보나 여수로와 같은 수공구조물의 주변에서 발생하는 흐름 거동은 구조물 모서리에서 발생하는 흐름분리(flow separation)와 이에 따른 전단층(shear layer)과 재순환(recirculation) 흐름 영역의 발달 그리고 분리된 흐름의 재부착(reattachment)이 특징이다. 공학적으로 난류의 해석에 있어서 이러한 흐름 거동들을 정확하게 예측하는 것은 수공구조물 설계에 있어서 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 흐름 분리와 재순환 영역의 발달 그리고 흐름 재부착을 포함하는 후방계단(backward-facing step) 흐름을 155,000의 레이놀즈수 조건에서 하이브리드 RANS/LES 모델을 적용하여 해석결과를 평가한다. 하이브리드 모델로는 벽에 인접한 격자의 해상도에 상대적으로 민감하지 않은 SST(shear-stress transport) 난류 모델을 이용하는 DES(detached-eddy simulation) 기법을 적용하였다. 계단 높이가 h인 계산영역은 흐름방향 길이가 34h, 높이는 계단 상류와 하류에서 각각 1h와 2h 그리고 폭은 $2{\pi}$이다. 계단은 상류단으로부터 10h 하류부 지점에 위치한다. 경계조건으로 상부와 하부 벽면에 대해서는 비활조건을 적용한다. 상류부 수로에서 완전 발달한 흐름을 재현하기 위해서 유입경계조건은 유입부 하류 $2{\pi}h$ 지점에서 계산된 유속과 난류량을 매핑(mapping)기법을 이용하여 반복적으로 적용한다. 총 3.1백만개와 7.3백만개의 셀로 계산영역을 구현한 두 개의 계산격자 그리고 약 3.1백만개의 셀을 이용했지만 벽면 근처에서의 격자 구성을 다른 방식으로 설정한 두 가지 격자를 이용하여 격자 해상도가 DES 수치해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 수치해석결과는 본 연구에서 상류단 조건으로 적용한 매핑기법이 대상 수로에서 완전 발달한 흐름을 잘 재현함을 보여주며, 합리적인 DES 해석 결과를 얻기 위해서는 벽에 수직한 방향으로 적절한 격자의 해상도와 분포가 필요함을 보여준다.

In this study, aerodynamic characteristics of Kline-Fogleman airfoils are numerically investigatied which has been widely used in remote control aircraft operating at low Reynolds numbers. The comparison of aerodynamic characteristics was conducted between NACA4415 and Kline-Fogleman airfoil based on NACA4415. ANSYS Fluent was employed with the incompressible assumption and $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model. It was found that lift coefficient was significantly enhanced in the range of Reynolds number from $3{\times}10^3$ to $3{\times}10^6$. Especially in the region of Reynolds number below $2.4{\times}10^5$, the lift-to-drag-ratio was improved by 26% using the Kline-Folgeman airfoil compared with NACA4415 airfoil.

The shock wave and boundary layer interaction patterns in an over-expanded rocket nozzle are associated with the production of undesirable side-forces during the start-up and shut-down processes of the engine. In the present work, a computational study is carried out to investigate the effect of the transient nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) on the flow fields inside the nozzle. The unsteady, compressible, axisymmetric, Navier-Stocks equations with SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model are solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR is varied from 2.0 to 10.0, in order to simulate the start-up and shut-down processes of the rocket engine. It is observed that the interaction patterns and the hysteresis phenomenon strongly depend on the time variation of NPR, leading to significantly different characteristics in the lateral forces.

Pneumatic levitation is based upon Bernoulli's principle. However, this method is known to require a large gas flow rate that can lead to an increase in the cost of products. In this case, the gas flow rate should be increased, and the compressible effects of the gas may be of practical importance. In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics method has been used to obtain insights into Bernoulli levitation flows. Three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations in combination with the SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The gas flow rate, workpiece diameter,and clearance gap between the workpiece and the circular cylinder were varied to investigate the flow characteristics inside. It is known that there is an optimal clearance gap for the lifting force and that increasing the supply gas flow rate results in a larger lifting force.

In this study, the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop was theoretically analyzed by changing longitudinal pitch, bump phase, location of vortex generator about the staggered tube banks by applying SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model of ANSYS FLUENT v.14. Before carrying out CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis, It is presumed that the boundary condition is the tube surface temperature of 363 K, the inlet air temperature of 313 K and the inlet air velocity of 5-10 m/s. The results indicated that the heat transfer coefficient is not affected by the longitudinal pitch and the bump phase of circle type was more appropriate than serrated type in the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop. Additionally, in case of vortex generator location, the heat transfer characteristics showed that forward location of tube was more favorable 4.6% than backward location.

Flow fields around a KARI-11-180 airfoil, SDM and transonic body are numerically simulated by using an unstructured meshes based compressible flow solver developed at KAIST. RANS equations are solved to analyse the flow fields and Roe's FDS method is adopted to evaluate convective fluxes. Turbulence effect of the flow fields is modeled by a SA model, SST model and ${\gamma}-{\widetilde{Re}}_{{\theta}t}$ model. It is found that smaller drag coefficients are predicted for the KARI-11-180 airfoil when a transition phenomenon is considered and small deviations exist between CFD and EFD results. For the SDM, flow separation is observed at a leading edge and calculated aerodynamic properties show similar tendencies to experimental results. A shock wave on main wings of the transonic body is successfully captured by the present flow solver at a Mach number 0.9. Estimated pressure profiles by means of the present CFD method also agree well with those of wind tunnel results.

A new film cooling method to protect the pylon injector from aerodynamic heating for a scramjet combustor is proposed and verified with numerical methods. The conditions for the Mach 8 flight at an altitude of 35km are considered. Air is considered as a coolant. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model are used. A downward injection of coolant from the top of the pylon gives higher cooling effects with less mass flow rate of coolant than the upward coolant injection from bottom of the pylon. Also, the downward injection shows little flow separation due to the favorable pressure gradient and does not disturb the flowfields near pylon injector, which results in reduction of pressure losses.

Incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $\varepsilon{-SST}$ turbulence model are adopted for the investigation of the flow fields between the square cylinder and the ground. When the grounds moves, the diminish of the shear layer intensity on the ground promotes the interaction between the lower and the upper separated shear layer of the cylinder. Hence vortex shedding occurs at the lower gap height than stationary ground. In the moving ground, the secondary shedding frequency disappears due to the absence of the separation bubble on the ground which exists in the stationary ground. In addition, the shedding frequency and aerodynamic coefficients in the moving ground become higher than those of the stationary ground.

The mixing characteristics of pylon injection in a Scramjet combustor and effects of film cooling to protect pylon from air-heating were investigated. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model were used. Fuel hydrogen and air were considered as coolants. There were remarkable improvements of penetration and mixing rate with the pylon injection. There was also over-heating on the front surface of the pylon without film cooling. The coolant injected parallel to the front surface of the pylon protects the pylon from over-heating.

In this study, fairing configurations for an aircraft are designed and the aerodynamic analyses of the fairings are performed to find the best choice for the aircraft. Fairings considered are wing-tip fairing and wing-body fairing. Wing alone analyses are done for the wing-tip faring selection, while wing-body-tail analyses are done for the wing-body fairing selection. A 3-D RANS solver with Menter's ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model are used for the aerodynamic analyses. The effects on the drag of the aircraft are examined by comparing the analysis results with and without the farings.
