A more complete two-dimensional vertical numerical model has been developed to describe the saltwater intrusion in an estuary. The model is based on the previous studies in order to obtain a better accuracy. The non-linear terms of the governing equations are analyzed and the $\sigma$-coordinate system is employed in the vertical direction with full transformation which is recently issued in several studies because numerical errors can be generated during the coordinate transformation of the diffusion term. The advection terms of the governing equations are discretized by an upwind scheme in second-order of accuracy. By employing an explicit scheme for the longitudinal direction and an implicit scheme for the vertical direction, the numerical model is free from the restriction of temporal step size caused by a relatively small grid ratio. In previous researches, some terms induced from the transformation have been intentionally excluded since they are asked the complicate discretization of the numerical model. However, the lack of these terms introduces significant errors during the numerical simulation of scalar transport problems, such as saltwater intrusion and sediment transport in an estuary. The numerical accuracy attributable to the full transformation is verified by comparing results with a previous model in a simply sloped topography. The numerical model is applied to the Han River estuary. Very reasonable agreements for salinity intrusion are observed.

Hydraulic efficiency was a vital component in evaluating the disinfection capability of clearwell. Current practice evaluates these system based on the tracer test only. In this paper, CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) was applied on the clearwell for alternating or supplementing the tracer test. The baffle factor derived from the CFD modeling closely matched the values obtained from full scale tracer testing. And, for suggesting proper numerical model in clearwell; the turbulence model, discretization scheme, convergence criteria were investigated through separate simulation runs. The model validation was conducted by comparing the simulated data with experimental data. In the turbulence model, the realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model were found to be more appropriate than RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. The residuals of convergence criteria should be used as not $10^{-3}$ but $10^{-4}$ or $10^{-5}$. In discretization scheme, the difference of simulated values in 1st, 2nd, 3rd upwind scheme was found to be insignificant. Moreover, the result of this study suggest that CFD modeling can be a reliable alternative to tracer testing for evaluating the hydraulic efficiency.

The present study addresses a computational result of unsteady gas flow through a critical nozzle. The axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible, Wavier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite volume method that makes use of the second order upwind scheme for spatial derivatives and the multi-stage Runge-Kutta integral scheme for time derivatives. The steady solutions of the governing equation system are validated with the previous experimental data to ensure that the present computational method is valid to predict the critical nozzle flows. In order to simulate the effects of back pressure fluctuations on the critical nozzle flows, an excited pressure oscillation with an amplitude and frequency is assumed downstream of the exit of the critical nozzle. The results obtained show that for low Reynolds numbers, the unsteady effects of the pressure fluctuations can propagate upstream of the throat of critical nozzle, and thus giving rise to the applicable fluctuations in mass flow rate through the critical nozzle, while for high Reynolds numbers, the pressure signals occurring at the exit of the critical nozzle do not propagate upstream beyond the nozzle throat. For very low Reynolds number, it is found that the sonic line near the throat of the critical nozzle remarkably fluctuateswith time, providing an important mechanism for pressure signals to propagate upstream of the nozzle throat, even in choked flow conditions. The present study is the first investigation to clarify the unsteady effects on the critical nozzle flows.

Secondary instability of flow past a circular cylinder is examined using direct numerical simulation at Reynolds number 220 and 250. The higher-order finite difference scheme is employed for the spatial distributions along with the second order Adams-Bashforth and the first order backward-Euler time integration. In x-y plane, the convection term is applied by the 5th order upwind scheme, and the pressure and viscosity terms are applied by the 4th order central difference. In spanwise, Navier-Stokes equation is distributed using Spectral Method. The critical Reynolds number for this instability is found to be about Re=190. The secondary instability leads re three-dimensionality with a spanwise wavelength about 4 cylinder diameters at onset (A-mode). Results of three-dimensional effect in wake of a circular cylinder are represented with spanwise and streamwise vorticity contours as Reynolds numbers.

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.

2차원 천수방정식에 기초한 조류계산 수치모델을 개발하였다. 복잡한 해안선의 입력을 단순화할 수 있는 직각격자를 사용하였으며, 방정식은 효율이 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있는 인수분해음해법(Implicit Factorization Method)에 의하여 수치적으로 풀었다. 대류항은 상류차분법으로 처리하여 수치소산이 자동적으로 들어가도록 하였으며, 따라서 수치불안정에 의한 발산을 억제할 수 있었다. 모델의 검증을 위하여 선형화된 천수방정식을 풀고 계산결과를 해석해와 비교하였으며 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 수치모델의 응용 예로서 인천항부근의 경인운하 개발예정인 수로에서의 조류 계산결과를 보였다.

The aim of this paper is to numerically explore the feasibility of designing a Mini-Hydro turbine. The interest for this kind of horizontal axis turbine relies on its versatility. For instance, in the field of renewable energy, this kind of turbine may be considered for different applications, such as: tidal power, run-of-the-river hydroelectricity, wave energy conversion. It is fundamental to improve the turbine performance and to decrease the equipment costs for achievement of "environmental friendly" solutions and maximization of the "cost-advantage". In the present work, the commercial CFD code ANSYS is used to perform 3D simulations, solving the incompressible Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (U-RANS) equations discretized by means of a finite volume approach. The implicit segregated version of the solver is employed. The pressure-velocity coupling is achieved by means of the SIMPLE algorithm. The convective terms are discretized using a second order accurate upwind scheme, and pressure and viscous terms are discretized by a second-order-accurate centered scheme. A second order implicit time formulation is also used. Turbulence closure is provided by the realizable k - turbulence model. In this study, a mini hydro turbine (3kW) has been considered for utilization of horizontal axis impeller. The turbine performance and flow behavior have been evaluated by means of numerical simulations. Moreover, the performance of the impeller varied in the pressure distribution, torque, rotational speed and power generated by the different number of blades and angles. The model has been validated, comparing numerical results with available experimental data.
