In this paper, computer simulation of wind flow around a single cooling tower with louver support at the base in the KAZERUN power station in south part of IRAN is presented as a case study. ANSYS FLOTRAN, an unstructured finite element incompressible flow solver, is used for numerical investigation of wind induced pressure load on a single cooling tower. Since the effects of the wind ribs on external surface of the cooling tower shell which plays important role in formation of turbulent flow field, an innovative relation is introduced for modeling the effects of wind ribs on computation of wind pressure on cooling tower's shell. The introduced relation which follows the concept of equivalent sand roughness for the wall function is used in conjunction with two equations ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. In this work, the effects of variation in the height/spacing ratio of external wind ribs are numerically investigated. Conclusions are made by comparison between computed pressure loads on external surface of cooling tower and the VGB (German guideline for cooling tower design) suggestions.

In this study, the numerical simulation and basin model test have been performed to evaluate sea worthiness and resistance performance for a small pre-planning three type of leisure boats which are U, V, Y shapes of hull forms. As a well known commercial CFD code, Maxsurf, was applied for modeling hull forms used as the solver of motion analysis. Also the model resistance test was carried out to estimate the effective power of boat in the basin tank. Numerical simulation and model test results show that Y-shaped hull is better than the other types in terms of heave and pitch motion, having a key effect on a boat sea worthiness. But V-type hull is more efficiency than others cases in resistance performance.

본 논문은 고체 추진 로켓의 연소 중에 발생하는 고체추진체의 동적 파괴 현상 및 유체-구조 상호작용을 시뮬레이션 하기 위한 프로그램 개발에 대한 것이다. 개발된 프로그램은 구조해석을 위한 CVFE (cohesive Volumetric Finite Element) 방법과 외재적 ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) 방법을 응용한 유한요소법 코드와 유동해석을 위한 외재적 비정렬 유한 체적 오일러 코드(Explicit Unstructured Finite Volume Euler code)로 구성된다. 개발된 프로그램의 또 다른 중요한 특징은 균열의 전파와 고체추진체의 변형에 따라 생기는 추진제 형상의 대변형이 발생할 때, 새로 생긴 유체 영역에서의 격자의 확장과 복구되는 능력이다.

속도와 샤프트각 그리고 피치 변화에 따른 토크 평형상태의 자동회전에서 플래핑 거동 특성과 전진비의 변화를 조사하였다. 속도 증가에 따른 압축성 효과를 모사하기 위해 압축성 Navier-Stokes 솔버로 해석된 2차원 데이터를 Pitt/Peters 유도흐름 이론과 함께 사용하였고 토크 평형상태에 대한 세 변수의 조합을 찾기 위해 과도모사법(TSM)을 이용하였다. 토크 평형상태에서 최대 플래핑각을 속도, 샤프트각, 피치와의 관계로 나타내고 전진비 변화와 비교함으로써 후진깃의 역풍영역 확대가 로터의 자동회전 특성에 관여하는 현상을 정성적으로 고찰하였다.

Although the cut-off probe, a precise measurement method for the electron density, is widely used in the industry, the physics on the wave spectrum of the cut-off is not understood yet, only cut-off point frequency containing the information of electron density has been analyzed well. This paper analyzes the microwave frequency spectrum of the cut-off probe to see the physics behind using both microwave field simulation (CST Microwave Studio) and simplified circuit simulation. The result shows that the circuit model well reproduces the cut-off wave spectrum especially in the low frequency regime where the wavelength of the driving frequency is larger than the characteristic length and reveals the physics of transmission characteristics with frequency as resonances between vacuum, plasma and sheath. Furthermore, by controlling the time domain in solver of the microwave simulator, the cut-off like transmission peaks above the cut-off frequency which has been believed as cavity effect is verified as chamber geometry effect. The result of this paper can be used as the basis for the improvement of cut-off probe.

