By using numerical simulation, vast and detailed information and observation of the physics of flow over a train model can be obtained. However, the accuracy of the numerical results is questionable as it is affected by grid convergence error. This paper describes a systematic method of computational grid refinement for the Unsteady Reynolds Navier-Stokes (URANS) of flow around a generic model of trains using the OpenFOAM software. The sensitivity of the computed flow field on different mesh resolutions is investigated in this paper. This involves solutions on three different grid refinements, namely fine, medium, and coarse grids to investigate the effect of grid dependency. The level of grid independence is evaluated using a form of Richardson extrapolation and Grid Convergence Index (GCI). This is done by comparing the GCI results of various parameters between different levels of mesh resolutions. In this study, monotonic convergence criteria were achieved, indicating that the grid convergence error was progressively reduced. The fine grid resolution's GCI value was less than 1%. The results from a simulation of the finest grid resolution, which includes pressure coefficient, drag coefficient and flow visualization, are presented and compared to previous available data.

A size-dependent novel hyperbolic shear deformation theory of simply supported functionally graded beams is presented in the frame work of the non-local strain gradient theory, in which the stress accounts for only the nonlocal strain gradients stress field. The thickness stretching effect (${\varepsilon}_z{\neq}0$) is also considered here. Elastic coefficients and length scale parameter are assumed to vary in the thickness direction of functionally graded beams according to power-law form. The governing equations are derived using the Hamilton principle. The closed-form solutions for exact critical buckling loads of nonlocal strain gradient functionally graded beams are obtained using Navier's method. The derived results are compared with those of strain gradient theory.

High-quality cups of deep drawing ratio of more than four cannot be simply drawn by conventional drawing and redrawing processes. In the present study, after the first deep drawing process, subsequent hydromechanical reverse redrawing with controlled radial pressure is employed. In order to increase the deep drawing ratio up to muchmore than four, the radial pressure should be controlled independently of the chamber pressure and thus an optimum forming condition can be found easily by varying the radial pressure. The process has been subjected to finite element analysis by using the rigid-platic material modeling considering all the frictional conditions induced by the hydrostatic pressure. In order to consider the pressure effect on the sheet, the pressure distributions on the flange part and the side wall part are calculated mumerically from simplified Navier-stokes equation. The comparison of the computation with the experiment has shown that the finite element modeling can be conveniently emplyed for the design of the process with reliability from the viewpoint of formability.

본 연구에서는 초음속 증기 이젝터의 작동특성을 조사하기 위하여 압축성 축대칭 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 수치계산을 행하였다. 2차 유동측의 압력 및 배압을 변화시켜 이들 압력이 혼입유량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구의 결과로부터 초음속 증기 이젝터에서 2차 유동측 압력 및 배압은 임계 혼입유량에 상당한 영향을 미치며, 1차구동노즐의 형상과 2차유동의 압력이 주어지는 경우 임계혼입 유량비를 예측할 수 있음을 알았다. 수치계산 결과는 실험에서 얻은 임계혼입유량비를 잘 예측하였다.

복합 추진장치가 포함된 경우와 포함되지 않은 경우에 축대칭 물체 주위 유동특성을 조사하기 위한 수치적 연구가 수행되었다. 비압축성 RANS 방정식을 유한체적법으로 해석하는 수치적 방법이 표준 $k-\varepsilon$ 난류모형을 이용하여 수행된다. 선체와 추진기의 상호작용은 패널법에 의하여 계산된 유기속도를 프로펠러 면에 분포하여 경계조건으로 처리하는 방법을 사용하였다. 수치적 결과로부터 얻어진 표면압력분포와 유속분포는 시험 결과와 비교된다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 수치계산 프로그램은 복합추진장치의 설계에 이용될 수 있다고 생각된다.

선체에 부착되는 부가물 주위의 유동 개선에 응용하기 위하여 평판과 스트럿이 만나는 접합부 주위에 fillet을 설치할 때 스트럿 주위의 유동이 어떤 영향을 받는 지를 수치계산을 통하여 살펴보았다. 높이 폭 비 및 곡률이 서로 다픈 5가지 형상의 fillet을 스트럿의 앞날 부근에 설치하고 각 경우에 대하여 스트럿에 작용하는 항력 및 스트럿의 후류를 계산하고 이를 비교하였다. 계산방법으로는 N-S 방정식을 풀기 위하여 MAC 방법이 사용되었고 유동은 Reynolds수 5000으로 층류이다. 계산결과 높이-폭 비가 작을 수록, 스트럿의 선단에서 만들어지는 horseshoe 보오텍스의 크기와 형상이 비슷할수록 그리고 오목한 곡률을 갖는 fillet이 스트럿의 항력 감소 및 후류를 균일하게 하는데 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

In order to control the tip vortex cavitation occurring around the tip of a rotating propeller blade, researches on the propeller cavitation and blade tip vortex flows have been increased. In this paper, the propeller tip vortex flow for a blunt and sharp tips was studied using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations solver based on a cell-centered finite volume method. In numerical open water test, torques, thrusts, pressure distributions and vortex flows were compared for various rotating speeds. To consider a hull wake, the nominal wake was specified in inlet boundary condition. Pressure distributions and vortex flows with the hull wake were investigated for various propeller rotating angles. From the results, it was confirmed that the blunt tip propeller delayed the tip vortex flow.

The two-dimensional unsteady flow around a vertical axis turbine for tidal stream energy conversion was investigated using a computational fluid dynamics tool solving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The geometry of the turbine blade section was NACA653-018 aiifoil. The computational analysis was done at several different angles of attack and the results were compared with the corresponding experimental data for validation and calibration. Simulations were then carried out for the two-dimensional cross section of a vertical axis turbine. The simulation results demonstrated the usefulness of the method for the typical unsteady flows around vertical axis turbines. The optimum turbine efficiency was achieved for carefully selected combinations of the number of blades and tip speed ratios.

In order to analyze the characteristics of propeller exciting force, the hybrid grid is adopted and the numerical prediction of KCS ship model is performed for hull-propeller-rudder system by Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method and volume of fluid (VOF) model. Firstly, the numerical simulation of hydrodynamics for bare hull at oblique state is carried out. The results show that with the increasing of the drift angle, the coefficients of resistance, side force and yaw moment are constantly increasing, and the bigger the drift angle, the worse the overall uniformity of propeller disk. Then, propeller bearing force for hull-propeller-rudder system in oblique flow is calculated. It is found that the propeller thrust and torque fluctuation coefficient peak in drift angle are greater than that in straight line navigation, and the negative drift angle is greater than the positive. The fluctuation peak variation law of coefficient of side force and bending moment are different due to various causes.

In this study, flutter analyses for supercritical airfoil have been conducted in transonic region. Advanced computational analysis system based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational structural dynamics (CSD) has been developed in order to investigate detailed static and dynamic responses of supercritical airfoil. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) and SST ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ turbulence models are solved for unsteady flow problems. A fully implicit time marching scheme based on the Newmark direct integration method is used for computing the coupled aeroelastic governing equations of cascades for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. Also, flow-induced vibration (FIV) analyses for various supercritical airfoil models have been conducted. Detailed flutter responses for supercritical are presented to show the physical performance and vibration characteristics in various angle of attack.
