A finite element model is studied to simulate unsteady free surface flow based on dynamic wave equation and collocation method. The collocation method is used in conjunction with Hermite polynomials, and resulting matrix equations are solved by skyline method. The model is verified by applying to hydraulic jump, nonlinear disturbance propagation and dam-break flow in a horizontal frictionless channel. The computed results are compared with those by Bubnov-Galerkin and Petrov-Galerkin methods. It is also applied to the North Han River to simulate the floodwave propagation. The computed results have good agreements with those of DWOPER model in terms of discharge hydrographs. The suggested model has proven to be one of the promising scheme for simulating the gradually and rapidly varied unsteady flow in open channels.

A high-order accurate Euler flow solver based on a discontinuous Galerkin method has been developed for the numerical simulation of unsteady flows on unstructured meshes. A multi-level solution-adaptive mesh refinement/coarsening technique was adopted to enhance the resolution of numerical solutions efficiently by increasing mesh density in the high-gradient region. An acoustic wave scattering problem was investigated to assess the accuracy of the present discontinuous Galerkin solver, and a supersonic flow in a wind tunnel with a forward facing step was simulated by using the adaptive mesh refinement technique. It was shown that the present discontinuous Galerkin flow solver can capture unsteady flows including the propagation and scattering of the acoustic waves as well as the strong shock waves.

A sudden discharge of mass flow from the exit of a duct can generate an impulsive wave, generally leading to undesirable noise and vibration problems. The present study develops an understanding of unsteady flow physics with regard to the impulsive wave discharged from a duct, using a numerical method. A second order total variation diminishing scheme is employed to solve three-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Euler equations. Computations are performed for several exit conditions with and without ground and wall effects under a change in the Mach number of an initial shock wave from 1.1 to 1.5. The results obtained show that the directivity and magnitude of the impulsive wave discharged from the duct are significantly influenced by the initial shock Mach number and by the presence of the ground and walls.

The unsteady flow characteristics and the related noise of separated incompressible laminar boundary layer flows (Re$\sub$$\delta$/* = 614, 868, and 1,063) are numerically investigated. The characteristic lines of the wall pressure are examined to identify the primary noise source, related with the unsteady motion of the vortex at the reattachment point of the separation bubble. The generation and propagation of the vortex-induced noise in the separated laminar boundary layer are computed by the method of Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA), and the effects of Reynolds number, Mach number and adverse pressure gradient strength are examined.

The tribrachial flame in laminar coflow jet has been investigated experimentally with unsteady propagating condition. In this experiment, we found that the tribrachial point has an angle of flame surface because the location of tribrachial point is not on the base point of flame but on the inclined surface of flame. This angle of Flame surface at tribrachial point are increasing when the flame is approaching to the nozzle exit. With considering this angle of flame surface, the radial velocity gradient can affect flame propagation speed by increasing flow-stretch effect. The propagation speed of tribrachial flame was calculated with including above stretch effect. The speed decreases with increasing velocity gradient due to the increment of stretch effect.

The propagation of the impulse wave discharged from the Inclined exit of a pipe is investigated through shock tube experiment and numerical computations. The pressure histories and directivities of the impulse wave propagating outside from the exit of pipe with several different configurations are analyzed for the range of the incident shock wave Mach number between 1.1 and 1.4. In the shock tube experiments, the impulse waves are visualized by a Schlieren optical system for the purpose of validation of computational work. Computations using the two-dimensional. unsteady, compressible, Euler equations are carried out to represent the experimented impulse waves. Computed Schlieren images predict the experimented impulse waves with a good accuracy. The results obtained show that for the radial direction the peak pressure of the impulse wave discharged depends upon the Inclined angle of the exit of the pipe. but for the axial direction it is almost constant regardless of the inclined angle of the pipe exit.

Shock-focusing concave reflectors can have parabolic, circular or elliptic cross-sections. They produce effectively a very high pressure at the focusing point. In the past, many optical images have been obtained on shock focusing via experiments. Measurement of field variables is, however, difficult in the experiment. Using the wave propagation algorithm and the Cartesian embedded boundary method, we have successfully obtained numerical Schlieren images that appear very much like the experimental results. In addition, we obtained the detailed field variables such as pressure, velocity, density and vorticity in the unsteady domain. The present numerical results have made it possible to understand the shock focusing phenomenon in more detail than before.

This experimental study describes the propagation characteristics of the impulse noise emitted from the exit of a straight pipe attached to the open end of a simple shock tube. The sound pressure level and directivity of the impulse noise propagating from the exit of pipe with several different diameters are measured in the far sound fold for the range of the incident shock wave Mach number between 1.07 and 1.26. The experimental results showed that the peak values of impulse noises had a strong dependance on the exit diameter of a pipe and the shock wave Mach number. The impulse noise had the directivity propagating toward to the pipe axis and the characteristics of inverse square law of propagation distance. Moreover, it was shown that the one-third octave band SPL of impulse noise was almost constant regardless of the frequency band.

Present study investigated the influence of time step size, turbulent eddy viscosity, and the number of layer on rapid and unsteady propagation of dam break flow. When the time step size had a value such that it resulted in Cr of 0.89, a significant numerical oscillation was observed in the vicinity of the wave front. Higher turbulent viscosity ensured smooth and mild slope of velocity and water stage compared with the flow behavior by no viscosity. The vertical velocity at the lower layer positioned near the bottom showed lower velocity compared with other layers.

Flow of fluid has been studied in various fields of fluid engineering. To hydraulic engineers, the unsteady flow such as pulsation and liquid hammering in pipes has been considered as a serious trouble. So we are supposed to approach the formalized mathematical model by using more exact momentum equation for fluid transmission lines. Most of recent studies fur pipe line have been studied without considerations of variation of viscosity and temperature, which are the main factors of pressure loss causing the friction of fluid inside pipe line. Frequency response experiments are carried out with use of a rotary sinusoidal flow generator to investigate wave equation take into account viscosity and temperature. But we observed that measured value of gains are reduced as temperature increased. And it was respectively observed that the measured value of gains are reduced and line width of gain is broadened out, when temperature was high in the same condition. As we confessed, pressure loss and phase delay are closely related with the length, diameter and temperature of pipe line. In addition, they are the most important factors, when we decide the momentum energy of working fluid.
