In this study, in order to examine the applicability of computational fluid dynamics with the porous model to the analysis of APR+ (Advanced Power Reactor Plus) internal flow, simulation was conducted with the commercial multi-purpose computational fluid dynamics software, ANSYS CFX V.14. In addition, among the various reactor internals, the effect of flow skirt geometry on reactor internal flow was investigated. It was concluded that the porous model for some reactor internal structures could adequately predict the hydraulic characteristics inside the reactor in a qualitative manner. If sufficient computation resource is available, the predicted core inlet flow distribution is expected to be more accurate, by considering the real geometry of the internal structures, especially located in the upstream of the core inlet. Finally, depending on the shape of the flow skirt, the flow distribution was somewhat different locally. The standard deviation of the mass flow rate (${\sigma}$) for the original shape of flow skirt was smaller, than that for the modified shape of flow skirt. This means that the original shape of the flow skirt may give a more uniform distribution of mass flow rate at the core inlet plane, which may be more desirable for the core cooling.

In order to analyze the heat transfer phenomena in the plasma flames, a mathematical model describing heat and fluid How in an electric arc has been developed and used to predict heat transfer from the arc to the steel bath in a DC Electric Arc Furnace. The arc model takes the separate contributions to the heat transfer from each involved mechanism into account, i.e. radiation, convection and energy transported by electrons. The finite volume method and a SIMPLE algorithm are used for solving the governing MHD equations, i.e., conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy together with the equations describing a standard $k-\varepsilon$ model for turbulence. The model predicts heat transfer for different currents and arc lengths. Finally these calculation results can be used as a useful insight into plasma phenomena of the industrial-scale electric arc furnace. from these results, it can be concluded that higher arc current and longer arc length give high heat transfer.

The arc model takes the separate contributions to the heat transfer from each involved mechanism onto account, that is radiation, convection and energy transported by electrons. The finite volume method and a SIMPLE algorithm are used for solving the governing MHD equations, that are conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy together with the equations describing a standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model for turbulence. The model predicts heat transfer for different currents and arc lengths. Finally these calculation results can be used as a useful insight into plasma phenomena of the industrial-scale electric arc furnace.

Jet pumps are used in a great number of engineering applications. In the present study, jet shapes, mixing chamber shapes, and numerical methods for predicting the performance of an annular-type jet pump are investigated to determine the optimal turbulence model. The flow fields are simulated by solving the momentum and the continuity equations with the standard ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ and the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ turbulence models at different Reynolds numbers. After that, they are compared with the corresponding experimental data to determine the optimal model. Next, various calculations are conducted to find an optimal shape using the selected turbulence model. The study shows us that the RNG ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ model predicts the performance more exactly, and also shows that the most effective performance can be achieved with $12^{\circ}$ reducing angle and 130mm throat length.

In this paper, a multiple sliding surface (MSS) controller for a twin rotor multi-input-multioutput system (TRMS) with mismatched model uncertainties is proposed. The nonlinear terms in the model are regarded as model uncertainties, which do not satisfy the standard matching condition, and an MSS control technique is adopted to overcome them. In order to control the position of the TRMS, the system dynamics are pseudo-decomposed into horizontal and vertical subsystems, and two MSSs are separately designed for each subsystem. The stability of the TRMS with the proposed controller is guaranteed by the Lyapunov stability theory. Some simulation results are given to verify the proposed scheme, and the real time performances of the TRMS with the MSS controller show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

건물부분의 온실가스 감축을 위하여 2002년 정부는 녹색건축인증제도(G-SEED Certification)를 도입하였다. 그러나 정부의 각종 활성화정책에도 불구하고 공동주택부분의 인증건수는 전체 공동주택 사업승인건수의 1% 내외에 불과한 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 정부의 정책은 대부분 공급자를 대상으로 하고 있으며, 정책개선 방안에 대한 연구도 대부분 공급자를 중심으로 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 하지만 주택시장은 시장의 참여자인 수요자와 공급자의 상호영향을 통해 작동되기 때문에 한쪽에 치우친 시각이 아닌 그들의 포괄적인 관계과 동태성을 고려해야할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 녹색건축인증 공동주택시장을 수요자와 공급자의 의사결정을 토대로 분석하여, 시스템다이내믹스 연구 모델을 작성한다. 그리고 해당 모델에서 현재 시행중인 정부의 인증 활성화정책이 어떻게 작용하는지 살펴봄으로써 그 실효성을 분석하고자 한다. 이를 통해 향후 녹색건축인증제도의 활성화 정책 방향제시를 위한 기초를 마련할 수 있을 것이라 기대할 수 있다.

