Numerical research has been done for the transverse jet behind a rearward-facings step in turbulent supersonic flow without chemical reaction. Purpose of transverse jet is to enhance mixing of the fuel in the combustor. Two-dimensional unsteady flowfields generated by slot injection into supersonic flow are numerically simulated with the Navier-Stokes equations with two-equation k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. Numerical method is used high-order upwind TVD scheme. Eight cases are computed for different slot momentum flux ratios and slot position at downstream of the step. The flow is very similar to the cavity flow, because the jet acts as an obstacle. The numerical results thus show the periodic phenomenon.

A passive control method of the interaction between a weak normal shock-wave and a turbulent boundary-layer was simulated using two-dimensional Navier-Stokes computations. The inflow Mach number just upstream of the normal shock wave was 1.33. A porous plate wall having a cavity underneath was used to control the shock-wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction. The flows through the porous holes and inside the cavity were investigated to get a better understanding of the flow physics involved in this kind of passive control method. The present computations were validated by some recent wind tunnel tests. The results showed that downstream of the rear leg of the $\lambda$-shock wave the main stream inflows into the cavity, but upstream of the rear leg of the $\lambda$-shock wave the flow proceeds from the cavity toward to the main stream. The flow through the porous holes did not choke fur the present shock/boundary layer interaction.

In this study, flow and structural computational analysis were performed to investigate the structural safety of the lightweight butterfly valve disc designed by topology optimization. After flow analysis, as the opening angle increased, the flow coefficient increased non-linearly and showed a gentle slop. When the opening angle was 12 degree, the cavitation could be predicted. After FE analysis, all FE von-Misses stresses of the lightweight disc were smaller than the yield strength of the material, and all FE maximum deformations were also smaller than the conservative deformation of the previous study. Ultimately, it was confirmed that the structural safety of the lightweight valve disc based on computational analysis is effective.

The effects of free surface on vortex shedding phenomena around a bluff body were studied by both numerical simulation and flow visualization experiments. A vortex method, which approximates the vorticity field as the sum of discrete vortices; was used for the numerical simulation. Flow visualization experiments were performed in the KRISO cavitation tunnel. Hydrogen bubble was used as illumination material. Free surface elevation was also measured during experiments. The hydrodynamic drag and lift were predicted by numerical simulation. The predicted period of vortex shedding was compared with the results of experiments.

This paper deals with numerical computations of cryogenic flows around turbopump inducer. Firstly, we introduce numerical methods to compute compressible/incompressible cryogenic two-phase flow. As a validation problem, computation results of 2 dimensional/axi-symmetric cryogenic flow will be presented. In this process, various cavitation model will be compared. Finally, numerical simulation of 3 dimensional turbopump inducer will be presented.

A numerical analysis of steady/unsteady flow applying cavitation model and moving mesh method was carried out in order to analyze flow and response characteristics inside the pilot valve which controls the flight actuator system. The flow of the valve was assessed according to operation temperature and time. This research has found that valve characteristics became stable at above a specific temperature and the cavitation affected valve's performance. Internal pressure and response characteristics of the valve were analyzed and flow characteristics of steady and developed unsteady flow were confirmed to be matched each other.

A numerical code for cavitation is developed based on pressure-based algorithm. The k-\varepsilon$ model (with wall function) is used for turbulence, and volume transport equation is used for cavitation model. The compressibility is not considered for the flow field is low speed.

캐비테이션 현상은 고 유속 환경에서 발생(inception), 성장(growth), 붕괴(collapse) 및 소멸(disappearance) 과정이 반복적으로 일어나며 그 과정에서 기포붕괴에 따른 큰 충격압력을 방지하려는 분야와 이를 능동적으로 산업분야에 적용하려는 분야로 크게 대별된다. 본 연구에서는 캐비테이션의 붕괴거동을 수중 초음파 진동자에서 미세기포를 발생시켜 PIV기법을 이용하여 유동장을 계측하였다. 초음파 진동자는 직경 16 mm이며, 진동주파수는 20 kHz, 진폭은 $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$ 및 $50{\mu}m$를 각각 적용하였다. 유동구조, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력에 대한 통계적 유동정보를 계측한 결과 충격압력의 원인으로 알려진 캐비티 붕괴로 인해 유동특성을 확인하였다.

When a ship propeller having wing type sections rotates at high speed underwater, local pressure on the blade decreases and various types of the cavitation inevitably occur where the local pressure falls below the vapor pressure. Fundamentally characteristics of the cavitation are determined by the shapes of the blade section and their operating conditions. Underwater noise radiated from a ship propeller is directly connected to the occurrence of the cavitation. In order to design low noise propeller, it is preferentially demanded to figure out key features: how the cavity is generated, developed and collapsed and how the effect of viscosity works in the process. In this study, we first perform inviscid analysis of the partial cavity generated on two dimensional hydrofoil. Secondly, viscous analysis using FLUENT with different turbulence and cavitation models are presented. Results from both approaches are also compared and estimated.
