본 연구에서는 간접흡입식 풍력선별기의 모델에 대하여 폐기물의 선별특성을 전산유체역학적인 방법으로 고찰하여 폐기물 모델에 대한 적정한 항력계수 및 흡입풍속에 대한 결과를 얻었다. 개발중인 풍력선별기는 송풍기를 설치하여 공기를 사이클론 후단에서 흡입하는 방식으로 선별 폐기물이 송풍기 회전차를 통과하지 않는 특징이 있으며, 흡입구의 특성 및 배관의 압력손실이 선별효율에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 풍력선별기를 이용한 폐기물을 선별하기 위해서는 폐기물의 공기역학적 특성에 대한 사전연구가 필수적이다. 비닐의 경우 약 0.8~1.0 내외의 항력계수를 적용하는 것이 타당하며, 캔은 압축여부에 따라 차이가 있으나 0.2~0.7의 범위에 있다. 풍력선별기의 흡입유속에 따른 선별효율은 약 25~26 m/s의 흡입유속에서 가장 높은 효율을 얻었다. 흡입구의 형상, 이송덕트의 배관방법에 따라 압력손실이 발생하여 흡입유속이 변화하므로 표준화를 통해 적절한 설계가 가능하도록 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.

유한체적법을 기반으로 나비에 스톡스 방정식을 비구조격자로 풀어 실린더 주위의 공력특성을 규명하였다. 보텍스, 속도, 압력, 잔차, 항력계수 등의 데이터를 가지고 분석하였고 레이놀즈 수는 50, 100이다. 유동특성은 Re>50에서 주기적으로 진동하는 소용돌이를 후류에 형성하며 이 현상은 이동하는 실린더에서도 유사한 현상을 보여 주었다. 지면효과는 실린더 위쪽에서 형성된 소용돌이가 벽면에 근접할수록 실린더의 후방으로 길게 늘어나는 형상을 보이고, 실린더와 근접벽면 사이의 유속이 정체되어 실린더와 벽면 사이의 간격이 0.6 에서는 근접 평판과 실린더 사이의 유동이 거의 끊겨짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 수치계산의 검증을 위하여 항력계수를 타 연구결과와 비교하였다.

Taipei 101 Tower, which has 101 stories with height of 508 m, is located in Taipei where typhoons and earthquakes commonly occur. It is currently the second tallest building in the world. Therefore, the dynamic performance of the super-tall building under strong wind actions requires particular attentions. In this study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) integrated with a new inflow turbulence generator and a new sub-grid scale (SGS) model was conducted to simulate the wind loads on the super-tall building. Three-dimensional finite element model of Taipei 101 Tower was established and used to evaluate the wind-induced responses of the high-rise structure based on the simulated wind forces. The numerical results were found to be consistent with those measured from a vibration monitoring system installed in the building. Furthermore, the equivalent static wind loads on the building, which were computed by the time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, respectively, were in satisfactory agreement with available wind tunnel testing results. It has been demonstrated through the validation studies that the numerical framework presented in this paper, including the recommended SGS model, the inflow turbulence generation technique and associated numerical treatments, is a useful tool for evaluation of the wind loads and wind-induced responses of tall buildings.

Natural gas hydrates are newly emerging as an environment-friendly source of energy to substitute for fossil fuels in the 21stcentury.NGHs are reported to holds much amounts of natural gas (up to 182 standard volumes of gas per volume of hydrate); they are easy to store and safe to carry at about minus 20 degree Celsius under atmospheric pressure because of the self-preservation phenomenon of gas hydrates. The transporting method by gas-ice-hydrate ship carriers has been introduced and developed by a variety of industry and research institutions. Our team has been conducted to develop NGH total systems, including a breakthrough NGH carrier for sea transportation, since 2011. The NGH pellet carrier does not require a separate cooling system for cargo, and the initial temperature is maintained through insulation of the cargo tanks throughout the transport to the final destination. The heat conducted from the exterior and passing through the insulation material of the hull should be cut off as much as possible, but heat inflow inside the cargo tank from an external source is inevitable during transport. In this study, the heat transfer in a cargo tank of a 115K NGH carrier was analyzed through simulation with a commercial CFD code to estimate the boil-off gas/boil-off rate on the developed carrier and understand major hazards that could significantly impact the safety of the vessel.

Catamaran has recently been a choice to support a typical vertical axis turbine in floating tidal current energy conversion system. However, motion responses associated with the catamaran can reduce the turbines efficiency. The possibility to overcome this problem isto change the catamaran parameter by varying and simulating the demi-hull separations to have lower motion responses. This simulation was undertaken by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) using potential flow analysis. Cases of demi-hull separation were considered, with ratios of demi-hull separation (S) to the breadth of demi-hull (B), ^S/_B of 3.45, 4.95, 6.45, 7.2 and 7.95. In order to compare to the previous works in the literature, the regular wave was set with wave height of 0.8 m. Furthermore, the analysis was carried out by irregular waves with significant wave height, H_s, of about 0.09 to 1.5 m and the wave period, T, of about 1.5 to 6 s or corresponding to the wave frequency, ω, of about 1.1 to 4.2 rad/s. The wave spectrum was derived from the equation of the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC). For the case of turbines-loaded catamaran under consideration, the new finding is that the least significant amplitude response can be satisfied at the ratio ^S/_B of 7.2. This study indicates that selecting a right choice of demi-hull separation ratio could contribute in reducing motion responses of the tidal current turbines-loaded catamaran.

