This study investigates the effectiveness of using a plasma actuator for active control of turbulent flow around a finite square cylinder. The primary objective is to analyze the impact of plasma actuators on flow separation and wake region characteristics, which are critical for reducing drag and suppressing vortex-induced vibrations. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) was employed to explore the flow dynamics at various operational parameters, including different actuation frequencies and voltages. The proposed methodology employs a neural network trained using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to determine optimal control policies for plasma actuators. This network is integrated with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for real-time control. Results indicate that this deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based strategy outperforms existing methods in controlling flow, demonstrating robustness and adaptability across various flow conditions, which highlights its potential for practical applications.

The turbulent flow with wake, reattachment and recirculation is a very important problem that is related to vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics. The Smagorinsky Model (SM), the Dynamics Subgrid Scale Model (DSM), and the Lagrangian Dynamic Subgrid Scale Model (LDSM) are used to predict the three-dimensional flow field around a bluff body model. The Reynolds number used is 45,000 based on the bulk velocity and the height of the bluff body. The fully developed turbulent flow, which is generated by the driver part, is used for the inlet boundary condition. The Convective boundary condition is imposed on the outlet boundary condition, and the Spalding wall function is used for the wall boundary condition. We compare the results of each model with the results of the PIV measurement. First of all, the LES predicts flow behavior better than the k-$\xi$ turbulence model. When ew compare various LES models, the DSM and the LDSM agree with the PIV experimental data better than the SM in the complex flow, with the separation and the reattachment at the upper front part of th bluff body. But in the rear part of the bluff body, the SM agrees with the PIV experimental results better than them. In this case, the SM predicts overall flow behavior better than the DSM nd the LDSM.

In the present study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, together with the equations of the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model of turbulence, were solved numerically in a general body-fitted coordinate system for three-dimensional turbulent flows around the six basic shapes of the magnetically levitated train(MAGLEV). The numerical computations were conducted on the MAGLEV model configurations to provide information on shapes of this type very near the elevated track at a constant Reynolds number of $1.48{\times}10^{6}$ based on the body length. The coordinate system was generated by numerically solving a set of Poisson equations. The convective transport equations were discretized using the finite-analytic scheme which employed analytic solutions of the locally-linearized equations. A time marching algorithm was employed to enable future extensions to be made to handle unsteady and fully-elliptic problems. The pressure-velocity coupling was treated with the SIMPLER-algorithm. Of particular interests were wall effect by the elevated track on the aerodynamic forces and flow characteristics of the six models calculated. The results indicated that the half-circle configuration with extended sides and with smooth curvature of sides was desirable because of the low aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. And it was found that the separation bubble was occured at wake region in near the elevated track.

본 연구에서는 부유식 플랫폼의 6자유도 방향으로의 주기 운동이 로터 공력 성능에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 부유식 해상 풍력터빈에 대한 공력 해석이 수행되었다. 수치 해석을 위해 블레이드 요소 운동량 방법을 이용하였으며, 유동 박리와 후류 영향에 의한 비정상 공력 효과를 포착하기 위해 인디셜 응답 방법에 기반한 동적 실속 모델을 이용하였다. 로터에 의해 유도되는 내리 흐름은 운동량 이론과 난류 후류 상태에 대한 경험적 모델을 연계하여 계산하였다. heave, sway, surge 방향으로의 병진 운동과 roll, pitch, yaw 방향으로의 회전 운동을 포함한 플랫폼 주기 운동을 고려하였으며, 각각의 모션은 사인함수 형태로 적용되었다. 수치해석을 위한 대상 풍력터빈으로는 NREL 5MW 풍력터빈이 사용되었다. 해석 결과로부터 세 방향 병진 운동 모드 중, surge 운동 시 로터 공력 변화가 상대적으로 크게 나타났으며, 회전 운동 모드의 경우, pitch 운동에 의해 로터 공력이 크게 변화됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
