The characteristics of turbulent boundary layers over hilly terrain depend strongly on the hill slope and upstream condition, especially inflow turbulence. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the neutrally stratified turbulent boundary layer over two-dimensional hills. Two kinds of hill shape, a steep one with stable separation and a low one without stable separation, two kinds of inflow condition, laminar turbulent, are considered. An auxiliary simulation, based on the local differential quadrature method and recycling technique, is performed to simulate the inflow turbulence be imposed at inlet boundary of the turbulent inflow, which preserves very well in the computational domain. A large separation bubble is established on the leeside of the steep hill with laminar inflow, while reattachment point moves upstream under turbulent inflow condition. There is stable separation on the side of low hill with laminar inflow, whilw not turbulent inflow. Besides increase of turbulence intensity, inflow can efficiently enhance the speedup around hills. So in practice, it is unreasonable to study wind flow over hilly terrain without considering inflow turbulence.

Reproducing the horizontally homogeneous atmospheric boundary layer in computational wind engineering is essential for predicting the wind loads on structures. One of the important issues is to use fully developed inflow conditions, which will lead to the consistence problem between inflow condition and internal roughness. Thus, by analyzing the previous results of computational fluid dynamic modeling turbulent horizontally homogeneous atmospheric boundary layer, we modify the past hypotheses, detailly derive a new type of inflow condition for standard k-ε turbulence model. A group of remedial approaches including formulation for wall shear stress and fixing the values of turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation rate in first wall adjacent layer cells, are also derived to realize the consistence of inflow condition and internal roughness. By combing the approaches with four different sets of inflow conditions, the well-maintained atmospheric boundary layer flow verifies the feasibility and capability of the proposed inflow conditions and remedial approaches.

Modelling an equilibrium atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in computational wind engineering (CWE) and relevant areas requires the boundary conditions, the turbulence model and associated constants to be consistent with each other. Among them, the inflow boundary conditions play an important role and determine whether the equations of the turbulence model are satisfied in the whole domain. In this paper, the idea of modeling an equilibrium ABL through specifying proper inflow boundary conditions is extended to the SST $k-{\omega}$ model, which is regarded as a better RANS model for simulating the blunt body flow than the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. Two new sets of inflow boundary conditions corresponding to different descriptions of the inflow velocity profiles, the logarithmic law and the power law respectively, are then theoretically proposed and numerically verified. A method of determining the undetermined constants and a set of parameter system are then given, which are suitable for the standard wind terrains defined in the wind load code. Finally, the full inflow boundary condition equations considering the scale effect are presented for the purpose of general use.

It is essential for the accurate time-domain prediction of broadband noise due to turbulence-cascade interaction to develop inflow/outflow boundary conditions to satisfy the following three requirements: to maintain the back ground mean flow, to nonreflect the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified input gust. The preceding study(1) showed that Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) boundary condition was successfully applied to absorb the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified gust in the time-domain computations of broadband noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of flat-plates. In present study, PML boundary condition is extended in order to predict steady mean flow that is needed for the computation of noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of airfoils. PML boundary condition is originally designed to absorb flow disturbances superimposed on the steady meanflow in the buffer zone. However, the steady meanflow must be computed before PML boundary condition is applied on the flow computation. In the present paper, PML equations are extended by introducing source term to maintain desired mean flow conditions. The extended boundary condition is applied to the benchmark problem where the meanflow around a cascade of airfoils is predicted. These illustrative computations reveal that the extended PML equations can effectively provide and maintain the target meanflow.

The inlet boundary condition of computations about the supersonic turbine flow is commonly applied as far-field inlet boundary condition with specified velocity. However, the inflow condition of supersonic turbine is sometimes affected by the shocks or expansion waves propagated from leading edges of blade. These shocks and expansion waves alter the inlet boundary condition. In this case, the inlet boundary condition can not be specified Therefore, in this paper, numerical analyses for three different inlet conditions - fa-field inlet boundary condition, inlet boundary condition with a linear nozzle and inlet boundary condition with a converging-diverging nozzle - have been performed and compared with experimental results to solve the problem. It is found that the inlet condition with a linear nozzle or a converging-diverging nozzle can prevent changing of inlet boundary condition, and thus predict more accurately the supersonic flow within turbine cascade than a far-field inlet boundary condition does.

