  • 태풍 등과 같은 강풍에 의한 비산물로부터 구조물과 인명의 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속을 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 강풍 시 비산물의 비행시작 풍속을 예측하기 위한 방법과 예측에 필요한 데이터를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 힘의 평형방정식으로부터 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속 예측식을 제시하였다. 또한 예측식에 필요한 공기력계수를 산출하기 위해 풍동실험을 수행하여 비산물의 길이와 높이의 비에 따른 공기력계수를 측정하고, 아울러 비율에 따른 공기력계수를 계산할 수 있는 경험식을 제시하였다. 예측 비행 시작 풍속을 검증하기 위해 풍동에서 자유비산 실험을 수행하여 비산물의 비행 시작 풍속을 측정하였다. 비산물의 길이와 두께의 비가 10 미만인 경우에는 주로 미끄러짐에 의해 비행이 시작되었고, 10 이상인 경우에는 주로 전도에 의해 비행이 시작되는 것으로 나타났다. 실제 비행 시작 풍속은 예측 풍속과 전반적으로 일치하나 약 20~30 % 낮았다. 이는 도류판 표면의 경계층 흐름 및 시험체의 변형 등이 원인으로 추정되며, 향후 예측 정확도를 높이기 위한 추가 연구가 필요하다.

  • Vents at outer walls of a large factory building are very important for natural ventilation. But, if a full-open vent is used, rain comes through the vents. We tried to utilize the natural ventilation effectively using a louver. A 1/120 scale-down building model was placed inside an atmospheric boundary layer simulated in a wind tunnel test section. The effect of louver angle on the ventilation flow inside the factory building was investigated experimentally. Instantaneous velocity fields inside the building model were measured using a 2-frame PIV system with varying the louver angles ($\theta=20^{\circ},\;40^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$). For the case of $\theta=60^{\circ}$, as the incoming flow into the factory building increases, the inside velocity distribution becomes uniformly.

  • Excessive motions in buildings cause occupants to become uncomfortable and nervous. This is particularly detrimental to the tenants and ultimately the owner of the building, with respect to financial considerations. Serviceability issues, such as excessive accelerations and inter-story drifts, are more prevalent today due to advancements in the structural systems, strength of materials, and design practices. These factors allow buildings to be taller, lighter, and more flexible, thereby exacerbating the impact of dynamic responses. There is a growing need for innovative and effective techniques to reduce the serviceability responses of these tall buildings. The current study considers a case study of a real building to show the effectiveness and robustness of the TLD in reducing the coupled lateral-torsional motion of this high-rise building under wind loading. Three unique multi-modal TLD systems are designed specifically to mitigate the torsional response of the building. A procedure is developed to analyze a structure-TLD system using High Frequency Force Balance (HFFB) test data from the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Laboratory (BLWTL) at the University of Western Ontario. The effectiveness of the unique TLD systems is investigated. In addition, a parametric study is conducted to determine the robustness of the systems in reducing the serviceability responses. Three practical parameters are varied to investigate the robustness of the TLD system: the height of water inside the tanks, the amplitude modification factor, and the structural modal frequencies.

  • As wind flows around a sharp-edged body, the resulting separated flow becomes complicated, with multiple separations and reattachments as well as vortex recirculation. This widespread and unpredictable phenomenon has long been studied academically as well as in engineering applications. In this study, the flow characteristics around rectangular prisms with five different aspect ratios were determined through wind tunnel experiments and a detached eddy simulation, that placed the objects in a simulated deep turbulent boundary layer at $Re=4.6{\times}10^4$. A series of rectangular prisms with the same height (h = 80 mm), different longitudinal lengths (l = 0.5h, h, and 2h), or different transverse widths (w = 0.5h, h, and 2h) were employed to observe the effects of the aspect ratio. Furthermore, five wind directions ($0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$) were selected to observe the effects of the wind direction. The simulated results of the surface pressure were compared to the wind tunnel experiment results and the existing results of previous papers. The vortex and spectrum were also analyzed to determine the detailed flow structure around the body. The paper also highlights the pressure distribution around the rectangular prisms with respect to the different aspect ratios. With an increasing transverse width, the surface suction pressure on the top and side surfaces becomes stronger. In addition, depending on the wind direction, the pressure coefficient experiences a large variation and can even change from a negative to a positive value on the side surface of the cube model.

  • 본 연구에서는 평판 경계층의 천이 영역에서 평균속도, 표면마찰계수, 간헐도 분포, 에너지 스펙트럼 등의 신뢰성 있는 실험 자료를 획득하였다. 실험 결과 천이가 진행됨에 따라 난류반점이 지배하는 영역이 벽면 근처에서 전 경계층으로 확산되었으며 이러한 현상의 결과로 속도 섭동량에서 비등방성이 크게 나타난다. 천이 이전영역에서는 에너지가 주로 저주파에 집중되어 있다가 천이를 거치면서 에너지가 고주파 성분으로 이동하였다 이는 두 가지 이상의 에너지 발생과 소멸 메커니즘이 천이영역에서 공존하고 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 천이영역에서의 유동장을 예측하기 위한 난류 계산 모형에서 비등방성과 서로 다른 메커니즘을 표현할 수 있기 위해서는 반드시 두 가지 이상의 척도를 표현할 수 있어야 한다.

