It is very important to understand characteristics of solution due to the variation of computational grid sizes, especially when turbulence model not incorporating wall-function is used. The present paper performs numerical investigation on the grid dependency of numerical solution for three dimensional turbulent flow field around a ship. In the present study a finite volume method with a modified sub-grid scale turbulence model and a numerically constructed non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system capable of conforming complex ship geometries are used. Numerical studies are then performed for a mathematical Wigley hull and the Series 60, $C_B=0.8$ hull forms. The results for various grid sizes are compared with each other and with measured data to show grid dependencies of numerical solutions.

The flow characteristics of two-dimensional turbulent offset jet which is discharged parallel to a solid wall has been studied experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, 3-hole pitot tube and 2 channel constant temperature hot-wire anemometer are used to measure local mean velocity, turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress while scannivalve is used to measure the wall pressure distribution. It is confirmed experimentally that local mean velocity is closely related to wall pressure distribution. It is also verified that for large Reynolds numbers and fixed step height there exists a similarity in the distribution of wall pressure coefficient. The maximum values of turbulence intensity occur in the top and bottom mixing layers and the magnitude of Reynolds stress becomes large in the lower mixing layer than in the top mixing layer due to the effect of streamline curvature and entrainment. In the numerical analysis, standard k-.epsilon. model based on eddy viscosity model and Leschziner and Rodi model based on algebraic stress model are adopted. The numerical analyses predict shorter reattachment lengths than the experiment, and this difference is judged to be due mainly to the problem of turbulence model constants and numerical algorithm. This also causes the inconsistency between the two results for other turbulence quantities in the recirculation region and impingement region, which constitutes a subject of a continued future study.

Large eddy simulation was performed to investigate the effect of linearly increasing wall disturbance on the modification of turbulent characteristics of temperature field in the vicinity of the wall. It was noted that temperature variance increased monotonically whereas temperature dissipation decreased significantly, resulting in a noticeable reduction in both time and length-scales. A sudden drop in turbulent Prandtl number down to around 0.25 in the near-wall region indicated that the similarity between velocity and temperature fields decreases near the wall as a result of linear wall disturbance.

An experimental investigation was performed to study the turbulent characteristics of swirling flow a 90$^{\circ}C$ circular tube for Re = 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000. 2D-PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry)technique was employed to measure the fluctuation velocity field. The results include spatial distributions of mean velocity vectors, turbulence intensity and turbulence kinetic energy. The axial and radial turbulence intensities, and kinetic energy profiles show double-peak structures in the inlet region of the 90 degree bend and the profiles are disappeared along the test tube with decaying the swirl intensity.

본 연구에서는 이러한 연구의 시작단계로 노즐내의 열 경계층 방정식을 정리하고 압축성 와점도모델을 도입하여 유한 차분법을 이용한 전산프로그램을 작성 하였다. 한편 실제로 추진모테에서는 고온 고속의 열기류가 분출되기 때문에 추진 하고 있는 동안 노즐벽을 형성하고 있는 내열재가 심하게 손상되어 표면의 상태가 매우 거칠게 된다. 더구나 경우에 따라서는 내열재가 용발(ablation)하게 된다. 이러한 상태를 감안하여 마찰계수와 열전달 계수를 합리적으로 추정해야만 노즐의 설계와 주변장치를 합리적으로 수행할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 주로 경계층 내의 압력구배, 압축성의 효과, 물성치의 변화를 고려한 기존 난류모델에 근거하여 프로그램을 작성하고, 이것을 토대로 노즐표면 조도의 영향 및 분출(blowing)의 영 향을 중점적으로 고려하여 그 특성을 연구하였다. 노즐벽에서 분출을 고려한 이유는 표면이 용발할 때 표면의 온도가 거의 일정하게 유지된 상태로 노즐표면이 화학작용을 수반하면서 가스화됨을 초보적으로 고려해보기 위함이다.

