  • In this study, reduced-scale experiments as the alternative to a real-scale fire test were conducted to understand fire properties in tunnel, and their results were compared with those of numerical simulation. The 1/20 scale experiments were conducted under the Froude scaling since smoke movement in tunnel is governed by buoyancy farce. A numerical simulations were on performed 3D unstructured meshes with PISO algorithm and buoyant plume models. Results showed that data was in reasonable agreement with the numerical data of smoke velocity, temperature distribution, and clear height.

  • A numerical model is applied to analyze the mixing characteristics of an axisymmetric turbulent buoyant jet discharged into flowing stratified ambients. The numerical model is a Gaussian-vortex model which incorporates the effects of the vortex pair known as the representative characteristics of far-field in flowing ambients. Six ocean outfalls that have field data for the initial dilution at the water surface are selected for testing the applicability of the developed numerical model. The comparisons of the observed initial dilutions and the simulated ones show that the developed numerical model could be used for the analyses of the initial mixings induced by the sewage diffuser discharged into the ocean.

  • A 2-dimensional temperature field measurement technique using PLIF (Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence) was developed and it was applied to an axisymmetric buoyant jet. Rhodamine B was used as a fluorescent dye. Laser light sheet illuminated a two-dimensional cross section of the jet. The intensity variations of LIF signal from Rhodamine B molecules scattered by the laser light were captured with an optical filter and a CCD camera. The spatial variations of temperature field of buoyant jet were derived using the calibration data between the LIF signal and real temperature. The measured results show that the turbulent jet is more efficient in mixing compared to the transition and laminar jet flows. As the initial flow condition varies from laminar to turbulent flow, the entrainment from ambient fluid increases and temperature decay along the jet center axis becomes larger. In addition to the mean temperature field, the spatial distributions of temperature fluctuations were measured by the PLIF technique and the result shows the shear layer development from the jet nozzle exit.

  • Outside wall systems we lost much energy from the dew of thermal bridge and unsuitable adiabatic construction. The air vent wall system can make reduce cooling loads from the outside wall in summer. The basic concept is connected with buoyant force by the difference of density. An external surface of a wall absorbs solar radiation, and transfers it to the air in the cavity. The warmed air gets buoyant force. So the warmed air is released through the top opening and cooler outside air replaces the space in the cavity. So because of the cavity and the openings, the cooling load reduction by natural ventilation is believed to be considerable. The purpose of this study is finding optimal length of air cavity by numerical analyses.

  • The behavior of a plane buoyant jet within the zone of flow establishment(ZFE) which is discharged vertically upward into a stagnant uniform environment, is analyzed by the integral equations of mass, momentum and tracer conservation. The analysis includes the spreading ratio with Froude number and geometry of the potential core of ZFE and the length of ZFE. The central velocity at the end of ZFE is found to be influenced significantly by buoyancy, especially at low discharge Froude number. The results provide the necessary initial conditions for the investigation of the zone of established flow.

  • A numerical investigation is made of time-dependent buoyant convection in a square of a non-Boussinesq fluid. The density-temperature$({\rho}-T)$ relation is modeled by a quadratic function, with the maximum density ${\rho}_M$ at temperature $T_M$. The horizontal walls of the square are insulated, and a pulsating temperature $T_H=T_M+{\Delta}T'\;sin({\omega}{\tau})$ is imposed on the hot vertical sidewall. The temperature at the cold wall $T_c$ is constant. Extensive numerical solutions to the governing Navier-Stokes equations are portrayed. Resonance is identified by monitoring the amplitude of the mid-plane Nusselt number, $A(Nu^*)$. The primary resonance frequency is found by matching ${\omega}$ to the nondimensional basic mode $N_1$ of internal gravity oscillations. Due to the quadratic$({\rho}-T)$ relationship, the effective pulsation frequency for density, $2{\omega}$, is meaningful, which brings forth the secondary resonance frequency, i.e., $2{\omega}=N_1$

  • The aerial support air sculptures currently exhibited in indoor spaces are similar to simple ad balloons, using multiple rope strands. Users now want more advanced unfixed sculptures, and hope these will develop into buoyant sculptures that can maintain the attitudes that users want on their own. This study investigated an attitude control system for unfixed levitation sculptures that can levitate with no rope and continuously maintain a certain attitude at a height specified by the user. To facilitate levitation, the exterior part of the sculpture was made of lightweight fibers, and the interior part was filled with helium gas. The controller was composed of a microprocessor of the dsPIC30F line from microchip, gyro, acceleration, and earth magnetic field sensors, and a highly efficient brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor. The attitude and position control system requires scheduling considering the trajectories of the sculpture and the control system, because the roles of the overall components are more important than those of a single controller. Furthermore, the system was designed like a fusion system that is expanded and controlled as a total controller, because it is interconnected with various sensors. The attitude control system of buoyant sculptures was implemented in this study, such that it can actively cope with the position, direction, stopping, and time aspects. The system performance was then evaluated.
