This paper was studied to investigate and compare the effects of inclined baffle plate on the turbulent flow characteristics of a gun-type gas burner through X-Y plane and Y-Z plane respectively by using X-probe from hot-wire anemometer system. For this purpose, two burner models with a cone-type baffle plate and a flat-type one respectively were used. The fast jet flow spurted from slits plays a role such as an air-curtain because it encircles rotational flow by swirl vanes and drives mixed main flow to axial direction regardless of the inclination of baffle plate. The inclined baffle plate causes axial mean velocity component and turbulent intensities etc. to be greatly concentrated towards the central part of a burner, and its effect especially appears in the range of about X/R=1.0-2.0. Also, it gives much larger size to axial mean velocity component and turbulent intensities etc formed near the slits in the range of X/R=1.4103. Especially the inclined baffle plate shifts more the Reynolds shear stress uw to the central region of a burner(Y/R=${\pm}$0.75) than the flat-type one, moreover it develops more strongly than uv.

Viscous solutions of supersonic jet impinging on a flat plate normal to the flow are simulated using three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. The jet impinging flow structure exhibits such complex nature as shock shell, plate shock and Mach disk depending on the flow parameters. Among others, the dominant parameters are the ratio of the nozzle exit pressure to the ambient pressure and the distance between the nozzle exit plane and the impinging plane. In the present study, the nozzle contour and the pressure ratio are held fixed, while the jet impinging distance is varied to illuminate the characteristics of the jet plume with the distance. As the plate is placed close to the nozzle at 3D high, the computed wall pressure at or near the jet center oscillates with large amplitude with respect to the mean value. Here D is the nozzle exit diameter. The amplitude of wall pressure fluctuations subsides as the distance increases, but the maximum pressure level at the plate is achieved when the distance is about 4D high. The frequency of the wall pressure is estimated at 6.0 kHz, 9.3 kHz, and 10.0 kHz as the impinging distance varies from 3D, 4D, to 6D, respectively.

The confined slot air jet impinging normally on a moving flat surface has been investigated numerically by using commercial CFD code Ansys CFX-V11. Turbulent flows are modeled using k-w turbulence model. Two-dimensional turbulent flow is considered. Calculations were conducted for a nozzle-to-plate spacing of eight slot nozzle width, at three Reynolds number(Re=4500, 6700 and 10,000) and four surface-to-velocity ratios i.e. 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1. Results are compared against corresponding cases for heat transfer from a stationary plate. Local Nusselt number is calculated under constant wall temperature condition. The analysis reveals that the average Nusselt number increases considerably with the jet exit Reynolds number, but decrease with the plate velocity.

When an under-expanded supersonic jet impinges on an inclined flat surface, a complex flow structure is established due to the intersection between the flat surface and the shock system of the free jet. This study reports on an experimental results of flows due to under-expanded axisymmetric sonic jets impinging on flat plate. Plate inclination from $60^{\cire}$~$90^{\cire}$ were investigated by means of detailed measurements of the surface pressure and schlieren photograph and surface flow visualization. The schlieren photograph are consistent with the pressure distribution and the surface flow visualization pictures are clearly related to the pressure distributions. The maximum wall pressure is found to be large on the inclined plate than on the perpendicular plate.

The purpose of this research is to investigate how separated and reattached flow affects mass transfer, by comparing the local mass transfer characteristics on an inclined flat plate with those on a parallel flat plate. The local mass transfer coefficients for the flat plate were measured using the naphthalene sublimation technique; the inclined angle of the flat plate was varied from $-10^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ at $5^{\circ}$ intervals, and the free-stream velocity was varied from 2m/s to 15m/s. At positive inclined angles, the local Sherwood numbers decreased gradually because the boundary-layer thickness increased. On the other hand, for negative inclined angles, the local Sherwood numbers assumed the minimum value at the separation point of the recirculation flow and the maximum value at the reattachment point. The average Sherwood numbers for both positive and negative inclined angles were lower than those in the case of the parallel plate.

In this study, time-dependent numerical analysis was carried out to investigate the plasma jet impingement on a flat plate, and a compressible form of two-dimensional inviscid gas dynamics equations were solved using the flux corrected transport algorithm. The mathematical modeling of Joule heating in the polycarbonate capillary bore and the mass ablation from the bore wall was incorporated in the numerical analysis and the series of computation was performed for three cases depending on the distance of the opposing plate from the capillary exit. The computational results reveal that the presence of the opposing plate does not affect the flow conditions inside the capillary when compared to the case of open-air plasma discharge. In the exterior region, the flow structure shows the typical supersonic underexpanded jet which consists of the strong Mach disk in front of the opposing plate and the barrel shock at the side of the jet. It is found that the shock evolution becomes more quasi-steady when the plate distance decreases. Also, the effects of the distance between the capillary bore exit and the opposing plate on the flow conditions along the opposing plate are investigated and the pressure variation on the plate shows more complicated interaction between the plasma discharge and the opposing plate when the location of plate becomes closer to the capillary exit.

The concept of an air lubrication has long been an object of attention since it can be utilized to reduce the frictional resistance, and what is more, it is eco-friendly. The present study examines the basic characteristics of an air cavity with intention of applying the air lubrication technology to the reduction of the resistance of a ship without excessive power increment. For the purpose, an air cavity was created at the bottom of a flat plate by injecting air behind a backward step and the hydrodynamic properties of the air cavity and the surrounding flow has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The influence of the step height and the air flow rate have been more carefully studied since they are presumed to be the main parameters affecting the characteristics of an air cavity. The results indicates that the shapes of the air cavities attached on the flat plate become "U" or "V" type depending on the incoming flow velocity and air flow rate. The study also confirms that the length of the air cavity increases with increase in air flow rate but there is a certain critical limit in the flow rate above which increase in the air cavity length is no more evident.

Supersonic jet impingement on a flat plate has been investigated to show the flow physics for different jet heights and to demonstrate the adequacy of the characteristics-based flux-difference Wavier-Stokes code Current study also compares the steady-state solutions obtained with variable CFL number for different grid spacing with the time-accurate unsteady solutions using the inner iterations, displaying a good agreement between the two sets of numerical solutions. The unsteady nature of wall fluctuations due to bouncing of the plate shock is also uncovered for high pressure ratios. The methodology is then applied to a complex vertical launcher system where the jet plume hits the bottom wail, deflects into the plenum and eventually exits through the vertical uptake. Flow structures within vertical launcher system are captured and solutions are partially verified against the flight test data. Present jet impingement study thus shows the usefulness of CFD in designing a complex structure and predicting flow behavior within such a system.

In present paper, mass transfer over a flat plate with film condensation including noncondesable gas is analyzed with the help of similarity methods. Couette flow was assumed in liquid film and boundary-layer approximation was used in the ambient flow. Governing equations were transformed into the ordinary differential equtions by the similarity methods. Runge-Kutta and shooting method were used in order to fine the effect of mass transfer on the velocity and concentrations at the liquid-vapor interface.

A finite element program is developed to analyze the flow phenomena in SMC compression molding as a viscoplastic model. The calculation of temperature distribution is also carried out by uncoupling the thermal analysis from the flow analysis. SMC molding processes with a flat plate substructure and the one with a T-shaped rib are considered in numerical simulation. The numerical results provide deformed shapes, temperature distribution in a SMC charge, and the forming load. The simulation of compression molding of a flat plate with a T-shaped rib requires a remeshing technique for the whole process.
