Homogeneous and isotropic turbulence (HIT) with no mean flow is a very useful type of flow for basic turbulence research. However, it is difficult to generate HIT in the lab. In this study, we implemented HIT in a confined box through synthetic jet actuators using sub-woofer speakers. Characteristics of HIT are varied depending on the strength of the jets. We used 2D PIV to measure the velocity field. Turbulence statistics such as homogeneity, isotropy ratio, turbulence kinetic energy, dissipation rate, Taylor microscale, Kolmogorov scale, and velocity correlation coefficient were calculated. Most of the turbulence statistics increased exponentially according to the strength of the jets, and the Taylor Reynolds number reached up to 185.

The objective of this study is to analyse the spray characteristics according to the injection duration under the ambient pressure condition, and the injection timing in the visualization engine. In order to investigate the spray behavior, we obtained the spray velocity using the PIV method that has been an useful optical diagnostics technology, and calculated the vorticity from spray velocity component. These results elucidated the relationship between vorticity and entropy which play an important role in the diffusion process for the early injection case and the stratification process for the late injection case. In addition, we quantified the homogeneous diffusion rate of spray using the entropy analysis based on the Boltzmann's statistical thermodynamics. Using these method, it was found that the concentration of spray droplets caused by the increase of injection duration is more effective than the increase of momentum dissipation. We also found that the homogeneous diffusion rate increased as the injection timing moved to the early intake stroke process and BTDC $50^{\circ}$ was the most efficient injection timing for the stratified mixture formation during the compression stroke.

The passive control methods such as horizontal and vertical fences on the lower surface of the bluff body were applied to suppress the vortex shedding and enhance the aerodynamic stability of flow. For investigating the effects of the passive control methods, wind tunnel experiments on the unsteady flow field around a bluff body near a moving ground were performed. The boundary layer and velocity profiles were measured by the Hot Wire Anemometer (HWA) system and the vortex shedding patterns and flow structures in a wake region were visualized via the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. Also, it is a measuring on moving ground condition that the experimental values of the critical gap distances, Strouhal numbers and aerodynamic force FFT analyses. Through the experiments, we found that the momentum supply due to moving ground caused the vortex shedding at the lower critical gap distance rather than that of fixed ground. The horizontal and vertical fences increase the critical gap distance and it can suppress the vortex shedding. Consequently, the stability characteristics of the bluff body near a moving ground could be effectively enhanced by the simple passive control such as the vertical fences.

차세대 원자로(KNGR : Korea Next Generation Reactor)에는 새로운 안전개념으로서 피동형 안전주입탱크(Safety Injection Tank. SIT)의 도입을 고려하고 있는데, 이러한 피동형 유량조절기능은 안전주입탱크내의 유체기구(Fluidic device)인 볼텍스챔버(vortex chamber)에 의해 이루어진다. 볼텍스챔버는 내부에서 발생되는 와류강도에 따라 유동저항의 강도가 달라짐을 이용하여 유량을 피동적으로 조절할 수 있는 유체기구이다. 본 연구에서는 볼텍스챔버의 유동특성을 관찰하기 위하여 소규모 실험장치를 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 두 단계로 수행되었다. 제1단계 실험에서는 볼텍스챔버의 기하학적 특성이 안전주입탱크의 안전주입수 방출특성에 미치는 영향에 대한 거시적 관점에서의 연구로서. 볼텍스챔버의 기하학적 변수(유입구 및 방출구의 직경)가 안전주입수의 방출과정에서 발생되는 SIT 내의수위 거동, 안전주입수의 방출유량 특성등에 미치는 영향에 대해 중점적으로 고찰하였다 제2단계 실험에서는 1단계 실험에서 관찰된 안전주입탱크의 여러 가지 방출특성과 볼텍스챔버 내부 유동장의 유동특성과의 관련성을 규명하기 위해 PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)를 이용하여 볼텍스챔버의 기하학적 변수에 따른 유동장 내부의 국소 유속분포를 측정하였다.

최근 도시지역의 불투수율 증가로 인한 유역의 도달시간 감소와 첨두유출량이 증가함에 따라 내수침수 잠제 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 우수배제 시스템의 수방능력 향상을 위한 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에는 건설부지 확보의 문제와 비용적인 문제 등의 현실적인 현계들이 있다. 따라서 기존에 설치되어 있는 빗물펌프장의 배수효율을 증대시킬 수 있다면 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 따른 과도한 예산지출을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 빗물펌프장의 배수효율은 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 얼마나 잘 제어하느냐에 따라 크게 달라진다. 만약 흡입부 내에 강한 와류가 존재한다면, 흡입관 주위에서 선회류를 유발시켜 펌프 효율을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 따라서 펌프 운영 시 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 제어하기 위하여 와류발생 저감장치(Anti Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류를 제어하는 방법을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 국 내외 빗물펌프장 설계기준에서 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 정량적인 효과는 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry)를 이용하여 와류발생 저감장치가 펌프 흡수조에 설치되었을 때 흐름특성 및 와도분포 분석을 통해 와류발생 저감장치의 형태에 따른 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 그 결과 와류발생 저감장치를 설치 한 후 흐름개선효과를 확인하였다.

