Numerical simulation of steady, non-evaporating hollow-cone sprays interacting with concentric annular air jets is performed using the discrete stochastic particle method in KIVA. The spray characteristics such as SMD, mean droplet velocity, liquid volume flux, air/liquid mass ratio, and droplet number density arc obtained and compared with the measurements involving different air flow rates in large and small annuli. Overall satisfactory agreement is achieved between calculation and experiment except for the deviation in the downstream SMD arising from uncertainty in the size distribution function at injection, and inaccuracy in the averaged spray parameters due to the small volumes of axisymmetric 2-D sector meshes close to the axis.

In the present study, deposition of discrete and small particles, which diameter is less than $1{\mu}m$, on a filter element was simulated by stochastic method. Trajectory of each particle was numerically solved by Langevin equation and Brownian random motion was treated by Brownian dynamics. Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to solve flow field around the filter collector and deposit layer. Interaction between flow field and deposit layer was obtained from a converged solution from an inner-loop calculation. Simulation method is properly validated and collection efficiency due to different filtration parameters are examined and discussed. Morphology of deposit layer and its evolution was visualized in terms of the particle size. The particle loaded effect on collection efficiency was also discussed.

In the present study, deposition of discrete and small particles on a filter fiber was simulated by stochastic method. Trajectory of each particle was numerically solved by Langevin equation. And Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) was used to solve flow field around the filter collector for considering complex shape of deposit layer. Interaction between the flow field and the deposit layer was obtained from a converged solution from an inner-loop calculation. Simulation method is properly validated with filtration theory and collection efficiency due to different filtration parameters are examined and discussed. Morphology of deposit layer and its evolution was visualized in terms of the particle size. The particle loaded effect on collection efficiency was also discussed.

Natural gas hydrate has been a major problem for its plugging nature in the pipeline. With the demand of deep-water production, the importance of flow assurance technology, preventing hydrate, asphaltene and wax in the pipeline becomes bigger Kinetic models combined with the flow simulator are being developed to explain the nature of hydrate plug formation in the pipeline. To simulate the hydrate plug formation, each stage including the nucleation, growth and agglomeration should be considered. The hydrate nucleation is known to be stochastic and is believed hard to be predicted. Recent publications showed hydrate growth and agglomeration can be observed rigorously using a particle size analyzer. However properties of the hydrate should be investigated to model the growth and agglomeration. The attractive force between hydrate particles, supposed to be the capillary force, was revealed to be stochastic. Alternative way to model the hydrate agglomeration is to simulate by the discrete element method. Those parameters, particle size distribution, attractive force, and growth rate are embedded into the kinetic model which is combined Into the flow simulator. When compared with the flowloop experimental data, hydrate kinetic model combined into a flow simulator showed good results. With the early results, the hydrate kinetic model is promising but needs more efforts to improve it.

본 하이브리드 노즐은 국부 지점에 집중적으로 분사하기 위해 소화 약제 주위로 워터미스트를 분사하여 커튼과 같이 약제를 가두어 목표 지점에 살포함으로써 소화 성능이 제고 된다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 연구를 통해 노즐 기단 각 및 워터미스트 노즐 분사 압력이 하이브리드 노즐 성능에 미치는 영향을 워터미스트 및 소화 약제 액적의 평균 분포 반경을 기반으로 정량적으로 비교 분석 하였다. 워터미스트 노즐 실험 결과를 이용하여 수치해서 기법의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 유동장 내 액적 간 충돌, 병합 및 깨짐 등의 거동을 고려하기 위해 정상상태 2-way interaction Discrete Particle Modeling (DPM) 해석을 수행하였다. 분사 압력이 30 bar에서 60 bar로 증가함에 따라 워터미스트 액적의 평균 분포 반경은 약 40 % 감소하는 반면에 소화 약제의 평균 액적 분포 반경은 약 21 % 감소하였다. 또한 기단 각이 $30^{\circ}$에서 $60^{\circ}$로 2배 증가하였을 때 소화 약제의 평균 분포 반경은 약 24 % 증가하였다. 결과적으로 하이브리드 노즐은 워터미스트를 분사를 통해 내부에 분사된 소화 약제를 국부지점 집중적으로 분사하는 데 목적이 있으므로 소화 약제 액적의 평균 분포 반경을 고려하여 워터미스트 분사 압력과 기단 각의 설계가 중요할 것으로 판단된다.
