The slag viscosity is an important factor determining the operation temperature of entrained flow type of gasifiers. The temperature of critical viscosity, $T_{cv}$, for 5 crystalline slags was predicted by empirical models and FactSage equilibrium calculations, and the validity of each method was tested. Two empirical models were employed: one using $T_h$ from the ash fusion test, and the other using the concentrations of 5 major components. The first model using $T_h$ over-predicted $T_{cv}$ by $20{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, while the model based on the slag composition under-predicted $T_{cv}$ by $80{\sim}120^{\circ}C$. In the equlibrium calculations, $T_{cv}$ was obtained from the liquidus temperature. When the 4-major component concentrations were used in the calculation, the predicted temperatures were higher than the observed. The liquidus temperature was very sensitive to the concentrations of minor components, and the addition of MgO and $Na_2O$ lowered the liquidus temperature. The results with 4 major and 3 minor components most closely described experimentally observed $T_{cv}$. In the case that a chromia refractory was used, it was shown that $Cr_2O_3$ concentration in the slag also needs to be included for more accurate prediction of $T_{cv}$.

An application of the KFLOW3D code which has been developed at KAIST is presented. This paper briefly describes the underlying methodology and summarizes the results for the DLR-F6 transport configuration recently presented in the second AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop held in Orlando, FL, June 2003. KFLOW3D is a parallelized Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes solver for multi-block structured grids. For the present computations, 2-equation k-$\omega$ WD+ nonlinear eddy viscosity model is used. The emphasis of the paper is placed on the implementation of the k-$\omega$ WD+ model in the multigrid framework and practicality of KFLOW3D for accurately predicting not only the integrated aerodynamic property such as the drag coefficient but pressure distributions.

The turbulent heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid flow through rod bundles is analyzed using k-$\varepsilon$ two-equation model. For the prediction of the turbulent flow field, an anisotropic eddy viscosity model is used. In the analysis of the temperature field, the effects of various parameters such as geometry, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers are considered. The calculation in made for Prandtl numbers from 0.001 to 0.1 in order to analyze the heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid such as liquid metals. The numerical results show that for small P/D (Pitch/Diameter) geometries low Prandtl number makes severe changes of the rod surface temperature.

After the collapse of the Tacoma bay bridge at Tacoma Washington, the accurate prediction of aerodynamics became crucial to the sound design of bridges. CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) becomes important tool for the prediction on wind effects on the bridge due to the recent development of CFD. The usage of CFD is further prompted by the advantages in using CFD, such as low-cost and fast feed-back of design. In this paper, an unsteady compressible Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes code is used for the computation of the flow over bridges. Coakley's ��q-${\omega}$ �� two-equation turbulence model is used for the turbulent eddy viscosity. For accurate and stable computations, the local preconditioning method is adapted to the code. Aerodynamic characteristics of a couple bridges are presented to show the validity and the accuracy of the method.

For the prediction on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown, computational studies on the Oblique Shock wave/Vortex Interaction (OSVI) are conducted and compared with both experimental results and analytic model. A Shock-stable numerical scheme, the Roe scheme with Mach number-based function (RoeM), and a two-equation eddy viscosity-transport approach are used for three-dimensional turbulent flow computations. The computational configuration is identical to available experiment, and we attempt to ascertain the effect of parameters such as a vertex strength, streamwise velocity deficit, and shock strength at a freestream Mach number of 2.49. Numerical simulations using the ${\kappa}-{\omega}SST$ turbulence model and suitably modeled vortex profiles are able to accurately reproduce many fine features through a direct comparison with experimental observations. The present computational approach to determine the criterion on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown is found to be in good agreement with both the experimental result and the analytic prediction.

In the present paper the effect of various process conditions on the final weight of injection molded rectangular plates has been investigated in detail. The main parameters involved in the simulations were melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed and packing pressure. The dimensions of the plate used were 100mm long, 2mm of width and polystyrene was used as a molding material. The shear viscosity of the polymeric material was treated as a function of shear rate, temperature and pressure through the whole processes including packing and cooling stages. By increasing a packing pressure the final weight of sample increased linearly. Furthermore, as the melt temperature, the mold temperature and the injection speed increased, the final weight of the injection molded plate decreased within the molding window.

The accurate prediction of motion in waves of a marine vehicle is essential to assess the maximum sea state vs. operational requirements. This is particularly true for small crafts, such as Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASV). Two different numerical methods to predict motions of a SWATH-ASV are considered: an inviscid strip theory initially developed at MIT for catamarans and then adapted for SWATHs and new a hybrid strip theory, based on the numerical solution of the radiation forces by an unsteady viscous, non-linear free surface flow solver. Motion predictions obtained by the viscous flow method are critically discussed against those obtained by potential flow strip theory. Effects of viscosity are analyzed by comparison of sectional added mass and damping calculated at different frequencies and for different sections, RAOs and motions response in irregular waves at zero speed. Some relevant conclusions can be drawn from this study: influence of viscosity is definitely non negligible for SWATH vessels like the one presented: amplitude of the pitch and heave motions predicted at the resonance frequency differ of 20% respectively and 50%; in this respect, the hybrid method with fully non-linear, viscous free surface calculation of the radiation forces turns out to be a very valuable tool to improve the accuracy of traditional strip theories, without the burden of long computational times requested by fully viscous time domain three dimensional simulations.

