In the present paper, viscous flow fields around a wigley hull with appendages are analysed to study interactions between the hull and appendages. Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are solved by a finite volume method in a body-fitted coordinate system which conforms three dimensional ship geometries with appendages. A Sub-Grid Scale(SGS) turbulent model is used for a calculation of high Reynolds number flow. Numerical computations has been done for a Wigley hull form at $Rn=1.0{\times}10^6$. The results show that the present approach can predict, at least in qualitative sense, the influence of the appendages upon the flow field around a ship.

Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically for the computation of turbulent flow around a Wigley double model. A second order finite difference method is applied for the spatial discretization on the nonstaggered grid system and 4-stage Runge-Kutta scheme for the numerical integration in time. In order to increase the time step, residual averaging scheme of Jameson is adopted. Pressure field is obtained by solving the pressure-Poisson equation with the appropriate Neumann boundary condition. For the turbulence closure, 0-equation turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax is used. Numerical computation is carried out for the Reynolds number of 4.5 million. Comparisons of the computed results with the available experimental data show good agreements for the velocity and pressure distributions.

The present numerical study describes the flow physics on the interaction between the supersonic freestream and jet plume. The compressible flow past a simplified afterbody model with a sonic nozzle is investigated using mass-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, discretized by a fully implicit finite volume scheme, and the standard $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model. The results obtained through the present study are discussed specifically regarding the effect of the plume pressure ratio, freestream Mach number and base dimensions on the location of the plume-induced shock wave generated on the afterbody by the underexpansion of the jet plume.

A steady prediction method is presented to compute dynamic damping coefficients for axisymmetric projectiles. Viscous flow analysis is essential to the steady method using a zero-spin coning motion in the inertial coordinate frame. The present method is applied to compute the pitching moment and the pitch-damping moment coefficients for the Army-Navy Spinning Rocket. The results are in good agreement with the parabolized Navier-Stokes data, range data, and unsteady prediction data. Predictions for Secant-Ogive-Cylinder configurations are performed to investigate effects of afterbody geometries. To investigate the geometrical effect and flow physics, the longitudinal developments of the coefficients are examined in detail.

An axisymmetric supersonic jet screech in the Mach number range from 1.07 to 1.2 is numerically simulated. The axisymmetric mode is the dominant screech mode for an axisymmetric jet. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in the conjunction with a modified Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model are employed. A high resolution finite volume essentially non-oscillatory(ENO) schemes are used along with nonreflecting characteristic boundary conditions that are crucial to screech tone computations to accurately capture the sound waves, shock-cell structures and large-scale instability waves.

Flow analysis in a turbine cascade by Euler or Navier-Stokes equation gives relatively accurate solution, however, those method require large computer memory or computing time. on contrast, the panel method， which is applied to incompressible and inviscid flow, provides fast and reasonal solution but the compressibility correction is required for a high air velocity case. In this paper, the compressibility corrected panel method was applied in order to find velocity distribution on turbine blades. Results showed that the calculated velocity in a turbine cascade by the compressibility corrected panel method gave good agreement with experimental results or the solution by finite volume method for compressible flow.

In order to decide the strength requirement of the window glass for the high-speed train, the pressure change during the passage of the EMU type high-speed train has been numerically simulated. Based on the calculation results, the pressure difference between the inner and outer pressure of the cabin has been calculated to yield the amount of load acting on the window glass of the cabin. To simulate the pressure field generated by the high-speed train passing through the tunnel, computational fluid dynamics based on the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equation has been employed. The pressure change inside a train has been calculated using first order difference approximation based on a linear equation between the pressure change ratio inside a train and the pressure difference of inside and outside of the train.

This paper depicts the computational results for the axisymmetric subsonic/sonic ejector systems with a second throat. The numerical simulations are based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme of the compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a domain that extends from the stagnation chamber to the ejector diffuser exit. In order to obtain practical design factors for the subsonic/sonic ejector systems which are applicable to industrial vacuum pumps, the ejector throat area, the mixing section configuration, and the ejector throat length are changed in computations. For the subsonic/sonic ejector systems operating in the range of low operation pressure ratios, the effects of the design factors on the vacuum performance of the secondary chamber are discussed.

An iterative time marching procedure for solving incompressible viscous flows has been applied to the flow around a propeller. This procedure solves three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations on a moving, body-fitted, non-orthogonal grid using first-order accurate scheme for the time deivatives and second-and third-order accurate schemes for the spatial derivatives. To accelerate iterative process, a multigrid technique has been applied. This procedure is suitable for efficient execution on the current generation of vector or massively parallel computer architectures. Generally good agreement with published experimental and numerical data has been obtained. It was also found that the multigrid technique was efficient in reducing the CPU time needed for the simulation and improved the solution quality.
