This paper presents a numerical investigation of vorticity generation in fully vegetated open-channel flows. The Reynolds stress model is used for the turbulence closure. Open-channel flows with rough bed-smooth sidewalls and smooth bed-rough sidewalls are simulated. The computed vectors show that in channel flows with rough bed and rough sidewalls, the free-surface secondary currents become relatively smaller and larger, respectively, compared with that of plain channel flows. Also, open-channel flows over vegetation are simulated. The computed bottom vortex occupies the entire water depth, while the free-surface vortex is reduced. The contours of turbulent anisotropy and Reynolds stress are presented with different density of vegetation. The budget analysis of vorticity equation is carried out to investigate the generation mechanism of secondary currents. The results of the budget analysis show that in plain open-channel flow, the production by anisotropy is important in the vicinity of the wall and free-surface boundaries, and the production by Reynolds stress is important in the region away from the boundaries. However, this rule is not effective in vegetated channel flows. Also, in plain channel flows, the vorticity is generated mainly in the vicinity of the free-surface and the bottom, while in vegetated channel flows, the regions of the bottom and vegetation height are important to generate the vorticity.

바닥에서 생성되는 난류는 순간적으로 강한 모멘텀을 바닥에 전달함과 동시에 바닥에 있는 입자를 움직이게 한다. 경계층 내 난류 운동에 대한 분석은 다양한 유사 이송 문제를 이해하기 위해 필수적이며 이에 따라 많은 선행 연구들은 실험실 실험을 통해 해당 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 선행 연구에서 사용하지 못했던 진보된 실험 방법을 활용하여 바닥 경계층 내의 난류 운동에 대해 확인하고 해당 운동에 의해 관성 입자의 움직임이 어떻게 발생하는지에 대하여 물리적으로 설명하고자 한다. 다양한 흐름 조건에서 3가지의 입경 크기를 가지는 모래 입자를 가지고 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 조건별 고해상도 유속장 및 관성 입자의 움직임은 3차원 입자 영상 유속계 (Particle Image Velocimetry; 이하 PIV)와 입자 추적 유속계 (Particle Tracking Velocimetry; 이하 PTV)를 동시에 적용하여 파악하였다. 취득된 3차원 유속장과 입자 궤적을 기반으로 실험 조건별 흐름 및 입자 거동 특성에 대해 분석하였으며, 관성 입자의 움직임을 발생시키는 3차원 난류 운동은 측정된 유속장에서 산정한 Q-criterion 값을 기반으로 도식화하였다. 측정값 내에는 난류 운동에 대한 정보와 더불어 잡음이 포함되어 있으므로 이를 제거하고자 적합 직교 분해 (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition; 이하 POD) 방법을 적용하였다. 그리고 POD로 추출한 유속장을 통해 바닥면 부근에 존재하는 헤어핀 와류 운동 혹은 와류 묶음과 같은 난류 고유 구조를 파악하였다. 해당 와류 운동들의 3차원 난류 특성을 확인하고자 비등방성 불변 지도(anisotropy invariant map)를 활용하였으며 경계층 내부에서 난류의 형태가 흐름 방향으로 늘어진 럭비공 형태임을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 입자의 움직임을 발생시키는 난류 이벤트를 결정하고자 사방구 분석 (Quadrant analysis) 기법을 적용하였으며 흐름 조건별로 입자를 움직이게 하는 난류 이벤트는 달라짐을 확인하였다.

Existing conventional model for analysis of shallow water flow just assumed the internal boundary condition as free-slip, which resulted in the wrong prediction about the velocity, vorticity, water level, shear stress distribution, and time variation of drag and lift force around a structure. In this study, a finite element model that can predict flow characteristics around the structure accurately was developed and internal boundary conditions were generalized as partial slip condition using slip length concept. Laminar flow characteristics behind circular cylinder were analyzed by varying the internal boundary conditions. The simulation results of (1) time variations of longitudinal and transverse velocities, and vorticity; (2) wake length; (3) vortex shedding phenomena by slip length; (4) and mass conservation showed that the vortex shedding had never observed and laminar flow like creeping motion was occurred under free-slip condition. Assignment of partial slip condition changed the velocity distribution on the cylinder surface and influenced the magnitude of the shear stress and the occurrence of vorticity so that the period of vortex shedding was reduced compared with the case of no slip condition. The maximum mass conservation error occurred in the case of no slip condition, which had the value of 0.73%, and there was 0.21 % reduction in the maximum mass conservation error by changing the internal boundary condition from no slip to partial slip condition.

