  • In the previous study, both the wave characteristics at the tip of composite breakwater and on caisson were investigated by applying olaFlow numerical model of three-dimensional regular waves. In this paper, the same numerical model and layout/shape of composite breakwater as applied the previous study under the action of one directional irregular waves were used to analyze two and three-dimensional spatial change of wave force including the impulsive breaking wave pressure applied to trunk of breakwater, the effect of rear region, and the occurrence of diffracted waves at the tip of caisson located on the high crested rubble mound. In addition, the frequency spectrum, mean significant wave height, mean horizontal velocity, and mean turbulent kinetic energy through the numerical analysis were studied. In conclusion, the larger wave pressure occurs at the front wall of caisson around the still water level than the original design conditions when it generates the shock-crushing wave pressure in three-dimensional analysis condition. Which was not occurred by two-dimensional analysis. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the wave pressure distribution at the caisson changes along the length of breakwater when the same significant incident wave was applied to the caisson. Although there is difference in magnitude, but its variation shows the similar tendency with the case of previous study.

  • A Computational Fluid Dynamics model is presented in this study for the simulation of the complex fluid flows with free surfaces inside the Tuned Liquid Column Dampers in horizontal motion. The characteristics of the fluid model of the TLCD in horizontal motion include the free surface of the multiphase flow and the horizontal moving frame. In this study, the time depend unsteady Standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model based on Navier-Stokes equations is chosen. The volume of fluid (VOF) method and sliding mesh technique are adopted to track the free surface of water inside the vertical columns of TLCD and treat the moving boundary of the walls of TLCD in horizontal motion. Several model solution parameters comprising different time steps, mesh sizes, convergence criteria and discretization schemes are examined to establish model parametric independency results. The simulation results are compared with the experimental data in the dimensionless amplitude of the water column in four different configured groups of TLCDs with four different orifice areas. The predicted natural frequencies and the head loss coefficient of TLCDs from CFD model are also compared with the experimental data. The predicted numerical results agree well with the available experimental data.

  • A two-dimensional depth-integrated hydrodynamic and a depth-averaged passive scalar transport models were developed by using a Compact Finite Volume Method (CFVM) which can assure a higher order accuracy. A typical wave current interaction experimental data set was compared with the computed results by the proposed CFVM model, and resonable agreements were observed from the comparisons. One and two dimensional scalar advection tests were conducted, and very close agreements were observed with very little numerical diffusion. Finally, a turbulent mixing simulation was done in an open channel flow, and a reasonable similarity with LES data was observed.

  • This paper describes computational efforts on the various energy and environmental problems using Patankar's SIMPLE method. The specific problems included in this study are : pollutant and flammable material dispersions in open and confined areas, aerator-induced flow in a lake for DO(dissolved oxygen) concentration, primary clarifier for water and waste water treatment, hood ventilation in workplace, cyclone and LNG combustors and Dow chlorination reactor. A control-volume based finite-difference method is employed together with the power-law scheme. The pressure-velocity coupling is resolved by the use of the revised version of SIMPLE, says SIMPLER and SIMPLEC. The Reynolds stresses are closed using the standard or the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ models. Turbulent reaction is modeled using two fast chemistry methods such as eddy breakup and conserved scalar models. Further, a nonequilibrium model is developed for the application of the chlorination process in the Dow reactor. Other important empirical models and physical insights appeared in this study are presented and discussed in a brief note. The computational method developed in this study is considered, in general, as a viable tool for the design and determination of the optimal condition of various engineering system of interest.

  • To evaluate the usage of $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence closure for the analysis of thermal discharge behavior, a two-dimensional depth-integrated numerical model is developed. The developed model is applied to a steady flow in an open channel with simle geometry and the numerical results agree well with existing experimental data. The adequate simulation of recirculation, reattachment, and excess temperature rise at downstream of the outlet in the channel attributes to the correct calculation of turbulent eddy viscosity and diffusivity by $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence model. For an accurate prediction of thermal discharge behavior, the introduction of buoyancy production term, the modification of source/sink, and the correct input of turbulence constants of the $\kappa-\imath$ turbulence model are required.

