Flow over a protruding surface is investigated using numerical simulation. We consider flow between two parallel plates with a cube mounted on one side of the channel. As the flow approaches the cube, the adverse pressure gradient produces three-dimensional boundary-layer separation, resulting In the formation of horseshoe vortices. The objective of our study is to clarify both the steady and the unsteady characteristics of the vortex system. As the Reynolds number increases, the structure of the vortices near the cube becomes complex and the number of vortices increases. The distribution of skin friction on the cube-mounted wall reflects the effect of the horseshoe vortices. All these results are consistent with the experimental findings currently available.

Direct numerical simulation was carried out to study the vortical structures of the flow around a wall-mounted cube in a channel at Re=1,000 and Re=3,500 based on cubic height and bulk mean velocity. The cubic obstacle is situated in the entrance region of the channel flow where the boundary layers are developing. Upstream of the obstacle, steady and unsteady laminar horseshoe vortex systems are observed at Re=1,000 and Re=3,500, respectively; the near-wake flow is turbulent in both cases. The flow separates at each leading sharp edge of the cube, and subsequent vortex roll-up is noticed in the corresponding free-shear layer. The vortex shedding from the upper leading edge (upper vortices) and that from the two lateral leading edges (lateral vortices) are both quasi-periodic and their frequencies are computed. The upper and lateral vortices further develop into hairpin and Λ vortices, respectively. A series of instantaneous contours of the second invariant of velocity gradient tensor helps us identify spatial and temporal behaviors of the vortices in detail. The results indicate that the length and time scales of the vortical structures at Re=3,500 are much shorter than those at Re:1,000. Correlations between the upper and lateral vortices are also reported.

본 연구에서는 엇갈림 배열 관군 사이를 전기 전도성 유체가 흐를 때 외부에서 인가한 자기장의 영향으로 변화하는 열유동 특성을 수치해석적으로 연구하였다. Reynolds 수 50과 100의 비정상 층류 관군 유동에서 외부 인가 자기장의 세기를 의미하는 Hartmann 수를 0에서 100까지 점진적으로 변화시킴에 따라 관군 내부의 열유동 특성을 관찰하였다. Hartmann 수가 증가함에 따라 인가 자기장의 영향으로 관표면의 속도 경계층이 얇아지고, 유동 박리를 후류로 지연시키며, 관 후면에 형성되는 재순환 영역의 크기가 줄어드는 것을 관찰하였다. 최종적으로 열유동 변형에 의한 결과적 국소 및 평균 Nusselt 수 변화 특성을 제시하였다.
