Theoretical analysis using finite element method are peformed in order to clarify the formation of the flare-shape defect for multi-step tube sinking process. The parameters of concern were the friction between the tube and the die, and geometrical parameters, such as the die inclination angle, the diameters of the die entrance and exit, and the curvature at the corner of the die exit. The effect of the curvature at the comer of the die exit is dominant for determining the flare-shape defect. In order to minimize the flare-shape defect the curvature at the corner of the die exit should be increased up to a certain level(120mm). Using three-step tube sinking die sets which have different curvatures at the comer of the die exit, several numbers of tests were performed and its results are compared with that of theoretical analysis.

This study deals with the roundabout by flare of entry and exit. The goal is to analyze the relative effectiveness of roundabout by flare of entry and exit. In pursuing the above, this study gives the particular attentions to comparing the performances using VISSIM software. The main results analyzed are as follows. First, the single and double roundabouts are analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 2,400pcph and 4,400pcph Second, the roundabouts by entry flare analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 2,800~3,200pcph and the roundabouts by entry and exit flare analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 3,200~3,600pcph. Finally, result of comparative analysis of roundabout and roundabout by flare of entry and exit, capacity of roundabout by flare of entry and exit are located between 1-lane roundabout and 2-lane roundabout. therefore it analyzed that roundabout by flare of entry and exit can be added to new type roundabout.

A swirler is a flame holding device generating recirculation regions in a gas turbine combustor, and the flow pattern due to a swirler has major effects on the flame distributions, combustion efficiency, and characteristics of exhaust gas. An experimental study for a counter-rotating swirler has been conducted to find out effects of the mass flow rate ratio of the inner/outer swirler flow area, the pressure difference between the swirler inlet and outlet, and the flare exit length ratio on the flow patterns in a model combustion chamber by using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique.

The present paper describes experimental and computational work to augment the magnitude of the impulsive wave. An experiment was performed using a simple shock tube with an open end and numerical calculations were carried out to solve the unsteady, axisymmetric, inviscid, compressible governing equations. The control strategy applied was to alter the exit geometry of a straight tube to a sudden enlargement tube and a flare tube. The effects of the configurations of the tube exit on the magnitude of the impulsive wave were investigated over the range of the weak shock Mach number from 1.01 to 1.10. The results obtained were compared to those of the straight tube tests. The numerical result predicted the magnitude of the experimented impulsive waves with a good accuracy. The present passive control technique enabled the magnitude of the impulsive wave to augment by about 23 percent, compared to that of the straight tube of no control.
