This experimental study concerns the characteristics of a helical flow in a concentric annulus with a diameter ratio of 0.52, whose outer cylinder is stationary and inner one is rotating. The pressure losses and skin friction coefficients have been measured for the fully developed flow of Non-Newtonian fluid, aqueous solution of sodium carbomethyl cellulose (CMC) and bentonite with inner cylinder rotational speed of 0~400 prm. Also, the visualization of helical flows has been performed to observe the unstable waves. The results of present study reveal the relation of the Reynolds number Re and Rossby number Ro with respect to the skin friction coefficients. In somehow, they show the existence of flow instability mechanism. The pressure losses increase as the rotational speed increases, but the gradient of pressure losses decreases as the Reynolds number increases in the regime of transition and turbulence. And the increase of flow disturbance by Taylor vortex in a concentric annulus with rotating inner cylinder results in the decrease of the critical Reynolds number with the increase of skin friction coefficient.

The objective of the present study was to two-dimensionally investigate the characteristics of flow and wall shear stress under pulsatile flow in the aneurysm which is a local dilatation of the blood vessel for pulsatile flow. The numerical simulation using the commercial software were carried out for the diameter ratios(ratio of maximum diameter of aneurysm to the diameter of blood vessel) ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 and Womersley number, 15.47. It was shown that a recirculating flow at the bulge was developed and disappeared for one Period and the strength of vortex increased with the diameter ratio Especially. at time of 3.19s. the very weak recirculating flow was developed at the left upper sites of the aneurysm. The maximum values of the wall shear stress increased in Proportion to the diameter ratio. However. the Position of a maximum wall shear stress was the distal end of the aneurysm(z = 35mm) regardless of the diameter ratios.

A numerical study on a quantitative analogy of the fully developed flow between in a straight square duct rotating about an axis perpendicular to that of the duct and a stationary curved duct of square cross-section is carried out. In order to clarify the similarity of two turbulent flows, the dimensionless parameters $K_{TR} = Re^{1/4}/\sqrt{Ro}$ and the Rossby number, Ro, in a rotating straight duct flow were used as a set corresponding to $K_{TC} = Re^{1/4}/\sqrt{{\lambda}}$ and curvature ratio, ${\lambda}$, in a stationary curved duct flow so that they have the same dynamical meaning as $K_{LR} = Re/\sqrt{Ro}$ and $K_{LC} = Re/\sqrt{{\lambda}}$ of the fully developed laminar flows. For the large values of Ro or A, it is shown that the flow field satisfies the asymptotic invariance property: there are strong quantitative similarities between the two flows such as flow patterns and friction factors for the same values of $K_L$ and $K_T$.

Numerical calculations have been carried out for the mixed convection flow in a concentric curved annulus with constant heat flux boundary condition at inner wall. The flow is assumed to be fully developed so as to maintain a constant streamwise pressure and temperature gradient. Computations have been performed for flows of radius ratio 0.2 and 0.5 with the Dean number lying in the range 0$K^{1/2}$ for the wide range of the Dean number considered here.

The present study showed that a quantitative analogy of the fully developed laminar flows inorthogonally rotating rectangular ducts and stationary curved rectangular ducts of arbitrary aspect ratio could be established. In order to clarify the similarity of the two flows, the dimensionless parameters $K_{LR}$ =Re/√Ro and Rossby number Ro= $w_{m}$/$\Omega$d in a rotating strait duct were used as a set corresponding to Dean number $K_{LC}$ =Re/√λand curvature ratio λ=R/d in a stationary curved duct. Under the condition that the value of Rossby number and curvature ratio was large enough, the flow field satisfied the ‘asymptotic invariance property’: there were strong quantitative similarities between the two flows such as friction factors, flow patterns, and maximum axial velocity magnitudes for the same values of $K_{LR}$ and $K_{LC}$ .

In this study, it is numerically revealed that the secondary flow due to the Coriolls force in a straight duct rotating about an axis perpendicular to that of the duct is analogous to that caused by the centrifugal force in a stationary curved duct. Dimensionless parameters $K_{LR}=Re/\sqrt{Ro}$ and Rossby number in a rotating straight duct were used as a set corresponding to Dean number and curvature ratio in a stationary curved duct. When the value of Rossby number and curvature ratio is large, it is shown that the flow field satisfies the `asymptotic invariance property`, that is, there are strong quantitative similarities between the two flows such as friction factors, flow patterns, and maximum axial velocity magnitudes for the same values of $K_{LR}$ and Dean number.

A numerical solution for heat transfer of pulsating turbulent pipe flow was presented under the condition of fully developed dynamic regime and uniform well heat flux. The k-.epsilon. turbulent model was adopted to describe turbulent characteristics. The results were given at following conditions ; Time-averaged Reynolds number equal to 10000 ; Strouhal number ranged from 0.0005 to 0.05 ; The peak velocity fluctuation varied from 20 to 80 percent of the mean velocity. It was found that the effect of pulsation on local heat transfer rate is greater at downstream than upstream and the heat transfer was increased or decreased according to the pulsating conditions.

In the design of scramjet intake for hypersonic flight, a variety of aerothermodynamics phenomena are encountered. These phenomena include blunt leading - edge effects, boundary layer development issues, transition, inviscid / viscous coupling, shock - shock interactions, shock / boundary - layer interactions, and flow profile effects. For intakes that are designed to operate within a narrow Mach number / altitude envelope, an understanding of a few of these phenomena might be required. In this work several predominant flowfield phenomena (viscous phenomena, boundary - layer separation, and combustor entrance profile) are discussed to investigate the performance of the intake at the altitude and angle of attack extremes of the HyShot flight experiment.

In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the convective heat transfer characteristics of rectangular microchannels. The sample used in the experiments contained 20 rectangular microchannels in parallel. The channels had a hydraulic diameter of 700 ${\mu}m$. Distilled water was used as the working fluid. In the experiments, the Reynolds number ranged from 400 to 800, heat flux ranged from 35 to 85 kW/$m^2$, and the inlet fluid temperature was $20^{\circ}C$. As a result, the convective heat transfer coefficient increased upon increasing the Reynolds number and ranged from 4.6 to 6.4 kW/$m^2/^{\circ}C$ in the thermally fully developed region. Moreover, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the thermal entry length in the rectangular microchannels. However, it was observed that a variable heat flux did not affect the thermal entry length. In conclusion, a correlation was proposed to indicate the heat transfer characteristics in a thermally fully developed region.

An experimental study on supersonic jets produced by supersonic nozzles at low operating pressure ratio is conducted. In the present experiments, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was employed to quantitatively specify the jet flowfield, and a color Schlieren optical method was applied to observe the same jets qualitatively. Convergent-divergent nozzles were used to generate the jet flow with design Mach numbers of 1.5 and 1.8. Nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs) were varied from 4 to 7. A good comparison of the jet size from the Schlieren images with the theoretical values is obtained. The obtained images clearly showed the major features of the under-expanded jet and over-expanded jet.
