The flow around a circular cylinder advancing beneath the free surface is numerically investigated using a VOF method. The simulations cover Froude numbers in the range of 0.2~0.6 and gap ratios (h/d) in the range of 0.1~2.0, where h is the distance from the free surface to a cylinder, and d is the diameter of a cylinder at Reynolds number 180. It is observed that the vortex suppression effect and surface deformation increase as the gap ratio decreases or the Froude number increases. The most important results of the present study are as follows. The proximity of the free surface causes an initial increase in the Strouhal number and drag coefficient, and the maximum Strouhal number and drag coefficient occur in the range of 0.5~0.7. However, this trend reverses as the gap ratio becomes small, and the lift coefficient increases downward as the gap ratio decreases.

As the economy grows and the population increases, we need to develop our coastal area and make use of it for various purposes. Specifically, investigation of the wave interactions on and around the vertical cylinders is very important in the design of the offshore or coastal structures. The nonlinear potential analysis developed so far, although very useful, has been found to be limited in application, as strong nonlinear waves generated by the interference between multilayered cylinders and wave impact forces by breaking waves can hardly be estimated. In this study, using a 3-Dimensional volume tracking method VOF(Volume of Fluid), based on Namer-Stokes equations, was developed to simulate highly nonlinear effects, such as breaking waves at the interface or complicated interference waves among structures. A numerical method for nonlinear interaction wave and vertical cylinders is newly proposed. The wave forces and wave transformations computed by the newly proposed numerical simulation method were compared to the other researcher's experimental results, and the results agree well. Based on the validation of this study, this numerical method is applied to the two vertical cylinders to discuss their nonlinear wave forces and wave transformations, according to the variations of separate distance of vertical cylinders.

본 연구에서는 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동에 대한 수치적 연구를 제시한다. 먼저 다상유동 해석을 위해 표면장력에 대한 CSF(Continuum Surface Force) 모델 및 벽면부착 경계조건 모델을 비정렬격자계에 적합하도록 수치해석방법을 정립시키고, Myong(2009)이 개발한 비정렬격자계와 VOF 방법으로 체적포착법(volume capturing method)을 사용한 수치해석방법(코드)에 삽입하였다. 또한 본 수치해석방법을 사용하여 중력을 포함하여 어떤 외력도 존재하지 않고 오직 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 유동현상인 원통형 탱크의 바닥에 위치한 얕은 물풀(water pool)에 대해 물이 벽면을 적시는 경우와 적시지 않는 경우에 대해 수치해석 하였다. 연구결과, 본 수치해석방법은 벽면부착에 의해 야기되는 다상유동 문제에 대한 유용성이 입증되었다.

본 연구에서는 규칙파동장에 있어서 인장계류된 원형부유체의 파랑응답해석에 2차원 Navier-Stokes solver에 기초한 새로운 수치파동수조모델을 제안하였다. 본 수치파동수조모델에서는 이동구조물과 유체와의 상호작용을 해석하기 위하여 직각좌표계에서 임의형상의 불투과경계를 갖는 구조물과 유체와의 연성해석이 가능한 IBM(Immersed Boundary Method)과 자유수면 추적을 위한 VOF(Volume of Fluid)법을 결합하였다. 부유체운동에 대한 수치결과를 기존의 FAVOR(Fractional Area Volume Obstacle Representation)법에 의한 계산결과 및 수리실험과 비교하였다. 게다가, 수치모델의 보다 자세한 검증을 위하여 원형부유체의 동요 및 자유수면변동에 관한 수리모형을 추가로 실시하였고, 제안된 수치모델의 범용성과 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 직사각형부유체에 대한 수치 및 수리실험도 병행하였다. 이로부터 추정된 수치계산결과는 실험결과를 잘 재현하고 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

A LS(Level Set) formulation is developed for computing two-phase flows on non- orthogonal meshes. Compared with the VOF(Volume-of-Fluid) method based on a non-smooth volume-fraction function, the LS method can calculate an interfacial curvature more accurately by using a smooth distance function. Also, it is quite straightforward to implement for 3-D irregular meshes compared with the VOF method requiring much more complicated geometric calculations. The LS formulation is implemented into a general purpose program for 3-D flows and verified through several test problems.

A three dimensional numerical model was developed to analyze the mold filling and solidification processes straightforwardly in a casting processes. On the basis of the SIMPLER algorithm, the VOF method and the Equivalent Specific Heat method were adopted to deal with the free surface behavior and the latent heat evolution. The complete model has been validated using exact solutions and experimental results. The importance of three-dimensional effects has been highlighted by comparing the results from the three-dimensional analysis with those given by a two-dimensional analysis.

A general purpose program for computing 3-D flows has been extended for two-phase flows with topologically complex interfaces. The 3-D interfaces are tracked by employing a coupled level set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method which not only can calculate an interfacial curvature accurately but also can achieve mass conservation well. The program has been tested through the computations of bubbles rising in a liquid. The numerical results are found to compare well with the results reported in the literature.

This study is intended to analyze the effect of thin ink-film thickness around rotating printing roll on the printing quality in the gravure printing process which is used for making electronics circuit like a RFID tag with a conductive ink. The present work numerically estimates the film thickness around rotating roller partially immersed in ink for which the volume of fluid (VOF) method was adopted to figure out the film formation process around rotating roller. Parameter studies were performed to compare the effect of ink properties (viscosity, surface tension), operating condition (roller rotating speed, initial immersed angle) on the film thickness. The result indicates that the film thickness has a strong dependency on the rotating speed, while the surface tension has negligible effect.

It is important to research and understand the physical phenomenon around a semi-submersible offshore structure on waves and currents because the wave run-up and load occurs owing to the waves and currents. In this study, the numerical simulations are performed about flow around a fixed semi-submersible offshore structure. The Modified Marker-density method is adopted in the present computation procedure, this method is one of the various methods to define the free-surface. The present computation results are compared with existing experimental and numerical simulation(VOF method) results. And, the computation results are relatively coincident with the existing results of model test and numerical simulation by VOF method.

전통적인 VOF 기법을 이용한 내부 조파 방법을 레블셋 기법에 적용하였다. 기하학적으로 유리한 유한요소법을 이용하여, Navier-Stokes 방정식의 공간차분에는 Characteristic Galerkin 기법을, 시간차분에는 Fractional Four-step 기법을 적용하였다. 중심(x=0)에서 전파하는 경우, 외부조파에 의한 영역내 재반사 문제가 해결되어 선형파를 의도한 바대로 잘 조파할 수 있었다.
