Two-dimensional Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES) was carried out to investigate the uniform flow over a twin-box bridge deck (TBBD) with various gap ratios of L/C=5.1%, 12.8%, 25.6%, 38.5%, 73.3% and 108.2% (L: the gap-width between two girders, C: the chord length of a single girder) at Reynolds number, Re=4×104. The aerodynamic coefficients of the prototype deck with gap ratio of 73.3% obtained from the present simulation were compared with the previous experimental and numerical data for different attack angles to validate the present numerical method. Particular attention is devoted to the fluctuating pressure distribution and forces, shear layer reattachment position, wake velocity and flow pattern in order to understand the effects of gap ratio on dynamic flow interaction with the twin-box bridge deck. The flow structure is sensitive to the gap, thus a change in L/C thus leads to single-side shedding regime at L/C≤25.6%, and co-shedding regime at L/C≥35.8% distinguished by drastic changes in flow structure and vortex shedding. The gap-ratio-dependent Strouhal number gradually increases from 0.12 to 0.27, though the domain frequencies of vortices shedding from two girders are identical. The mean and fluctuating pressure distributions is significantly influenced by the flow pattern, and thus the fluctuating lift force on two girders increases or decreases with increasing of L/C in the single-side shedding and co-shedding regime, respectively. In addition, the flow mechanisms for the variation in aerodynamic performance with respect to gap ratios are discussed in detail.

본 연구는 상류측에 작은 삼각주를 가진 정방형주의 유동장 특성을 정방형주 한 변의 길이에 대한 삼각주의 폭비 및 정방형주 전면에서부터 삼각주 후면까지의 간격을 변수로 하여 PIV를 이용한 가시화실험으로 파악한 것이다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 정방형주 후류측 스트로할 수는 항력감소율과 같은 특성을 나타내었는데, 간격비가 증가할수록 증가한 후 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 삼각주를 설치한 경우 정방형주 상류측과 하류측에 정체영역이 나타났으며, 그 정체영역의 크기는 정방형주의 상류측은 삼각주의 폭비가 클수록 증가하는데 비해, 하류측은 오히려 감소했다.

In a low speed open-type wind tunnel, a group of parallel wakes downstream of two dimensional grid model consisting of several circular cylinders were experimentally investigated to study the response of the wake flows to the acoustic excitation, in hoping to promote the understanding of the underlying mechanism behind the gross flow change due to artificial excitation. In the unexcited wake flows, the development of the individual wakes behind cylinders was almost uniform for the ratio of the spacing to the cylinder diameter of s/d.geq.1.5. For smaller s/d, however, the jet streams issued through the gaps between the cylinders became biased in one side and the cylinders had wakes of different sizes. At s/d=1.25, the gap flow directions change in time, leading to unstable wake patterns. Further reduction in s/d made this unstable flip-flopping of the jets stable. The most effective excitation frequency was found to be in the Strouhal number range of St=0.5-0.6. This frequency was related to the vortex shedding. At s/d=1.75, the excitation frequency was 2 or 4 times the vortex shedding frequency. When the flow was excited at this frequency, the vortex sheddings were energized, and pairings between neighboring vortices were generated. Also, the merging process between individual wakes was accelerated. The unstable and unbalanced wake patterns at s/d=2.15 were made stable and balanced. The unstable and unbalanced wake patterns at s/d=2.15 were made stable and balanced. For smaller spacing of s/d .leq,1.0, the acoustic excitation became less effective in controlling the flow.

Experiments were conducted to clarify role of the outermost edge flame on low-strain-rate flame extinction in buoyancy-suppressed non-premixed methane flames diluted with He and $N_2$. The use of He curtain flow produced a microgravity level of $10^{-2}-10^{-3}g$ in $N_2$- and He-diluted non-premixed counterflow flame experiments. The critical He and $N_2$ mole fractions at extinction with a global strain rate were examined at various burner diameters (10, 20, and 25 mm). The results showed that the extinction curves differed appreciably with burner diameter. Before the turning point along the extinction curve, low-strain-rate flames were extinguished via shrinkage of the outermost edge flame with and without self-excitation. High-strain-rate flames were extinguished via a flame hole while the outermost edge flame was stationary. These characteristics could be identified by the behavior of the outermost edge flame. The results also showed that the outermost edge flame was not influenced by radiative heat loss but by convective heat addition and conductive heat losses to the ambient He curtain flow. The numerical results were discussed in detail. The self-excitation before the extinction of a low-strain-rate flame was well described by a dependency of the Strouhal number on global strain rate and normalized nozzle exit velocity.

