The performance of UV reactor which is used in water treatment is strongly affected by UV fluence rate and water flow in the UV reactor. Therefore, CFD tools are widely used in designing process of UV reactors. This paper describes the development of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methodology that can be used to calculate the performance of open channel type UV reactor used in wastewater treatment plant. All computations were performed using commercial CFD code, CFX, by considering three dimensional, steady, incompressible flow. The Eulerian-Eulerian multi-phase method were used to capture the water-air interface. The MSSS model, provided by UVCalc3D, was used to calculate the UV intensity field. The numerical predictions and calculated UV Dose were compared with experimental dataset to validate the CFD methodology. The reactor performance based on MS2 log reduction was well matched with measurements within 6%.

For the first time, the present study has measured the velocity distribution function in circular open channel flow in a three-dimensional shape using a stereoscopic PIV system. For a given channel slope, water depth was varied from 30% to 80% of the channel diameter. Then, the characteristics of the velocity distribution function was compared according to the change of the water depth. Unlike a rectangular channel, the present experiment exhibited quite different shapes in the velocity distribution function whether the water depth is higher than 50% or not. Especially, the position of maximum velocity in the central and side wall changes in a different manner for the water depth above 50%. By differentiating the velocity distribution function, local wall friction coefficient was evaluated as a function of wall position. If the water depth goes down, the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the local wall friction coefficient increases, and the averaged value a1so increases.

The HANARO, a multi-purpose research reactor of 30 MWth, open-tank-in-pool type, has been under normal operation since its initial criticality in February, 1995. The HANARO is composed of inlet plenum, grid plate, core channel with flow tubes and chimney. The reactor core channel is located at about twelve m (12 m) depth of the reactor pool and cold by the upward flow that the coolant enters the lower inlet of the plenum, rises up through the grid plate and the core channel and exit through the outlet of chimney. A guide tube is extended from the reactor core to the top of the reactor chimney for easily un/loading a target under the reactor normal operation. But active coolant through the core can be Quickly raised up to the top of the chimney through the guide tube by jet flow. This paper is described an analytical analysis to study the flow behavior through the guide tube under reactor normal operation and unloading the target. As results, it was conformed through the analysis results that the flow rate, about fourteen kilogram per second (14 kg/s) suppressed the guide tube jet and met the design cooling flow rate in a circular flow tube, and that the fission moly target cooling flow rate met the minimum flow rate to cool the target.

본 연구에서는 OpenFOAM에서 제공하는 소스코드를 이용하여 매끄러운 하상의 직사각형 개수로 흐름에 대해 수치모의를 수행하였다. 난류 해석을 위해 LES를 수행하였는데, 비등방성 잔여 응력항을 모델링하기 위해서 Germano et al. (1991)이 제시한 Dynamic Subgrid-scale 모형을 이용하였다. 조직구조를 분석하기 위하여 Lu and Willmarth (1973)가 제시한 uw 사분면기법을 이용하여 순간레이놀즈 응력이 레이놀즈 응력에 미치는 영향을 기여율과 시간비로 나누어 분석하였다. LES 모의 결과를 토대로 기존 실험 및 DNS 모의 결과와 비교하고 분석하였다. 매끈한 하상을 가진 개수로 흐름에서 완충층 이후의 구간에서 분출현상이 쓸기현상에 비해 레이놀즈 응력의 양의 생성에 기여하는 바가 크지만, 분출현상에 비해 쓸기현상의 발생빈도가 큰 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 개수로 분류부에서 분류수로 폭과 유량비 변화에 따른 흐름특성을 파악하였다. 2차류 영향을 고려한 분류부 수치모의시 흐름분포를 실험결과에 더 정확하고 안정하게 모의가능하다. 분류수로내 통수능을 감소시키는 흐름분리구역과 2차류의 상호 작용에 의한 흐름정체 효과는 분류유량비를 감소시킨다. 분류부 상류 유입유량과 유속이 감소할수록 수로폭 변화에 따른 분류유량비 변화가 더 크다. 동일 하류단 경계조건에서 분류수로 폭을 감소시킬 때, 본류 하류부 프루우드 수-분류유량비 관계식의 변화율은 -2.4843~-2.6675로 유사하게 나타난다. 동일 분류유량비 조건에서 분류수로 폭이 감소할수록 수축계수는 증가하고, 흐름분리구역의 폭은 감소한다. 분류수로 폭을 증가시킬 경우 분류부 상류 유입유량이 적을수록, 그리고 분류부 상류 유입량을 증가시킬 경우 분류수로 폭이 좁을수록 흐름분리구역 폭 감소율이 더 크다. 동일 상류 유입유량 조건에서 분류수로 폭이 감소할수록 분류유량비, 흐름분리구역의 길이와 폭은 감소한다.

