Seawater flow characteristics around a manganese nodule mining device in deep sea were analyzed through numerical investigation. The mining device influences the seawater flow field with complicated velocity distributions, and they are largely dependent on the seawater flow speed, device moving speed, and injection velocity from the collecting part. The flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy distributions are compared at several positions from the device rear, side, and top, and it is possible to predict the distance from which the mining device affects the seawater flow field through the variation of turbulent kinetic energy. With the operation of the collecting device the turbulent kinetic energy remarkably increases, and it gradually decreases along the seawater flow direction. Turbulent kinetic energy behind the mining system increases with the seawater flow velocity. The transient behavior of nodule particles, which are not collected, is also predicted. This study will be helpful in creating an optimal design for a manganese nodule collecting device that can operate efficiently and which is eco-friendly.

수치 해석을 통하여 이차유동을 포함한 핵연료봉 주위의 난류 유동장을 예측하였다. 등방성 난류와 점성계수 모델과 이차 유동을 모사하기 위해 단순화된 대수응력모델을 사용하여 난류 운동 에너지 (k)와 난류 에너지 소멸률($\varepsilon$)의 이 방정식 모델과 운동량 방정식을 유한 차분법으로 풀어 유동장내의 평균속도, 이차유동, 난류 운동 에너지, 난류 응력 분포 등을 구하였다. 수치해석 예측치를 실험데이타와 비교하여 만족할만한 결과를 얻었고 유동장내에서 이차유동의 영향을 확인하였다. 즉 이차유동이 절대 크기는 작더라도 대류 효과에 의해 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 본 연구를 통해 알 수 있었다.

The two dimensional PIV (particle image velocimetry) measurement technique is applied to water flow in a narrow cavitation tunnel. The nearly homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows are generated by the honeycomb installed in the tunnel and visualized with a PIV technique. The velocities in the measurement plane at the tunnel centerline 184cm downward from the honeycomb were measured and calculated by an image correlation technique. The turbulent properties are evaluated and each term in the turbulent kinetic energy equation is calculated for the conditions with different internal pressures. Lowering the internal pressure gives an effect on the turbulent flow due to growing bubbles which are resolved in the water. The turbulent kinetic energy in the measurement plane is decayed much slower than those of other research results carried out with wind tunnels. With decreasing the tunnel internal pressures the turbulent intensities are increased about 1.5 times and the anisotropic tendency is also increased.

많은 장점에도 불구하고 유동함수를 이용한 수치해석용 격자생성 좌표변환기법의 단점은 저속영역에서의 격자간격이 고속영역에 비해 상대적으로 큼에 따라 수치적 처리에 많은 오차를 내포하고 있다는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 저속영역에서의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 격자간격을 속도크기 및 영역에 따라 적절히 조절할 수 있도록 수학적으로 변형된 압축성 유동함수를 이용한 좌표변환기법을 제안하고 가스터빈엔진에 주로 적용되는 유동모델로서 동심원상 두개 이상의 난류제트혼합유동에 대해 적용하였으며 해당 실험치, 즉 축 방향 평균속도분포, 난류운동에너지, 그리고 난류전단응력분포와 비교하여 난류운동에너지가 약간 과소평가 된 대칭축을 제외한 혼합경계층 내에서 $3.5\%$ 이내의 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 본 기법은 특히 터보팬엔진에 대한 내부흐름들의 혼합유동을 규명하거나 또는 난류전단응력에 의한 제트소음발생 및 저감방법을 도모하는데 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper investigated the characteristics of the turbulent incompressible flow past the orifice ring in an axi-symmetric pipe. The flow field was the turbulent pulsatile flow for Reynolds number of $2{\times}10^{5}$ which was defined based on the maximum velocity and the pipe diameter at the inlet, with oscillating frequence $(f_{os})=1/4{\pi}$ which was considered as quasi-steady state frequence. In the present investigation, finite analytic method was used to solve the governing equations in Navier Stokes and turbulent transport formulations. Particularly at high Reynolds number and low oscillation frequency, the effects of orifice ring on the flow were numerically investigated. The separation zone behind the orifice ring during the acceleration phase was found to be decreased. However, during the deceleration phase, the separation behind the orifice ring for pulsatile flow continuously grow to a size even larger than that in steady flow. The pressure drop in steady flow was found to be constant and always positive while for pulsatile flow the pressure drop change with time. And large turbulent kinetic energy, dissipation rate were found to be located in the region where the flow passes through the orifics ring. The maximum turbulent kinetic energy, generally occurs along the shear layer where the velocity gradient is large.