본 논문에서는 비정상 상태의 비압축성 유동장을 해석하기 위하여 물체맞춤격자방법이 아닌 가상경계법을 사용하였다. 가상경계법은 구조격자를 사용하여 구조물 경계면에서 Momentum Forceing을 사용하여 가상의 경계를 만들어 유동장을 해석하는 방법이다. Navier-Stoke 방정식의 수치 이산화 방법으로 Kim et al(1985)이 사용한 Fractional Step Method(FSM)을 사용하였다. 시간에 대하여 semi-implicit FSM를 사용하였고, 확산항에 대해서는 2차 정확도의 Crank-Nicolson Method를 대류항은 3차 정확도의 Runge-Kutta Method를 사용 하였다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용한 유동장 해석이 교량 단면에 대하여 수치해석이 가능한지 검토하였다. 가상경계법은 현재 많은 연구가 유선형의 구조물에 대하여 수행되어 오고 있다. 교량 단면과 같은 각 진 구조물에 대한 검토는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 가상경계법에서 다루고 있는 구조물 경계면에서의 Momentum Forcing 방법이 유선형의 구조물에 맞추어 연구가 진행되었기 때문이다. 먼저 본 연구의 프로그램을 검증하기 위하여 원형 실린더에 대하여 가상경계법을 적용한 결과 Re 수 200에서 Strouhal Number, 양력계수, 항력계수를 이전 연구 결과와 비교하였다. Williamson(1988)과 Zhang(1995)의 연구결과와 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 교량의 단면과 같은 각진 구조물(Bluff Body)에 대하여 가상경계법 적용하였다. 본 논문의 연구에서 평가 대상으로 하고 있는 2차원 교량 단면에 대하여 유동장 해석을 하였다. 본 논문에서 정량적인 유체력과 유동장에 대한 비교 및 검토가 이루어지지 못했지만 압력장과 유선의 형태가 이론적인 값을 벗어나지 않고 있는 것으로 확인 되었다. Re 수 2700에서 전산 해석을 수행하였으며, 교량 단면 주위의 압력계수와 박리현상 그리고 후류에서의 Vortex shedding 현상이 모두 적절한 분포가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 가상경계법을 이용하여 각진 구조물에 대한 주위 유동장해석에 대한 가능성을 확인하였으며, 풍동실험과의 결과비교를 통하여 가상경계법을 이용하여 교량 단면 주위의 유동장 해석 결과를 정량적으로 비교할 것이다.

A numerical study on the flow over a square cylinder in the vicinity of a wall is conducted for different Couette-Poiseuille-based non-uniform flow with the non-dimensional pressure gradient P varying from 0 to 5. The non-dimensional gap ratio L (=$H^{\ast}/a^{\ast}$) is changed from 0.1 to 2, where $H^{\ast}$ is gap height between the cylinder and wall, and $a^{\ast}$ is the cylinder width. The governing equations are solved numerically through finite volume method based on SIMPLE algorithm on a staggered grid system. Both P and L have a substantial influence on the flow structure, time-mean drag coefficient ${\bar{C}}_D$, fluctuating (rms) lift coefficient ($C_L{^{\prime}}$), and Strouhal number St. The changes in P and L leads to four distinct flow regimes (I, II, III and IV). Following the flow structure change, the ${\bar{C}}_D$, $C_L{^{\prime}}$, and St all vary greatly with the change in L and/or P. The ${\bar{C}}_D$ and $C_L{^{\prime}}$ both grow with increasing P and/or L. The St increases with P for a given L, being less sensitive to L for a smaller P (< 2) and more sensitive to L for a larger P (> 2). A strong relationship is observed between the flow regimes and the values of ${\bar{C}}_D$, $C_L{^{\prime}}$ and St. An increase in P affects the pressure distribution more on the top surface than on bottom surface while an increase in L does the opposite.

지면엔 근접한 사각주 후면에서 발생하는 비정상 와류 배출은 지상 운송체, 교량, 건물 등의 항력 증가뿐 아니라, 동안정성에도 큰 영향을 미친다. 비압축성 평균 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 수정된 ${\varepsilon}-SST$ 난류 모델을 적용하여 사각주 하부와 지면과의 간극 유동을 해석하였다. 사각주 후류에서 와류가 발생하는 경우에는 간극에서의 평균 최대 속도가 억제된 경우에 비하여 높으며, 또한 최대 속도의 위치 또한 사각주 하부에 근접한 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 사각주 하부에 수평, 수직의 펜스를 설치하는 수동 제어기법을 적용하여 사각 주 후류의 와류 배출용 억제할 수 있다.

Experimental study on comparison of diffusive-thermal self-excitation with buoyancy-driven one due to accumulation of partially premixed, preheated mixture in front of edge flame was conducted in horizontally and vertically injected laminar free-jet flames with an applied DC electric field of -10 kV. The application of horizontal injection method with the DC electric field to jet flames was experimentally designed to suppress heat-loss-induced self-excitation and thereby to highlight the definite difference between both diffusive-thermal and buoyancy-driven self-excitations with the same order of O(1.0 Hz), in that diffusive-thermal self-excitation has not been so far found experimentally in laminar jet flames. Flame stability maps in vertically and horizontally injected jet flames are presented. The distinct modes of individual self-excitation are shown to be well described by their own phase diagrams. The results show that buoyancy-driven self-excitation due to the accumulation of partially premixed, preheated mixtures in front of edge flame is branched from the buoyancy-induced self-excitation with O(10 Hz) due to a flame flicker. Once the buoyancy-driven self-excitation appears, it suppresses buoyancy-induced as well as diffusive-thermal self-excitation. The key characteristics for individual self-excitation are discussed and their functional dependencies of Strouhal number upon related physical parameters are also presented.

Higher-mode vertical vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) have been observed on several steel box-girder suspension bridges where different vertical modes are selectively excited in turn with wind velocity in accordance with the Strouhal law. Understanding the relationship of VIV amplitudes for different modes of vibration is very important for wind-resistant design of long-span box-girder suspension bridges. In this study, the basic rectangular cross-section with side ratio of B/D=6 is used to investigate the effect of different modes on VIV amplitudes by section model tests. The section model is flexibly mounted in wind tunnel with a variety of spring constants for simulating different modes of vibration and the non-dimensional vertical amplitudes are determined as a function of reduced velocity U/fD. Two 'lock-in' ranges are observed at the same onset reduced velocities of approximately 4.8 and 9.4 for all cases. The second 'lock-in' range, which is induced by the conventional vortex shedding, consistently gives larger responses than the first one and the Sc-normalized maximum non-dimensional responses are almost the same for different spring constants. The first 'lock-in' range where the vibration frequency is approximately two times the vortex shedding frequency is probably a result of super-harmonic resonance or the "frequency demultiplication". The main conclusion drawn from the section model study, central to the higher-mode VIV of suspension bridges, is that the VIV amplitude for different modes is the same provided that the Sc number for these modes is identical.
