Abstract
Dimples are employed on the exterior surface of the lifting pipe which is in the shape of a riser for reduction of drag forces. Water flow around a lifting pipe (circular cylinder) with exterior surface dimples is numerically predicted using version 6.3.26 of FLUENT. This numerical simulation is conducted in 3 cases. Case 1 shows the increases of momentum transportation in the dimple. Case 2 presents the validation of this simulation and the flow structure around the cylinder. And the flow structure in the dimple of the cylinder is investigated in Case 3. Spherical medium dimples (the dimple depth/the dimple print diameter=0.2) are located on the exterior of a circular cylinder. The new design presented in this research shows the lower drag coefficient of a dimpled cylinder compared to the data of a circular bare cylinder and velocity distribution is investigated in the dimple. This result is applied for design of the new lifting pipes and flexible hoses.
항력을 감소시키기 위하여, 심해저 채광을 위한 라이저 형태의 양광관 외부표면에 딤플구조를 사용하 였다. 양광관(원형실린더) 주위의 유체유동을 FLUENT 버전 6.3.26을 이용하여 예측하였다. 수치 해석은 3가지 경우에서 수행하였으며, Case 1은 딤플내에서 운동량 이송의 증가를 보여주었고, Case 2는 수치해석의 타당성 및 원형실린더 주위의 유동구조를 제시하였다. Case 3에서는 실린더 딤플 내에서의 유동구조를 분석하였다.심해저 망간간괴를 양광하는 파이프 외벽의 딤플구조는 본 연구에서는 원형의 중간형태의 딤플(딤플 깊이/딤플프린트 지름 = 0.2)을 사용하였으며, 이 딤플은 원형실린더 외벽에 위치한 형태이다. 이 연구에 제시된 새로운디자인의 딤플실린더는 원형의 실린더보다 낮은 항력계수를 보여주었고 딤플내의 속도 분포를 제시하였다. 이 결과는 저항력의 새로운 양광관 및 유연관 설계에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
