The combined effects of radius ratio and roughness pitch ratio on the turbulent fluid flow characteristics of the fully developed flow in the annullar tubes with rib-roughened core walls were determined for Reynolds number ranging from 12,000 to 66,000. To understand the underlying physical phenomena responsible for friction factor enhancement, measurements of velocity profiles and zero shear stress and maximum velocity positions were combined to propose the friction factor correlation. Friction factors were found to be a function of the roughness pitch ratio and radius ratio.

In order to compute linear wave transformation over a single step bottom, both variational approximation and eigenfunction expansion method are used. Both numerical results are in good agreement for reflection and transmission coefficients, surface displacement respectively. However x velocity profiles at the boundary of step are seen to be different to each other even though x velocity matching condition is used.

A general purpose program for the analysis of flows in a gas turbine combustor is developed. The program uses non-staggered grids based on finite volume method and the cartesian velocities as primitive variables. A flow inside the C-type diffuser is simulated to check the boundary fitted coordinate. The velocity profiles at cross section agree well with experimental results. A turbulent diffusion flame behind a bluff body is simulated for the combustion simulation. Simulated results show good agreement with experimental data. Finally, a turbulent flow with swirl in a gas turbine combustor was simulated. The results show two recirculating region and simulated velocity fields agree well with experimental data. The distance between two recirculating regions becomes shorter as swirl angle increases. Swirl angle changes angular momentum and streamlines in flow fields.

The effects of pulsation in a pulsating flow through a rectangular channel have been investigated by Particle Image Velocimetry in both laminar and turbulent flow conditions. PIV results on a square channel (aspect ratio:1) have been reported on the cases of Reynolds number Re=80 in laminar and Re=8800 in turbulent region. For both in the laminar and turbulent regions, the influence of the pulsation onto the magnitude changes of the average velocity was negligible. In the turbulent region, the magnitude profiles of the stream-wise pulsating component obtained by the theoretical analysis based on the Stokes analogy were slightly different from the experimental ones due to the influence of the turbulent viscosities onto the pulsating flows.

The motion of an aircraft landing gear over rough runway at variable speed is nonstationary. In this paper a method for the computation of nonstationary response variance is presented which uses a state space form for the combination of landing gear and runway excitation. The dynamic characteristics of the landing gear under nonstationary random excitations has also been analyzed using the proposed method. The formulation is for linear systems of arbitrary order and allows any deterministic velocity history. It has been found by a series of simulation that correlation parameter, damping coefficients of landing gear and tire, and velocity profiles plays a prominent role on the dynamic characteristics.

We have solved the radiative transfer problem using a Sobolev approximation with an escape probability method in case of the supersonic expansion of a stellar envelope to an ambient medium. The radiation from the expanding envelope turns out to produce a P-Cygni type profile. In order to investigate the morphology of the theoretical P-Cygni type profile, we have treated $V_\infty,\;V_{sto},\;\beta$ (parameters for the velocity field), it and E(parameter for collisional effect) as model parameters. We have investigated that the velocity field and the mass loss rate affect the shapes of the P-Cygni type profiles most effectively. The secondarily important factors are $V_\infty,\;V_{sto}$. The collisional effect tends to make the total flux increased but not so much in magnitude. We have infered some physical parameters of 68 Cyg, HD24912, and $\xi$ persei such as $V_\infty,\;M$ from the model calculation, which shows a good agreenment with the observational results.

Low frequency sound propagation in a range-dependent shallow water environment of the Korea Strait has been studied by using the adiabatic coupled mode, ADIAB. The range-dependent environment is unique in terms of horizontal variations of sound velocity profiles, sediment thickness and attenuation coefficients and water depths. For shallow source and receiver depths, the most important mechanism involved in the propagation loss is the depth changing character of mode functions that strongly depends on the local sound velocity profile. Application of the adiabatic coupled mode theory to shallow water environment is reasonable when higher modes are attenuated due to bottom interaction effects. Underwater sound propagation in a range-dependent shallow-water environment.

The metal transfer phenomenon of the pulsed-GMAW is simulated by formulating the electromagnetic force incorporated with the Volume of Fluid algorithm. The free surface profiles, pressure and velocity distributions within the drop are computed numerically. Axial velocity and acceleration generated during peak current period are found to have a significant effect on drop detachment. Therefore, the accelerated inertia force becomes one of important factors affecting metal transfer in the pulsed-GMAW. When the pulse current parameters are selected properly, the molten drop is detached just after current pulse, and the operating range of the pulsing frequency increases with higher peak current and duty cycle. Calculated operating ranges show reasonably good agreements with the available experimental data.

The initial flow characteristics of the turbulent circular jet discharging into the sudden expansion pipes have been investigated by the hot wire anemometry. Evolutions of similarity, centerline behavior, jet boundary and typical turbulent quantities were looked into for the expansion ratios. The results show that the spreading rates of discharging jet seem not to be dependent of the expansion ratio and that the velocity profiles in the radial directions exhibit the similarity in the regions, 2-5d, 2-6d and 3-8d for the corresponding expansion rations of 2, 3 and 5, respectively. With the increase of expansion ratio the centerline velocity decays rather slowly. The anisotropic behaviors of the discharging jets into the sudden expansion pipe look stronger than those of the free jet.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of a stationary blade for six kinds of measuring angles of attack, $0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;20^{\circ}\;and\;30^{\circ}$ at Reynolds number of $5.8{\times}10^4$. Instant simultaneous velocity vectors around blade were measured by 2-D PIV system where laser-based illumination and two-frame grey-level cross correlation algorithm were adopted. Velocity profiles show uniform approaching flow from the straightening equipment, and experimental results reveal that separation phenomena occur and the separation point moves upstream with increasing angle of attack.
