In this paper, we propose an efficient technique for improving the grid based fluid simulation by sub-grid visuals. The detailed turbulency generated efficiently by Vortex Particle Method are blended with the flow fields coming from the traditional incompressible Navier-Stokes solver. The algorithm enables large- and small- scale detail to be edited separately.

As part of study on separated flow using the vortex particle method, stability of the method and particle redistribution were scrutinized. Stability was investigated by choosing different combination of numerical parameters. The Gaussian vortex was considered to make the problem simple by eliminating the complexity due to presence of walls. It was shown that the numerical method was stable when $v{\Delta}t/h^2{\leq}0.5$. In all the stable cases the circulation and the linear momentum were conserved. Without the particle redistribution, the angular momentum was severely attenuated.

The particle dispersion in the turbulent mixing layer has been numerically investigated to clarify the effect of the velocity ratio in the large-scale vortical structures. In this study the LES with subgrid-scale model is employed. The Lagrangian method to predict the particle motion is applied. The particles of 10, 50, 150, 200${\mu}m$ in mean diameter were loaded into the origin of the mixing layer. It is shown that the characteristics of flow and growth rate are strongly dependent on the variation of the velocity ratio. It is also shown the relationship between the Stokes number and the particle dispersion. As a result, in the case of St~1 the particle dispersion is faster than the diffustion of the flow field while in the cases of both St<<1 and St>>1 it is shown that the particle dispersion in lower than the diffusion of the flow filed.

레이놀즈 분해법은 유속을 비롯한 변수를 평균 성분과 변동 성분으로 분해하는 분석 방법으로, 난류 분석의 기본이 되는 방법이다. 그러나 유체 내에 장애물이 존재할 경우, 흐름에 큰 와류가 존재하여 난류 변동 성분과 구분되는 고유 구조가 형성되는데, 이러한 경우에 레이놀즈 분해법을 적용하면 고유 구조의 변동 성분이 난류로 처리되어 난류 강도가 과다하게 책정될 수 있다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 제안된 것이, 변수를 평균 성분, 파동 성분, 변동 성분으로 분해하는 삼중 분해법이다. 삼중 분해법은 흐름 내의 고유 구조를 추출하는 것을 가능하게 하여 다양한 연구에서 사용되어왔다. 삼중 분해법을 구현하기 위해 이용되는 방법론 중 하나로, 공분산 행렬을 이용하여 유속장을 분해하는 방법인 적합 직교 분해법이 많이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 원기둥 후류에 적합 직교 분해법을 사용하여 삼중 분해법을 시행하고, 후류의 흐름 구조를 분석하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 영상 유속계를 사용하여 실험을 통해 원기둥 후류의 수평 유속장을 측정하였고, 측정 자료에 적합 직교 분해법을 적용한 결과, 첫 두 모드에서 큰 규모의 와류가 파동 형태로 전파되는 것이 관찰되어 고유 구조의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 해당 성분을 삼중 분해법의 파동 성분으로 상정하였고, 푸리에 분석을 적용한 결과에서도 원기둥 후류의 고유 진동수가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 원기둥 후류의 에너지 전달 구조를 확인하기 위하여 에너지 방정식에 삼중 분해법을 적용하여 식을 유도하고, 실험 자료로부터 각 항을 계산하여 비교해보았다.

The numerical simulation of the particle dispersion in the vortical flows provides insight into the mechanism of particle-fluid interaction. The simulation results show that the mixing layers are characterized by the large-scale vortical structures undergoing pairing process. The particle dispersion is strongly influenced by the large-scale structures and the particle sizes. The analysis shows that the mixing layers grows like a step-function.

The vortex particle method, which includes viscous effects, consists of diffusion of boundary vorticity and creation of the vortex particles, convection, particle strength exchange, and particle redistribution. Accuracy of the boundary element method is very important since it creates the particles around the body at every time step. A boundary element method based on source panel was investigated as part of computation of unsteady separated flows by rising the vortex particle method. The potential flows were computed around a circular cylinder and a square cylinder. The results around the circular cylinder were compared with the exact solution, and the distribution of vorticity, in particular near the sharp comers of the square cylinder, is scrutinized for different number of panels.

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.

Three-dimensional models of stenosis blood vessels were prepared using a 3D printer. The models included a straight pipe with axisymmetric stenosis and a pipe that was bent $10^{\circ}$ from the center of stenosis. A refractive index matching method was utilized to measure accurate velocity fields inside the 3D tubes. Three different pulsatile flows were generated and controlled by changing the rotational speed frequency of the peristaltic pump. Unsteady velocity fields were measured by a time-resolved particle image velocimetry method. Periodic shedding of vortices occurred and moves depended on the maximum velocity region. The sizes and the positions of the vortices and symmetry are influenced by mean Reynolds number and tube geometry. In the case of the bent pipe, a recirculation zone observed at the post-stenosis could explain the possibility of blood clot formation and blood clot adhesion in view of hemodynamics.

This experimental study is about the flow characteristics according to existence and nonexistence of the control rod and location in the flow field where it has the Inclined rear walls in the open cavity. By using the visualization of flow and particle image velocimetry (PIV), we performed about a change and speed of the Reynolds number. Our objective was what part of the control rod gives less effects to the characteristics of flow and how the shear mixing layer moves at what critical point of the Reynolds number. As a result, we differed the location of control rod. So finally, L/H=0.2 was discovered to give less effects to the cavity. The flow of backside of vortex faces the upper side. And we found that this phenomenon shows up more clear when the number of Reynolds increases. This is because of the flow of vortex causes by the condition of y/H=1.0. This phenomenon gets more clear with increasing of number of Reynolds, and critical point of the Reynolds number was $Re=1.0{\times}10^4$ around. If control rod is L/H=0.1, depending on the number of Reynolds ($Re=6.0{\times}10^3$, $Re=8.0{\times}10^3$, $Re=1.0{\times}10^4$, $Re=1.2{\times}10^4$), doubled vortex shows up. As the shear mixing layer of the upper side of cavity increases, the speed of the lower side was very stable.

High-pressure swirl injectors have usually been employed in Gasoline direct injection engines due to their spray characteristics and the feasibility of their control. Thus the microscopic characteristics of high-pressure swirl spray were investigated by PDA. The correlation between axial and radial velocities and the correlation between droplet size and axial velocity were examined with different axial and radial positions. Two dimensional droplet velocity and its number distribution with size-classified droplets were illustrated. The mean droplet velocity and its SMD were also analyzed at the center of spray, the position having maximum mean axial velocity, and the spray periphery using time dividing method. Finally, the structure of high-pressure swirl spray was presented with the size distribution and velocity profile of droplets.
