Wind load is one of the major design loads for the hull and mooring of offshore floating structures, especially due to much larger windage area above water than under water. By virtue of extreme design philosophy, fully turbulent flow assumption can be justified and the hydrodynamic characteristics of the flow remain almost constant which implies the wind load is less sensitive to the Reynolds number around the design wind speed than wind profile. In the perspective of meteorology, wind profile used for wind load estimation is a part of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), especially maritime ABL (MBL) and have been studied how to implement the profile without losing turbulence properties numerically by several researchers. In this study, the MBL is implemented using an open source CFD toolkit, OpenFOAM and extended to unstable ABL as well as neutral ABL referred to as NPD profile. The homogeneity of the wind profile along wind direction is examined, especially with NPD profile. The NPD profile was applied to a semi-submersible rig and estimated wind load was compared with the results from wind tunnel test.

In this study, a generalized three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) analytical model is formulated to predict linear aerodynamic instabilities of a prism under quasi-steady (QS) conditions. The prism is assumed to possess a generic cross-section exposed to turbulent wind flow. The 3-DoFs encompass two orthogonal horizontal directions and rotation about the prism body axis. Inertial coupling is considered to account for the non-coincidence of the mass center and the rotation center. The aerodynamic force coefficients-drag, lift, and moment-depend on the Reynolds number based on relative flow velocity, angle of attack, and the angle between the wind and the cable. Aerodynamic forces are linearized with respect to the static equilibrium configuration and mean wind velocity. Routh-Hurwitz and Liénard and Chipart criteria are used in the eigenvalue problem, yielding an analytical solution for instabilities in galloping and static divergence types. Additionally, the minimum structural damping and stiffness required to prevent these instabilities are numerically determined. The proposed 3-DoF instability model is subsequently applied to a conductor with ice accretion and a full-scale dry inclined cable. In comparison to existing models, the developed model demonstrates superior prediction accuracy for unstable regions compared with results in wind tunnel tests.

This work is to observe the wake flow generated behind a ramp. We have conducted a large eddy simulation with two ramp models having different heights with two different inflow conditions. Reynolds number based on the height of the large ramp (LR) and small ramp (SR) are Re_h = 2.8×10⁴ and 1.4×10⁴ respectively. The wake flow visualization shows the formation of streamwise counter-rotating vortices pairs at the downstream of the obstacle. These primary vortices are stretched and lifted up when moving downstream. In order to observe the effect of the inflow condition on the wake transition, two different inlet flow conditions are given on the inlet section as an inlet boundary condition. Induced counter-rotating vortices pairs due to sharp-edged triangular ramp obstacles are developed and propagated downstream. In the result, the large ramp shows a more complicated wake structure of the boundary layer than the small ramp.

In the present study, we investigated the velocity distribution, temperature distribution and condensation characteristics of steam jet issuing from four different orifice nozzles with a Reynolds number of approximately 79,000 using the phase Doppler particle analyzer system and a K-type thermocouple. The steam jet discharged from the orifice nozzle has a wider jet width compared to pipe nozzle because of the vena-contracta which can enhance the mixing of steam jet with the ambient air. Therefore, the orifice jet showed less condensation due to its wideness, resulting in small velocity decay rate and large temperature decay rate due to momentum conservation and decreased latent heat release compared to pipe nozzle, respectively. Also, the wider jet width of the orifice jet resulted in larger velocity and temperature spread rate compared to the pipe jet. In addition, the increase in the aspect ratio of the orifice jet led to more condensation and larger velocity spread rate and temperature spread rate due to both the vena-contracta and axis-switching effect, resulting in the increase of jet entrainment.

