The flow analysis has been made by applying the turbulent models in the helically coiled tubes of heat transfer. The k-${\varepsilon}$ and Spalart-Allmaras turbulent models are used in which the structured grid is applied for the simulation. The velocity vector, the pressure contour, the change of residuals along the iteration number and the friction factors are simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations to make clear the Reynolds number effect. The helical tube increases the centrifugal forces by which the wall shear stress become larger on the outer side of the tube. The centrifugal force makes the heat transfer rate locally larger due to the increase of the flow energy, which finds out the close relationship between the pressure drop and friction factor in the internal flow. The present numerical results are compared with others, for example, in the value of friction factor for validation.

Velocity profiles of laminar, transition and turbulent boundary layers were investigated by using Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) measurements on the flat plate at Mach 2.96. The Schlieren visualization and PIV measurements are also used to confirm whether the oblique shock wave generated from the leading edge affects the flow field over the flat plate. The laminar velocity profile measured from the experiment was well matched with the compressible Blasius solution. The velocity profile of the transition boundary layer was well correlated with the theoretical turbulent velocity profile from near the wall and the transition began from Re = $1.41{\times}106$. For the turbulent boundary layer, considering compressibility effects, the Van Driest-transformed velocity satisfies the incompressible log-law. It is found that the log region is extended farther in the wall-normal direction compared to the log region in incompressible boundary layer.

Hybrid propulsion systems provide many advantages in terms of stable operation and safety. However, classical hybrid rocket motors have lower fuel regression rate and combustion efficiency compared to solid propellant rocket motor. The recent research efforts are focused on the improvement of volume limitation and regression rate in the hybrid rocket engine. The present study has numerically investigated the combustion processes in the hybrid rocket engine. The turbulent combustion is represented by the eddy breakup model and Hiroyasu and Nagle and Strickland-Constable model are used for soot formation and soot oxidation. Radiative heat transfer is modeled by finite volume method. To reduce the uncertainties for convective heat transfer near solid fuel surface having strong blowing effect, the Low Reynolds number $\kappa-\varepsilon$ turbulent model is employed. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussion has been made for the turbulent combustion processes in the vortex hybrid rocket engine.

홍수시 교각이나 교량 상판에 집적되는 유송잡물은 하천통수단면을 급격히 축소시켜 수위 상승을 일으키고 교량에 가해지는 유수압을 가중시켜 교량 파괴를 발생시킨다. 이러한 흐름의 변화는 교각 기초부의 세굴 깊이와 면적을 증가시키고 교각 및 교량 상판에 대한 유수압을 증가시켜 교량 자체의 안전성을 위협할 뿐 아니라 수위 상승으로 인한 범람 및 인근 구조물 파손 위험도 초래한다. 이에 대한 대책 마련을 위해서는 교량에 유송잡물이 집적된 경우 변화하는 흐름 특성을 파악하고 그에 대한 이해가 먼저 이루어져야 한다. 기존 연구는 교량에 유송잡물이 집적된 경우 발생하는 교각 기초부의 세굴 양상의 변화에만 초점을 두거나, 교량 인근의 국부적 범위에 대한 흐름 특성 변화에만 집중하여 조사한 경우가 대부분이다. 그러나 하천 내 횡단 구조물 특성 변화로 인한 흐름의 변화는 해당 구조물이 위치한 지점뿐 아니라 상하류의 상당한 범위에 걸쳐 지속적으로 해당 구조물 및 주변 시설에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실험용 개수로에 교량 모형을 설치하여 수리모형실험을 수행하였고 유송잡물로 인한 교량 폐색이 발생한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우의 두 가지 조건을 고려하였다. 관찰 구간은 유송잡물이 집적된 교량의 상하류에 발생하는 흐름 변화를 상류는 교량 상판 길이의 약 3.33배 떨어진 위치까지 관찰하였으며 하류로는 교량 상판 길이의 10배 떨어진 위치까지 아우르는 구간에 대하여 관찰하였다. 두 가지 경우의 교량 모형에 동일한 흐름 조건을 적용하여 3차원 초음파 유속계를 이용하여 순간유속을 측정하였고, 시간평균유속, 레이놀즈 응력 및 난류 운동 에너지를 계산하여 평균 흐름 및 난류 특성의 변화를 비교 분석 하였다. 수리모형실험을 통해 유송잡물 집적으로 인한 교각 전면부와 후면부에서 하강류의 크기가 약 2배 정도 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

