The coupled conduction and convection heat transfer from the protruding heat source in a vertical channel is numerically investigated. Conjugate solution of the two-dimensional energy equation is obtained for the incompressible air flow over the rectangular block with local heat source. It was found that several recirculation zones and separation bubble near the block were related to Re and Gr. And the results show that fractions of the heat transfer through each of the block face, maximum temperature of the block and the relative effect of each parameter on the maximum temperature and heat transfer.

Gas-Liquid multiphase flow simulation has been carried out using the Lattice boltzmann method. For the interface treatment, pseudo-potential model (Shan-Chen) was used with the Carnahan-Starling equation of state. Exact Difference Method also applied for the treatment of the force term. Through the developed code, we simulated coexsitence structure of high and low density, phase separation, surface tension effect, characteristics of moving interface, homogeneous and heterogeneous cavitation and bubble collaps.

The effect of vortex generators to manipulate the separated flow region behind the vertical fence was experimentally investigated. The experiments were performed in the circulating water channel. The parameters used in this study were the distance between the fence and vortex generators and size of vortex generators. Digital PIV method was applied to measure the instantaneous velocity fields around the fence. And the obtained flow properties were compared with those of fence How without the vortex generators. The obtained results quantitatively shows the specific size and distance of vortex generators which were effective to reduce the mean reattachment length of separation bubble behind the fence.

Experimental study of separated flow over a NACA0012 airfoil is conducted at $Re=2{\times}10^5$ when periodic wakes pass over the airfoil. The wakes are periodically generated by circular cylinders upstream of the airfoil. The measurement of surface pressure and surface visualization at various angles of attack are carried out without and with passing wakes. Without passing wakes, a separation bubble at the leading edge of the suction surface is formed at an angle of attack, found from a local plateau in the streamwise pressure distribution and two distinct lines in the surface flow visualization. With passing wakes, however, the bubble disappears. Owing to passing wakes, the lift increases at high angle of attack and the angle of stall also increases.

For improving the efficiency of near space propellers working over 20km, performances of their streamwise sections, i.e. low-Reynolds-number airfoils which work at $10^4-10^5$ Reynolds numbers, are significant. Based on the low-Reynolds-number CFD technology, this paper designs a novel low-Reynolds-number airfoil. Unsteady characteristics of the laminar separation bubble on novel airfoil and a typical conventional airfoil are studied numerically, and the Reynolds number effect is investigated. Results show that at $10^4-10^5$ Reynolds numbers, unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the novel airfoil are severely weakened and its lift-to-drag ratio can increase about 100%.

We carried out the experiments which controled the periodic jet in front of the fence to alter the fence wake. The experiments were performed in circulating water channel and the vertical fence was submerged in the boundary layer. The frequency, jet nozzle distance and speed of jet passing the slit were investigated. Each case divided into 20 phases and phase-averaged results were compared with uncontrolled fence flow. From the results, we found the specific frequency and nozzle distance which were good for reducing the reattachment length. In this case, the reattachment length was decreased 35% compared with the uncontrolled fence flow.

An experimental study was made of turbulent separated and reattaching flow over a blunt body, where unsteady wake was generated by a spoke wheel-type wake generator with cylindrical rods. The influence of unsteady wake was scrutinized by altering the rotating direction (CW and CCW) and the normalized passing frequency (0 St$\_$H/ 0.20). The Reynolds number based on the cylindrical rod was Re$\_$d/=375. A phase-averaging technique was employed to characterize the unsteady wake. The effect of different rotating directions was examined in detail, which gave a significant reduction of x$\_$R/. The wall pressure fluctuations on the blunt body were analysed in terms of the spectrum and the coherence.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which is glassy polymer to have amide functional group, was induced to fabricate the facilitated olefin transport membranes for olefin/paraffin separation. Separation performance for the mixed gas consisting of propylene and propane (50 : 50 vol%) was measured by gas chromatography and bubble flow meter. The properties of membranes were confirmed by scanning electron microscope and FT-IR. The results of long-term separation tests showed the selectivity of 15 and permeance of 1.3 GPU. The membranes was compared with poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) $(POZ)/AgBF_4/Al(NO_3)_3$ membranes and the characteristics were confirmed as polymer matrix for facilitated transport membranes.

The author has presented a new approach to design hydrofoil section shapes in consideration of viscous for marine propeller blades. In suction sides of propeller blades, the pressure distribution on hydrofoil sections in non-cavitating flow should be examined before the study of cavitation characteristics. Generally, the calculation results for hydrofoil conformal mapping method by which neglect viscous effects do not agree with experimental ones. Moreover, another papers reported that laminar separation bubble and transition played an important role on the cavitation inception. From these considerations, it is very important to study the viscous effects of the hydrofoil sections, especially the mechanism separation bubble and the apparent thickness of hydrofoil section. Therefore, the new design method of hydrofoil sections in consideration of viscous effects in comparison to the airfoil section should be studied. In designing the new hydrofoil section shapes, based on Eppler theory, the author tried to give the peak negative pressure in leading edge region for NACA airfoil in consideration of viscous effects without turbulent boundary layer separation as much as possible. The design method was verified from the fact that the boundary characteristics was improved and the lifts of new hydrofoils were slightly in creased in comparison to these of NACA 16-012 symmetrical, NACA 4412 non-symmetrical airfoils.
