The computational flow analysis using LES technique was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of a RAC chassis consisting of a rear-guider, a stabilizer and a cross-flow fan. The commercial SC/Tetra software was used in this analysis. In view of the results so far achieved, the distribution trends of static pressure and velocity vector of central region except the edges of a CFFan are similar regardless of the number of revolution, and an eccentric vortex exists around the bottom blade of a CFFan. Also, a reverse flow is found in the region between stabilizer and CFFan. Moreover, near the edges of a CFFan, an eccentric vortex is separated to two vortexes. Also these vortexes increase the velocity near a rear-guider, and guide the flow near a rear-guider into stabilizer inlet. Therefore, the reverse flow region is formed in the bottom of a CFFan.

The subcavity passive control technique is used in present study. Cavity-induced pressure oscillation has been investigated numerically for a supersonic three-dimensional flow over rectangular cavities at Mach number 1.83 at the cavity entrance. Time dependent supersonic turbulent flow over cavity were examined by using the three-dimensional, mass-averaged Navier-Stokes equations based on a finite volume scheme and large eddy simulation. The results showed that the resultant amount of attenuation of cavity-induced pressure oscillations was dependent on the length and thickness of the flat plate.

The objective of this work is to study various vortical structures from controlled circular jet such as trifurcating and blooming jets. The numerical simulations of flow from a circular jet are carried out at $Re_D=4300$ based on the jet-exit velocity and jet diameter using large eddy simulation with the dynamic Smagorinsky model in a cylindrical coordinate system. The excitation for the controlled jet is achieved by combining axial and helical excitations. The axial velocity controlled by blowing and suction at the jet exit has several peaks in their cycle with respect to ratio of axial to helical excitations. This active control changes the spreading angle and vortical structures in the downstream region.

ESPR project started in 1999 with METI and NEDO support as five-years program in order to develop necessary technologies for the next-generation SST engine. In ESPR program, jet noise reduction technologies are focused as environmentally compatible technologies, which are critical to realize next-generation SST. In designing a lobed mixer nozzle which is a jet noise suppression system, there are many difficulties to understand the detailed flow phenomena occurred in the system because of its complexity. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was applied to the lobed mixer nozzle flow analysis in ESPR project. The results demonstrated that LES approach was capable of predicting mixing characteristics of a complicated flow.

FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)는 국내에서 화재해석을 위해 사용되고 있는 가장 보편적인 소프트웨어 중의 하나이다. 미국의 NIST에서 25년간 지속적인 업그레이드를 통해 개발되어 오고 있으며 인터넷 상에서 무료로 배포되고 있어 전 세계의 화재관련 연구자 및 학생들이 연구 및 학습의 목적으로 사용하고 긴 기간동안 많은 전문가들에 의해 검증되어온 소프트웨어이다. 하지만 FDS가 난류해석을 위해 사용하고 있는 Smagorinsky의 LES(Large Eddy Simulation)모델은 현재까지 발표된 LES모델 중 가장 초기의 모델로서 건축물과 같이 복잡한 형상을 갖는 계산영역에서는 결과의 신뢰성이 많이 떨어지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 FDS의 대공간의 화재해석 성능을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 스페인 Murcia에서 수행된 Murcia Atrium Fire Test를 해석 대상으로 하여 FDS가 사용하고 있는 Smagorinsky의 LES모델 및 3가지의 다른 LES모델을 사용하여 대공간 내부의 연기유동을 해석하였으며 그 결과를 비교하였다.

This paper is a study for accurate iron loss calculation of a cylindrical linear machine for free piston engine. This study presents that it is possible to accurately predict power loss in ferromagnetic laminations under magnetic flux by specially considering the dependence of hysteresis, classical, and excess loss components on the magnetic induction derivative. Significant iron loss in the armature core will not only compromise the machine efficiency, but may also result in excessive heating, which could lead to irreversible deterioration in the machine performance. Thus, correct prediction of power losses under a distorted flux waveform is therefore an important prerequisite to machine design, particularly when dealing with large apparatus where stringent efficiency standards are required. Finally, it will be discussed about the iron loss in various materials of cylindrical linear electric machine by geometric and electrical parameters. It will give elaborate information about the perfect design and design rules of cylindrical linear machine and in parallel tools for the calculation, simulation and design will be available.

Wall-bounded 유동과 달리 자유 전단 유동은 Hyperbolic Tangent Profile을 가지고 비점성 불안정에 의해 지배된다. 따라서 자유 전단 유동에서 난류로의 천이과정은 비점성 불안정성 이론에 의해 해석되어 진다. 본 연구는 분리판(Splitter plate)에 의해 분리된 속도가 다른 자유 유속의 혼합에 의해 형성되는 혼합층에서 와류병합과정에 대한 속도비의 영향에 대하여 연구한다. 속도비는, R, $ \frac{U_1-U_2}{U_1+U_2}$ 로 정의되며, 여기서 $U_1$은 분리판 위에서의 자유 유속을 그리고 $U_2$ 는 분리판 아래에서의 자유 유속을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서 와류구조의 병합작용을 분석하기 위하여 2차원 비정상 Large-Eddy Simulation 방법을 적용하였다. 속도비의 변화에 따라 혼합층에서 불안정 Wave가 성장하게 되고, 유체는 2차원 와류구조에서 Roll-up한다. 이러한 2차원 와류구조는 주위의 다른 와류구조와 상호작용을 하게 되고 하나의 커다란 와류구조를 형성하는 것을 볼 수 있다. 혼합층에서 와류병합과정은 반복적으로 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이 결과를 이용하여 혼합층의 성장을 제어할 수 있다.

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art in the numerical evaluation of wind loads on buildings. Important aspects of numerical modeling including (i) turbulence modeling, (ii) inflow boundary conditions, (iii) ground surface roughness, (iv) near wall treatments, and (vi) quantification of wind loads using the techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are summarized. Relative advantages of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) over Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and hybrid RANS-LES over LES are discussed based on physical realism and ease of application for wind load evaluation. Overall LES based simulations seem suitable for wind load evaluation. A need for computational wind load validations in comparison with experimental or field data is emphasized. A comparative study among numerical and experimental wind load evaluation on buildings demonstrated generally good agreements on the mean values, but more work is imperative for accurate peak design wind load evaluations. Particularly more research is needed on transient inlet boundaries and near wall modeling related issues.

This is the continuation of a numerical study on vortex shedding from a blunt trailing-edge of a hydrofoil. In our previous work (Lee et al., 2015), numerical schemes for efficient computations were successfully implemented; i.e. multiple domains, the approximation of domain boundary conditions using cubic spline functions, and particle-based domain decomposition for better load balancing. In this study, numerical results through a hybrid particle-mesh method which adopts the Vortex-In-Cell (VIC) method and the Brinkman penalization model are further rigorously validated through comparison to experimental data at the Reynolds number of $2{\times}10^6$. The effects of changes in numerical parameters are also explored herein. We find that the present numerical method enables us to reasonably simulate vortex shedding phenomenon, as well as turbulent wakes of a hydrofoil.

In order to identify positive or negative effect of seawall on wind turbine, a wind tunnel experiment has been conducted with a 1/100 scaled-down model of Goonsan wind farm which is located in West coast along seawall. Wind speedup due to the slope of seawall contributed to about 3% increment of area-averaged wind speed on rotor-plane of a wind turbine which is anticipated to augment wind power generation. From the turbulence measurement and flow visualization, it was confirmed that there would be no negative effect due to flow separation because its influence is confined below wind turbine blades' sweeping height.
