본 논문에서는 비대선형에서 구상선수의 형상변화가 저항성능에 미치는 영향을 조사해 보기 위하여 구상선수 계열들을 창안하고 이들의 모형시험 결과를 비교 분석한 내용이 기술되었다. 구상선수의 형상을 결정짓는 7가지의 변수를 생각하고 이들을 체계적으로 변화시켜 구상선수 형상변화의 영향을 실험적으로 조사하도록 계획하였다. 총 23개 선형의 모형선을 제작하였으며, 각 선형에 대하여 저항시험, 유선조사시험 및 선측파고 계측시험이 수행되었다. 구상선수의 형상변화와 모형시험 결과와를 상호 비교 분석하기 위하여 유사한 특성의 구상선수들을 모아서 9개 그룹으로 분류하였으며 각 그룹 별 저항성분의 변화 경향을 분석해 본 결과 비대선에서는 형상저항이 전저항에 지배적인 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 모형시험 결과 및 이의 통계적 분석 자료로부터 비대선에서는 구상선수 주위의 유선의 방향이 저항성분들과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 저항성분들 중에서도 형상저항과 더욱 밀접한 관계가 있다는 사실을 발견하였다.

This research work presents an experimental study's outcomes to reveal the impact of an O-ring on the flow control over a sphere placed in a turbulent boundary layer. The investigation is performed quantitatively and qualitatively using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and dye visualization. The sphere model having a diamater of 42.5 mm is located in a turbulent boundary layer flow over a smooth plate for gap ratios of 0≤G/D≤1.5 at Reynolds number of 5 × 10³. Flow characteristics, including patterns of instantaneous vorticity, streaklines, time-averaged streamlines, velocity vectors, velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress correlations, and turbulence kinetic energy (), are compared and discussed for a naked sphere and spheres having O-rings. The boundary layer velocity gradient and proximity of the sphere to the flat plate profoundly influence the flow dynamics. At proximity ratios of G/D=0.1 and 0.25, a wall jet is formed between lower side of the sphere and flat plate, and velocity fluctuations increase in regions close to the wall. At G/D=0.25, the jet flow also induces local flow separations on the flat plate. At higher proximity ratios, the velocity gradient of the boundary layer causes asymmetries in the mean flow characteristics and turbulence values in the wake region. It is observed that the O-ring with various placement angles (𝜃) on the sphere has a considerable alteration in the flow structure and turbulence statistics on the wake. At lower placement angles, where the O-ring is closer to the forward stagnation point of the sphere, the flow control performance of the O-ring is limited; however, its impact on the flow separation becomes pronounced as it is moved away from the forward stagnation point. At G/D=1.50 for O-ring diameters of 4.7 (2 mm) and 7 (3 mm) percent of the sphere diameter, the -ring exhibits remarkable flow control at 𝜃=50° and 𝜃=55° before laminar flow separation occurrence on the sphere surface, respectively. This conclusion is yielded from narrowed wakes and reductions in turbulence statistics compared to the naked sphere model. The O-ring with a diameter of 3 mm and placement angle of 50° exhibits the most effective flow control. It decreases, in sequence, streamwise velocity fluctuations and length of wake recovery region by 45% and 40%, respectively, which can be evaluated as source of decrement in drag force.
