Abstract

The buoyancy and initial momentum fluxes make near-field dominated by buoyant jet when thermal discharge releases underwater. In order to estimate prediction capabilities of those near-field phenomena, non-hydrostatic RANS applied CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) model was used. Condition of model was composed based on past laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations carried out for the horizontal buoyant jet in the stagnant flow and vertical buoyant jet into crossflow. The results of simulation are compared with the terms of trajectory and dilution rate of laboratory experiments and analytic model(CorJET) results. CFD model showed a good agreement with them. CFD model can be appropriate for assessment of submerged thermal discharge effect because CFD model can resolve the limitations of near-field analytic model and far-field quasi 3D hydrodynamic model. The accuracy and capability of the CFD model is reviewed in this study. If the computational efficiency get improved, CFD model can be widely applied for simulation of transport and diffusion of submerged thermal discharge.

온배수의 수중 방류 시 강한 방류 모멘텀 플럭스와 부력 플럭스에 의해 수중제트 인근에는 부력제트가 지배적인 근역이 형성되며, 이러한 근역을 해석하는 도구로써 비정수압 RANS 방정식을 적용한 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델을 이용하여 근역에 대한 적용성을 검토해 보았다. 과거 연구된 바 있는 원형 부력제트 수리실험과 유사한 조건으로 모델을 구성하고 정류시의 수평 부력 제트 경우와 가로흐름시 수직 부력 제트 경우에 대해 수치 실험을 수행하였다. CFD 수치실험의 결과는 수리실험 및 해석해 모델(CorJET)의 결과와 무차원화한 중심 궤적 및 희석율에 대해 비교 검증하였는데, 실제 수리실험의 결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. CFD 모델은 현재 근역 해석해 모델과 광역 준3차원 해수유동 모델이 가지고 있는 한계를 모두 보완할 수 있어 수중방류 온배수 영향해석에 적합한 모델이며, 본 연구를 통해 근역해석의 적합성을 확인하였으므로 향후 계산효율이 확보된다면 수중방류 온배수의 이동 및 확산 해석 도구로써 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
