A LS(Level Set) formulation is developed for computing two-phase flows on non- orthogonal meshes. Compared with the VOF(Volume-of-Fluid) method based on a non-smooth volume-fraction function, the LS method can calculate an interfacial curvature more accurately by using a smooth distance function. Also, it is quite straightforward to implement for 3-D irregular meshes compared with the VOF method requiring much more complicated geometric calculations. The LS formulation is implemented into a general purpose program for 3-D flows and verified through several test problems.

High-efficiency and low-noise axial flow fan is developed by combining the FanDAS, a computerized axial fan design/performance analysis system, and CFD software(CFX). Based on fan design requirements, FanDAS conducts 3-D blade geometry design, quasi-3D flow/ performance analyses and noise evaluation by using through-flow analysis method and noise models for discrete frequency and broadband noise sources. Through the parametric studies of fan design variables using FandDAS, preliminary and baseline design is achieved for high efficiency and low noise fan, and then can be coupled with a CFD technique such as the CFX code for constructing final and optimized fan design. The FanDAS-CFX coupled system and its design procedure are applied to actual fan development practice. The FanDAS provides an optimized 3-D fan blade geometry, and its predictions on the performance and the noise level of designed fan are well agreed with actual test results.

In this study, an experimental device was fabricated to evaluate the hovering flight performance of a single rotor on a hexacopter used for river surveillance, and a thrust performance test was conducted. In addition, the 3D profile of the propeller was extracted by 3D scanning and CFD analysis was performed using ANSYS CFD 14.5 based on the extracted 3D model of the propeller. The aerodynamic characteristics were compared with the results of the performance tests and CFD analysis, and the vortex structure corresponding to each motor rotational speed in revolutions per minute (rpm) was identified. In the future, we plan to provide valuable data for multicopter propeller design and performance verification.

The performance of UV reactor which is used in water treatment is strongly affected by UV fluence rate and water flow in the UV reactor. Therefore, CFD tools are widely used in designing process of UV reactors. This paper describes the development of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology that can be used to calculate the performance of open channel type UV reactor used in wastewater treatment plant. All computations were performed using commercial CFD code, CFX, by considering three dimensional, steady, incompressible flow. The Eulerian-Eulerian multi-phase method were used to capture the water-air interface. The MSSS model, provided by UVCalc3D, was used to calculate the UV intensity field. The numerical predictions and calculated UV Dose were compared with experimental dataset to validate the CFD methodology. The reactor performance based on MS2 log reduction was well matched with measurements within 6%.

A multi-scale analysis of water-cooled reactor thermalhydraulics can be used to take advantage of increased computer power and improved simulation tools, including Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) (in both open and porous mediums), and system thermalhydraulic codes. This paper presents a general strategy for this procedure for various thermalhydraulic scales. A short state of the art is given for each scale, and the role of the scale in the overall multi-scale analysis process is defined. System thermalhydraulic codes will remain a privileged tool for many investigations related to safety. CFD in porous medium is already being frequently used for core thermalhydraulics, either in 3D modules of system codes or in component codes. CFD in open medium allows zooming on some reactor components in specific situations, and may be coupled to the system and component scales. Various modeling approaches exist in the domain from DNS to CFD which may be used to improve the understanding of flow processes, and as a basis for developing more physically based models for macroscopic tools. A few examples are given to illustrate the multi-scale approach. Perspectives for the future are drawn from the present state of the art and directions for future research and development are given.

최근 온실가스 배출량에 대한 규제가 높아지면서 IMO는 온실가스 배출량을 2050년까지 순 배출량 '0'을 목표로 하며 온실가스 규제를 강화하고 있다. 또한 조선/해양 분야에서는 추진 효율 향상, 구조 경량화와 같이 운항비 절감이 중요하다. 현재 이와 관련하여 구조 경량화와 고강성을 만족하기 위하여 3D 프린트 복합재료를 이용한 위상 최적화에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 3D 프린트 복합재료를 활용하여 선박 구조물인 방향타의 내부에 3가지 위상 형상(육각형, 사각형, 삼각형)을 적용하였다. 방향타에 위상 형상을 적용하였을 때 적합한 형상을 알아보기 위해 구조해석을 수행했다. 선속 8 knots의 조건에서 타 각 0°에서 30°까지 10° 간격으로 CFD 해석을 수행하였으며, CFD 해석 결과를 바탕으로 하중조건을 설정하였다. 방향타 내부 위상 형상을 고려한 구조 해석 결과 삼각형, 사각형, 육각형 위상 형상 순으로 우수한 성능을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 사각형 위상 형상을 가지는 방향타가 삼각형 위상 형상을 가지는 방향타 대비 78.5%의 무게를 가지며 경량화 측면을 고려하였을 때 사각형 위상 형상이 우수하다고 판단된다.

