The flow characteristics of polluted air are analysed by comparing the results obtained from PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) experiment and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) commercial code. In order to simulate the polluted air flow, the olive oil has been used as tracer particles with the kinematic viscosity of air, $1.51{\times}10^{-5}m^2/s$. The investigation has done in the range of Reynolds numbers of 870, 1730 and 2890 due to the inlet flow velocities of 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0 m/s, respectively. The average velocity and the pressure distributions are comparatively discussed with respect to the three different Reynolds numbers. The results show that the outlet flow rates at three different Reynolds numbers are equivalent of 165 to 167 percent of the inlet ones. The pressure drop occurs in the model closed at both end sides and the highest pressures at each Reynolds number are positioned at the top of the tunnel between the inlet and outlet.

This paper describes a case study on the design factor analysis of vertical wind tunnel for skydiver's training or experiencing of paradropping exercise in the air. The case study of vertical wind tunnel design is to provide the knowledges on effects of parameter's variation when it is applied to overall or partial duct of tunnel circuit. The analysis of design parameters based on pressure loss are produced one by one through the tunnel components from the flight chamber because the wind tunnel must satisfy the requirement of flight chamber such as flow speed, quality and quantity. Results shows the various effects of parameter variation with pressure loss in the wind tunnel circuit. Pressure loss should be based on the determination of fan and power system which can be selected from market or new design.

The purpose of this study is to determine the wind pressure coefficients around prismatic structures with different aspect ratios. Air flows around a model of prismatic shape are investigated experimentally in the wind tunnel and simulated using finite volume method. Pressure distributions and the corresponding pressure coefficients are calculated from the experimental and numerical results. The effects of aspect ratios on the pressure coefficients are discussed extensively. The numerical results are compared with those of experiments. The simulated and experimental results for average wind pressure coefficients are considerably lower than those defined in the Korean Architectural Standard Code.

최근에는 세계 여러 나라에서 고속철도 건설에 대한 계획이 증가하고 있으며, 국내의 경우 수도권 광역 급행철도(GTX)와 같은 대심도 지하 교통망의 건설이 추진되고 있다. 열차가 고속으로 주행할 경우 발생하는 공기 저항을 최소화하기 위하여 열차의 선두부는 유선형으로 설계된다. 열차가 터널 내로 진입할 때, 터널 내에서 발생하는 공기 저항으로 인하여 열차 내 승객은 이명감과 같은 불편함을 느끼게 된다. 이러한 이명감을 감소시키기 위해서는 터널 내에서 발생하는 공기역학적 특성을 고려하여 터널의 단면적을 선정하여야 한다. 이 연구에서는 터널 내에서 열차의 고속 주행을 위해 필요한 공기 압력 제어 시스템이 이명감 감소에 미치는 효과를 분석하기 위하여 1차원 네트워크 모델링 프로그램인 THERMOTUN을 이용하여 공기압 분포에 대한 1차원 네트워크 수치해석을 수행하였다.

A numerical method for the assessment and correction of tunnel wall interference effects on forced-oscillation testing is presented. The method is based on the wall pressure signature method using computed wall pressure distributions. The wall pressure field is computed using unsteady three-dimensional full Navier-Stokes solver for a 70-degree pitching delta wing in a wind tunnel. Approximately-factorized alternate direction implicit (AF-ADI) scheme is advanced in time by solving block tri-diagonal matrices. The algebraic Baldwin-Lomax turbulence, model is included to simulate the turbulent flow effect. Also, dual time sub-iteration with, local, time stepping is implemented to improve the convergence. The computed wall pressure field is then imposed as boundary conditions for Euler re-simulation to obtain the interference flow field. The static computation shows good agreement with experiments. The dynamic computation demonstrates reasonable physical phenomena with a good convergence history. The effects of the tunnel wall in upwash and blockage are analyzed using the computed interference flow field for several reduced frequencies and amplitudes. The corrected results by pressure signature method agree well with the results of free air conditions.

Shield tunneling method is widely used to build tunnels in complex geological environment. Stability control of tunnel face is the key to the safety of projects. To improve the excavation efficiency or perform equipment maintenance, the excavation chamber sometimes is not fully filled with support medium, which can reduce the load and increase tunneling speed while easily lead to ground collapse. Due to the high risk of the face failure under non-fully support mode, the tunnel face stability should be carefully evaluated. Whether compressive air is required for compensation and how much air pressure should be provided need to be determined accurately. Based on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis, a non-fully support rotational failure model is developed in this study. The failure mechanism of the model is verified by numerical simulation. It shows that increasing the density of supporting medium could significantly improve the stability of tunnel face while the increase of tunnel diameter would be unfavorable for the face stability. The critical support ratio is used to evaluate the face failure under the nonfully support mode, which could be an important index to determine whether the specific unsupported height could be allowed during shield tunneling. To avoid of face failure under the non-fully support mode, several charts are provided for the assessment of compressed air pressure, which could help engineers to determine the required air pressure for face stability.

The nature of fluctuating air pressure inside building was studied by testing a building model in a wind tunnel. The model has a single room and a sin81e window opening. Various opening conditions were tested in both laminar uniform wind and turbulent boundary-layer wind. The RMS and the spectra of the fluctuating internal pressure were measured. The test results support a recent theory which predicts the behavior of internal pressure under high wind based on aerodynamic analysis.

In the present study, ventilation flow rates and pressure rises through a road tunnel are simulated numerically using CFD with the various conditions such as roughness height, swirl angle of jet fan, entrance and exit effect and hub to tip ratio. By using a modified wall function, friction factor can be predicted under 10％ of error with respect to the Moody chart for the circular pipe flow and 15％, for the present tunnel. For more precise design, the effects of the swirl angle and hub to tip ratio of jet fan, which is not included in the theoretical equation of pressure rise by jet fan are necessary to be considered.

수도권광역급행열차(GTX)가 대심도 지하터널을 180km/h로 운행하면, 작은 터널단면적으로 인해 터널 압력파에 의한 승객이명감이 문제될 것으로 예상된다. 이에 대한 대책으로 GTX의 적절한 기밀성능이 확보되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 1D 전산해석을 수행하여 객실 압력변동 기준을 만족하는 차량기밀도를 도출하였다. A라인 37km 지하터널과 해당구간의 영업운행 상황을 모사하여 차량내부 압력변동을 예측하였다. 전산해석결과 이명감 방지를 위한 차량의 기밀도 요구성능은 복선구간에서 3초 이상, 단선구간에서 6초 이상으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 GTX 차량 제작 시 차체기밀도 요구성능 결정을 위한 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The present study develops programs simulating the internal pressure change of cars due to the change of external pressure when trains run into or passing each other in a tunnel. A new continuous ventilating system control method has been developed in order to alleviate the aural discomfort of passengers riding a high speed train. This method is based on the change of the charged and discharged flow rate by detecting the air pressures generated outside and inside of the train. When the outside and inside pressure are detected, the speed of the charge or exhaust fans and also the valve opening ratios are changed. The elementary performance of the system is checked using dta of the TGV-K high speed train at a speed of 300km/h. Moreover, applicability of the system to the Koran high speed train at a speed of 350 km/h is ascertained by simulation and its effectiveness as a means to alleviate the ear pains is confirmed. This application of the system to the Korean high speed vehicles running in the speed range of 350km/h is considered to have good prospect.
