  • A numerical analysis has been conducted in order to simulate the characteristics of complex flow through linear cascades of high performance turbine blade with/without tip clearance by using a pressure-correction based, generalized 3D incompressible Wavier-Stokes CFD code. The development and generation of horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, leakage vortex, tip vortex within tip clearance, etc. are clearly identified through the present simulation which uses the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model with wall function method and a second-order linear upwind scheme for convective terms. The present simulation results are consistent with the generally known tendency that occurs in the blade passage and tip clearance. A 3D model for secondary and leakage flows through turbine cascades with/without tip clearance is also suggested from the present simulation results, including the effects of tip clearance height.

  • Two and Three dimensional dynamic adaptation code is developed for transient computations. This code involves mesh refinement and coarsening to either add points in high gradient regions of flow or remove points where they are not needed, for high spatial accuracy. Temporary cell algorithm is used to maintain the original grid quality. To show the assessment of the accuracy and efficiency, two dimensional study and unsteady flows are computed. Also, three dimensional steady computations are made to assess the refinement using temporary cell algorithm. The result shows the high spatial accuracy primarily in discontinuity regions in steady and unsteady computation.

  • Al ally 7050 has been developed for higher strength and improved property against stress-corrosion cracking. Since the use of this alloy becomes more important for forged aircraft structural components. $\phi$ 65mm extruded billet has been forged for a highly-stressed aircraft parts. After forging processing and heat treatment, the forged parts showed undesirable microstructure caused by severe local grain coarsening at the surface layer and heavily-localized metal flow, the analysis of resulted in degraded mechanical properties. The above results have been compared to simulation by using the DEFORM-3D and those showed the thermomechamical processing must be optimized in terms of forging temperature, strain rate and deformation amount. To prevent the grain coarsening at the surface layer $\varepsilon$ heavily-localized grain flows.

  • An unstructured implicit Euler solver is parallelized on a Cray T3E. Spatial discretization is accomplished by a cell-centered finite volume formulation using an upwind flux differencing. Time is advanced by the Gauss-Seidel implicit scheme. Domain decomposition is accomplished by using the k-way n-partitioning method developed by Karypis. In order to analyze the parallel performance of the solver, flows over a 2-D NACA 0012 airfoil and 3-D F-5 wing were investigated.

  • In this paper, a recently proposed parallel hybrid particle-continuum (DSMC-NS) scheme employing 3D unstructured grid for solving steady-state gas flows involving continuum and rarefied regions is described [1]. Substitution of a density-based NS solver to a pressure-based one that greatly enhances the capability of the proposed hybrid scheme and several practical experiences of implementation learned from the development and verifications are highlighted. At the end, we present some simulation results of a realistic RCS nozzle plume, which is considered very challenging using either a continuum or particle solver alone, to demonstrate the capability of the proposed hybrid DSMC-NS method.

  • The accuracy of turbulence models for the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in rough-wall flows is evaluated using data from large-eddy simulations (LES) of boundary layers with favourable and adverse pressure gradients. Some features of the flow (such as flow reversal in the roughness sublayer) cannot be captured accurately by any model, due to the fundamental model formulation. In mild pressure gradients most RANS models are sufficiently accurate for engineering applications, but if strong favourable or adverse pressure gradients are applied (especially those leading to separation) the model performance rapidly degrades.

  • Unsteady 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) solver is used to simulate the turbulent flow past an isolated prismatic cylinder at Re=37,400. The aspect ratio of height to base width of the body is 5. The turbulence closure is achieved through a non-linear $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The applicability of this model to predict unsteady forces associated with this flow is examined. The study shows that the present URANS solver with standard wall functions predicts all the major unsteady phenomena showing closer agreement with experiment. This investigation concludes that URANS simulations with the non-linear $k-{\varepsilon}$ model as a turbulence closure provides a promising alternative to LES with view to study flows having complex features.

  • Pumping performance of a disk-type molecular drag pump for a hybrid molecular pump is numerically analyzed by the direct simulation onte-Carlo method. The flows in pumping channels are three-dimensional (3D) in a molecular transition regime. The main difficulty in modeling a 3D case comes from the rotating frame of reference. Thus, trajectories of particles ar no longer straight lines. In the present study, trajectories of particles are calculated by integrating a system of differential equations including the Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The null-collisions. The present numerical results molecular model is used for calculation of molecular collisions. The present numerical results significantly disagree with the previously known ones. This indicates that an actual pumping passage is very limited to a narrow region due to the significant backstreaming of molecules from the outlet.

  • Current research about voltage leakage involves investigation of the effects of leaked voltage and current on humans through simulated environments and dummies. Electrocution results from leaked current when electricity flows through the body as a result of potential difference. Research that analyzes actual electrocution is insufficient because of the danger from leaked voltage present in the leakage area. This thesis analyzes magnetic flux density from current around a leak to investigate the distribution of current. The authors used a simulated environment to investigate electrocution accidents that frequently occur during floods through leakage along metal surfaces, and evaluated the distribution of leaked magnetic flux.
