채널 내부에 장애물이 존재하는 유동 형태는 다양한 공학적 문제에서 나타나고 있으므로 여러 가지 형상 및 유동 조건에 따른 유동 특성 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 장애물의 형상을 일정한 크기의 원형 실린더로 설정하고 실린더는 위아래 채널 벽 중앙에 위치하도록 하여 2차원 채널 내에 원형 실린더가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 CFD연구를 수행하였다. 실린더와 위아래 채널 벽면과의 거리를 변화시켜 각각의 거리에 대해 유동 재부착 길이, 유동의 주기성, 항력계수 등의 유동 특성을 관찰하였다. 연구결과 각 간격[실린더벽면과 채널벽면간의 거리(G)/실린더지름(d)]이 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 15에 따른 재 부착 지점(Reattachment Length)은 채널 벽면이 실린더로부터 멀어질수록 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 유동 재부착 지점에 수렴해간다는 것을 확인하였다. 즉 거리가 멀어질수록 벽면 영향이 줄어든다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 경우에 대해 항력계수 값을 구하였고, 이를 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 항력계수 값과 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 벽면으로부터의 떨어진 거리가 5부터 벽면의 효과가 줄어들어 10이상이 되었을 때부터 그 영향이 아주 미미하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Measurements of mean velocity and turbulence characteristics are obtained with a linearized constant temperature hot-wire anemometer in a two-dimensional turbulent jet discharging parallel to a flate. Wall static pressure distribution is also measure. The Reynolds number based on the jet nozzle width (D) is about 42,000 and the step height is 2.5D. The reattachment length is found to be 7.5D by using both wool tuft and oil methods. Upstream of the reattachment point, there exist double coherent structures and mean velocity, Reynolds stresses and triple product profiles are asymmetric about jet center line due to the influence of streamline curvature and recirculating flow region. Near the reattachment point, wall static pressure and turbulence quantities change its shape rapidly because of the large eddies by the solid wall. Especially, turbulence intensity has a maximum value in the reattachment regin, then decreases slowly in the redeveloping wall jet ragion. Downstream of X/D=14, a single large scale eddy structure is formed. Far downstream affer the reattachment(X/D.geq.18) mean velocity profile, the decay of maximum velocity and the variation of jet half width are nearly similar to those of plane wall jet, but the Reynolds stresses are higher than those of the latter.

후방계단(backward facting step) 주위의 난류 유동 특성을 수치 해석을 통해 파악하고자 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정도의 유한 차분 기법으로 이산화하였으며 비교차격자계를 사용하여 양해법으로 계산하였다. 난류 모형으로는 이층 모형(two-layer)을 사용하였고 압력 Poisson 방정식을 이용하여 압력과 속도를 연성 시켰다. Re=44,000인 경우에 대해 계산 결과로 부터 후방 계단 뒤의 속도 벡터, 유선, 압력 및 속도 분포, 재부착 길이(reattachment length)등의 실험치와 비교하였다. 본 계산에 사용한 수치 해석 기법은 박리등이 포함된 복잡한 난류 유동 현상을 잘 재현할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal distances between pipes to minimize the pressure loss and turbulent intensity. This was accomplished by investigating the distances between sleeve-jointed pipes and the flow changes in pipes based on variations in the Reynolds (Re) number when installing adjusting pieces for the pipes. When the thickness tp of the sleeve-jointed piping was fixed at 5 mm and the pipe lengths Lp were 10, 50, 100, and 200 mm, the correlations with the velocity of the sleeve-jointed part, pressure distribution, length of the reattachment point in the recirculation area, and Re number were analyzed. The flow characteristic of the sleeve-jointed part from a laminar to a turbulent flow region was determined by setting the Re range to 200 ≤ Re ≤ 5,000. This was done by utilizing Ansys Fluent 18.1, which is a commercial program. The enlargement and contraction ratios of the sleeve-jointed part were 1.2 and 0.83, respectively, and the turbulent intensity of the sleeve downstream edge and pressure change both increased as the Re number increased while Lp remained constant. The fact that the flow on the sleeve wall surface was disturbed by tp resulted in losses in velocity energy. Therefore, the edge of the sleeve-jointed part was also effected. When Lp was 10 mm or less, the turbulent intensity of the edge part did not change significantly as the Re number increased. The reattachment point in the recirculation area did not appear at Lp of 10 mm or less and was not affected by the vortex. In the case of 3,000 ≤ Re, the reattachment length of the wall surface of the sleeve-jointed part was nearly constant as Lp increased.

