The configuration of intake port is a dominant factor of inlet air flow and mixture formation in an engine. In this study, as an available technology to optimum intake port, the flow box system using resine has been applied. So we presents a methodology for estimating inlet flow characteristics in this paper. This quantified experimental result shows good agreements with visualization data in a cylinder. We obtained the optimal value of swirl ratio and flow coefficient under steady flow rig test for new development of intake port for heavy-duty engine. From this results, the cylinder heat with a good evaluated swirl flow characteristics was developed and adapted for a 11L heavy-duty engine using the liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system. This .research expects to clarify major factor that make the intake port efficiently.

Propane coflow diffusion flames have been experimentally studied to investigate the liftoff and reattachment characteristics. Flame properties such as velocity and density distribution were measured by LDV and shadowgraphy, respectively. It is shown that as the velocity of coflowing air increases, liftoff velocity decreases nonlinearly in turbulent jets and linearly in laminar jets, while reattachment velocity decreases nonlinearly. Meanwhile, as inner nozzle tip thickness increases, liftoff velocity increases with the reattachment velocity nearly unchanged. Liftoff phenomena in these flames can be categorized into three classes as a function of coflow velocity, such as laminar liftoff, turbulent liftoff, and transient liftoff.

A header is the device that makes uniform flow distribution in all branches from header of heat exchangers, pipe burner or chemical equipments. In this study, experimental tests have been performed in order to investigate the flow distribution characteristics in a straight header and tapered header which have 6 and 11 glass pipe branches. The experimental equipment consists of a water circulation system where the fluid velocity in each glass pipe is measured by Ar-ion LDV system. From the experiments and the theoretical equation, it could be recommended that tapered header should be determined so that its internal velocities inside the header become uniform according to taper of the header and number of attached branches for uniform flow distribution in energy systems.

Dynamic stability in rotation of the head drum of digital VCR is very important due to the nature of high rotation speed and small angular inertia. Therefore special considerations on reducing the unbalance and assuring the stability are required the design and manufacturing process. In this paper, newly developed digital head drum is introduced. And advanced methods in analyzing and reducing the unbalance is suggested. LDV(Laser Doppler Vibrometer) was used as a measurement system verifying our modeling and new method for balancing. Experiments show that the theoretical data estimated by modeling of shaft bending caused by unbalance mass and the measured data are almost identical. The deflection was reduced to 30％ by applying the suggested balancing method.

Experimental investigation of drag reduction by adding a polymer additive(polyacrylamid, N-401P) into water is carried out in a Circular Water Channel. The effect of viscosity, surface roughness and degradation as a function of running time is also measured with varying the concentration of polymer additives(20ppm,100ppm) and Reynolds numbers. Near and far wakes past a circular cylinder are observed by LDV. Drag forces are measured with a strain-gaged device. The experimental results show that around 5%-30% of drag reduction with the polymer solution are observed. The larger effects of drag reduction can be found at low range of Reynolds number, more roughened surface cylinder. The effect of polymer solution for near wakes is larger than for far wakes.

Local mean fluctuating velocity components were measured in the separating and reattaching axisymmetrc region of turbulent boundary layer over the wall of convex cylinders placed in a water tunnel by using 2-color 4-beam fiber optics laser Doppler velocimetry. Measurements were made with three different diameters of cylinders with four different diameters of cylinders with four different diameter of the obstructions. The range of Reynolds number based on step height was between 5,000 to 25,200. The study demonstrates that the reattachment length decreases with decreasing cylinder radius and is always shorter than that for the two-dimensional backward-facing step flow at the condition of the same step height. It was also observed that the turbulent kinetic energy in the recirculating region increases with an increases in the radius of convex curvature. The measured velocity field suggests that the transverse curvature can effect definitely the formation of corner eddy.

이글은 LDV의 단일실현형 데이터로부터 얻어지는 여러 통계치의 정확한 추정을 위해 기존에 발표된 논문들을 정리함으로써 난류유동장에 대한 실험에서 정밀한 실험값을 얻고자 하는데 목 적을 두었다. LDV로부터 얻어지는 데이터열로부터 추정되는 통계값은 머리말에서 언급되었듯이 다른 여러 가지 편의들에 의해서도 영향을 받는다. 또한 속도 편의의 존재여부에 대해 실험을 근거로 한 논란은 계속되어 왔는데 이는 가우시안 형태의 레이저 빔이 갖는 강도분포에 의해 나타난다고 알려져 있다. 즉, 측정체적을 지나는 산란입자에 대한 광감지기에서 검출되는 산란 광전자는 속도편의와 상반되는 효과를 나타내며 이를 진폭편의(amplitude biss)라 한다. 이 속 도편의와 진폭편의의 상대적인 양은 실험자가 입자 도착 시간간격에 대한 확률분포함수 등을 사용해서 결정해야 한다. 결론적으로 산란입자에 의한 여러 가지 통계 추정량의 편의오차를 줄 이기 위해서는 제편의문제에 대한 이해와 실험치를 바탕으로 한 실험연구인들의 적절한 판단이 필수적이다.

A large eddy simulation (LES) is performed for turbulent flow in a combustion device. The combustion device is simplified as a cylindrical chamber with sudden expansion. A flame holder is attached inside a cylindrical chamber in order to promote turbulent mixing and to accommodate flame stability. The turbulent sub-grid scale models are applied and validated. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of turbulent model for the LES of complex geometry. The simulation code is constructed by using a general coordinate system based on the physical contravariant velocity components. The calculated Reynolds number is 5000 based on the bulk velocity and the diameter of inlet pipe. The predicted turbulent statistics are evaluated by comparing with the LDV measurement data. The Smagorinsky model coefficients are estimated and the utility of dynamic SGS models are confirmed in the LES of complex geometry.

Recently developed technique of measuring minor species concentration by using the modulation dip in broadband CARS has been applied to the flame structure study of methane/air premixed flames in a counterflow. This method used the modulation dip from the cold band CO Q-branch resonant signal superimposed on the nonresonant background. The measured CO concentration profile in a symmetric and unsymmetric methane/air premixed flames together with the velocity and temperature by using LDV and CARS have been compared with the numerical results adopting detailed chemistry modeling. The results show that there is a satisfactory agreement between the experimental data and numerical results for velocities, temperatures and CO concentrations. And the modulation dip technique of measuring minor species, such as CO is a viable tool for a quantitative measurement in a flame.
