The drag and heat transfer reduction phenomena and degradation effects of drag reducing polymer solutions which are known as the viscoelastic fluids are investigated experimentally for the turbulent circular tube flows. Two stainless steel tubes are used for the experimental flow loops. Aqueous solutions of Polyacrylamide Separan AP-273 with concentrations from 300 to 1000 wppm are used as working fluids. Flow loops are set up to measure the friction factors and heat transfer coefficients of test tubes in the once-through system and the recirculating flow system. Test tubes are heated by power supply directly to apply constant heat flux boundary conditions on the wall. Capillary tube viscometer and falling ball viscometer are used to measure the viscous characteristics of fluids and the characteristic relaxation time of a fluid is determined by the Powell-Eyring model. The order of magnidude of the thermal entrance length of a drag reducing polymer solution is close to the order of magnitude of the laminar entrance length of Newtonian fluids. Dimensionless heat transfer coefficients of the viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluids may be represented as a function of flow behavior index n and newly defined viscoelastic Graetz number. As degradation continues viscosity and the characteristic relaxation time of the testing fluids decrease and heat transfer coefficients increase. The characteristic relaxation time is used to define the Weissenberg number and variations of friction factors and heat transfer coefficients due to degradation are presented in terms of the Weissenberg number.

The effect of longitudinal thin rectangular riblets aligned with the flow direction on turbulent channel flow has been investigated using direct numerical simulation. The thin riblets have been modeled using the immersed boundary method (IBM) where the velocities at only one set of vertical nodes at the riblets positions are enforced to be zeros. Different spacings, ranging between 11 and 43 wall units, have been simulated aiming at getting the optimum spacing corresponding to the maximum drag reduction while keeping the height/spacing ratio at 0.5. Reynolds number based on the friction velocity ${\mu}_\tau$ and the channel half depth $\delta$ is set to 150. The flow is driven by adjusted pressure gradient so that the mass flow rate is kept constant in all the simulations. This study shows similar trend of the drag ratio to that of the experiments at the different spacings. Also, this research provides an optimum spacing of around 17 wall units leading to maximum drag reduction as experimental data. Explanation of drag increasing/decreasing mechanism is highlighted.

This paper has dealt with the effect of non ionized surfactant and water mixture on drag reduction and heat transfer enhancement in a circular pipe flow with experimentally. The test section was consisted of stainless steel pipe with inside diameter of 16mm. The wire coil was used to increase heat transfer in a pipe and the on ionized surfactant(Oleyl Dihydroxyethyl Amino Oxide, ODEAO) was used to reduce the drag force of water mixture with surfactant. The main parameters of this experiment were diameter and pitch of wire coil and the ratio of test section length and horizontal wire coil length. In this experiment, the acquired results were 1) Drag reduction effect existed in this ODEAO-water mixture, 2) Friction factor and heat transfer were increased with insertion the heat transfer enhancement coil, 3) With increasing of pitch ratio, heat transfer was decreased, and 4) Heat transfer was decreased by the decreasing of inserting coil diameter.

A numerical analysis of a turbulent flow with a 'large-eddy breakup device(LEBU)' was performed to investigate the influence of the device on the drag of underwater vehicle using commercial CFD code, FLUENT. In the present study, the vehicle drag was decomposed to skin-friction coefficient(C_f) and pressure coefficient(C_p). The variation of the vehicle C_f and C_p were observed with changing location of the device and Reynolds number. As a result, the device decreased the vehicle C_f because it suppressed the turbulent characteristics behind the device. The larger Reynolds number, the higher reduction effect when the device was placed in front part of, and near the vehicle. On the other hand, the device increased/decreased the vehicle C_p with increasing/decreasing turbulent kinetic energy at recirculating flow region behind the vehicle. The total drag change by the device was caused by C_p rather than C_f.

Two-phase flow phenomena are observed in many industrial facilities and make much importance of optimum design for nuclear power plant and the liquid transportation system. The particular flow pattern depends on the conditions of pressure, flow velocity, and channel geometry. However, the research on drag reduction in two-phase flow is not intensively investigated. Therefore, experimental investigations have been carried out to analyze the drag reduction and void fraction by polymer addition in the two-phase flow system. We find that the polymer solution changes the characteristic of two-phase flow. The peak position of local void friction moves from tile wall of the pipe to the center of the pipe when polymer concentration increase. And then we predict that it is closely related with the frau reduction.

