The carbon dioxide properties change sharply near the critical or pseudo-critical point in the heat transfer processes. The reduction in turbulent, convective heat transfer parameters observed in some supercritical data and in experiments with common gases can be due to property variation, acceleration, buoyancy or combinations of these phenomena, depending on the conditions of the applications. In this study, the measurement for the secondary flow driven by buoyancy was carried out on the supercritical carbon dioxide turbulent flows in the different boundary condition with the constant mass flow rate. The available measuring techniques were used to clarify the behaviour of any supercritical fluid. Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) and a special device was used to measure the secondary velocity and turbulent characteristics of the supercritical flows.

The application of nutrients and pesticides to agricultural lands has been reported to contribute to groundwater contamination, which can be explained by preferential flow in lieu of convective-dispersive flow. An one-dimensional numerical model depicting preferential water and solute movement was modified to describe multi-layer flows. The model is based on a piecewise linear conductivity function. By combining conservation of mass and Darcy's law and using the method of characteristics a solution is obtained for water flow in which water moves at distinct velocities in different flow regions instead of an average velocity for the whole profile. The model allows transfer ofqr solutes between pore groups. The transfer is characterized by assuming mixing coefficients. The model was applied to undisturbed soil columns and an experiment site with structured sandy clay loam soil. Chloride, bromide, and 2, 4-D were used as tracers. Simulated solutes concentrations were in good agreement with the soil column data and field data in which preferential flow of solute is significant. The proposed model is capable of describing preferential solute transport under laboratory and field conditions.

The unsteady numerical simulations have been presented for the laminar natural convection in a partially open compartment. Computations were performed within the domain of the compartment in order to show the thermal radiation and the partially opening effects on the flow fields and heat transfer characteristics. The results were shown for different Planck numbers(0.05~5) and opening ratios(0.25~0.75) being fixed with Ra=$10^5$ and Pr=0.71. Considering the flow which is buoyancy driven from the heated wall, and the buoyancy is not much affected by the further outside region from the opening, the numerical computations have been performed without an outer region by the particular boundary treatments on the flow velocity and temperature at the different partial openings. The confined numerical domain reduced the CPU time and the memory of computer. P-1 approximation of radiative transfer equation was employed with Marshak type boundary conditions along with the pseudo-black body approximation at the partial openings. The numerical results clearly show that the natural convective flow and heat transfer are much affected by increase of thermal radiation particularly from the initial state. When thermal radiation is not much affecting the flow ($PL{\le}1$), it was found that thermal radiation effects are almost negligible.

To improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines, it is necessary to understand mixed air-fuel in-cylinder flow processes accurately at intake and compression strokes. There is experimental and numerical methods to analyse in-cylinder flow process. In numerical method, standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model with wall function was mostly adopted in in-cylinder flow process. But this type model was not efficiently predicted in the near wall region. Therefore in the present study, low Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was adopted near the cylinder wall and standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model in other region. Also QUICK scheme was used for convective difference scheme. This study takes axisymmetric reciprocating model engine motored at 200rpm with a centrally located valve, incorporated 60 degree seat angie, and flat piston surface excluding inlet port. Because in-cylinder flow processes are undergoing unsteady and compressible, averaged cylinder pressure and inlet velocity at arbitrary crank angle are determined from thermodynamic analytic method and incylinder states at that crank angle are iteratively determined from the numerical analytic method.

Numerical Predictions including secondary flows have been Performed for fully developed turbulent single-phase rod bundle flows. The k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model(two equation model) for the isotropic eddy viscosity, together with an algebraic stress model for generating secondary velocities, enabled the prediction of mean axial velocities, secondary velocities, and turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent stresses. Comparisons with experiment hate shown that the influence of secondary motion on mean flow and turbulence is dearly evident. The convective transport effects of secondary flow on the velocity field have been identified.