테일러 반응기에서 일어나는 유동의 변화를 전산유체역학을 이용하여 3차원 유동해석을 수행하였다. 테일러 유동은 레이놀즈 수의 증가에 따라 5개의 영역(순환 쿠에트 유동(CCF), 테일러 와류 유동(TVF), 물결 와류 유동(WVF), 변조 물결 와류 유동(MWVF), 난류 테일러 와류 유동(TTVF))으로 나뉘어지며, 각각의 영역에서의 유동 특성을 알아보았다. 각각의 영역에서 와류의 형상, 개수, 길이 등에 차이를 나타나며 바이패스 흐름에도 영향을 줌을 확인하였다. 그 결과 TVF, WVF, MWVF, TTVF 영역에서 테일러 와류가 발생하였다. 테일러 와류의 개수는 TVF 영역에서 가장 많으며 TTVF 영역에서 가장 적게 관찰되었다. 수치해석모델의 검증을 위하여 실험결과와 비교하였고, 실험결과 대비 해석결과가 잘 일치함을 나타내었다.

다상흐름 모델링 기법과 하이브리드 난류 모델링 기법을 결합한 수치모형을 이용하여 사각형 수로에서의 중력류를 수치모의 하였다. 이 연구에서 적용한 다상흐름 해석기법은 밀도가 큰 중력류 유체, 상대적으로 밀도가 작은 주변류 유체 그리고 자유수면 위에서 흐르는 공기를 3개의 상으로 처리하며, 각 상에 대해서 분리된 흐름 지배방정식을 적용한다. 난류흐름은 벽경계 근처에서는 RANS 모드로 모의하고 벽에서 떨어진 영역에서는 LES 모드로 해석하는 하이브리드 RANS/LES 방법의 일종인 IDDES 기법을 이용하여 해석한다. 이 연구에서 적용한 모델링 기법은 중력류의 머리의 전파속도를 실험값과 일치하게 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 수치해석 결과는 아울러 낮은 레이놀즈수 난류모형을 이용한 RANS 수치모의에서 이용되는 정도의 격자해상도에서도 큰 규모의 Kelvin-Helmholtz 형식의 경계면 와의 발달과 이들 와가 지속적으로 3차원 형식의 붕괴를 거쳐 작은 난류구조로 분해되면서 난류에너지가 소산되는 현상을 성공적으로 예측함을 보여준다. 적용한 수치모의 기법은 공학적으로 접근 가능한 격자해상도에서 돌출-쪼개짐 흐름 불안정을 동반한 중력류 머리부분의 3차원 거동 특성을 잘 재현하며, 이 결과는 보다 높은 격자해상도에서 구해진 LES 결과에 상응하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 하이브리드 난류모델링 기법과 다상흐름 해석기법을 병합한 수치모형이 자연상태에서 복잡한 중력류의 물리적 거동을 예측하는데 공학적으로 유망한 방법임을 보여준다.

The formation mechanism of the vortex streets in the lee of the mountain Is Investigated by a three-dimensional numerical model. The model is based upon the hydrostatic Boussinesq equations in which the vertical turbulent momentum flux is estimated by a turbulence parameterization scheme, but the horizontal viscosity is assumed to be constant. The results show that Karman vortex streets can form even without surface friction in a constant ambient flow with uniform stratification. The vortex formation is related to breaking of the mountain wave, which depends on the Froude number (Fr). In the case of a three-dimensional bell-shaped mountain, the wave breaking occurs when Fr is less than about 0.8, while a barman vortex forms when Fr is less than about 0.22. Vortex formation also depends on Reynolds number, which is estimated from the horizontal diffusivity. The vortex formation can be explained by the wave saturation theory given by Lindzen (1981) with some modification. Simulations in this study show that in the case of Karman vortex formation the momentum flux in the lower level is much larger than the saturated momentum flux, whereas it is almost equal to the saturated momentum at the upper levels as expected from the saturation theory. As a result, large flux divergence is produced in the lower layer, the mean flow is decelerated behind the mountain, and the horizontal wind shear forms between unmodified ambient wind. The momentum exchange between the mean flow and the mountain wave is produced by the turbulence within a breaking wave. From the result, well developed vortices like Karman vortex can be formed. . The results of the momentum budget calculated by the hydrostatic model are almost the same as nonhydrostatic results as long as horizontal scale of the mountain is 10 km. A well developed barman vortex similar to the hydrostatic one was simulated in the nonhydrostatic case. Therefore, we conclude that the hydrostatic assumption is adequate to investigate the origin of the Km8n vortex from the viewpoint of wave breaking.

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.
