The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal distances between pipes to minimize the pressure loss and turbulent intensity. This was accomplished by investigating the distances between sleeve-jointed pipes and the flow changes in pipes based on variations in the Reynolds (Re) number when installing adjusting pieces for the pipes. When the thickness tp of the sleeve-jointed piping was fixed at 5 mm and the pipe lengths Lp were 10, 50, 100, and 200 mm, the correlations with the velocity of the sleeve-jointed part, pressure distribution, length of the reattachment point in the recirculation area, and Re number were analyzed. The flow characteristic of the sleeve-jointed part from a laminar to a turbulent flow region was determined by setting the Re range to 200 ≤ Re ≤ 5,000. This was done by utilizing Ansys Fluent 18.1, which is a commercial program. The enlargement and contraction ratios of the sleeve-jointed part were 1.2 and 0.83, respectively, and the turbulent intensity of the sleeve downstream edge and pressure change both increased as the Re number increased while Lp remained constant. The fact that the flow on the sleeve wall surface was disturbed by tp resulted in losses in velocity energy. Therefore, the edge of the sleeve-jointed part was also effected. When Lp was 10 mm or less, the turbulent intensity of the edge part did not change significantly as the Re number increased. The reattachment point in the recirculation area did not appear at Lp of 10 mm or less and was not affected by the vortex. In the case of 3,000 ≤ Re, the reattachment length of the wall surface of the sleeve-jointed part was nearly constant as Lp increased.

This Paper deals with the experimental study of the axisymmetric air jet impinging vertically on the flat heating surface with and without swirl. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of flow, augmentation of heat transfer rate, turbulent intensity, and the comparison of heat transfer rate, the optimal swirling condition about the swirl and nonswirl axisymmetric air jet. In order to augment the heat transfer on the flat heating surface without introducing any additional power, the technique used in the present work was placement of twisted tape inserted pipe in front of the nozzle exit in order to make a swirl. The effect of swirl degree is investigated in case of S=0., 0.056, 0.111, 0.222 and the velocity of the jet was 14, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44m/s. The distance between the nozle exit and the stagnation point on the impinging plate was the H/D=$1{\sim}14$. In order to analyze of the flow structure which increase heat transfer, the velocity and the turbulent intensity of the axisymmetric jet was measured by a hot wire anemometer according to the swirl number and H/D.

This paper investigates the impacts of the drag-related weighting coefficients on mean velocity and turbulence structures. The transport equations for the Reynolds stress of vegetated open-channel flows are derived by using the temporal- and horizontal-averaging scheme. It is found that the total Reynolds stress of vegetated open channel flows consists of the Reynolds stress due to temporally fluctuating velocities and the Reynolds stress due to spatially fluctuating velocities. The drag-related weighting coefficient $C_{fk}$ for the total Reynolds stress component is found to be unit, while the coefficient for the Reynolds stress due to temporally fluctuating velocities can be negligible. This is the reason why very small weighting coefficients in previous studies yield very good agreements with measured data. In other words, the Reynolds stress due to spatially fluctuating velocities remains still unknown, especially due to the large number of measuring locations. Through a developed Reynolds stress model, vegetated open-channel flows are simulated and compared with measured data from the literature. Comparisons reveal that the computed mean flow and Reynolds stress structures are hardly affected by the drag-related weighting coefficients. However, the computed turbulence intensity profiles are significant different with the drag-related weighting coefficients. A budget analysis of the transport equations for the Reynolds stress component is carried to investigate why turbulence intensity is affected by the drag-related weighting coefficients.

Dam-break flows, a type of very shallow gravity-driven flow, are substantially influenced by resistance forces due to viscous friction and turbulence. Assuming turbulent flow, the main focus of this study is to validate the increase of drag forces caused by surface roughness and especially turbulence intensity. A Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) approach with the standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is used for this study, where the free surface motion is captured by using a volume of fluid(VOF) method. Surface roughness effects are considered through the law of the wall modified for roughness, while the initial turbulence intensity which determines the lowest level of turbulence in the flow domain of interest is used for the variation of turbulence intensity. It has been found that the numerical results at higher turbulence intensities show a reasonably good agreement with the physical aspects shown by two different dam-break experiments without and with the impact of water.

