This research investigates the internal flow and heat transfer in a plate heat exchanger with chevron shape by utilizing the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The basic unit of the plate heat exchanger is generally composed of a hot channel, an intermediate chevron plate, and a cold channel. Several studies have reported experimental and numerical simulation of heat transfer and pressure drop. This study focused on the detailed numerical simulation of flow and heat transfer in the complicated chevron shape channel. The long chevron plate was designed to include 16 chevron patterns. For proper mesh resolution, the number of cells was determined after the grid sensitivity test. The working fluid is water, and its properties are defined as a function of temperature. The Reynolds number ranges from 900 to 9,000 in the simulation. A realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and non-equilibrium wall function are properly considered for the turbulent flow. The friction factors and heat transfer coefficient are validated by comparing them with existing empirical correlations, and other patterned flow phenomena are also investigated.

The effects of the different rib geometries such as V-shaped continuous (case A), parallel broken (case B), and V-shaped broken (case C) ribs on the heat transfer and pressure drops in a divergent channel with $45^{\circ}$ inclined ribs on one wall or two walls are checked out. The top and bottom walls are adiabatic; two side walls are uniformly heated in the divergent rectangular channel. The tested Reynolds numbers are ranged from 22,000 to 75,000. The channel with two opposite walls inclined only has the length of test section of 1 m and the channel divergence ratio of $D_{ho}/D_{hi}=1.49$, corresponding to $1.43^{\circ}$ inclined walls. The results show in the identical pumping power that the V-shaped continuous rib (case A) with two ribbed walls is the greatest, but the parallel broken rib (case B) with one ribbed wall is the worst in the thermal performance.

To reduce the air side pressure drop in air-cooled heat exchanger, tow-in type winglet vortex generators are applied. A specially designed multiple-channel test core was used in the experiments for the various geometry of winglet vortex generators. The proposed tow-in type vortex generator gives significant separation delay, reduces form drag, and removes the zone of poor heat transfer from near-wake of the tubes. The results show the significant pressure drop reduction for the tow-in win91e1 vortex generators with the similar enhancement of the heat transfer as other vortex generator applications in heat exchanger. In the range of Reynolds number of 350 to 2100 the pressure drop decrease 8∼15% and 34∼55% for the in-line and staggered tube banks, respectively, compared to those without vortex generators.

최근의 실험 결과를 통해 하이브리드 로켓 연료의 표면에 연소가 진행되지 않은 채 남아있는 고립된 부분들이 존재함을 확인하였다. 이러한 불규칙적인 spot은 연료의 기화로 인한 분출유동(blowing velocity)과 산화제의 유동 사이에서 발생하는 경계층 교란에 의한 현상인 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 22,500의 높은 Reynolds수와 벽면분출 현상을 효과적으로 처리할 수 있도록 LES 기법을 이용하여, 연료 표면 근처의 난류 유동 및 열전달 특성을 해석하였다. 비록 원형 그레인 아닌 단순채널 형상을 고려하였으며 화학반응이 없는 경우의 난류유동을 해석하였으나, 연료 표면에서 발생하는 불규칙한 spot의 발생은 경계층과 분출되는 유동이 상호 간섭함으로써 난류구조들의 기구학적 특성을 변경시키기 때문인 것으로 추측되는 결과들을 얻을 수 있었다.

The flow structure behind circular and elliptical type rings embedded in a cross-flow was investigated experimentally using two-frame particle image velocimetry (PIV). The experiments were performed in a circulating water channel with a test section of 0.35m height ${\times}$ 0.3m width ${\times}$ 1.1m length. PIV measurements were carried out with varying the Reynolds number in the range of 4.5 ${\times}$ $10^2$ - 4.5 ${\times}$ $10^3$. In the present study, turbulent flow structures in the stream-wise direction and span-wise direction were investigated. The mean velocity field distribution was obtained by statistical-averaging instantaneous velocity fields. The spatial distributions of turbulent statistics such as turbulent intensities and turbulent kinetic energy were also investigated.

The measurements of heat transfer and total friction factors for turbulent flows in the convergent rectangular channels with two opposite in-line ribbed walls are reported. The study has covered three different angled ribs ($30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$) and Reynolds number in the range of 22,000 to 75,000. The channel, composing of ten isolated copper sections in the length of test section of 1 m, has the channel convergence ratio of $D_{ho}/D_{hi}=0.67$. The results show that the ribs pointing downstream (${\wedge}-shaped$) is somewhat greater than the ribs pointing upstream (V-shaped) in the dimensionless Nusselt number and total friction factors.

In this paper, two discretization methods, hybrid and QUICK, are tested for the Navier-Stokes equations written in general nonorthogonal body fitted coordinates. Comparison is made by calculating two laminar flows at low Reynolds numbers of 10 - 100. One is a two-dimensional channel of gradually expanding cross section and the other is an axisymmetric flow through a circular tube having a circular constriction. Results show that the QUICK scheme results in a numerical solution more accurate than that of hybrid. The QUICK scheme also shows faster convergence for both test cases. As the number of grid points increases, all numerical solutions converge with more oscillation. The number of grid points in the y-direction(cross stream direction) is also shown to play a significant role in the approximation of convection term within separated flow zone.

The flow pattern of air layers and skin-friction drag reduction by air injection are investigated to find the suitable multiphase flow model using unstructured finite-volume CFD solver for the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. In the present computations, two different multiphase flow modeling approaches, such as the Volume of Fluid (VOF) and the Eulerian Multi-Phase (EMP), are adopted to investigate their performances in resolving the two-phase flow pattern and in estimating the frictional drag reduction. First of all, the formation pattern of air layers generated by air injection through a circular opening on the bottom of a flat plate are investigated. These results are then compared with those of MMkiharju's experimental results. Subsequently, the quantitative ratios of skin-friction drag reduction including the behavior of air layers, within turbulent boundary layers in large scale and at high Reynolds number conditions, are investigated under the same conditions as the model test that has been conducted in the US Navy's William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel (LCC). From these results, it is found that both VOF and EMP models have similar capability and accuracy in capturing the topology of ventilated air cavities so called'air pockets and branches'. However, EMP model is more favorable in predicting quantitatively the percentage of frictional drag reduction by air injection.

30 MW 열출력을 갖는 다목적 연구용 원자로(KMRR)가 원자력연구소에선 개발되고 있다. 열수력 연구의 일환으로 길이 방향으로 핀이 달린 연료봉다발의 압력강하특성을 실험으로 연구하였다. 본 논문에서는 넓은 유량범위에서 적용할 수 있는 핀 연료봉다발에서의 압력강하 상관식의 도출과 압력강하에 미치는 핀 영향의 조사에 중점을 두었다. 도출된 KMRR 핵연료봉다발의 마찰계수 상관식을 원형관의 실험결과와 비교하였을 때 저유량 실험영역에서는 충류시의 해석값인 64/Re 보다 큰 값을 가졌으나 Re가 증가되면 Blasius 상관식보다 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다.