The aim of this study is to compare k-$\varepsilon$ and k-$\omega$ closures under the condition of oscillatory layer flow at high Reynolds number. A one dimensional vertical model incorporated with flow momentum equations and turbulence models (k-$\varepsilon$ and k-$\omega$) is applied to the laboratory measurements in the turbulent oscillatory boundary layer. The numerical simulation reveals that both turbulence models calculate similar velocity profiles and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). In addition, both deliver high accuracy under the condition of negligible spanwise pressure gradient. Therefore, it is recommended in this study to use k-$\varepsilon$ closure, of which numerical coefficients have been calibrated from many studies, for the cases of straight channel, estuary, and coastal environment where the spanwise pressure gradient is not significant.

An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the influence of Reynolds number on the near-wake of an oscillating airfoil. An NACA 0012 airfoil was sinusoidally pitched at the quarter chord point, and is oscillated over a range of instantaneous angles of attack of $\pm$6$^{\circ}$. An X-type hot-wire probe was employed to measure the near-wake of an oscillating airfoil, and the smoke-wire visualization technique was used to examine the flow properties of the boundary layer. The free-stream velocities were 1.98, 2.83 and 4.03 m/s and the corresponding chord Reynolds numbers were 2.3${\times}10^4$, 3.3$\times$104 and 4.8${\times}10^4$, respectively. The frequency of airfoil oscillation was adjusted to fix a reduced frequency of K=0.1. The results show that the properties of the boundary layer and the near-wake can dramatically be distinguished in the range of Reynolds numbers between 2.3${\times}10^4$ and 3.3${\times}10^4$, on the other hand, it is similar in the cases of Re=3.3$\times$104 and 4.8$\times$104. This is caused by that the unsteady separation point is dramatically delayed in case of Re= 2.3${\times}10^4$.

This paper proposes a method to calculate the characteristics of a coupled hydrodynamic journal and thrust bearing of a HDD spindle motor. The governing equations for the journal and thrust bearings are the two dimensional Reynolds equations in $\theta z$ and $ r\theta$ planes, respectively. Finite element method is appropriately applied to analyze the coupled journal and thrust bearing by satisfying the continuity of mass and pressure at the interface between the journal and thrust bearings. The pressure in a coupled bearing is calculated by applying the Reynolds boundary condition and compared with that by using the Half-Sommerfeld boundary condition. The static characteristics are obtained by integrating the pressure along the fluid film. The flying height of spindle motor is measured to verify the proposed analytical result. This research shows that the proposed method can describe HDB in a HDD system more accurately and realistically than the separate analysis of a journal or thrust bearing.

This paper presents the comparison analysis of a Journal and thrust FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) and a conical FDB in a HDD spindle motor. The Reynolds equation is appropriately transformed to describe journal, thrust and conical bearing. Finite element method is applied to analyze the FDB by satisfying the continuity of mass and pressure at the interface between the hearings. The pressure field of the bearings is numerically approximated by applying the Reynolds boundary condition. The load and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and the velocity gradient along the fluid film. The flying height of the spindle motor is measured to verify the proposed analytical result. This research shows that the conical bearing generates bigger load capacity and less friction torque than the journal and thrust bearing in a HDD spindle motor.

An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the influence of flow conditions on a boundary layer in the near-wake of a flat plate. The flow conditions in the vicinity of the trailing edge that is influenced by upstream condition history are an essential factor that determines the physical characteristics of a near-wake. Tripping wires attached at various positions were selected to change flow conditions of a boundary layer. The flows such as laminar, transitional, and turbulent boundary layer at 0.98C from the leading edge are imposed in order to investigate the evolution of symmetric and asymmetric wake. An x-type hot-wire probe(55P61) is employed to measure at 8 stations in the near-wake. Test results show that the near-wake for the case of a turbulent boundary layer is relatively insensitive to instability after separating at the trailing edge, and Reynolds shear stress in the near-wake for the case of a turbulent boundary layer collapses due to turbulent kinetic energy.

This paper presents the influence of Reynolds number on propeller open-water performance at the towing tank and the cavitation tunnel for series propellers(No. of blade=4, $0.3{\leq}A_E/A_O{\leq}0.75,\;0.5{\leq}P/D{\leq}1.1$). It is shown that the Reynolds number recommanded by 15th and 17th ITTC is not large enough to obtain reliable P.O.W. test results and then the suitable test conditions for the both facilities is suggested. The correlation of the propeller open-water characteristics at the cavitation tunnel and the towing tank is described and a correlation factor $\kappa$ is deduced from those test results. The viscous effect of the flow around the propeller shaft on the propeller characteristics is investigated from the velocity measurement by Laser Doppler Velocitimetry(L.D.V.). The measured velocity distribution shows that viscous flow effect is not negligible.
