In the present study, a CFD/DSMC hybrid method performed by a coupled analysis between the CFD method and the DSMC method was developed to obtain the flow information on the rarefied gas flows effectively. Flow simulations around the high speed vehicles on the transition flow regimes were conducted by using the developed method. The FRESH-FX vehicle made of cone and cylinder shapes was considered for the simulations. The results of the hybrid method were compared with the results of the pure CFD and the pure DSMC method to confirm the reliability and efficiency of the hybrid method. It was found that the gradient and the intensity of the shock waves were weakened due to the relatively low density on the transition flow regime. It was confirmed that the results of the hybrid analysis were different to those of the pure CFD analysis and almost identical to those of the pure DSMC analysis. In addition, the computational time of the hybrid method was reduced than that of the pure DSMC method. As a result, it was obtained that the validity and the efficiency of the CFD/DSMC hybrid method.

CFD analysis is an analytical technique that applies a computer to the design and development of products across the entire industry for heat or fluid flow. This technology is used to shorten the development period and reduce costs through computerized simulation. However, the software used for CFD analysis is now required to use expensive foreign software. The Opensource CFD analysis software used in the proposed system has reliability of commercial CFD analysis software and has various user groups. However, for users who have expert knowledge, Opensource CFD software which supports only text interface environment, We have developed an environment that enables the construction of a CFD analysis environment for beginners as well as professionals. In addition, the proposed system supports the pre-processing (design and meshing) environment for CFD analysis and the environment for post-processing (result analysis & visualization), enabling the integrated CFD analysis process in one platform.

This study presents the feasibility of CFD(computational fluid dynamic) analysis using the flow angularity wind tunnel test technique. The CFD analyzed data by the flow angularity technique has been constructed as the database to get store trajectories by 6-DOF simulation. The database has been checked out store aerodynamic coefficients by the analyses at each position under wing. After that process, the simulated trajectories by database have been compared with the store trajectories by CTS(Captive Trajectory Simulation) of CFD. The trajectories provided by the database of flow angularity have a good agreement with the store trajectories by CFD.

본 연구에서는 BEMT와 gradient method를 이용하여 블레이드를 설계한 후 이에 대한 세밀한 유동장 해석을 위하여 CFD 기법을 적용하였다. CFD의 경우 해석시간의 문제로 설계단계에서의 적용에 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 설계 단계에서는BEMT를 적용하는 것이 적절하다. 그러나 BEMT의 경우 기법의 한계로 인하여 세밀한 유동의 해석에 어려움이 따른다. CFD의 경우 전체 유동장 및 블레이드 표면에서의 자세한 물성치 분석에 유리한 점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 두가지 해석 기법의 장점을 살려 설계단계에서는 BEMT를 적용후 결과물인 블레이드 형상에 대하여 CFD 해석을 수행하여 유동장 해석을 하였다.

this study, helicopter rotor flow is simulated by using a tightly coupled CFD/FreeWake method to describe wake characteristics and to calculate the flow field and rotor aerodynamics. In this tightly coupled CFD/FreeWake method, freewake model provides the boundary condition required in the CFD calculation and CFD provides the pressure distribution on blade surface used in feewake generation. To show the advantage of this method, the pressure distributions on blade surface of a hovering 2-bladed rotor are compared with other numerical methods. This tightly coupled CFD/FreeWake method shows good accuracy in the predicted results and efficient computation time.

The buoyancy and initial momentum fluxes make near-field dominated by buoyant jet when thermal discharge releases underwater. In order to estimate prediction capabilities of those near-field phenomena, non-hydrostatic RANS applied CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) model was used. Condition of model was composed based on past laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations carried out for the horizontal buoyant jet in the stagnant flow and vertical buoyant jet into crossflow. The results of simulation are compared with the terms of trajectory and dilution rate of laboratory experiments and analytic model(CorJET) results. CFD model showed a good agreement with them. CFD model can be appropriate for assessment of submerged thermal discharge effect because CFD model can resolve the limitations of near-field analytic model and far-field quasi 3D hydrodynamic model. The accuracy and capability of the CFD model is reviewed in this study. If the computational efficiency get improved, CFD model can be widely applied for simulation of transport and diffusion of submerged thermal discharge.

최근들어 전산유체역학(CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics)은 빌딩에 대하여 다양한 응용분야에서 사용된다. 이번 연구에서는 측정이 어려운 도심지 건물 군을 지나는 바람에 대하여 CFD해석 방법을 이용하여 고층 빌딩 상공을 지나가는 바람장을 예측 하였으며, 예측 된 결과를 실제 측정치와 비교 검증하였다. 바람장 측정 방법은 마스트를 세워서 측정하는 방법, 풍동 실험실에서 축소된 모형에 대한 실험방법, PIV 측정방법, LIDAR, SODAR측정 방법 등 많은 방법이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 가장 정확한 측정 방법인 LIDAR를 사용하여 측정을 수행하였다. 바람장이 측정된 장소는 서울 잠실 롯데 호텔 상공이며, 불어오는 바람은 롯데 월드를 중심으로 주변의 상가 건물들과 아파트 건물들 때문에 불안정하며 고르지 않을 것으로 예상되었다. LIDAR 측정은 일정 기간 동안 이루어 졌다. CFD해석은 임의의 시간대에 대해서 주 풍향에 대해서 해석이 수행되었다. CFD 해석결과는 최종적으로 측정 데이터와 비교 검증이 이루어 졌으며, 두 데이터간의 일치도가 높음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 XFOIL을 사용하여 설계된 30% 두께를 가지며 팁에서의 두께가 코드의 1.5%인 풍력터빈용 에어포일의 공력 특성을 해석하였다. 받음각에 따른 양력 항력 곡선 및 양항비를 XFOIL에서 얻어낸 결과와 EDISON_CFD 해석 결과를 상호 비교 하였다. EDISON_CFD에서의 해석을 위한 격자의 형태를 격자균일성을 생각하여 큰 타원과 작은 타원을 합쳐 만들었다. 수치 기법으로 Roe의 FDS를 선택하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 그 결과로 나타낸 압력계수와 양항비 그래프를 보면 선형 구간에서 양력은 XFOIL 해석 결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 항력에서 약1.5배 정도 EDISON_CFD의 결과가 크게 나옴으로써 양항비의 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 실속이후에서는 XFOIL의 신뢰도가 떨어지는 경향이 있어 특히 실속이후에서는 CFD의 해석결과가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

Computational fluid dynamics analysis was performed for the case 3 of the EFD-CFD workshop. Solvers were used for three commercial CFD codes(Star-CCM+, Fluent and CFX) and an open source CFD code(SU2). The grid were generated four types depending on the total cells using commercial grid generation code(Pointwise). Mach number of 0.4 and 0.8, 2 degree angle of attack and Mach number of 0.9, 1 degree angle of attack were calculated. Similar pressure coefficient curve and normal force coefficient were showed from the coarse grid to fine grid of four codes. But there is a difference in the drag coefficient. The position of the shock wave was predicted forward as the discretization order increased in calculations using Star-CCM+ and Fluent. The computation time to converge, Fluent, Star-CCM +, CFX are in order, and SU2 takes much time to converge.

The temperature of the flight objects in high speed increases due to the aerodynamic heating. MINIVER and CFD approach are used to predict the aerodynamic heating conditions of KSLV-I. MINIVER is based on the empirical method. And the CFD approach predicts the aerodynamic heating conditions after the analysis of the surface temperature and the surface heat flux directly. In this study, the aerodynamic heating conditions using CFD approach are considered. The PLF temperature for these aerodynamic heating conditions is compared with the flight test data of KSLV-I.
