A three dimensional numerical study has been applied to predict the turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics for the rectangular channel with different types of baffles. Four different types of the baffles are used. The inclined baffles have the width of 19.8 cm, the square diamond type hole having one side length of 2.55 cm, and the inclination angle of $5^{\circ}$. Reynolds number is varied between 23,000 and 57,000. The SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model is used in the present numerical study. The validity of the numerical results is examined with the experimental data. The numerical results of the flow field depict that the flow patterns around the different baffle type are entirely different and it significantly affects the local heat transfer characteristics. The heat transfer and friction factor depend significantly on the number of baffle holes. It is found that the heat transfer enhancement of baffle type II (3 hole baffle) has the best values.

Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs) have gained wide acceptance as a system for structural control and energy dissipation. However, they face limitation caused by low damping in deep water, which affects their efficiency. Another problem with deep water TLDs is that not all water depth participates in energy dissipation. This paper investigated the effect of upper mounted baffles on the effectiveness of TLDs. The Vertical Blockage Ratio (VBR) of baffles ranged from 10% - 90%. The TLD (with and without baffle), structure, and combined structure with TLD (with and without baffles) were subjected to free and harmonic forced vibrations. Results indicated that baffles could significantly enhance the energy dissipation of TLDs, thus reducing structural responses more than structures equipped with ordinary TLDs. It was found that, there was an optimum value of VBR in which the TLD's efficiency was maximized. When TLD had an appropriate VBR, the structural acceleration and displacement responses were suppressed significantly up to 51% and 56%, respectively.

Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs) provide low damping when it comes to deep water condition, and that not all water depth is mobilized in energy dissipation. This research focussed on a method to improve the efficiency of TLDs with deep water condition. Several bottom-mounted baffles were installed inside a TLD and the dynamic characteristics of modified TLDs together with their effect on the vibration control of a SDOF structure were studied experimentally. A series of free vibration and harmonic forced vibration tests were carried out. The controlling parameter in the conducted tests was the Vertical Blocking Ratio (VBR) of baffles. Results indicated that increase in VBR decreases the natural frequency of TLD and increases its damping ratio. It was found that the VBR range of 10% to 30% reduced response of the structure significantly. The modified TLD with the VBR of 30% showed the best performance when reduction in structural responses under harmonic excitations were compared.

In the design of super tankers or LNG carriers, which transport a large amount of liquid in the cargo tanks, the structural d11mage due to liquid sloshing is an important problem. The impact pressure from sloshing is most violent when the liquid motion of a partially filled tank is in resonance with the motion of a ship. In this study, the sloshing natural periods of a baffled tank, often installed to reduce liquid motion, is analyzed. A variational method is adopted to estimate the sloshing natural periods for a prismatic cargo tank with baffles of arbitrary filling depth of liquid; the results are compared with Lloyd's Register regulations on sloshing periods. In this study, using an effective liquid-fill-depth concept, sloshing periods for a baffled tank can be expressed by the same form as rectangular prismatic tanks without baffles. In contrast to Lloyd's Register regulations, which can be applicable only to cargo tanks with constant baffle size and distribution, the present results can be applicable to cases of variable baffle size and distribution.

Cylindrical array sensor of a surface ship to detect an enemy is normally installed in the sonar dome. Reflected signals by some structures inside the sonar dome make unwanted signals. To minimize unwanted signals, acoustic baffles are used. Acoustic baffles are hard to install and replace, so the durability of acoustic baffles is an important design parameter. To verify the durability of acoustic baffle, accelerated aging tests according to temperature and pressure were performed. Acoustic baffle specimens were made and they are tested the visual and the performance (echo reduction and transmission loss) inspection before and after aging. After the inspection, the effect of accelerated aging of the acoustic baffles were discussed.

정수장에서 사용되고 있는 원형 물탱크내의 물은 잔류염소농도 0.1 mg/L 이상을 유지하여야 한다. 일반적으로 잔류염소 농도는 물탱크의 구조, 크기 그리고 물의 유량에 따라 다르다. 잔류염소농도는 염소의 확산시간을 최대한 확보하는 것이 가장 중요하며, 그것을 위하여 일반적으로 원형 물탱크내의 격벽을 설치한다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 이용한 유동해석을 수행하여 물과 염소의 농도분포를 구하였다. 유동해석 결과 격벽사이에서 유동내 와류가 발생하였으며, 격벽의 수가 증가할수록 염소가 물에 확산되는 시간을 확보할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 원통형 대책구조물의 설치조건에 따른 토석류의 에너지 저감효과를 분석하기 위해, 원통형 대책구조물을 설치 가능한 소형 수로를 제작하고 구조물의 종방향 설치 수를 변화시켜가면서 실내모형실험을 수행하였다. 또한 토석류와 대책구조물의 크기변화가 흐름특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해, 대형수로 내에서 소형수로 실험과 동일한 종방향 구조물을 배치하고, 토석류와 대책구조물의 크기를 증가시켜 실험을 수행하였다. 소형 및 대형수로 실험결과, 원통형 대책구조물의 설치 개수가 증가는 토석류의 유속과 흐름깊이를 감소시켜, 토석류의 에너지 저감효과를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.

A numerical analysis was made In investigate the pressure diminution of a silencer with baffles for high pressure blast flow fields. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations were solved for an axisymmetric computational domain constructed by multi block Chimera grids. A blast flow field was calculated for the silencers that are with one and three baffles. The evolution of high pressure blast flow fields was observed by depicting calculated contours of pressure. It was found that the tested silencer could achieve 97.7 percent pressure diminution.

The transient dynamic-response analysis of fuel-storage tanks of flying vehicles accelerating in the vertical direction is achieved with finite element method. A fuel-storage tank is a representative example of the fluid-structure interaction problem, in which structure and fluid media interact strongly. For the accurate analysis of this complicated fluid-structure system, we employed ALE(arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) coupling method. Two types of fuel-storage tanks, one with two baffles and the other without baffle, are considered to examine the effect of baffles. The fuel-storage tank with baffles shows more uniform hydrodynamic pressure distribution, resulting effective stress in structural region and faster convergence from transient to steady states. MSC/Dytran, a commercial FEM software for the 3D coupled dynamic analysis, is used for this analysis.

In the present study, numerical simulations were performed in a stirred solid/liquid system by using Eulerian multi-phase model. The transient flow field of liquid and distribution of solid particles were predicted in the stirred tank with pitched paddle impeller and baffles. The Frozen rotor method is adopted to consider the rotating motion of the impeller. The effects of number and width of baffles on the mixing time and the quality of solid suspension in the stirred tank are presented numerically. The result shows that the mixing time decreases as the width and number of baffles increase. The present numerical methodology can be applied to optimizing mixing condition of industrial mixer.