Thunderstorm downbursts are responsible for numerous structural failures around the world. The wind characteristics in thunderstorm downbursts containing vortex rings differ with those in 'traditional' boundary layer winds (BLW). This paper initially performs an unsteady-state simulation of the flow structure in a downburst (modelled as a impinging jet with its diameter being $D_{jet}$) using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, and then analyses the pressure distribution on a solar updraft tower (SUT) in the downburst. The pressure field shows agreement with other previous studies. An additional pair of low-pressure region and high-pressure region is observed due to a second vortex ring, besides a foregoing pair caused by a primary vortex ring. The evolutions of pressure coefficients at five orientations of two representative heights of the SUT in the downburst with time are investigated. Results show that pressure distribution changes over a wide range when the vortices are close to the SUT. Furthermore, the fluctuations of external static pressure distribution for the SUT case 1 (i.e., radial distance from a location to jet center x=$D_{jet}$) with height are more intense due to the down striking of the vortex flow compared to those for the SUT case 2 (x=$2D_{jet}$). The static wind loads at heights z/H higher than 0.3 will be negligible when the vortex ring is far away from the SUT. The inverted wind load cases will occur when vortex is passing through the SUT except on the side faces. This can induce complex dynamic response of the SUT.

We used a numerical method to estimate the hydrodynamic maneuvering derivatives for the heave-pitch coupling motion of an underwater glider. It is very important to assess the hydrodynamic maneuvering characteristics of a specific hull form of an underwater glider in the initial design stages. Although model tests are the best way to obtain the derivatives, numerical methods such as the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method are used to save time and cost. The RANS method is widely used to estimate the maneuvering performance of surface-piercing marine vehicles, such as tankers and container ships. However, it is rarely applied to evaluate the maneuvering performance of underwater vehicles such as gliders. This paper presents numerical studies for typical experiments such as static drift and Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) to estimate the hydrodynamic maneuvering derivatives for a Ray-type Underwater Glider (RUG). A validation study was first performed on a manta-type Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV), and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results were compared with a model test that was conducted at the Circular Water Channel (CWC) in Korea Maritime and Ocean University. Two different RANS solvers were used (Star-CCM+ and OpenFOAM), and the results were compared. The RUG's derivatives with both static drift and dynamic PMM (pure heave and pure pitch) are presented.

Pressure relief valve (PRV) is one of the important control valves used in nuclear power plants, and its sealing performance is crucial to ensure the safety and function of the entire pressure system. For the sealing performance improving purpose, an explicit function that accounts for all design parameters and can accurately describe the relationship between the multi-design parameters and the seal performance is essential, which is also the challenge of the valve seal design and/or optimization work. On this basis, a surrogate model-based design optimization is carried out in this paper. To obtain the basic data required by the surrogate model, both the Finite Element Model (FEM) and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based numerical models were successively established, and thereby both the contact stresses of valve static sealing and dynamic impact (between valve disk and nozzle) could be predicted. With these basic data, the polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) surrogate model which can not only be used for inputs-outputs relationship construction, but also produce the sensitivity of different design parameters were developed. Based on the PCE surrogate model, a new design scheme was obtained after optimization, in which the valve sealing stress is increased by 24.42% while keeping the maximum impact stress lower than 90% of the material allowable stress. The result confirms the ability and feasibility of the method proposed in this paper, and should also be suitable for performance design optimizations of control valves with similar structures.

온도 성층화는 많은 저수지와 댐에서 흔히 발생하는 현상으로 호수나 저수지의 표면 온도가 바닥보다 상대적으로 높아 깊이에 따른 열 구배를 나타낸다. 이러한 온도 성층화 현상은 여름철과 같이 상부와 하부의 온도 차가 클수록 안정적이게 나타나며 이러한 층화 현상으로 수직 확산이 제어되어 수질에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 댐이나 호수 등 층화 현상이 심한 유체 내부 바닥에 물순환장치를 설치하여 외부로부터 공기를 끌어와 하부에서 공기를 분출하여 온도 성층을 약화시키기도 한다. 물순환 장치를 설비하면 수체의 혼합이 용이해지며 물질전달이 개선되어 수질이 향상된다. 국내의 경우 대청댐, 보령댐, 영주 댐 등 많은 국내 댐 내부에 물순환장치가 설비되어있다. 본 연구에서 댐의 물순환장치의 성능을 파악하기 위해 산기식 물순환 장비가 설치되어있는 영주댐을 연구 대상 지역으로 잡았다. 연구지역의 계절별 성층구조 및 특성을 조사하기 위해, 봄, 여름, 가을 영주댐에 방문하여 관측 자료를 취득하였으며 물순환 장치는 봄철의 경우만 가동하였다. 봄철의 물순환 장치 가동 전후 관측 데이터를 바탕으로 수치모형실험을 실행하여 관측 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 여름, 가을에 물순환장치를 가동하였을 경우 댐 내부 수체의 혼합과정을 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 OpenFOAM(version 4.0)에서 열 전달이 포함되어있는 비압축성 VOF 솔버를 사용하였다. 본 솔버는 물과 공기를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며 온도의 확산 방정식을 포함하고 있다. 또한 유동해석 수행 시 사용한 물순환장치의 효울은 실제 장치의 효율과 동일하다. 본 연구의 목표는 다음과 같다. (1) 관측만으로 파악하기 어려운 수체의 혼합거동을 유동해석 자료를 통해 면밀히 살펴보고 (2) 봄철 물순환 장치가 작동하기 전후 자료를 바탕으로 여름 및 가을철 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 유동해석 자료로 취득한다. (3) 또한 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 통해 계절별 혼합 효율을 취득한다.
