Power consumption for paddle impeller in spherical and cylindrical agitated vessel was measured over a wide range of Reynolds number from laminar to turbulent flow regions. The power correlation was obtained for both spherical and cylindrical vessels, where the apparent diameter of the spherical vessel was equal to the diameter of the cylindrical vessel (height equal to its diameter and had the same volume as the spherical vessel). The power consumption well correlated with the experimental results of Nagata, et al. and Hixson-Baum. Also the critical Reynolds numbers was directly related to the transition coefficient $C_{tr}$ characterizing the transition from a laminar to a turbulent flow region in the correlation proposed here.

The present experimental and numerical investigations are performed on the characteristics of transitional flow in a concentric annulus with a diameter ratio of 0.52, whose outer cylinder is stationary and inner one rotating. The pressure losses and skin-friction coefficients have been measured for the fully devel-oped flow of water and that of 0.2％ CMC-water solution at a inner cylinder rotational speed of 0∼600 rpm, respectively. The transitional flow has been examined by the measurement of pressure losses to reveal the relation of the Reynolds and Rossby numbers with the skin-friction coefficients. The occurrence of transition has been checked by the gradient changes of pressure losses and skin-friction coefficients with respect to the Reynolds numbers. The increasing rate of skin-friction coefficient due to the rotation is uniform for laminar flow regime, whereas it is suddenly reduced for transitional flow regime and, then, it is gradually decreased for turbulent flow regime.

The characteristics of lifted butane flames diluted with nitrogen have been investigated experimentally in order to elucidate the mechanism of individual flame oscillation modes. Flame oscillations in laminar free-jet lift-off flames are classified into the following five regimes: a stabilized lift-off regime (I), a heat-loss-induced oscillation (II), a buoyancy-induced oscillation along with a heat-loss-induced oscillation (III), a combined form of an oscillation prior to blow-out and a heat-loss-induced oscillation (IV), and a combination of an oscillation prior to blow-out and a buoyancy-induced oscillation along with a heat-loss-induced oscillation (V). The characterization of the individual flame oscillations modes are presented and discussed using Strouhal numbers and their relevant parameters by the analysis of the power spectrum for temporal variation of the lift-off height.

This paper presents the calculation methods of liquid release rate in the transition region when hazardous materials leak from the pipeline due to an unwanted accident. For the laminar and turbulent flow region, liquid release rate from a pipeline can be calculated by using a commercial software or by using calculator based on the models(equations) suggested by Crowl and Louvar et al. However, there has been no corresponding model for the transition flow region. In this paper. we showed that the turbulent model may be used as an equation generally used in the transition region for conservative hazard analysis if safety factor $30\%$ is added to the value calculated by the turbulent model. In this regard, we first calculated the release rate from liquid pipeline in the transition region by using experimental data on Fanning friction factor depending on Reynolds number which Lap-Mou Tam et al. had introduced, then compared it with that of the laminar and turbulent models in transition region.

A new semi-empirical average heat transfer correlation applicable for both laminar and turbulent film-wise condensation on a vertical surface has been presented. Re functional form of the present correlation is based on the representative existing correlations for laminar and turbulent film flows, whereas the numerical coefficients of the present correlation have been determined by the least squares method using experimental data obtained from the open literatures. In addition, the performance of the present as well as the seven existing correlations (four for laminar and three for turbulent film flow regimes) were evaluated for their accuracy and the range of application. The result shows that for laminar film filow regimes Zazuli's and the present correlations give the samllest values of mean error, whereas for turbulent film How regimes Kirkbride and Badger's and the present correlations produce the smallest values of mean error.

원심형 임펠러 내부 유로등 큰 곡률을 수반하는 터보기계 요소의 유동해석을 위한 계산코드를 개발하였다. 이 코드에서는 곡선좌표계에 유도된 3차원 비압축성 Navier-Stokes의 운동 방정식을 SMAC 음해법으로 푼다. 이 코드를 이용하여 유로의 단면이 정사각형이고 90도로 굽은 덕트내부의 층류 입구유동을 해석하고, 굽은 관 특유의 유동현상을 수치모사하였다 또한 곡관부 입구에서 충분히 발달한 유동, 또는 발달중인 유동이 유입될 경우에 이것이 곡관부 내부의 유동에 미치는 영향을 상·하류의 계산영역이 서로 다를 몇몇 유동장에 대하여 조사하고, 본 계산에서 얻어진 결과와 실형결과와의 비교로 본 3차원 유동해석 코드의 유효성을 검토 하였다.

임의의 물체가 유체 내에서 운동하거나 정지해 있을 때 유체에 의해서 운동에 방해가 되는 힘을 형상저항이라고 한다. 형상저항은 레이놀즈수에 의한 경계층의 흐름형태에 따라 변화하며, 경계층의 흐름형태는 레이놀즈수가 $10^5$보다 작은 경우 층류로, 그 이상의 경우 난류로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 유체 내에 물체가 정지해 있을 경우 조도에 따른 형상저항의 변화를 알아보기 위해 각기 다른 조도를 가진 실린더를 모델링해 EDISON_CFD을 이용하여 전산 해석을 하였다. 실린더의 표면에 파장의 주기와 진폭, 층류와 난류 영역에서의 항력계수의 변화에 대해 검토하였다.

Vortical systems are considered a main feature to sustain turbulence in a boundary layer through interaction. Such turbulent structures result in frictional drag and erosion or vibration in engineering applications. Research for controlling turbulent flow has been actively carried out, but in order to show the effect of vortices in a turbulent boundary layer, it is necessary to clarify the mechanism by which turbulent energy is transferred. For this purpose, it is convenient to demonstrate and capture phenomena in a laminar boundary layer. Therefore, in this study, the interactions of disturbed flow around a hemisphere on a flat plate in laminar flow were analyzed. In other words, a street of hairpin vortices was generated following a wake region formed after flow separation occurred over a hemisphere. Necklace vortices surrounding the hemisphere also appeared due to a strong adverse pressure gradient that brought high momentum fluid into the wake region thereby leading to an increase in the frequency of hairpin vortices. To mitigate the effect of these necklace vortices, local suction control was applied through a hole in front of the hemisphere. Flow visualization was recorded to qualitatively determine flow modifications, and hot-film measurements quantitatively supported conclusions on how much the power of the hairpin vortices was reduced by local wall suction.

Theoretical consideration on the combustion behavior of nano-aluminum and water mixture was conducted. The regions are divided into; 1)water+aluminum 2)steam+aluminum 3)reaction zone. Latent heat of vaporization was considered as a function of pressure in case of phase change of water. Also, pressure exponent was studied of various sized nano particles within the range of 0.1MPa ~ 10MPa.
