  • Flow features near the ship bow such as wave breaking, small scale phenomena have been studied using numerical methods. In this study, the bow shaped wedge was adopted which is from previous paper [1, 2] and the conditions of simulation were Re = 1.64 × 105) and Fr = 2.93. Star CCM+, one of the commercial CFD programs has been used for the simulations. Simulation results such as wave profiles near the ship bow, shape of plunging jet, air entrainment, and wave breaking process have been compared with previous experimental and numerical studies. Overall results showed good agreements with previous studies. Profiles of bow waves showed that overturning jet has been created and broken along the wedge. Plunging wave breaking has been observed along the wedge and four components of plunging wave breaking process were shown. It is confirmed that velocity near the overturing jet significantly increased during plunging wave breaking.

  • The present study investigates the behaviour of overtopping flows falling on the leeside of a caisson breakwater with dissipating blocks through laboratory measurements. The falling overtopping flows in the leeside are expected to directly affect the leeside stability of the breakwater. This study focuses on not the resultant stability but the characteristic pattern of the overtopping flows depending on wave conditions through examining front velocity and plunging distance in the leeside. Regular waves were used to investigate the dependence of the overtopping flow pattern on wave conditions and a modified image velocimetry combining the shadowgraphy and cross-correlation method was employed for measurements of image and velocity. From the measurements, it is shown that the plunging distance and front velocity of the overtopping flow in the breakwater leeside increase as the wave period or height increases. From non-dimensional relationships between the variables, empirical formula for the velocity and overtopping distance are suggested.

  • There are many issues in fluid structure interactions when dealing with the free surface flows in a sloshing tank. For example the problem of how yielding a highly nonlinear wave with a simple forced motion over a short duration is of concern here. Nonlinear waves are generated in a rectangular tank which is forced horizontally; its motion consists of a single cycle of oscillation. One of the objectives is to end up with a shape of the free surface yielding a wide range of critical flows by tuning few parameters. The configuration that is studied here concerns a plunging breaker accompanied with a critical jet where great kinematics are simulated. The numerical simulations are performed with a twodimensional code which solves the fully nonlinear free surface boundary conditions in Potential Theory.

  • 하천 보 상류영역에서 발생하는 박리 흐름을 분석하기 위해 실험수로에 하천보 모형을 설치하고, 보 주변에서 발생하는 흐름 구조를 입자 영상 유속계(PIV)로 이용하여 정밀하게 측정하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 보는 하천 설계기준을 따른, 전방 수직벽과 하류 경사램프가 있는 유한한 마루 길이 보이다. 실험 조건은 보 상·하류부 수심으로 인한 4가지 흐름(Hydraulic jump, Plunging jet, Surface wave, Surface jet)을 기반으로 설정하여 수리조건에 따른 유속 특성을 규명하였다. 실험에서 측정한 수직-수평방향 평균 유속·유선도를 분석한 결과, 보 전방의 하부에서 재순환 흐름이 관측되었고, 역방향 흐름도 이 지역에서 발견되었다. 유속 편차의 제곱 평균(Root Mean Square) 흐름장에서 보 전방과 재순환 흐름 영역에 불안전한 흐름이 강하게 발견되었다. 역방향 흐름은 박리 흐름에서 발견되는 주요 특성으로, 역방향 흐름의 전체 면적을 매 관측마다 측정하여 이를 분석한 결과, 재순환 흐름의 면적은 오른쪽으로 기울어진 분포를 가지고, 항상 0보다 큰 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 재순환 면적에 따른 흐름 특성은 역방향 흐름 면적에 대한 조건부 평균을 이용하여 파악했는데, 조건부 평균의 구간은 재순환 흐름의 중심에서 지배적인 주기값을 이용했다. 역방향 흐름이 작은 영역에선, 보 상류의 흐름이 재순환 흐름으로 말려들어가는 열린 박리흐름이 나타나며, 역방향 흐름이 큰 경우에는 재순환 영역의 흐름은 보 상류의 흐름과 분리되는 닫힌 박리흐름이 발생하였다. 역방향 흐름이 가장 큰 경우, 보 전방의 박리흐름은 보의 상단을 넘는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 보 마루에서 발생하는 박리흐름이 보 전방에 박리흐름에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었다. 조건부 평균된 역방향 흐름의 면적과 박리 지점(separation point)의 관계를 분석한 결과, 역방향 흐름의 오른쪽으로 기울어진 분포와 대규모 흐름 방출 현상이 관측되었다. 박리 지점의 위치와 수리 매개변수의 관계를 분석한 결과, 상류의 수심 증가에 따라 증가하는 경향이 나타났다.

  • In this work, we propose a new idea of flapping airfoil design for optimal aerodynamic performance from detailed computational investigations of flow physics. Generally, flapping motion which is combined with pitching and plunging motion of airfoil, leads to complex flow features such as leading edge separation and vortex street. As it is well known, the mechanism of thrust generation of flapping airfoil is based on inverse Karman-vortex street. This vortex street induces jet-like flow field at the rear region of trailing edge and then generates thrust. The leading edge separation vortex can also play an important role with its aerodynamic performances. The flapping airfoil introduces an alternative propulsive way instead of the current inefficient propulsive system such as a propeller in the low Reynolds number flow. Thrust coefficient and propulsive efficiency are the two major parameters in the design of flapping airfoil as propulsive system. Through numerous computations, we found the specific physical flow phenomenon which governed the aerodynamic characteristics in flapping airfoil. Based on this physical insight, we could come up with a new kind of airfoil of tadpole-shaped and more enhanced aerodynamic performance.

  • In this study, hydraulic characteristics for upstream migration of fish in a pool-and-weir fishway were analyzed through experiment. The results showed that streaming flow was preferable to plunging flow for upstream migration of fish and it was not good to make an orifice beneath the septum since it generates turbulent jet and eddies. Protrusions on the side wall of fishway were preferable to grooves since they decelerate flow velocity and make upstream migration easy. A vertically movable septum was necessary for a flushing of deposited bed material, and net installing over fishway was also needed for birds not to approach the fishway and eat fish.

  • Cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification technique may contribute a lot in the field of reproductive biotechnology. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effectiveness of two cryo-devices for vitrification of immature oocytes of indigenous zebu cows. Slaughter house derived immature cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) of cows were vitrified using 15% dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) as cryoprotective agent (CPA) with 0.5 mol sucrose in TCM 199 supplemented with 20% FBS. Vitrification of COCs was completed after immediate plunging of COCs loaded cryotop or French mini straw into the liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$). Then the COCs containing cryotop or French mini straws were warmed in 0.25 mol sucrose and 20% FBS supplemented TCM 199 followed by in vitro culture in $50{\mu}l$ droplets of bicarbonate buffered TCM 199 supplemented with 10% FBS, pyruvate, FSH and oestradiol for 24 hrs at $39^{\circ}C$ with 5% CO2 in humidified air. After maturation culture, oocytes were denuded and examined under inverted microscope for presence of polar body as the indication of maturation. Denuded oocytes were also stained by whole mount technique using 1% orcein to examine the maturation by presence of MII chromosomes. The in vitro maturation rate was significantly (p<0.05) higher in oocytes vitrified and warmed using crytop ($47.1{\pm}6.9%$) than that of French mini straw ($15.9{\pm}12.5%$). Moreover, in vitro maturation rate was significantly (p<0.05) highe r in control oocytes (not vitrified) ($84.5{\pm}14.2%$) than that of vitrified oocytes. In conclusion, cryotop is better than French mini straw as cryo-device for vitrification of bovine immature oocytes.
