An experimental study is performed on the turbulent swirling flow behind a crcular cylinder using 2-D PIV technique. The Reynolds numbers investigated are 10.000, 15,000. 20.000 and 25.000. The mean velocity vector, time mean axial velocity, turbulence intensity, kinetic energy and Reynolds shear stress behind the cylinder are measured before and behind the cylinder along the test tube. A comparison is included without swirling flow behind a circular and square cylinder. The recirculation zones are shown unsymmetric profiles.

Interests on energy saving devices (ESDs) have been increased with the concern of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) developed by the international maritime organization (IMO). To study the influence of ESDs, KVLCC2 with energy saving pre-swirl stator (PSS) was selected. To validate the computations, computed nominal wake of the model scale ship was compared with the experimental data, and the numerical uncertainty assessment was done for the full scale ship computations. The PSS changed rotational flow, which was assistant to the propeller thrust for the model and full scale ships. Performances of the full scale ships were predicted by ITTC methods, and new prediction method was proposed.

The 14th International Symposium on Flow Visualization (ISFV14) was held at Daegu (Korea), June 21-24, 2010. The number of participants was 304 from 17 countries. The number of papers presentated was 243 from 19 countries. Two special lectures and four invited lectures, 48 paper sessions, and one poster session were opened in five and in a lobby for four days. Special events such as awarding "the Asanuma Award" and "the Leonardo Da Vinci Award" to the prominent contributors were also held. Photo and Movie Awards were given to three scientists for the excellences in their photos and movies. Among 48 sessions 5 sessions were on Biological Flows and on Micro/Nano Fluidics, which were the largest session number. 4 sessions were held on Compressible and Sonic Flows, and on PIV/PTV. 3 sessions were held on Swirl Flows, Image Processing, and on Industrial Applications. Other sessions on LIF, Wake and Vortex Flows, Physiological Flows, Environment Flows, Measurements Techniques, and on Reacting Flows.
