This paper presents turbulent characteristics of an impinging F-O-O-F type injector in which fuel ad oxidizer impinge on each other to atomize under the different momentum ratio. Water was used as an inert simulant liquid instead of fuel and oxidizer. The droplet size and velocity in the impinging spray flow field were measured using a PDPA. The gradient of the spray half-width(b$_2$) along the long-axis direction declined throughout the entire spray flow field with increasing the momentum ratio from 1.19 to 6.48. However, the gradient of the half-width(b$_1$) along the short-axis direction decreased with increasing the momentum ratio. The turbulence intensity and turbulent kinetic energy were converged into the center of the center of the initial region with increasing the momentum ratio. As the momentum ratio increased from MR=1.19 to MR=6.48, the turbulent shear stress decreased. The results of this study can be used for the design of an impinging type injector for liquid rackets.

The aim of this paper is to enhance the accuracy of predicting time-averaged external surface pressures on low-rise buildings by utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. To achieve this, benchmark studies of the Silsoe cube and the Texas Tech University (TTU) experimental building are employed for comparison with simulation results. The paper is structured into three main sections. In the initial part, an appropriate domain size is selected based on the precision of mean pressure coefficients on the windward face of the cube, utilizing Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. Subsequently, recommendations regarding the optimal computational domain size for an isolated building are provided based on revised findings. Moving on to the second part, the Silsoe cube model is examined within a horizontally homogeneous computational domain using more accurate turbulence models, such as Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and hybrid RANS-LES models. For computational efficiency, transient simulation settings are employed, building upon previous studies by the authors at the Windstorm Impact, Science, and Engineering (WISE) Lab, Louisiana State University (LSU). An optimal meshing strategy is determined for LES based on a grid convergence study. Three hybrid RANS-LES cases are investigated to achieve desired enhancements in the distribution of mean pressure coefficients on the Silsoe cube. In the final part, a 1:10 scale model of the TTU building is studied, incorporating the insights gained from the second part. The generated flow characteristics, including vertical profiles of mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and velocity spectra (small and large eddies), exhibit good agreement with full-scale (TTU) measurements. The results indicate promising roof pressures achieved through the careful consideration of meshing strategy, time step, domain size, inflow turbulence, near-wall treatment, and turbulence models. Moreover, this paper demonstrates an improvement in mean roof pressures compared to other state-of-the-art studies, thus highlighting the significance of CFD simulations in building aerodynamics.

강이나 하천 폭 전체에 걸쳐 수리구조물을 설치하는 경우에는 대개 하상보호공을 설치한다. 하지만 하상보호공직하류부에 있는 하천하상이 상류부의 흐름영향으로 인해서 유실되는 국부세굴현상이 발생한다. 이와 같은 국부세굴은 흐름방향 경계지점의 흐름 및 난류특성과 하상토의 재질 등에 지배적이며, 시간의 경과에 따라서 점차적으로 위험할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이동상 모형실험을 통해 분석된 시간변화에 따른 하상보호공 하류부 국부세굴공 내부의 난류성분을 3차원 수치해석모형인 OpenFOAM의 적용결과와 비교하고 국부세굴공발달의 주요인자라고 알려져 있는 수심 적분된 상대난류강도 값의 흐름방향별 분포를 분석하였다. 또한 이 결과와 함께 하상전단응력 및 Shields parameter와 비교하여 세굴공의 안정화에 대하여 분석하였으며 추가적으로 초기 난류유입조건을 변화시켜 그 결과를 비교하였다. 그 결과 세굴공의 최대발생깊이는 유속의 크기보다는 오히려 수심 적분된 상대난류강도의 크기에 따라 지배적으로 발달하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해서 향후 하상보호공 하류부에서 발생 가능한 국부세굴공을 저감하거나 방지하기 위해서는 수심 적분된 상대난류강도를 조절할 수 있는 설계나 시공 혹은 수문조절이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

A cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the flow characteristics at the spark electrode gap and the combustion characteristics of a homogeneous charged methane-air mixture under various overall charge pressures, excess air ratios and ignition times. The flow characteristics, including the mean velocity and turbulence intensity, were analyzed with a hot wire anemometer. Combustion pressure development measured by piezoelectric pressure transducer, a flame propagation image acquired by ICCD camera and exhaust emissions measured by 2-valve gas chromatography were used to investigate effects of initial pressures, excess air ratios and ignition times on the combustion characteristics. It was found that the mean velocity and turbulence intensity had the maximum value around 200-300 ms and then decreased gradually to a near-zero value after 3000 ms and that the combustion duration was shorten and the flame speed and laminar burning velocity had the highest value under the condition of an excess air ratio of 1.1, an overall charge pressure of 0.15 MPa and an ignition time of 300 ms in the present study. The $CO_2$ concentration was proportional to the ignition time and overall charge pressure, the $CO_2$ concentration was proportional to the excess air ratio, and the UHC concentration was inversely proportional to the ignition time and overall charge pressure.

A cylindrical constant volume combustion bomb is used to investigate the combustion characteristics and to analyzer the heat quantity of inhomogeneous charge methane-air mixture. To analyze the heat quantity, some definitions including the CHR ratio, the UHC ratio and the HL ratio are needed and are calculated. It is shown that the effect of stratification is not significant in case of the overall excess air ratio of 1.1, mainly due to the higher heat loss and lower thermal efficiency compared to those of homogeneous condition. In the case of the overall excess air ratio of 1.4, as the initial charge pressure decreases, the CHR ratio has been decreased while the HL ratio has been increased, Generally, as the initial charge pressure increases, the amount of injection mixture has been decreased and has resulted in lower mean velocity and turbulence intensity for injection mixture. Also, the injected mixture is too rich to result in mixing deficiency in combustion chamber. From these results, it could be possible to acquire the improvement of thermal efficiency and the reduction of heat loss simultaneously through the 2-stage injection in CNG direct injection engine.

We report the millimeter-wave radio observations of molecular cloud cores in Taurus. The observed line is the $N_2H^+$ emission at 93 GHz, which is known to be less affected by molecular depletion. We have compared starless (IRAS-less) cores with star-forming cores. We found that there is no large difference between starless and star-forming cores, in core radius, linewidth, core mass, and radial intensity profile. Our result is in contrast with the result obtained by using a popular molecular line, in which starless cores are larger and less condensed. We suggest that different results mainly come from whether the employed molecular line is affected by depletion or not. We made a virial analysis, and found that both starless and star-forming cores are not far from the critical equilibrium state, in Taurus. Together with the fact that Taurus cores are almost thermally supported, we conclude that starless Taurus cores evolve to star formation without dissipating turbulence. The critical equilibrium state in the virial analysis corresponds to the critical Bonnor-Ebert sphere in the Bonnor-Ebert analysis (Nakano 1998). It is suggested that the initial condition of the molecular cloud cores/globules for star formation is close to the critical equilibrium state/critical Bonnor-Ebert sphere, in the low-mass star forming region.

In order to analyze the sensitivity on the pulverized coal flames of the several variables, a numerical study was conducted at the gasification process. Eulerian approach is used for the gas phase, whereas lagrangian approach is used for the solid phase. Turbulence is modeled using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The turbulent combustion incorporates eddy dissipation model. The radiation was solved using a Monte-Carlo method. One-step two-reaction model was employed for the devolatilization of Kideco coal. In pulverized flame of long liftoff height, the initial turbulent intensity seriously affects the position of flame front. The radiation heat transfer and wall heat loss ratio distort the temperature distributions along the reactor wall, but do not influence the reactor performance such as coal conversion, residence time and flame front position. The primary/secondary momentum ratio affects the position of flame front, but the coal burnout is only slightly influenced. The momentum ratio is a variable only associated with the flame stabilization such as flame front position. The addition of steam in the reactor has a detrimental effect on all the aspects, particularly reactor temperature and coal burnout.

An experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the heat/mass transfer for impingement/effusion cooling system with inclined jet. Jets with inclined angle of 60 are applied to impingement/effusion cooling. At the jet Reynolds number of 10,000, the experiments were carried out for blowing ratios ranging from 0.0 to 1.5. The local heat/mass transfer coefficients on the effusion plate are measured using a naphthalene sublimation method. The result indicates that the inclined jet causes the non-uniform and low heat/mass transfer compared to the vertical jet. At stagnation region, the peak position is shifted from the geometrical center of injection hole due to Coanda effect and its level is higher than that of vertical jet due to increase in turbulence intensity by steep velocity gradient near the stagnation region. Further, the secondary peak region disappears because the interaction between adjacent wall jets weakens. When the initial crossflow occurs, the distorted heat/mass transfer pattern appears. As the blowing ratio (crossflow rate) increases, the heat/mass transfer distributions become similar to those of the vertical jet. This is because the effect of crossflow is dominant compared to that of inclined jet under high blowing ratio $(M{\geq}1.0)$. At low blowing ratio $(M{\leq}0.5)$, averaged Sh value is 10% lower than that of vertical jet, whereas its value at high blowing ratio $(M{\geq}1.0)$ is similar to that of vertical jet.

최근 기후변화로 인해 강우강도 및 빈도의 증가에 따른 국지성 집중호우의 피해가 증가함에 따라 초기 우수에 대응할 수 있는 시설물 설치가 필요한 실정이다. 이를 위해, 빗물을 직접 유출하지 않고 저류 시키는 저영향 개발(Low Impact Development)기법을 적용한 시설물 설계 및 수치모형을 이용한 유출저감효과 검토에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 유출저감효과에 대한 검토만 수행된 반면, 시설물에 유입되는 유량에 의한 흐름특성 변화 검토 및 안정성 검토에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 LID 기법이 많이 적용되고 있는 회전교차로를 대상으로 하여, 회전교차로 내의 우수저류조의 관망시스템의 안정성 검토를 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 사용하여 검토하였다. 또한 우수저류조의 최적의 설계방안 도출을 위하여 우수저류조의 수를 증가하여 용량증가에 따른 유속과 동압의 변화를 검토하고 설계기준과 비교하였다. 우수저류조의 제원 및 유입유량은 선행연구에서 제시된 값을 적용하여 수치모의를 수행한 결과, 유속은 저류조 설치개소 수가 증가할수록 빨라지는 것을 확인하였고, 대부분 설계기준 범위 안에 유속이 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 다만 추가 저류조가 3개 이상일 경우는 추가저류조관에서 유속이 3.44 m/s가 발생하여 설계유속의 허용범위를 초과하였고, 유속의 증가율도 일정해지는 것으로 나타났다. 난류강도 및 바닥전단력 비교의 경우, 저류조 설치 개소수가 증가함에 따라 바닥전단력이 한계소류력보다 크게 나타나 유입토사의 침전은 발생하지 않을 것으로 예상되나 난류강도의 크기가 작아져 플록(Floc)형성으로 인한 토사 침전이 발생할 수 있음을 고려해야한다. 최종적으로 유속을 이용한 동압 산정 결과를 우수관 설계에 일반적으로 사용되는 압력관의 허용내압과 비교하였을 경우, 동압이 허용내압보다 작게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 우수저류조 제원으로 설계할 경우 추가 저류조를 2개까지 설치하는 것이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 저류조를 계속하여 설치하게 되면 배수가 원활해져 관내 유속이 빨라지고, 유속증가로 인하여 관의 마모손상 등의 문제가 일어날 수 있기 때문이다. 그러나 본 연구는 저류조의 제원 및 우수의 유입량을 가정하였고, 단순히 저류조를 추가하여 저류조 설계방안을 도출한 한계점이 있어 향후에는 다양한 저류조 형태 및 우수유입 시나리오를 적용하여 검토한다면 보다 효율적인 설계방안 도출이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