This study focused on the aerodynamic loads of the horizontal axis wind turbine blade due to the normal turbulence inflow condition. Normal turbulence model (NTM) includes the variations of wind speed and direction, and it is characterized by turbulence intensity and standard deviation of flow fluctuation. IEC61400-1 recommends the fatigue analysis for the NTM and the normal wind profile (NWP) conditions. The aerodynamic loads are obtained at the blade hub and the low speed drive shaft for MW class horizontal axis wind turbine which is designed by using aerodynamically optimized procedure. The 6-components of aerodynamic loads are investigated between numerical results and load components analysis. From the calculated results the maximum amplitudes of oscillated thrust and torque for LSS with turbulent inflow condition are about 5~8 times larger than those with no turbulent inflow condition. It turns out that the aerodynamic load analysis with normal turbulence model is essential for structural design of the wind turbine blade.

하천에서 점착성 유사의 부유사는 입자 표면의 전자기적, 생화학적 점착력과 충돌에 의해 플럭(Floc)을 형성하고 응집된 플럭은 하천의 흐름 및 난류에 의해 파괴되기도 한다. 이 과정을 응집현상이라고 한다. 하천의 점착성 유사는 보통 플럭의 형태를 띠며 응집현상으로 인해 플럭의 밀도와 크기는 지속적으로 변화한다. 일반적으로 변화하는 플럭의 크기는 높은 질량 농도에서 증가한다고 알려져 있다(McAnally and Mehta, 2000; Maggi et al., 2007). 하지만 현장 연구에서 실측된 자료들은 종종 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 경향을 보여준다(Gartner et al., 2001; Fettweis et al., 2006; Todd, 2014). 이에 따라 본 연구는 현장의 실측 자료가 일반적인 연구와 다르게 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 현상을 규명하기 위해 점착성 유사의 이동을 모의하는 1차원 연직 수치 모형으로 수치 실험을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석한다. 수치 실험은 현장연구와 조건이 비슷한 이상적인 조류조건과 정류상태의 한 방향 흐름(Current Flow)을 함께 발생시키고 점착성 유사의 특징인 응집현상을 고려하였다. 모의 결과, 실측 자료와 같이 총 모의 수심 중 하상과 가까운 측정 수심에서는 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 측정 수심이 수표면 쪽으로 갈수록 플럭 크기와 농도가 비례하는 현상을 보였다. 이와 같이 서로 다른 두 가지 결과를 분석하기 위해 플럭의 크기를 결정하는 대표적인 매개변수인 농도와 난류의 강도를 나타내는 난류소산매개변수(Turbulent shear, G)를 가지고 새로운 매개변수를 만들었다. 플럭의 크기를 결정하는 방정식에서 농도는 응집의 과정에 G는 응집과 파괴의 과정에 관여한다고 알려져 있다. 새로운 매개변수로 총 모의 수심에 걸쳐 분석한 결과 하상에서 수표면 쪽으로 갈 때 난류와 농도 모두 줄어들지만 파괴와 응집의 우세를 나타내는 매개변수가 도치되는 현상을 보였다. 즉 하상부근의 강한 난류와 높은 농도가 응집현상을 만들지만 농도는 응집현상에, 난류는 응집과 파괴 모두 관여하므로 상대적으로 농도와 난류가 만들어내는 응집보다 난류가 만드는 파괴가 강할 때 플럭의 크기가 줄어드는 것으로 예측된다. 이에 따라 점착성 유사의 플럭 크기를 예측할 때에는 플럭의 크기가 농도와 선형의 관계를 가지는 것이 아닌 농도와 난류가 함께 작용하는 비선형 관계임을 고려해야 한다.

The present paper is Part 2 of three-part paper for an experimental study on breaking waves generated by a submerged cylinder. Measurements of velocity and head loss profiles at the wakes of cylinder and breaker as well as the turbulent intensities in breaking region were made to elucidate the viscous aspects of breaking waves. Their mutual correlation is also investigated. It is found that the head loss profile is an excellent indicator of the strength and extent of breaker. Very high turbulent intensities measured at and just downstream of the breaker indicate the consequence of energy transfer of wave breaking into turbulence.

An exprimental research has been carried out to find the intermittent flow pattern in the transition region of a turbulent round jet in order to elucidate detailed turbulence structure and to accumulate basic data necessary for computational turbulence modelling. Turbulent signals were processed digitally to obtain conventional or conditional velocity components. The high-order conditional correlations obtained in this study showed similar trends as those of other free shear flows. It was found that the non-turbulent fluid contributes negligibly to the turbulent kinetic energy production and its diffusive transport and that the diffusion by bulk convection has the same order of magnitude as the gradient diffusion in the free boundary region. The statistical analyses such as flatness factor, skewness factor and probability density functions of turbulent and non-turbulent zone durations have also been performed.