  • 개수로 흐름에 대한 연구는 1700년대 중엽 Chezy에 의해 이론적인 기초를 다졌으며, 광범위하고 조직적인 관측연구는 Darcy(1803-1858)에 의해 약 150년 전에 폭 2m, 길이 600m에 이르는 수로에서 실험관측을 수행하고자 시도하였다. Darcy의 동료이자 후계자인 Bazin은 제한된 조건의 현장관측뿐 아니라 다양한 조건의 수로를 제작하여 실험관측을 수행하였으며 그의 실험자료는 Bazin 자신 뿐만 아니라 Manning이나 Ganguillet와 Kutter 등 여러 연구자들의 경험식 개발에도 이용되었다. Nikuradse(1933)의 균일조도 원형관수로 실험결과로부터 관로 흐름은 층류, 천이층류, 완난류, 천이난류, 전난류 등 다섯 종류의 흐름특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였고 Bazin(1829-1917)과 varwick(1945)의 실험결과로부터 개수로 흐름에서도 관로 흐름과 마찬가지로 층류, 천이층류, 완난류, 천이난류, 전난류 등 다섯가지의 흐름특성이 존재함을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지수형 마찰계수 산정식에서 단순히 조고만의 함수였던 ${\alpha}$에 물의 기본적인 성질인 표면장력, 점성력, 밀도와 자연 하천의 경사, 수심, 수면, 폭, 조고의 영향을 고려한 수심에 관한 무차원수 $Y_h$, 수면 폭에 관한 무차원수 $Y_b$, 조고에 관한 무차원수 $Y_k$를 도입하였다. 따라서 개수로 흐름 해석에 있어서 기존의 마찰계수 산정치보다 여러 영향을 반영하여 정확한 값을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Hydraulic jump is typically designed to occur over low-haed dam spillways and weirs in the river. An important engineering application of the hydraulic jump is to dissipate the intense kinetic energy of the flows over such hydraulic structures. Turbulent flow and roller-like vortex riding up the free sureface of the jump cause most of the energy dissipation. We carry out a high resolution three-dimensional numerical simulations of a submerged hydraulic jump in a spillway and compare numerical results with a laboratory measurement obtained by the PIV. The numerical results further show the dynamic behavoirs of the inner and outer layers of the submerged wall-jet and the recirculating roller of the hydraulic jump.

  • 난류 수체에서 관성입자의 침강속도는 정지 수체에서보다 빠르고, 그 침강속도의 증가비율은 입자의 관성력과 난류의 길이 스케일에 큰 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다(Wang and Maxey, 1993; Yang and Shy, 2003; Wang et al., 2018). 본 연구에서는 개수로 흐름에서 난류의 영향을 받는 관성입자의 침강속도를 측정하고, 정지 상태의 침강속도에 대한 침강속도의 증가비율과 난류 인자의연관성에 대해 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 관성입자는 비중 1.35, 직경 300 ㎛에서 2000 ㎛까지의 구형 플라스틱(PE; polyethylene) 입자이며, 해당 입자들의 침강속도는 PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) 방식을 통해 측정하였다. 그리고 PIV(particle image velocimetry) 기법을 통해, 개수로 흐름의 난류 에너지 소산율(energy dissipation rate, ϵ)과 그에 따른 Kolomogorov 길이 스케일을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 모든 직경 조건에서 플라스틱 입자는 난류 흐름에서의 침강속도가 정지 수체에서의 침강속도보다 빠름을 보였으며, 그 비율은 입자 직경이 난류의 길이 스케일과 유사하거나 작아질 때 큰 폭으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 유체 내에서의 관성입자의 거동에 대한 이론식과 비교하여 관성입자의 침강에 미치는 여러 힘들의 상대적 관계를 파악하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 자연 수체에서 미세플라스틱의 거동을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • The purpose of this study is to estimate the sediment volume concentration of the liquified-solid mixture which is included fine sediment fractions, according to the variance of the channel slope and the water supply. The numerical model was performed by using the Finite Differential Element Method (FDM) based on the equation for the mass conservation, momentum conservation and the equation of coarse sediment an fine sediment. In comparison of varying the channel slope, the deeper the channel slope, the inflection point of the sediment concentration was occurred rapidly. In comparison of variance of the water supply, as the water supply increases fluctuation with high sediment concentration. In this situation, debris flow changes to the turbulent flow and the sediment becomes to be floated. In comparison varying the length paved saturated sediment, the longer the length, the high concentration of sediment occurred, for the safety of the slope it is needed to check the possibility of the erosion in the slope by debris flow. The results of this study will provide useful information in predicting of the disaster by the liquified-solid mixture and in prevention of the debris flow with various the slope in the mountain side.

  • A computer program is developed for the prediction of NO generation by the addition of water moisture and water electrolysis gas in LNG-fired turbulent reacting flow. This study is the first part to deal with the moisture effect on NO generation. In this study, parametric investigation has been made in order to see the reduction of thermal NO as a function of amount of moisture content in a LNG-fired flame together with the swirl and radiation effect. First of all, calculation results show that the flame separation together with the NO concentration separation are observed by the typical flow separation due to strong swirl flow. With a fixed amount of air, the increased amount of water moisture from 0 to 10% by 2% interval shows the decrease of NO concentration and flame temperature at exit are from $973^{\circ}C$ and 139 ppm to $852^{\circ}C$ and 71 ppm. The radiation effects on the generation on NO appears more dominant than swirl strength over the range employed in this study. However, for the strong swirl flow employed in this study, the flow separation cause the relatively high NO concentration observed near exit after peak concentration in the front side of the combustor.
