A numerical simulation of an incompressible cavity flow is conducted using turbulence models. Cavity geometry and flow conditions are based on Cattafesta's experiment. Baldwin-Lomax model and ${\kappa}-{\varpi}$ model are employed. While simulation with Baldwin-Lomax model predicts the oscillatory features of the flow, the use of ${\kappa}-{\varpi}$ model in its original form makes the simulation converge to steady flow. To acquire oscillatory flow solution, Kato-Launder form and Time scale bound are adopted in production term of ${\kappa}-{\varpi}$ model. The strouhal number of the flow oscillations from the simulation results corresponds to 1 st mode in simulation but 2 nd mode in experiments. However mean velocity profile is in good agreement with the experimental data and the fluctuation profile follows the tendency of Cattafesta's results.

This article describes the numerical investigation of blood flow in the stenosed artery bifurcation with acceleration of the human body. Using the commercial software FLUENT, three-dimensional analyses were performed for six simulation cases with different body accelerations and bifurcation angles. The blood flow was considered to be pulsation flow, and the blood was considered to be a non-Newtonian fluid based on the Carreau viscosity model. In order to consider periodic body acceleration, a modified, time-dependent, gravitational-force term was used in the momentum equation. As a result, flow variables, such as flow rate and wall shear stress, increase with body acceleration and decrease with bifurcation angle. High values of body acceleration generate back flow during the diastolic period, which increases flow fluctuation and the oscillatory shear index at the stenosis.

An experimental investigation was carried out to study the characteristics of concentration of a coaxial jet being tone excited and consisting of $CO_2$, and air. The concentration in a binary gas mixture was measured by using the hot-wire anemometer and flow visualization was performed by the schlieren technique. In the case of excited flow, it is found that acoustic energy is partially transferred to RMS concentration to enhance mixing.

In the thermal power plant, it is difficult to maintain strict control of the steam temperature in order to avoid thermal stress, because of variation of the heating value according to the fuel source, the time delay of changes in main steam temperature versus changes in fuel flow rate, difficulty of control on the main steam temperature control and the reheater steam temperature control system owing to the dynamic response characteristics of changes in steam temperature and the reheater steam temperature, fluctuation of inner fluid water and steam flow rates widely during load-following operation. Up to the present time, the PID controller has been used to operate this system...

This paper presents unsteady oil flow behaviors in the engine lubrication network to clarify the differences between continuous and discontinuous oil supply crankshaft system. Using commercial network analysis program, Flowmaster2, engine lubrication network system analysis were carried out. And effects of crankshaft speed and supplied oil pressure on pressure fluctuation in oil groove and oil flow rate to each bearing were analyzed.

The present study discusses the deviation from the pure dead-time model of passive scalars such as temperature and concentration in the Poiseulle flow Even in the case of no thermal diffusion, there exists a substantial amount of damping and large deviation of phase lag from that computed by the traditional dead-time model after only 10 diameter downstream. These are caused by the phase difference of temperature in the radial direction due to the nonuniform velocity distribution. In the presence of thermal diffusion, damping is more pronounced.

This study presents the measured unsteady fluctuation of impeller discharge flow for a centrifugal compressor in unstable operating region. The characteristics of the blade-to-blade flow at rotating stall onset were investigated by measuring unsteady velocity fluctuations at several different diffuser axial distances using a hot wire anemometer. The flow characteristics in terms of the radial and tangential velocity components and the flow angle distribution at the impeller exit were analyzed using phase-locked ensemble averaging techniques. As a result, increase or decrease of the radial velocity component during the rotating stall is dominated by that on the suction side. The radial velocity distributions show the opposite trends in the regions where the radial velocity during rotating stall onset increases and decreases.

In this article, we considered shear-induced microstructure and rheological behavior of micellar solutions of cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in the presence of a structure-forming additive, sodium salicylate (NaSal). Shear viscosity, shear moduli and flow birefringence were measured as functions of the surfactant and additive concentrations. In the presence of NaSal, the micellar solution exhibited the non-linear rheological behavior due to the formation of supramolecular structures when the molar ratio of NaSal to CPC exceeded a certain threshold value. Flow birefringence probed the change in micelle alignment under shear flow. At low shear rates, the flow birefringence increased as the shear rate increased. On the other hand, fluctuation of flow birefringence appeared from the shear rate near the onset of shear thickening, which was caused by shear-induced coagulation or aggregation. These results were confirmed by the SEM images of in situ gelified micelle structure through sol-gel route.

As a follow-up of our previous studies on flow-induced forces on two identical nearby circular cylinders immersed in the cross flow at Re=100 and flow patterns past them,$^{(1,2)}$ we present Reynolds-number effects on the forces and patterns by further computing flows with Re=40, 50, 160. We consider all possible arrangements of the two circular cylinders in terms of the distance between the two cylinders and the angle inclined with respect to the main flow direction. Collecting all the numerical results obtained, we propose contour diagrams for mean force coefficients and their rms of fluctuation as well as for flow patterns and Strouhal number for each Re. These diagrams shed light on a comprehensive picture on how the wake interaction between the two cylinders alters depending on Re.

Hard disk drived (HDD) in computer are used extensively as data storage capacity. The trend in the computer industry to produce smaller disk drives rotating at higher speeds requires an improved understanding of fluid motion in the space between disks. The distribution of pressure disturbance on disks has relation to flow structure. To investigate the flow structure, time-resolved hot-wire measurements of the circumferential velocity component were obtained for the flow between the center pair of four disks of common radius $R_2$ coretating at angular velocity ${\Omega}$ in a fixed cylindrical enclosure. Hot-wire supporter acts as an obstruction in this case. The effects of rotating speed and size of hot-wire supporter diameter between disks on the flow driven by disks were investigated. Velocity spectra at the fixed space were measured to obtain the structure of inner and outer region in flow field.
