High-volume low-speed (HVLS) fans are one category of ceiling fan installed in large enclosings such as warehouses, large barns and health clubs in order to generate comfortable air circulation. As a rotary blade, aerodynamic performance of a HVLS fan is predominantly related to its airfoil(s), and the pitch and twist angles. This paper first, investigates the effects of airfoil on the performances of three different HVLS fans with NACA 5414, 6413 and 7415 airfoils. The fans have six untwisted blades with the diameter of 6 m and rotate at 60 RPM. The blades pitch angels are $12^{\circ}$, $12^{\circ}$ and $13^{\circ}$, respectively. The results are presented in the form of the aerodynamic forces and moments, volumetric flow rate and streamlines. Regarding the volumetric flow of air, the results show that the model with NACA 7415 has the best performance. Hence, two other HVLS fans with the same airfoil but, with four and five blades are studied in order to investigate the effects of number of blades. From the point of view of air circulation still the six-bladed fan is the best one; however, the five-bladed fan is more efficient in power consumption.

In this study, 3-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was induced to simulate air flow and particle motion in the axial flow cyclone separator. The commercialized CFD code FLUENT was used to visualize pressure drop and particle collection efficiency inside the cyclone. We simulated 4 cyclone models with different shape of vane, such as turning angle or shape of cross section. For the air flow simulation, we calculated the flow field using standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence viscous model. Each model was simulated with different inlet or outlet boundary conditions. Our major concern for the flow filed simulation was pressure drop across the cyclone. For the particle trajectory simulation, we adopted Euler-Lagrangian approach to track particle motion from inlet to outlet of the cyclone. Particle collection efficiencies of various conditions are calculated by number based collection efficiency. The result showed that the rotation angle of the vane plays major roll to the pressure drop. But the smaller rotation angle of vane causes particle collection efficiency difference with different inlet position.

본 연구의 목적은 수제설치로 변화되는 수제역 주변의 흐름을 3D 수치해석으로 분석하여 수제역의 흐름과 유사거동에 관한 환경적 효과(수중생물의 서식처 등)에 대한 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 비월류 수제군(non-submerged groynes)의 흐름 특성은 대체로 2차원류(주 수직와류 : mainly horizontal eddies)이고 와류는 수제의 말단에서 발생하여 유로를 따라 이동한다. 이러한 동적 움직임은 큰 격자와 큰 시간차 그리고 난류 모델링의 부적합성 즉 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모델을 이용한 수제 주변에서의 흐름패턴 모의 등은 그 해석이 매우 어려운 문제이다. 따라서 본 연구는 WL/Delft Hydraulics의 DELFT3D 소프트웨어 패키지의 한 부분인 DELFT-3D-MOR 프로그램을 이용하여 준 2차원 난류와 3차원 난류로 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 2차원 수심평균 모델을 적용하여 수평대와류모의(horizontal large eddy simulation, HLES)를 실시하였다. 그 결과 HLES를 이용하여 하상변화를 예측할 경우 실제 관측한 하상과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 HLES를 이용하지 않은 평균 유속 모델을 사용하는 경우에 하상형태는 현실성이 떨어지고 하상형상학적 변화시간이 길어짐을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 현상은 시간적으로 변화하는 와류(eddy)의 형상과 관련된 강력한 유속변화를 무시한 결과로 추정되었다.

The effects of windbreaks on the reduction of suspended particles are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence closure scheme based on the renormalization group (RNG) theory. In the control experiment, the recirculation zones behind the storage piles are generated and, as a whole, relatively monotonous flow patterns appear. When the windbreaks with the 0% porosity are constructed, the recirculation zones are generated by the windbreaks and very complicated flow patterns appear due to the interference between the windbreaks and storage piles. The porosity of the windbreaks suppresses the generation of the recirculation zone and decreases the wind velocity in the windbreaks as well as that outside the windbreaks. As the emission of suspended particles from the storage piles are closely related with the friction velocity at the surfaces of the storage piles, variation of the friction velocity and total amount of the emission of the suspended particles with the height and porosity of the windbreaks are investigated. The results show that higher and more porous windbreaks emit less suspended particles and that the reduction effect of the porosity is still more effective than that of the height. In the case of the windbreak with 30 m height and 50% porosity, friction velocities above the storage piles are smaller than the critical friction velocity above which particles would be suspended. As a result, total amount of suspended particles are much fewer than those in other cases.

