In this study, we conduct a numerical experiment of the single 5MW NREL wind turbine and compare the performance of various vortex core identification for the wake behind the wind turbine. In the kinetic analysis of wind turbine, 20% velocity deficit at 200 s is observed, showing wake which contains tip vortex near blade tip and rotor vortex at the center of the wind turbine. Time series of velocity and turbulent intensity show numerical simulation converge to a quasi-steady state near 200 s. In the comparison between methods for vortex identification, ${\lambda}_2$-method has good performance in terms of tip vortex, rotor vortex, vortex during its cascade process compared to vorticity magnitude criteria, ${\Delta}$-method. We conclude that ${\lambda}_2$-method is suitable for vortex identification method for wake visualization.

현재 사용되고 있는 전개판의 성능을 보다 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 비행기의 익이론에 기초를 두고, 전개판의 경계층을 흡입하거나 제거하는 방법 중에서 역류역을 제거하는 와발생기의 부착을 전개판에 적용하였다. 성능분석을 위해서 단순만곡형, V-만곡형 그리고 슬롯만곡형 전개판의 3종에 와발생기를 부착하지 않은 경우와 부착한 경우에 대하여 성능 및 유체역학적 특성을 성능실험과 가시화실험을 통하여 비교해 보았다. 실험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. \circled1 단순만곡형전개판에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 최대전개력계수는 10~15% 증가, 항력계수는 2%미만증가, 양항비는 5~20% 증가하였다. \circled2 V-만곡형전개판에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 양항비가 10~20% 증가하였다. \circled3 슬롯만곡형에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 영각 20$^{\circ}$ 이내에서 최대전개력계수는 약 20%이상 증가, 항력계수는 5~20% 증가, 양항비는 약간 높게 나타났으나, 영각 25$^{\circ}$이상에서는 이들 계수의 값들이 기준형에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. \circled4 와발생기를 부착한 전개판에서 박리점이 기준형에 비하여 다소 후연에 나타났다. \circled5 와발생기에 따른 전.후면의 유속차는 단순만곡형의 경우 모든 영각에서 약 10% 증가, V-만곡형의 경우 전반적으로 증가하였으나 영각 25$^{\circ}$에서는 비슷하게, 슬롯만곡형의 경우 영각 25$^{\circ}$까지는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. \circled6 와발생기에 따른 박리역의 크기는 단순만곡형에서 약 5~15% 감소, V-만곡형과 슬롯만곡형은 영각 15$^{\circ}$~20$^{\circ}$에서는 약 10% 감소, 영각 25$^{\circ}$ 이상일 때는 비슷하게 나타났다.

A rich phenomenon in the dynamics of azimuthal vortices in a circular cylinder caused by the inertial oscillation is investigated numerically at high Reynolds numbers and moderate Rossby numbers. In the actual spin-up flow where both the Ekman circulation and the bottom friction effects are included, the first appearance of a seed vortex is generated by the Ekman boundary-layer on the bottom wall and the subsequent roll-up near the corner bounded by the side wall. The existence of the small vortex then rapidly propagates toward the inviscid region and induces a complicated pattern in the distribution of azimuthal vorticity, i.e. inertial oscillation. The inertial oscillation however does not deteriorate the classical Ekman-pumping model in the time scale larger than that of the oscillatory motion. Motions of single vortex and a pair of vortices are further investigated under a slip boundary-condition on the solid walls. For the case of single vortex, repeated change of the vorticity sign is observed together with typical propagation of inertial waves. For the case of a pair of vortices with a two-step profile in the initial azimuthal velocity, the vortices' movement toward the outer region is resisted by the crescent-shape vortices surrounding the pair. After touching the border between the core and outer regions, the pair vortices weaken very fast.

($^{11}$B NMR measurements have been performed on single crystals of LuNi$_2$B$_2$C superconductor to investigate vortex lattice structures and dynamical behavior. The spectrum in the superconducting state is significantly broadened by local field inhomogeneity due to the vortex lattice and the peak point of the spectrum shifts toward low magnetic field due to the imperfect field penetration. The linewidth of the spectrum reflecting local field variation is much smaller than expected for conventional vortex lattices and shows peculiar increase at low temperature. Furthermore, the transverse relaxation rate, 1/T$_2$, probing the slow motion of vortices, exhibits a single peak as temperature decreases. These prominent results highlight significant fluctuation of vortices even for this low T$_c$, and nearly isotropic 3D superconductor.