본 연구에서는 H를 고정하고 L을 변화시켜가며 내부의 유동구조가 어떻게 변하는가를 살펴보고, 특히 재부착이 일어나는 경우에는 급확대 부분만 존재하는 기존 실험결과와 비교분석하여 하류의 급축소부분이 전체 유동구조에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 살펴보고자 한다. 실험에서 사용된 작동유체는 공기이며, 입구관 직경은 110mm, 급확대점과 급축소점사이의 연결부 직경은 220mm, 연결부의 길이는 L=300, 600 그리고 900mm의 3가지를 선택하였으며 기준속도는 입구관의 중심속도로 9.71 m/s이다. 입구직경(110mm)을 기준으로 한 Reynolds 수는 $R_{e}$=73,000 이고 입구관반경과 연결부반경의 차이인 계단높이(H=55mm)를 기준으로 하면 $R_{e=36}$ ,500이다. 연결부 의 급확대부분에서 입구관반경을 기준으로 한 반경확대비는 2이고 급축소부분의 반경 축소비는 1/2이다. 측정항목은 유동방향의 벽면압력분포, 유동방향의 평균속도분포 및 난류강도 등이며, L=900mm인 경우는 반경방향과 원주방향의 난류강도, Reynolds 전단응력도 측정되었다.

An experiment has been carried out to investigate the aerodynamic effect of surface roughness on the characteristics of the turbulent separation and reattaching flow downstream of a backward-facing step. The distributions of boundary layer parameters, forward-flow fraction and turbulent stresses in the region near the reattachment point are measured with a split film sensor. It is demonstrated that the streamwise distributions of the forward-flow fraction in the recirculation and reattachment regions are similar, independent of the roughness. The reattachment length is found to be only weakly affected by the roughness. It is also shown that the velocity profile on the rough surface approaches to that of the equilibrium turbulent boundary layer faster than that on the smooth surface in the redeveloping region after reattachment.

Numerical analysis and measurements of the velocity and temperature distributions in buoyancy assisting laminar mixed convection flow over a vertically located, two-dimensional backward-facing step are reported. Laser-Doppler Velocimeter and Constant Temperature Anemometer operated in constant current were used to measure simultaneously the velocity and temperature distributions in the recirculation region downstream of the step. The reattachment length was measured by using flow visualization technique for different inlet velocities, wall temperatures and step heights. While the reattachment length $X_r$ increases as the inlet velocity or step height increase, it decreases as the buoyancy force increases, causing the size of the recirculation region to decrease. For the experimental range of $Gr_s$/$Re_{s}^{2}$$\times$$10^3$<17, a correlation equation for the reattachment length can be given by $X_{r}=1.05(2.13+0.021 Re_{s})exp$ $(-33.7_s^{-0.186}/Gr_{s}/Re_{s}^2).$ The Nusselt number is found to increase and the location of its maximum value moves closer to the step as the buoyancy force increases. The location of the maximum Nusselt number occurs downstream of the reattachment point, and distance between the reattachment point and the location of the maximum Nusselt mumber increases as the buoyancy force increases. Computational prediction agrees favorably well with measured results.

The wall heat transfer of backward-facing step laminar flows with different Prandtl numbers and a pulsating inlet is investigated by unsteady simulations. The inlet is perturbed by the variation of frequency and amplitude. Temperature-dependent transport properties are adopted. Various characteristics of the wall heat transfer are explained by the variation of the thermal boundary layer. For Pr < 1, the wall heat transfer of temperature-dependent properties is decreased compared to that of constant properties, whereas it increases for Pr < 1. In addition, the wall heat transfer increases depending on the pulsating amplitude. However, the results of frequency variation for St < 0.2 show that the heat transfer is strongly enhanced at a specific frequency. In particular, the increase in the wall heat transfer is strongly related to the root mean square of the fluctuations of the reattachment length.

The present study is aimed to investigate flow characteristics of Two dimensional backward-facing step by numerical approach. A convection conservative difference scheme based upon SOLA algorithm is used for the solution of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to simulate the laminar, transitional and turbulent flow conditions at which the experimental data can be available for the backward-facing step. The twenty kinds of Reynolds number are used for the calculations. In an effort to demonstrate that the reported solutions are dependent on the mesh refinement, computations are performed on seven different meshes of uniformly increasing refinement. Also to investigate the result of inflow dependence, two kinds of the inflow profile are chosen for the laminar flow. As criterion of benchmarking the result of numerical simulation, reattachment length is used for the selected Reynolds numbers.

Turbulent flow and combustion characteristics in a micro can combustor with a baffle plate are investigated by a Reynolds Stress Model. In order to examine the geometric effects on the turbulent combusting flow, several baffle configurations are selected. The interrelation between the flow structure and the thermal field are investigated by examing the variation of recirculation region, flame length and heat loss. For the flow mixing, the decreasing air hole is more efficient than the decrease of the fuel hole. As the fuel or air hole diameter decreases, combustion efficiency is enhanced and flame length is decreased. Additionally, as the diameter of air hole decreases, the heat loss and combustion temperature are increased, while they are reduced with decreasing the diameter of fuel hole.
