  • In order to simulate a smoke or poisonous gas emergency in a rectangular tunnel and to investigate a better way to exhaust the smoke, the characteristics of smoke flow have been analyzed using flow field data acquired by Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). Olive oil has been used as tracer particles with the kinematic viscosity of air, $1.51{\times}10^{-5}\;m^2/s$. The investigation has done in the range of Reynolds number of 1600 to 5333 due to the inlet velocities of 0.3 m/s to 1 m/s respectively. The average velocity vector and instantaneous kinematic energy fields with respect to the three different Reynolds numbers are comparatively discussed by the Flow Manager. In general, the smoke flow becomes more disorderly and turbulent with the increase of Reynolds number. Kinematic energy in the measured region increases with the increase of Reynolds number while decreasing at the leeward direction about the outlet region.

  • In this Paper, a fuel minimizing closed loop explicit inertial guidance algorithm for orbit injection of a rocket is developed. In the formulation, the fuel burning rate and magnitude of thrust are assumed constant. The motion of rocket is assumed to be subject to the average inverse-square gravity, but negligible effects from atmosphere. The optimum thrust angle to obtain a given velocity vector in the shortest time with minimizing fuel consumption is first determined, and then the additive thrust angle for targeting the final position vector is determined by using Pontryagin's maximum principle. To establish real time processing, many algorithms of onboard guidance software are simplified. The explicit guidance algorithm is simulated on the 2nd-stage flight of the N-1 rocket developed in Japan. The results show that the explicit guidance algorithm works well in the presence of the maximum $\pm$10% initial velocity and altitude errors, and exhibits better performance than the open-loop program guidance. The effects of the guidance cycle time are also examined.

  • The objective of this study is to investigate flow behaviors of polluted air in order to prevent the impact of disaster in a tunnel. This paper presents the experimental results qualitatively in terms of flow characteristics in two kinds of rectangular tunnel models in which each distance from the centerline above the inlet vent to the exhaust vent is 0 and 60 mm, respectively. The olive oil is used as the tracer particles. The flow is tested at the flow rate of $14.16{\times}10^{-4}\;m^3/s$ and the inlet vent velocity of 1.1 m/s with the kinematic viscosity of air. The aspect ratio of the model test section is 10. The average velocity vectors, streamlines, and vorticity distributions are measured and analyzed by the Flow Manager in a particle image velocimetry(PIV) system. The PIV technology gives three different velocity distributions according to observational points of view for understanding the polluted air flow characteristics. The maximum value of mean velocity generally occurs in the inlet and outlet vent regions in the tunnel models.

  • Turbulent coherent structures in the intermediate wake of a stationary and rotating cylinder, spin rate S=0.7, situated in a uniform were experimentally investigated using a conditionalphase average technique. Measurements were carried out at a section of 8.5 diameters downstream form the center of cylinder and a Reynolds number of $Re=6.5{\times}10^{3}.$/TEX> The phase averaged velocity and velocity vector fields, contours of vorticity, turbulent intermittency function and velocity fluctuation energy are presented and discussed in relation to the large scale coherent structures by Karman vortices that shed periodically from the cylinder. Coherent wake structures of the rotating cylinder is almost identical with stationary cylinder, but the lateral displacement and shrinkage of turbulent wake region is occured by rotation. Rotation of the cylinder result in that the deflection of wake center to deceleration region(Y/D${\simeq}-0.3)$ and the decrease of mean velocity defect(10%), vorticity strength of large scale structures(19%), total velocity fluctuation energy(12%).

