This paper investigates the impacts of the drag-related weighting coefficients on mean velocity and turbulence structures. The transport equations for the Reynolds stress of vegetated open-channel flows are derived by using the temporal- and horizontal-averaging scheme. It is found that the total Reynolds stress of vegetated open channel flows consists of the Reynolds stress due to temporally fluctuating velocities and the Reynolds stress due to spatially fluctuating velocities. The drag-related weighting coefficient $C_{fk}$ for the total Reynolds stress component is found to be unit, while the coefficient for the Reynolds stress due to temporally fluctuating velocities can be negligible. This is the reason why very small weighting coefficients in previous studies yield very good agreements with measured data. In other words, the Reynolds stress due to spatially fluctuating velocities remains still unknown, especially due to the large number of measuring locations. Through a developed Reynolds stress model, vegetated open-channel flows are simulated and compared with measured data from the literature. Comparisons reveal that the computed mean flow and Reynolds stress structures are hardly affected by the drag-related weighting coefficients. However, the computed turbulence intensity profiles are significant different with the drag-related weighting coefficients. A budget analysis of the transport equations for the Reynolds stress component is carried to investigate why turbulence intensity is affected by the drag-related weighting coefficients.

Fluid flow through rock fractures has been quantified using equations such as Stokes equations, Reynolds equation (or local cubic law), cubic law, etc. derived from the Navier-Stokes equations under the assumption that linear flow prevails. Therefore, these simplified equations are limited to linear flow regime, and cause errors in nonlinear flow regime. In this study, causal mechanism of nonlinear flow and critical Reynolds number were presented by carrying out fluid flow modeling with both the Navier-Stokes equations and the Stokes equations for a three-dimensional rough-walled rock fracture. This study showed that flow regimes changed from linear to nonlinear at the Reynolds number greater than 10. This is because the inertial forces, proportional to the square of the fluid velocity, increased enough to overwhelm the viscous forces. This tendency was also shown for the unmated (slightly sheared) rock fracture. It was found that nonlinear flow was caused by the rapid increase in the inertial forces with increasing fluid velocity, not by the growing eddies that have been ascribed to nonlinear flow.

In this paper the dynamic characteristics of self acting air lubricated slider bearing of hard disk/head system are investigated. The dynamic equations of magnetic head mechanism considering both parallel and pitch motion and the time dependent modified Reynolds equation are analyzed and the dynamic pressure distribution of air film is numerically calculated in frequency domain by small perturbation method and finite difference scheme with variable grid. The dynamic response of the slider spacing is obtained accordingly as the moving recording surface vibrates in parallel mode.

This study presents a numerical modeling of mean flow and turbulence structures of partly-vegetated open-channel flows. For this, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with vegetation drag terms are solved numerically using the non-linear k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical model is applied to laboratory experiments of Nezu and Onitsuka (2001), and simulated results are compared with data from measurement and computations by Kang and Choi's (2006) Reynolds stress model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed numerical model simulates the mean flow well. Twin vortices are found to be generated at the interface between vegetated and non-vegetated zones, where turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress show their maximums. The model simulates the pattern of the Reynolds stress well but under-predicts the intensity of Reynolds stress slightly.

본 연구에서는 개수로 흐름에서의 오염물질 거동 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 개수로 흐름을 등류상태로 가정하여 3차원의 수직모형을 구성하고 운동량 방정식과 스칼라 수송방정식에서의 난류 폐합을 위해 레이놀즈응력 모형 및 GGDH 모형을 사용하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 복단면 수로에서 오염물질이 점으로 주입된 경우에 대해 난류 흐름 및 오염물질의 농도 분포를 수치모의 하고 기존의 실험 데이터와 비교하였다. 그 결과 개발된 모형이 개수로 흐름에서의 평균유속 및 난류구조, 오염물질의 농도 분포 등을 잘 모의하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 이차흐름의 영향으로 인해 최대 농도 값의 위치가 거리에 따라 이동하는 것으로 나타났으며, 농도 분포 역시 정규분포에서 거리에 따라 점차 왜곡되는 것으로 확인되었다.

This paper presents a turbulence modeling of the open-channel flows over smooth-rough bed strips. A Reynolds stress model is used for the turbulence closure. The simulated mean flow and turbulence structures are compared with the previously reported experimental data. Comparisons reveal that the developed Reynolds stress model successfully predicts the mean flow and turbulence structures of open-channel flows over smooth-rough bed strips. The computed flow vectors show cellular secondary currents, of which the upflow occurs over the smooth bed strip and the downflow over the rough bed strip. It is found that the cellular secondary currents affect the mean flow and turbulence structure. A budget analysis of the streamwise vorticity equation is also carried out to investigate the mechanism by which the secondary currents are generated.

