The effects of secondary flow on the structure of a turbulent wake generated by a flat plate was investigated experimentally. The secondary flow was induced In a $90^{\circ}$ curved duct in which the flat plate wake generator was installed. The wake generator was installed in such a way that the wake velocity gradient exists in the span wise direction of the curved duct. Measurements were made in the plane containing the mean radius of curvature where pressure gradient and curvature effects were small compared with the secondary flow effect. All six components of the Reynolds stresses were measured in the curved duct. Turbulence intensities in the curved wake are higher than those in the straight wake due to an increase of the turbulent kinetic energy production by the secondary flow. In the inner wake region, shear stress and strain in the plane containing the velocity gradient of the wake show opposite signs with respect to each other, so that eddy viscosity Is negative in this region. This indicates that gradient-diffusion type turbulence models are not appropriate to simulate this type of flow.

The turbulent shear flow around a surface-mounted vertical fence was investigated using the two-frame PTV system. The Reynolds number based on the fence height(H) was 2950. From this study, it is revealed that at least 400 instantaneous velocity field data are required for ensemble average to get reliable turbulence statistics, but only 100 field data are sufficient for the time-averaged mean velocity information. Various turbulence statistics such as turbulent intensities, turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress were calculated from 700 instantaneous velocity vector fields. The fence flow has an unsteady recirculation region behind the fence, followed by a slow relaxation to the flat-plate boundary layer flow. The time-averaged reattachment length estimated from the streamline distribution is about 11.2H. There exists a region of negative Reynolds shear stress near the fence top due to the highly convex (stabilizing) streamline-curvature of the upstream flow. The large eddy structure in the separated shear layer seems to have significant influence on the development of the separated shear layer and the reattachment process.

핵연료봉의 정방형 또는 삼각형 배열내의 2차 난류 유동의 해석은 연료봉내의 온도분포와 열전달 과정의 해석에 있어서 중요한 문제이다. 비등방성 난류모델과 등방성 난류모델을 사용하여 속 도장을 구하였고 열수력학적 성질이 일정하다는 가정하에 지배방정식을 유한 요소법을 사용하여 수치해석적인 방법으로 해를 구하였다. 또한 연료봉 표면 근처에서는 유체의 유동이 난류가 아니기 때문에 축 방향 속도는 벽의 법칙에 의해서 계산하였다. 이러한 방법에 의해서 구해진 해는 실험 결과와 비교되었고 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

This study investigates effects of three different parameterizations of vertical mixing scheme on upper ocean simulation of the East Sea, focusing on the seasonal variations of the sea surface temperature(SST) and the mixed layer depth(MLD) using an ocean general circulation model(GFDL MOM1.1). The considered vertical mixing schemes are the Laplacian scheme(L scheme) that use a constant eddy coefficient, the Mellor-Yamada scheme(MY scheme), and a new scheme(Noh scheme). The Noh scheme, a second-order turbulence closure, was developed considering recent observational evidences such as the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy near the sea surface. During summer L scheme underestimates the SST, while MY scheme overestimates the SST, compared to climatological SST. Noh scheme produces the SST in better agreement with climatological one. During winter all schemes overestimate the SST up to $4^{\circ}C$ compared to climatological SST. Vertical profiles of the basin-mean temperature show that L scheme produces higher temperature below the thermocline than those of other schemes. The winter MLD simulated from L scheme is rather large compared to that from other schemes, but the differences in MLD during summer are not significant.

Anisotropic distribution of the turbulent kinetic energy and the near-field excitations are the main causes of the steady state Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV) which could lead to fretting wear damage in vertically arranged supported slender rods. In this article, a combined Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Structural Mechanic (CSM) approach named two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is used to investigate the modal characteristics of a typical rod's vibration. Performance of an Unsteady Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (URANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence models on asymmetric fluctuations of the flow field are investigated. Using the LES turbulence model, any large deformation damps into a weak oscillation which remains in the system. However, it is challenging to use LES in two-way FSI problems from fluid domain discretization point of view which is investigated in this article as the innovation. It is concluded that the near-wall meshes whiten the viscous sub-layer is of great importance to estimate the Root Mean Square (RMS) of FIV amplitude correctly as a significant fretting wear parameter otherwise it merely computes the frequency of FIV.

