This paper describes the air compressibility effect in the CFD simulation of water impact load prediction. In order to consider the air compressibility effect, two sets of governing equations are employed, namely the incompressible Navier-stokes equations and compressible Navier-Stokes equations that describe general compressible gas flow. In order to describe violent motion of free surface, volume-of-fluid method is utilized. The role of air compressibility is presented by the comparative study of water impact load obtained from two different air models, i.e. the compressible and incompressible air. For both cases, water is considered as incompressible media. Compressible air model shows oscillatory behavior of pressure on the solid surface that may attribute to the air-cushion effect. Incompressible air model showed no such oscillatory behavior in the pressure history. This study also showed that the CFD simulation can capture the formation of air pockets enclosed by water and solid surface, which may be the location where the air compressibility effect is dominant.

The motion of a projectile initiated by the release of highly pressurized air is simulated presuming the flow field as a two dimensional one. The effects of water compressibility on projectile movements are investigated, comparing results based on the Fluent VOF model where water is treated as an incompressible medium with those from the presently developed VOF scheme. The present model considers compressibility of both air and water. The Fluent results show that the body moves farther and at higher speeds than the present ones. As time proceeds, the relative difference of speed and displacement between the two results drops substantially, after acoustic waves in water traverse and return the full length of the tube several times. To estimate instantaneous accelerations, however, requires implementation of the water compressibility effect as discrepancies between them do not decrease even after several pressure wave cycles.

Few investigations of bread dough compressibility have been reported in the literature, despite the fact that high compression stresses are often reached in processing. Here we report some experiments on the compressibility of an Australian wheat bread dough under compressive stresses up to 5 MPa, and show that the results are consistent with a mathematical model of bread dough containing entrained air. The implications for tensile testing are also considered.

Pressure oscillation caused by the compressibility of entrapped air in dam break flow is analyzed using an open source code, which is a two-phase compressible code for non-isothermal immiscible fluids. Since compressible flows are computed based on a pressure-based method, the code can handle the equation of state of barotropic fluid, which is virtually incompressible. The computed time variation of pressure is compared with other experimental and computational results. The present result shows good agreements with other results until the air is entrapped. As the entrapped air bubbles pulsate, pressure oscillations are predicted and the pressure oscillations damp out quickly. Although the compressibility parameter of water has been varied for a wide range, it has no effects on the computed results, because the present equation of state for water is so close to that of incompressible fluid. Grid independency test for computed time variation of pressure shows that all results predict similar period of pressure oscillation and quick damping out of the oscillation, even though the amplitude of pressure oscillation is sensitive to the velocity field at the moment of the entrapping. It is observed that as pressure inside the entrapped air changes quickly, the pressure field in the neighboring water adjusts instantly, because the sound of speed is much higher in water. It is confirmed that the period of pressure oscillation is dominated by the added mass of neighboring water. It is found that the temperature oscillation of the entrapped air is critical to the quick damping out of the oscillations, due to the fact that the time averaged temperature inside the entrapped air is higher than that of surrounding water, which is almost constant.

The objective of this study is to analyze the compressibility effects of multiphase cavitating flow during the water-entry process. For this purpose, the water-entry of a projectile at transonic speed is investigated computationally. A temperature-adjusted Tait equation is used to describe the compressibility effects in water, and air and vapor are treated as ideal gases. First, the computational methodology is validated by comparing the simulation results with the experimental measurements of drag coefficient and the theoretical results of cavity shape. Second, based on the computational methodology, the hydrodynamic characteristics of flow are investigated. After analyzing the cavitating flow in compressible and incompressible fluids, the characteristics under compressible conditions are focused upon. The results show that the compressibility effects play a significant role in the development of cavitation and the pressure inside the cavity. More specifically, the drag coefficient and cavity size tend to be larger in the compressible case than those in the incompressible case. Furthermore, the influence of entry velocities on the hydrodynamic characteristics is investigated to provide an insight into the compressibility effects on cavitating flow. The results show that the drag coefficient and the impact pressure vary with the entry velocity, and the prediction formulas for drag coefficient and impact pressure are established respectively in the present study.

공기가 차 있는 백이 물에 부분적으로 잠겨서 동요할 때, 유체역학적 문제의 정식화가 Lee(1992)에 의해서 이루어졌으며, 선형항에 대한 계산방법이 주어졌다. 그러나 그의 정식화과정에서는 백내의 압력을 일정하다고 가정하여 공기의 압축성 효과가 무시되었다. 본 논문에서는 공기의 압축성을 고려하여 이 문제를 다시 정식화하였다. 이때 공기의 압축과정은 정역학 문제시에는 등온과정, 동역학 문제시에는 단열과정으로 가정하였다. 또한 정역학 계산시 문제가 되었던 평형상태의 안정성이 다루어졌다. 수치계산을 통하여 강체의 경우, 일정 압력, 변동 압력의 경우에 대한 비교검토가 이루어졌다.

Effect of calendering on structural and surface properties of sheets made of various pulp was investigated. BKP, BCTMP and KOCC were used as raw materials for handsheets and sheets were calendered at the different calendering temperature and pressure conditions. Caliper, air permeability, and PPS roughness were reduced by calendering, but their effects were a little different depending on pulp type and calendering condition. Increase of density with increase of calendering Pressure was remarkable on sheet made of BCTMP or KOCC, and the effect of temperature was more significant than pressure. PPS roughness of sheet made of BCTMP or KOCC was reduced by calendering, but BKP sheet showed little reduction of roughness at higher calendering pressure. The compressibility of sheet increased logarithmetically with calendering pressure and surface compressibility of KOCC sheet was relatively higher than other pulps.

오일러나 Navier-Stokes방정식을 통한 터빈 캐스케이드 유동 해석은 비교적 정확한 해를 구할 수 있으나 많은 계산 시간을 필요로 한다. 비점성, 비압축성 유동에 적용이 가능한 패널법은 빠르고 합리적인 유동 정보를 얻을수 있지만 고속 유동의 경우 압축성 보정이 반드시 이뤄져야한다. 본 논문에서는 압축성이 보정된 패널법을 이용하여 터빈 블레이드 표면의 속도 분포를 계산하였다. 그 결과, 압축성이 보정된 패널법의 결과는 실험이나 유한 체적법에 의해 계산된 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

A developed code based on the unified conservation laws of incompressible/compressible fluids is applied to analyze similarity in pressure oscillations caused by pulsating air pockets in sloshing tanks. It is shown that the nondimensional time histories of pressure show good agreements under Froude and geometric similarities, provided that there are no pulsating entrapped air pockets. However, the nondimesional period of pressure oscillation due to the pulsating air pocket becomes longer as the size of the sloshing tank increases. The discrepancy in the nondimensional period is attributed to the compressibility bias of the entrapped air. To get rid of the compressibility bias, the ullage pressure in a sloshing tank is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number. The variation in the period of pressure oscillation according to the ullage pressure is explained based on the spring-mass system. It is shown that the nondimensional period of pressure oscillation is virtually constant when the ullage pressure is adjusted based on the Bagnold's impact number, regardless of tank size. It is found that the Bagold's impact number should be the same, if the time history of pressure is important while an entrapped air pocket pulsates.