For $P_B=50,\;{\Delta}T=10K$, Ar=5, Pr=2.36, Le=0.015, Pe=1.26, Cv=1.11, the intensity of solutal convection (solutal Grashof number $Grs=3.44x10^4$) is greater than that of thermal convection (thermal Grashof number $Grt=1.81x10^3$) by one order of magnitude, which is based on the solutally buoyancy-driven convection due to the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A($Hg_2Cl_2$) and B(He). With increasing the partial pressure of component B from 10 up to 200 Torr, the rate is decreased exponentially. The convective transport decreases with lower g level and is changed to the diffusive mode at 0.1 $g_0$. In other words, for regions in which the g level is 0.1 $g_0$ or less, the diffusion-driven convection results in a parabolic velocity profile and a recirculating cell is not likely to occur. Therefore a gravitational acceleration level of less than 0.1 $g_0$ can be adequate to ensure purely diffusive transport.

The two-dimensional incompressible and compressible Navier-Stokes codes are developed for the computation of the viscous turbulent flow over high-lift airfoils. Incompressible code using pseudo-compressibility and dual-time stepping method involves a conventional upwind differencing scheme for the convective terms and LU-SGS scheme for time integration. Compressible code also adopts an FDS scheme and LU-SGS scheme. Several two-equation turbulence models (the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, the $k-{\omega}$ model. and $k-{\omega}$ SST model) are evaluated by computing the flow over single and multi-element airfoils. The compressible and incompressible codes are validated by computing the flow around the transonic RAE2822 airfoil and the NACA4412 airfoil, respectively. Both the results show a good agreement with experimental surface pressure coefficients and velocity profiles in the boundary layers. Also, the GA(W)-1 single airfoil and the NLR7301 airfoil with a flap are computed using the two-equation turbulence models. The grid systems around two- and three-element airfoil are efficiently generated using Chimera grid scheme, one of the overlapping grid generation methods.

The effect of thermal stratification on the turbulent dispersion from a fine cylindrical heat source was experimentally examined in a wind tunnel with and without a strong temperature gradient. A 0.5 mm dia. nichrome wire was used as a line heat source. Turbulent intensities, r.m.s. value of temperature and convective heat fluxes were measured by using a hot-wire and cold-wire combination probe. The results show that the peack value and the spread of the vertical turbulent intensity for the stratified case are far lower than those in the neutral case, which indicates that the stable temperature gradient suppresses the vertical velocity component. All of the third order moments including heat fluxes measured in the stable condition have very small values than those of the neutral case. This nature suggests that the decrease of scalar fluctuations in the stably stratified flow is mainly due to the suppression ofthe turbulent diffusion processes by the stable stratification. A simple gradient model with a composite timescale which has a simple weighted algebraic mean between dynamic and thermal time scale yields reasonably good numerical values in comparison with the experimental data.

The objective of the present study is to analyze the fluid flow with moving boundary using a finite element method. The algorithm uses a fractional step approach that can be used to solve low-speed flow with large density changes due to intense temperature gradients. The explicit Lax-Wendroff scheme is applied to nonlinear convective terms in the momentum equations to prevent checkerboard pressure oscillations. The ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) method is adopted for moving grids. The numerical algorithm in the present study is validated for two-dimensional unsteady flow in a driven cavity and a natural convection problem. To extend the present numerical method to engine simulations, a piston-driven intake flow with moving boundary is also simulated. The density, temperature and axial velocity profiles are calculated for the three-dimensional unsteady piston-driven intake flow with density changes due to high inlet fluid temperatures using the present algorithm. The calculated results are in good agreement with other numerical and experimental ones.

In this study, the temperature distribution and heat transfer characteristics of each component in a solenoid motor system were numerically investigated when heat is generated by the steel pad attached to the solenoid ring of the motor. It was found that the internal airflow was complicated by the inflow velocity of air and the rotation of guide rollers and solenoid rings. Based on the numerical results, the tendency for temperature changes in the steel panel was lower due to the contact of the cooling air in the front in the rotational direction, and the peak temperature was at the front of the center. In particular, it was confirmed that as the air inflow rate was increased, the temperature was reduced due to strong convection. The temperature of the iron plate pad was decreased as the convective heat transfer coefficient was linearly increased with increasing airflow around the solenoid ring. In addition, the temperature of the iron plate panel was rapidly increased with increasing heat generation.
