Numerical analysis on the three-dimensional laminar flows (Re=1000) and heat transfer in a rectangular channel with punched longitudinal vortex generator have been conducted to explore the heat transfer enhancement and the combined effect of the angle of attack ${\alpha}$ and the lovour angle ${\beta}$. Rectangular winglets have been used as vortex generators. Velocity and temperature fields and spanwise averaged Nu and friction factor were presented. Enhancement of heat transfer and flow loss penalty are evidenced. The results show performance characteristics allowing a reduction in heat transfer surface area of 62% for fixed heat duty and for fixed pumping power compared with that of channel flow without vortex generator. However, adding lovour angle to the vortex generator shows no positive effect on the heat transfer enhancement.

A problem of a unsteady time-dependent flow in a channel is of practical importance and widely considered in the design of devices such as heat exchangers, duct, and electronic equipments. The characteristics of fluid flow in channel with oscillating vortex generator was investigated experimentally. The main object of this study was to investigate the effect of the excited frequency, the excited amplitude, and Reynolds numbers on the generated frequency. Flow patterns were visualized using smoke generator and generated frequencies were measured using hot wire anemometer. When the excited frequency is increased, excited amplitude decreased and Reynolds number increased, the strength of PSD of generated frequency is decreased.

This study carried out numerical analysis of flow field of combustion gas and sorbent to test sorbent efficiency of DSI process. To provide rapid mixing for increase utilization rate of sorbent, streamwise vorticity can be introduced into the flowing streams by other means; for example, by installing vortex generators immediately downstream of the wavy trailing edge. Computing results show that the degree of sorbent dispersion depends strongly on duct structure. Highest dispersion efficiency received when vortex generator was installed inside of duct. The results presented in this study a optimum condition for the development of practical DSI process.

A Problem of low-velocity forced convection in a channel flow with heated wall is of practical importance and widely considered in the design of devices such as heat exchangers, and electronic equipments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for improving heat transfer performance of heated wall in the channel. In the present study, an oscillating vortex generator method is proposed to enhance the heat transfer in a channel. In this method, a rectangular bars are set in the upstream of heated region of the channel. The bars are forced to oscillate normal to the inflow, and then actively and largely generates transverse vortices behind the bars. As a result, this apparatus can enhance the heat transfer rates remarkably. Because of the interaction between the flow and oscillating bars, the variations of the flow and thermal fields become time-dependent state.

In this study the optimization of plate-fin type heat sink with vortex generator for thermal stability is conducted numerically. To acquire the optimal design variables, the CFD and mathematical optimization are integrated. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by means of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. The results show that when the temperature rise is less than 40 K, the optimal design variables are as follows; $B_1=2.584mm$, $B_2=1.741mm$, and t = 7.914 mm. Comparing with the initial design, the temperature rise is reduced by 4.2 K, while the pressure drop is increased by 9.43 Pa. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented between the pressure drop and the temperature rise.

A steady-state Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes simulation was conducted to investigate the distribution of the Reynolds stress tensor inside tip leakage vortex of a linear compressor cascade. Two different inlet flow angles ${\beta}=29.3^{\circ}$(design condition) and $36.5^{\circ}$(off-design condition) at a constant tip clearance size of $1\%$ blade span were considered. Classical methods of solid mechanics, applied to view the Reynolds stress tensor in the principal direction system, clearly showed that the high anisotropic feature of turbulent flow field was dominant at the outer part of tip leakage vortex near the suction side of the blade and endwall flow separation region, whereas a nearly isotropic turbulence was found at the center of tip leakage vortex. There was no significant difference in the anisotropy of the Reynolds normal stresses inside tip leakage vortex between the design and off-design condition.

