Linear estimation in isotropic turbulence is examined to approximate conditional averages in the form of fluctuating velocity fields conditioned on local velocity. The conditional flow fields and their associated vorticity field are computer using experimental data [Van Atta and Chen] and energy spectrum model [Driscoll and Kennedy]. It appears that ring vorticies could be the dominant structure. Due to the extremely large vorticity in the viscous region of a conditional ring vortex, the energy spectrum model can be used appropriately by changing the Reynolds number. The hairpin vortex could be detected by combining vorticies in isotropic field with an anisotropic orientation imbedded in uniform mean shear flow and this is consistent with other studies [Kim and Moin].

난류흐름 거동은 지형이나 수공구조물과 같은 고체 경계면의 변화에 민감하게 반응하며 특징 또한 다양하다. 보나 여수로 등과 같은 단차 구조물을 통과하는 흐름은 구조물의 모서리 같은 흐름 경계면이 급변하는 지점에서는 흐름분리(flow separation)가 발생하는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 흐름분리로 인해 전단층이 발생하며 흐름 재순환(recirculation)이 구조물 하류부에 형성된다. 이 연구에서는 낙차공 형식의 단차 구조물 하류부에서의 흐름 거동을 이해하기 위해 CFD모델링을 통하여 계산된 3차원 유동장을 분석한다. 난류 모의는 하이브리드 LES(large-eddy simulation)/RANS 계산 기법인 IDDES(improved delayed detached-eddy simulation)기법을 적용한다. IDDES의 기본 모형으로는 k-ω SST모형과 Spalart-Allmaras모형을 이용하여 두 모형의 성능을 평가한다. 자유수면의 변동은 VoF(volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 계산하며, 각 지배방정식은 최소의 수치분산을 유지하면서 수치해의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 2차 정확도의 유한체적법을 이용하여 이산화하였다. 수치해석 결과는 레이놀즈수 23,400과 후르드수 0.22의 조건에서 기존에 계측된 자료와 비교하여 수치모형의 정확도를 평가하고 하상 단차 하류부에서의 흐름 거동 특성을 분석한다. 계산 결과는 공학적으로 널리 사용되는 RANS 수치모의에서 볼 수 없는 전단층과 난류구조의 동적 거동 특성과 이에 따른 레이놀즈 응력분포의 특성을 설명해준다.

본 인구에서는 레이놀즈응력모형을 이용하여 직사각형 개수로 흐름을 수치모의 하고 이차흐름의 생성 메커니즘을 제시하였다. 수치모의 결과 자유수면과 측벽의 접합부 근처에서 inner secondary flow가 발생하였다. 이는 최근 Grega 등(1995)과 Hsu 등(2000)에 의해 밝혀진 새로운 이차흐름이다. 또한 측벽에서의 전단력 분포를 계산한 결과 inner secondary flow에 의하여 수면 근처에서의 전단력 값이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 계산된 결과를 이용하여 와도 방정식에서 각 항의 크기를 비교하여 이차 흐름의 생성 메커니즘을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 벽 및 측벽 경계 부근에서는 난류의 비등방성에 의한 와도 생성항에 의해 이차 흐름이 생성되고, 경계와 멀리 떨어진 영역에서는 레이놀즈응력에 의한 와도 생성항이 이차흐름을 생성시키는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

범용 전산유체해석(Computational Fluid Dynamics) 코드인 CFX-F3D를 이용하여 봉 다발에서의 난류 유동 수치해석을 수행하였다 3$\times$3 봉으로 구성된 부수로 사이의 난류 횡류(Crossflow) 혼합유동과 평행한 4개의 봉으로 이루어진 벽 수로에서의 난류 유동구조를 수치적으로 분석하여 각각의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 부수로 횡류 혼합유동의 경우 예측된 주 유동방향 평균 속도분포는 실험결과와 잘 일치하였으나 벽면과 인접한 부수로에서의 난류강도 분포는 다소 큰 차이가 나타났다. 백수로의 경우 수로 중심선 근처의 주 유동방향의 속도변화는 크게 예측되었고 벽 전단응력은 유로가 협소해지는 영역에서 낮게 예측되었으나 전반적으로 실험결과와 유사한 유동특성을 나타냈다. 이 연구는 봉 다발에서의 난류 유동구조에 대한 이해를 증진시킴과 더불어 CFX-F3D 코드를 평가함으로써 향후 지지격자와 임계열유속 증진장치가 부착된 복잡한 형상의 핵연료 다발에서의 유동장 수치해석의 기반을 마련하였다.

