In recent, shipping companies have made an enormous effort to improve the operation of vessel in various approaches, due to recession of shipping market and increasing competition among shipping companies. One of important parameters for improving the efficiency of vessel is the resistance performance that consist of friction and residual resistance. Especially, it is recognized that the friction resistance tends to be affected by conditions of vessel’s surface and occupies approximately 70~90% of the total resistance for slow speed ships. In general, the surface of vessel is covered with various type of paint to reduce fouling and corrosion. As time goes by, however, it is so hull roughness would be increased by fouling over the wetted surface that anti-fouling paints, such as CDP(Controlled Depletion Paint), Tin-Free SPC(Self Polishing Co-polymer) or Foul Release, are applied evenly on the hull surface. Nevertheless, these anti-fouling paints could not prevent fouling absolutely. A fundamental study on evaluating ship resistance performance variation due to hull roughness has been performed using a commercial software, Star-CCM+, which solves the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and viscous flow. The results of present simulation for plate are compared with some experimental data available and the effect of surface roughness to ship resistance performance is discussed.

This paper describes the performance of a centrifugal fan used for refuse collection systems according to the chord length of the splitters installed near the blade suction and pressure surface sides. The fan performance is analyzed by three-dimensional Navier.Stokes analysis and is compared to the results obtained experimentally. Throughout the numerical simulation of the fan with splitters, it is found that the reverse-flow region observed near the suction side of the blade can be reduced by installing a splitter. The fan performance is successfully improved by controlling the chord length of the splitter installed near the blade suction side. Under the designed flow condition, the efficiency and pressure of a fan with splitters increase by up to 4% and 18%, respectively, compared to the reference fan.

An integrated analysis of kerosine/LOX based KSR-III rocket body/plume flowfield has been performed. The analysis has been executed employing three kind of gas thermo-chemical models including calorically perfect gas, multiple species chemically reacting gas, and chemically frozen gas models and their effect on rocket flowfield has been accessed to provide the most appropriate gas thermo-chemical model which meets a specific purpose of performing rocket body and plume analysis. The finite-rate chemically reacting flow solution exhibited higher temperature throughout the flowfield than other gas models due to the increased combustion gas temperature caused by the chemical reactions within the nozzle. All the reactions were dominated only in the shear layer and behind the barrel shock reflection region where the gas temperature is high and the effect of finite-rate chemical reactions on the flowfield was found to be minor. However, the present plume computation including finite-rate chemical reactions revealed major reactions occurring in the plume and their reaction mechanisms and as well.

In the present work, wave transformation by vertical columns and its wave forces acting on them are discussed using a direct 3-D numerical model based on the VOF (Volume Of Fluid) method. The numerical results for wave transformations and wave forces are critically compared to an advanced experimental data, and provide the verification of the numerical model used in the present study. Overall model-data comparisons are good. After verification of the numerical model, it is used to simulate wave fields around dual vertical columns with arbitrary cross section, and the characteristics of nonlinear wave forces and wave transformations according to the variations of different cross section types of vertical columns, an interval of vertical columns and incident wave angle are discussed.

DES method is applied to an axisymmetric base flow at supersonic mainstream. The model is based on the Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) turbulence model in the RANS mode, and is based on the subgrid scale model in the Large-eddy simulation (LES) mode. Accurate predictions of the base flowfield and base pressure are successfully achieved by using the DES methodology which is less expensive than LES. Flow properties at the edge of base, such as boundary layer thickness, momentum thickness and skin fraction are compared with Dutton et al [experimental data to proper prediction of base flowfiled. From the present results, The DES accurately resolves the physics of unsteady turbulent motions, such as shear layer rollup, large-eddy motions in the downstream region and small eddy motions inside the recirculating region. Moreover, The present results of using an empirical constant $C_{DES}$ of 1.2 shows good agreement with experimental data than conventional empirical constant $C_{DES}$ of 0.65.

The hybrid numerical model is developed by combining BEM that can calculate the wave motion rapidly under the potential theory and CADMAS-SURF that solves Navier-Stokes equations for the free surface variation near the structure, In the hybrid model the calculation of wave motion in a wide field of wave reflection for deep water area is conducted by BEM but for shallow water area by CADMAS-SURF. Especially the hybrid model can calculate random wave motions for long term period more rapidly with almost similar accuracy than the calculation of wave motion which was carried out by CADMAS-SURF only. In this study the coupling model was applied to the calculation of the strong nonlinear wave motion such as wave runup and overtopping at the coastal structure on the mild-slope bottom and the results of numerical model were compared with the Toyosima's experiments of regular wave runup and Goda's design diagram of ramdom wave overtopping, respectively.

