The internal flow field in a centrifugal pump working at the several flow conditions has been measured by using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique with the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) particles and the refractive index matched (RIM) facilities. The impeller of the centrifugal pump has an outlet diameter in 100mm, and consists of six two-dimensional curvature backward swept blades of constant thickness. Measured results give reliable flow patterns in the pump. It is obvious that application of LIF particle and RIM are the key methods to obtain the right PIV measured results in pump internal flow.

The characteristics of flow in dividing regions are precise, therefore their classification is very important not only in industry but also in hydrodynamics. By now, many studies of flow in dividing regions have been peformed, but flow characteristics that use visualization In dividing regions have not been studied. The present study of the PIV and the CFD exhibit average velocity distributions, kinetic energy distributions and total pressure distributions etc of the total flow field due to the development of the accurate visualization optical laser and of optical equipment. Also, PIV is accurate with the flows characteristics of the dividing region as continuous analysis is done using input equipment. The study analyzes velocity vector field, turbulence kinetic energy, turbulence viscosity of dividing regions with flow for visualization of the PIV and the CFD measurement in a dividing rectangular ducts.

Air flow inside an automotive HVAC module has been investigated using a high-resolution PIV technique with varying the temperature operation mode. The PIV system consists of a 2-head Nd:YAG laser (125 mJ), a high-resolution CCD camera (2K$\times$2K), optics and a synchronizer. A real automotive HVAC module was used directly under real operating condition. Some casing parts of the HVAC module were replaced with transparent windows for capturing clear flow images with laser light sheet beam illumination. Time-averaged velocity fields were obtained for two different temperature control modes. Flow characteristics of the air-conditioned air flow inside the automotive HVAC system for the two temperature baffle conditions were evaluated.

두 개의 평판이 직각으로 만나는 corner에서 형성되는 층류 경계층을 입자영상유속계 기법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 자유류 유속은 2.96 ~ 3.0 m/s, 층류 경계층이 형성 될 수 있도록 모델에 대한 유동의 입사각을 1.2도로 하여 작은 순 압력구배를 제공하였다. 모델의 앞전은 둥근 형상으로 처리하였으며 모델의 길이는 약 1000mm이다. 측정 결과는 이등분면에서 corner 경계층의 전형적인 특징인 변곡점을 가지는 박리형 속도 분포를 보여주었다. 이등분면에서 멀어져 감에 따라 속도 분포는 평판의 Blasius 분포로 변해가고, 이등분면 경계층 두께의 약 절반만큼 평판을 따라 멀어지면 변화가 완료된다. 앞전에서부터 하류로 감에 따라 이등분면에서의 경계층 성장 및 속도 분포의 유사 상사성을 측정 결과로부터 확인하였다.

본 연구는 고성능 전개판을 개발하기 위하여 전개판 주변의 유동장을 계측할 수 있는 해석 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 실험 방법으로는 CFD를 이용한 유동장의 수치 해석과 유동장의 정량적, 정성적 계측이 가능한 PIV 실험방법을 사용하였다. 본 실험에서는 전개판 주변의 가시화된 영상을 PIV 기법을 이용한 화상처리로 유동특성을 해석하였으며, 이 결과를 CFD에 의한 해석 결과와 유동 패턴을 비교하였다. 또한, 회류 수조에서의 양력 계수 및 항력계수의 계측 결과를 상호 비교 하였다. 그 결과, 수치 해석된 결과와 PIV의 실험 결과는 정성적으로 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 물리적으로 타당성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 전개판의 유동장 분석을 위하여 레이저 광원을 이용한 가시화 실험을 실시하고, PIV 기법으로 화상분석을 실시하였으며, 유동입자의 흐름으로도 충분한 정성적인 유체운동의 경향을 파악할 수 있었다 (2) PIV해석결과가 정량적인 결과이므로 이를 다양한 후처리 방법을 통해 속도벡터장, 순간 유동장, 평균 와도로 나타내어 유동장의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. (3) 최대전개력계수가 나타난 영각 24$^{\circ}$에서 비교한 CFD와 PIV 해석 결과, 유동 패턴은 유사하였고, 두 경우 모두 전개판 후연에서 약간의 경계층 박리가 발생하였으나 양호한 흐름을 보였다. (4) PIV에 의한 속도 벡터도, 순간 유선도, 평균 와도로 후처리한 결과, 영각 24$^{\circ}$에서부터 경계층 박리 현상이 일어나기 시작하여, 영각 28$^{\circ}$이상이 되면 심하게 전연으로 발생지점이 이동하게 되고, 그 폭도 확대됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The vortex flow characteristics of a double-delta wing, which can change the incidence angle of its apex strake was investigated through the wing-surface pressure measurement and the particle image velocimetry(PIV) measurement of the wing-leeward flow region. The apex strake has sharp edges and can change its incidence angle with a hinge line at the 23% chord position measured from the apex of the main wing. The present study revealed that the incidence-angle change of the apex strake could greatly alter the vortex flow pattern around the double-delta wing and the wing-surface pressure distribution, which suggested that the apex strake could be used as an effective device for the active control of delta-wing vortex flow.

