서 나타나는 유동특성에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 비정상 전산유체역학적 해석이 수행되었고 수치해석 결과는 동일한 운용조건에서 수행된 실험결과와 비교 검증되었다. 수치해석 결과, 공유피드백 유로가 해당 유체진동기의 진동 메커니즘에 큰 영향을 주어 진동기 출구 각 제트유동의 동조화에 큰 역할을 하고 있음이 확인되었다. 공유형 유체진동기는 동일 형상의 단일형 유체진동기와 비교하여 진동수가 증가하나 압력손실 또한 커짐이 확인되었다.

교반 탱크(stirred tank)는 회전하는 임펠러(impeller)를 이용하여 단상 또는 다상의 유체를 지속적으로 유동시키는 장치로 여러 산업분야에 활용되고 있다. 우수한 성능의 교반기를 설계하기 위해서는 교반 성능에 영향을 미치는 다양한 내부유동특성의 정량적 데이터의 확보가 반드시 필요하지만, 복잡한 구조의 내부유동에 관한 정량적 해석은 현재까지 어려운 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전산유체 해석을 통해 교반 탱크에 적합한 기법을 제안하기 위해 Flunet 6.3의 두 가지 모델을 사용하였다. mixture model을 이용하여 교반 탱크 혼합을 해석하였으며, standard, k-${\varepsilon}$ model을 이용하여 교반 탱크 내의 유동을 해석하였다. 해석 기법으로는 다중 좌표계(Multiple Reference Frame)와 이동 격자(Sliding Mesh) 기법을 이용하였다. 전산유체해석 결과를 가시화 실험 결과와 비교하여 교반 탱크의 내부 유동 및 혼합 특성을 파악하고, 교반 탱크 내부 유동 해석 시 적절한 해석기법 선정의 기초자료를 제시하였다.

A numerical study of subcooled onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) in a micro-channel under pulsed heating using volume of fluids (VOF) model was conducted. The VOF simulation adopting the existing experimental condition is compared to the experimental data. The time to ONB was determined when the void fraction at the microheater surface first appeared. The theoretical superheat for homogeneous nucleation relatively predicts the transient ONB results of convective flow of water well based on local temperature distribution. It was found that once heat load increases at the heater, transient flow boiling starts to occur faster.