Hot-wire measurements of second and third-order mean products of velocity fluctuations have been made in the separated, reattached, and redeveloping boundary layer behind a vertical fence. Mean velocity, wall static pressure distributions have also been measured in the whole flow field. Upstream of the reattachment point, the separated shear layer developes as a free mixing layer, but the gradient of the maximum slope thickness, turbulent intensities and the Reynolds shear stress are higher than that of the mixing layer due to initial streamline curvature and the effects of highly turbulent recirculating flow region. In the reattachment region, Reynolds shear stress and triple products near the surface is far more rapid than the decrease of the shear stress; that is the presence of the solid wall has a marked effect on the apparent gradient diffusivity of intensity or shear stress and throws doubts upon the usefulness of the simple gradient diffusivity model in this region.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of vorticity generation in fully vegetated open-channel flows. The Reynolds stress model is used for the turbulence closure. Open-channel flows with rough bed-smooth sidewalls and smooth bed-rough sidewalls are simulated. The computed vectors show that in channel flows with rough bed and rough sidewalls, the free-surface secondary currents become relatively smaller and larger, respectively, compared with that of plain channel flows. Also, open-channel flows over vegetation are simulated. The computed bottom vortex occupies the entire water depth, while the free-surface vortex is reduced. The contours of turbulent anisotropy and Reynolds stress are presented with different density of vegetation. The budget analysis of vorticity equation is carried out to investigate the generation mechanism of secondary currents. The results of the budget analysis show that in plain open-channel flow, the production by anisotropy is important in the vicinity of the wall and free-surface boundaries, and the production by Reynolds stress is important in the region away from the boundaries. However, this rule is not effective in vegetated channel flows. Also, in plain channel flows, the vorticity is generated mainly in the vicinity of the free-surface and the bottom, while in vegetated channel flows, the regions of the bottom and vegetation height are important to generate the vorticity.

In this study, turbulent flow and heat transfer characteristics in a helically coiled tube have been numerically investigated. Helically coiled tubes are commonly used in heat exchange systems to enhance the heat transfer rate. Accordingly, they have been widely studied experimentally; however, most studies have focused on the pressure drop and heat transfer correlations. The centrifugal force caused by a helical tube increases the wall shear stress and heat transfer rate on the outer side of the helical tube while decreasing those on the inner side of the tube. Therefore, this study quantitatively shows the variation of the local Nusselt number and friction factor along the circumference at the wall of a helical tube by varying the coil diameter and Reynolds number. It is seen that the local heat transfer rate and wall shear stress greatly decrease near the inner side of the tube, which can affect the safety of the tube materials. Moreover, this study verifies the previous experimental correlations for the friction factor and Nusselt number, and it shows that the correlation between the two in a straight tube can be applied to a helical tube. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as important data for the safety evaluation of heat exchangers and steam generators.

The flow analysis has been made by applying the turbulent models in the helically coiled tubes of heat transfer. The k-${\varepsilon}$ and Spalart-Allmaras turbulent models are used in which the structured grid is applied for the simulation. The velocity vector, the pressure contour, the change of residuals along the iteration number and the friction factors are simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations to make clear the Reynolds number effect. The helical tube increases the centrifugal forces by which the wall shear stress become larger on the outer side of the tube. The centrifugal force makes the heat transfer rate locally larger due to the increase of the flow energy, which finds out the close relationship between the pressure drop and friction factor in the internal flow. The present numerical results are compared with others, for example, in the value of friction factor for validation.

The present paper presents a direct numerical simulation of turbulent flows in a compound open-channel. Mean flows and turbulence structures are provided, and they are compared with the numerical data and measured data available in the literature. The simulated results show that twin vortices are generated near the juncture of the main channel and the floodplain and their maximum magnitude is about 5% of bulk streamwise velocity. At the juncture, the simulated wall shear stress becomes the maximum unlike the experimental data. A quadrant analysis shows that both sweeps and ejections become the main contributor to production of Reynolds shear stresses. A conditional quadrant analysis reveals that the directional tendency of dominant coherent structures determines the production of Reynolds shear stress and the pattern of twin vortices.
