This paper studies a nonpremixed turbulent flame in a model scramjet combustor using zonal hybrid RANS/LES method. The numerical domain is divided into two region, RANS and LES region. The interface between the two regions is treated with synthetic eddy method. A model scramjet combustor experimented at German aerospace center is selected for the comparative study. The fuel injection of cracked kerosene surrogate which is composed of ethylene and methane is considered. Turbulent combustion of cracked kerosene surrogate is achieved using flamelet approach.

When the systolic blood pressure is high, intermittent turbulence in blood flow appears in the aorta and carotid artery with stenosis during the systolic period. The turbulent blood flow is difficult to analyze using the Newtonian turbulence model due to the viscous characteristics of blood flow. As the shear rate is increased, the blood viscosity decreases by the viscoelastic properties of blood and a drag reduction phenomenon occurs in turbulent blood flow. Therefore, a new non-Newtonian turbulent model is required for viscoelastic fluid and hemodynamics. The main aims of this study were to develop a non-Newtonian turbulence model using the drag reduction phenomenon based on the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model for a general non-Newtonian fluid. This was validated with the experimental data and has a good tendency for non-Newtonian turbulent flow. In addition, the computation time and resources were lower than those of the low Reynolds number turbulent model. A modified turbulent model was used to analyze various turbulent blood flows.

Assessment and validation of RANS turbulence models are conducted for the optimal analysis of supersonic converging-diverging nozzle through the comparison between computational results and experimental data. One/two equation turbulence closures such as Spalart-Allmaras, RNG k-${\varepsilon}$, and k-${\omega}$ SST are employed to simulate the two-dimensional nozzle flow. Computational results with the turbulence models mentioned fairly well predict shock structure of the nozzle-inside and pressure distribution along the wall. Especially, SST model among the employed ones shows the best agreement to experimental results.

Dam-break flow occurs when an elevated dam suddenly collapses, resulting in the catastrophic release of rapid and uncontrolled impounded water. This study compares laminar and turbulent closure models for simulating three-dimensional dam-break flows using OpenFOAM. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model, specifically the k-ε model, is employed to capture turbulent dissipation. Two scenarios are evaluated based on a laboratory experiment and a modified multi-layered block obstacle scenario. Both models effectively represent dam-break flows, with the turbulent closure model reducing oscillations. However, excessive dissipation in turbulent models can underestimate water surface profiles. Improving numerical schemes and grid resolution enhances flow recreation, particularly near structures and during turbulence. Model stability is more significantly influenced by numerical schemes and grid refinement than the use of turbulence closure. The k-ε model's reliance on time-averaging processes poses challenges in representing dam-break profiles with pronounced discontinuities and unsteadiness. While simulating turbulence models requires extensive computational efforts, the performance improvement compared to laminar models is marginal. To achieve better representation, more advanced turbulence models like Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) are recommended, necessitating small spatial and time scales. This research provides insights into the applicability of different modeling approaches for simulating dam-break flows, emphasizing the importance of accurate representation near structures and during turbulence.

The present study has been motivated by the development of a reliable numerical methodology for simulation of kerosene/LOx coaxial swirl injectors. To deal with thermodynamic non-ideality and anomalies of transport properties pronounced at supercritical pressures, a set of subroutine libraries has been constructed based on the cubic equations of state, and applied to an existing flamelet analysis code. For computational efficiency, two-dimensional axisymmetric RANS formulation with swirl was adopted and validated successfully against an isothermal coaxial swirling jet. For the actual problem with high pressure combustion, however, numerical results show that the RANS models yield excessive production of turbulence probably due to high density gradient magnitude in the vicinity of mixing layer of swirling film flow, and imply strongly further improvement of the turbulence models.

Large eddy simulation (LES) is increasingly used as a tool for studying the dynamics of turbulence in combustion chamber flows due to the promise of wider generality and more accurate results compared to Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) models. This study presents the appropriate subgrid-scale(SGS) model in LES for predicting the turbulent flow field in the internal combustion engine. The study of the effects of model and numerical parameters such as discretization scheme, initial condition, time step and SGS model was performed. The results of LES using the SGS model were found to be in the good agreement with experimental data.

본 논문은 2차원 해면효과의 수치계산 결과를 정리하였다. 지면으로부터의 높이변화에 따른 점성유동장을 계산하기 위하여 지배방정식으로는 비압축성 RANS 방정식을, 시간에 대하여서는 음해법으로 프로그램을 구성하였다. 압력항은 가상압축성과 4차 수치확산항을 추가하는 것에 의해 계산하였으며, 높은 레이놀즈 수에서의 효과적인 계산을 위해 Baldwin- Lomax 난류모델을 도입하였다. 해면효과가 없는 무한유중에서의 NACA-0012 단면 계산결과를 실험 데이터와 비교하는 것에 의해 프로그램의 타당성을 확인하였다. NACA-6409와 두께 비 4.6%의 날개에 대하여 해면효과를 고려한 계산을 수행하였다. 계산결과, 높이의 변화에 따라 계산된 무차원계수, 압력 및 속도분포는 해면효과의 특성을 잘 보여주고 있다.

The flow characteristics and heat transfer augment on the periodically arranged semi-circular ribs in a rectangular channel for turbulent flow has been investigated numerically. The aspect ratio of the rectangular channel was AR=5, the rib height to hydraulic diameter ratio were 0.07 and rib height to channel height ratio was set as e/H=0.117 for various PR(rib pitch-to-rib height rate) between 8~14, respectively. The SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model and v2-f turbulence model were used to find out the heat transfer and the flow characteristics of near the wall which are suited to obtain realistic phenomena. The numerical analysis results show turbulent flow characteristics, heat transfer enhancement and friction factor as observed experimentally. The results predict that turbulent kinetic energy(k) is closely relative to the diffusion of recirculation flow. and v2-f turbulence model simulation results have a good agreement with experimental values.

제트류는 다양한 크기와 운동량의 에디가 복잡하게 혼합되어 이루어져 있으며, 이를 정확하게 모델링하고 이해하기 위해서는 제트류의 다양한 특성들을 잘 반영하여 연구를 수행해야 한다. 다양한 연구 수행 방법 중 수치해석 방법은 상대적으로 공간 및 시간적 비용이 적게 들어서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 수치해석 방법에는 DNS(Direct Numerical Simulation), LES(Large Eddy Simulation), RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes) 등이 있으며, 그중 LES는 난류 모델링을 사용하는 RANS 방법에 비해 더욱 정확한 흐름 모델링을 제공하는 장점이 있다. 이러한 LES는 대규모 에디는 직접 해석하면서, 일정 크기 이하의 에디는 모델링을 사용해 해석하는 것이 특징이다. 하지만, LES를 사용하기 위해서는 적절한 그리드 크기를 결정하는 것이 중요하며, 이는 모델의 정확성과 연산 비용에 큰 영향을 미친다. 하지만, 여전히 적절한 그리드 크기를 결정하는 것은 어려운 문제이다. 이러한 LES 모델링을 사용할 때 적절한 그리드 크기를 결정하기 위해서는 정확한 시간 평균 속도 변동을 연구하는 것이 앞서 선행되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기계학습 기반 접근 방식을 사용하여 난류 제트 내 시간 평균 속도 변동을 예측하는 연구를 진행하였다. 즉, 난류 제트 역학을 이해하는 데 중요한 파라미터인 시간 평균 유속을 이용하여 시간 평균 속도 변동을 예측하는 데 초점을 맞추었다. 모델의 성능은 평균 제곱 오차와 R-제곱 등 다양한 지표를 사용하여 평가되었다.