The BARC flow is studied via Direct Numerical Simulation at a relatively low turbulent Reynolds number, with focus on the geometrical representation of the leading-edge (LE) corners. The study contributes to further our understanding of the discrepancies between existing numerical and experimental BARC data. In a first part, rounded LE corners with small curvature radii are considered. Results show that a small amount of rounding does not lead to abrupt changes of the mean fields, but that the effects increase with the curvature radius. The shear layer separates from the rounded LE at a lower angle, which reduces the size of the main recirculating region over the cylinder side. In contrast, the longitudinal size of the recirculating region behind the trailing edge (TE) increases, as the TE shear layer is accelerated. The effect of the curvature radii on the turbulent kinetic energy and on its production, dissipation and transport are addressed. The present results should be contrasted with the recent work of Rocchio et al. (2020), who found via implicit Large-Eddy Simulations at larger Reynolds numbers that even a small curvature radius leads to significant changes of the mean flow. In a second part, the LE corners are fully sharp and the exact analytical solution of the Stokes problem in the neighbourhood of the corners is used to locally restore the solution accuracy degraded by the singularity. Changes in the mean flow reveal that the analytical correction leads to streamlines that better follow the corners. The flow separates from the LE with a lower angle, resulting in a slightly smaller recirculating region. The corner-correction approach is valuable in general, and is expected to help developing high-quality numerical simulations at the high Reynolds numbers typical of the experiments with reasonable meshing requirements.

Large eddy simulations have been performed within and over different types of urban building arrays. This paper adopted three dimensionless parameters, building frontal area density (${\lambda}_f$) the variation degree of building height (${\sigma}_h$), and the staggered degree of building range ($r_s$), to study the systematic influence of building spacing, height and layout on wind and turbulent characteristics. The following results have been achieved: (1) As ${\lambda}_f$ decrease from 0.25 to 0.18, the mean flow patterns transfer from "skimming" flow to "wake interference" flow, and as ${\lambda}_f$ decrease from 0.06 to 0.04, the mean flow patterns transfer from "wake interference" flow to "isolated roughness" flow. With increasing ${\lambda}_f$, wind velocity within arrays increases, and the vortexes in front of low buildings would break, even disappear, whereas the vortexes in front of tall buildings would strengthen and expand. Tall buildings have greater disturbance on wind than low buildings do. (2) All the wind velocity profiles and the upstream profile converge at the height of 2.5H approximately. The decay of wind velocity within the building canopy was in positive correlation with ${\lambda}_f$ and $r_s$. If the height of building arrays is variable, Macdonald's wind velocity model should be modified through introducing ${\sigma}_h$, because wind velocity decreases at the upper layers of the canopy and increases at the lower layers of the canopy. (3) The maximum of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) always locates at 1.2 times as high as the buildings. TKE within the canopy decreases with increasing ${\lambda}_f$ and $r_s$ but the maximum of TKE are very close though ${\sigma}_h$ varies. (4) Wind velocity profile follows the logarithmic law approximately above the building canopy. The Zero-plane displacement $z_d$ heighten with increasing ${\lambda}_f$, whereas the maximum of and Roughness length $z_0$ occurs when ${\lambda}_f$ is about 0.14. $z_d$ and $z_0$ heighten linearly with ${\sigma}_h$ and $r_s$, If ${\sigma}_h$ is large enough, $z_d$ may become higher than the average height of buildings.