The rheological properties of fresh concrete significantly influence its manufacturing and performance. However, the diversification of newly developed mixtures and manufacturing techniques has made it challenging to accurately predict these properties using traditional empirical methods. This study introduces a multiscale rheological property prediction model designed to quantitatively anticipate the rheological characteristics from nano-scale interparticle interactions, such as those among cement particles, to micro-scale behaviors, such as those involving fine aggregates. The Yield Stress Model (YODEL), the Chateau-Ovarlez-Trung equation, and the Krieger-Dougherty equation were utilized to predict the yield stress for cement paste and mortar, as well as the plastic viscosity. Initially, predictions were made for the paste scale, using the water-cement ratio (W/C) of the cement paste. These predictions then served as a basis for further forecasting of the rheological properties at the mortar scale, incorporating the same W/C and adding the cement-sand volume ratio (C/S). Lastly, the practicality of the predictive model was assessed by comparing the forecasted outcomes to experimental results obtained from rotational rheometer.

수제는 유수에 의한 하안 침식을 방지하기 위한 목적의 수공구조물이다. 최근에는 하천복원 및 생태계복원에 대한 관심이 증가되면서, 하안 침식 방지뿐만 아니라 수제에 의한 흐름분리 및 재순환영역의 생태 서식처 제공에 대한 역할이 부각되고 있다. 따라서 수제 설계 시, 수제 설치에 따른 수리특성 변화를 미리 파악하는 것이 필요하지만, 수제 간격, 설치 방향, 수제 높이, 수제 길이, 하도 특성 및 접근 유수 특성 등 다양한 인자에 의해 수리특성 변화를 예측하기란 쉽지 않으며, 비용과 시 공간 측면에서 물리 모형을 이용한 접근법도 용이하지 못하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 수제 설치에 따른 흐름특성 변화를 모의하고, 모형의 적용성을 판별하고자 하였다. 지배 방정식은 기본적으로 천수방정식을 적용하게 되는데, 수제 주변 흐름 특성은 난류에 의한 횡방향 확산이 중요한 인자로작용하게 된다. 상수 와점성(constant eddy viscosity) 모형, 포물선형 와점성 (parabolic eddy viscosity) 모형을통해 개발 모형의예측 결과와 실험수로 결과를 비교하였다. 수제하류의 재순환영역의 길이가 실험수로의 결과에 비해서 5~6 배까지 확대된 결과를 나타내고 있어, 만족할 만한 결과를 현재까지 얻지 못하였다. 횡방향 확산이 중요한 만큼 k-$\varepsilon$ 모형 등 다양한 난류 모형의 적용이 고려되어질 필요가 있으며, 또한 1차원 요소가 아닌 2차원 요소의 적용을 고려할 필요도 있다.

고온고압에서 운전되는 IGCC용 분류층 석탄가스화기는 석탄에 포함된 회 성분을 대부분 용융 슬래그 형태로 가스화기 벽을 타고 흘러내리게 하여 가스화기 하부로 배출시킨다. 이러한 용융 슬래그를 원활하게 배출시키는 것은 가스화기의 안정적인 운전에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 슬래그 층 내의 물질수지, 운동량 및 에너지 보존을 고려하여 석탄가스화기내의 슬래그 거동을 해석할 수 있는 모델 식을 유도하였다. 유도된 슬래그 거동 모델 식들을 적용하고 가스화기의 형상을 고려하여 가스화기 내부에서의 슬래그 거동을 해석하였다. 또한 슬래그 물성치들인 슬래그 점도, 슬래그 비열, 슬래그 밀도, 슬래그 열전달 계수 등을 슬래그의 조성 변화에 따라 별도로 산정하여 슬래그 해석의 입력 데이터로 사용하였다. 슬래그에 첨가되는 석회석의 비율을 해석의 주요 변수로 사용하여 가스화기 하부에서 용융 슬래그 및 고체 슬래그 두께, 용융 슬래그 층 내부에서의 슬래그 점도분포 및 슬래그 속도분포 등 슬래그 거동의 주요 특성들을 예측하였다. 해석결과로 석탄에 석회석의 첨가량을 증가시키면 슬래그의 임계점도온도(temperature of critical viscosity)와 점도가 낮아지므로 가스화기 벽면에서의 용융 슬래그의 유동속도는 빨라지며, 고체 슬래그와 용융 슬래그의 두께가 감소하는 것을 정량적으로 확인할 수 있었다.
