This is a comparative study on applications of finite analytic method (FAM) and finite difference method (FDM) to rectangular smalI basin circulation. To do such a comparison, the circulation model in small rectangular basin is established using FAM and the nurmerical solution from the FAM model is compared with that from the FDM model. As the grid size approaches Von Neumann stablity condition, the convergence time to steady state increases in Askren's model, but does not increase in finite analytic model. Especially in the FAM model, the numerical solution converges stably even in the grid size range beyond the stablity condition whereas that diverges in the FDM model. In the case of large basin Reynolds number, it is found that steady state solution is obtained in the FAM model with smaller calculating steps than those of in the FDM model.

Efficiency and universality which was the spirit of the modern age, had also an enfluence on our living environment. Various types of individual housing unit were developed and mass-produced. However, the exterior space in our city is a place for our social life and intermediate place to connect the private life of each individual to our society. For the people to adapt themselves well to their environment, it should be well organized which means it is clearly divided and integrated in a hierarchical order. To realize these conditions, adequate boundaries to divide each territory and entrances to connect each territory are two essential elements. One of the possible methods to realize these conditions can be found in korean traditional architecture where the exterior space has the same figural quality like buildings and is the center of the whole composition. Buildings, walls and colonnades are the elements to define space. Gates, pavilions, gabs between buildings and posts are the elements to symbolize the entrance connecting each space. Each exterior space is integrated to a whole composition. One is the gradual differentiation along the axis which is unique in korean traditional architecture. The other is the rectangular connection which is also found in the other area in the world. The results of this thesis are as follows. The exterior space in the housing area should have the figural quality. The elements to make boundaries defining exterior space are classified into horizontal elements such as low buildings and walls, and vertical elements such as tower-shape buildings which define space in a different way. The position of openings in a housing block affects the characteristic and openness of a exterior space. Various types of gates are used to decide the relationship between spaces.

Turbine blades and disc, which are one of the most important rotating parts of a gas turbine engine, are required to have highly efficient performance in order to minimize the total life cycle costs. Owing to these requirements, these components are exposed to severe conditions such as extreme turbine inlet temperatures, high compression ratios, and high speeds. To evaluate the structural integrity of a turbine disc under these conditions, material modeling and finite element analysis techniques are essential; furthermore, shape optimization is necessary for determining the optimal solution. This study aims to generate 2D finite element models of an axisymmetry model and a sector one and to perform thermal-structural coupled-field analysis and contact analysis. Structurally vulnerable areas such as the disc bore and disc-blade interface region are analyzed by a parametric study. Finally, an improved design is provided based on the results, and the necessity of elaborate shape optimization is confirmed.

An experimental study of thermal transport from a uniformly heated pipe to a pulsating flow has been carried out. Surface of the pipe is imposed with constant heat flux providing by electric heating band. This problem is of particular interest in the design of Stirling engine heat exchangers and in understanding the blood flow in the aorta. Temporal Variatiens of temperature and pressure inside the circular pipe are measured. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rate on the mean flow rate in the pipe and on the pulsating frequency is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature and pressure become nearly sinusoidal The amplitude of temperature variation near the pipe wall is much more substantial than that in core of the pipe. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the frequency of the pulsating pressure is increased or the mean flow rate in a pipe is increased. The results obtained are also compared with those for non-pulsating flow circumstance.

Flow structure and mixing characteristics in a micro combustor with a multi-hole baffle were numerically studied using the Reynolds stress model. The multi-hole baffle has geometrical features to produce multiple three-dimensional vortices inside combustion chamber. When the thickness of the baffle's geometrical factors changes, variations of vortical structures occur variously. Among these vortices, the vortex generated from the fuel stream exerts a critical influence on the mixing enhancement. The three-dimensional vortical structure, in its development state, was strongly dependent on the baffle thickness. In particular, as the baffle thickness decreases to values less than the diameter of the fuel hole, the jet stream in baffle holes changes from the parabolic to saddleback profile type. The sizes of recirculation zones inside combustion chamber and the mixing state were closely affected by the structure of the jet streams.

