A computational fluid dynamics simulation of pyrotechnic material combustion inside a cylindrical closed vessel was carried out using the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The 5th order upwind WENO scheme and the improved delayed detached eddy turbulence model were implemented to capture shock waves. The flow structure was analyzed inside the cylindrical vessel with a pressure sensor installed at the side wall center. The analysis revealed that the pressure oscillated because of the shock wave vibration. Additionally, the simulation results with four different sensor tab depths implied that, inside the sensor tab, eddies were generated by the excessively large gap between the sensor diaphragm and the side wall. These eddies caused irregularity to the measured time-pressure curve, which is an undesirable characteristic.

일반적으로 지진해일은 지진, 화산에 의한 융기 또는 침강에 따른 급작스러운 해저지각 운동에 의해 발생하며, 이에 따른 수위변동과 유체운동을 일컫는다. 그 밖에 해안/해저 산사태, 운석 낙하, 빙하 붕괴와 같이 암석, 토사, 얼음, 운석이 바다, 호수의 수면과 충돌하여 해일이 발생하기도 한다. 이 산사태 해일의 피해사례는 많지 않지만, 대부분 인명피해를 동반한다. 이에 과거부터 수리모형실험을 통해 산사태로 생성된 해일의 전파과정을 조사하는 연구들이 수행되었다. 최근에는 컴퓨터 성능향상과 다양한 수치모델이 개발됨에 따라 수치해석이 많이 수행되고 있다. 그러나 산사태 해일의 생성을 직접 모의하기 위해서는 유체-구조 상호작용(FSI; fluid-structure interaction)을 고려할 수 있는 전산유체역학(CFD; computational fluid dynamics)해석이 요구되는 관계로 활발한 연구가 진행되지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 FSI에 기초하여 충돌모의에 특화된 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 산사태 해일의 생성, 전파 그리고 직립벽(댐)에서의 처오름 및 파압 등을 검토한다. 그리고 낙하물의 형상, 낙하 높이에 따라 생성된 해일이 댐에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 또한, 이용하는 LS-DYNA 해석의 타당성 및 유효성을 확인하기 위하여 기존 수리모형실험에서 생성된 산사태 지진해일과 비교·검증한다. 수치해석 결과, 동일한 체적의 낙하물에서는 폭이 좁을수록 최대파고가 낙하물에 근접해 생성되었고, 폭이 넓을수록 파장이 길어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 낙하물의 낙하높이가 높을수록 산사태 지진해일의 파고가 크게 생성되었다. 낙하물로부터 600m 지점에서 설치한 댐에서의 산사태 지진해일의 처오름은 파고 및 파장이 클수록 증가하였다. 산사태 지진해일의 파압 역시 처오름에 상응하게 나타났다. 그러므로 호소에서 산사태 해일이 발생한다면, 댐 및 제방의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

There are around 7,500 manure tanks to treat the manures from pigs in Korea. In the tank, there are too much sediments deposited on the base and wall, which causes low efficiency of stock capacity and manure fermentation. In order to minimize sediments and to ferment manure effectively, we developed a 2-fluid jet mixer for mixing sediments in liquid livestock manure tank. For developing the prototype, we tested a factorial experimental system with various nozzles, and simulated CFD models with two kinds of nozzle arrangement. From the results of factorial experiment and CFD simulation, we concluded the dia. ratio of primary : secondary nozzle should be 1:2 and the nozzles should be arranged at the same distances toward to the circumferential direction. With this results, we manufactured a 2-fluid jet mixer which is consists of four 2-phase nozzles, centrifugal slurry pump and root's type air blower. And, we carried out the performance test of the prototype in the round shaped liquid manure tank in the farm. The performance test results showed that the uniformity of TS (Total Solid) and VS (Volatile Solid) was raised from 21.3 g/L, 13.3 g/L In steady state to TS and VS to 23.0 g/L, 14.1 g/L in the mixing operation. Therefore, we could conclude that the prototype of 2-fluid mixer could make the solid material which could be sediments in the tank not to be deposited in the tank and to be contacted to air bubbles which could enhance the efficiency of the fermentation of livestock manure.

Web based simulation service is utilized to computationally analyze various phenomena in real world according to the progress of network and computing technology. To provide suitable simulation service, web based simulation service will be improved by analyzing execution data. Especially, an API for data retrieval is designed, because every analyst needs different data. In this paper, we design the retrieval API for a user to analyze the web based simulation execution data, which is used on CFD (Cumputational Fluid Dynamics) and Chemistry. The designed retrieval API provides an simulation execution data depending on an user requirement such as a user type, an execution period, and an affiliation, which is based on the core information such as an user, a simulation program, and a cyberlab. Besides, a developer can provides a suitable information for a user to execute a simulation well such as a simulation statistics, an execution trend, and a frequent error.