For a hydro turbine electricity generation system in river or bay, a venturi system could be applied to accelerate flow speed at the inlet of the turbine system in a flow field. In this study, a steady flow simulation was conducted to understand the effect of venturi system on the acceleration of current speed at the inlet of a hydro turbine system. According to the continuity equation, the flow speed is inversely proportional to the cross-section area in a conduit flow; however, it would be different in an open region because the venturi system would be an obstruction in the flow region. As the throat area is 1/5 of the inlet area of the venturi, the flow velocity is accelerated up to 2.1 times of the inlet velocity. It is understood that the venturi system placed in an open flow region gives resistance to the upcoming flow and disperses the flow energy around the venturi system. The result of the study should be very important information for an optimum design of a hydro turbine electricity generation system.

The ultimate objective of this study is to develop a water turbine appropriate for low-head open channels to effectively utilize the unused hydropower energy of rivers and agricultural waterways. The application of a cross-flow runner to open channels as an undershot water turbine has been considered and, to this end, a significant simplification was attained by removing the turbine casing. However, the flow field of an undershot cross-flow water turbine possesses free surfaces, and, as a result, the water depth around the runner changes with variation in the rotational speed such that the flow field itself is significantly altered. Thus, clear understanding of the flow fields observed with free surfaces to improve the performance of this turbine is necessary. In this study, the performance of this turbine and the flow field were evaluated through experiments and numerical analysis. The particle image velocimetry technique was used for flow measurements. The experimental results reflecting the performance of this turbine and the flow field were consistent with numerical analysis. In addition, the flow fields at the inlet and outlet regions at the first and second stages of this water turbine were clarified.

본 연구에서는 부분 식생된 개수로에서 평균흐름 및 난류구조에 관한 수치모의 결과를 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 식생항력항이 포함된 레이놀즈 평균 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 수치해석 하였고 난류 모형으로 비선형 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형을 이용하였다. 제시된 모형을 Nezu and Onitsuka (2001)의 실험수로에 적용하여 모의된 결과를 실험 계측자료 및 Kang and Choi (2006)의 Reynolds stress model 모의결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과와 비교한 결과에 따르면, 비선형 k-${\varepsilon}$ 모형이 평균흐름의 대체적인 경향을 잘 모의하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 식생 영역과 비식생 영역의 경계면에서 쌍와 (twin vortices)가 생성되고 난류강도와 레이놀즈 응력의 최대점이 위치하는 것을 확인하였다. 레이놀즈 응력에 대해서는 경향은 잘 모의하지만 정량적으로 과소 산정하는 것으로 나타났다.

A numerical flow-field analysis is performed to investigate flow configurations in the anode, cathode and cooling channels on the bipolar plates of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Continuous open-faced flow channels are formed on the bipolar plate surface to supply hydrogen, air and water. In this analysis, two types of channel pattern are considered: serpentine and spiral. The averaged pressure distribution and velocity profiles of the hydrogen, air and water channels are calculated by two-dimensional flow-field analysis. The equations for the conservation of mass and momentum in the two-dimensional fluid flow analysis are slightly modified to include the characteristics of the PEMFC. The analysis results indicate that the serpentine flow-fields are locally unstable (because two channels are cross at right angles). The spiral flow-fields has more stable than the serpentine, due to rotational fluid-flow inertia forces. From this study, the spiral channel pattern is suggested for a channel pattern of the bipolar plate of the PEMFC to obtain better performance.
