Vibration problems induced by an air cooled heat exchanger with axial flow fan were investigated during the operation of a petrochemical plant. Two different studies were done; one was experimental field test and the other was theoretical verification. To find main cause of the blade passing frequency of the fan after installing additional blockage board at the air inlet of the axial fan, the frequency spectrum was measured. The vibrations of the blade passing frequency became higher. The natural frequency of driving support of the heat exchanger was theoretically calculated. It was approximately equal to the blade passing frequency. During the normal operation of the plant, it was impossible to modify the structure of the driving support. Instead, the blade number was increased to reduce vibration level. It increased the ratio of the forcing frequency to the natural frequency of the driving support over the resonance region.

Since the most of the existing non-Newtonian models are not adequate to apply to the lattmce Boltzmann method, it is a challenging task from both the theoretical and the numerical points of view. In this research the hydro-kinetic model was modified and applied to the 3-D moving sphere in the circular channel flow and the characteristics of the shear thinning effect by the HK-model was evaluated and the condition of ${\Gamma}$ in the model was suggested for the stable simulation to generate non-trivial prediction in three dimension strong shear flows. On the wall boundaries of circular channel the curved wall surface treatment with constant velocity condition was applied and the bounceback condition was applied on the sphere wall to simulate the relative motion of the sphere. The condition is adequate at the less blockage than 0.7 but It may need to apply a multi-scale concept of grid refinement at the narrow flow region. to obtain the stable numerical results.

유체 공급 배관 내에 오리피스를 설치하여, 압력진동의 감쇠효과를 수치해석 및 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 압력진동이 작다는 가정에 기초하여 오리피스의 음향학적 감쇠 효과를 실험적으로 확인 하였으며, 평균 유동이 있을 경우 관찰되는 감쇠 특성을 수치적으로 조사하였다. 오리피스의 위치에 따른 압력진동의 마디, 즉 속도 진동의 배가 되는 위치에 오리피스를 설치할 때 가장 효과적인 압력 진동이 감쇠 되었다. 배관 내 평균 유속이 있을 경우 공진주파수가 감소하였고, 이에 따라 최적 감쇠 효과를 갖는 오리피의의 위치도 변화함을 알 수 있었다.

The present study has been conducted to investigate the effects of rotation on heat/mass transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a two-pass square duct with and without discrete ribs. For stationary cases, the heat/mass transfer on the surfaces with and without discrete ribs is almost the same or reduced. For rotating cases, the gap flow affects differently the heat/mass transfer on leading and trailing surfaces with discrete ribs. On the leading surface of the first pass, the heat/mass transfer is slightly enhanced due to generating strong gap flow. On the trailing surface of the first pass, however, the heat/mass transfer is much decreased because the gap flow disturbs impingement of main flow. The phenomenon, that is, the heat/mass transfer discrepancy between the leading and trailing surfaces is distinctly presented with the increment of rotation number. The friction losses on each surface with discrete ribs are reduced because the blockage ratio decreases for both non-rotating and rotating cases. Therefore, high thermal performance appears in a duct with discrete ribs.

A three-dimensional computation was conducted to understand effects of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the internal flow in a low-speed axial compressor operating at the design condition($\phi=85\%$) and near stall condition($\phi=65\%$). At the design condition, the flows in the axial compressor show, independent of the inlet boundary layer thickness, similar characteristics such as the pressure distribution, size of the hub comer-stall, tip leakage flow trajectory, limiting streamlines on the blade suction surface, etc. However, as the load is increased, the hub corner-stall grows to make a large separation region at the junction of the hub and suction surface for the inlet condition with thick boundary layers at the hub and casing. Moreover, the tip leakage flow is more vortical than that observed in case of the thin inlet boundary layer and has the critical point where the trajectory of the tip leakage flow is abruptly turned into the downstream. For the inlet condition with thin boundary layers, the hub corner-stall is diminished so it is indistinguishable from the wake. The tip leakage flow leans to the leading edge more than at the design condition but has no critical point. In addition to these, the severe reverse flow, induced by both boundary layer on the blade surface and the tip leakage flow, can be found to act as the blockage of flows near the casing, resulting in heavy loss.

