In this paper, aerodynamic effects on the flow field under the wing with varying aspect ratio were investigated by measuring pressures on the lower surface of wing and analysing velocity components using Particle Image Velocimetry at Reynolds numbers of $1.384{\times}10^5$ and $2.306{\times}10^5$. In case of aspect ratio 4.8 which keeps the wing tip at a distance of 80% chord length from the pylon, the vortex from the wing tip influenced the flow field under the wing by reducing static pressures on the lower surface and increasing the velocity in proximity of the wing tip. Throughout the results, it is observed that aerodynamic effects of wing tip on the flow field around pylon under wing become insignificant as the aspect ratio increases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics around underwater triangular structure with various inclination and Reynolds number. A flow fields around the triangular structure model were measured by visualization method and PIV in the circulating water channel. The result of the experiment is where the triangular structure that has a inclination of $45^{\circ}$ and the reynolds number at $Re=2.9{\times}10^3$ showed rising velocity component to 2.7 times of the structure height. When the reynolds number is steady and when the inclination is greater the descending velocity component of the structure's rears current form is greatly shown and for the areas where it's more than y/hs=1.75 has a change in the angle of inclination but it doesn't give a great effect to it.

The combustion characteristics of methane/hydrogen pre-mixed flame have been investigated with swirl stabilized flame in a laboratory-scale pre-mixed combustor with constant heat load of 5.81 kW. Hydrogen/methane fuel and air were mixed in a pre-mixer and introduced to the combustor through a burner nozzle with different degrees of swirl angle. The effects of hydrogen addition and swirl intensity on the combustion characteristics of pre-mixed methane flames were examined using particle image velocimetry (PIV), micro-thermocouples, various optical interference filters and gas analyzers to provide information about flow velocity, temperature distributions, and species concentrations of the reaction field. The results show that higher swirl intensity creates more recirculation flow, which reduces the temperature of the reaction zone and, consequently, reduces the thermal NO production. The distributions of flame radicals (OH, CH, C₂) are dependent more on the swirl intensity than the percentage of hydrogen added to methane fuel. The NO concentration at the upper part of the reaction zone is increased with an increase in hydrogen content in the fuel mixture because higher combustibility of hydrogen assists to promote faster chemical reaction, enabling more expansion of the gases at the upper part of the reaction zone, which reduces the recirculation flow. The CO concentration in the reaction zone is reduced with an increase in hydrogen content because the amount of C content is relatively decreased.

The flow around a foil with waterjet was investigated using the two-frame PIV(CACTUS 3.1) system. After separation, unsteady recirculation & reattachment region was shown as a result at reading edge. Separation area was decreased to 1/3 more by waterjet system with coanda effect. Angle of attack and waterjet velocity was a variable in the experiment. Each parameters was controlled to $0^{\circ}{\sim}35^{\circ}$ and 0[m/s]${\sim}$9.2[m/s]. The separation of flow appearanced at first when the angle of attack is $17^{\circ}{\sim}18^{\circ}$. However, according to grew up of velocity, beginning of the separation was delayed. In this experiment, vortex and separation region was disappeared by blown when each parameters are low level, and separation controlled more certainly.

The free surface influenced the wake behind a circular cylinder and its effects were investigated experimentally in a circulating water channel with the variation of water depth. Instantaneous velocity fields were measured in this paper. The measured results has been compared with each other to investigate the flow characteristics of the circular cylinder's 2-dimensional section at $Re=1.0{\times}10^3$ using 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method. The flow around the circular cylinder with free surface affected the wake structure. Especially, in case of d=1.0D, the boundary layer was measured in the whole area. The separation point and boundary layer of the circular cylinder could be controlled by the water depth.

An open water rudder test was carried out to figure out the flow characteristics around a twin rudder at $Re=1.5{\times}10^4$. In the analysis, the unique characteristics of a twin rudder, which affects rudder forces, were explained. The analysis includes varying angles of attack from 10 to 30 degrees. In this paper, the measured results have been compared with each other to predict the performance characteristics of a twin rudder's 2-dimensional section by 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method. The length L=0.75C between upper and lower rudders could be defined as the critical length.

