This paper presents 3D numerical simulations of a Free Standing Hybrid Riser under Vortex Induced Vibration, with prescribed motion on the top to replace the motion of the buoyancy can. The model is calculated using a fully implicit discretization scheme. The flow field around the riser is computed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The fluid domain is discretized using the overset grid approach. Grid points in near-wall regions of riser are of high resolution, while far field flow is in relatively coarse grid. Fluid-structure interaction is accomplished by communication between fluid solver and riser motion solver. Simulation is based on previous experimental data. Two cases are studied with different current speeds, where the motion of the buoyancy can is approximated to a 'banana' shape. A fully three-dimensional CFD approach for VIV simulation for a top side moving Riser has been presented. This paper also presents a simulation of a riser connected to a platform under harmonic regular waves.

Using the commercial CFD code FLOW-$3D^{(R)}$ which has an implicit General Moving Object (GMO) method, the ship-induced wave has been simulated. In the implicit GMO method of the FLOW-$3D^{(R)}$, a rigid body's motion which is either user-prescribed (prescribed motion) or dynamically coupled to fluid flow (coupled motion) can be computed with six degrees of freedom (DOF). The simulated horizontal wave patterns are agree with the wave patterns represented by depth Froude number. The model has been well-simulated to generate the depth-dependent wave transformation in comparison of uniform depth case to complicated depth case. Additionally, it shows that ship-induced waves have been reasonably generated by two ships passing each other and by a ship moving in a curve. Therefore, it is suggested that the FLOW-$3D^{(R)}$ model calibrated with observed data should provide more accurate prediction for the ship-induced wave in a certain fairway or harbor.

CNG engine has been used as a transportation because of higher thermal efficiency and lower CO2 and particulate matter. However its out put power is decreased due to cylinder-to-cylinder variation during the supply of air-fuel mixture to the each cylinder. It also causes noise and vibration. So in this study, 1D engine simulation model was validated by comparison with experiment data and 3D CFD simulation was conducted to steady-state flow analysis about each manifold geometry. Then, the effects of various intake manifold geometries on variation were evaluated by using 1D-3D coupling analysis at engine speed of 2100 rpm range in 12 L CNG engine. As a result, variation was improved about 4 % though 3D CFD analysis and there was a variation within 3 % using 1D-3D coupling analysis.

This study suggests a method to enhance drone flight path planning and safety evaluation in urban areas using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). As the use of drones in urban environments has been growing rapidly, there is a lack of established methods for path planning and safety evaluation, which leads to a risky approach relying on experimental methods. Therefore, this research takes into account the intricate 3D fluid dynamics between drones and buildings by employing CFD to quantitatively plan flight paths and evaluate their safety. To accomplish this, the study focuses on Gimcheon Innovation City as the target area and collects relevant terrain and building data, and selects prospective flight routes. CFD analysis is then carried out to gather essential data for flight simulations and safety assessment. The safety assessments are conducted based on environmental fluid dynamics when the drone operates along the proposed flight paths

A commercial CFD code is applied to analyze the 3-D viscous flow field within vertical multi-stage centrifugal pimp including impeller with 6 blades and guide vane with 11 blades and is performed by changing flow rate from 10 to $26\;m^3/h$ at the constant 3500rpm. The purpose of this 3-D numerical simulation is to confirm how much the effect of blade inlet angle of guide vane has an influence on the performance of vertical multi-stage centrifugal pimp. these results performed by $20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$ inlet angle of guide vane are compared with grundfos performance data. The vertical multi-stage pump consist of the impeller, guide vane, and cylinder. The characteristics such as total pressure coefficient total heat shaft horse power, power efficiency, discharge coefficient are represented according to flow rate changing.

This paper presents a CFD-based methodology for the prediction of guide vane torque in hydraulic turbine distributor for aligned and misaligned configurations. A misaligned or desynchronized configuration occurs when the opening angle of one guide vane differs from the opening angle of all other guide vanes, which may lead to a torque increase on neighbouring guide vanes. A fully automated numerical procedure is presented, that automates computations for a complete range of operation of a 2D or 3D distributor. Results are validated against laboratory measurements.

본 연구에서는 3차원 CFD 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여, 군남 홍수조절지 접근수로의 안정성과 웨어의 월류능력을 검토하였다. 이를 위해서 현지측량자료와 1:5,000도의 수치지도를 이용하여 지형과 기본계획 설계(안)의 여수로를 구성하였다. 지형은 모델링 범위를 충분히 포함하도록 홍수조절지의 상 하류에 걸쳐 작성하였으며, 연직범위는 가능 최대 홍수량(PMF)시 저수지의 최고수위를 초과하는 범위까지 재현하였다. 모델링 범위는 웨어와 같은 구조물 주변에서는 조밀한 격자를 사용하여 정밀한 흐름현상을 재현토록 하였으며, 저수지 부분과 하류하천 부분에 대하여는 느슨한 격자망을 적용하여 최종적으로 2가지 격자망으로 모델링 전체범위에 대하여 격자를 구성하였다. 상류 경계조건으로는 저수지 수위를 경계조건으로 설정하였고, 하류 경계조건으로는 군남 홍수조절지가 일반댐과 달리 상 하류의 표고차가 크지 않아 방류시 하류하천 수위 상승으로 인하여 통수능에 영향을 줄 것으로 판단되므로, 방류량 대 하류하천 형성수위 관계식을 산정하여 방류량에 따른 하류하천의 수위를 하류경계조건으로 설정하였다.

Design of turbo-compressors has been considered to be a high-tech which only a few early industrialized countries could do efficiently since it requires not only deep understanding of high level gas dynamics and complex fluid dynamics but also accumulation of experiences in the feedback of expensive manufacturing and difficult testing to the design theory and empirical design coefficients. CFturbo is the turbomachinery design software which incorporates traditional well formulated German design technology and latest software technology of 3-dimensional graphics. Fine/Turbo is a powerful tubomachinery-oriented CFD package with quality structured grid topology templates for almost all the tubomachinery configurations for easy, fast and accurate CFD analysis. Rapid and effcient process off turbo-compressor R&D is setup with the combination of CFturbo and Fine/Turbo.

This study was initiated to evaluate the cooling performance of CAC (charged air cooler) and radiator in the engine room of a mini bus. So we had firstly to predict the mass flow rate coming from radiator grille and front bum per opening using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation based on 3D configuration. And simulations were carried out for different cooling module layout and bum per opening hole size on sam e vehicle operating condition. Simulation results show that CAC cooling performance at reverse protecting plate-applying model was much efficient than that of the bum per opening hole size-increasing model in IMTD point of view. Part of the CFD simulation results was com pared to with experimental data. It was confirm ed that the CFD approach using STAR-CD based on pursuing no-com promise solution could provide design engineers with useful design information in the early design stage of vehicle development.

This study was conducted to develop proper model for cold storage facility that could of for uniform heat movement and air movement f3r green grocery and improve improper design of the existing container-type cold storage facility. For that reason, new model(dome-type) cold storage facility was developed using 3-D CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation. The size was 6m${\times}$6m${\times}$5m. Its size and configuration were same to simulation model. Unit cooler was designed to send cold air in 4 side ways. A dome-type cold storage facility showed uniform distributions of air temperature and velocity because cold air was forced to move down along the ceiling and the wall and then circulated to the unit cooler from the central part of the floor. Dome-type cold storage facility also showed by low wind velocity, below 1 m/s that could minimized cold damage and quality deterioration.
