In this study, the effect of an unsteady flow field around a body of aerostatic/aerodynamic forces were investigated using rectangular cylinders (B/D = 2, 3, 4, 5). Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) was introduced to the analysis of the fluctuating pressure field that was measured on the stationary/oscillatory B/D=4 rectangular cylinder, and the characteristics of the proper functions with flow patterns were identified. In addition, the physical decoupling and interactions in the different co-existing flow patterns were investigated through POD. The comparison with the identified proper function associated with a particular flow pattern revealed that the Karman vortex is almost not affected by the separation bubble, but that the Karman vortex considerably interferes in the development of the separation bubble around the trailing edge. It can be considered that the Karman vortex induces the increment of the curvature of the substantial separated flow.

This study focuses on illustrating the effect of a hill on current filed at a channel, and the topographic effects of the hill were studied with various numerical experiments. The model experiments showed that stratification as well as bottom topography had influence on current fields around the hill. Due to stratification effect, Karman vortex formed behind the hill by bottom topography made effects on water movement only in the deep layer. The vortex reduced density field around the hill which resulted in the stratification in the water column, and which also resulted in the movement of isopycnic surface to deep layer both in front and back of the hill. The water in the back of the hill moved upward along ispycnic surface afterward. From these effects, velocity pattern in vertical direction around the hill showed opposite direction, downwrad in front of the hill and upward in the back. However, the upward flows did not seem to have any significant influence on the water conditions in the surface layer, even though strong upward flows were found on both side of the hill.

Flow induced vibration in a heat exchanger may cause damage to piping. The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of vortex shedding behavior through the circular tube banks at several tube locations, No.1, No. 10, and No. 19, with respect to time when the flow velocity of the inlet is constantly and periodically fluctuating.(60) The time characteristics of lift and the PSD characteristics were also investigated. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, strong vortex occurred at some time and after that time, a weak vortex was generated through the tube banks simultaneously. In the case of constant inlet flow velocity, the lift fluctuating frequency was 37.25Hz and that at the No. 19 tube was 18.63Hz and near 50Hz. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, the lift fluctuating frequency was 37.25Hz and 18.63Hz. The lift fluctuating frequency at No. 19 tube was observed broadly from 20Hz and 50Hz.

In this study, the vorticity distribution and the temperature distribution change around a circular cylinder were compared and analyzed with time for constant inlet velocity and periodic inlet velocity. Also, the frequency characteristics of the flow were analyzed by analyzing the time variation of lift and drag and their PSD(power spectral density). In the case of constant inlet velocity, the well known Karman vorticity distribution was shown, and vortices were alternately generated at the upper and lower sides of the circular cylinder. In case of periodic inlet velocity, it was observed that vortex occurred simultaneously in the upper and lower sides of the circular cylinder. In both cases, it was confirmed that the time dependent temperature distribution changes almost the same behavior as the vorticity distribution. For the constant inlet velocity, the vortex flow frequency is 31.15 Hz, and for the periodic inlet velocity, the vortex flow frequency is equal to the preriodic inlet velocity at 15.57 Hz. The mean surface Nusselt number was 99.6 for the constant inlet velocity and 110.7 for the periodic inlet velocity, which showed 11.1% increase in surface heat transfer.

The flow-induced vibration in a heat exchanger may cause the damage to piping. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the flow induced vibration characteristics for the structural stability of a heat exchanger. The purpose of this study was to compare the generation, development, and separation characteristics of a vortex around a circular tube with respect to time when the flow velocity of the inlet was fluctuating constantly and periodically. The time characteristics of lift and drag and the PSD characteristics were also investigated. In the case of a constant inlet flow velocity, the well-known Kalman vorticity distribution was shown. The vortex generation, growth, and separation were also observed alternately at the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of periodic inlet flow velocity, the vortex occurred simultaneously in the upper and lower sides of the tube. In the case of constant inlet flow velocity, the magnitude of the lift PSD was 500 times larger than that of drag. The frequency was 31.15 Hz and that of drag was doubled at 62.3 Hz. In case of a periodic inlet flow velocity, the PSD of the drag was approximately 500 times larger than that of lift. The frequency was 15.57 Hz, which was the same as the inlet-flow velocity frequency. In addition, the frequency of lift was 31.15 Hz, which was the same Karman vortex frequency.

The change of the vorticity and the temperature distribution in heat exchanger tube bank were analyzed for the flows with the constant inlet velocity and the sinusoidal inlet velocity. The flow frequency characteristics were examined by analyzing power spectral density of lift and drag at a typical circular tube in the tube bank. Karman vortex street could be seen at the upstream region of tube bank for the case of constant inlet velocity. It could be seen that the Karman vortex street was affected by the change of inlet velocity near the circular tubes for the case with the sinusoidal inlet velocity. It was observed that the unsteady temperature distributions for both inlet velocity conditions had almost the same motion as the flow vorticity behavior. The flow frequency for the case with the constant inlet velocity is 37.25Hz, and that with the sinusoidal inlet velocity, the flow frequency is 18.63Hz, which is equal to the sinusoidal inlet velocity. The mean surface Nusselt number(Nu) for overall heat exchanger tube bank was 1051 for the case with the constant inlet velocity and 1117 for the case with the sinusoidal inlet velocity. From the result of heat transfer analysis, it could be seen that Nu with the sinusoidal inlet velocity showed 6.3% increase than that with the constant inlet velocity.

An experimental study has been made to investigate the effect on wake flow and vortex shedding frequency by vortex stabilizer in Karman vortex type air flow sensor. The conditions investigated include 3 types of shapes and 3 types of separation distances of the vortex stabilizer. The phase averaged technique and smoke-wire flow visualization method are used to understand the detail information. The rolling up position of shear layer is fixed by the influence of the vortex stabilizer. Especially, the convex type vortex stabilizer has shown the more stable repeatability and linearity regarding the vortex shedding frequency compared to the other types.

Numerical analysis has the advantage that no actual flow pathways need to be formulated, making this technique especially useful for simulation analysis such as pathway design. However, it does require that the complete physical parameters of the fluid and the complete boundary conditions be known. If any of them are unknown, either the calculation will become impossible, or even if the calculation does converge, the reliability of the result will be low. Therefore, a means of more accurate acquisition of flow information is required. In this paper, we present techniques for estimating flow field from a constraint equation for image information and velocity field, based on the image intensity changes accompanying the motion of dye in waterway. In the equation, we entered a stabilizing term to suppress estimation error. We show the effectiveness of our method through experiments with generated and real images of a Karman vortex.
