Aerodynamic sounds generated by a uniform flow around a two-dimensional circular cylinder at Re=150 are simulated by applying the finite difference lattice Boltzmann method. Thethird-order-accurate up-wind scheme (UTOPIA) is used for the spatial derivatives, and the second-order-accurate Runge-Kutta scheme is applied for the time marching. We have succeed in capturing very small pressure fluctuations with the same frequency of the Karman vortex street compared with the pressure fluctuation around a circular cylinder. The propagation velocity of the acoustic waves shows that the points of peak pressure are biased upstream due to the Doppler effect in the uniform flow. For the downstream, on the other hand, it is faster. It is also apparent that the amplitude of sound pressure is proportional to r /sup -1/2/,r being the distance from the center of the circular cylinder. To investigate the effect of the lattice dependence, furthermore, 2D computations of the tone noises radiated by a square cylinder and NACA0012 with a blunt trailing edge at high incidence and low Reynolds number are also investigate.

Direct Numerical Simulation(DNS) of turbulent mass transfer in fully developed turbulent pipe flow has been performed to study the effect of wall boundary conditions on the concentration fields at $Re_{\tau}$=180 based on friction velocity and pipe radius. Fully developed turbulent pipe flows for Sc=0.71 are studied with two different wall boundary conditions, namely, constant mass flux and constant wall concentration. The mean concentration profiles and turbulent mass fluxes obtained from the present DNS are in good agreement with the previous numerical results currently available. To investigate the effects of wall boundary condition on the turbulent mass transfer, the mean concentration profile, root-mean-square of concentration fluctuation, turbulent mass fluxes and higher-order statistics(Skewness and Flatness factor) are compared for the two cases. Furthermore, the budgets of turbulent mass fluxes and concentration variance were computed and analyzed to elucidate the effects of wall boundary conditions on the turbulent mass transfer.

This paper describes development procedure and verification test results of a bi-propellant thruster using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene. The design thrust of the thruster is about 500 N and six swirl type coaxial injectors were used. The passage type manifolds were employed for the injector head to reduce the response time. The passage was designed to minimize stagnation points and recirculation region to ensure uniform flow distribution and sufficient cooling performance through flow analysis using Fluent. A catalytic igniter using hydrogen peroxide was installed at the center of the injector head. The propellant feeding and spray characteristics were confirmed by hydraulic tests. Combustion tests were performed on design and off-design points to analyze combustion characteristics under various mixture ratio conditions. The combustion test results show that combustion efficiency was over 95 % and chamber pressure fluctuation were less than 1.5 % under all test conditions.

Combustion tests of a low thrust rocket engine was performed to get combustion characteristics, which used a high concentrated hydrogen peroxide and kerosene as the oxidizer and fuel. The engine consisted of multi injector(six coaxial swirl injectors), chamber, nozzle and catalyst ignition system. The test was carried out by changing O/F ratio from 3.8 to 11.0. The experimental results showed that combustion efficiency was highest at O/F ratio from 5 to 6 and pressure fluctuations of all the range were lower than 5%.

The behavior of a plane buoyant jet within the zone of flow establishment(ZFE) which is discharged vertically upward into a stagnant uniform environment, is analyzed by the integral equations of mass, momentum and tracer conservation. The analysis includes the spreading ratio with Froude number and geometry of the potential core of ZFE and the length of ZFE. The central velocity at the end of ZFE is found to be influenced significantly by buoyancy, especially at low discharge Froude number. The results provide the necessary initial conditions for the investigation of the zone of established flow.

A comparative study on the treatment of the turbulent heat flux with the elliptic blending second-moment closure for a natural convection flow is performed. Three cases of different treating the turbulent heat flux are considered. Those are the generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis (GGDH), the algebraic flux model (AFM) and the differential flux model (DFM). The constants in the models are adjusted with a primary emphasis placed on the accuracy of predicting the local Nusselt number. These models are implemented in a computer code specially designed for evaluation of turbulent models. Calculations are performed for a turbulent natural convection in the 1:5 rectangular cavity and the calculated results are compared with the available experimental data. The results show that the three models produce nearly the same accuracy of solutions. These results show that the GGDH, AFM and DFM models for treating the turbulent heat flux are sufficient for this simple shear flow where the shear production is dominant. It is observed that, in the weakly stratified region at the center zone of the cavity, the vertical velocity fluctuation is nearly zero in the GGDH solutions, which shows that the GGDH model may not be suitable for the strongly stratified flow. Thus, further study on the strongly stratified flow should be followed.

The elliptic relaxation model(ERM) with the inhomogeneous correction intermediate between near wall with and far from the wall. The source of the ERM usually was appled quasi-homogeneous pressure-strain correlation in homogeneous situations. This formulation was easily applied to the linear model or non-linear pressure-strain model. It is observed that the boundary conditions of the relaxation operator dominate the homogeneous pressure-strain model in the near wall region. While looking at high-Reynolds number flows, it was found necessary to modify the effect of the relaxation operator throughout the log region by accounting for gradients of the flatness variable and turbulent length scales. These effects are kinematic blocking of the wall normal velocity fluctuation and pressure reflections from the surface. This model is wall distances and unit vectors which make the model applicable to flows boundary by a complex geometry. Inhomogeneous correction model is computed inertial and non-inertial channel flow These are compared DNS(Kim et at., Kristofffrsen & Andersson) for channel flow. The present model could be predicted well for rotating flows.

The effect of equivalence ratio and velocity on the stability of flame in dump combustor was studied in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory scathe dump combustor operating natural gas. Traditionally, peak-to-peak pressure, fluctuation of the heat release rate and Rayleigh index were used to find and control the combustion instability. Cross correlation coefficients, Ci,j which is defined as the normalized value of the integration of the product of two of the mixer pressure, dump plane pressure and heat release rate, are introduced to see whether the flame is stable or not. Ci,j shows more sensitive to combustion status than Rayleigh index in steadily burning flame. Also, the result indicates that the amplitude of Ci,j between heat release and mixer pressure goes up before the flame at the rich de-stabilizing equivalence ratio near $\psi$=0.85. t means Ci:j at this case has a potential to detect the de-stablizing moment in prior to becoming unstable in dump combustor.

An experimental investigation is conducted to find out the large scale coherent structures in the intermediate wake past a rotating cylinder with a single tripping wire attached. Relation between the vortex shedding frequency and the spin rate of rotating cylinder and the effects of the tripping wire on the flow characteristics were studied by using spectral analysis and conditional phase average technique, respectively. It is found that the vortex shedding frequency is bound to a certain range and varies regularly as spin rate increases. The coherent structures are compared with those of the plain rotating cylinder in the case of spin rate of 1.0. Distance between the upper and lower center of vortices increase and the vortex shedding time is delayed, the velocity fluctuation energy decreases near the center line of vortices and it spreads out to the outer region. The Reynolds shear stress increases highly in the upper region and the turbulent wake width expands with strong entrainment process.

This paper considered the structural mechanism of transitional boundary layer by the experimental approach. In order to measure the turbulence quantity in the boundary layer, we made a wind tunnel with 400${\times}$190${\times}$2500 mm test section and a flat plate with well fabricated leading edge. Hot wire anemometer was used for acquiring the continuous turbulence signal which is processed by special software. The results of experiment show that the region where turbulence spot is dominant moves from near wall to overall layer and thus the anisotropy of velocity fluctuation shows so large value. Also the turbulence energy originally contained in low frequency band comes up to the high frequency band. Finally the turbulence model needs minimum two length scales to consider the pre-transition region.