A three dimensional numerical simulation of laminar flow and heat transfer in fully developed curved pipe flow has been performed to study the effects of Dean number and pipe curvature on the flow and temperature fields under the thermal boundary condition of axially uniform wall heat flux. The Reynolds number under consideration ranges from 100 to 4000, and the Prandtl number is 0.71. The curvature ratios are 0.01, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1. The axial velocity and temperature profiles and the local Nusselt number obtained from the present study are in good agreement with the previous numerical and experimental results currently available. To show the effects of pipe curvature on the flow and heat transfer, the resistance coefficients and heat transfer coefficients are computed and compared with the results of the previous theoretical and experimental studies. The averaged Nusselt number is correlated with Dean and Prandtl numbers. Furthermore, the critical Reynolds number for transition to turbulent flow is observed to depend upon the curvature ratio.

A numerical study was made of heat transfer in locally-forced turbulent separated and reattaching flow over a backward-facing step. The local forcing was given to the flow by means of sinusoidally oscillating jet from a separation line. A Rhee and Sung version of the unsteady $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$-f(sub)u model and the diffusivity tensor heat transfer model were employed. The Reynolds number was fixed at Re(sub)H=33,000 and the forcing frequency was varied in the range 0$\leq$fH/U(sub)$\infty$$\leq$2. The condition of constant heat flux was imposed at the bottom wall. The predicted results were compared and validated with the experimental data of Chun and Sung and Vogel and Eaton. The enhancement of heat transfer in turbulent separated and reattaching flow by local forcing was evaluated and analyzed.

The instantaneous and ensemble averaged flow characteristics of a round jet issuing normally into a crossflow was studied using a flow visualization technique and Particle Image Velocimetry measurements. Experiments were performed at a jet-to-crossflow velocity ratio, 3.3, and two Reynolds numbers, 1050 and 2100, based on crossflow velocity and jet diameter. Instantaneous laser tomographic images of the vertical center plane of the crossflow jet showed that there exist very different natures in the flow structures of the near field jet even though the velocity ratio is the same. It was found that the shear layer becomes much thicker when the Reynolds number is 2100 due to the strong entrainment of the inviscid fluid by turbulent interaction between the jet and crossflow. The mean and second order statistics were calculated by ensemble averaging over 1000 realizations of instantaneous velocity fields. The detail characteristics of mean flow field, stream wise and vertical r.m.s. velocity fluctuations, and Reynolds shear stress distributions were presented. The new PlV results were compared with those from previous experimental and LES studies.

An unsteady numerical simulation was performed for locally-forced separated and reattaching flow over a backward-facing step. The local forcing was given to the separated and reattaching flow by means of a sinusoidally oscillating jet from a separation line. A version of the $k-{\varepsilon}-f_{\mu}$ model was employed, in which the near-wall behavior without reference to distance and the nonequilibrium effect in the recirculation region were incorporated. The Reynolds number based on the step height (H) was fixed at $Re_H=33000$, and the forcing frequency was varied in the range $0{\leq}St_H{\leq}2$. The predicted results were compared and validated with the experimental data of Chun and Sung. It was shown that the unsteady locally-forced separated and reattaching flows are predicted reasonably well with the $k-{\varepsilon}-f_{\mu}$ model. To characterize the large-scale vortex evolution due to the local forcing, numerical flow visualizations were carried out.

Turbulent natural convective flow and heat transfer in a square enclosure with horizontal partition are investigated numerically. The enclosure is composed of a lower hot and a upper cold horizontal walls and adiabatic vertical walls. Partitions carried with the upward, downward, and both control plates are attached perpendicularly to the one of the vertical insulated walls, respectively. The low Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ model is adopted to calculate the turbulent thermal convection. The governing equations are solved by using the finite element method with Galerkin method. The computations have been carried out by varying the length of partition, the position of control plates, and the Rayleigh number based on the temperature difference between two horizontal walls and the enclosure height for water(Pr=4.95). When the control plates are attached at the edge of partition, the stability of oscillating flow grows wrose with the increase of Rayleigh number and the partition length. The heat transfer rate has been reducer than that of no control plate due to the restraint of control plates with the increase of Rayleigh number.

This study represents numerical analysis in top opening rectangular with a heating source. The governing equations were solved by a finite volume method, a SIMPLE algorithm was adopted to solve a pressure term. The top boundary with free surface was calculated by energy balance condition. As the results of simulations, the magnitudes of the velocity vectors and isotherms were very small at the lower space of a heating source. The mean Nusselt numbers are increased proportionally to the Grashof number, the heat transfer at Y/H=0.25 was greater than other positions.