레이놀즈 분해법은 유속을 비롯한 변수를 평균 성분과 변동 성분으로 분해하는 분석 방법으로, 난류 분석의 기본이 되는 방법이다. 그러나 유체 내에 장애물이 존재할 경우, 흐름에 큰 와류가 존재하여 난류 변동 성분과 구분되는 고유 구조가 형성되는데, 이러한 경우에 레이놀즈 분해법을 적용하면 고유 구조의 변동 성분이 난류로 처리되어 난류 강도가 과다하게 책정될 수 있다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 제안된 것이, 변수를 평균 성분, 파동 성분, 변동 성분으로 분해하는 삼중 분해법이다. 삼중 분해법은 흐름 내의 고유 구조를 추출하는 것을 가능하게 하여 다양한 연구에서 사용되어왔다. 삼중 분해법을 구현하기 위해 이용되는 방법론 중 하나로, 공분산 행렬을 이용하여 유속장을 분해하는 방법인 적합 직교 분해법이 많이 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 원기둥 후류에 적합 직교 분해법을 사용하여 삼중 분해법을 시행하고, 후류의 흐름 구조를 분석하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 영상 유속계를 사용하여 실험을 통해 원기둥 후류의 수평 유속장을 측정하였고, 측정 자료에 적합 직교 분해법을 적용한 결과, 첫 두 모드에서 큰 규모의 와류가 파동 형태로 전파되는 것이 관찰되어 고유 구조의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 해당 성분을 삼중 분해법의 파동 성분으로 상정하였고, 푸리에 분석을 적용한 결과에서도 원기둥 후류의 고유 진동수가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 원기둥 후류의 에너지 전달 구조를 확인하기 위하여 에너지 방정식에 삼중 분해법을 적용하여 식을 유도하고, 실험 자료로부터 각 항을 계산하여 비교해보았다.

In this study, stator shroud injection in a single-stage transonic axial compressor is proposed. A parametric study of the effect of stator shroud injection on aerodynamic performances was conducted using the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The curvature, length, width, and circumferential angle of the stator shroud injector and the air injection mass flow rate were selected as the test parameters. The results of the parametric study show that the aerodynamic performances of the single-stage transonic axial compressor were improved by stator shroud injection. The aerodynamic performances were the most sensitive to the injection mass flow rate. Further, the total pressure ratio and adiabatic efficiency were the maximum when the ratio of circumferential angle was 10％.

식생된 개수로에서 식생의 영향을 파악하기 위해 k-$\in$ 난류 모형을 이용하여 수치모의를 하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 항력항을 추가한 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, 지배방정식을 해석하기 위하여 유한체적법을 사용하였다. 수치모의에서 구한 식생된 개수로의 흐름구조를 기존의 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있다. 난류의 생성과 소멸을 수치모의한 결과, 부분구간 식생된 경우 식생높이 보다 낮은 구간에서는 후류에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적이며, 식생높이보다 높은 구간에서는 주로 마찰에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적임을 보였다. 기존의 연구들은 식생의 영향을 고려하여 개수로의 흐름을 연구한 예는 드물며, 현재까지 진행되어진 국내의 연구는 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서의 흐름 구조를 모의하였다. 따라서 난류흐름을 모의하는데 가장 보편적인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서 수직방향으로의 흐름구조와 식생의 영향을 해석하는 것은 그 자체로도 의미 있는 연구이며, 앞으로의 환경수리 문제를 해결하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 식생된 개수로에서의 난류구조와 부유사 이동에 대한 식생의 영향을 비정상 1차원 수직모형으로 해석하였으며, 폐합문제를 위해 2-방정식인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 사용하였다. k-$\in$ 난류모형에 식생에 의한 항력항을 더하여 지배방정식을 구성하였다. 수직방향에 대해 흐름방향 유속 u, 난류에너지 k, 그리고 난류에너지 소산율 $\in$의 분포를 구하고, 부유사에 대한 수송방정식을 풀었다. 식생된 개수로와 식생되지 않은 개수로에서의 유속분포, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력 분포와 난류의 생성과 소멸을 구하여 식생이 난류흐름에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the impact of the secondary currents on solute transport in open-channel flows. The RANS model with Reynolds stress model is used for flow modeling, and the GGDH(generalized gradient diffusion hypothesis) model is used to close the scalar transport equation. Using the developed model, the impact of secondary currents on solute transport in open channel flows over smooth-rough strip is investigated. Through numerical experiments, the secondary currents are found to affect the solute spreading, leading a movement of the position of the peak concentration and a skewed distribution of solute concentration. Due to the lateral flow of secondary currents near the free surface, the concentration at the rough strip is found to be larger than that at the smooth strip bed. The solute at the rough strip is more rapidly transported than smooth bed. A magnitude analysis of the solute transport rate in scalar transport equation is also carried out to investigate the effect of secondary currents and scalar flux on the concentration distribution.