The flow characteristics of a circular cylinder surrounded by an outer permeable cylinder were experimentally investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry Technique in deep water flow. In order to consider the effects of diameter and porosity of the outer cylinder on flow structures of the inner cylinder, five different outer cylinder diameters (D=37.5, 52.5, 60, 75 and 90 mm) and eight different porosities (${\beta}$=0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8 and 0.85) were selected. During the experiments, the diameter of inner cylinder was kept constant as d=30 mm. The depth-averaged free-stream velocity was adjusted as U=0.156 m/s, which corresponds to the Reynolds number of Re=5000 based on the inner cylinder diameter. It has been concluded that both the outer permeable cylinder diameter and the porosity have important influences on the attenuation of vortex shedding in the wake region. The presence of outer permeable cylinder decreases the magnitude of Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy compared to the bare cylinder case. Moreover, the spectral analysis of vortex shedding frequency has revealed that the dominant frequency of vortex shedding downstream of the cylinder arrangement also reduces substantially due to the weakened Karman shear layer instability.

The crossflow is the key phenomenon in turbulent flow inside rod bundles. In order to establish confidence on application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the crossflow in rod bundles, three Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) models i.e. the realizable k-ε model, the k-ω SST model and the Reynolds stress model (RSM), and the Large Eddy simulations (LES) with the Wall-Adapting Local Eddy-viscosity (WALE) model are validated based on the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow measurement experiment in a 5 × 5 rod bundle. In order to investigate effects of periodic boundary condition in the gap, the numerical results obtained with four inner subchannels are compared with that obtained with the whole 5 × 5 rod bundle. The results show that periodic boundaries in the gaps produce strong errors far downstream of the spacer grid, and therefore the full 5 × 5 rod bundle should be simulated. Furthermore, it can be concluded, that the realizable k-ε model can only provide reasonable results very close to the spacer grid, while the other investigated models are in good agreement with the experimental data in the whole downstream flow in the rod bundle. The LES approach shows superiority to the RANS models.

The bond strength between composite laminates and concrete is a key factor that controls the behavior of concrete members strengthened with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, which can be affected by several parameters such as thermal stresses and surface preparation. This article presents the result of an experimental study on the bond strength between FRP sheets and concrete at ambient temperature after specimens had been exposed to elevated temperatures of up to $200^{\circ}C$. For this purpose, 30 specimens of plain concrete with dimensions of $150{\times}150{\times}350mm$ were prepared. Three different conventional surface preparation methods (sandblasting, wire brushing and hole drilling) were considered and compared with a new efficient method (fiber implantation). Deformation field during each experiment was monitored using particle image velocimetry. The results showed that, the specimens which were prepared by conventional surface preparation methods, preserved their bond integrity when exposed to temperature below glass transition temperature of epoxy resin (about $60^{\circ}C$). Beyond this temperature, the bond strength and stiffness decreased significantly (about 50%) in comparison with control specimens. However, the specimens prepared by the proposed method displayed higher bond strengths of up to 32% and 90% at $25^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study investigated heat transfer and flow characteristics of a sweeping jet issued from a rectangular nozzle with a thin plate. A thin vertical aluminum plate was attached on outlet of fluidic oscillator to increase velocity of central area with Coanda effect and enhance heat transfer performance. From visualization and PIV experiments, sweeping jet with a thin plate has larger velocity distribution in center region than that of the normal sweeping jet while oscillating frequency is similar as the normal one. Thermographic phosphor thermometry method was used to visualize the temperature field and Nu distribution of plate with impinging sweeping jet with thin plate. Four Reynolds numbers and three jet-to-wall distances were selected as parameters. It is found that heat transfer performance in the low jet-to-wall spacing was enhanced as the cooled area was expanded. However, when the jet-to-wall spacing became greater than 8dh, heat transfer performance became similar due to reduced impinging velocity.

Water vapor has received worldwide large attention due to its broad technological implications ranged from resource production and environmental remediation. Especially, one of the typical areas where the water vapor is important is the removal of PM (particulate matter) which causes a critical hazard to human health. However, most vapor-based PM removal methods are limited in removing PM2.5 by using relatively large water droplets and consume large energy. Here, we propose a superhydrophilic thermally-insulated macroporous membrane to generate steam flow. The water vapor directly captures PM with steam flow and hygroscopic characteristic of PM. The steam, the cluster of water vapor, from the membrane gives rise to high removal efficiencies compared to those of the control case without light illumination. To reveal PM removal mechanism, the steam flow and PM were quantitatively analyzed using PIV measurement. The proposed steam generator could be utilized as an economical and ecofriendly platform for effective PM removal at a fairly low cost in a sustainable, energy-free, and harmless-to-human manner.