In this paper, we report on our theoretical study on the effect of surface anchoring. Molecular dynamics as well as optical characteristics of PVA cell are computer-simulated with 3D-FEM numerical solver, TechWiz $LCD^{(R)}$. Although simulation parameters are the same except for the consideration of surface anchoring, the simulation reveals that optical transmittance is improved by more than 8% for the weak anchoring case with comparison to the strong anchoring case. Moreover, capacitance between pixel and common electrode is 7% lower for the strong anchoring than that for the weak anchoring. This implies that there exists an appreciable difference between the strong anchoring case and the weak anchoring case. It is very important to take the effect of surface anchoring into account in order to figure out the optical characteristics of an LCD cell more accurately.

In this study, flow characteristics around the hull form of KLNG are investigated by numerical simulations. The numerical simulations of the turbulent flows with the free surface around KLNG have been carried out at Froude number 0.1964 using the FLUENT 6.3 solver with Reynolds stress turbulence model. Several GEOSIM models are adopted to consider the scale effect attendant on Reynolds number. Furthermore, a full scale ship is calculated and the result is compared with the numerical results of GEOSIM models. The calculated results of GEOSIM models and the full scale ship are compared with the experiment data of MOERI towing tank test and Inha university towing tank test. Moreover, wake distribution on the propeller plane of the full scale ship is estimated using the numerical results of GEOSIM models. The prediction result is directly compared with the simulation result in full scale.

전진 비행중인 자동회전 로터에 대한 비정상 수치해석 기법이 개발되었다. 자동회전 로터의 플래핑과 회전운동 방정식은 주어지는 시간간격에 따라 연속적으로 적분되며 이 때 회전면에서의 유도 속도장은 동적 유도흐름 이론(dynamic inflow theory)에 의해 계속 업데이트 되면서 블레이드의 모든 요소에서 유효 받음각을 결정하여 비정상 상태를 모사한다. 로터의 임의의 초기 회전속도 및 플래핑각에서 정상상태로 천이(transition)되는 과정을 시뮬레이션 하였고 블레이드 에어포일 공력 데이터들을 이용하여 방정식들의 수치해인 자동회전의 정상상태를 예측하였다. 2차원 Navier-Stokes 솔버로 받음각과 레이놀즈수에 따라 해석된 에어포일 데이터를 이용하여 자동회전의 비정상 시뮬레이션을 수행한 해석 결과는 풍동실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다

The aerodynamic effects of leading-edge accretion can raise important safety concerns since the formulation of ice causes severe degradation in aerodynamic performance as compared with the clean airfoil. The objective of this study is to develop a numerical simulation strategy for predicting the particle trajectory around an MS-0317 airfoil in the test section of the NASA Glenn Icing Research Tunnel and to investigate the impingement characteristics of droplets on the airfoil surface. In particular, predictions of the mean velocity and turbulence diffusion using turbulent flow solver and Continuous Random Walk method were desired throughout this flow domain in order to investigate droplet dispersion. The collection efficiency distributions over the airfoil surface in simulations with different numbers of droplets, various integration time-steps and particle sizes were compared with experimental data. The large droplet impingement data indicated the trends in impingement characteristics with respect to particle size ; the maximum collection efficiency located at the upper surface near the leading edge, and the maximum value and total collection efficiency were increased as the particle size was increased. The extent of the area impinged on by particles also increased with the increment of the particle size, which is similar as compared with experimental data.

Dynamic analysis is necessary for the High-Speed Railway vehicle which aims to run on max 400km/h. Especially, dynamic simulation using CAE(Computer Aided Engineering) can help to reduce the time of development of the High-Speed Railway vehicles. Also, it helps to reduce prices and improve the quality such as safety, stability and ride. There are many dynamic software for a railway vehicle, such as Vampire and ADAMS-Rail. There are limitations for each software and difficulties to analyze overall dynamics for entire railway system. To overcome these limitations, in this study, a program which can simulate entire railway vehicles was developed. This program is easy to use because it was developed using C++, which is object-oriented programming language. In addition, the basic platform for the development of dynamic solver is prepared using the nodal, modal coordinate system with a wheel-rail contact module. Rigid, flexible and large deformable body systems can be modeled by a user according to the characteristic of a desired system. Its reliability is verified by comparison with a commercial analysis program.
