Ultrasonic flow metering(UFM) technology is being received much attention from a variety of industrial fields to exactly measure the flow rate. The UFM has much advantage over other conventional flow meter systems, since it has no moving parts, and offers good accuracy and reliability without giving any disturbances to measure the flow rate, thereby not causing pressure losses in the flow fields. In the present study, 3-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite volume scheme, based upon the second order upwind scheme for spatial derivatives and the multi-stage Runge-Kutta integral method for time derivatives. In order to simulate multi-path ultrasonic flow meter, an excited pressure signal is applied to three different locations upstream, and the pressure signals are received at three different locations downstream. The mean flow velocities are calculated by the time difference between upstream and downstream propagating pressure signals. The obtained results show that the present CFD method simulates successfully ultrasonic meter gas flow and the mean velocity measured along the chord near the wall is considerably influenced by the boundary layers.

The program on thermal-hydraulic evaluation by testing and analysis (THETA) for the development and licensing of the new design features in the APR1400 (Advanced Power Reactor-1400) is briefly introduced with a presentation on the research motivation and typical results of the separate effect tests and analyses of the major design features. The first part deals with multi-dimensional phenomena related to the safety analysis of the APR1400. One research area is related to the multidimensional behavior of the safety injection (SI) water in a reactor pressure vessel downcomer that uses a direct vessel injection type of SI system. The other area is associated with the condensation of steam jets and the resultant thermal mixing in a water pool; these phenomena are relevant to the depressurization of a reactor coolant system (RCS). The second part describes our efforts to develop new components for safety enhancements, such as a fluidic device as a passive SI flow controller and a sparger to depressurize the RCS. This work contributes to an understanding of the new thermal-hydraulic phenomena that are relevant to advanced reactor system designs; it also improves the prediction capabilities of analysis tools for multi-dimensional flow behavior, especially in complicated geometries.

Three-dimensional numerical analysis of the flow around rectangular cylinders with various side ratios, D/H, from 0.2 to 2.0, was carried out for Reynolds number of 10³ by using a multi-directional finite difference method on a regular-arranged multi-grid. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data. It is found that fluid dynamic characteristics of rectangular cylinders alternate between the high-pressure mode and the low-pressure mode of the base pressure for D/H=0.2-0.6. We show that this phenomenon is induced by the change of the flow pattern around rectangular cylinders.

Numerical analysis has been conducted to simulate pedestrian flow in the model of two-storied subway station. Because almost all the subway stations are two or three storied structure, simulations are conducted for the passengers those who get off the train and pass the wicket. Passenger flow analysis is very important factor to design the station and also to manage the operation of subway system. In the subway station, pedestrians move to the horizontal directions as well as vertical ones. Therefore, to consider the movement of pedestrians is necessary for the guarantee of safety and conveniency. As the up and down floors are connected with step, escalator and elevator, the entire movements in the multi-storied station should be simulated as like a 3-dimensional flow. Numerical schemes for the directional sweeping are developed to prevent the dependency on physical structure of station and to determine primary direction and secondary one. By using the developed program, we compared the simulation results of the effects of the location and size of exit and elapsed time.

This paper presents a numerical model of multi phase flow of the mixtures of molten material-liquid-vapor, particularly in thermal nonequilibrium. It is a two-dimensional, transient, three-fluid model in Eulerian coordinates. The equations are solved numerically using the finite difference method that implicitly couples the rates of phase changes, momentum, and energy exchange to determine the pressure, density, and velocity fields. To examine the model's ability to predict an experimental data, calculations have been performed for tests of pouring hot particles and molten material into a water pool. The predictions show good agreement with the experimental data. It appears, however, that the interfacial heat transfer and breakup of molten material need improved models that can be applied to such high temperature, high pressure, multi phase flow conditions.

Direct numerical solution for flow and heat transfer for Benard convection with a body is obtained using an accurate and efficient Fourier-Chebyshev collocation and multi-domain method. The flow and temperature fields are obtained fur different Rayleigh numbers and thermal boundary conditions of body. The body has adiabatic and constant temperature conditions. The existence of a body gives different flow and heat transfer fields in the system, compared to pure Benard convection. The flow and temperature fields are also affected by the thermal boundary condition of a body.

