A vortex chamber is a simple device that separates compressed gas into a high-temperature stream and a low-temperature stream. It is increasing in popularity as a next-generation heat exchanger, but the flow physics associated with it is not yet well understood. In the present study, both experimental and numerical analyses were performed to investigate the temperature separation phenomenon inside the vortex chamber. Static pressures and temperatures were measured using high-sensitivity pressure transducers and thermocouples, respectively. Computational fluid dynamics was applied to simulate 3D unsteady compressible flows. The simulation results showed that the temperature separation is strongly dependent on the diameter of the vortex chamber and the supply pressure at the inlet ports, where the latter is closely related to the viscous work. The previous concept of a pressure gradient wave may not be a reasoning for temperature separation phenomenon inside the vortex chamber.

A breaking-wave caused by a cylinder moving under the free-surface is studied, which is designed to unveil the interaction between breaker and cylinder using PIV at CWC. The detailed structures of the vortical flow is obtained from the velocity field measured by PIV technique. The vorticity distribution behind the breaker and originated from the breaker. It has been obvious that the vortices from breaker greatly affect the whole wake field at S/D=1. Certainly PIV was confirmed to be a very versatile means to investigate the complex flow fields such as breaking wave.

In this study, laboratory experiments are conducted to investigate flow-fields around floating breakwaters by using the LDV(Laser Doppler Velocimetry) system. The LDV system is a well-known equipment to measure fluid particle velocities in laboratory experiments. Although the system requires great efforts and enormous time for measurements, it can provide precise velocity fields comparing to other available equipments. Various types of drafts and shapes for breakwaters are employed in laboratory experiments to analyze a relation between flow-fields and vorticity. A series of numerical experiments are also carried out by using a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations model. Numerically predicted results are compared with laboratory measurements.

Unsteady vortex shedding behind a rectangular cylinder near a wall influences both increasing of drag and dynamic stability of heavy vehicle, bridge or building. Incompressible Averaged Navier-Stokes equation with modified ${\varepsilon}-SST$ turbulence model is adapted for investigating the flow field between the rectangular cylinder and the wall. In case the vortex shedding happens, not only the averaged maximum velocity is higher than other cases, but the position of the maximum velocity is closer to the lower surface of rectangular cylinder. On this study, it is confirmed that the vortex shedding behind a rectangular cylinder can be suppressed by the passive control method added by horizontal and vertical fences to the lower surface of rectangular cylinder.

본 연구에서는 30000rpm으로 회전하는 진공청소기 원심팬의 유동장을 임펠러, 디퓨저, 케이싱을 모두 고려하여 해석하였다. 또한 삼차원으로 배출되는 출구를 간단한 sink 패널로 모델하여 출구의 효과를 충분히 고려하였다. 해석된 유동장 자료를 이용하여 먼 거리에서의 음압을 예측하였다. 예측된 음압자료는 FFT를 이용하여 측정된 값과 주파수 영역에서 비교하였다. 또한 진공청소기 원심팬의 측정자료에서 보이는 광역소음특성이 임펠러에서 흘려지는 후류와류의 교란에 의한 임펠러와 디퓨저 깃의 비정상 힘이 주된 원인임을 밝혔다.

Three-dimensional models of stenosis blood vessels were prepared using a 3D printer. The models included a straight pipe with axisymmetric stenosis and a pipe that was bent $10^{\circ}$ from the center of stenosis. A refractive index matching method was utilized to measure accurate velocity fields inside the 3D tubes. Three different pulsatile flows were generated and controlled by changing the rotational speed frequency of the peristaltic pump. Unsteady velocity fields were measured by a time-resolved particle image velocimetry method. Periodic shedding of vortices occurred and moves depended on the maximum velocity region. The sizes and the positions of the vortices and symmetry are influenced by mean Reynolds number and tube geometry. In the case of the bent pipe, a recirculation zone observed at the post-stenosis could explain the possibility of blood clot formation and blood clot adhesion in view of hemodynamics.

