To be able to apply this type of pump in the world, which is different in power frequency, this study uses the affinity law to redesign the impeller geometry of the single-channel pump optimized from the previous work. Meanwhile, the volute is designed by two methods which are the affinity law and the cutting diameter method. The numerical approach is performed by using steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and a shear stress transport reattachment modification (SST k-ω) turbulence model. The hydraulic efficiency curves and internal flow field including contours and streamlines are investigated and evaluated thoroughly. The numerical result is verified by the experimental test based on the 11SUPth/SUPAPI610 standard. At the design flow rate condition, the novel pump models meet the design requirement with a minimum total head coefficient. The efficiency of the novel models remains almost unchanged compared to the base model. The sweep area of the unsteady radial force distribution in the novel models is smaller than that of the base model at low flow rate and design flow rate conditions while at high flow rate conditions show the opposite. In addition, the distance between the center of the radial force and the origin of the novel models is also reduced compared to the base model. The pressure amplitudes of the novel models are also decreased significantly. These improvements in the novel models mostly result in the reduction in noise and vibration in pump operation.","PeriodicalId":491641,"journal":{"name":"한국유체기계학회 논문집","volume":"37 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leak detection is important to ensure safety of nuclear power plants. Currently, a detection system for an unidentified reactor coolant system(RCS) leakage of less than 0.5gpm is being developed in Korea. The RCS leakage is detected through changes in radioactivity, humidity, and temperature in the containment air, and water level of sump. For small leaks, the change in humidity and temperature due to water vapor is very small, making the leak very difficult to detect until the leak accumulates in the instrument.BR In order to solve these problems and increase the leak detection speed, it is necessary to develop a system capable of real-time detection using artificial intelligence. In this study, long short-term memory and bidirectional long short-term memory, which are types of recurrent neural networks among artificial intelligence methods, were applied to perform initial relative humidity prediction for leakage quantification. Also, an optimization technique that reduces learning time and improves prediction performance for the optimization of learning was applied. Finally, the prediction performance was evaluated using the developed model.","PeriodicalId":491641,"journal":{"name":"한국유체기계학회 논문집","volume":"38 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was conducted to investigate the aerodynamic behavior. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS)-based turbulence model was utilized for numerical simulations, and the results were compared with Fraunhofer’s Blade Elementary Momentum Theory (BEMT) results. The aerodynamic performance characteristics of the rotor blades were evaluated using three turbulence models: Spalart Allmaras (S-A), standard k-ω, and Shear Stress Transform (SST) k-ω. The turbulence models demonstrated good agreement with the BEMT results at wind speeds below the rated power. However, under rated power wind speed conditions, the S-A and standard k-ω turbulence models exhibited an underprediction of aerodynamic performance. This discrepancy was attributed to an overestimation of the flow delamination point and recirculation region near the blade hub. Therefore, it is recommended to employ the SST k-ω turbulence model, which accurately captures turbulence phenomena both inside and outside the boundary layer, for rated power speed conditions.","PeriodicalId":491641,"journal":{"name":"한국유체기계학회 논문집","volume":"3 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To develop such a system, it is necessary to understand the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the system. This study established a CFD-based evaluation process for evaluating leak detection systems. A numerical analysis model was used to simulate leakage, and a two-step CFD analysis was performed to assess its applicability. In the first step, a study of the leakage behavior in the insulation material was conducted, and the effect of the gap between the pipe insulation material and the outer cover was evaluated. In the second step, the collection loop was analyzed using the results of the leakage behavior analysis in the insulation as an input condition.

In this study, an optimal canopy shape inducing the stack effect was designed to enhance the heat removal performance of camera systems installed on naval vessels. Through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, a reduction of approximately 2.3℃ in the component temperature, measured by maximum temperature inside the camera sensor, was confirmed compared to the existing shape. The improvement in cooling performance is derived from the increased flow rated facilitated by natural convection, and it was observed that natural circulation flow rate significantly increases non-linearly as the curvature radius decrease, with a concurrent 43.76% increase in heat transfer rate.

CFD analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of geometrical modification on the operating condition of regenerative blowers like head, power, and efficiency. The geometry modification of the regenerative blower is achieved by varying the impeller blade curvature radius, blade inclination angle, blade shape (curved, radially straight, and chevron), and impeller disk side gap passage shape. The various impeller blades and impeller disk side gap passage designs were selected and conducted the CFD analysis to evaluate the regenerative blower performance and internal flow behavior.

Numerical analysis was conducted for four different cases to examine the impact of impeller blade fillet radii on compressor aerodynamics, including a clean edge case without a hub fillet and three cases with varying fillet radii between 1.02 mm and 4.57 mm. In addition, the natural frequency changes due to the increase in fillet radius were analyzed using pre-stressed modal analysis that incorporated the effect of stiffness variation due to centrifugal force, along with static structural analysis for stress evaluation. The results show that the aerodynamic performance increases as the fillet radius is minimized as much as possible. Additionally, results have verified that adjusting the fillet radius can alter the resonance margin.

This study investigated a method to reduce computational costs involved in predicting the performance of honeycomb labyrinth seals using artificial neural networks(ANN) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD). Firstly, the central composite design, one of the design of experiment(DOE), was used to analyze the effects of various geometrical parameters on the leakage performance. The influences of geometric parameters were comparatively analyzed using a Pareto chart, and it was confirmed that clearance, tooth width, pitch, and honeycomb cell diameter were statistically significant(i.e. influential) parameters. Then, CFD simulation was performed using the combination of the selected geometric parameters and operating conditions, generating the database for the ANN to train. The high accuracy of the ANN’s prediction was confirmed by comparing its results with CFD simulations using mean squared error(MSE) and root mean squared error(RMSE).
