Flow with suction to water turbine must be in stable state at small hydraulic power plant. But because of water level fluctuation and water gate effect according to irregular supply of cooling water, it would happen to produce bubble and vortex and finally lead to problems in power-plant system. With utilizing the concept design of double size gate, surface water overflowed the overhead of gate for stable flow at suction. We developed the overflow condition and analyzed the design factor with existed one such as water level(overflow amount) and overhead of water gate(overflow figure). Flow test and CFD simulation say that flow have stable state around suction and 20% of wave reduction effect at surface layer after surface water overflow.

풍력터변의 성능을 높이기 위한 방법으로 최근 해외에서는 쉬라우드를 장착하여 유입 유량을 증진시키는 형상에 대한 새로운 아이디어가 제안되고 시범적으로 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 쉬라우드가 장착된 수평축 풍력터빈에 대해서 EDISON CFD를 이용하여 쉬라우드 내부로 유입되는 질량 유량의 변동을 몇 가지 형상에 대해 수치적으로 비교 분석하였다. 유동장은 비압축성 난류유동으로 가정하였으며, 수치 해석 결과로부터 쉬라우드 주변의 순환의 세기를 형상 변동에 따라 도출하였다. 쉬라우드 형상으로는 캠버를 갖는 goe 417 에어포일을 두 개의 받음각(5도, 10도)에 대해서 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 브림을 갖는 디퓨저 형상(Wind-lens)에 대해서도 유입 유량 변동과 순환 세기에 대해 수치해석을 수행하고 결과를 상호 비교하였다. 본 연구를 통해 쉬라우드가 발생시키는 순환에 의한 유입 유량 증가 현상을 파악할 수 있었으며, 이로써 풍력터빈의 출력을 증대시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with the experimental study on the flow characteristics in straight flow can type combustor which has been used for high pressure ratio gas turbine combustor. The author has investigated the effects of swirl number and secondary air hole arrays in axial position on the flow characteristics by adopting the tuft method and 5-Hole Pilot Tube. From these experiments, as the swirl number increases, the results obtained is that the area of recirculation zone becomes wide and the position of vortex-core region approaches to the near of fuel nozzle in the model combustor. The most favourable penetration is obtained when secondary air jet is introduced through the air holes distributed in the form of paralled two rows in axial position of model combustor.

The performance of gas turbine engines is affected by instabilities, like as rotating stall and/or surge. Rotating Stall is a transient intermediate stage between normal flow and complete flow breakdown leading to engine surge. Rotating Stall is associated with large amplitude nonaxisymmetric flow variations rotating around the compressor annulus. This paper presents the evolutions of stall propagation in a compressor cascade by numerical analysis. The flow phenomena due to stall cells and propagation speed are examined using 2 dimensional Navier - Stokes equations.

Unsteady flow simulations through a transonic turbine vane were carried out for an isentropic Mach number of 1.02 and a Reynolds number of $10^6$. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of unsteadiness due to vortex shedding on the flow in transonic regime. The steady and the time-averaged unsteady results by employing three different turbulence models: shear stress transport (SST), k-${\omega}$, and ${\omega}$ Reynolds stress models were compared. The comparisons were emphasized on the isentropic Mach number along the blade and total pressure loss at the cascade exit. The results showed that both steady and unsteady calculations have good agreement with experimental data along the blade surface. However, at cascade exit, the unsteady calculations have much better agreement with experimental data than steady calculations. Based on these, we conclude that the unsteady flow calculations are essential for these types of problems.

Large eddy simulation(LES) methodology used to model the isothermal swirling flows in a dump combustor and the turbulent premixed flame in a model gas turbine combustor. The LES solver was implemented on parallel computer consisting 16 processors. In isothermal flow simulation, the results was compared with that of ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model as well as experimental data, in order to verify the capability of LES code. To model the turbulent premixed flame in a gas turbine, the G-equation flamelet model was used. The results showd that LES and RANS well predicted the mean velocity field of a non-swirling flow. However, in swirling flow, LES showed a better performance in predicting the mean axial and azimuthal velocities, and the central recirculation zone than those of RANS. In a model gas turbine combustor, the operation condition of high pressure and temperature induced the different phenomena, such as flame length and flow-field information, comparing with the condition of ambient pressure and temperature. Finally, it was identified that the flame and heat release oscillations are related to the vortex shedding generated by swirl flow and pressure wave propagation.

This paper represents the results of the experiments of the three-dimensional flow and the aerodynamic loss caused by the three-dimensional flow within the plane bucket blades. To research the secondary flow and the aerodynamic loss, the large-scale plane bucket blade of lst-stage in the low pressure steam turbine is made of FRP. The detailed investigation of the secondary flow and the aerodynamic loss using 5-hole pressure probe within turbine cascade has been carried out in the low speed wind tunnel. The limiting streamlines of the suction and endwall surface have been visualized by the oil film method. The flow visualization of the secondary flow has been performed by the laser light sheet technique and image processing system. By using the method mentioned above, it is possible to observe the evolution of the pitchwise mass-averaged flow deviation angle and total pressure loss coefficient, the secondary flow, and the aerodynamic loss through the cascade.

A rotor dynamic analysis is mandatory for stability and design optimization of submerged propellers and turbines. An accurate simulation requires a proper consideration of fluid-induced reaction forces. This paper presents a bi-directional coupling of a bond graph method solver and an unsteady vortex lattice method solver where the former is used to model the rotor dynamics of the power train and the latter is used to predict transient hydrodynamic forces. Due to solver coupling, determination of hydrodynamic coefficients is obsolete and added mass effects are considered automatically. Additionally, power grid and structural faults like grid fluctuations, eccentricity or failure could be investigated using the same model. In this research work a fast, time resolved dynamic simulation of the complete power train is conducted. As an example, the rotor dynamics of a tidal stream turbine is investigated under two inflow conditions: I - shear flow, II - shear flow + water waves.

In general, to maximize the supply and efficiency of floating offshore wind power generation energy, the motion caused by wave attenuation of the substructure must be reduced. According to previous studies, the motion response was reduced due to the vortex viscosity generated by the damping plate installed in the lower structure among the waves. In this study, a 5 MW semi-submersible OC5 platform and two platforms with attenuation plates were designed, and free decay experiments and numerical calculations were performed to confirm the effect of reducing motion due to vortex viscosity. As a result of the model test, when the heave free decay tests were conducted at drop heights of 30 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm, compared with the OC5 platform, the platform with two types of damping plates attached had relatively improved motion damping performance. In the model test and numerical calculation results, the damping plate models, KSNU Plate 1 and KSNU Plate 2, were 1.1 times and 1.3 times lower than OC5, respectively, and the KSNU Plate 2 platform showed about two times better damping performance than OC5. This study shows that the area of the damping plate and the vortex viscosity are closely related to the damping rate of the heave motion.

Secondary flow losses can be as high as $30{\sim}50%$ of the total aerodynamic losses generated in the cascade of a turbine. Therefore, these are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. As well, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the leading edge fences on a wing-body to decrease a horseshoe vortex, one of the factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and optimizes the shape of leading-edge fence with the shape factors, such as the installed height, length, width, and thickness of the fence as the design variables. The study was investigated using $FLUENT^{TM}$ and $iSIGHT^{TM}$. Total pressure loss coefficient was improved about 7.5 % than the baseline case.
