The axisymmetric bodies considered in this study have hemispherical and ellipsoidal noses. The near-field pressure fluctuations over each nose model at $Re_D=2.43{\times}10^5$ were investigated in the laminar separation region and developing turbulent boundary layers using a 1/8' pin-holed microphone sensor. The wall pressure fluctuations were also measured in an axisymmetric boundary layer on a cylinder parallel to mean flow at a momentum thickness Reynolds number of 850 and a boundary layer thickness to cylinder radius ratio of 1.88.

Experimental and numerical studies are carried out to investigate flow characteristics around an axisymmetric body with and without a compound propulsor. The effects of a compound propulsor are investigated as measuring the surface pressure distribution and the velocity profiles using LDV system in the cavitation tunnel of KRISO. The incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations are also solved using the finite volume method. The standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is adopted for turbulence closure. In order to calculate propeller-hull interaction, the induced velocity calculated by lifting surface theory is considered as the boundary condition at the propeller plane. The experimental data obtained in this study can provide a useful database for development and validation of CFD code.

In this paper the nonlinear free surface flows for an axisymmetric submerged body oscillating beneath the free surface are solved and the forces acting on the body are calculated. A boundary integral method is applied to solve the axisymmetric boundary value problem and the Runge-Kutta 4-th order method is used for the time stepping of the free surface location. The nonlinear forces acting on the axisymmetric body are computed and compared with published results.

An efficient inverse method for 1.he supersonic/hypersonic axisymmetric body design is developed for the parabolized Navier-Stokes equations. The developed method is examined numerically for three extreme testcases in the supersonic(M/sub ∞/=3.0) and hypersonic(M/sub ∞/=6.28) speeds. The first one is a negative pressure distribution near a vacuum pressure and the second one is a positive pressure distribution over the whole region of the body. The last one is the case of abrupt change of pressure distribution to zero in the forward region of the body. These testcases show the robustness of the method. By introducing a regular-falsi method and by using a not-fully converged inverse solution, the convergence behavior was greatly improved.

When an axisymmetric body moves through air the boundary layer near the stagnation region remains laminar and subsequently it goes through transition to turbulent. The experimental investigation described in this paper concerns the characteristics of wall pressure fluctuations at the initial stage of boundary layer flow including transition. Flush-mounted microphones are used to measure the wall pressure fluctuations at the transition and turbulent boundary layer region of a blunt axisymmetric body in the low noise wind tunnel. It if found from this study that the wall pressure fluctuations in the transition region is higher than that in the turbulent region.

The turbulent wake flow of an axisymmetric body at incidence of $10.1^{\circ}$ is investigated by commericial CFD code, Fluent 6.2. Reynolds stress turbulence model with wall function is applied for the turbulent flow computation. For the grid generation, the Gridgen V15 is used. Numerical predictions are compared with experimental data for the validation. The computed results show goof agreements with the experimental measurements, implying that the CFD analysis is a useful and efficient tool for predicting turbulent flow characteristics of wake field of an axisymmetric body at incidence.

The three dimensional aspects of hydrodynamic impact are discussed. Theoretical and experimental results for a sphere and a cusped body are presented. The cusped body is axisymmetric and resembles the bow profile of a ship with flare. The sphere was subjected to both vertical and oblique impact angles while the cusped body experienced only vertical motion. Three dimensional calculations using normal dipole distributions and an equi-potentioal free surface are compared with experimental results. The theoretical boundary value problem was solved using a known interior flow. This procedure reduced computation times significantly. Comparisons between theory and experiment show that, depending upon the body shape theoretical estimates of the maximum impact force may be larger or smaller than the experimental values. But the theoretical estimate can be used for practical purposes.

The BEM for linear elastic stress analysis is applied to the highly rotating axisymmetric body problem which also involves the thermoelastic effects due to steady-state thermal conduction. The axisymmetric BEM formulation is briefly summarized and an alternative approach for transforming the volume integrals associated with such body force kernels into equivalent boundary integrals is described in a way of using the concept of inner product and vector identity. A discretization scheme for higher order BE is outlined for numerical treatment of the resulting boundary integral equations, and it is consequently illustrated by determining the stress distributions of the turbine rotor disk of the small turbojet engine(ADD 500) for which a FEM stress solution has been furnished by author.

Numerical study is carried out to investigate flow characteristics around an axisymmetric body with and without an integrated propulsor. The incompressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations are also solved using the finite volume method and the standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model for turbulence closure. In order to investigate the propulsor-hull interaction, the induced velocity calculated by surface panel methods is utilized for the boundary condition at the propeller plane. The calculated results are compared to the experimental results. It is considered that the present numerical code can be used for design of an integrated propulsor.