Mini centrifugal pumps having a diameter smaller than 100mm are employed in many fields; automobile radiator pump, ventricular assist pump, cooling pump for electric devices and so on. Further, the needs for mini centrifugal pumps would become larger with the increase of the application of it for electrical machines. It is desirable that the mini centrifugal pump design be as simple as possible as precise manufacturing is required. But the design method for the mini centrifugal pump is not established because the internal flow condition for these small-sized fluid machines is not clarified and conventional theory is not suitable for small-sized pumps. Therefore, we started research on the mini centrifugal pump for the purpose of development of high performance mini centrifugal pumps with simple structure. Three types of rotors with different outlet angles are prepared for an experiment. The performance tests are conducted with these rotors in order to investigate the effect of the outlet angle on performance and internal flow condition of mini centrifugal pumps. In addition to that, the blade thickness is changed because blockage effect in the mini centrifugal pump becomes relatively larger than that of conventional pumps. On the other hand, a three dimensional steady numerical flow analysis is conducted with the commercial code (ANSYS-Fluent) to investigate the internal flow condition. It is clarified from the experimental results that head of the mini centrifugal pump increases according to the increase of the blade outlet angle and the decrease of the blade thickness. In the present paper, the performance of the mini centrifugal pump is shown and the internal flow condition is clarified with the results of the experiment and the numerical flow analysis. Furthermore, the effects of the blade outlet angle and the blade thickness on the performance are investigated and the internal flow of each type of rotor is clarified by the numerical analysis results.

In this paper, the mechanism of unsteady potential interaction and wake interaction in one stage axial turbine is numerically investigated at design point in two-dimensional viewpoint. The numerical technique used is the upwind scheme of Van-Leer's Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) and Cubic spline interpolation is applied on zonal interface between stator and rotor. The inviscid analysis is used to embody the influence of potential interaction only and viscous analysis is used to embody the influences of both potential interaction and wake interaction at the same time. The potential-flow disturbance from the stator into a rotor passage and the periodic blockage effect of rotor produce the unsteady pressure on the blade surface in inviscid analysis. After the wake is cut by rotor, two counterrotating votical patterns flanking the wake centerline in the passage are generated. So, these phenomena magnify the unsteady pressure in viscous analysis than that in inviscid analysis. The resulting unsteady forces on the rotor, generated by the combined interaction of the two effects by potential and wake interaction, are discussed.

본 연구에서는 2차원의 압축성 Navier-Stokes 코드를 개발하여 mixer-ejector 노즐의 유동장 해석을 다양한 덕트와 노즐 면적비 및 노즐 압력비에 대하여 계산을 수행하였다. 덕트와 노즐 면적비 계산에서는 먼저 효율적인 2차 유동의 유입을 위한 최적의 면적비가 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 높은 면적비에서는 입구 자유유동의 적절한 혼합없이 mixing duct를 그대로 통과하는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 낮은 면적비에서는 제트의 경계가 유입 유동에 장애물로 작용하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 노즐 압력비의 계산에 있어서는 shroud 벽면과 shock cell structure 간에 상호작용이 작다면 유입유량은 압력비에 따라 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The attachment of inducer in front of main impeller is a powerful method to improve cavitation performance. Cavitation surge oscillation, however, often occurs at partial flow rate and extremely low suction pressure. As the cavitation surge oscillation with low frequency of about 10 Hz occurs in a close relation between the inlet backflow cavitation and the growth of blade cavity into the throat section of blade passage, one method of installing an axi-asymmetrical plate upstream of inducer has been proposed to suppress the oscillation. The inlet flow distortion due to the axi-asymmetrical plate makes different elongations of cavities on all blades, which prevent the flow from becoming simultaneously unstable at all throat sections. In the present study, changes of the suppression effects with the axial distance between the inducer inlet and the plate and the changes with the blockage ratios of plate area to the cross-sectional area of inducer inlet are investigated for helical inducers with tip blade angles of $8^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$. Then a conceivable application will be proposed to suppress the cavitation surge oscillation by installing axi-asymmetrical inlet plate.
