An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of turbulent water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. To determine some characteristics of the turbulent flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement and liquid crystal is used for heat transfer experiments in water. Temperature visualization was made quantitatively by calibrating the color of the liquid crystal versus temperature using various approaches (TLC technique: Thermochromic Liquid Crystal), and a neural-network algorithm was applied to the color-to-temperature calibration. This study shoud the temperature and time-mean velocity distribution for Re = 2,436, 2,500 and 2,724 along longitudinal sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable.

In order to investigate the soot formation and oxidation processes, we employed the two variable approach and its source terms representing soot nucleation, coagulation, surface growth and oxidation. For the simulation of the taxi-symmetric turbulent reacting flows, the pressure-velocity coupling is handled by the pressure based finite volume method. We also employed laminar flamelet model to calculate the thermo-chemical properties and the proper soot source terms from the information of detailed chemical kinetic model. The numerical and physical models used in this study successfully predict the essential features of the combustion processes and soot formation characteristics in the reacting flow field.

The suitability of high-order accurate, centered and upwind-biased compact difference schemes is evaluated for large eddy simulation of turbulent flow. Two turbulent flows are considered: turbulent channel flow at Re = 23000 and flow over a circular cylinder at Re = 3900. The effects of numerical dissipation on the finite differencing and aliasing errors and the subgrid-scale stress are investigated. It is shown through the simulations that compact upwind schemes are not suitable for LES, whereas the fourth order-compact centered scheme is a good candidate for LES provided that proper dealiasing of nonlinear terms is performed. The classical issue on the aliasing error and the treatment of nonlinear terms is revisited with compact difference schemes.

A Navier-stokes based finite volume method has been developed to analyze an incompressible, steady state, turbulent wall-jet flow. The standard k-e model, the RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model and their nonlinear counterparts are adopted as a closure relationship. Comparison with the experimental data shows that a linear ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model performs satisfatorily for two-dimensional wall-jet flows. However, as the flow becomes three dimensional, the linear model fails to predict the spanwise jet growth accurately and the nonlinear model needs to be adopted to capture three-dimensional flow characteristics.

The confined slot air jet impinging normally on a moving flat surface has been investigated numerically by using commercial CFD code Ansys CFX-V11. Turbulent flows are modeled using k-w turbulence model. Two-dimensional turbulent flow is considered. Calculations were conducted for a nozzle-to-plate spacing of eight slot nozzle width, at three Reynolds number(Re=4500, 6700 and 10,000) and four surface-to-velocity ratios i.e. 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1. Results are compared against corresponding cases for heat transfer from a stationary plate. Local Nusselt number is calculated under constant wall temperature condition. The analysis reveals that the average Nusselt number increases considerably with the jet exit Reynolds number, but decrease with the plate velocity.

A PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) diagnostic technique for the evaluation of the flow characteristics in refrigerator is introduced. Smoke particles of which density is small enough to follow up the air flow are used for visualization of the air flows in the refrigerators. A rectangular room model is tested for the verifications of the dignostic technique. By evaluating the turbulent intensity and the deviation value of the turbulent intensity distribution that were obtained from PIV results, an optimal ventilating condition is suggested. The constructed technique is used for the diagnostics on the flow of an actual refrigerator. It has experimentally proved that the present technique is able to evaluate the ventilation conditions of refrigerators.

Numerical simulations of turbulent flows around KCS have been performed to study the sensitivity of ship resistance to wall-adjacent grids and disclose the influence of near-wall treatment on the sensitivity of ship resistance. The resistance coefficients of viscous and pressure forces were compared when using realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ and SST $k-{\omega}$ turbulence models in structured and unstructured grids, respectively. The calculation of friction velocity was found to be mainly responsible for the reduction of viscous and total resistances when the height of wall-adjacent cells increased. Since the assumption of equilibrium state between turbulent production and dissipation was not met in a bulbous bow, it was more reasonable to iteratively calculate the friction velocity from empirical laws of the wall for near-wall treatment rather than explicitly estimate it from the turbulent kinetic energy.

When the systolic blood pressure is high, intermittent turbulence in blood flow appears in the aorta and carotid artery with stenosis during the systolic period. The turbulent blood flow is difficult to analyze using the Newtonian turbulence model due to the viscous characteristics of blood flow. As the shear rate is increased, the blood viscosity decreases by the viscoelastic properties of blood and a drag reduction phenomenon occurs in turbulent blood flow. Therefore, a new non-Newtonian turbulent model is required for viscoelastic fluid and hemodynamics. The main aims of this study were to develop a non-Newtonian turbulence model using the drag reduction phenomenon based on the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model for a general non-Newtonian fluid. This was validated with the experimental data and has a good tendency for non-Newtonian turbulent flow. In addition, the computation time and resources were lower than those of the low Reynolds number turbulent model. A modified turbulent model was used to analyze various turbulent blood flows.

이 글에서는 난류유동의 수치모사 기법으로서 최근 주목을 받고 있는 LES에 대해서 살펴보았다. LES의 개념은 공간에서의 여고에 근거를 두고 있으며 따라서 난류모델은 작은 스케일의 유동 구조에만 국한된다. LES의 이러한 장점은 DNS에 좀도 가까운 난류모델링의 가능성을 의미한다. 또한 그간 발전된 LES의 기법들에 대해 고찰해보았으며 LES는 DNS의 처선책으로서 난류유 동을 예측하기 위한 도구로서 그 전망은 매우 밝다.
