In this study, a scaled model chamber was built to investigate ventilation characteristics of the Under floor Air-conditioning System. Experimental study was performed in model for cargo-oil pump room with inlet and outlet by visualization equipment with laser apparatus. Instant simultaneous velocity vectors at whole field were measured by 2-D PIV system(CACTUS'2000) which adopted two-frame grey-level cross correlation algorithm. The flow pattern reveals the large scale counterclockwise forced-vortex rotation from upside louver to lower scupper toward diagonal corner and also found small eddies at bottom layer

The distribution of tidal currents in Asan Bay was simulated by a numerical experiment. A homogeneous and single layer model with bottom stress taken into account was used. Although the effective configuration of the bay differs significantly between the high tide and the low tkde, its form is assumed to be fixed as a first approximation. The advective term is particularly large because the tidal range of 810cm is large compared to the depth and the changes of velocities occur abruptly. The results of calculations agree fairly well with the observations. For example, the tidal range at Manhoriis amplified 15cm higher and the phase lag is five minutes later than at the mouth of the bay. It also can generally be said that, with the semidiurnal tide at the mouth of the bay, the tidal range is increased toward the inner corner and that tidal currents are found to be large at the deeper part of the bay.

A numerical study is made of a manifold and bipolar plate in polymer electrolyte fuel cells, the aim of the present study is to describe the characteristics of flow pattern In manifold and bipolar plate. The present work shows that the flow pattern in the bipolar plate is affected by the penetration flow through GDL characterized by clamping pressure and GDL intrusion in to a channel area. Manifold geometry also affects the flow distribution. The recirculation flow by bent duct destroy even distribution In manifold, the present work shows that corner rounding can improve the manifold performance.

The suppression of fluid force acting on a square prism near plane wall was studied by attaching fences on the comers of the prism. The height of the fence was 10% of the square width and the range of Reynolds number considered was $Re=2.0{\times}10^4$. The experimental parameters were the attaching position and numbers of fences, the space ratios $G/B(G/B=0.1{\sim}1.2)$ between prism and plane wall. The average drag coefficients were increased and the average hit coefficients were decreased and increased with the space ratios foulard plane wall. The drag of the prism was reduced average 7.6% with the space ratios by attaching the normal fence at the rear and upper comer and the horizontal normal fence at the rear and lower corner on the prism.

Aerodynamic characteristics of three-dimensional wings in ground effect for Aero-levitation Electric Vehicle(AEV) are numerically investigated for various fairing shapes at the junctions of 3D Wings. Numerical results show that a sizeable three-dimensional comer flow separation occurs with formation of an arch vortex at the junction of main and vertical wings, and also that this is predicted the main cause of the high lift-to-drag(L/D) reduction rate of the main wing. To avoid the comer flow separation, the main idea of this study is to reduce the cross section gradient of the comer flow tube near the trailing edge for various fairing shapes. Improvements on L/D ratios of the wings are pursued by breaking the coherence of superimposed adverse pressure gradients at the wing junction when the cross section gradient is changed slowly at the trailing edge.

Graphene was epitaxially grown on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by thermal decomposition of SiC under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we monitored the evolution of the graphene growth as a function of the temperature. We found that the evaporation of Si occurred dominantly from the corner of the step rather than on the terrace. A carbon-rich $(6{\sqrt{3}}{\times}6{\sqrt{3}})R30^{\circ}$ layer, monolayer graphene, and bilayer graphene were identified by measuring the roughness, step height, and atomic structures. Defect structures such as nanotubes and scattering defects on the monolayer graphene are also discussed. Furthermore, we confirmed that the Dirac points (ED) of the monolayer and bilayer graphene were clearly resolved by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS).

The greatest suction on the cladding of flat roof low-rise buildings is known to occur beneath the conical vortices that form along the roof edges for cornering winds. In a companion paper, a model of the vortex flow mechanism has been developed which can be used to connect the surface pressure beneath the vortex to adjacent flow conditions. The flow model is experimentally validated in this paper using simultaneous velocity and surface pressure measurement on a 1 : 50 model of the Texas Tech University experimental building in a wind tunnel simulated atmospheric boundary layer. Flow visualization gives further insight into the nature of peak suction events. The flow model is shown to account for the increase in suction towards the roof corner as well as the presence of the highest suction at wind angles of $60^{\circ}$. It includes a parameter describing vortex suction strength, which is shown to be related to the nature of the reattachment, and also suggests how different components of upstream turbulence could influence the surface pressure.

A three-dimensional CSCM upwind flux difference splitting Navier-stokes code with two-equation turbulence models was developed to predict the transonic flows in centrifugal compressor diffuser. The k-$\epsilon$ model of Abe et al. performed well in predicting the pressure distribution in the shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction. Three turbulence models predicted the similar distribution of static pressure through the diffuser and showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The secondary flows in the corner were predicted well by these turbulence models. The pressure increase before the throat of the diffuser vane is important for the overall pressure recovery. As the mass flow rate increased the blockage decreased at the throat. The pressure coefficient distribution through the diffuser depended on the throat blockage not on the rotational speed of the impeller.

A chromia-pillared clay has been prepared by ion exchange type intercalation reaction between the sodium ion in montmorillonite and the trimeric chromium oxyformate (TCF) ion, and by subsequent heat-treatment. The structural and thermal properties have been systematically studied by thermal analysis, powder XRD, IR spec-troscopy, and XAS. The gallery height of~6.8 $\AA$ upon intercalation of the TCF ion suggests that the $Cr_3O$ plane is parallel to the aluminosilicate layers. Even though the basal spacing of TCF intercalated clay decreases slightly upon heating, the layer structure was retained up to $550^{\circ}C$ as confirmed by XRD and TG/DTA. Ac-cording to the EXAFS spectroscopic analysis, it is identified that the (Cr-Cr) distance of 3.28 $\AA$ between vertex-linked CrO6 octahedra in TCF splits into 2.64 $\AA$, 2.98 $\AA$, and 3.77 $\AA$ due to the face-, edge-, and corner-shared CrO6 octahedra after heating at $400^{\circ}C$, implying that a nano-sized chromium oxide phase was stabilized within the interlayer space of clay.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the compressive strength of small scale concentrically axially loaded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined plain concrete columns, with cylinder concrete strength 19 MPa. For columns with circular (150-mm diameter) and square (150-mm side) cross sections wrapped with glass- and carbon-FRP sheets (GFRP and CFRP, respectively) applied with dry lay-up the effect of different jacket schemes and different overlap configurations on the confined characteristics is investigated. Test results indicate that the most cost effective jacket configuration among those tested is for one layer of CFRP, for both types of sections. In square sections the location of the lap length, either in the corner or along the side, does not seem to affect the confined performance. Furthermore, in circular sections, the presence of an extra wrap with FRP fibers parallel to the column's axis enhances the concrete strength proportionally to the axial rigidity of the FRP jacket. The recorded strains and the distributions of lateral confining pressures are discussed. Existing design equations are used to assess the lateral confining stresses and the confined concrete strength making use of the measured hoop strains.