This work is to observe the wake flow generated behind a ramp. We have conducted a large eddy simulation with two ramp models having different heights with two different inflow conditions. Reynolds number based on the height of the large ramp (LR) and small ramp (SR) are Re_h = 2.8×10⁴ and 1.4×10⁴ respectively. The wake flow visualization shows the formation of streamwise counter-rotating vortices pairs at the downstream of the obstacle. These primary vortices are stretched and lifted up when moving downstream. In order to observe the effect of the inflow condition on the wake transition, two different inlet flow conditions are given on the inlet section as an inlet boundary condition. Induced counter-rotating vortices pairs due to sharp-edged triangular ramp obstacles are developed and propagated downstream. In the result, the large ramp shows a more complicated wake structure of the boundary layer than the small ramp.

A Combination Random Flow Generation (CRFG) technique for obtaining the fluctuating inflow boundary conditions for Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is proposed. The CRFG technique was developed by combining the typical RFG technique with a novel calculation of k and ${\varepsilon}$ to estimate the length- and time-scales (l, ${\tau}$) of the target fluctuating turbulence field used as the inflow boundary conditions. Through comparatively analyzing the CRFG technique and other existing numerical/experimental results, the CRFG technique was verified for the generation of turbulent wind velocity fields with prescribed turbulent statistics. Using the turbulent velocity fluctuations generated by the CRFG technique, a series of LESs were conducted to investigate the wind flow around S-, R-, L- and U-shaped building models. As the pressures of the models were also measured in wind tunnel tests, the validity of the LES, and the effectiveness of the inflow boundary generated by the CRFG techniques were evaluated through comparing the simulation results to the wind tunnel measurements. The comparison showed that the LES accurately and reliably simulates the wind-induced pressure distributions on the building surfaces, which indirectly validates the CRFG technique in generating realistic fluctuating wind velocities for use in the LES. In addition to the pressure distribution, the LES results were investigated in terms of wind velocity profiles around the building models to reveal the wind flow dynamics around bluff bodies. The LES results quantitatively showed the decay of the bluff body influence when the flow moves away from the building model.

자연하천의 부정류 홍수예측을 위하여 Preissmann기법에 의한 수리학적 홍수추적을 실시하였으며, 민감도 분석을 위한 상류단과 측방유입수문곡선으로서 Log-Pearson Type-III를 사용하였다. 실제하천 적용에 있어서 유역에 대해서는 선형저수지 모형을 적용하고 하도망에 대해서는 수리학적 홍수추적을 실시하였다. 상류단과 측방유입수문곡선은 선형저수지 모형을 이용하여 산정하였으며, 하류단 경계조건으로서 Manning공식을 이용하였다. 유입수문곡선으로서 선형저수지모형이 적용된 부정류모형을 보청천유역에 적용시킨 결과 실측치와 매우 근접한 수문곡선을 예측할 수 있었으며, 본 연구는 측방유입이 있는 경우, 선형저수지 모형을 이용한 수리학적 홍수예측이 가능하고, 부정류모형을 이용하여 흐름계산을 할 경우 조도계수 산정을 위한 수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Three different outflow boundary conditions are considered in modeling the East Sea circulation. The first one is that of the conventional constant volume transport (CT). The second one is the Orlanski radiation boundary condition (OR). The third one is that of the constant sea level just outside the outflow boundary (SL). In the third condition, the outflow current is set to be driven by the sea level differences across the outflow open-boundary lines, based on the recent knowledge that the Tsushima Current is driven by the sea level differences across the inflow and outflow boundaries. In case of OR it takes too much time to reach the steady state, resulting in a large increase of Tsushima Current Water in the basin and low level of kinetic energy. Both CT and SL reach the steady state in a relatively short time. However, SL is more recommendable, because it is based on physical background and generates less numerical noises than CT.
