During resin transfer molding(RTM) process, in case of thick parts, resin flow and void formation should be modeled three dimensionally even though for parts of small thickness, resin flow and void formation can be modeled two dimensionally. In this study, numerical simulations of three dimensional mold filling and void formation during RTM process.

Recently, there have been efforts to construct hybrids among the existing methodologies for multiphase flow such as VOF, Level Set, and Front Tracking with the intention of facilitating simulations of general three-dimensional problems. As one of the hybrid method, we have developed the Level Contour Reconstruction Method (LCRM) for general three-dimensional multiphase flows including phase change. The main idea was focused on simplicity and a robust algorithm especially for the three-dimensional case. It combines characteristics of both Front Tracking and Level Set methods. While retaining an explicitly tracked interface using interfacial elements, the calculation of a vector distance function plays a crucial role in the periodic reconstruction of the interface elements in the LCRM method to maintain excellent mass conservation and interface fidelity. In addition, compact curvature formulation is incorporated for the calculation of the surface tension force thereby reducing parasitic currents to a negligible level.

Three-dimensional graphic objects created by MATLAB are exported to the AUTOCAD program through the MATLAB handle functions. The imported SAT format files are used to produce the finite element mesh for MSC.PATRAN. Based on the Monte-Carlo random sample principle, the material heterogeneity of cement composites with randomly distributed fibers is described by the WEIBULL distribution function. In this paper, a concept called "soft region" including micro-defects, micro-voids, etc. is put forward for the simulation of crack propagation in fiber-reinforced cement composites. The performance of the numerical model is demonstrated by several examples involving crack initiation and growth in the composites under three-dimensional stress conditions: tensile loading; compressive loading and crack growth along a bimaterial interface.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of isothermal/nonisothermal coextrusion process of two immiscible polymers through a rectangular channel has been done using the finite element method. The encapsulation phenomenon with the less viscous layer encapsulating the more viscous layer was investigated with the generalized Newtonian fluids. The interface position around the symmetric plane obtained by numerical simulation nearly coincided with the one observed in experiments, but the degree of encapsulation was less than the one observed experimentally. Open boundary condition method was found to be applied to the simulation of nonisothermal coextrusion process, however, the results are not far from those using the fully developed boundary condition, because the temperature development along the downstream direction is very slow in the case of convection dominated flow. When the inlet velocity is increased, the interface profile does not change in isothermal flow, while it moves upward in nonisothermal situation. The degree of encapsulation decreases along the downstream direction in nonisothermal flow. When the inlet temperature increases compared to the wall temperature, the outlet interface moves downward and the degree of encapsulation increases. The difference of degree of encapsulation between the simulation and the experiments seems to arise from the viscoelastic effect of the materials. It was concluded that the nonisothermal effect alone does not explain the complex coextrusion process and the viscoelastic effect needs to be considered.

A three-dimensional numerical simulation is performed to investigate on a low Reynolds number mixed convection in a horizontal rectangular channel with the upper part cooled and the lower part heated uniformly. The three-dimensional governing equations are solved using a finite volume method. For convective term, the central differencing scheme is used and for the pressure correction, the PISO algorithm is used. Solutions are obtained for A=4, Pr=0.72, 10, 909, the Reynolds number ranging from $2.1{\times}10^{-2}$ to $1.2{\times}10^{-1}$, the Rayleigh number is $3.5{\times}10^4$. It is found that vortex roll structures of mixed convection in horizontal rectangular channel can be classified into three roll structures which affected by Prandtl number and Reynolds number.

A numerical study has been carried out for two- and three-dimensional buoyant turbulent flow in a stairwell model. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved with the authors'own computer program. Two models by the Boussinesq approximation and the density-gradient form are used for buoyancy terms in the governing equations. Two- and three-dimensional predictions of the velocity and temperature fields are presented and the results are compared with experimental data. Comparisons have also been made in detail with two-dimensional predictions. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations have predicted the overall features of the flow satisfactorily. A better agreement with experiment is achieved with three-dimensional simulations.

3차원 열동수역학 모형을 개발하여 지형학적으로 복잡한 자연 저수지에서 안정한 성층류의 선택 취수를 부정류 모의하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정확도의 유한체적법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 개발된 수치모형을 3차원 난류, 성층화된 전단층흐름에 적용하여 검정을 하였다. 수치해석결과는 실험실에서 관측된 선택취수시의 속도 및 온도분포의 일반적인 형상을 양호하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났으나, 자연 저수지에서의 흐름에 대한 적용시에는 속도의 크기를 과대모의 하는 것으로 나타났다. 수치모의에서 구해진 선택취수의 물리적 특성을 논하였다.

Flow around Savonius rotor is studied by means of the numerical simulation. Three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically. Overgrid system is employed in order to enable the flow calculation of complex geometry. The basic equations in each region are solved by using the standard MAC method. The physical quantities such as the velocity and the pressure among each region are transferred through the overlapping region which is common in each region. Some numerical results of static and rotating rotor will be presented.

Numerical simulation of viscous compressible flow in turbomachinery cascade involves many problems due to the complex geometry of blade but also flow phenomena. In the present study, numerical investigations have been performed to examine the three-dimensional flow characteristics inside the transonic linear turbine cascades using a commercial code, FLUENT. Multi-block H-type grids are applied to the high-turning turbine rotor blades and comparisons with the experimental data and the numerical results have been done. In addition, the effects of turbulence models on the prediction of the endwall flows are analyzed in the sense of the flow compressibility.

A three-dimensional numerical calculation has been performed to investigate mixed convective vortex flow in rectangular channels(width/height=4) with the upper part cooled and the lower part heated uniformly. In this study, the Prandtl number was 909, the Reynolds number was varied from 0 to $9.6{\times}10^{-2}$ and the Rayleigh number from $10^3$ to $5{\times}10^4$. The governing equations were discretized using the finite volume method. From a parametric study, velocity and temperature distributions were obtained and discussed. It is found that vortex flow of mixed convection in rectangular channels can be classified into three flow patterns which depend on Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, and the regular vortex structure disappears around Rayleigh number $5{\times}10^4$.
