A numerical investigation of single phase heat and flow characteristics in circular tubes with a single set of spiral micro fins was performed with varying geometrical parameters like fin height, spiral angle, and number of fins. The properties of $40^{\circ}C$ water was used as a working fluid to simulate a condenser and the RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model was adopted. Calculation results were obtained in fully developed turbulent flow with constant surface heat flux boundary condition. Relative terms were introduced to investigate the substitution effect of conventional smooth tubes. The dimensionless terms were the heat transfer enhancement factor, the pressure drop penalty factor, and the efficiency index. Additionally, a numerical optimization was carried out to maximize thermal performance with the concept of the robust design. A statistical analysis showed that fin height interacts with number of fins and spiral angle.

This study proposes a CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis as a method of verification of the designed-data and a supplement of the insufficient experiences in geothermal system, which shows a rapid growth among the renewable energies. The followings are the results. FLUENT 6.2.12 is used as a CFD tool on this study, with the equations of continuity, motion, energy for unsteady flow through pipes and k-epsilon turbulent model. S-type model which has one borehole with diameter 12m by depth 206m and T-type model which has 3 boreholes with $12m{\times}20m{\times}206m$ are proposed, and also the boundary conditions are described. The temperature differences between temperatures by CFD analysis and by on-site measurement are less than 1.5%, this shows a high reliability of CFD analysis process which this study proposes. After 11 days simulation operated 12 hours interval On/Off mode, it is clearly predicted that the outlet temperatures of geothermal pipes are increased by $1.2^{\circ}C$, and $2.2^{\circ}C$ after 4 months. And the outlet temperatures of geothermal pipes increased with increase of the mass flow rates through the pipes. T-type model shows that the 4m distance between boreholes are reasonable because the temperatures at 2m and 6m from boreholes are nearly same.

The interaction of mixed convection and surface radiation in a printed circuit board(PCB) is investigated numerically. The electronic equipment is modeled by a two-dimensional channel with three hot blocks. In order to calculate the turbulent flow characteristics, the low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model which is proposed by Launder and Sharma is applied. The S-4 approximation is used to solve the radiative transfer equation. The effects of the Reynolds number and geometric configuration variation of PCB on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed. As the results of this study, it is found that the thermal boundary layer occured at adiabatic wall in case with thermal radiation included, and the effect of radiation is also found to be insignificant for high Reynolds numbers. It is found, as well, that the heat transfer increases as the Reynolds number and block space increase and the channel height decreases and the heat transfer of vertical channel is greater than that of horizontal channel.

Numerical study is presented for the analysis of three-dimensional incompressible turbulent flows in multiblade centrifugal fan. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k - $\epsilon$ turbulence model are transformed to non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. The computational area is divided into three blocks; core, impeller and scroll, which are linked by multi-block method. The flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow, and mathematical formula established from the cascade theory and empirical coefficient are employed to simulate tile flow through the impeller. From comparisons between the computational results and the experimental data, the validity of the mathematical formula for the blade forces was examined and good results were obtained qualitatively. Hence, we can get the flow characteristics of multi-blade centrifugal fan and it will be a corner stone of the development of the multiblade centrifugal fan.

The optimum condition is defined as one that best suits the purpose of flocculation; the number of small particles should decrease, while that of large particles should increase. The object of this research was to develop a new impeller and substitute for conventional flocculators. The flow characteristics of turbines and hydrofoil type flocculators in turbulent fluids were observed using a standard $k-{\epsilon}$ Model and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation program-FLUENT. The experiments were performed to compare PBT(Pitched Blade Turbine) flocculator with twisted hydrofoil type flocculators for velocity distribution, and floe formation at conventional water treatment plants in Korea. As a result of the CED solution, twisted hydrofoil types are similar to hydrofoil flocculators for flow characteristics without regard to the twisted angle, On the other hand, it was established that turbine flocculators are greater than hydrofoil flocculators with flow unevenness and dead zone formation. Twisted hydrofoil type-II (Angle $15{\sim}20^{\circ}$) is the most proper impeller for water flocculation from this point of view with a decreasing the dead zone, maintaining of the equivalent energy distribution and a drawing up of the sedimentation substance from the bottom of the flocculation basin.

Numerical analysis using three dimensional finite volume method for the discretization, adaptive grid method for the numerical accuracy, multiple rotating frame method for the rotating body and the standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model for the turbulent flow was performed to understand the heat transfer phenomena and to improve the efficiency of the scroll compressor. The temperature measurement was carried out under ARI condition. It was found that the fluid temperature in the compressor was predicted accurately while the temperature of the motor coil showed large discrepancy between the calculation and experiment due to the large anisotropy of the conductivity and non homogeneity. We found that the efficiency of the compressor depends on the inlet temperature of the compressing part and the flow pattern around the inlet region of the compressing part influences the inlet temperature due to high surface temperature of the main frame. The efficiency of the compressor using Coanda effect is higher than the previous one because the smooth suction at the inlet region of the compressing part leads to low heat transfer to the refrigerant of the compressor.