With the advancement of industry, the use of various sustainable energy sources and solutions to problems affecting the environment are being actively requested. From this point of view, it is intended to directly burn unused biogas to use it as energy and to solve environmental problems such as greenhouse gases. In this study, a new type of cavity matrix combustor capable of low-emission complete combustion without complex facilities such as separation or purification of biogas produced in small and medium-sized facilities was proposed, and CFD numerical calculation was performed to understand the performance characteristics of this combustor. The cavity matrix combustor consists of a burner with a rectangular porous microwave receptor at the center inside a 3D cavity that maintains a rectangular parallelepiped shape composed of a porous plate that can store heat in the combustor chamber. As a result of numerical calculation, the biogas supplied to the inlet of the combustor is converted to CO and H₂, which are intermediate products, on the surface of the 3D matrix porous burner. And then the optimal combustion process was achieved through complete combustion into CO₂ and H₂O due to increased combustibility by receiving heat energy from the microwave heating receptor.

본 연구에서는 화력 발전소 보일러에 대한 연소 및 열전달 해석을 위하여 화로 내부를 다중영역으로 나누고 각 영역에서 energy와 mass balance는 1차원으로 계산하고, 복사열전달은 3차원으로 계산하는 다중영역분할 화로해석 기법을 활용하였다. 그리고 적용 기법에 대한 신뢰성 검증을 위하여 국내 500 MW 급 석탄화력 보일러 화로에 대한 계산 값과 보일러 제작사의 설계 데이터를 비교하여 양호함을 확인하였고, 동일한 설비에 대한 CFD 해석과 비교한 결과 유사한 경향을 얻었다. 본 계산 기법은 CFD 화로해석 보다는 덜 상세하지만, 빠른 시간에 연료반응성, 화로형상 및 운전변수에 따른 특성을 계산할 수 있는 장점이 있으므로 발전소 현장에서의 설비감시진단 및 일일 연료/운전 계획 수립 등 활용성 측면에서 유용할 것으로 예상된다.

The High Temperature Test Unit (HTTU) was an experimental set-up to conduct separate and integral effects tests of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) core. The annular core consisted of a randomly packed bed of uniform spheres. Natural convection tests using both nitrogen and helium, and forced convection tests using nitrogen, were conducted. The maximum material temperature achieved during forced convection testing was 1200 ℃. This paper presents the numerical analysis of the flow and temperature distribution for a forced convection test using 3D CFD as well as a 1D systems-CFD computer code. Several modelling approaches are possible, ranging from a fully explicit to a semi-implicit method that relies on correlations of their associated phenomena. For the comparison between codes, the analysis was performed using a porous media approach, where the conduction and radiative heat transfer were lumped together as an effective thermal conductivity and the convective heat transfer was correlated between the solid and gas phases. The results from both codes were validated against the experimental measurements. Favourable results were obtained, in particular by the systems-CFD code with minimal computational and time requirements.

본 연구에서는 직접 메탄올 연료전지의 전기 화학 반응에 의해 발생하는 이산화탄소와 물의 조절을 위해 기체 발생과 흐름 현상을 관찰할 수 있는 3차원 모델을 개발하였다. 산화극 쪽에 발생한 기체의 조절은 직접 메탄올 연료전지를 설계하는데 중요한 문제이며, 연료 전지의 성능에 커다란 영향을 준다. 유로는 기체의 조절과 아주 밀접한 관계가 있으나 다양한 유로를 설계하고 실험하여 최적의 디자인을 찾는 것은 어렵고 바이폴라 플레이트의 높은 가격 때문에 많은 비용이 필요하다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 전산 유체역학 모델링 기법을 도입하였다. 전산 유체역학을 기반으로 하여 개발된 two-fluid 모델을 이용하여 유체의 흐름 패턴을 시각화 하여 분석함으로써 실험의 횟수를 줄일 수 있었고, 대표적인 4가지 연료전지 유로인 serpentine, zigzag, parallel, semi-serpentine 형태에 개발된 모델을 적용하여 속도, 압력, 메탄올 몰분율, 기체 몰분율 등을 계산하였다. 계산 결과를 이용하여 각 형태의 특성과 장단점을 파악하였고, 이를 바탕으로 가스를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있는 최적 유로를 설계 하였다.
