A Study on Transitional Unsteady Flows in a Square Duct

정4각단면 덕트 내에서 비정상 천이유동에 관한 연구

A system of conservation equations for steady, oscillatory and pulsating duct flows are solved analytically by linearizing non-linear convective terms. Analytical solutions of velocity profiles for these flows are obtained in the form of infinite series. The experimental study for the air flow in a square duct ($40mm{\times}40mm$ and 400 mm long) is carried out to measure velocity profiles and other parameters by using a hot-wire anemometer with data acquisition and processing system. Major characteristics of the flows such as the classification of flow patterns, determination of critical Reynolds number and velocity profiles is accomplished from the experismental results.