본 연구는 향후 산업적으로 질소산화물 규제가 중요한 문제로 대두될 만한 산업용 보일러를 대상으로 수행하였다. 일반적으로 SNCR 방법의 산업용 보일러로의 적용은 혼합을 위한 충분한 체류시간을 제공하지 못한다는 점에서 적합하지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 SNCR 장치의 산업용 보일러 적용가능성을 조사하기 위한 것이다. 구체적으로 연료로 중유를 사용하는 시간당 스팀 발생량 40톤 규모의 산업용 보일러를 연구 대상으로 하였다. 사업용 보일러의 수치 해석을 위한 3-D 직교좌표계 프로그램에는 난류 유동, 난류 연소반응, NOx의 생성과 환원제와의 반응을 통한 소멸반응 등을 포함하고 있다. 또한 개발된 코드에는 Lagrangian 방법에 의한 입자궤적 프로그램이 포함되어 있고, 주입구에서 접선방향으로의 선회효과를 계산에 의해 고려하였다. 선회버너 효과를 고려한 결과 단화염이 생성되었으며 NOx 환원반응에 적합한 온도 영역의 증가로 인해 NOx 제거효율도 향상되었다. 실험결과와의 비교를 통하여 프로그램을 검증하였으며, 계산결과 혼합용 공기 주입을 통한 환원제와의 혼합 향상을 통해서 SNCR 방법의 산업용 보일러 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 두 가지 유형의 3차원 실내 공간 내에서 화재 발생시 연기거동에 미치는 복사영향을 알아보기 위해 자체개발한 SMEP(Smoke Movement Estimating Program) Seld 모델을 사용하여 수치해석하였다. PISO 알고리즘과 부력항을 포함한 수정 k - e 난류모델을 사용한 SMEP은 연속, 운동, 에너지, 농도 그리고 복사 열 전달 방정식을 풀었으며, 복사 열 전달 방정식의 해석을 위하여 S-N 구분종좌표법을 채택하여 사용하였다. 수치해석 결과 연기의 온도분포는 복사를 고려하지 않고 대류만을 고려했을 경우 실험치와 많은 오차를 보였으나 복사를 함께 고려했을 경우는 실험치와 작은 오차범위로 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 이것은 연기속에 포함되어 있는 연소생성물 중 H2O와 CO2 가스의 복사 영향 때문이며, 따라서 좀더 실제적인 화재해석에 있어서 복사는 반드시 고려되어야만 한다.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.

A model experiment has been performed to get the heat transfer coefficient on the soil surface in the closed ecosystem. The heat flux on the soil surface was measured and the heat transfer coefficient was derived in the following two cases with 5-stepped control of inside air current speed. One case was that heat flowed from air to soil and the other case was that heat flowed from soil to air. Three dimensional CFD model has been set to simulate thermal environment in the closed ecosystem including soil layers. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model of the CFD program was chosen for turbulence model and heating wire buried in the soil layers was set as heat source option to simulate the case when the temperature of soil surface was higher than that of inside air in the closed ecosystem. Between one case that heat flowed from air to soil and the other case that heat flowed from soil to air, there were big differences in the temperature distribution of soil layers and the heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface. The increasing rate of heat transfer coefficient on each case according to the increase of inside air current speed was similar to each other and it respectively increased linearly. But the heat transfer coefficient on the case that heat flowed from soil to air was much bigger than that of the other case. The model was validated by comparing simulated values of CFD model with measured values of the model experiment. Simulated and measured temperature of inside air and soil layers, and heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface were well accorded and the range of corrected $R^2$ was 0.664 to 0.875. The developed CFD model was well simulated in parts of the temperature of inside air and soil layers, the distribution of the inside air current speed, and heat transfer coefficient of the soil surface were able to be quantitatively analyzed by using this model. Therefore, the model would be applied and used for analysis of heat transfer coefficient between air and surface in various agricultural facilities.

The performance of the crossover system of a centrifugal compressor stage consisting of static components of $180^{\circ}$ U-bend, return channel vanes and exit ducting with a $90^{\circ}$ bend is investigated. This study is confined to the assessment of performance of the crossover system by varying the shape of the return channel vanes. For this purpose two different types of Return Channel Vanes (RCV1 and RCV2) were experimentally investigated. The performance of the crossover system is discussed in terms of total pressure loss coefficient, static pressure recovery coefficient and vane surface pressure distribution. The experimentation was carried out on a test setup in which static swirl vanes were used to simulate the flow at the exit of an actual centrifugal compressor impeller with a design flow coefficient of 0.053. The swirl vanes are connected to a mechanism with which the flow angle at the inlet of U-bend could be altered. The measurements were taken at five different operating conditions varying from 70% to 120% of design flow rate. On an overall assessment RCV1 is found to give better performance in comparison to RCV2 for different U-bend inlet flow angles. The performance of RCV2 was verified using numerical studies with the help of a CFD Code. Three dimensional sector models were used for simulating the flow through the crossover system. The turbulence was predicted with standard k-$\varepsilon$, 2-equation model. The iso-Mach contour plots on different planes and development of secondary flows were visualized through this study.