A direct numerical simulation is performed to analyze the effects of a localized time-periodic blowing on a turbulent boundary layer flow at R $e_{+}$=300. Main emphasis is placed on the blowing frequency effect on near-wall turbulent flow structures at downstream. Wall-normal velocity on a spanwise slot is varied periodically at different frequencies (0.004$\leq$ $f^{＋}$$\leq$0.080). The amplitude of periodic blowing is $A^{＋}$=0.5 in wall nit, which corresponds to the value of $v_{rms}$ at $y^{＋}$=15 without blowing. The frequency responses are scrutinized by examining the phase or time-averaged turbulent statistics. The optimal frequency ( $f^{＋}$=0.03) is observed, where maximum increase in Reynolds shear stress, streamwise vorticity fluctuations and energy redistribution occurs. The phase-averaged stretching and tilting term are investigated to analyze the increase of streamwise vorticity fluctuations which are closely related to turbulent coherent structures. It is found that the difference between PB and SB at a high blowing frequencies is negligible.e.e.

This paper covers the numerical studies performed to investigate the characteristics of turbulent wake generated by a submarine, SUBOFF model. A SUBOFF model assumed as an axial-symmetric body was used to generate wake. The numerical simulation was performed by using a commercial S/W, FLUENT, with the same condition as the experiments by Shin et al.(2009). Mainly the cross-sectional distribution of the time-averaged mean wake and turbulent kinetic energy was compared with the experiments. Both results are agreed well with each other in the propeller wake section, but the agreement between both is not so satisfied in the far wake field. It means that more numerous number of grid points and their concentration should be required in that field.

The piezoelectric bimorph film, which, as an actuator, can generate more effective displacement than the usual PVDF film, is used to control the turbulent boundary-layer flow. The change of wall pressures inside the turbulent boundary layer is observed by using the multi-channel microphone array flush-mounted on the surface when actuation at the non-dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028 is applied to the turbulent boundary layer. The wall pressure characteristics by the actuation to produce local displacement are more dominantly influenced by the size of the actuator module than the actuation frequency. The movement of large-scale turbulent structures to the upper layer is found to be the main mechanism of the reduction in the wall- pressure energy spectrum when the 700$700{\nu}/u_{\tau}$-long bimorph film is periodically actuated at the non- dimensional frequency $f_b^+$:=0.008 and 0.028. The biomorph actuator is triggered with the time delay for the active forcing at a single frequency when a 1/8' pressure-type, pin-holed microphone sensor detects the large-amplitude pressure event by the turbulent spot. The wall-pressure energy in the late-transitional boundary layer is partially reduced near the convection wavenumber by the open-loop control based on the large amplitude event.

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.

Turbulence on the journal bearing operation is examined. And the thermal variability is studied for isothermal, convective and adiabatic conditions on the walls within some degree of journal misalignment. An efficient algorithm for the solution of the coupled turbulent Reynolds and energy equations is used to examine the effects of the various factors. The calculation data of turbulent analysis are compared with the ones of laminar analysis. Heat convection is found to play but a small role in determining friction and load. The friction distribution patterns through inside a journal bearing now appear different with high values at the front part of the bearing due to the high speed and low temperature, and a sudden decrease past the pressure maximum.
