An experimental study on the flow over the axisymmetric backward-facing step was carried out. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of the separating streamline curvature on the reattachment length and to understand the structure of recirculating flows. Local mean and fluctuating velocity components were measured in the separating and reattaching axisymmetric region of turbulent boundary layer on the wall of convex cylinder placed in a water tunnel by using 2-color 4-beam fiber optics laser Doppler velocimetry. The study demonstrates that the reattachment length increases with increasing separating streamline curvature. It is also observed that the reverse flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy increase with an increase in the separating streamline curvature. In addition, the behavior of maximum turbulent stresses show that the effect of separating streamline curvature is larger in the region of recirculating zone(X/H<2) than in the region of reattachment point.

It is a main object to find out the effect of curvature of pipe on the thermal flow field in copper pipe. the toroidal coordinate system is chosen for this project. 3-D numerical works are done by a commercial code, PHOENICS. The flow and temperature field are simulated and analysed on the view point of variation of pressure and temperature with Dean number. The results show that the strong recirculation phenomena and secondary flow are established and then a lot of pressure drop along main flow direction occurs at the curved portion of pipe and the temperature variation has a reversed trend of pressure variation along the axis of pipe.

Steady flow bench test is a practical, powerful and widely used test in most engine manufacturers to give a design concept of a new engine. In order to use steady data as a performance index, it is necessary to build some database, which can correlate the port characteristics with engine data. However, it is very hard to investigate all port and valve shapes with experimental tools. The steady flow scheme is relatively simple and its results are bulk ones such as flow rate and momentum of flow. Therefore a CFD code can be easily applied to the port evaluation. In this study, the steady flow test was simulated through two and three-dimensional analysis on intake port design for comparing with experimental data and confirming the feasibility of applying analytic method. For this purpose, the effect of valve curvature on flow rate was estimated by a CFD code. There results were compared with those of real steady flow tests. As a result, the 2-D analysis described the phenomena qualitatively well, and also the results of 3-D analysis were almost consistent with experimental data.

A simple model of the tip leakage flow models of the rotor downstream flow is developed, based on Lakshminarayana's theoretical concept on the tip clearance flow and the experimental data published in open literature. And new spanwise distribution models of deviation angle and pressure loss coefficient due to the tip leakage flow are formulated for use in association with the streamline curvature method as a through flow analysis. Combining these new models and previous deviation and loss models due to secondary flow, a robust streamline curvature method is established for flow analysis of single-stage, subsonic axial turbines with wide ranges of turning angle, aspect ratio and blading type. At the exit from rotor rows, the flow variables are mixed radially according to a spanwise transport equation. The proposed streamline curvature method is tested against a forced vortex type turbine as well as a free vortex type one. The results show that the spanwise variations of flow angle, axial velocity and loss coefficients at rotor exit are predicted with good accuracy, being comparable to a steady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. This simple and fast flow analysis is found to be very useful for the turbine design at the initial design phase.

본 논문은 광학 흐름을 추정하는데 있어서 최적 정규화 매개변수를 결정하기 위한 L-curve 모서리 검출 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 곡률법은 L-curve의 곡률 그래프에서 최대 위치를 찾는 반면, 제안한 방법은 바로 우측 음의 계곡과의 곡률 차가 최대가 되는 양의 봉우리의 위치를 찾아서 매개변수 값을 결정한다. 이 방법으로 선정한 매개변수로 광학 흐름을 추정하면, 평균적으로 최소 오차로부터 단지 0.02 pixel/frame 차이가 나는 것이 실험을 통하여 보여진다. 또한 제안한 방법으로 기존의 모서리 검출법인 곡률법이나 적응 제거법에 비해 최소 오차에 가장 가까운 광학 흐름을 구할 수 있었다.

An electric fan for cooling high density electronic devices is limited and operated in very low efficiency. The corona discharge is utilized as the driving mechanism for an ionic gas pump, which allows for air flow control and generation with low noise and no moving parts. These ideal characteristics of ionic pump give rise to variety applications. However, all of these applications would benefit from maximizing the flow velocities and yields of the ionic pump. In this study, a needle-mesh type ionic pump has been investigated by focusing on the radius of curvature of corona needle points elevating the ionic wind velocity and efficiency. It is found that the radius of curvature of the corona discharge needle point influences significantly to produce the ionic wind and efficiency. As a result, an elevated ionic wind velocity and increased ionic wind generation yield can be obtained by optimized the radius of curvature of the corona needle electrode.

This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension $n{\geq}2$ in the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ of constant sectional curvature evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power ${\beta}{\geq}1$ of the mean curvature. The main result is that if the initial closed, weakly h-convex hypersurface satisfies that the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvature at everywhere is close enough to 1, depending only on n and ${\beta}$, then under the flow this is maintained, there exists a unique, smooth solution of the flow which converges to a single point in ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ in a maximal finite time, and when rescaling appropriately, the evolving hypersurfaces exponential convergence to a unit geodesic sphere of ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$.

A numerical computation of turbulent wirling flow in a stationary pipe is presented in this work. Major concerns of this study are: 1) To approve similarity laws which were verified experimentally. 2) To investigate the effects of curvature modification for the K- .epsilon. model. To account for effects of swirl, Rodi's curvature correction and Kim & Chung's are applied. The governing differential equations for eliptic flow are discretized by control volume formulation method, and the discretized equations are calculated ay line by line TDMA and SIMPLE algorithm. The computational results also satisfy similarity laws which are based on swirl angle as in experiments. And the curvature modification of Rodi improves compuational accuacy than the standard K- .epsilon. model. But such lower order closure models are not adequate for the prediction of this complex flow.

Direct numerical simulation has been used to study turbulent boundary layers with convex curvature. A direct numerical simulation program has been developed to solve incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in generalized coordinates with the finite volume method. We considered two boundary layer thicknesses. When the curvature effect is small, mean velocity statistics show little difference with those of a plane channel flow. Turbulent intensity decreases as curvature increases. Contours suggest that streamwise vorticities are strong where large pressure fluctuations exist.
