  • Using two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the star formation rate (SFR) in turbulent, multiphase, galactic gaseous disks. Our simulation domain is axisymmetric, and local in the radial direction and global in the vertical direction. Our models include galactic rotation, vertical density stratification, self-gravity, radiative heating and cooling, and thermal conduction, but do not include spiral-arm features. Turbulence in our models is driven by momentum feedback from supernova explosion events occurring in localized dense regions formed by thermal and gravitational instabilities. Self-consistent radiative heating, representing enhanced/reduced FUV photons from the star formation, is also taken into account. By controlling three parameters (the gas surface density, the stellar disk density, and the angular rotation rate) that characterize local galactic disks, we explore how the SFR depends on the background environmental state. We also discuss the relation between the SFR and the gas surface density found in our numerical models in comparison with observations.

  • 3D simulations based on an impinging jet were carried out to investigate the flow field of a steady downburst and its effects on a high-rise building by applying the SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model. The vertical profile of radial wind speed obtained from the simulation was compared with experimental data and empirical models in order to validate the accuracy of the present numerical method. Then wind profiles and the influence of jet velocity and jet height were investigated. Focusing on a high-rise building, the flow structures around the building, pressure distributions on the building surfaces and aerodynamic forces were analyzed in order to enhance the understanding of wind load characteristics on a high-rise building immersed in a downburst.

  • A numerical simulation of plume from a stack into atmospheric cross flow is investigated using a two-dimension model. The simulation is based on the ${\kappa}{\sim}{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and a finite volume method. In this paper, it mostly researches how the wind velocity affects the flue gas diffusion from an 80 m high stack. Wind velocity is one of the most important factors for flue gas diffusion. The plume shape size, the injection height, the NO pollutant distribution and the concentration at the near ground are presented with two kinds of wind velocities, 1 m/s and 5 m/s. It is found that large wind velocity is better for flue gas diffusion, it generates less downwash. Although the rise height is lower, the pollutant dilutes faster and more sufficient.

  • Due to less turbulence and no land limitation, offshore wind energy gets more attention than onshore. Jacket structure is regarded as a suitable solution for the water depth ranging from 30 to 80 meters. In general, joint stress concentration of jacket support structures affects their fatigue life. Nowadays, most jacket structures for offshore wind turbines have tubular X-joint between legs. In this paper, a study on X-joint stress concentration of offshore wind turbine jacket structure is performed by using 50m water depth model. Stress of X-joint on offshore environmental conditions are discussed.

  • 측벽이 존재하는 개수로 난류흐름에 대한 DNS 자료를 이용하여 난류의 비등방성을 해석하였다. 측벽의 2등분선(sidewall bisector)에서 난류강도의 분포를 통해 바닥과 자유수면에서의 비등방성을 분석하고, AIM을 도입하여 흐름장 전반에 걸쳐 세부적인 비등방성 해석을 수행하였다. 측벽의 2등분선에서의 난류강도의 분포를 통해 바닥과 자유수면 근처에서 난류강도가 강한 비등방성을 갖는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 3개의 다른 영역에서 AIM의 도입을 통해 측벽이나 바닥근처에서는 난류의 비등방성이 구형 관수로 흐름과 유사한 것으로 나타났으나, 개수로 난류흐름의 주된 특성이 velocity-dip phenomena가 존재하는 영역에서는 구형 관수로 흐름과는 달리 천이영역이 존재한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • A wind tunnel test of a scaled-down model and field measurement were effective methods for elucidating the aerodynamic behavior of a chimney under a wind load. Therefore, the relationship between the results of the wind tunnel test and the field measurement had to be determined. Accordingly, the set-up and testing method in the wind tunnel had to be modified from the field measurement to simulate the real behavior of a chimney under the wind flow with a larger Reynolds number. It enabled the results of the wind tunnel tests to be correlated with the field measurement. The model surface roughness and different turbulence intensity flows were added to the test. The simulated results of the wind tunnel test agreed with the full-scale measurements in the mean surface pressure distribution behavior.

  • The turbine industry demands a reliable design with affordable cost. As technological advances begin to support turbines of huge sizes, and the increasing importance of wind turbines from day to day make design safety conditions more important. Wind turbines are exposed to environmental conditions that can affect their installation, durability, and operation. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61400-1 design load cases consist of analyses involving wind turbine operating conditions. This design load cases (DLC) is important for determining fatigue loads (i.e., forces and moments) that occur as a result of expected conditions throughout the life of the machine. With the help of FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence), an open source software, the NREL 5MW land base wind turbine model was used. IEC 61400-1 wind turbine design standard procedures assessed turbine behavior and fatigue damage to the tower base of dynamic loads in different design conditions. Real characteristic wind speed distribution and multi-directional effect specific to the site were taken into consideration. The effect of these conditions on the economic service life of the turbine has been studied.

