In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of jet fan design variables on the performance of a jet fan. In order to achieve an optimum jet fan design and to explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the jet fan, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the DOE method have been applied. Several geometric variables, i.e., hub-tip ratio, meridional shape, rotor stagger angle, number of rotor-stator blades and stator geometry, were employed to improve the performance of the jet fan. The objective functions are defined as the exit velocity and total efficiency at the operating condition. Based on the results of computational analyses, the performance of the jet fan was significantly improved. The performance degradations when the jet fan is operated in the reverse direction are also discussed.

본 연구에서는 Jet fan 근접 거리에서 화재 발생 시 최소거리의 Jet fan을 이용하여 연기를 제어하기 위하여 PIV에 의한 가시화실험을 실시하였고, 또한 실험을 통해 얻어진 결과와 FDS 수치해석 그 결과를 비교, 분석 하였다. 터널 내 화재발생 시 Jet fan 설치에 따른 효율적인 연기제어 방식의 정량적 데이터 분석 결과 근접 Jet fan의 작동은 화원과 25m 이상의 거리에서만 가동해야 한다. 또한 Jet fan과 화원의 이격거리가 50m 부근에서 가장 안정적으로 연기가 제어되며 75m 이상의 거리에서는 터널 중앙 부근에서 과풍속 경향이 나타나며 제연되었다.

In this paper, the performance of ventilation equipments in enclosed parking garages were investigated for several air distribution systems by numerical method. Air change effectiveness of the non-mixing system was 0.42. It meant that more supply air as much as the design supply air was needed to maintain good indoor air quality. In the high speed nozzle ventilating system which is most expensive one, air change effectiveness was 0.54. Therefore this system satisfied to ventilation design. In the jet fan ventilating systems, air change effectiveness for jet fan ventilating system-A with 18 jet fans and jet fan ventilating system-B with 6 jet fans in circulation mixing arrangement were 0.565 and 0.42 respectively. Jet fan ventilating system-C with 6 jet fans in transport mixing arrangement was 0.535. Jet fan ventilating system-A and jet fan ventilating system-C met the ventilation design. But velocity in jet fan ventilating system-A was over 2.0m/s which is inappropriate in human comfort. Therefore this system is not proper to ventilation. Jet fan ventilating system-C was the optimum one for enclosed parking garages among 5 systems examined in this paper.

In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of silencer design variables on the performance of a jet fan. In order to achieve an optimum jet fan design and to explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the jet fan, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the Design of Experiments method have been applied. Two geometric variables, i.e., cap size and silencer length, were employed to improve the performance of the jet fan. The objective functions of the jet fan are defined as the effective velocity and total efficiency at the operating condition. Based on the results of computational analyses, the flow characteristics were discussed. The effect of silencer with a specific roughness on the performance was also discussed.

Flow and noise analyses are conducted for examining a new design concept of impinging jet electronics cooling, and the analysis results are compared with conventional electronics cooling techniques. For the application of impinging jet electronics cooling method, the present study considers the air duct where air is supplied by axial fan and air flow from the duct is impinged vertically onto the electronic component heat source. Applying CFD simulation technique and fan noise model to the present cooling scheme, the cooling performance of the impinging jet as well as the operation condition and the noise characteristics of fan are investigated for various impinging jet nozzle conditions and fan models. Furthermore, the impinging jet electronics cooling analysis results are compared with the conventional parallel-flow cooling scheme to give the design concept and criteria of impinging jet cooling method.

The flow field in road tunnel is influenced by some facts such as piston effect of vehicle's move, operation of ventilation facilities, natural wind and buoyancy effect of fire plume. Among those, jet fan is one of main ventilation facilities especially in longitudinal ventilation system of tunnel. In this study to analyze tunnel flow induced by operation of jet fan, numerical simulation has been carried out. The velocity distributions and streamlines in tunnel are examined to consider the three-dimensional characteristics of tunnel flow caused by jet fan.

To analyze the three-dimensional flow in tunnel caused by operation of jet fan, both experimental and computational studies have been conducted. The experimental analysis of tunnel flow induced by jet fan is conducted on a real-scale apparatus with jet fan and tunnel, and air velocity at the monitoring points is measured for variation of fan's RPM. The three-dimensional numerical analysis including tunnel and jet fan is carried out for the same geometric configuration as the experimental analysis. The experimental and computational results are compared to examine the applicability of the numerical method.

This paper studies the ventilation characteristics according to the jet fan location at the long road tunnel using the CFD software 'FLUENT' which is based on the finite volume method. The tunnel model used in the analysis has a length of 1600m, a cross sectional area of $120m^3$, and is composed of 3 lanes and one way. The velocity profile, the distribution of CO concentration and the ventilation flow rate within the tunnel are analyzed, respectively. In the analysis, it is found that the dependence of the ventilation flow rate upon the jet fan location is small, but the CO concentration in the tunnel is at the lowest when the jet fans are installed near the tunnel outlet. An air stream right below the jet fan is almost inactive due to the strong stream injection near the jet fan. Thus, the pollution level below the jet fan must be higher than the other area.

본 연구에서는 도로터널에서의 화재발생 시 최적의 방재시스템을 구축하기 위하여 실제 터널의 축소모형을 대상으로 제트팬의 위치 및 운전방식에 따른 연기의 유동 및 교란을 가시화함으로서 연기의 전파특성을 고찰하여 제트팬 운전방식의 타당성을 연기의 농도 분포에 의하여 검토하였다. 실험 결과로 화원으로부터 상류방향으로 근접한 제트팬 운전 시에는 연기의 역류를 방지하기위하여 화원과 제트팬의 거리는 최소 50 m이상 이격시켜야 한다. 반면에 화원으로부터 하류방향으로 근접한 제트팬 운전 시에는 모든 조건에 대하여 연기의 편류가 발생하지 않으나 하류방향으로 흐르는 연기의 성층화에 영향을 주기 때문에 사용이 불가능하다.

A numerical study is peformed to investigate the effect of circumferential velocity generated by the guide vane on the nozzle flow of a jet fan, s a way of increasing the penetration force of jet fan with nozzle of 175mm diameter. For the validation of numerical results. the velocity is measured by a 5-hole pitot tube and flow visualization is conducted by the tuft method. Under the inlet condition that the maximum circumferential velocity in the stator outlet of the present jet fan is 1.8m/s, the axial velocity in the nozzle outlet has the feature that the velocity at the axis is low and the velocity near the wall high. Therefore, to increase the throw length of the jet fan, the configuration of the fairing and nozzle needs to be developed and the precise revise of the stator angle is required, In addition, the bigger the circumferential velocity, the smaller the axial velocity at the axis and the bigger non-uniformity of the flow distribution.