준관성주기파(NIW)는 주로 바람에 의해 생성되며, 해양 연직혼합에 중요한 요소이다. 태풍의 빠른 풍속과 이동경로에 따른 풍향변화는 NIW 생성에 충분한 조건을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 동해 실시간 해황예보모형 출력자료를 이용하여 태풍의 영향으로 인한 NIW의 생성과 분포 그리고 동해 중규모 소용돌이가 NIW의 심층 전파에 주는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 이용한 출력자료 기간은 2013년부터 2017년까지 총 5개년이며, 이 기간 중 동해에 강한 NIW에너지를 만든 3개 태풍(할롱, 고니, 차바)에 초점을 맞추었다. 태풍에 의한 NIW 변동을 검토하기 위하여 강제력으로 작용하는 태풍의 바람에너지유입(${\bar{W}}_I$)과 함께 NIW 에너지의 지표인 혼합층 및 심층 수평운동에너지(${\bar{HKE}}_{MLD}$, ${\bar{HKE}}_{DEEP}$)를 계산하였다. ${\bar{HKE}}_{MLD}$는 ${\bar{W}}_I$와 밀접한 관련을 보였으며 태풍 경로의 오른편에서 강하게 나타났다. ${\bar{HKE}}_{DEEP}$는 주로 동해 남부에서 패치형태로 강하게 나타났으며, 음의 상대 소용돌이도를 가지는 난수성 소용돌이와의 상관성이 확인되었다. NIW에너지에 태풍이 주는 영향을 확인하기 위해, 태풍이 없는 여름철과 12월의 에너지와 상호 비교하였다. 그 결과, 태풍에 의한 ${\bar{HKE}}_{MLD}$는 태풍이 없는 여름에 비해 2.5~5.7배, NIW가 가장 큰 12월 평균대비 0.4~1.0배였고, 태풍에 의한 ${\bar{HKE}}_{DEEP}$는 태풍이 없는 여름대비 1.2~1.6배, 12월 평균대비 0.8~1.0배로 태풍에 의한 NIW가 혼합층과 심층의 해양 연직혼합 모두에 상당한 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The surface circulation of northern South China Sea (hereafter SCS) for the period 1987-2005 was studied using the data of more than 500 satellite-tracked drifters and wind data from QuikSCAT. The mean flow directions in the northern SCS except the Luzon Strait (here after LS) during the periods October_March was southwestward, and $April{\sim}September$ northeastward. A strong northwestward intrusion of the Kuroshio through the LS appears during the $October{\sim}March$ period of northeasterly wind, but the intrusion became weak between April and September. When the strong intrusion occurred, the eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the LS was $388cm^2/s^2$ which was almost 2 times higher than that during the weak-intrusion season. The volume transport of the Kuroshio in the east of the Philippines shows an inverse relationship to that of the LS. There is a six-month phase shift between the two seasonal phenomena. The volume transport in the east of the Philippines shows its peak sis-month earlier faster than that of the LS. The strong Kuroshio intrusion is found to be also related to the seasonal variation of the wind stress curl generated by the north easterly wind. The negative wind stress curl in the northern part of LS induces an anticyclonic flow, while the positive wind stress curl in the southern part of LS induces a cyclonic flow. The northwestward Kuroshio intrusion in the northern part of LS happened with larger negative wind stress curl, while the westward intrusion along $20.5^{\circ}N$ in the center of the LS occurred with weaker negative wind stress curl.

본 연구에서는 식생된 개수로에서의 난류 구조와 부유사 이동을 수치모의하였다. 난류폐합식으로는 $\textsc{k}-\;\varepsilon$ 난류모형을 사용하였다. 수치모의를 통해 평균유속, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력, 난류에너지 생성 및 소멸의 분포를 계산하였으며, 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 식생에 의한 항력으로 인하여 평균유속이 전반적으로 감소되었으며, 이에 따라 난류강도와 레이놀즈 응력의 분포 역시 약화되었다. 침수식생의 경우, 식생높이보다 높은 구간에서는 전단에 의한 난류에너지 생성이 지배적이며, 식생높이 보다 낮은 구간에서는 후류에 의한 난류에너지 생성이 지배적임을 확인하였다. 또한 정수식생의 경우, 전채 수심에 걸쳐 후류에 의한 난류에너지 생성이 지배적으로 발생하였다. 대체적으로 수치모의에 의한 결과가 실험값과 유사한 양상을 보이는 것이 확인되었다. 수치모형으로부터 계산된 난류동점성계수 분포를 이용하여 부유사 보존방정식을 수치해석하였다. 식생된 개수로에서의 부유사 농도는 일반 개수로에 비해 전 수심에 걸쳐 균일하게 분포하였다. 또한 식생밀도가 증가할수록 부유사량은 감소하며, 동일한 식생밀도에 대해서는 입자의 크기가 작을수록 부유사량이 증가함을 확인하였다.
