Nucleate boiling experiments with constant wall temperature of heating surface were performed using R113 for almost saturated pool boiling conditions. A microscale heater array and Wheatstone bridge circuits were used to maintain a constant wall temperature condition and to measure the heat flow rate with high temporal and spatial resolutions. Bubble images during the bubble growth were taken as 5000 frames a sec using a high-speed CCD camera synchronized with the heat flow rate measurements. The geometry of the bubble during growth time could be obtained from the captured bubble images. The bubble growth behavior was analyzed using the new dimensionless parameters for each growth regions to permit comparisons with previous results at the same scale. We found that the new dimensionless parameters can describe the whole growth region as initial and later respectively. The comparisons showed good agreement in the initial and thermal growth regions. The required heat flow rate for the volume change of the observed bubble was estimated to be larger than the instantaneous heat flow rate measured at the wall. Heat, which is different from the instantaneous heat supplied through the heating wall, can be estimated as being transferred through the interface between bubble and liquid even with saturated pool conditions. This phenomenon under a saturated pool condition needs to be analyzed and the data from this study can supply the good experimental data with the precise boundary condition (constant wall temperature).

Recent experimental data shows that the noticeable feature of irregular roughened spots on the fuel surface occurs during the combustion test. The generation of these unexpected patterns is likely to be resulted from the disturbed boundary layer due caused by wall blowing which is intended to simulate the process of fuel vaporization. LES without chemical reaction was conducted to investigate the flow characteristics at the near-fuel surface and the behavior of turbulent structures which is evolved by the wall blowing at the Reynolds number of 23,000. Cylindrical geometry was considered to get the most reality of the calculation results because real hybrid rocket motor is circular grain configuration. It was shown that the wall blowing pushed turbulent structures upwards making them tilted and this skewed displacement, in effect, left the foot prints of the structures on the surface. This change of kinematics may explain the formation of irregular isolated spots on the fuel surface observed in the experiment.

The wall interference effects around the wind-turbine airfoil are experimentally investigated at low Reynolds numbers in a closed test-section wind tunnel. The test is performed at free-stream velocities from 10 to 31 m/s, which correspond to Reynolds numbers ranging from $1.5{\times}10^5$ to $4.6{\times}10^5$ based on chord of the airfoil. The blockage-area ratios, which is the ratio of the chord to the test-section width, are 27.8%, 38.5%, 41.7%, 45.5%, and 55.6%. The test results for the airfoil show that the transition point on the airfoil surface tends to move backward due to wall interference. The wall pressures for an adequate interference correction by a measured-boundary-condition method are desirable more than three times region of the chord before and after around the reference center.

This paper reports on tests of reinforced concrete shear walls for wall-type apartment structure under axial loads and the cyclic reversal of lateral loads with different confinement of the boundary elements. Confinement of the extreme element by U-stirrups and tie hooks seems to be as effective as closed stirrups. The shear strength capacity seems not to be increased by the confinement but deformation capacity improved.

A Seismic retrofit idea based on a first principle is proposed for existing RC walls under various level of axial loading. In application of the proposed retrofit method, designers can choose the size and shape of boundary elements of wall sections for a required level of ductility. For this axial load ratio, steel ratio, and strength of concrete and steel are considered as design parameters. In order to show the usage of the idea, several design charts are presented with an application example.

The characteristics of slow wave structure employed for backward wave oscillators expected to be a high power microwave source are studied analyytically. The slow wave structure is a sinusoidally corrugated wall waveguide. The waveguide is designed and fabricated by cast aluminun. The dispersion relation and transmitted characteristics for microwaves are measured in the air. There exist literatures on high efficiency of enhanced radiation from backward wave oscillators involving plasma studied experimentally.

The object of this study is the numerical analysis about the sound pressure distribution in reverberation rooms. In order to obtain the effect of the boundary conditions of the wall, the sound field was computed for various absorption coefficients and impedances. And the effect of the room shape was investigated by dealing with pentagonal type as well as the rectangular type. In addition an experiment was performed for the sound pressure distribution in a reverberation room and the result was compared with the analysis.

Hemodynamics behavior of the blood flow is influenced by the presence of the arterial stenosis. If stenosis is present in an artery, normal blood flow is disturbed. In the present study, characteristics of steady and pulsatile flow of non-Newtonian fluid, the effects of stenosised geometry are analyzed by numerical simulation. One interesting point is that non-symmetric solutions were obtained at severity stenosis, although the stenosis and the boundary condition were all axisymmetric.

The formulation for hybrid-QUICK scheme of convective transport terms in finite-volume calculation procedure is presented. Source terms are modified to apply the hybrid-QUICK scheme. Test calculations are performed for wall-driven cavity flow at Re=$10_2$, $10_3$, and $10_4$. These include the evaluation of boundary conditions approximated by third-order finite difference scheme. The stable and converged solutions are obtained without unsteady terms in the momentum equations. The results using hybrid-QUICK scheme show no difference with those using hybrid scheme at low Re ($=10_2$) and are better at higher Re ($10_3$, and $10_4$).