This study analyzes the flow characteristics and sponge ball recovery performance in a ball strainer according to vortex promoter design variables through flow-particle analysis based on actual experiments to derive a method for improving the recovery rate of cleaning sponge balls of CTCS applied to existing power plants. Based on the ball strainer in CTCS used in the power plant, the experiment was conducted by changing the design factor of the improved shape. In addition, flow and particle analysis were performed under the same conditions as the experiment to numerically the flow characteristics and recovery rate in the ball strainer according to the design factor of the vortex promoter. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the recovery performance was improved by about 3% by changing the design height of the Vortex promoter. And when comparing the difference between maximum and minimum recovery rate, it was found that the effect on the recovery performance increased slightly according to the distance condition compared to the vortex promoter design height condition.

In the present study, the effect of delta-wing vortex generators(DWVG) on the local heat transfer of the plate fin-oval tube was experimentally analyzed for Reynolds numbers for 2000, 2500 and 3200. The local heat transfer coefficient of the fin surface for four type DWVGs was measured by the naphthalene sublimation technique. As the results, the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient at rear of DWVGs showed longitudinal contours for common flow down DWVGs and wavy contours for common flow up DWVGs. The distribution showed many cell type contours at near wall and downstream for all DWVGs. Compared to case without DWVGs in present experimental tests, all DWVGs showed the best enhancement of heat transfer at Re=2000. Of 4 cases of DWVGs, D type showed the best enhancement of heat transfer.

Experimental study on combustion characteristics of double swirl coaxial injectors has been conducted for the assessment of critical injector design parameters. A reusable, unielement thrust chamber has been fabricated with a water-cooled copper nozzle. Two principal design parameters. a swirl angle and a recess length, have been investigated through hot firing tests for the understanding of their effects on high pressure combustion. Clearly, both parameters considerably affect the combustion efficiency, dynamics and hydraulic characteristics of an injector. Internal mixing of propellants in a recess region increases combustion efficiency along with the increase of a pressure drop required for flowing the same amount of mass flow rates. It is concluded that pressure buildup due to flame can be released by the increase of LOx flow axial momentum or the reduction of a recess length. Dynamic pressure measurements of the thrust chamber show varied dynamic behaviors depending on injector configurations.

뇌동맥류는 뇌혈관의 일부가 풍선처럼 부풀어나는 혈관계 질환이며 뇌동맥류의 파열은 사망이나 심각한 후유 장애를 야기한다. 뇌동맥류의 다양한 발생 원인 중 혈관 내부의 혈류의 유동이 중요한 인자로 의심된다. 뇌동맥류의 형성에 미치는 혈류역학적 인자를 규명하기 위해 내경동맥에서 발생한 환자의 내경 동맥류 CT 사진을 이용하여 내경동맥류 모델을 제작하고, 모델 내부의 혈류유동장을 입자영상속도계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 동맥류가 발생한 내경동맥류 모델에서는 동맥류 원위부 목(distal neck)쪽과 반대쪽 내경동맥 벽에서 전단응력이 높게 나타났다. 동맥류 발생에 미치는 혈류역학적 인자를 규명하기 위해 동맥류를 제거한 내경모델을 제작하여 맥동유동에서 내부 유동장을 측정하였다. 심실수축기 동안 휘어진 내경동맥의 바깥쪽 벽에서 혈류의 혈관벽 부딪힘이 관찰되었으며 심실이완기 초반에도 이는 계속 유지되었다. 내경 동맥 내부의 부차적 유동특성을 연구하기 위해 동맥류 발생 위치에서 혈관 축과 수직인 평면의 유동장이 측정되었다. 혈관 단면에서는 휘어진 혈관의 바깥쪽에서 안쪽으로 시계방향의 와류가 형성되었으며, 이로 인해 혈관벽 바깥쪽과 시계방향으로 90도 정도 지역에서 전단응력이 높게 나타났다. 혈류 유동 특성과 동맥류 발생위치를 비교해 보면, 혈류의 혈관벽 부딪힘이 관찰되는 위치와 부차적 유동에 의해 전단응력이 크게 나타난 지역은 동맥류의 발생위치와 일치하였다. 따라서 혈류의 혈관벽 부딪힘과 부차적 유동에 의한 전단력이 동맥류 발생의 혈류역학적 요인으로 의심된다.
