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.

Flow fields, temperature distributions, and particle trajectories in a 2-stage entrained-flow gasifier are calculated using a CFD code, FLUENT. Realizable k-$\xi$ model is used as a turbulent model. Because of swirling flow there appear recirculation regions near the burners. The characteristics of flow fields and temperature distributions in the gasifier are dependent on the swirl number of the system. Mean residence time of the particles in the reductor is inversely proportional to particle size, particle density and swirl number. As the swirl number is increasing, the particles injected from the combustor burners approach the wall near the combustor burners, which prevents the particles from entering the reductor and thus attatching the reductor wall. If the lower combustor burner angle is larger than the higher combustor burner angle for a given swirl number, the particles may move toward the reductor and cause ash/slag deposition problem.

The experimental study on flow and heat transfer characteristics was conducted to investigate and to compare the performance of swirl jet by a twisted tape as a swirl generator with the performance of impinging single circular jet in fully developed flow tube. The effects of jet Reynolds number(Re=8700, 13800, 20000, 26500), dimensionless distance of nozzle-to-plate(H/d=2, 4, 6, 8) and swirl ratio(S=0.11, 0.23, 0.30) of the jet on the local and average Nusselt number have been examined. Measurements of local heat transfer rate and flow patterns on the jet impinging plate were used naphthalene sublimation technique and flow visualization technique respectively. Mean velocity and turbulence intensity of the jet along the centerline were measured. With a twisted tape in the nozzle exit, average Nusselt number at the around area of stagnation point were higher than those without the twisted tape at H/d=2, 4 and with the increase of Reynolds number. With a twisted tape in the nozzle, in the case of H/d=2, Re=26500 and S=0.11, maximum local Nusselt number at the region of y/d=0 and x/d=0.44 was obtained.

This paper represents axial mean velocity, turbulent kinetic energy and swirl number based on momentum flux measured in the X-Y plane and Y-Z plane respectively of a cone type gas swirl burner by using X-probe from the hot-wire anemometer system. This experiment is carried out at flow rates 350 and $450{\ell}/min$ respectively, which are equivalent to the combustion air flow rate necessary for heat release 15,000 kcal/hr in gas furnace, in the test section of a subsonic wind tunnel. Axial mean velocities and turbulent kinetic energies show that their maximum values exist centering around narrow slits situated radially on the edge of and in the forefront of a burner until $X/R{\fallingdotseq}1.5$, but they have a peculiar shape like a starfish diffusing and developing into inward and outward of a burner by means of the mixing between flows ejected from narrow slits, an inclination baffle plate and swirl vanes respectively according to downstream regions. Moreover, they show a relatively large value in the inner region of 0.5$S_m$ obtained by integration of velocity profiles shows a characteristic that has an inflection point composing of the maximum and minimum value until X/R<3, but shows close agreement with the geometric swirl number after a distance of X/R=3.

희박예혼합 가스터빈 연소기에 적용되는 스월 유동은 연소효율증가와 배기가스저감을 목적으로 적용된 것로 연소기 내 유동장의 전단층생성에 의한 재순환영역이 생성되게 한다. 이러한 재순환영역은 연소가스 재순환에 의한 화염온도와 화염길이를 낮추는 효과를 가지고 있다. 또한 희박연소에서 연소불안정성 억제효과도 있다. 본 연구에서는 모형가스터빈연소기에서 스월러를 이용하여 스월유동을 유도하고, 연소기 노즐에서 평균속도가 일정 할 때의 스월수 증가에 따른 유동장의 속도분포 특성을 분석하였으며 이때 PIV 계측 실험과 난류통계기법을 이용하여 난류인자들을 도출하였다. 스월수의 증가는 연소기 내부 유동장의 형태가 바뀌게 되고, 재순환영역의 위치가 연소기 노즐방향으로 이동하게 되어 화염길이를 줄여 주며, 난류강도와 난류길이 스케일이 감소하게 되어 에디의 크기가 작아짐을 확인하였다.

Flow characteristics of a round jet with swirl number of 0.17 have been investigated using a hot -wire anemometry in the initial region within 10D(exit diameter). Swirl effects were observed by comparing centerline flow characteristics, similarities and turbulent budgets of a swirl jet and a free jet, respectively. To obtain similarity of the radial profiles mean velocity and higher moments were measured at the vertical pl anes, located at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5D, 10D, respectively. The centerline velocity characteristics were also measured. It is turned out that similarities of mean and Reynolds stress are established. The jet boundary has wider width than that of a free jet and the shear stress also becomes stronger. In addition the centerline decay becomes faster than that of the free jet, indicating that the swirl induces more entrainment in the initial region of the swirl Jet by transferring the axial mean kinetic energy into the swirl energy and, therefore, has wider boundary, compared with that of free jet.

Swirling air flow in a horizontal round tube was experimentally studied for its visualization. The present investigation deals with swirl angle, flow visualization studies and accompanying vortex core behavior by using oil smoke and a hot wire anemometer for Re = 40,000 and 50000 at X/D = 41, 59 and 71. In the swirl air flow, a vortex core was formed at high swirl intensity along the test tube. The swirl angle and the vortex core depended on the swirl intensity along the test tube. The results of swirl angles measured by flow visualization and hot wire reasonably agree with those of previous studies.

폐기물을 효과적으로 소각 처리하기 위해, 고형화된 입자를 고속으로 연소시키는 소각로의 유동 특성을 수치해석적으로 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는, 기존 발전소에서 통용되는 선회 유동 유발을 통한 안정적 화염형성 개념과 고에너지 밀도를 갖는 로켓 엔진 연소실의 설계 개념을 복합적으로 적용하였다. 첫단계로, 소각로로 분사되는 연료와 공기의 유동 특성 파악을 위해 1차 연소실에 주 분사기와 보조 분사기를 장착하여 비반응 유동장 수치해석을 수행하였다. 설계 변경 인자로 주 분사기의 편향각, 보조 분사기의 하향각, 두 분사기간 간격을 선정하였다. 이러한 설계 인자의 변경에 따른 선회 유동 형성의 정도를 파악하기 위해 선회수(swirl number)를 평가 인자로 사용하였다. 각각의 설계 인자가 변함에 따라 선회수는 편향각이 증가할수록 선회수가 증가하였으며, 하향각에 따라서는 선회수가 크게 변하지 않았다. 설계 인자에 따라 형성되는 재순환 영역의 크기가 달라지며 이는 선회수의 크기에도 영향을 끼쳤다. 재순환 영역의 크기가 작으면 선회수가 큰 경향성을 보였다. 이러한 수치해석을 통해 활발한 선회 유동을 형성시킬 수 있는 설계 조건을 찾을 수 있었다.

An experimental study was performed to investigate heat transfer characteristics of turbulent swirling flow in an axisymmetric annuli. The static pressure, the local flow temperature, and the wall temperature with decaying swirl were measured by using tangential inlet conditions and the friction factor and the local Nusselt number were calculated for Re=30000∼70000. The local Nusselt number was compared with that obtained from the Dittus-Boelter equation with swirl and without swirl. The results showed that the swirl enhances the heat transfer at the inlet and the outlet of the test tube.