Offshore structures for the gas production are exposed to the risk of gas leaks, and gas explosions can result in fatal damages to the primary structures as well as secondary structures. To minimize the damage from the critical accidents, the study of the dynamic response of structural members subjected to blast loads must be conducted. Furthermore, structural dynamic analysis has to be performed considering relationships between the natural frequency of structural members and time duration of the explosion loading because the explosion pressure tends to increase and dissipate within an extremely short time. In this paper, the numerical model based on time history data were proposed considering the negative phase pressure in which considerable negative phase pressures were observed in CFD analyses of gas explosions. The undamped single degree of freedom(SDOF) model was used to characterize the dynamic response under the blast loading. A blast wall of FPSO topside was considered as an essential structure in which the wall prevents explosion pressures from the process area to utility and working areas. From linear/nonlinear transient analyses using LS-DYNA, it was observed that dynamic responses of structures were influenced by significantly the negative time duration.

The gas explosions in offshore installations are known to be very severe according to its geometry and environmental conditions such as leak locations and wind directions, and a dynamic response of structures due to blast loads depends on the load profile. Therefore, a parametric study has to be conducted to investigate the effects of the dynamic response of structural members subjected to various types of load shapes. To do so, a series of CFD analyses was performed using a full-scale FPSO topside model including detail parts of pipes and equipments, and the time history data of the blast loads at monitor points and panels were obtained by the analyses. In this paper, we focus on a structural dynamic response subjected to blast loads changing the magnitude of positive/negative phase pressure and time duration. From the results of linear/nonlinear transient analyses using single degree of freedom(SDOF) and multi-degree-of freedom(MDOF) systems, it was observed that dynamic responses of structures were significantly influenced by the magnitude of positive and negative phase pressures and negative time duration.

According to the structure, solenoid valve can be categorized as spool valve or poppet valve. While various research on spool valve which has simple structure and fine susceptibility to contamination has been conducted, poppet valve which has less susceptibility to contamination and advantage in a long time operation still need much research because of its complicated structure. In order to design the poppet valve, various parameters such as the diameter of the poppet, the angle of the poppet, the diameter of the disk, the spring stiffness, the spring preload and flow path structure should be considered. Conventional studies on poppet valve usually take only one design parameters and did not much focused on the effect of the parameters on flow characteristics. In this paper, the change of the flow characteristics according to the design parameters of the poppet valve for 3/2Way solenoid valve is analyzed. The previous studies and the results of initial model analysis was referred for the selection of the design parameters. The effects of design parameters on maximum pressure, minimum pressure, and pressure drop was examined using analysis of means(ANOM).

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the flow velocity changes in the flow field due to the variation in the thickness of the upper part of the shroud tidal power generation system. In this study, it was performed under constant flow velocity condition. In addition, performance analysis of shroud was performed under the same conditions. As the height of the upper part increases, the flow velocity rate gradually increases, and it tends to decrease at a certain height. As a result of analyzing the shape of the blade and the shape of the blade combined with the shroud, the torque of the blade increased due to the increase of the flow rate by the shroud system. It is expected that the shape of the structure obtained by this study and the analysis of the flow velocity distribution in the flow field can provide the data necessary for the development of an efficient shroud tidal power generation system.

This study analyzed the effect on the cooling performance of the channel shape of a heat sink for an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). A serpentine channel was used for this analysis, and the parameter for the analysis was the number of curves. The analysis was conducted using computational fluid dynamics with the commercial software ANSYS fluent. One curve in the channel improved the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink by up to 8% compared to a straight-channel heat sink. However, two curves in the channel could not improve the heat discharge performance further. Instead, the two curves caused a higher pressure drop, which induces parasitic loss for the pumping of coolant. The pressure drop of the two-curve channel case was 2.48-2.55 times larger than that of a one-curve channel. This higher pressure drop decreased the heat discharge efficiency of the heat sink with two curves. The discharge heat per unit pressure drop was calculated, and the result of the straight heat sink was highest among the analyzed cases. This means that the heat discharge efficiency of the straight heat sink is the highest.

Overtopping Wave Energy Convertor (OWEC) is an offshore wave energy convertor for collecting the overtopping waves and converting the water pressure head into electric power through the hydro turbines installed in the vertical duct which is fixed in the sea bed. The numerical wave tank based on the commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent is established for the corresponding analysis. Several incident wave conditions and shape parameters of the overtopping device are calculated. The straight line type and parabolic type of the sloping arm are compared in the optimal designing investigation of the overtopping characteristics and discharge for OWEC device. The numerical results demonstrate that the parabolic sloping arm is available for wave running up and the overtopping discharge increasing.