This paper presents a numerical analysis of flow inside a water nozzle for fire fighting and observes the effect of the variation in primary components on internal flow. In order to observe the performance of water nozzles, they have been systematically designed and modelled, applying boundary conditions obtained from field experiments (inlet pressure at pump : 4 bar, and pressure outlet : atmospheric pressure). In addition, the governing equations were calculated to obtain velocity, pressure inside the nozzle. Two main parameters (the presence and length of sub-pipes) were considered with the aim to observe the detail internal flow characteristics. It is found that the base model is not significant on flow characteristics, but a negative effect (i. e. the reverse flow) at the entrance region of sub-pipe. On the other hand, the reverse flow was vanished when making the length of sub-pipe double.

This paper presents an echo-hydraulic experimental approach to assessment of ascending capacity of migratory fish in a baffled fishway. Sweetfish, Plecoglossus altivelis, trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, are used in these experiments. Ascending environment of the migratory fish in rivers is analyzed through the results of taco-hydraulic experiments. Important factors affecting the ascending capacity of migratory fish in baffled fishways are the discharge and slope of fishways and the fall height between the fishway entrance and the river bed. In these fishways the migratory capacity of sweetfish for a given fishway discharge is mainly affected by fishway slope, whereas the ascending capacity of trout for a given fishway slope was influenced by the change of fishway discharge. Loss of ascending properties of landlocked salmon, Oncorhynchus masou var ishikawai, was confirmed by these experiments. An ascending hydraulic criteria of the baffled fishway is defined by means of dimensionless factor F$_{f}$ and falling head H$_{f}$. Ascending capacity of migratory fish in existing baffled fishways in river of eastern coastal region is poor because the slope of fishways is verb steep.eep.

A simple Crocco's $n-{\tau}$ time delay model and linear analysis of fluid flow coupled with acoustics are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instability in the combustion chamber of LOX/hydrocarbon engines. The partial differential equation of the velocity potential is separated into ordinary differential equations, and eigenvalues that correspond to tangential resonance modes in the cylindrical chamber are determined. A general solution is obtained by solving the differential equation in the axial direction, and boundary conditions at the injector face and nozzle entrance are applied in order to calculate the chamber admittance. Frequency analysis of the transfer function is used to evaluate the stability of system. Stability margin is determined from the system gain and phase angle for the desired frequency range of 1T mode. The chamber model with variable baffle length and configurations are also considered in order to enhance the 1T mode stability of the combustion chamber.

Although the advance in electronic technology enables a large number of circuity to be packed in a small volume, it is simultaneously required to remove the high heat load produced by them. In this study, the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a mini-channel heat exchanger, which is designed for liquid cooling of electronic components, are investigated by varying operating conditions. Water and FC-72 were used as working fluids. The mini-channel heat exchanger was made with circular shape channels having din-meters of 2, 3, and 4 mm in regular intervals, and the channel length was 100 mm. The header and inlet guide pathway to provide uniform inflow were attached at the inlet of the test section. Copper block including the heaters was attached at the sidewall of the test section as a heat source, which provided the heat flux from 5 to $15W/cm^2$. The entrance effects enhanced the heat transfer coefficient in the mini-channel significantly. In addition, the single-phase pressure drop in the mini-channel was very similar to that predicted by the laminar flow correlation except that the transition Re decreased due to flow instability in the entrance region.

Analysis of conjugated heat transfer has been conducted for the diffuser exposed to hot combustion gas to design the mechanical durability in high temperature. All the heat transfer means, conduction, convection and radiation have been considered to calculate the total heat flux from hot gas to diffuser surface. The calculation has been implemented by two kinds of methods. One thing is one dimensional method based on empirical equations. The other is CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) axisymmetric calculation containing ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST(Shear Stress Transport) turbulent model and DO(Discrete Ordinate) radiation model. The derived results of two methods have compared and showed similar values. From this result, the amount of cooling water and the dimension of water cooling channel were decided.
