A numerical study of evaluation of turbulence models for thermal striping phenomenon is performed. The turbulence models chosen in the present study are the two-layer model, the shear stress transport (SST) model and the V2-f model. These three models are applied to the analysis of the triple jet flow with the same velocity but different temperature. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) equation method is used together with the SIMPLE algorithm. The results of the present study show that the temporal oscillation of temperature is predicted only by the V2-f model, and the accuracy of the mean velocity, the turbulent shear stress and the mean temperature is a little dependent on the turbulence model used. The the two-layer model and the SST model shows nearly the same capability of predicting the thermal striping and the amplitude of the temperature fluctuation is predicted best by the V2-f model.

The flow pulsation of two parallel channels is investigated using RANS and URANS approaches. The parallel channels are connected with a small gap and have different cross section areas. The ratio of a right side area and a left side area ($A_R$ / $A_L$) is 0.5. Computations are conducted using a CFX code. Turbulence models adopted for RANS are Reynolds stress model and Shear Stress Transport (SST) model. The bulk Reynolds number is 60,000. Predicted results are compared with the experimental result of Lee et al. and show the flow pulsation with the frequency of about 100 Hz at the center of the gap.

An anisotropic k-.epsilon. turbulence model for predicting the rotating flows is proposed with the simple inclusion of a new parameter dealing with the extra straining effects in the .epsilon.-equation. This model is employed to compute the effects of Coriolis forces on fully-developed flow in a rotating channel. The predicted results indicate that the present model captures fairly well the striking rotational-induced effects on the Reynolds stresses and the mean flow distributions, including the argumentation of turbulent transport on the unstable side (pressure surface) of the channel and its damping on the stable side (suction surface).

This numerical study aims to investigate the effect of cohesive sediment on turbulence structure due to density stratification. The transport model for cohesive sediment incorporated with flocculation model has been selected and calculates the concentration, fluid momentum, and turbulence. From the model results, it is known that suspension of sediment decreases turbulence intensity. It is also found that cohesive sediment has a relatively weak effect on turbulence damping compared to noncohesive sediment. The low settling velocity and more suspension of cohesive sediment are considered to be mechanisms of this behavior. Richardson number determined with results of this study quantitatively shows that cohesive sediment causes less stable density stratification condition and, as a result, the turbulence structure is less damped compared to the case of noncohesive sediment.

A Plankton ecosystem model was developed to investigate effects of hydrodynamic processes including advection and diffusion on size-structured phytoplankton dynamics in the mesohaline zone of the York River estuarine system, Virginia, USA. The model included 12 state variables representing the distribution of carbon and nutrients in the surface mixed layer. Groupings of autotrophs and heterotrophs were based on cell site and ecological hierarchy Forcing functions included incident radiation, temperature, wind stress, mean How and tide which includes advective transport and turbulent mixing. The ecosystem model was developed in FORTRAN using differential equations that were solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta technique. The model showed that microphytoplankton blooms during winter-spring resulted from a combination of vertical advection and diffusion of phytoplankton cells rather than in-situ production in the lower York River estuary.

This study is motivated by the discrepancies found in previous studies that compared the observed photochemically reactive species in the marine boundary layer (MBL) with the model simulations. In particular, HCHO was underpredicted in PEM-Tropics (B) and overpredicted in TRACE-A, $H_2O$$_2$ overpredicted, $CH_3$OOH overpredicted, and $CH_3$OH significantly overpredicted (Thompson et al., 1993; Heikes et at., 1996; Davis et al., 1996; Jacob et al., 1996; Schultz et al., 1997; Suhre et al., 1998).

We have investigated the radiational fields through a hydrodynamical stellar model atmosphere. Stellar convection zone is the extremely turbulent region composed of partly ionized compressible gases in high temperature. Moreover, super-adiabatic layers are the transition region in energy transport from convection to radiation. Therefore, opacities and thermodynamic properties due to interaction of matter and radiational fields vary significantly with depth. In order to describe radiational fields accurately, the Opacity Distribution Function (ODF) and the Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) have been applied to hydrodynamic medium. As the first result of our radiative transfer, we present time-dependant variation of radiational fields and thermodynamic structures. Our non-gray transfer model has been compared with the conventional Eddington Approximation. Detailed information of radiational fields and thermodynamic properties will provide deeper insight of physical processes inside stellar atmospheres.

In the present work, flow analysis has been performed for side channel type double stage ring blower by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation. Shear stress transport model is used as turbulent closure. The commercial CFD code CFX 11.0 is used for the calculations. Each of two stage is calculated separately and the second stage inlet flow is same as the first stage outlet flow so that consecutive calculation is possible. Velocity and pressure fields have been analyzed at the mid-plane between blades. The numerical results are validated with experimental data for head coefficients at different flow coefficients.

This study presents a numerical procedure to optimize the shape of cylindrical cooling hole to enhance film-cooling effectiveness. The RBNN method is used as an optimization technique with Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer with shear stress transport turbulent model. The hole length-to-diameter ratio and injection angle are chosen as design variables and film-cooling effectiveness is considered as objective function which is to be maximized. Twelve training points are obtained by Latin Hypercube Sampling for two design variables. In the sensitivity analysis, it is found that the objective function is more sensitive to the injection angle of hole than the hole length-to diameter ratio. Optimum shape gives considerable increase in film-cooling effectiveness.

For the prediction on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown, computational studies on the Oblique Shock wave/Vortex Interaction (OSVI) are conducted and compared with both experimental results and analytic model. A Shock-stable numerical scheme, the Roe scheme with Mach number-based function (RoeM), and a two-equation eddy viscosity-transport approach are used for three-dimensional turbulent flow computations. The computational configuration is identical to available experiment, and we attempt to ascertain the effect of parameters such as a vertex strength, streamwise velocity deficit, and shock strength at a freestream Mach number of 2.49. Numerical simulations using the ${\kappa}-{\omega}SST$ turbulence model and suitably modeled vortex profiles are able to accurately reproduce many fine features through a direct comparison with experimental observations. The present computational approach to determine the criterion on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown is found to be in good agreement with both the experimental result and the analytic prediction.
