Turbochargers are an effective device to reduce the fuel consumption. In this study, the mass flow rate of pulsating flow in the twin-scroll turbocharger for the gasoline engine of passenger vehicles was measured. Pulsating flow was achieved using a pulse generator and the mass flow rate of the unsteady pulsating flow was analyzed by comparing it with those of the steady flow. The pulse generator consisted of a rotating upper plate and a fixed lower plate. To measure the mass flow rate of unsteady flow, the orifice flow meter equipped with the difference pressure transducer was used. To analyze the low speed performance of the turbocharger, the measurement was carried out in the speed of turbocharger from 60,000rpm to 100,000rpm. The mass flow parameters of the unsteady pulsating flow showed a large difference compared to those of the steady flow. Those of the unsteady flow showed the hysteresis loop surrounding the mass flow parameters of the steady flow and the maximum variation of the mass flow parameters were 5.0 times those of the steady flow. This phenomenon is the result of the filling and emptying the turbine volute space due to pulsating flow.

본 연구에서는 2 차원 벽구동 캐비티 유동에 의하여 나타나는 이력효과에 의한 분기(Bifurcation)현상을 전산유체기법을 사용하여 연구하였다. 캐비티는 북쪽과 동쪽벽이 움직일 수 있고, 다른 두 벽은 고정되어있는 구조이다. 실험은 Reynolds 수 100 에서 1000까지 증가시켜가면서 북쪽벽과 동쪽벽을 동시에 가속 시켜 정상상태에 이르게 한 경우와 북쪽벽이 먼저 가속되어 정상해에 이른 후 동쪽벽을 나중에 가속하여 재차 정상상태에 이르게 한 경우를 비교하였다. 그 결과 Reynolds수가 약 200이상부터 벽에 작용하는 항력, 유량함수의 값, 재부착점등이 분기현상을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the uniform straight pipelines conveying internal unsteady fluid flow. The spectral element matrix is formulated by using the exact frequency-domain solutions of the pipe-dynamics equations. The spectral element dynamic analysis is then conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the present spectral element model and to investigate the vibration characteristics and internal fluid characteristics of an example pipeline system.

Experimental and computational study for steady-state pintle driven nozzle throat flow are carried out by changing four pintle shape. Results show that thruster performance is influenced by pintle shape greatly. This attributes to the distorted throat area and chamber pressure change as the pintle shape and its penetration.

The flow mixing characteristics for the heated dual jets were numerically studied by using URANS (unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes). The increased turbulent diffusion was obtained for the compressible flow, and the thermal diffusion of incompressible flow increased more than that of compressible flow. From the results of FFT and phase portraits, periodic and quasi-periodic states were observed as the jet spacing increased. It was observed that linear variations of merging points and combined points were different because unsteady flow determined the flow mixing characteristics for a large jet spacing.

In this study, a steady and unsteady aerodynamic analysis program using a 3-dimensional subsonic unstructured panel method is developed and verified. Surfaces of bodies are modeled with the source and doublet distributions on triangular or quadrilateral panels. Geometry modeling of complex geometries and multi-body, therefore, can be easily accomplished. The Kelvin theory and the unsteady Kutta condition allow the doublet strength of the wake panels determined for unsteady flows. Various steady and unsteady flows in two and three dimensions are computed and compared with the analytical and the published computational results.

The present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of a new passive cavity flow control technique, sub-cavity. The characteristics of cavity flow oscillation with the device are compared with those with other control techniques tested previously, including a triangular bump and blowing jet. In the computation, the three-dimensional, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations governing the supersonic cavity flow are solved based on an implicit finite volume scheme spatially and multi-stage Runge-Kutta scheme temporally. Large eddy simulation (LES) is carried out to properly predict the turbulent features of cavity flow. The present results show that the pressure oscillation near the downstream edge dominates overall time-dependent cavity pressure variations, and the amplitude of the pressure oscillation can be reduced in the presence of a sub-cavity.

The characteristics of flows, temperatures, concentrations of the boron are numerically studied when uniform axial magnetic fields are applied in the Czechralski crucible. The to governing factors to the flow regimes are buoyancy, thermocapillarity, centrifugal forces, magnetic forces, diffusion coefficient and segregation coefficient of the boron. Since the concentration of the boron is so low that buoyancy effects are negligible, it cannot affect the flow and temperature fields. From the fact that the flow fields are rotationally symmetric, two velocity components in the meridional plane and the circumferential velocity are calculated together with the temperature in the steady state. Based on the known velocity and temperature distributions the unsteady concentration distributions of the boron are calculated. As the strength of the magnetic is increased, the flow velocities are decreased. Circumferential velocities are large near the crucible side-wall and in the region below the rotating crystal. Steep temperatures gradient near the edge of the rotating crystal causes the Marangoni convection. It has been found out that the convection characteristics affects the unsteady transport phenomena of the boron.

The swirl ratio in a SI engine is investigated in a steady flow bench according to the measurement methods: an impulse swirl meter and particle image velocimetry (PIV). When measuring the swirl ratio using the PIV, the torque is evaluated based on the cylinder center and swirl center, respectively. The position of the measurement plane is considered. As a result, in the upstream, the swirl ratio measured by the impulse swirl meter is estimated to be larger than that from the PIV measurements due to the unstable vortex motions. Regarding the PIV measurements, the swirl ratio based on the cylinder center has been found to be lower than that based on the swirl center. On the other hand, the difference in swirl ratio has decreased smaller as the measurement plane moved downstream due to the stabilization of the vortex motion.

The conventional numerical models to analyze flow in subsurface porous media under the transient state usually generate numerical oscillation and unstability due to local flux domain for critical cases such as infiltration into initially dry soil during rainfall period. In this case, it is required refined mesh and small time step, but it decrease efficiency of computation. In this study, numerical unstability in discontinuity domain is removed by applying particle tracking algorithm to simulate unsteady subsurface flow with inflow boundary condition. Finally the hybrid LE FEM improving numerical stability is proposed. The hypothetical domains with unsteady uniform and nonuniform flow field were used to demonstrated algorithm verification. In comparison with analytic solution, we obtained reasonable results and conducted simulation of hypothetical 3-D recharge/pumping area. The proposed algorithm can simulate saturated/unsaturated porous media with more practical problems and will greatly contribute to accuracy and stability of numerical computation.