The results of experimental investigation of coherent structures beneath wind-generated waves in deep water are presented. Vorticity fields of deepwater wind waves were visualized by analyzing the velocity fields obtained by PIV measurements under different wind and fetch conditions. In addition, spatio-temporal evolution of the coherent structures and subsequent changes in vertical profiles of the instantaneous vorticity were qualitatively examined. It was found that a coherent structure is formed right underneath the wave crest and traveled in phase with the surface wave. The direction of rotation of the coherent structure was contrary to the wave orbital motion when wind speed is less than 10 m/s, while was same as the wave orbital motion when wind speed is approximately 13 m/s and wave breaking occurs at the wave crest. In the near-surface region, complex vortex-vortex interactions were observed according to the traveling of the coherent structure. In contrast, coherent structures far below the water surface changed little due to weak influence of orbital motion by the surface waves.

개수로에서 혹은 수리구조물 주변에서의 흐름 및 난류 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 연직유속분포 및 수심별 평면유속분포의 측정이 필요하다. 유속분포를 측정하기 위한 방법은 음파 도플러 유속계(ADV:Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry)를 사용하는 방법과 PIV 기법을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 일반적으로 ADV는 한 지점의 유속을 시간변화에 따라 연속적으로 측정할 수 있어 난류특성의 정량적인 해석에 장점이 있으나 동시간에 여러 지점을 측정할 수 없기 때문에 난류의 공간적인 문제를 해석함에 있어서 한계가 있다. 그러나, 입자영상유속계(PIV:Particle Image Velocity)는 측정하고자 하는 단면에서 연직 횡단면의 유속분포 및 수심별 평면 유속분포 흐름장 측정이 가능하여 난류흐름의 공간적인 문제를 해석하는데 효과적일 뿐만 아니라 영상간의 시간간격을 짧게 하고, 촬영시간을 충분히 길게 한다면 개수로 내 난류특성 분석도 가능하다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 PIV 기법을 이용하여 매끄러운 하상의 개수로에서 연직유속분포를 측정하고 그 특성을 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 첫째, PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포와 3차원 전자식 유속계를 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포를 비교 분석하였다. 둘째, 후류법칙에 의해 계산된 연직유속분포와 PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속분포의 비교를 위해 각각의 무차원 유속분포(지점 유속/지점 마찰속도)를 계산하고 비교하였다. 마지막으로 각 흐름 조건에 따라 수심의 변화를 주어 연직유속분포를 PIV 기법으로 측정한 후 개수로의 수심변화에 따른 연직유속의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, PIV 기법을 이용하여 측정한 연직유속 성분에 비해 3차원 전자식 유속계로 측정한 연직유속 성분이 작게 나타났고 바닥에서부터 0.2h 지점까지는 무차원 유속분포(지점 유속/지점 마찰속도)가 후류법칙과 잘 맞는 경향을 보였으나 0.2h 지점부터 수표면까지는 유속이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다.

An experiment was carried out to figure out the instantaneous flow characteristics in the wake of the transom stern's 2-dimensional section by 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method at $Re=3.5{\times}103$, $Re=7.0{\times}103$. The stern angles of models were learning at $45^{\circ}$(Model "A"), $90^{\circ}$(Model "B") and $135^{\circ}$(Model "C") respectively based on the survey results of real ships. The depth of wetted surface is 40mm from free surface. As Reynolds number increases, vortices increase in volume and move their way to the downstream. Flow separation appeared at the end of model's bottom.

The main purpose in having a control surface on a ship is to control the motion of it. It is the important element to determine the maneuvering characteristics of the ship. In this paper, the measured results has been compared with each other to predict the performance characteristics of flapped rudder's 2-dimensional section at $Re=3.0{\times}10^4$ using 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV method. The side force of the rudder could be mainly improved by the lift force at 10 degrees angle of attack and the drag force at 20 degrees angle of attack. The separation point and boundary layer could be controlled by the change of the only flap's angle at 10 degrees angle of attack.
