The effect of swirl on the flow characteristics in a sudden expansion tube was examined experimentally by using 3D PIV(particle image velocimetry) to capture the velocity profiles. The swirling flow of water through a sudden 1:2 axisymmetric expansion has previously been studied experimentally within a horizontal round tube. A kind of tangential slot is used as a swirl generator for swirling flow and a honey comb is used for without swirl flow. The work with the swirl and without swirl results are compared to each other at the same Reynolds number. Liquid crystal was employed to measure temperature profiles and heating coil used for heat transfer with and without swirl flow. And then the Nusselt number ratoes(Nu/Nudb) are calculated along the test section.

It has been known that spray characteristics have an important effect on the mixture formation and directly influence the engine performances and the emissions. Up to now, the measurement of droplet size is well developed such as PDPA and PMAS though the behavior of small droplets during secondary atomization is not clear. Particle image velocimetry(PIV), a planar measuring technique, is a very efficient tool for studying complicated behavior and a fast and reliable method to track numerous droplets during injection. In this study, two-color scanning PIV is designed to obtain quasi-instantaneous two dimensional velocity data by using he-ion laser, rotating mirror and beam splitter. This PIV method which has high temporal and spatial resolution provides the information about the small complex droplet behavior.

The ejector is used to obtain a vacuum state, and it has been applied to a lot of industry field such as a heat engine, a fluid instrument power plant. a food industry, an environment industry etc., because there is no problem even it is mixed with any kind of liquid, gas. and solid. The flow characteristics in the ejector was investigated by a PIV and a CFD. The agreement between numerical analysis and experiment shows the validity of this study and the results of this study would be useful to the engineers who design for the flow systems for heating. ventilation. air conditioning and wastewater purification plants.

Velocity field behind a container ship model with a rotating propeller has been investigated using PIV (particle image velocimetry) system. Four hundred instantaneous velocity fields were measured at 4 different blade phases and ensemble-averaged to investigate the spatial evolution of vortical structure of near wake within one propeller diameter downstream. The phase-averaged mean velocity fields show the potential wake and the viscous wake formed due to the boundary layers developed on the blade surfaces. The interaction between bilge vortex developed along the hull surface and the tangential velocity component of incoming flow causes to have asymmetric flow structure in the transverse plane.

The flow characteristics in a vaneless diffuser with a backswept radial impeller have been experimentally investigated according to the variation of discharge flow rate. Particle image velocimetry(PIV) system was applied to measure velocity fields with several operating conditions and on some diffuser horizontal planes. Pressure transducers were installed on hub wall of the diffuser in order to analyze the pressure fluctuations and their corresponding velocity fields. The results show that the location of the main flow center moves from the hub to the shroud side as the flow rate decreases, and the reverse flow is locally generated on the hub side.

In this study, STAR-CD-based CFD techniques was used to analyze velocity distribution and pressure distribution according to the variation of angels at $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ a suction pipe when inlet velocity condition is 1 m/s. SIMPLE maritime law used for analytical algorithm and the results of CFD analysis evaluated by particle image velocimetry (PIV). The results of CFD analysis in this study have revealed that the optimal angle of a suction pipe for a jet pump is $90^{\circ}$ and the PIV test has showed the same results. Therefore, it is thought that when CFD is used to analyze the flow characteristics of a jet pump it would be possible to produce optimal designs of its devices.

In this paper, we report the experimental and numerical results on spin-up flows in a rectangular container of the aspect ratio 2. The Ekman pumping models used in the numerical study are of 1st- and 2nd- order. We also investigate flows obtained without any pumping model. In the experiment, the classical PIV method is used. It is shown that the results given by the 1st-order and 2nd-order models are in good agreement with the experimental result, whereas the non-pumping model shows a significant discrepancy.

In this study, a scaled model chamber was built to investigate ventilation characteristics of the Under floor Air-conditioning System. Experimental study was performed in model for cargo-oil pump room with inlet and outlet by visualization equipment with laser apparatus. Instant simultaneous velocity vectors at whole field were measured by 2-D PIV system(CACTUS'2000) which adopted two-frame grey-level cross correlation algorithm. The flow pattern reveals the large scale counterclockwise forced-vortex rotation from upside louver to lower scupper toward diagonal corner and also found small eddies at bottom layer

The unsteady flow in three-dimensional cubic cavity with narrow channel at upper region is investigated experimentally for three kinds of Reynolds number, 1*10/sup 4/, 3*10/sup 4/ and 5*10/sup 4/ based on the cavity width and cavity inlet mean flow velocity. Instant velocity vectors are obtained simultaneously at whole field by PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry). Wall pressure distributions are estimated using Poisson equation from the velocity data. Results of PIV reveal that severe unsteady flow fluctuation within the cavity are remarkable at all Reynolds numbers and sheared mixing layer phenomena are also found at the region where inlet driving flow is collided with the clock-wise rotating main primary vortex. Instant velocity profiles reveal that deformed forced vortex formation is observed throughout the entire region and spanwise kinetic energy migration is conspicuous.

The present experimental study is focused on the application of multi-point simultaneous measurement by PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) to guide vane region within diffuser pump. Various different kinds of rotational velocity were selected as experimental condition.

Fine optical setup concerned with PIV performance is arranged for the accurate PIV measurement of high-speed complex flow. Variable flow pattern are represented quantitatively at the stator region.