본 연구에서는 압력형 경계조건을 취급할 수 있도록, 속도 경계조건만을 취급 하는 전형적인 프로그램을 수정하여 실제 상황에 가까운 실내 공간 내부의 유동장을 예측하였다. 이때 난류 흐름방식의 강제 대류를 해석하기 위한 지배방정식으로서는 저레이놀즈수 K-.epsilon. 난류 모델을 도입하였다. 실내로 유입되는 공기의 영향을 받는 유동장이 예측된 후에는 실내에 존재하는 오염원의 갯수를 변화시키면서 실내 공간 에서의 오염 물질 분포를 수치적으로 계산하였다. 본 연구에서의 실내공간은 2차원 이라 가정하였으며 유동은 정상유동이라 간주하였다. 또한 실내 공간을 채우는 공기 량에 비하여 오염 물질의 양은 그 질량비가 0.1% 이하로서 상대적으로 아주적으므로, 오염된 공기의 밀도는 오염되지 않은 공기의 밀도와 동일하다고 가정한다.

본 연구에서 수행한 큰 지름비를 가지는 동축제트 확산화염 연소기내의 등온 및 연소 유동장에 대한 수치해석 결고를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 큰 지름비를 가지는 동축제트 확산화염 연소기내의 등온 유동을 수치해석한 경우 k-.epsilon. 난유모델은 큰지름비를 갖는 기하학적 특성 때문에 C $O_{2}$와 공기의 유량비에 따라 나타나는 세가지 유동구조를 정성적으로 잘 예측하였다. 2) 공기의 유량이 고정되고 C $O_{2}$의 유량이 증가하는 등은 유동의 경우, 후방정체점은 실험치보다 훨씬 과도하게 예측되고 있으나, C $O_{2}$의 유량증가와는 거의 무관하게 나타나는 실험결과를 그대로 반영하였다. 그리고 C $O_{2}$으 유량증가에 거의 선형적으로 비례하는 전방정체점의 위치와 급격히 감소하는 재순환유동영역으로 갈수록 정량적인 불일치가 커지게 됨을 볼 수 있으며 이는 연료제트의 속도척도가 상대적으로 커지면서 연료제트가 공기의 재순환유동을 간헐적으로 뚫고 나가며 나타나는 용접유동구조에 의한 비정상성 때문으로 사료된다. 3) C $O_{2}$의 유량이 고정되고 공기의 유량이 증가하는 등온유동의 경우, 전방정체점의 변화에 대한 실험과 수치해석 결과와 정량적인 일치를 보이고 있으나 후방정체점은 실험치에 비해 과대예측되었다. 공기의 평균유입속도가 증가함에 따라 전방정체점의 위치가 입구쪽으로 옮겨가는 경향을 나타내고 있으며 공기의 유량이 증가함에 따라 공기에 이한 재순환영역의 강도와 공기의 최대역류속도가 커지므로 상대적으로 C $O_{2}$ 제트가 재순환 유동장을 관통할 수 있는 거리가 즐어드는 현상을 잘 예측하였다. 4) k-.epsilon. 난류모델과 수정된 eddy-breakup 연소모델을 사용하여 bulff-body 연소기내의 연소유동을 수소에 의한 열팽창효과를 포함시킨 경우 유동장과 온도장이 약간 더 하류족으로 팽창되는 영향이 나타났으며 본 연구의 수치결과만을 놓고 볼 때 열팽창효과와 Arrhenius 화학반응률을 고려한 경우가 실험치에 다소 근접한 결과를 나타내었다. 5) 수치결과와 실험의 불일치는 등방성 가정에 근거를 두는 k-.epsilon.난류모델이 갖는 한계, 중간생성물을 무시한 일단계 비가역반응모델을 사용한 난류 연소모델의 한계, 밀도변화를 가지는 유동장에서 일정한 Schmisr 수 가정의 적용한계, 그리고 불확실한 입구경계조건에 기인한다. bluff-body 연소기내의 난류연소유동장에 대한 예측능력을 향상시키기 위해서 추후 연구에서는 더욱 발전된 물리모델인 ASM 난류모델과 RSM 난류모델 그리고 joint PDF 연소모델과 coherent flamelet 모델등을 이용한 수치모델의 개발을 체계적으로 수행할 예정이다.

This paper shows numerical results for the estimation of the propulsor efficiency of Pre-Swirl Duct for 176k bulk carrier as well as its design method. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations have been solved and the k-epsilon model applied for the turbulent closure. The propeller rotating motion is determined using a sliding mesh technique. The design process is divided into each part of Pre-Swirl Duct, duct and Pre-Swirl Stator. The design of duct was performed first because it is located further upstream than Pre-Swirl Stator. The distribution of velocity through the duct was analyzed and applied for the design of Pre-Swirl Stator. The design variables of duct include duct angle, diameter, and chord length. Diameter, chord length, equivalent angle are considered when designing the Pre-Swirl Stator. Furthermore, a variable pitch angle stator is applied for the final model of Pre-Swirl Duct. The largest reduction rate of the delivered power in model scale is 7.6%. Streamlines, axial and tangential velocities under the condition that the Pre-Swirl Duct is installed were reviewed to verify its performance.
