Design optimization of a transonic compressor rotor (NASA rotor 37) using response surface method and three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis has been carried out in this work. Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was used in the flow analysis. Three design variables were selected to optimize the stacking line of the blade. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, adiabatic efficiency was successfully improved. Ana, it is found that the design process provides reliable design of a turbomachinery blade with reasonable computing time.

This paper presents the result of a computational study on the wake characteristics of two tanker models. i.e HSVA and DYNE hull forms. The focus of the study is on the distributions of axial. radial and tangential velocities of the two hull forms in way of the propeller, especially over the propeller disk. The effect of bilge vortices on the velocity distribution is also concerned. For the computation of stern and wake flows of the two hull forms. the incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations are numerically solved by the use of a second order finite difference method, which employs a four stage Runge-Kutta scheme with a residual averaging technique and the Baldwin-Lomax model. The calculated pressure distributions on the hull surface and the axial. radial and tangential velocity distributions over the propeller disk are presented for the two hull forms. Finally, the result of wake analysis for the computed wake distribution over the propeller disk is given in comparison with those for the experimental wake distribution for the both hull forms.

Vortex-shedding flows past a circular cylinder for 200≤ Re ≤ 5000 are numerically simulated with the PowerCFD code, using a finite volume method and an unstructured grid system, developed by the author. The simulation is peformed by solving the unsteady 2-D Wavier-Stokes equations with both no model and turbulence model. The resulting Reynolds number dependence of the Strouhal number and of the drag and lift coefficients is compared with both experiments and previous numerical results. It is found that, in the range of 200≤ Re ≤ 5000 the calculation method with a turbulence model is capable of producing reasonably more accurate results than that with no model for the main practically relevant parameters such as Strouhal number, drag and lift coefficients.

In this study, effects of thurster axis tilting angle on the thruster-hull interaction and propulsion performance in a dynamic positioning system of offshore plant are numerically investigated. Straight and 7-degree tilted downward thruster models as a form of ducted propeller are considered. For numerical simulations, Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations with SST turbulence model are solved by using STAR-CCM+. Results show that thruster-hull interaction is reduced in 7-degree tilted thruster model with lower vortex strength between thruster and hull bottom, although the propulsion performance does not have noticeable difference in a bollard condition.

With the power of supercomputers increasing exponentially, there is an insatiable need for more advanced multi-disciplinary aerospace CFD simulations. A particular current interest is the 3D viscous turbulent simulation of the highly nonlinear aspects of aero-icing. The applications of CFD in that field are literally light-years behind aerodynamics, with a significant number of users still mired in correlations, or 2D, inviscid, incompressible, and, yes, Panel Methods simulations! Thus, the disparity of tools between aerodynamics and icing departments within an organization leads to a disconnect that makes ice protection a downstream isolated process that is not an integral part of the aerodynamic behavior of an aerospace system (aircraft, rotorcraft, jet engine, UAV, etc.). While 3D RANS has been recently introduced, it is still considered computationally too demanding for industry when wide parametric studies for certification are required. In addition, not unlike the situation in aerodynamics say 20 years ago, naysayers are at every corner claiming that CFD is not reliable and is of limited use.

In this paper, viscous flow calculation of pump-jet that is used as underwater propulsor was made by using RANS equation. For the validation, calculation for DTRC4119 marine propeller was made and reasonable agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment. An unstructured overset mesh technique is used for analysis of relative motion between rotor and stator in pump-jet propulsor. Results for pump-jet propulsor were compared with computational results of another researcher.

The cavitating flow simulation is of practical importance for many engineering systems, such as marine propellers, pump impellers, nozzles, injectors, torpedoes, etc. The present work has developed a base code for simulating cavitating flows past cylinders and hydrofoils. The governing equation is the Navier-Stokes equation based on homogeneous mixture model. The momentum and energy equation is in the mixture phase while the continuity equation is solved in liquid and vapor phase, separately. The solver employs an implicit preconditioning algorithm in curvilinear coordinates. The computations have been carried out for the cylinders with spherical, 1- and 0-caliber forebody and hydrofoil of ALE and NACA cross-section and, then, compared with experiments and other numerical results. Fairly good agreements with experiments and numerical results have been achieved. The present base code has shown the feasibility to solve the cavitating flow past supercavitating torpedo after the improvement for compressibility effects and interactions with hot exhaust gas of propulsive rocket.

The computational fluid dynamic analysis has been conducted for the thermo-chemical flow field in an arcjet thruster with mono-propellant Hydrazine (N2H4) as a working fluid. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are modified to analyze compressible flows with the thermal radiation and electric field. The Maxwell equation, which is loosely coupled with the fluid dynamic equations through the Ohm heating and Lorentz forces, is adopted to analyze the electric field induced by the electric arc. The chemical reactions of Hydrazine were assumed to be infinitely fast due to the high temperature field inside the arcjet thruster. The chemical and the thermal radiation models for the nitrogen-hydrogen mixture and optically thick media respectively, were incorporated with the fluid dynamic equations. The results show that performance indices of the arcjet thruster with 1kW arc heating are improved by amount of 180% in thrust and 200% in specific impulse more than frozen flow. In addition to thermo-physical process inside the arcjet thruster is understood from the flow field results.

CFD calculations are carried out to investigate the turbulent flow characteristics inside the duct of marine waterjet propulsors. The Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite-volume method. Standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model are evaluated with an existing experimental data. Multi-block grid topology is adopted to describe the details of complex duct geometry. The present numerical methods are applied to the preliminary duct design of new waterjet propulsor system. Four different influx conditions are simulated to find out pressure and velocity distribution inside the intake duct. Attention is also paid upon the possible flow separation inside the waterjet duct. It is found that CFD tools can be used for the initial evaluation of inflow condition into the impeller of waterjet propulsor system.
