The conformal mapping method (CMM) has been broadly exploited in the study of fluid flows over airfoils and other research areas, yet it's hard to find relevant research in bridge engineering. This paper explores the feasibility of CMM in streamlined box girder bridges. Firstly, the mapping function transforming a unit circle to the streamlined box girder was solved by CMM. Subsequently, the potential flow solution of aerostatic pressure on the streamlined box girder was obtained and was compared with numerical simulation results. Finally, the aerostatic pressure attained by CMM was utilized to estimate the aerostatic coefficient and flutter performance of the streamlined box girder. The results indicate that the solution of the aerostatic pressure by CMM on the windward side is satisfactory within a small angle of attack. Considering the windward aerostatic pressure and coefficient of correction, CMM can be employed to estimate the rate of change of the lift and moment coefficients with angle of attack and the influence of the geometric shape of the streamlined box girder on flutter performance.

Researches on the Reynolds number effect on bridge decks have made slow progress due to the complicated nature of the subject. Heretofore, few studies on this topic have been made. In this paper, aerostatic coefficients, Strouhal number ($S_t$), pressure distribution and Reynolds number ($R_e$) of Great Belt East Bridge and Sutong Bridge were investigated based on deterministic vortex method (DVM). In this method, Particle Strength Exchange (PSE) was chosen to implement the simulation of the flow around bluff body and to analyze the micro-mechanism of the aerostatic loading and Reynolds number effect. Compared with the results obtained from wind tunnel tests, reliability of numerical simulation can be proved. Numerical results also showed that the Reynolds number effect on aerostatic coefficients and Strouhal number of the two bridges can not be neglected. In the range of the Reynolds number from $10^5$ to $10^6$, it has great effect on the Strouhal number of Sutong Bridge, while the St is difficult to obtain from wind tunnel tests in this range.

In this paper, we investigated the sensitivity of aerostatic force coefficients of multi-layer radom in the various wind speeds. The test was conducted in KOCED Wind Tunnel Center in Chonbuk National University, and wind speeds were in the range from 5 m/s to 26 m/s in order to determine the Reynolds number independence. The test results of present multi-layer radom were not affected by the Reynolds number, The maximum positive pressure coefficient was found to be 1.08 at the center of the front of the plane in angle of attack of 0 degree, the maximum negative pressure coefficient was -2.03 at the upper right corner in angle of attack of 120 degree, while maximum drag coefficient was 1.11 in angle of attack of 180 degree.

Because of their cleanliness, low friction, and high stiffness, aerostatic bearings are used in numerous applications. Aerostic bearings that use porous materials as means of flow restriction have higher stiffness than other types of bearings and have been successfully applied as guide bearings, which have high motion accuracy requirements. However, the performances of porous bearings exhibit strong nonlinearity and can vary considerably depending on design parameters. Therefore, accurate prediction of the performance characteristics of porous bearings is necessary or their successful application. This study presents a porous bearing design and performance analysis for a spindle used in wafer polishing. The Reynolds and Darcy flow equations are solved to calculate the pressures in the lubrication film and porous busing, respectively. To verify the validity of the proposed analytical model, the calculated pressure distribution in the designed bearing is compared with that derived from previous research. Additional parametric studies are performed to determine the optimal design parameters. Analytical results show that optimal design parameters that obtain the maximum stiffness can be derived. In addition, the results show that cross-coupled stiffness increases with rotating speed. Thus, issues related to stability should be investigated at the design stage.

본 연구에서는 구조적 기본단면인 사각단면중에서 B/D=2,3,4,5 단면을 대상으로 단면주위 흐름상태가 단면의 공기력 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 정지/진동하는 B/D=4 사각실린더 주위의 비정상압력장에 POD해석을 도입함으로써 흐름패턴에 따른 POD해석의 고유벡터를 규정하고 실린더 주위 흐름장 안에 공존하는 서로 다른 흐름패턴의 상호간섭과 물리적 모드분해에 관하여 검토하였다. POD해석의 고유벡터 비교를 통해서 칼만와류는 박리버블에 의해서 거의 영향받지 않지만 칼만와류는 단면후류부에서 박리버블의 발달에 상당히 간섭하고 있음을 확인하 였다. 변장비(B/D=2,34,5) 변화에 따른 ${dC_L/d\alpha}$, ${H_1^{*}}$의 정(+)부(-)의 차이, 즉 갤로핑현상에 대한 안정/불안정성은 박리전단층의 재부착에 깊은 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되며 B/D=3,4에서 시간평균적으로 재부착하던 주위흐름장이 칼만와류의 방출을 제어하면 재부착하지 않는 것으로 생각된다. 즉, 칼만와류의 억제는 후류부에서 박리전단층의 곡률이 작아지도록 간섭하고 단면에 있어서 elongation효과를 나타낸다.
