The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.

A numerical study is made on the ice-formation for a laminar flow in a curved channel. When the water flows through the curved channel with the walls specified below the freezing temperature, the ice layer has been formed on the curved surface, different from that of a straight channel. The fluctuation of ice layer has been predicted, considering the variation of velocity and temperature near the curved portion of channel. The study also takes into account the interaction existing between the laminar flow and the curved channel. In the solution strategy, the present study is substantially different from the existing works in that the complete set of governing equations in both the solid and liquid regions are resolved. The results from this study have been mainly presented, focusing on the variation of ice layer close to the curved portion. Numerical results have been obtained parametrically by varying the curved angle and the radius of curvature of channel, in addition to the variation of Reynolds numbers and wall temperatures of channel. The results show that the curved shape of channel has the great effect on the thickness of the solidification layer. The wave of ice layer thickness appears in the vicinity of curved portion. This behavior of ice layer has been amplified as is the increasing of curved angle and the radius of curvature of channel. In addition, the ice layer becomes thin as Reynolds numbers in increasing. And also, as the wall temperature of channel increases, the width of channel becomes to be shrunk due to the growth of ice layers in the upper and lower wall of channel.

In the continuing quest for increased turbomachinery efficiency, the part played by blade profile shape remains crucial. The application of a heated thin metallic film with CTA(constant temperature anemometer) to the measurements of the laminar and turbulent boundary layer behavior(shock-boundary layer-interaction) in a transonic wind tunnel. Results of measurements with hot-film sensors on transonic compressor blades are extremely difficult to interpret because of ambiguous probe signals due to the complexity of the local flow pattern. In order to get the explicit information and give the designer to interpret characteristic signals from hot-film probes, a method was developed by comparing the results with other measuring technic results.

This study performed numerical simulation to elucidate the characteristics of flow past a rectangular cylinder with various values of the aspect ratio(AR) of the cylinder. We calculated the flow field, force coefficients and Strouhal number of vortex shedding depending on the Reynolds number(Re) and the aspect ratio. The $AR{\approx}1$ is preferred for drag reduction, and 0.375$AR{\approx}0$ is recommended if suppression of the lift-coefficient fluctuation and the shedding frequency is desirable. Furthermore the criticality of the Hopf bifurcation is also reported for each AR.

The purpose of this study is to experimentally research the effects of polymer additives on turbulent transition of Couette flow between concentric cylinders when outer one is rotating and inner one is at rest; the diameter ratio being 0.2. Aqueous polymer solution generate the degradation phenomena in machine forming work, but this is not effected in about 10 minute at 5ppm. aqueous polymer solution testing. The Reynolds number, referred to the gap distance and rotation velocity of the outer cylinder, of turbulent transition is about 20000 for water flow. In the laminer region, the torque value is as same as theoretical one in the region of low Reynolds number, but becomes high with an increase in the Reynolds number. The polymer additives reduce the Reynolds number for turbulent transtition. In the turbulent region, the torque is remarkably reduced by the polymer additives, soluble polymer take down effect of turbulent transition boundary torque.

Laminar separation bubble and transitional flow over the NACA0012 are investigated at a moderate range of Reynolds numbers. A Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code is coupled with an empirical transition model that can predict transition onset points and the length of transition region. Without solving the boundary layer equations, approximated e-N method is directly applied to the RANS code and iteratively solved together. The computational results are compared with the experimental data for the NACA0012 airfoil. Results of transition onset point and the length are compared well with experimental data and Xfoil prediction. The present RANS results show at high angles of attack better agreement with experimental data than Xfoil results using the boundary layer equations.

For the calculation of transonic laminar relative flow fields on the axisymmetric H-S and B-B stream surfaces in turbomachinery, a finite volume method developed in Part (I) is extended. Energy equation is replaced for simplicity by the condition of constant rothalpy throughout the flow fields. For axisymmetric H-S flow the circumferential componets of absolute velocity are given in advance so that this component of momentum equations can be neglected. Some numerical results show good agreement with experimental data.

In the present study, kinetic energy of laminar steady flow in the exit region connected to the square-sectional $180^{\circ}$curved duct was investigated experimentally. The experimental study for air flows was conducted to measure kinetic energy distributions by using the Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) system with the data acquisition and processing system of Cactus 2000 software. The results obtained from experimental studies are summarized as follows : (1) The critical Reynolds number for a change from laminar steady flow to transitional steadt flow was about 1910, in the 50 region of dimensionless axial position (x/Dh) whirh was considered as a fully developed flow region. (2) Maximum kinetic energy of laminar steady flow was gradually increased as the Reynolds number increased.

근래에 들어 축의 고속회전이 요구되고 윤활제로 물이나 액체금속과 같은 동점성계수가 낮은 윤활제가 사용됨에 따라 베어링내의 유동은 층류상태를 벗어난 난류상태에 이르고 있다. 이와같이 고속에서 사용되는 저어널베어링에서의 윤활제의 유동은 더욱 복잡하게 되어 이들에 대한 정확한 특성을 예측하기 위한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 최근에는 열유체윤활에 대한 연구가 행하여지고 있으나 저어널베어링의 온도특성에 대한 실험적 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 그리고 저어널의 하중을 지지하는 유막내의 압력에 대한 실험을 보면 거의 베어링면에서 국부적으로 측정하므로 유막에서 발생하는 압력의 분포를 정확히 알기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 저어널의 중앙단면에 압력계를 부착하여 연속적인 압력분포를 측정하고 베어링내면의 온도분포를 측정하며 편심율과 위상각, 배유량을 측정하여 저어널베어링의 성능특성을 예측하기 위한 실험자료를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.