When vortex shedding is locked-on to a single frequency oscillatory flow, the variations of vortex dynamics are investigated using a time-resolved PIV system. Wake regions of recirculation and vortex formation, dynamic behavior of the shed vortices and the Reynolds stress fields are measured in the wake-transition regime at the Reynolds number 360. In the lock-on state, reduction of the wake region occurs and flow energy distributed downstream moves upstream being concentrated near the cylinder base. To observe the dynamic behavior of the shed vortices, the trajectory of the vortex center extended to the inside of the wake bubble is considered, which describes well the formation and evolution processes. The Reynolds stresses and their contributions to overall force balance on the wake bubble manifest the increase of the drag force by the lock-on.

Navier-Stokes computation based on a new simplified model is proposed to investigate the interactions of a moving shock wave with multiple vortices arranged in the serial manner. This model problem simulates shock-vortexlet interactions at the shear layer of a compressible vortex often observed in the experiment. Applying the Foppl's idea, we extended the Rankin's model generally used for the description of a single vortex to the multi-vortex version. The acoustic pulses accelerated and decelerated are successively generated and propagated from each shock-vortex interaction, which simply explains the genesis of eccentrically diverging acoustic waves appearing in the experimental photograph.

A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation is performed to investigate the flame structure of $CH_4/N_2$-Air counterflow nonpremixed flame interacting with a single vortex. The detailed transport properties and a modified 16-step augmented reduced mechanism based on Miller and Bowman's detailed chemistry are adopted in this calculation. The results show that an initially flat stagnation plane, where an axial velocity is zero, is deformed into a complex-shaped plane, and an initial stagnation point is moved far away from vortex head when the counterflow field is perturbed by the vortex. It is noted that the movement of stagnation point can alter the mechanism of reactants (fuel and oxidizer) fluxes into the flame surface, and then can alter the flame structure.

Solute transport through a groove is affected by its vortices. Our laboratory and numerical experiments of dye transport through a single axisymmetric groove reveal evidence of enhanced spreading and mixing by the vortex, i.e., a new kind of dispersion called here the vortex dispersion. The uptake and release of contaminants by vortices in porous media is affected by the flow Reynolds number. The larger the flow Reynolds number, the larger is the vortex dispersion, and the larger is the mass-transfer rate between the mobile zone and the vortex. The long known dependence of the mass-transfer rate between the mobile and "immobile" zones in porous media on flow velocity can be explained by the presence of vortices in the "immobile" zone and their uptake and release of contaminants.

A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation was performed to investigate the flame structure of CH$_4$$N_2$-air counterflow nonpremixed flame interacting with a single vortex. The detailed transport properties and a modified 16-step augmented reduced mechanism based on Miller and Bowman's detailed chemistry were adopted in this simulation. The characteristic vortex and chemical time scales were introduced to quantify and investigate the extinction phenomenon during a flame-vortex interaction. The results showed that fuel- and air-side vortex cause an unsteady extinction. In this case, the flame interacting with a vortex was extinguished at much larger scalar dissipation rate than steady flame. It was also found that the air-side vortex extinguished a flame more rapidly than the fuel-side vortex. Furthermore, it was noted that the degree of unsteady effect experienced by a flame can be investigated by comparing the above two characteristic time scales, and this analysis could give an appropriate reason for the results of the previously reported experiment.

A two-dimensional direct numerical simulation is performed to investigate the flame structure of $CH_4/N_2-Air$ counterflow nonpremixed flame interacting with a single vortex. The detailed transport properties and a modified 16-step augmented reduced mechanism based on Miller and Bowman#s detailed reaction mechanism are adopted in this calculation. To quantify the strain on flame induced by a vortex, a scalar dissipation rate (SDR) is introduced. The results show that fuel-side and air-side vortex cause an unsteady extinction. In this case, the flame interacting with a vortex is extinguished at much larger SDR than steady flame. It is also found that air-side vortex extinguishes a flame more rapidly than fuel-side vortex. The unsteady effect induced by flame-vortex interaction does not lead to a transient OH overshoot of the maximum steady concentration observed in experiment, while $HO_2$ radical increases more than the maximum steady concentration with increasing SDR. In addition, it is seen that NO and $NO_2$ are not sensitive to the unsteady variation of SDR.