An experimental investigation of the flow around a vertical fence was carried out using a PIV velocity field measurement technique. The vertical fence was embedded in a turbulent boundary layer. The instantaneous velocity fields measured at cross-sectional planes reveal complex longitudinal vortices that vary in size and strength, developing from the upstream location. In the instantaneous vorticity and velocity field data, the shear flow separated from the fence top is highly turbulent and shows unsteady flow characteristics. The topography of the ensemble averaged velocity fields, especially the separation bubble formed behind the fence, shows that the spatial distributions of streamwise velocity (U) and vertical (V) are symmetric, the spanwise velocity (W) is skew-symmetric with respect to the central xy-plane(z=0).

공극률, 슬릿 수 및 두께가 다양한 오리피스 구조물을 대상으로 개수로 수리실험을 진행하여 유공벽의 벽두께에 따른 에너지 손실계수의 변화 및 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 오리피스의 개수로 수리실험을 수행하였으며 다양한 유속조건에서 오리피스의 벽두께에 대한 에너지 손실계수를 측정한 뒤 결과를 권 등(2010)의 관수로 실험결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과 전체적으로 유속에 따라 에너지 손실은 변화하였으며 유속이 감소할수록 에너지 손실은 크게 증가함을 보였다. 유속이 작은 층류구간에서 유속이 감소할수록 에너지 손실은 증가하는 반비례 관계를 보였고 에너지 손실량은 관수로 실험결과와 서로 비슷하였다. 그러나 유속이 강한 난류 구간에서는 에너지 손실이 유속과 무관하게 일정한 관수로 결과와는 달리 유속에 따라 변화하였다. 또한 유속이 약한 흐름에서는 오리피스의 두께 및 슬릿 수에 따라 에너지 손실은 각각 다르게 측정되었지만 유속이 강한 흐름에서는 벽두께 변화와 상관없이 에너지 손실은 거의 비슷하였다. 이 결과로부터 개수로 오리피스의 경우 유속이 강한 구간에서는 오리피스의 벽두께 효과 보다 상 하류 수위차로 발생하는 개수로 효과가 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.

Direct numerical simulations were carried out for turbulent channel flows with $Re_{\tau}$ = 180, 395 and 590 to investigate the turbulent flow structure related to the Reynolds shear stress. By examining the probability density function, the second quadrant (Q2) events with the largest contribution to the mean Reynolds shear stress were identified. The change in the inclination angle of Q2 events varies with wall units in $y^+<50$ and with the channel half height in y/h > 0.5. Conditionally averaged flow fields for the Q2 event show that the flow structures associated with Reynolds shear stress are a quasi-streamwise vortex in the buffer layer and a hairpin-shaped vortex in the outer layer. Three-dimensional visualization of the distribution of high Reynolds shear stress reveals that the organization of hairpin vortices in the outer layer having a size of 1.5~3 h is associated with large-scale motions with high Reynolds shear stress in the outer layer.

The turbulent flow characteristics in the channel flow are investigated using large eddy simulation(LES) of FDS code, built in NIST(USA), in which the near-wall flow is solved by Werner-Wengle wall function. The periodic flow condition is applied in streamwise direction to get the fully developed turbulent flow and symmetric condition is applied in lateral direction. The height of the channel is H=1m, and the length of the channel is 6H, and the lateral length is H. The total grid is $32{\times}32{\times}32$ and $y^+$ is kept above 11 to fulfill the near-wall flow requirement. The Smagorinsky model is used to solve the sub-grid scale stress. Smagorinsky constant $C_s$ is 0.2(default in FDS). Three cases of Reynolds number(10,700, 26,000, 49,000.), based on the channel height, are analyzed. The simulated results are compared with direct numerical simulation(DNS) and particle image velocimetry(PIV) experimental data. The linear low-Re eddy viscosity model of Launder & Sharma and non-linear low-Re eddy viscosity model of Abe-Jang-Leschziner are utilized to compare the results with LES of FDS. Reynolds normal stresses, Reynolds shear stresses, turbulent kinetic energys and mean velocity flows are well compared with DNS and PIV data.
