Thermal striping is a complex thermal-hydraulic phenomenon caused by fluid temperature fluctuations that can also cause high-cycle thermal fatigue to the structural wall of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs). Numerical simulations using large-eddy simulation (LES) were performed to predict and evaluate the characteristics of the temperature fluctuations related to thermal striping in the upper internal structure (UIS) of the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). Specific monitoring points were established for the fluid region near the control rod driving mechanism (CRDM) guide tubes, CRDM guide tube walls, and UIS support plates, and the normalized mean and fluctuating temperatures were investigated at these points. It was found that the location of the maximum amplitude of the temperature fluctuations in the UIS was the lowest end of the inner wall of the CRDM guide tube, and the maximum value of the normalized fluctuating temperatures was 17.2%. The frequency of the maximum temperature fluctuation on the CRDM guide tube walls, which is an important factor in thermal striping, was also analyzed using the fast Fourier transform analysis. These results can be used for the structural integrity evaluation of the UIS in SFR.

In the present study, a forest fire spread was simulated with a three-dimensional, fully-transient, physics-based, computer simulation program. Physics-based fire simulation is based on the governing equations of fluid dynamics, combustion and heat transfer. The focus of the present study is to perform parametric study to simulate fire spread through flat and inclined wildland with vegetative fuels like trees or grass. The fire simulation was performed in the range of the wind speeds and degrees of inclination. From the results, the effect of the various parameters of the forest fire on the fire spread behavior was analyzed for the future use of the simulation in the prediction of fire behavior in the complex terrain.

Investigating Backward-Facing Step(BFS) flow is important in that it is a representative case for separation flows in various engineering flow systems. There have been a wide range of experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies to investigate the flow characteristics over BFS, such as flow separation, reattachment length and recirculation zone. However, most of such previous studies were concentrated only on the perpendicular step angle. In this study, several numerical investigations on the flow pattern over BFS with various step angles (10° ~ 90°) and expansion ratios (1.48, 2 and 3.27) under different Reynolds numbers (5000 ~ 64000) were carried out, mainly focused on the reattachment length. The numerical simulations were performed using an open source 3D CFD software, OpenFOAM, in which the velocity profiles and turbulence intensities are calculated by RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation) and 3D LES (Large Eddy Simulation) turbulence models. Overall, it shows a good agreement between simulations and the experimental data by Ruck and Makiola (1993). In comparison with the results obtained from RANS and 3D LES, it was shown that 3D LES model can capture much better and more details on the velocity profiles, turbulence intensities, and reattachment length behind the step for relatively low Reynolds number(Re < 11000) cases. However, the simulation results by both of RANS and 3D LES showed very good agreement with the experimental data for the high Reynolds number cases(Re > 11000). For Re > 11000, the reattachment length is no longer dependent on the Reynolds number, and it tends to be nearly constant for the step angles larger than 30°.) Based on the calibrated and validated numerical simulations, several additional numerical simulations were also conducted with higher Reynolds number and another expansion ratio which were not considered in the experiments by Ruck and Makiola (1993).

A numerical study is performed to investigate the interaction between subsonic axial turbine blade boundary layer and periodically oncoming rotor induced wakes. An implicit scheme for solving the compressible Navier-Stokes equation is developed, which adopts a 4th-order compact difference for spatial discretiztion, a 2nd order Crank-Nicolson scheme for temporal discretization and the dynamic eddy viscosity model as the subgrid scale model. The efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method are verified by applying to some benchmark problems such as laminar cylinder flow, laminar airfoil cascade flow and a transitional flat plate boundary layer flow. Computational results show good agreements with previous experimental and numerical results. Finally, flow through a stator cascade is simulated at $Re = 7.5{\times}10^5$ without free-stream turbulence intensity. The velocity fields and skin friction coefficients in the transitional region show similar trends with previous boundary layer natural transition.

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) 기반의 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) Version(5와 6)에 따른 아격자 난류 및 연소모델의 변화가 헵탄 풀화재의 평균 화염높이에 미치는 영향이 검토되었다. 화재시뮬레이션을 위한 열발생률은 동일한 조건에서 수행된 실험을 통해 제공되었으며, FDS Version에 따른 평균 화염높이의 예측성능은 기존 상관식과의 비교를 통해 평가되었다. FDS 5와 6에 각각 적용된 Smagorinsky 및 Deardorff 난류 모델은 평균 유동장, 화염형상 및 화염높이에 큰 영향을 주지 않는다. 그러나 평균 화염높이를 포함한 풀화재 특성 차이는 주로 FDS 5와 6에 각각 적용된 혼합분율 및 Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) 연소모델 차이로 인하여 발생됨을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 FDS 6에 비해 FDS 5는 상당히 긴 화염높이의 예측결과를 제공하며, 기존 상관식과 보다 일치하는 평균 화염높이 예측이 가능함을 확인하였다.