The cryogenic nitrogen spray of a swirl injector has been numerically investigated using three dimensional LES turbulence model to analyze the dynamic characteristics under supercritical condition. To predict the precise nitrogen properties under supercritical condition, SRK equation of state, Chung's method for viscosity and thermal conductivity and Takahashi's correlation based on Fuller's theory for diffusion coefficient are implemented. The complex flow structures due to interaction between flow field and acoustic field are observed inside and outside the injector under supercritical condition. FFT, POD, and DMD techniques are employed to understand the coherent structures. By implementing the FFT, the dominant frequencies are identified inside and outside the injector. The coherent flow structures related to the dominant frequencies are visualized using the POD and DMD techniques. In addition, the DMD provides the damping coefficient which is related with the instability prediction.

최근 이상기후로 집중호우와 강우패턴이 변화하고 있다. 하지만 변화하는 환경을 고려하지 않은 내배수시설 설계로 내수 침수 피해가 증가하여 인명 및 재산 피해가 급증하고 있다. 이에 도시지역의 내수침수에 대한 대책으로 재내지의 초과 우수를 하천으로 강제 배수시키기 위한 빗물펌프장의 역할이 점점 중요해지고 있다. 도심지역의 집중호우에 대응하기 위해서는 빗물펌프장의 목표 배수량을 실제 배수할 수 있는지에 대한 여부가 도시지역의 내수침수를 효율적으로 방어하는데 있어 중요한 요소가 될 것이다. 하지만 현재 빗물펌프장의 설계 시 펌프 흡입부 내 흐름특성을 고려하지 못하고 있어 펌프의 효율에 대한 불확실성이 큰 것이 사실이다. 따라서 펌프 가동 시 흡입부 주변의 흐름특성에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 기존 펌프 흡입부의 실험적 연구에서는 색소를 이용한 vortex의 생성 위치 및 경향을 정성적으로 파악하거나 ADV등의 유속계를 이용하여 흡입부 주변의 흐름특성을 지점별로 분석하는 연구들이 수행되었다. 하지만 빗물펌프장의 펌프 흡입부 주변의 흐름은 펌프 가동에 따라 매우 복잡한 와류가 발생하기 때문에 이를 방지하기 위해서는 정량적인 유속장 분석이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 비접촉식 유속 측정이 가능하고 유속장 측정이 가능하다는 장점을 갖고 있는 입자영상유속계(PIV: Particle Image Velocimetry)를 이용하여 펌프 흡입부 주변의 흐름특성을 분석하였다. 펌프 흡입부의 흐름특성을 분석한 결과 흡입관 내 유속분포의 편중 현상에 접근유속의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 흡입유속에 비해 접근유속이 빠른 경우 흡입관 내 유속분포는 상류측에서 횡방향 와류가 발생하여 흡입에 방해가 되는 것을 확인하였고, 하류측으로는 흡입 방향으로 유속이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 펌프 흡입관내 상류측부분의 와류를 감소시키기 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This paper is concerned with instability of flow fields which are dominated by the entropy mode with the presence of usual acoustic and vortical modes. These combined modes lead to nonlinear unstable waves which may occur in automobile, aircraft, or rocket engines. In this study instability in a side-burning rocket is investigated. It is shown that the energy growth rate parameters increase with an increase of the energy growth factor. The energy growth rate parameters for turbulent flows are larger than those for laminar flows. It is further shown that unstable wave motions for the high-temperature side-burning rocket are dictated mostly by the entropy mode, somewhat by the vortical mode, and least by the acoustic mode.

Swirling flows inside a swirl mixing chamber are investigated for simple configuration where swirl is produced by a tangential entry type swirl generator. The flow downstream of the swirl generator has been quantified by measurements two velocity components and their corresponding mean values along axial and radial direction using Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). The mass flow rate of the tangential entry is increased in order to study their effect on the flow field. From the measurement profile of velocity and vorticity, flow mixing characteristics in a swirl mixing chamber are evaluated.