수리구조물의 효과적 운영과 홍수기 피해저감을 위해서는 하천수리특성에 대한 적절한 이해가 필수적이며, 다차원모형의 적용을 통해 그 목적을 달성할 수 있다. 그러나 다차원모형 적용은 방대한 자료와 많은 분석시간을 요구하여 실무적용에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 유역유출모형 및 1차원 수리모형과 다차원모형의 연계모의 기법을 제안하고 실제 하천에 대한 적용성을 검증하고자 하였다. 다차원 수리모형으로 EFDC를 이용하였으며, 모의를 위한 경계조건 결정을 위한 유역유출모형과 1차원수리모형으로 COSFIM과 FLDWAV를 이용하였다. 다차원모형의 연계적용기법을 통하여 기존의 선단위 지점단위 정보 뿐 아니라 공간 격자단위 정보를 제공 받을 수 있어 하천에서의 물리적 현상을 고려한 공간적 수리특성을 반영한 하천관리가 가능할 것이다.

천수방정식의 수치모형에 MLP(Multi dimensional Limiting Process)기법을 적용한 후 수치모의를 통해 MLP의 수치 진동 제어 성능을 검증하였다. MLP기법은 2, 3차원에서 기존의 TVD 제어자(limiter)들보다 안정적이며 정확한 수치모의를 가능하게 한다. 다차원에서 정확하고 안정적인 수치모의가 가능하도록 개발된 MLP기법은 압축성 유체를 표현하는 2, 3차원 오일러 방정식에 적용되어 기존의 제어자들에 비해 그 뛰어난 성능이 검증된 바 있다. 하지만 천수방정식에 적용된 예는 없으며, 이에 본 연구는 천수방정식에 MLP를 적용하고 천수방정식 수치모형 검증에 주로 사용되는 수치모의를 통해 MLP의 진동 제어 성능을 검증하였다. 모의 결과, MLP는 2차원 천수방정식에 있어서도 기존의 제어자들과 비교하여 수치진동을 보다 잘 제어하는 것으로 판단된다. MLP 사용으로 인해 불연속면 근처에서 정확도가 향상되었고 수치진동이 발생하지 않아 보다 안정적인 모의가 하게 되었다.

The CUPID code has been developed at KAERI for a transient, three-dimensional analysis of a two-phase flow in light water nuclear reactor components. It can provide both a component-scale and a CFD-scale simulation by using a porous media or an open media model for a two-phase flow. In this paper, recent advances in the CUPID code are presented in three sections. First, the domain decomposition parallel method implemented in the CUPID code is described with the parallel efficiency test for multiple processors. Then, the coupling of CUPID-MARS via heat structure is introduced, where CUPID has been coupled with a system-scale thermal-hydraulics code, MARS, through the heat structure. The coupled code has been applied to a multi-scale thermal-hydraulic analysis of a pool mixing test. Finally, CUPID-SG is developed for analyzing two-phase flows in PWR steam generators. Physical models and validation results of CUPID-SG are discussed.

Metal cutting operations involve generation of heat due to friction between the tool and the pieces. This heat needs to be carried away otherwise it creates white spots. To reduce this abnormal heat cutting fluid is used. Cutting fluid also has an important role in the lubrication of the cutting edges of machine tools and the pieces they are shaping, and in sluicing away the resulting swarf. As a cutting fluid, water is a great conductor of heat but is not stable at high temperatures, so to improve stability an emulsion type mixed fluid with water and oil is often used. It is pumped over the cutting site of cutting machines as a state of atomized water droplet coated with oil by using jet. In this paper, to develop cutting fluid supplying nozzle to obtain ultra thin oil film for coating water droplet, a numerical analysis of three dimensional mixed fluid Jet through multi-stage nozzle was carried out by using a finite volume method. Jet flow characteristics such as nozzle exit velocity, development of mixing region, re-entrance and jet intensity were analyzed. Detailed mixing process of fluids such as air, water and oil in the nozzle were also investigated. It is easy to understand complex flow pattern in multi-stage nozzle. Important flow Information for advance design of cutting fluid supplying nozzle was drawn.
