  • It is well known that organized vortex rotations swirl and tumble greatly affect the mixing, the combustion and heat transfer processes in engine cylinder. We have developed 3 dimensional numerical simulation codes whose predictions make good agreement with the experimental data. Large eddy simulation based on Smagorinsky subgrid scale model was adopted to describe the turbulence of in-cylinder flows. The tumble motions generated by different inclination angles between valve-port and cylinder head have been calculated. The results show that the angles between direction of induced flow and cylinder walls which the flow collides with play a great role in the formation and generation of tumble motions. Therefore, it is inferred that seat angle and inclination angle are important factors of engine design. In addition, the numerical results of different engine speed -1000 rpm and 3000 rpm are very similar in the flow structure.

  • 분사된 연료의 미립화(atomization), 증발(evaporation), 그리고 혼합기형성과정(mixture formation process)이 디젤엔진의 착화 및 연소특성에 영향을 미치기 때문에, 디젤엔진 내에 분사된 연료의 구조해석으로부터 일련의 과정, 즉 고압분사, 분열(breakup), 미립화, 그리고 주위기체의 난류 도입(entrainment)에 관한 연구$^{1-3)}$는 꾸준히 행해져왔다. 본 연구는 증발디젤분무의 구조해석으로부터 디젤충돌분무의 혼합기형성과정을 조사한다. 주위기체의 밀도는 실험변수로서 선택하였고, $5.0kg/m^3$에서 $12.3kg/m^3$까지 변화시켰다. 그리고 소형고속디젤엔진에 있어서 연료분사초기의 상태의 고온 고압 설정이 가능한 정적용기를 사용했다. 주위 온도와 연료분사압력은 각각 700K 및 72MPa로 일정하게 유지했다. 충동증발분무의 액상과 기상의 이미지는 엑시플렉스형광법으로 동시 계측하였다. 실험결과로서 주위기체의 밀도가 높을수록 충돌분무의 선단도 달거리가 주위기체의 항력으로 인하여 감소하였다.

  • 1. Introduction : In microfiltration the transport, deposition and removal of particles control cake formation on a filter. In this connection a new model on cake formation, based on the wall shear stress, was tested here in comparison with experiments of fine particle slurry under Taylor-vortex flow. The model expresses the deposition process for particles as two first-order steps in series of mass transfer and adhesion, and their removal process as a linear relation to the wall shear stress. This embraces characteristics of both dead-end and crossflow filtration. The correlation resulting from fitting to experimental data represented the experimental data reasonably well. This study will be helpful in analyzing fouling in heat exchangers.

  • A drop impact on the liquid film/pool generates several phenomena such as the drop floating, bouncing, formation of vortex ring, jetting, bubble entrapment and splashing. These phenomena depend on the impact velocity, the drop size, the drop properties and the liquid film/pool thickness. These parameters can be summarized by four main dimensionless parameters; Weber number, Ohnesorge number, Froude number and non-dimensional film/pool thickness. In the present study, the phenomena of the splashing and bubble entrapment due to the drop impact on the liquid film/pool were numerically investigated by using a Level Set method for the sharp interface tracking of two distinct phases. After the drop impact, the splashing phenomena with the crown formation and spreading were predicted. Under the specific conditions, the bubble entrapment at the base of the collapsing cavity due to the drop impact was also observed. The numerical results were compared to the available experimental data showing good agreements.

  • 편대 비행중인 선행 항공기에서 발생한 후류는 후행 항공기의 공력특성 및 비행 안정성에 영향을 준다. 최근에는 편대 비행 하는 무인기에서 발생하는 후류의 거동에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 푸리에-스펙트럴법을 이용하여 편대 비행 중인 XQ-58A 무인기에서 발생한 후류의 거동에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 3개의 무인기 사이의 수직/수평 거리를 조절하여 편대 비행 대형을 바꾸어가며 와 거동을 계산하였다. 항공기 날개 간 수직/수평 이격 거리 매우 근접하는 경우 와들이 날개에서 멀리 떨어지지 못하고 주변에서 거동하였으며, 상대적으로 날개 사이 거리가 멀 경우 빠르게 와들이 하강하였다. 추후 연구에서는 와 거동과 항공기의 날개에 공력 특성 사이의 관계에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

  • The effects of rotary oscillation on the unsteady laminar flow past a circular cylinder. are numerically investigated in the present study. The numerical solutions for the 20 Wavier-Stokes equation are obtained using a finite volume method Tn the framework of an overlapping grid system. The vortex formation behind a circular cylinder and the hydrodynamics of wake flows for different rotary oscillation conditions are analyzed from the results of numerical simulation. The lock-on region is defined as the region that the natural shedding frequency due to the Karmann Vortex shedding and the forcing frequency due to the forced oscillating a cylinder are nearly same, and the quasi-periodic states are observed around that region. At the intersection between lock-on and non-lock-on region the shedding frequency is bifurcated. After the bifurcation, one frequency fellows the forcing frequency($S_f$) and the other returns to the natural shedding frequency($St_0$). in the quasi-periodic states, the variation of magnitudes and relevant phase changes of $C_L$ with forcing phase are examined.