  • 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템은 도금조와 같이 흡인해야 할 거리가 상대적으로 긴 경우에 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 창문이나 출입문을 통한 방해기류가 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 오염물질 제어효율을 심각하게 훼손시키고 있다고 추측하고 있으나 이에 대한 세부적인 연구가 부족한 상태에 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(Computational fluid dynamics)을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서의 방해기류의 방향과 세기가 흡인효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 평가해 보았다. 선형흡인효율(Linear capture efficiency) 방법을 이용하여 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템에서 가상의 개방조에서 발생한 오염물질이 푸쉬-풀 시스템에 의하여 포집되지 못하고 누출되는 구역이 어딘지를 찾아낼 수 있었다. 전산유체역학 컴퓨터시뮬레이션은 AIRPAK2.1 (FLUENT CODE) 소프트웨어를 사용하였다. 푸쉬-풀 후드시스템에 방해기류가 강하게 작용하면 상대적으로 강한 와류가 발생하는데, 일반적인 난류모델인 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$모델은 와류현상을 충분히 보여주지 못한 반면에 RNG 모델을 사용했을 때 실험결과를 적절히 모사해낼 수 있었다. RNG 모델을 이용하여 세가지 방향, 즉 푸쉬에서 풀 방향으로, 풀에서 푸쉬 방향으로 그리고 그에 수직되는 방향으로 방해기류가 있을 때의 푸쉬-풀 환기시스템의 흡인효율을 분석하였다. 방해기류가 0.25m/s이하일 때에는 흡인효율이 거의 떨어지지 않았으나, 방해기류가 0.6m/s에서 흡인효율이 40-70%로 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 방해기류를 감소시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서도 연구를 해야 되겠지만, 방해기류 존재 하에서 충분한 흡인 효율을 유지할 수 있는 푸쉬-풀 후드 설계기준에 대한 연구도 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

  • The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been used for degrading atmospheric pollutants. These devices induce the electrical forces to facilitate the removal of particulate pollutants. The ions travel from the high voltage electrode to the grounded electrode by Coulomb force induced by the electric field when a high voltage is applied between two electrodes. The ions collide with gas molecules and exchange momentum with each other thus inducing fluid motion, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow. In this study, for the simulation of electric field and EHD flow in ESPs, an open source EHD solver, "espFoam", has been developed using open source CFD toolbox, OpenFOAM(R) (Open Field Operation and Manipulation). The electric potential distribution and ionic space charge density distribution were obtained with the developed solver, and validated with experimental results in the literature. The comparison results showed good agreement. Turbulence model is also incorporated to simulate turbulent flow; hence the developed solver can analyze laminar and turbulent flow. In distributions of electric potential and space charge, the distributions become distorted and asymmetric as the flow velocity increases. The effect of electrical drift flow was investigated for different flow velocities and the secondary flow in a flow of low velocity is successfully predicted.

  • 명시적 액체-얼음상 미시물리 과정을 포함하는 구름 분해 모형(ARPS: Advanced Regional Prediction System)을 이용하여 2차원 그리고 주변 바람이 없는 경우에 뇌우 유출의 구조와 진화를 조사하였다. 고해상도 격자 간격(50m)을 이용하여 유출의 난류 구조를 명시적으로 분해하였다. 모사된 단세포 스톰과 스톰과 연관된 Kelvin-Helmholtz(KH) 빌로우(billow)는 발달, 성숙, 소멸의 생애 단계를 가졌다. 구름 역학과 미시물리 사이의 상호작용으로 야기된 이차 맥동과 대류 세포의 분활이 관측되었다. 상대적으로 건조한 하층 대기를 낙하하는 빗방울과 우박의 증발에 기인한 찬 하강류는 뇌우 찬 공기 유출을 야기시켰다. 유출 머리는 거의 일정한 속도로 이동하였다. KH 불안정에 의해 생성된 KH 빌로우는 유출 상부에서 난류 혼합을 야기하였으며 유출의 구조를 지배하였다. KH 빌로우는 유출 머리에서 생성되었고 돌풍 전선에 상대적으로 뒤쪽으로 이동함에 따라 성장하고 소멸하였다. 가장 빨리 성장하는 섭동의 수평 파장과 임계 시어층 깊이의 비 그리고 KH 빌로우의 수평 파장과 최대 진폭의 비에 대한 수치 모사 결과는 다른 연구 결과와 잘 일치하였다.