하천에서 하도불안정(stream instability)으로 인하여 하상의 형태가 변화하고 하상파(sand wave)가 발생한다. 사련(ripple), 사구(dune) 등과 같은 하상파는 흐름저항을 유발하여 홍수시 수위를 증가시킨다. 수리실험 및 수치모형을 이용하여 사련 및 사구의 발달과정 그리고 이를 지나는 난류흐름에 대한 연구가 국외에서는 이루어지고 있지만 국내의 경우 거의 찾아보기 힘들다. 수치모형을 활용한 연구는 주로 횡방향으로 하상파가 일정하다는 가정하에 연직 2차원 수치모형을 적용하였으나 최근 컴퓨터 기술 및 수치기법의 고도화로 3차원 RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) 또는 LES(Large eddy simulation)를 이용한 수치모형이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LES에 유사이송 및 하상변동 모형과 결합하여 사구발달에 대한 수치모의를 수행하였다. LES와 유사이송 및 하상변동 모형의 결합은 순간유속성분을 하상변동모형에 직접 적용되기 때문에 난류영향을 고려할 수 있는 것이 장점이다. 특히 사구의 발달에 따라 복잡한 흐름이 발생하며 3차원 와구조가 발생하므로 난류특성의 고려는 필수적이다. 수치모의는 Delft Hydraulics (Bakker et al., 1986)에서 수행한 수리실험 T39를 활용하였다. 수리실험은 길이 100 m, 폭 0.5 m 개수로에서 수행되었으며 평균유속은 0.611 m/s, 수심은 0.436 m이다. 하상파 실험에 사용된 유사입경은 0.78 mm 균일사를 사용하였다. 수치모의 조건은 수리실험과 동일하게 하였으나 계산시간의 효율을 고려하여 흐름방향의 계산영역은 4.0 m로 하고 주기경계조건(periodic boundary condition)을 부여하여 계산을 수행하였다. 수치모의 계산은 사구의 길이 및 파고가 평형상태에 이를 때까지 수행되었다. 수치모의 통해 사구발달에 따른 흐름 및 하상변동 특성을 분석하였다.

Industrial ejector system is a facility to transport, to compress or to pump out a low pressure secondary flow by using a high pressure primary flow. An advantage of the ejector system is in its geometrical simplicity, not having any moving part, compared with other fluid machinery. Most of the previous works have been performed experimentally and analytically. The obtained data. are too insufficient to improve our current understanding on the detailed flow field inside the ejector. In order to provide more comprehensive data on this ejector flow field, two-dimensional computations using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations were performed for a very wide range of operating pressure ratio of the supersonic ejector with a secondary throat. The current results showed that the supersonic ejector system has an optimum pressure ratio for the secondary flow total pressure to be minimized. The numerical results clearly revealed the shock system, shock/boundary layer interaction, and secondary flow entrainment inside the supersonic ejector.

Effects of cutting media on shooting and seedling characteristics were investigated to determine productivity of seedling by root cuttings of lacquer tree. Shoots developed at 3 weeks after cut planting on PV (peat moss : Vermiculite : 1 : 1), PVS (peat moss : Vermiculite : Sand : 1 : 1 : 2) and PVSC (peat moss : Vermiculite : Sand : Clay loam : 1 : 1 : 2 : 2) media, and shooting rate was the highest in PVSC medium at 10 weeks after cut planting among the treatments. Shooting numbers per scion on PH and PVC media were 2.2 but those on HSC medium was 1.3, which was not significantly different among media. PVSC medium was suitable to use the root cuttings of lacquer tree as it meets the qualifications requirements. Seedlings on PVSC medium were excellent to transplant in field as tree height, branch number, leaf number, stem diameter and leaf area were good.

In the present study, the model-scale Propeller Open Water (POW) tests for the propeller of 176K bulk carrier and 8600TEU container ship were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In order to solve the incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RaNS) equations were employed as the governing equations. The γ-Reθ(gamma-Re-theta) transition model combined with the SST k-ωturbulence model was introduced to describe the laminar-turbulence transition considering the low Reynolds number of model-scale. Firstly, the flow simulation developing over a flat plate was performed to verify the transition modeling, in which the wall shear stresses were compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, to investigate the effect of the model, the CFD simulation for the POW test was performed and the simulated propeller performance was validated through comparison with the experiment conducted at Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO).