A marine flapped rudder is designed to improve the effective lift generated by the rudder; this also improves the maneuverability of the ship. The flap is a high lift device installed at the trailing edge of the rudder to augment lift. In this paper, the characteristics of a thick flapped rudder are analyzed at a low Reynolds number with various ratios of flap chord length to total chord length and various aspect ratios, based on the computational fluid dynamics technique. The performance of the rudder with respect to lift, drag, and center of pressure are investigated, and the efficient ratio of flap chord length to total chord length and improved aspect ratio are determined. Ed: highlight - or 'superior'. As a case study, the flow on the flapped rudder of an NACA0021 section shape in free stream condition is simulated. The standard k-epsilon turbulence model is used to model the flow around the flapped rudder. The results indicate that the efficient ratio of the flap chord length to total chord length and aspect ratio are 0.3 and 1.4, respectively.

Accumulation of coal ash at the boiler wall reduces combustion and fuel efficiency. The design of a wall blower is important to effectively remove coal ash. We present numerical results for the removal of coal ash from boiler walls of domestic coal-fired power plants, associated with the computational fluid dynamics for the flow from spray nozzle to boiler wall. The numerical model simulates an erosion process in which the multiphase fluid comprising saturated vapor and fluid water is sprayed from the nozzle, and the water particles impact the boiler wall. We adopt the Finnie erosion model for water particles. We obtain the erosion rate density as a function of nozzle angle and its injection angle. As excessive coal ash removal usually induces damage to the boiler wall, the removal operation typically focuses on a large area with uniform depth rather than the maximum removal of coal ash at a specific location. In order to estimate the removal performance of the wall blower nozzle considering several functionality and reliability factors, we evaluate the optimal injection and nozzle angles with respect to the biggest cumulative and highest erosion rates, as well as the widest range and lowest standard deviation of the erosion rate distribution.

In industrial field, there are several operations where a horizontal unidirectional airflow is used to control airborne contaminants. When a worker is immersed in a uniform freestream, a recirculating airflow can be created downstream of the worker by the phenomenon of boundary layer seperation. If the contaminant source and the breathing zone are within this near-wake region, high exposure may occur. The investigation for the effect of contaminant source location on worker exposure was performed by using CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). The airflow field was numerically calculated by assuming a steady flow and using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. As the results were compared with experimental data, the applicability of CFD was successfully verified. Subsequently, the breathing zone concentrations of the worker were predicted and compared with experimental data. The effects of contaminant density and turbulence intensity of freestream on worker exposure were evaluated.

Wall functions have been widely used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and can save significant computational costs compared to other near-wall flow treatment strategies. However, most of the existing wall functions were based on the asymptotic characteristics of near-wall flow quantities, which are inapplicable in complex and non-equilibrium flows. A modified wall function is thus derived in this study based on flow over a plate at zero-pressure gradient, instead of on the basis of asymptotic formulations. Turbulent kinetic energy generation ($G_P$), dissipation rate (${\varepsilon}$) and shear stress (${\tau}_{\omega}$) are composed together as the near-wall expressions. Performances of the modified wall function combined with the nonlinear realizable k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are investigated in homogeneous equilibrium atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) and flow around a 6 m cube. The computational results and associated comparisons to available full-scale measurements show a clear improvement over the standard wall function, especially in reproducing the boundary layer flow. It is demonstrated through the two case studies that the modified wall function is indeed adaptive and can yield accurate prediction results, in spite of its simplicity.