최근 폭증하는 해상물동량으로 인해 선박은 날로 대형화되며 현재 우리나라에서는 이러한 추이에 대응하기 위해 초대형 항만건설이 서둘러 진행되고 있으며 그 중 일부는 이미 부분적으로 완성되어 운영 중이거나 계속적인 확장이 예정되어있다. 초대형 항만의 경우 항 정온도 확보를 위해 대형 직립형 방파제가 수반되기 마련이나 비교적 높은 반사율로 인해 장주기의 파랑에 취약한 구조적 문제를 지닌다. 장주기 파랑의 효과적 제어를 위해 본 고에서는 아치형 curtain wall과 유수실로 구성된 된 장파 제어체 -Eco-breaker 2- 가 제시되며 Eco-breaker 2의 수리특성을 수치적으로 규명하였다. 수치모형은 가장 강건한 파랑모형인 Navier-Stokes Eq.과 SPH(Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), LES(Large Eddy Simulation) 기법에 기초하여 구성하였다. 수치모형의 검증을 위한 수리모형실험도 병행하였다. 수치모의 결과 Eco-breaker 2는 유수실 내부에 생성되어 아치형 curtain wall 전면 수역과 유수실을 주기적으로 넘나드는 대규모 구조적 와로 장파를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었다. 또한 대규모 구조적 와의 생성 영역과 세기는 내습하는 파랑의 주기에 종속하며 유수실 체류시간이 입사파 주기의 반을 하회하는 경우 반사계수는 최대 0.18까지 낮아진다. 이러한 결과는 Eco-breaker 2가 환경친화적 항의 개발에 적극적으로 활용될 수 있음을 시사하는 것으로 이를 위해 그 구체적 제원도 함께 제시하였다.

The computational flow analysis using LES technique was introduced to investigate the flow field improvement of an indoor RAC chassis consisting of a rear-guider, a stabilizer and a cross-flow fan. This unsteady three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out by the commercial SC/Tetra software. The edge blocks were adopted in this study as a tool for the flow field improvement of an indoor RAC. In view of the results so far achieved, the edge blocks cause the center of an eccentric vortex to be stable along all length of a cross-flow fan, and then, the static pressure and the velocity vector show a stable distributions. In consequence, because the edge blocks eliminate a reverse flow near the edges, an exhausting flow becomes to be stable and uniform.

Aeroacoustic computation of a fully-developed turbulent pipe flow at $Re_{\tau}=175$ and M = 0.1 is conducted by LES/LPCE hybrid method. The generation and propagation of acoustic waves are computed by solving the linearized perturbed compressible equations (LPCE), with acoustic source DP(x,t)/Dt attained by the incompressible large eddy simulation (LES). The computed acoustic power spectral density is closely compared with the wall shear-stress dipole source of a turbulent channel flow at $Re_{\tau}=175$. A constant decaying rate of the acoustic power spectrum, $f^{-8/5}$ is found to be related to the turbulent bursts of the correlated longitudinal structures such as hairpin vortex and their merged structures (or hairpin packets). The power spectra of the streamwise velocity fluctuations across the turbulent boundary layer indicate that the most intensive noise at ${\omega}^+$ < 0.1 is produced in the buffer layer with fluctuations of the longitudinal structures ($k_zR$ < 1.5).

The computational flow analysis using LES technique was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of a sirocco fan under the maximum flowrate condition. The commercial SC/Tetra software was used for this unsteady and three-dimensional numerical analysis. In consequence, because a flow is unstable within the range of about 50% of a housing depth from a bellmouth around the cutoff region, the passing flow through the blade cascade occurred on the X-Y plane is a slow or a reverse with approaching to the housing inlet. Also, the secondary flow shows on the radial plane of a housing, and its vortex center exists within about 33% of a housing depth from a bellmouth except the cutoff region. Moreover, the flow occurring on the exit plane of a sirocco fan shows a complex secondary flow.

이상화된 하이브리드 로켓모터 내부의 난류 유동 및 온도장의 발달과정을 대와류모사 기법을 사용하여 살펴보았다. 화학반응 및 밀도의 변화를 고려하지는 않았으나, 물리적으로 타당한 난류 입구조건과 22,500의 높은 Reynolds수 및 regression에 의한 벽면분출을 고려하여, 벽면근처에서 일어나는 난류유동의 시간 특성을 파악하였다. 하이브리드 모터 내부에서 발생한 혼합전단층의 불안정성에 기인한 특정 시간스케일(St~0.5)이 수동스칼라장에서 검출되지 않았다는 사실은 난류 온도장 해석에 난류 Prandtl 수를 상수로 가정하는 기존의 접근방식이 상당한 오차를 발생시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.