  • A nonlinear numerical method was developed to assess the stability of suspension bridge catwalks under a wind load. A section model wind tunnel test was used to obtain a catwalk's aerostatic coefficients, from which the displacement-dependent wind loads were subsequently derived. The stability of a suspension bridge catwalk was analyzed on the basis of the geometric nonlinear behavior of the structure. In addition, a full model test was conducted on the catwalk, which spanned 960 m. A comparison of the displacement values between the test and the numerical simulation shows that a numerical method based on a section model test can be used to effectively and accurately evaluate the stability of a catwalk. A case study features the stability of the catwalk of the Runyang Yangtze suspension bridge, the main span of which is 1490 m. Wind can generally attack the structure from any direction. Whenever the wind comes at a yaw angle, there are six wind load components that act on the catwalk. If the yaw angle is equal to zero, the wind is normal to the catwalk (called normal wind) and the six load components are reduced to three components. Three aerostatic coefficients of the catwalk can be obtained through a section model test with traditional test equipment. However, six aerostatic coefficients of the catwalk must be acquired with the aid of special section model test equipment. A nonlinear numerical method was used study the stability of a catwalk under a yaw wind, while taking into account the six components of the displacement-dependent wind load and the geometric nonlinearity of the catwalk. The results show that when wind attacks with a slight yaw angle, the critical velocity that induces static instability of the catwalk may be lower than the critical velocity of normal wind. However, as the yaw angle of the wind becomes larger, the critical velocity increases. In the atmospheric boundary layer, the wind is turbulent and the velocity history is a random time history. The effects of turbulent wind on the stability of a catwalk are also assessed. The wind velocity fields are regarded as stationary Gaussian stochastic processes, which can be simulated by a spectral representation method. A nonlinear finite-element model set forepart and the Newmark integration method was used to calculate the wind-induced buffeting responses. The results confirm that the turbulent character of wind has little influence on the stability of the catwalk.

  • 본 연구는 마하수 2.5의 초음속 영역에서 마하수 1.0의 슬롯 분사가 있는 후향계단 형상에 대한 유동장 특성을 분석하기 위하여 초음속풍동 시험부를 설계, 제작하였다. 비행체가 고속으로 움직일 때 공동 주위의 유동은 매우 복잡하여 수치해석 결과를 검증할 초음속풍동 시험 자료가 필요하기 때문에 기존의 2차원 대칭형 노즐을 아랫면이 평판인 비대칭형 노즐로 수정하였다. 특성곡선해법을 이용한 비점성 노즐을 설계하고, 시험을 통해 얻은 경계층 두께를 노즐에 반영하여 보정한 기법을 C 언어로 프로그래밍하여 얻은 결과를 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 슬롯 분사 시 지속적인 유동장 변화 분석을 위한 초음속 유지시간 확보를 위해 저장탱크의 압력 변화에 따른 PID 제어프로그램 수정으로 초음속 유동 유지시간을 약 5초에서 약 6초로 1초 정도 연장하여 제어 효율을 향상하였고, 슬롯 분사가 있는 후향계단에서의 유동장 변화를 슐리렌장치로 가시화하여 복잡한 유동장 특성을 확인하였다. 향후 슬롯 분사의 속도와 유량, 유동장의 온도를 변화하여 공동에서의 막냉각 효과 분석을 위한 장비로 사용할 계획이다.

  • The flow characteristics and the heat transfer rate on a surface by interaction of a pair of vortices were studied experimentally. The test facility consisted of a boundary-layer wind tunnel with a vortex introduced into the flow by half-delta winglet protruding from the surface. In order to control the strength of the longitudinal vortices, the angles of attack of the vortex generators were varied from $\pm20\;degree\;to\;\pm45$ degree, but spacings between the vortex generators were fixed to 4 cm. The 3-dimensional mean velocity measurements were made using a five-hole pressure probe. Heat transfer measurements were made using the thermochromatic liquid to provide the local distribution of the heat transfer coefficient. By using the method mentioned above, the following conclusions were obtained from the present experiment. The boundary layer was thinned in the regions where the secondary flow was directed toward the wall and thickened where it was directed away from the wall. The peak augmentation of the local heat transfer coefficient occurred in the downwash region near the point of minimum boundary-layer thickness.

  • The effects of the interaction between the flow and temperature field and a boundary layer due to a variety of the height of a vortex generator are experimentally investigated. The test facility consists of a boundary-layer wind tunnel with the vortex generator protruding from the bottom surface. In order to control the strength of the longitudinal vortices, the angle of attack and the spacing distance of the vortex generator are 20 degree and 40 mm, respectively. The height of the vortex generator (H) is 15 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm and the cord length of it is 50 mm. Three-component mean velocity measurements are made using a 5-hole probe system and the surface temperature distribution is measured by the hue capturing method using thermochromatic liquid crystals. By using the method mentioned above, the following conclusions are obtained from the present experiment. The boundary layer is thinned in the downwash region where the strong downflow and the lateral outflow of the boundary layer fluid occur and thickened in the upwash re,3ion where the longitudinal vortex sweeps low momentum fluid away from the bottom surface. In case that the height of the vortex generator increases, the averaged circulation and the maximum vorticity of the vortex pair decrease. The contours of the non-dimensional temperature show the similar trends fur all the cases (H=15 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm). The peak augmentation of the distribution of the local non-dimensional temperature occurs in the downwash region near the point of minimum boundary-layer thickness.
