At downstream part of the hydraulic structures such as spiliway or drainage gate, jet flow can occur by gate opening. If stream bed is not hard or bed protection is not sufficient, scour hole will be formed due to high shear stress of the jet flow. We call this primary scour. Once the scour hole is formed, a vortex occurs in it and this vortex causes additional scour. We call this secondary scour. The primary scour proceeds to downstream together with flow direction but the secondary one proceeds to upstream direction opposite to it. If the secondary one continues and reaches to the hydraulic structure, it can undermine the bottom of hydraulic structure and this will lead to failure of structure itself. Thus, it is necessary to know the physical features of the vortex structure in a scour hole, which is the main mechanism of the secondary scour. This study deals with the characteristics of the vortex structure and its shear stress which causes the secondary scour.

Today, the research to examine a fact that interaction between the air and the fluid free surface affects the steady state flow and air. We proved the interaction between vortex pairs and free surface on each condition that is created by the end of delta wings. Another purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of surface active material which call change the surface tension and we must consider when we refer to turbulent flow on surface tension. Therefore, this research examined the growth process of vortex pairs on condition of clean, contaminated free surface and wall after we made vortex pairs through counter rotating flaps. The results of this study suggest that vortex pairs in clean free surface rise safely but the vortex pairs in contaminated free surface and rigid, no slip is made secondary vortex or rebounding. However the secondary vortex in rigid, no slip is stronger than before. and we can find the vortex shape which roll up more completely. However, these will disappear by the effect of wall.

In this study, the effect of obstacle aspect ratio on vortex in building canyon was numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) model. The sensitivity experiments were performed in the cases of increasing building length(L) and height(H) by the width(W) of building canyon. The wind vector fields and secondary reverse vortex in building canyon were discussed in this study. For the horizontal vortex, the vortex zone increased as the building length increases, but the vectors at the middle of building canyon began to change in the case of L/W=2.5. In the case of L/W=3.0, the smaller primary vortex was presented with the secondary reverse vortex. For the vertical vortex, the vortex zone increased as the building height increases, but the direction of vectors at the bottom of building canyon began to change in the case of H/W=2.5. In the case of H/W=3.5, the smaller primary vortex was presented with the secondary reverse vortex.

Centrifugal pump shows the strongest secondary flow. Wake is formed near pressure surface close to hub at impeller exit for centrifugal pump impeller. Pressure gradient drives secondary flow in the inducer region, while in the remaining region the following sources drive together: > Pressure gradient > Coriolis force Low-momentum fluid near suction surface hub moves toward pressure surface hub in mixed-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow pump impeller. Tip leakage vortex dominate secondary flow in axial-flow in axial-flow pump impeller

Secondary flow losses can be as high as 30~50% of the total aerodynamic losses for a turbo-machinery blade or stator row. These are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. Therefore, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the chamfered leading-edge at a generic wing-body junction to decrease the horseshoe vortex, one of factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and investigates the vortex generation and the characteristics of the horseshoe vortex with the chamfered height, and depth of the chamfer by using $FLUENT^{TM}$. It was found that the total pressure loss for the best case can be decreased about 1.55% compare to the baseline case.

A numerical analysis has been conducted in order to simulate the characteristics of complex flow through linear cascades of high performance turbine blade with/without tip clearance by using a pressure-correction based, generalized 3D incompressible Wavier-Stokes CFD code. The development and generation of horseshoe vortex, passage vortex, leakage vortex, tip vortex within tip clearance, etc. are clearly identified through the present simulation which uses the RNG k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model with wall function method and a second-order linear upwind scheme for convective terms. The present simulation results are consistent with the generally known tendency that occurs in the blade passage and tip clearance. A 3D model for secondary and leakage flows through turbine cascades with/without tip clearance is also suggested from the present simulation results, including the effects of tip clearance height.

The study on the wake vortex behavior during the aircraft's take-off and landing flight phase is critical to the flight safety of the aircraft, following close behind and the economy of the airport. The study on the wake vortex behavior should include the understanding of the ground effect on the behavior of the multiple wake vortices, generated from aircraft during the take-off and landing flight phase. In thia study, numerical schemes that can consider the ground effect were devised, by applying a vorticity boundary condition and an image method into the existing two-dimensional Fourier-spectral method. The present method was validated by comparing the present results, with the computed and measured data in the published literature. It was shown that the present method can predict the generation and behavior of the secondary vortex near the ground with reasonable accuracy. In future, the effect of the atmospheric conditions such as the stratification and the wind shear on the behavior of the vortex pair will be studied.

Secondary flow losses can be as high as 30~50% of the total aerodynamic losses generated in the cascade of a turbine. Therefore, these are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. As well, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the leading edge fences on a wing-body to decrease a horseshoe vortex, one of the factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and investigates the characteristics of the generated horseshoe vortex as the shape factors, such as the installed height, and length of the fence. The study was investigated using $FLUENT^{TM}$. Total pressure loss coefficient was improved about 4.0 % at the best case than the baseline.

The aerodynamic losses so attributed to the endwall - usually termed secondary flow losses or secondary losses - can be as high as 30$\sim$50% of the total aerodynamic losses in a blade or stator row. Inlet guide vanes, with lower total turning and higher convergence ratios, will have smaller secondary losses, amounting to as much as 20% of total loss for an inlet stator row. These are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. The present study deals with a leading edge chamfer groove on a wing-body to investigate the vortex generation and characteristics of a horseshoe vortex with the installed height, and depth of the groove. The current study is investigated with $FLUENT^{TM}$.
