  • The experimental study of the hull surface roughness on a developing turbulent boundary layer which exposed to a variety of operating environments were investigated by performing particle image velocimetry(PIV) in a circulating water channel. The Reynolds number based on the width of roughness was about Re=1000. the roughness elements used were periodically arranged two-dimensionally. the flow visualization, time-mean velocity fields and vorticity fields to measure the flow characteristics were obtained. The investigation shows that the vortex generation and its progress inside the walls. And the center of the vortex was located at the middle of the height of the surface roughness.

  • Superconducting properties of thin film MgB2 superconductors irradiated with 45 MeV ${\alpha}$-particle beam were studied. After the irradiation, enhancement of the critical current density and pinning force was observed, scaling close to strong pinning formula. Double logarithmic plots of the maximum pinning force density with irreversible magnetic field show a power law behavior close to carbon-doped MgB2 film or polycrystals. Variation of normalized pinning force density in the reduced magnetic field suggests scaling formulas for strong pinning mechanism like planar defects. We also observed a rapid decay of critical current density as the vortex lattice constant decreases, due to the strong interaction between vortices and increasing magnetic field.

  • We investigated the aerodynamic characteristics of a three-dimensional (3D) wing with an endplate in the vicinity of the free surface by solving incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the turbulence closure model. The endplate causes a blockage effect on the flow, and an additional viscous effect especially near the endplate. These combined effects of the endplate significantly reduce the magnitudes of the velocities under the lower surface of the wing, thereby enhancing aerodynamic performance in terms of the force coefficients. The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of a wing with an endplate is increased 46% compared to that of wing without an endplate at the lowest clearance. The tip vortex of a wing-with-endplate (WWE) moved laterally to a greater extent than that of a wing-without-endplate (WOE). This causes a decrease in the induced drag, resulting in a reduction in the total drag.

  • We report high pressure synthesis of Sr$_{0.9}$Sm$_{0.1}$CuO$_2$. Powder x-ray diffraction showed that the synthesized compounds have infinite layer structure as a major component. Slow heating at the first stage of heating processes after pressurization resulted in several larger grains. The largest grain was found to have the longest edge length of about 100 micrometer. Through magnetic property measurement in superconducting state, we found that pinning in this compound has substantial difference from that of La doped infinite layer, which has no unpaired spin at Sr site.

  • Wind tunnel tests are conducted to investigate wake-induced vibrations of two circular cylinders with a center-to-center spacing of 4 diameters and attack angle varying from $0^{\circ}$ to $20^{\circ}$ for Reynolds numbers between 18,000 and 168,800. Effects of structural damping, Reynolds number, attack angle and reduced velocity on dynamic responses are examined. Results show that wake-induced vortex vibrations of the downstream cylinder occur in a wider range of the reduced velocity and have higher amplitudes in comparison to the vortex-induced vibration of a single circular cylinder. Two types of wake-induced instability phenomena with distinct dynamic characteristics are observed, which may be due to different generation mechanisms. For small attack angles like $5^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$, the instability of the downstream cylinder characterizes a one-degree-of-freedom (1-DOF) oscillation moving in the across-wind direction. For a large attack angle like $20^{\circ}$, the instability characterizes a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) oscillation with elliptical trajectories. For an attack angle of $15^{\circ}$, the instability can transform from the 1-DOF pattern to the 2-DOF one with the increase of the Reynolds number. Furthermore, the two instabilities show different sensitivity to the structural damping. The 1-DOF instability can be either completely suppressed or reduced to an unsteady oscillation, while the 2-DOF one is relatively less sensitive to the damping level. Reynolds number has important effects on the wake-induced instabilities.

  • Analytic research on the surface pollutant of the three storied-pagoda at the west of Gameunsaji site as well as studies of previous wet cleaning cases was undertaken in order to decide cleaning method for removing inorganic pollutants. The status of pollutant was examined by naked eye observation, SEM-EDS, XRD. Then it was compared and categorized through qualitive and quantitative analysis. The result showed that the surface pollutants consisted of iron compounds or sulfur compounds and it was crystallized in the form of circle, oval, needle, etc. Result, Low-pressure rotating vortex process cleaning, with which particular matters are sprayed in swirl, is considered to be the best method to remove the pollutants.

  • We have investigated the influence of columnar defects (CD) on the vortex dynamics in pristine and iodine-intercalated Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+{\delta}} single crystals from do SQUID magnetization measurements. Especially, the temperature dependence of the irreversibility fields, H$_{irr}$(T), were studied. Anisotropy ratio ${\gamma}$, estimated from the fitting to the 2-dimensional melting model (A. Schilling et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 1899 (1993)) in higher fields than the matching field B$_{\phi}$ at low temperature region, turns out to be decreased by the iodine-intercalation and additionally by the heavy-ion irradiation.

  • The principle of vortex cyclone was applied to enhance the treatment efficiency of waste air streams containing particulate matters, phenol, and others. Adsorption, condensation, and/or coagulation could be induced at low temperature zone formed by Joule-Thomson expansion as the pressurized air and pulverized activated carbon were introduced at the tangential direction into the cyclone system applied with the coaxial funnel tube of vortex cyclone. Easily condensible vapors were adsorbed and/or condensed forcibly on coagulated or condensed materials which were formed as cores for coagulation or condensation by themselves or on pulverized activated carbons. These types of coagulation or condensation rates were rapidly promoted by increase in their diameter. The maximum removal efficiency obtained from this experiment for the removal of carbon dioxide and phenol was about 87.3 and 93.8 percent, respectively. Phenol removal efficiency was increased with the relative humidities and enhanced by pulverized activated carbon added. The Joule-Thomson coefficients were increased with the pressure of air injected in the range of the relative humidities between 10% and 50%. It is believed that the moisture, particulate matters, and the pressure of the process air introduced could control the removal efficiency of VOCs.

  • A jet injected normally into a cross flow has been found to have the cross section of a horseshoe shape. It occurs by a twin vortex motion in the region downstream of the jet injection. Such a flow is inherently and highly three-dimensional and numerical calculations should play an important role. The three-dimensional momentum equations with buoyancy effect and energy equation are solved to obtain the velocity distributions, center-line trajectories, cross sectional shape and entrainment. The density difference is sufficiently small, so that the Boussinesq approximation is considered to be valid. The SIMPLE algorithm is applied in a staggered grid system of a calculational domain for the numerical method.

  • This study examined the current-induced spin wave excitation in asymmetric nanopillar junctions with a stack sequence of 20 nm Pt/10 nm Cu/7 nm NiFe/300 nm Cu, and a circular lateral dimension of 240 nm. An analysis of the magnetic and magnetotransport characteristics of the junction showed a possible spin transfer effect at this sample dimension when the magnetization was switched from a vortex state to another state. This finding is expected to help improve the understanding of the spin transfer torque phenomenon in nanopillar junctions.