The environmental elements which naturally occur can result in structural damages and operating faults of vessels under the navigation and mooring. These primary factors are considered as wind, waves and tide. In order to investigate wind shielding effects with respect to wind load conditions between two ships which face the wind directly or slantingly to the wind direction, this numerical simulation was preferred in terms of the variation of wind loads according to different distances, wind velocities and wind directions between two ships. The results were proved to be quite reasonable, comparing with experimental data from Danish Maritime Institute, and the report, "Environmental Conditions And Environmental Loads" published by Det Norske Veritas.

When Automobile runs high velocity, it causes sleepy velocity profile then that generates lift force and drag force. Lift force reduce tire friction force. Drag force increase consumed power. For improve automobile performance, reduction of Lift force and Drag force was seriously considered. It measured experimently using wind tunnel, numerically using numerical analysis. Finite difference method is using difference equation and simplifed mesh. This method require less calculation time and computer power than other method.

A centrifuge model study is carried out to investigate the behavior of pile subject to negative skin friction induced by pile installation, ground water drawdown and surcharge loading. A single end-bearing pile is examined as the induced negative skin friction would induce the most severe stress on the pile structural material as compared to friction piles. In addition, the behavior of the pile under simultaneous negative skin friction and dead/live loads is examined. To facilitate detailed interpretations of the test results, the model setup is extensively instrumented and involves elaborate test control schemes. To further examine the phenomenon of negative skin friction on an end-bearing pile, finite element analyses were conducted. The numerical analysis is first validated against the centrifuge test data and subsequently extended to examine the effects of pile slenderness ratio, surcharge intensity and pile-soil stiffness ratio on the degree of mobilization of negative skin friction induced on the pile. Finally experimental and numerical studies are conducted to examine the effect of applied transient live load on pile subject to negative skin friction.

차 대 보행자 교통사고는 다른 유형의 사고에 비해 피해가 매우 크고 사고의 비중도 높으나 사고의 특성 상 과학적 접근이 어렵다. 기존 보행자 사고에 관한 연구의 대부분은 차 대 보행자의 충돌 실험에 대한 실험식 도출에 집중되어 있고, 실험식에서 중요한 변수로 작용되는 인체 활주 마찰 계수에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 인체와 노면간의 마찰계수에 대한 현장실험을 실시하여 이에 대한 실험값을 측정하여 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 조사된 인체노면 마찰계수 값은 건조한 아스팔트 도로에서 0.59~0.62, 건조한 콘크리트 도로는 0.59~0.61로 측정되었다. 또한, 젖은 아스팔트와 콘크리트 도로에서는 각각 0.56~0.59, 0.51~0.54로 나타나 건조한 노면 상태와 비교하여 5.0%와 8.3% 감소하는 것으로 파악되었다. 도출된 마찰계수를 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 이용하여 검증한 바, 실험 수치와 시뮬레이션 결과가 유사함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과를 활용하여 국내 교통사고 조사 시 사용되는 인체 마찰계수의 적용 값의 범위를 축소할 수 있고, 이는 사고 조사의 정확성 향상에 큰 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

2상 횡 유동은 응축기, 증발기와 원자력의 증기 발생기와 같은 열교환기의 튜브와 셀 사이에 존재한다. 공기/물의 2상 유동에 놓인 관군에 작용하는 항력을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 2상 유동에 놓인 관군은 정사각형 배열이다. 피치 직경 비는 1.35이었고, 실린더의 직경은 18 mm이다. 관군에 유동방향으로 작용하는 항력을 측정하여 항력계수와 2상 유동 감쇠비를 계산하였다. 2상 유동 감쇠비는 균질 2상 유동의 이론식을 사용하여 구하여 실험의 결과와 비교하였다. 압력과 항력의 상관계수를 실험결과를 고려하여 평가하였다. 상관계수는 이론적으로 항력을 계산할 때에 사용된다. 질량유량을 증가할수록 측정된 항력으로부터 구한 항력계수와 감쇠비가 균질 유동의 이론적 결과와 잘 일치함을 보이고 있다. 결과적으로 충분히 큰 질량 유량의 기포 유동인 경우에는 감쇠비를 균질 유동에 근거한 이론식으로 계산할 수 있다.