In this study, flow field measurement of the Pebble Bed Reactor(PBR) for the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor(HTGR) was performed. Large number of pebbles in the core of PBR provides complicated flow channel. Due to the complicated geometries, numerical analysis has been intensively made rather than experimental observation. However, the justification of computational simulation by the experimental study is crucial to develop solid analysis of design method. In the present study, a wind tunnel installed with pebbles stacked was constructed and equipped with the Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). We designed the system scaled up to realize the room temperature condition according to the similarity. The PIV observation gave us stagnation points, low speed region so that the suspected high temperature region can be identified. With the further supplementary experimental works, the present system may produce valuable data to justify the Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation method.

Flow rate measurement is one of the difficult problems in the industrial applications. Especially, flow rate in a partially filled pipeline is affected by many parameters such as water level, channel slop, etc. In the present study, prior to the development of a flowmeter, the flow characteristics has been investigated by particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements. Three-dimensional velocity distributions were obtained from sectional measurements of velocity profiles according to the water level. As a result, it is found that there is no similarity in the velocity profile when the lateral position is changed. In addition, the maximum velocity does not always occur on the free surface. It depends on the water level. In the aspect of flow rate measurement, the previous calculus based upon point measurement techniques is proved to be inaccurate because of the lack of whole flow information.

Variations of temperature and velocity fields in a Hele-Shaw convection cell (HSC) were investigated using a holographic interferometry and 2-D PIV system with varying Rayleigh number. To measure quasi-steady variation of temperature field, two different measurement methods of holographic interferometry, double-exposure method and real-time method, were employed. In the double-exposure method, unwanted waves were eliminated effectively using a digital image processing technique. The reconstructed images are clear, but transient flow cannot be reconstructed clearly. On the other hand, transient convective flow can be reconstructed well using the real-time method. However, the fringe patterns reconstructed by the real-time method contain more noises, compared with the double-exposure method. Experimental results show a steady flow pattern at low Rayleigh numbers and a time-dependent periodic flow structure at high Rayleigh numbers. The periodic flow pattern at high Rayleigh numbers obtained by the real-time holographic interferometer method is in a good agreement with the PIV results.

Flow characteristics inside a blower unit of an automotive HVAC module were investigated experimentally using a high-resolution PIV technique. The PIV system consists of a 2-head Nd:YAG laser, a high-resolution CCD camera, optics and a synchronizer. The prototype siroco-fan with forward-curved blades was operated under the same condition of real car. The scroll casing was made transparently for capturing clear flow images. The time-averaged velocity fields were measured in three cross sections. Flow is accelerated with going toward the outer wall of scroll due to centrifugal force and large pressure gradient formed in the region between the fan and the outer casing wall. The presence of the cut-off region and diffusing duct of fan outlet influences largely the flow structure inside the blower unit.