  • This study aims at validating simulations of the forced and freely vibrating cylinders at Reynolds number of approximately 500 in order to identify the capability of the CFD code, and to establish the analysis process of the vortex-induced vibration (VIV). The direct numerical and large eddy simulations were employed to resolve the various length scales of the vortices, and the morphing technique was used to consider a motion of the circular cylinder. For the forced vibration case, both in- and anti-phase VIV processes were observed regarding the frequency ratio. Namely, when the frequency ratio approaches to unity, the synchronization/lock-in process occurs, leading to substantial increases in drag and lift coefficients. This is strongly linked with the switch in timing of the vortex formation, and this physical tendency is consistent with that of Blackburn and Henderson (J. Fluid Mech., 1999, 385, 255-286) as well as force coefficients. For the free oscillation case, the mass and damping ratio of 50.8 and 0.0024 were considered based on the study of Blackburn et al. (J. Fluid Struct., 2000, 15, 481-488) to allow the direct comparison of simulation results. The simulation results for a peak amplitude of the cylinder and a shedding mode are reasonably comparable to that of Blackburn et al. (2000). Consequently, based on aforementioned results, it can be concluded that numerical methods were successfully validated and the calculation procedure was well established for VIV analysis with reasonable results.

  • A two-dimensional numerical method for inviscid two-fluid flows with evolution of density interface is developed, and an initially stationary two-dimensional fluid sheet surrounded by another fluid is studied. The interface between two fluids is modeled as a vortex sheet, and the flow field with the evolution of interface is solved by using vortex-in-cell/front-tracking method. The edge of the sheet is pulled back into the sheet due to surface tension and a blob is formed at the edge. This blob and fluid sheet are connected by a thin neck. In the inviscid limit, such process of the blob and neck formation is examined in detail and their kinematic characteristics are summarized with dimensionless parameters. The edge recedes at and the capillary wave propagating into the fluid sheet must be considered for better understanding of the edge receding.

  • Lock-on characteristics of flow around a circular cylinder oscillating rotationally with a relatively high forcing frequency have been investigated experimentally. Dominant governing parameters are Reynolds number (Re), angular amplitude of oscillation (${\theta}_A$), and frequency ratio $F_R=f_f/f_n,\;where\;f_f$ is a forcing frequency and $f_n$ is a natural frequency of vortex shedding. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of $Re=4.14{\times}10^3,\;{\pi}/90{\leq}{\theta_A}{\leq}{\pi}/3,\;and\;F_R=1.0$. The effect of this active flow control technique on the lock-on flow characteristics of the cylinder wake was evaluated with wake velocity measurements and spectral analysis of hot-wire signals. The rotational oscillation modifies the flow structure of near wake significantly. The lock-on phenomenon always occurs at $F_R=1.0$, regardless of the angular amplitude ${\theta}_A$. In addition, when the angular amplitude is less than a certain value, the lock-on characteristics appear only at $F_R=1.0$,. The range of lock-on phenomena expands and vortex formation length is decreased, as the angular amplitude increases. The rotational oscillation create a small-scale vortex structure in the region just near the cylinder surface. At ${\theta}_A=60^{\circ}$, the drag coefficient was reduced about $43.7\%$ at maximum.

  • The flow around a circular cylinder which oscillates rotationally with a relatively high forcing frequency has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and hot-wire measurements. Dominant parameters are Reynolds number (Re), oscillation amplitude $({\theta}_A)$, and frequency ratio $F_R=f_f/f_n$, where $f_f$ is the forcing frequency and $f_n$ is the natural frequency of vortex shedding. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of $Re=4.14{\times}10^3,\;{\theta}_A={\pi}/6$, and $0{\leq}F_R{\leq}2$. The effect of frequency ratio $F_R$ on the flow structure of wake was evaluated by measuring wake velocity profile and spectral analysis of hot-wire signal. Depending on the frequency ratio $F_R$, the cylinder wake has 5 different flow regimes. The vortex formation length and vortex shedding frequency are changed significantly before and after the lock-on regime. The drag coefficient was reduced under the condition of $F_R<1.0$ and the maximum drag reduction is about 33% at $F_R=0.8$. However, the drag is increased as $F_R$ increases beyond $F_R=1.0$. This active flow control method can be effective in aerodynamic applications, if the forcing parameters are selected optimally.
