In this study, we investigate the effects of a single roughness element on Venturi cavitation. The single roughness element of hemispherical shape is installed at the throat inlet of a Venturi tube. Since the wake behind the roughness element induces an additional pressure drop, cavitation inception occurs at a higher Cavitation number for the Venturi model with the single roughness element than for the Venturi model with no roughness. Cavitation bubbles form along the wake of the roughness element and lengthen in the streamwise direction as the Cavitation number decreases, forming a longitudinal cavitation. With a further decrease in the Cavitation number, the longitudinal cavitation bubble merges with the sheet cavitation initiated from the exit edge of the Venturi tube throat, followed by the shedding of cloud cavitation. The merging of the longitudinal cavitation and sheet cavitation is accompanied by a sudden decrease in the discharge coefficient and an increase in the pressure loss coefficient as it chokes the flow inside the Venturi tube.

In this study, pressure drop and heat transfer coefficients were measured in tubes with three dimensional roughness. Dimples were made by rotating the saw-tooth shaped finning disc on the outer tube surface. Resultant dimple shape was oval. Friction and heat transfer tests were performed with a range of roughness variables-roughness height 'e', axial roughness pitch 'p', circumferential roughness pitch 'z'. Within the test range, tube with e=0.5mm, z=5mm, p=3mm performed best. The efficiency ratio(rati of the heat transfer improvement and the pressure drop increase) of the tube approached 1.0 at low Reynolds number, and it was higher than that of the two-dimensional roughess tube of the same roughness height. Test data were predicted by 'discrete element method'. Results show that discrete element method underpredicts the friction data by 2% to 32%, and overpredicts the heat transfer data by-12% to 113%.

In this paper, we investigated the electric field distribution according to the roughness in aramid insulating paper for electric machine. Aramid insulating paper has been used to electric insulating of the traction motor and generators for large capacity. We studied the electric field distribution using boundary element method for Aramid insulating paper. As a result of simulation, the electric field increased according to the surface roughness existence. Electric field decreased due to radius of surface roughness reduction, and Electric field concentration appeared at electrode boundary and rough surface.

Titanium based implants are known to improve their osseointegration by controlling surface roughness from nanometers to micrometers. Implants continuously and/or repeatedly receive irregular loads in the human body, and require a deeper understanding of the tensile and fatigue properties that can determine the fracture characteristics of the materials. In this study, the plastic deformation behavior which depends on the surface geometry of the materials during tensile tests was analyzed using the finite element method. As a result, the tensile properties were greatly decreased with increasing the sharpness of the surface. On the other hand, the average roughness had no significant effect on tensile properties. This investigation shed a light on developing titanium implants with improved osseointegration by surface treatments.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy has a wide range of applications, ranging from turbine blades that require smooth surfaces for aerodynamic purposes to biomedical implants, where a certain surface roughness promotes biomedical compatibility. Therefore, it would be advantageous if the high volumetric density is maintained while controlling the surface roughness during the LPBF of Ti-6Al-4V. In this study, the volumetric energy density is varied by independently changing the laser power and scan speed to document the changes in the relative sample density and surface roughness. The results where the energy density is similar but the process parameters are different are compared. For comparable energy density but higher laser power and scan speed, the relative density remained similar at approximately 99%. However, the surface roughness varies, and the maximum increase rate is approximately 172%. To investigate the cause of the increased surface roughness, a nonlinear finite element heat transfer analysis is performed to compare the maximum temperature, cooling rate, and lifetime of the melt pool with different process parameters.

The damage level of the die surface was predicted by estimating the surface roughness with a finite element analysis and the wear characteristics. Wear and friction tests were conducted to compare the wear characteristics for three kinds of surface treatments - CrN, TiAlN and AlCrN coatings. A prediction model was derived from the surface roughness results with respect to contact pressure and sliding speed which were obtained from the wear test. Surface roughness values for the damage regions of the die surface were compared between the experiments and the prediction model, which shows fairly good agreement with each other.

The indirect approach for measuring the bridge frequencies from the dynamic responses of a passing vehicle is a highly potential method. In this study, the effect of road surface roughness on such an approach is studied through finite element simulations. A two-dimensional mathematical model with the vehicle simulated as a moving sprung mass and the bridge as a simply-supported beam is adopted. The dynamic responses of the passing vehicle are solved by the finite element method along with the Newmark ${\beta}$ method. Through the numerical examples studied, it is shown that the presence of surface roughness may have negative consequence on the extraction of bridge frequencies from the test vehicle. However, such a shortcoming can be overcome either by introducing multiple moving vehicles on the bridge, besides the test vehicle, or by raising the moving speed of the accompanying vehicles.

Elasto-plastic finite element analysis was performed for a burnishing process for the inner surface of a cylinder by mandrel. Three different configurations in roughness of the inner surface, two different thicknesses of the cylinder wall, and five different diameters of the mandrel were selected for the present investigation. Although the surface roughness was improved with the increase of the mandrel diameter, defects of folding occurred as the mandrel diameter exceeded certain limits. Improvements in the surface roughness, distributions of effective strain, effective stress and residual circumferential stress, and the variation of mandrel force were also investigated.

From a water-environmental point of view, with a change of understanding and concern about vegetation, it changes that vegetation acts as stability of channel and bed, providing habitats and feed for fauna, and means improving those with appreciation of the beautiful but resistant factor to the flow So, it becomes important concern and study subjects that turbulent structure by vegetation, shear stress and transport as well as roughness and average velocity by vegetation. But from a hydraulic point of view, vegetation causes resistance to the flow and can increase the risk of flooding, Therefore, this thesis concern the flow characteristics in vegetated open channels. According to the experimental results, $z_0$ was on an average $0.4h_p$ in a vegetated open channel. So, the elevation corresponding to zero velocity in a vegetated channel was the middle of roughness element. The limit for logarithmically distributed profile over the roughness element was from $z_0$ to $0.80h_{over}$ for a vegetated channel. Among the existing theory, the method of Kouwen et al.(1969), Haber(1982), and El-Hakim and Salama(1992) except Stephan(2001) gave a very good value compared to the measured velocity profile.