  • Although commercial PIV systems have been widely used for the non-intrusive velocity field measurement of fluid flows, they are still under development and have considerable room for improvement. In this study, a single-frame double-exposure PIV system using a high-resolution CCD camera was developed. A pulsed Nd:Yag laser and high-resolution CCD camera were synchronized by a home-made control circuit. In order to resolve the directional ambiguity problem encountered in the single-frame PIV technique, the second particle image was genuinely shifted in the CCD sensor array during the time interval dt. The velocity vector field was determined by calculating the displacement vector at each interrogation window using cross-correlation with 50% overlapping. In order to check the effect of spatial resolution of CCD camera on the accuracy of PIV velocity field measurement, the developed PIV system with three different resolution modes of the CCD camera (512 ${\times}$ 512, lK ${\times}$ IK, 2K ${\times}$ 2K) was applied to a turbulent flow which simulate the Zn plating process of a steel strip. The experimental model consists of a snout and a moving belt. Aluminum flakes about $1{\mu}m$ diameter were used as scattering particles for the liquid flow in the zinc pot and the gas flow above the zinc surface was seeded with atomized olive oil with an average diameter of 1-$3{\mu}m$. Velocity field measurements were carried out at the strip speed $V_s$=1.0 m/s. The 2K ${\times}$ 2K high-resolution PIV technique was significantly superior compared to the smaller pixel resolution PIV system. For the cases of 512 ${\times}$ 512 and 1K ${\times}$ 1K pixel resolution PIV system, it was difficult to get accurate flow structure of viscous flow near the wall and small vortex structure in the region of large velocity gradient.

  • The objective of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics of polluted air behavior in rectangular tunnels using a PIV system and a commercial CFD program. The PIV experiments are simulated by using the olive oil as the tracer particles in scaled rectangular tunnels. Each model has one of four different outlet vents, each dimensionless L/H ratio of which is 0, 0.375, 0.75 and 1.125, respectively as the locations of each outlet are away from the vertical centerline through the inlet. A commercial CFD program, ANSYS CFX, was used to examine the velocity fields and the pressure distributions in numerical simulations. The kinematic viscosity of the air flow of $1.51{\times}10^{-5}m^2/s$ and the flow velocity of 0.3 m/s at the inlet are given under the same conditions in order to analyze the polluted air flow characteristics experimentally and computationally. This study is considered to examine the effect of the outlet locations in the naturally ventilated tunnel models.

  • The flow characteristic in the wake around a circular cylinder with tripping wires, which was set in constant distance, was experimentally investigated in the uniform flow, Re=2.92$\times10^4$. The measurement of velocity vector and pressure distribution are carried out various angles of tripping wires in the range of $50^(\circ)$ to $80^(\circ)$ with $10^(\circ)$ interval. The results show that velocity profiles and pressure distributions are different with angles of tripping wires. The drag of the circular cylinder was decreased about 60% maximum when tripping wires' angle was $50^(\circ)$. The lowest reduction of the velocity and wake width was occurred by coanda effect when the angle was $60^(\circ)$, and the vortex shedding periodicity become rare at the same time.

  • The turbulent shear flow around a surface-mounted vertical fence was investigated using the two-frame PTV system. The Reynolds number based on the fence height(H) was 2950. From this study, it is revealed that at least 400 instantaneous velocity field data are required for ensemble average to get reliable turbulence statistics, but only 100 field data are sufficient for the time-averaged mean velocity information. Various turbulence statistics such as turbulent intensities, turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress were calculated from 700 instantaneous velocity vector fields. The fence flow has an unsteady recirculation region behind the fence, followed by a slow relaxation to the flat-plate boundary layer flow. The time-averaged reattachment length estimated from the streamline distribution is about 11.2H. There exists a region of negative Reynolds shear stress near the fence top due to the highly convex (stabilizing) streamline-curvature of the upstream flow. The large eddy structure in the separated shear layer seems to have significant influence on the development of the separated shear layer and the reattachment process.

  • The development of fluid mechanics is briefly reviewed and the importance of fluid flows to heat and mass transfer in nature as well as to science and engineering is outlined. This paper presents the experimental results of air flow in the rectangular tunnel which has four different exhaust outlets, each distance of which from the inlet is 0, 30, 60 and 90mm respectively. This experiment is conducted by using the olive oil as the tracer particles and the kinematic viscosity of the air flow is $1.51{\times}10^{-5}\;m^2$/s. The flow is tested at the flow rate of 1.3 $m^3$/h and the velocity of 0.3 m/s. PIV technology can be used to make a good description of the smoke flow characteristics in the tunnel.
