The characteristics of the unsteady flowfield of a square prism having a detached splitter plate at the wake side were investigated by advanced vortex method. The instantaneous and average velocity field and pressure field around a square prism without and having splitter plate were calculated by forcing the gap ratio having the maximum drag reduction rate, at Reynolds number $Re=1.0{\times}10^4$ and the width ratio H/B=1.0 of splitter to the prism width. The drag and lift coefficients on the square prism were also obtained. The calculated results agree with the measured drag coefficients and pressure distributions on the square prism. The vortices of the opposite direction at upside and down side of the splitter plate were generated by installing of the plate. And the drag on the square prism was decreased by increasing of the pressure of back face of the prism with the vortices.

A study has been done on the three dimensional turbulent flow characteristic near the porous wall. The porous holes are considered by penetrating the wall in regular arrangement, and porosity is controlled by diameter of holes. Flow characteristics near the three dimensional porous wall are compared with field test results and self-generated experimental results. FLUENT is employed for computational analysis on the effect of three dimensional porosity with flow and pressure characteristics. As a result, drag coefficient is defined and compared for three dimensional effect. The drag coefficient is mostly a function of porosity, whereas the effect of Reynolds number is minimal, and its correlation is presented in terms of three dimensional porosity.

루프 페어링은 화물차의 주행저항 및 유도항력을 줄이기 위해 설치되는 장치 중 하나이다. 이 장치는 화물차의 지붕 윗부분에 설치하여 화물차가 받는 항력을 줄이는데 사용이 된다. 이번 과제에서는 루프 페어링의 효과에 대해 유체역학적인 증명 및 확인을 위해 루프 페어링의 설치 전-후 트럭의 형상에 따른 유동의 변화와 항력계수의 값을 EDISON CFD를 사용하여 구한 후 각각 비교 하였다. 이를 위해 EDISON CFD의 압력 contour와 stream line, 정압계수(Cp)그래프를 통해 트럭의 주행 중 발생하는 박리현상을 가시적으로 확인하였고, 항력계수(Cd)값을 비교하는 것을 통해 루프 페어링을 설치한 경우가 미설치된 경우보다 주행 시 더욱 유리하다는 것으로 결론을 내렸다.

Sonic arc airfoil derived from the TSD theory is modified to new airfoil shape and its aerodynamic performance in transonic flow is investigated. The numerical simulation using Euler equations for the modified sonic arc airfoil is performed. The numerical results are compared with the aerodynamic performance of NACA0012 airfoil, of supercritical airfoil, and of NACA64A210 airfoil. In the same free stream Mach number of transonic flow, the pressure drag of the modified sonic arc airfoil is smaller than that of NACA0012 airfoil and the lift-drag ratio of the modified sonic arc airfoil is much larger than that of NACA0012 airfoil. In the comparison of the drag-divergence Mach number of transonic flow, the drag-divergence Mach number of the modified sonic arc airfoil is larger than that of NACA64A210 airfoil but is smaller than that of supercritical airfoil.

원주의 항력 감소와 원주 주위 유동의 제어에 대하여 실험적으로 연구하였다. 원주 주위 유동을 제어하기 위하여 작은 제어봉을 원주 전방에 설치하였다. 실험시 원주 직경(D=30mm)에 기초한 레이놀즈수는 $Re=2 {/times} 10^4$이었다. 제어봉의 직경(d)은 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm로 변화시켰으며, 원주와 제어봉 사이의 거리(L)를 조절하면서 원주의 표면압력분포와 후류속도를 측정하였다. 제어봉으로부터의 와 유출이 사라지는 임계거리 (critical distance) $ L_C$는 $ L_C$ /D=1.5+0.83d이었는데, $ L_C$를 전후로 유동특성과 항력값이 크게 바뀌었다. 특히 원주와 제어봉 사이의 거리가 임계거리보다 짧은 경우에는 항력이 감소하다가 $ L_C$보다 크게 되면 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 제어봉의 직경이 d/D=0.233인 경우, L/D=2.013의 조건에서 원주는 약 29%의 항력 감소를 보였고, 전체 항력은 L/D=1.833조건에서 약 25% 항력이 감소하였다.

In order to examine the possibility of using a cavity as a passive device for reduction of skin friction and heat transfer, an intensive parametric study over a broad range of the cavity depth and length at different Reynolds numbers is performed for both laminar and turbulent boundary layers in the present study. Direct and large eddy simulation techniques are used for turbulent boundary layers at low and moderate Reynolds numbers, respectively. for both laminar and turbulent boundary layers over a cavity, a flow oscillation occurs due to the shear layer instability when the cavity depth and length are sufficiently large and it plays an important role in the determination of drag and heat-transfer increase or decrease. For a cavity sufficiently small to suppress the flow oscillation, both the total drag and heat transfer are reduced. Therefore, the applicability of a cavity as a passive device for reduction of drag and heat transfer is fully confirmed in the present study. Scaling based on the wall shear rate of the incoming boundary layer is also proposed and it is found to be valid in steady flow over a cavity.

Two-phase vapor-liquid flows exist in many shell and tube heat exchangers such as condensers, evaporators, and nuclear steam generators. To understand the fluid dynamic forces acting on a structure subjected to a two-phase flow, it is essential to obtain detailed information about the characteristics of a two-phase flow. The characteristics of a two-phase flow and the flow parameters were introduced, and then, an experiment was performed to evaluate the pressure loss in the tube bundles and the fluid-dynamic force acting on the cylinder owing to the pressure distribution. A two-phase flow was pre-mixed at the entrance of the test section, and the experiments were undertaken using a normal triangular array of cylinders subjected to a two-phase cross-flow. The pressure loss along the flow direction in the tube bundles was measured to calculate the two-phase friction multiplier, and the multiplier was compared with the analytical value. Furthermore, the circular distributions of the pressure on the cylinders were measured. Based on the distribution and the fundamental theory of two-phase flow, the effects of the void fraction and mass flux per unit area on the pressure coefficient and the drag coefficient were evaluated. The drag coefficient was calculated by integrating the measured pressure on the tube by a numerical method. It was found that for low mass fluxes, the measured two-phase friction multipliers agree well with the analytical results, and good agreement for the effect of the void fraction on the drag coefficients, as calculated by the measured pressure distributions, is shown qualitatively, as compared to the existing experimental results.

본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD의 2D_Incomp_P 해석자를 이용하여 0.16부터 1,000,000까지 다양한 레이놀즈수에서 실린더의 유동 특성을 연구하였다. 임계 레이놀즈수 이하에서 실험값과 유사한 압력분포도를 제작하여 해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 레이놀즈수에 따른 항력계수의 그래프를 제작하여 항력계수의 값이 레이놀즈수의 변화에 대해 선형적으로 변화하는 것을 연구하였다. 같은 속도장일 때 특성길이에 따른 유동장의 차이점도 연구하기 위하여 특성길이에 변화를 주어 해석을 진행하였고, 특성길이가 길수록 박리가 빠르게 발생하는 것을 알게 되었다.

Various studies have been conducted for drag reduction of a high-speed vehicle by injecting counterflow jet from its nose cone. In this study, in order to obtain baseline data and key parameters for drag reduction method, the counterflow jet study of the USA is reviewed and summarized. The nose cone shapes of each study are hemisphere cylinder, truncated cone, and reentry capsule, and their test conditions are summarized accordingly. Key parameters for drag reduction are jet mach number, mass flow rate, and pressure ratio. Even though drag reduction effects show various results according to given test conditions, it is found that the drag reduction effect reaches up to 40~50%.
