The unsteady vortex lattice method is used to model twisting and flapping motions of a rectangular flat plate wing. The results for plunging and pitching motions were compared with the limited experimental results available and other numerical methods. They show that the method is capable of simulating many of the features of complex flapping flight. The lift, thrust and propulsive efficiency of a rectangular flat plate wing have been calculated for various twisting angles and reduced frequency with an amplitude of flapping angle($20^{\circ}$). And the effects of the twisting on the aerodynamic characteristics of the flapping wing are discussed by examination of their trends.

Liquid flow in a stirring mixer driven by a six-blade turbine has been investigated experimentally. The flows were quantified by measurements of velocity characteristics. obtained by a Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). for a blade rotational speed of 100r.p.m. and for two blade clearances from the bottom of the tank. The instantaneous flow fields show that the bulk flow consists of small scale vortices very complicately. However, the mean flow results show that the formation of ring vortices above and below the blade. which depend on the clearance.

In heavy nuclear power plant, high energy through main steam line is provided to turbine that generate the electric power. Since plant had generated power, high noise has been occurred. Noise make equipments and work environment worse. For finding out the location and the cause of making noise, noise was measured along main steam line at open/close test of Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV hereafter). As the result, it was identified that the vortex shedding in the cavity of MSIV is main noise source. The profile change of MSIV seat ring was proposed as the method of noise reduction. After filletting MSIV seat ring, the noise level reduced $10{\sim}20dB$ compared before the change of profile.

A numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the effect of height position of Rushton type Impeller in the fermentation. The computational method was based on the CFX code. The simulation was performed for 3 height differences(25, 30, 35mm) between Rushton type impeller and bottom of fermentation. The instantaneous flow fields showed that the bulk flow consisted of large scale vortices. However the main flow results showed that the formation of ring vortices above and below the impeller depended on the height of the impeller.

본 연구에서는 와선 지배방정식의 계산을 위해 쌍곡선 blending 함수를 이용하여 와선운동의 정확한 계산을 할 수 있었고 이 방법을 통하여 임의로 거동하는 와선이 강체구와 간섭하는 경우의 3차원 유동장에 대한 해석과 이에 의한 쌍극 음향장 해석을 수행하였다. 경계치 적분방법을 통해 강체구에 작용하는 힘을 계산할 수 있었고 이 방법은 물체의 형태에 구애 받지 않으므로 임의 형상에 대해서도 유동장과 음향장 계산이 가능하다고 본다.

Several visualization techniques of laser diagnostics are presented for combustion phenomena, including Mie scattering for flow, Rayleigh and Raman scattering spectroscopy for major species, laser-induced fluorescence for minor species, and laser-induced incandescence for soot. These techniques have been applied to understand the various combustion phenomena more clearly, including buoyancy-dominant flow system, diffusion flam oscillation, laminar and turbulent lifted flames, flame propagation along a vortex ring, and soot zone characteristics. The usefulness of laser diagnostics on a better understanding of physical mechanism is demonstrated.

Interactions between a propeller and vortex system contained in a ship stern flow is treated theoretically. A new formulation to determine the effective velocity distributions is developed, which may be immediately applicable to the design and analysis of compound propulsors under the influence of severe vortical cross-flows around ship stern. An axisymmetric shear flow is represented by a system of ring vortices and the axial variation of the stream lines due to the action of propeller is represented by a cubic function. The strengths of ring vortices, which are varying along the stream lines, are determined by the conservation of angular momentum. Two simplified effective velocity models are proposed to confirm the theory. Sample calculations using the simplified models are made to compare with the results by other investigators.

Hull-propeller-rudder interactions are studied by the iterative computational procedures. Hull effects on the propeller are reflected through the effective velocities computed by the vortex ring method which used the measured nominal wake as input data. A potential based panel method has been developed to solve the propeller-rudder interactions using the obtained effective velocities. Steady flow characteristics around the rudder surface can be obtained by computing the induced velocities on the rudder by the propeller and vice versa are computed by the iterative manner until the converged solutions are obtained. Flow characteristics around the propeller and the rudder are measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry(L.D.V.) in large cavitation tunnel at Samsung Heavy industries. The gap flow model is adopted to solve the characteristics of the horn rudder. Numerical results are compared with the experimental values and the computed velocity fields and pressure distributions with rudder angle on the horn rudder surface show good agreement with measured ones in large cavitation tunnel.

The wind can be stronger and steadier further from shore, but water depth is also deeper. Then bottom-mounted towers are not feasible, and floating turbines are more competitive. There are additional motions in an offshore floating wind turbine, which results in a more complex aerodynamics operating environment for the turbine rotor. Many aerodynamic analysis methods rely on blade element momentum theory to investigate aerodynamic load, which are not valid in vortex ring state that occurs in floating wind turbine operations. So, vortex lattice method, which is more physical, was used in this analysis. Floating platform's prescribed positions were calculated in the time domain by using floating system RAO and waves that are simulated using JONSWAP spectrum. The average value of in-plane aerodynamic force increase, but the value of out-of-plane force decrease. The maximum variation aerodynamic force abruptly increases in severe sea state. Especially, as the pitch motion of the barge platform is large, this motion should be avoided to decrease the aerodynamic load variation.

The flow around a circular cylinder was controlled by attaching O-rings to reduce drag force acting on the cylinder. Four experimental models were tested in this study; one smooth cylinder of diameter D (D=60mm) and three cylinders fitted with O-rings of diameters d=0.0167 D, 0.05D and 0.067 D with pitches of PPD=2D, 1D, 0.5D and 0.25D. The drag force, mean velocity and turbulence Intensity profiles in the near wake behind the cylinders were measured for Reynolds numbers based on the cylinder diameter in the range of Re$_{D}$=7.8$\times$10$^3$~1.2$\times$10$^{5}$ . At Re$_{D}$=1.2$\times$10$^{5}$ , the cylinder fitted with O-rings of d=0.0167D in a pitch interval of 0.25D shows the maximum drag reduction of about 5.4%, compared that with the smooth cylinder. The drag reduction effect of O-rings of d=0.067D is not so high. For O-ring circulars, as the Reynolds number increases, the peak location of turbulence intensity shifts downstream and the peak magnitude is decreased. Flow field around the cylinders was visualized using a smoke-wire technique to see the flow structure qualitatively. The size of vortices and vortex formation region formed behind the O-ring cylinders are smaller, compared with the smooth cylinder.der.
