The interaction of a travelling shock with the shear layer of a flat plate is studied computationally. The Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically on quadrilateral unstructured adaptive grids. The flat plate is installed horizontally on the central axis of a shock tube. The shear layer is first created by two shock waves at different speeds splitted by a flat plate. A series of small vortices is developed as a consequence in the shear layer. The shock wave reflected at the end wall impinges the shear layer. The complicated shock dynamics in the evolution to the pseudo-steady state is represented with the morphological transformation of a planar shock into an oblique shock.

Rapid mixing of air-fuel (<1 ms) is needed to accomplish supersonic combustion. In this experiment, helium was injected laterally in to the Mach 1.92 air flow. 2 kinds of model, flat plate/cavity, were used in this experiment and images were taken by schlieren visualization. Pressure was affected by shock structure in the supersonic duct, and penetration height was increased by increasing J. Penetration height was higher in the cavity model than flat plate model.

In this study, an improved 8-node flat shell element is presented for the analysis of shell structure, by combining 8-node membrane element with drilling degree-of-freedom and 8-node plate bending element based on the recently presented technique. Firstly, 8-node membrane element designated as CLM8 is presented in this paper. The element has drilling degree-of.freedom in addition to transitional degree-of-freedom. Therefore the element possesses 3 degrees-of-freedom per each node which as well as the improvement of the element behavior, permits an easy connection to other element with rotational degree-of -freedom. Secondly. 8-node flat shell element was composed by adding 8-node Mindlin plate bending element to the membrane element. The behavior of the introduced plate bending element is further improved by combined use of nonconforming displacement modes, selectively reduced integration scheme and assumed shear strain fields. The element passes in the patch test, doesn't show spurious mechanism and doesn't produce shear locking phenomena. Finally, Numerical examples are presented to show the performance of flat shell element developed in the present study.

Recently the construction of high-rise reinforced concrete building is progressively increased as the social demands. It is significantly important factors such as economy, the safety of structure, and the flexibility of internal space. Therefore new structural system is also required to be attained the reduction of story height, the flexibility and efficient use of space. The most suitable structural system is with the economy and flexibility, flat plate slab system in high-rise reinforced concrete building. In this research, it was focused in the improvement of shear performance in the flat plate system using high ductile fiber reinforced mortar. It was evaluated the shear performance in the critical region of slab-column connection. The flat plate system, designed by the high performance and safety, was developed as a new technique in the application of high-rise R/C building.

In flat-plate floors, slab-column connections are broken down with a brittle shear failure. And it can cause the collapse of the whole structures. Thus, the proper method of shear reinforcement in flat plate-column connections must be required. The objective of this study is to compare shear reinforcement specimens using lattice bars to no shear reinforcement specimens in view of shear strength and ductility of the flat plate-column connections. The test results have shown that shear reinforcement specimens varying $\rho$, $b_0$/d and $C_1$/$C_2$ increase in shear strength by 36.85% and in ductility by 9.16 for no shear reinforcement specimens on the average. This results confirm the effectiveness of this type of shear reinforcement in improving shear strength and ductility.

This paper is experimental study to define the structural behaviors of reinforced flat plate under combined gravity and lateral loads. Specific objectives of this study reported herein are : (1) To study the behavior of a typical slab-column subassemblage under lateral loading. (2) To study the effects of vertical loads on slab-column lateral load behavior. (3) To investigate the post-failure behavior of slab-column connetios. To achieve these objectives, this study includes four tests of slab-column subassemblages that were made for 1/2 scale. Finally, Test results of this study show that the level of gravity load on the flat plate is one of the most important factors determining the lateral behavior of flat plate connections.

Friction-factors for honeycomb surfaces are measured with a flat plate tester. The flat plate test apparatus is described and method is discussed for determining the friction-factor experimentally. The friction-factor is calculated for the flat plate test based on the Fanno-line flow. The test parameters are honeycomb cell width, depth, clearance, inlet pressure, and Reynolds number(or Mach number). A new empirical friction-factor model for honeycomb surfaces are developed as a function of these parameters.

Vortex is very interesting flow phenomena on the heat transfer enhancement. In the present study, naphthalene sublimation technique is used to determine the average and local mass transfer coefficients on the flat plate with vortex generator. A parametric study with Reynolds number and angle of attack is carried out to investigate the heat transfer enhancement. The heat transfer coefficients on the flat plate with rectangular type and delta type vortex generator are compared with those of the flat plate without the vortex generator. Comparing heat transfer coefficients between rectangular type and delta type vortex generator, rectangular type vortex generator has much higher value than delta type vortex generator at the same condition.

In this paper we study numerically the shock-vortex interaction in the shear layer generated by moving shock waves above and below a flat plate. The faster normal shock is diffracted at the tip of the flat plate, producing a starting vortex. The slower normal shock below the flat plate arrives soon later to run across the vortex and make interaction. The two shocks are merged together and reflected back at the closed end of the shock tube to impinge on the shear layer developing multiple vortexlets. The computational simulation based on Euler and Navier-Stokes equations shows good prediction.

In this study, a computational analysis is conducted to investigate the effects of porous surfaces on the lift and drag forces of the flat plate. With the porous treatment, it is found that the strength of the Karman vortex as well as its influences over the trailing-edge surface are much weakened, resulting in significant reduction of the pressure fluctuations over the flat plate. The drag and lift coefficients are decreased by 85% and 18%, respectively, compared to the solid surface. The computed results also indicate that the size of the porous surface area does not have much influences but the back side of the flat plate has non-negligible effects on the interaction between the wall and the Karman vortex. As a result, the lift coefficient for the solid back side case is decreased only by 50.5% compared to the solid case and the drag coefficient is even increased by 65%.
