Air Conditioner has become a popular comfort providing device since two decades, whether in an office or home especially for warm and wet climate countries. The RAC (Room Air Conditioner) is widely used in various working spaces and residences. It composed of heat exchager, cross-flow fan, stabilizer, rearguider and blade of diffuser region, etc. In this study, numerical analyses based on the prediction of transient phenomena were carried out to investigate the flow characteristics in the RAC, including the impeller, the rearguider, the stabilizer and the blade of the diffuser region. Using a commercial code, FLUENT, the velocity, pressure and streamlines were obtained with unsteady, turbulent flow and no-slip condition. The angular velocities of impeller are located in the 900 rpm. Turbulent closure was achieved using a standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model. A moving reference frame (MRF) approach was adopted to simulate the flow field generated by impeller in the RAC. Results were graphically depicted with various geometrical configurations and operating conditions.

Direct numerical simulations were performed to investigate the physics of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer flow subjected to spanwise oscillating electromagnetic forces in the near wall region. A fully implicit fractional step method was employed to simulate the flow. The mean flow properties and the Reynolds stresses were obtained to analyze the near-wall turbulent structure. It is found that skin friction and turbulent kinetic energy can be reduced by the electromagnetic forces. The decrease in production is responsible fur the reduction of turbulent kinetic energy. Instantaneous flow visualization techniques were used to observe the response of streamwise vortices and streak structures to spanwise oscillating forces. The near-wall vortical structures are affected by spanwise oscillating electromagnetic forces. Following the stopping of the electromagnetic force, the flow eventually relaxes back to a two-dimensional equilibrium boundary layer.

The turbulent flow around a sphere was investigated in a streamwise meridian plane using two experimental techniques: smoke-wire flow visualization in wind tunnel at Re=5,300 and PIV measurements in a circulating water channel at Re=7,400. The smoke-wire visualization shows flow separation points near an azimuthal angle of $90^{\circ}$, recirculating flow, transition from laminar to turbulent shear layer, evolving vortex roll-up and fully turbulent eddies in the sphere wake. In addition, the mean flow pattern extracted by particle tracing method in water tunnel at Re= 14,500 reveals two distinct comparable toroidal(not closed) vortices in the recirculation region. The mean velocity field measured using a PIV technique demonstrates the detailed wake configuration of close symmetric recirculation and near-wake configuration with two toroidal vortices, reversed velocity zone and vorticity contours.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the turbulent flow characteristics from on oblique impingement surface to an plane jet at the jet Reynolds number(Re based on the nozzle width) $3{\times}10^4$ The jet mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles have been measured along the impingement surface by hot-wire anemometer. The nozzle-to-plate distance(H/B) ranged from 2 to 10 and the oblique angle (a) from 45 to 90 degree. Also the secondary peak of the turbulent intensity was observed at H/B=4 S/B 5 and a=90 degree. It has been found that the stagnation point shifted toward the minor flow region as the oblique angle decreased and the position of the stagnation point nearly coincided with that of the maximum turbulent intensity.

A three-dimensional coupled turbulent fluid flow and solidification process were analyzed in a continuous casting process of a steel slab with Electromagnetic Brake(EMBR). A revised low-Reynolds number $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model was used to consider the turbulent effects. The enthalpy-porosity relation was employed to suppress the velocity within a mushy region. The electromagnetic field was described by Maxwell equations. Tile application of EMBR to the mold region results in the decrease of the transfer of superheat to the narrow face, the increase of temperature in free surface region and most liquid of submold region, and the higher temperature gradient near the solidifying shell. The increasing magnetic flux density effects mainly to the surface temperature of the solidifying shell of narrow face, hardly to the one of wide face. It is seen that in the presence of EMBR a thicker solidifying shell is obtained at the narrow face of the slab.

This paper presents the results of a detailed experimental examination of fully developed asymmetric flows between annular tubes with square-ribbed surface roughness. The main emphasis of the research has been on establishing the turbulence structure, particularly in the central region of the channel where the two dissimilar wall flows interact. Measurements have included profiles of time mean velocities, turbulence intensities, turbulent shear stresses, triple velocity correlations, skewness, and flatness. The region of greatest interaction is characterized by strong diffusional transport of turbulent shear stress and kinetic energy from rough toward the smooth wall region, giving rise to an appreciable separation between the planes of zero shear stresses depending on positions of roughness on the walls.

The steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate turbulent models on the aerodynamic performance of a small-size axial fan(SSAF). The prediction performance on the static pressure of all turbulent models is going downhill at the high static pressure and low flowrate region, but has improved at the axial flow region. In consequence, all turbulent models predict the static pressure coefficient with an error performance less than about 4% after the region of the flowrate coefficient of about 0.14. Especially, the turbulent model of SST $k-{\omega}$ shows the best prediction performance equivalent to an error performance less than about 2% on the static pressure.

Experiments were conducted to show the characteristics of the flow on triple parallel plane impinging jets. Measurements of mean velocity components and turbulent intensities were carried out with a particle image velocimetry(PIV) to investigate the flow field generated by the air issued from three identical plane parallel nozzles and mixed with the ambient air. The measurements range of these experiments were Reynolds number of 5000 and 1000 based on the nozzle width and the case of nozzle-to-plate distances were two times, six times and ten times the width of the nozzle. Results show that recirculation region of Re=5000 is the stronger than that of Re=1000. Therefore, velocity loss of centerline for Re=5000 that shows strongly recirculation region takes effect greatly.

In the present steady the flow characteristics of turbulent steady flows were experimentally investigated in the exit region of join stream. The experimental was carry out to measure the velocity profiles of air in a square duct. For the measurement of velocity profiles, a hot-wire anemometer was used. The experimental results shows that the velocity profiles do not change behind the fully developed flow region , which is defined as dimensionless axial direction x/Dh=50. In addition, the gradient of shear stress distribution became stable as the flow reached progress downstream.

액막류는 다양한 산업분야에 적용되는 쉘-튜브 열교환기의 주요 열교환기구로 오랫동안 연구되어왔다. 액막류의 한쪽 경계는 고정벽에 접하고 있지만 반대편에서는 기체 영역과 경계를 형성하므로 액막 레이놀즈 수가 증가함에 따라 쉽게 불안정해지는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 레이놀즈 수가 증가함에 따라 자유표면 파동 현상이 나타나는데, 층류 영역에서는 큰 진폭의 고립파가, 난류 천이 이후에는 낮은 진폭의 물결파가 나타난다. 액막류의 열전달 성능은 액막의 두께에 의해 크게 지배받는데 액막류에 동반된 파동은 액막 두께의 시공간적 변화를 의미하는 것이므로 이에 대한 정보를 해석적으로 수집하는 것은 액막류 열전달 성능을 예측하는데 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 낮은 진폭의 물결파를 동반한 난류 액막류에 대하여 여러 가지 난류 모형을 적용한 해석결과들을 실험결과와 비교함으로써 난류 모형들에 대한 평가를 실시하였다.
