Skin frictional drag reduction efficiency of "stiff" compliant coating was investigated in a wind tunnel experiment. Flat plate compliant coating inserts were installed in a wind tunnel and the measurements of skin frictional drag and velocity field were carried out. The compliant coatings with varying viscoelastic properties had been prepared using different composition. In order to optimize the coating thickness, the most important design parameter, the dynamic viscoelastic properties had been determined experimentally. The aging of the materials (variation of their properties) during half a year was documented as well. A design procedure proposed by Kulik et al. (2008) was applied to get an optimal value for the coating thickness. Along with the drag measurement using the strain balance, velocity and pressure were measured for different coatings. The compliant coatings with the thickness h = 7mm achieved 4~5% drag reduction within a velocity range 30~40 m/s. The drag reduction mechanism of the attenuation of turbulence velocity fluctuations due to the compliant coating was demonstrated. It is envisioned that larger drag reduction effect is obtainable at higher flow velocities for high speed trains and subsonic aircrafts.

The present study aims to investigate characteristics of the flow structures around the Ahmed body by using both experimental and numerical methods. Therefore, 1/4 scale Ahmed body having $25^{\circ}$ slant angle was employed. The Reynolds number based on the body height, H and the free stream velocity, U was $Re_H=1.48{\times}10^4$. Investigations were conducted in two parts. In the first part of the study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method was used to resolve the flow structures around the Ahmed body, numerically. In the second part of the study the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique was used to measure instantaneous velocity fields around the Ahmed body. Time-averaged and instantaneous velocity vectors maps, streamline topology and vorticity contours of the flow fields were presented and discussed in details. Comparison of the mean and turbulent quantities of the LES results and the PIV results with the results of Lienhart et al. (2000) at different locations over the slanted surface and in the wake region of the Ahmed body were also given. Flow features such as critical points and recirculation zones in the wake region downstream of the Ahmed body were well captured. The spectra of numerically and experimentally obtained stream-wise and vertical velocity fluctuations were presented and they show good consistency with the numerical result of Minguez et al. (2008).

In the local Universe, the gravitational effects of mass density fluctuations exert perturbations on galaxies' redshifts on top of Hubble's Law, called 'peculiar velocities'. These peculiar velocities provide an excellent way to test the cosmological model in the nearby Universe. In this talk, we present new cosmological constraints using peculiar velocities measured with the 2MASS Tully-Fisher survey (2MTF), 6dFGS peculiar-velocity survey (6dFGSv), the Cosmicflows-3 and Cosmicflows-4TF compilation. Firstly, the dipole and the quadrupole of the peculiar velocity field, commonly named 'bulk flow' and 'shear' respectively, enable us to test whether our cosmological model accurately describes the motion of galaxies in the nearby Universe. We develop and use a new estimators that accurately preserves the error distribution of the measurements to measure these moments. In all cases, our results are consistent with the predictions of the Λ cold dark matter model. Additionally, measurements of the growth rate of structure, fσ8 in the low-redshift Universe allow us to test different gravitational models. We developed a new estimator of the "momentum" (density weighted peculiar velocity) power spectrum and use joint measurements of the galaxy density and momentum power spectra to place new constraints on the growth rate of structure from the combined 2MTF and 6dFGSv data. We recover a constraint of fσ8=0.404+0.082-0.081 at an effective redshift zeff=0.03. This measurement is also fully consistent with the expectations of General Relativity and the Λ Cold Dark Matter cosmological model.

하천의 홍수유속을 측정하기 위하여, 전자파를 이용한 물 표면 유속 측정체계를 개발하였다. 현재의 개발단계는 실험용 유속측정체계 수준이다. 전자파 표면유속계는 초고주파(micro-wave) 전자파의 도플러 효과를 이용한다. 이는 전자파의 발진과 안테나를 통한 반사파 수신, 차주파수 신호의 추출로 이루어지는 RF부분과, 차주파수 신호의 A/D변환 및 고속 후리에 변환 등으로 이루어지는 신호처리부로 구성된다. 구성된 유속측정 체계로 교량 아래 유속, 대청 조정지댐 방수로 등에서 측정 실험하였고 선박해양공학 연구센터의 선박 실험용 선형수조에서 검증 실험을 수행하였다. 검증결과 A/D 변환기 제작오류에서 발생된 4% 오차 이외에 측정환경의 문제에서 비롯된 몇 %의 오차가 혼재되어 있음이 분석되었다. 그러나 0.5~3.5 m/s 유속을 측정한 결과, 기준속도와 측정속도간 선형성이 우수하고 홍수 유속 측정에 매우 유용한 장비임이 입증되었다. 향후 소형화, 경량화를 수행하고 바람, 물 표면의 불규칙 유동에 의한 영향을 분석하여 신호처리 방안을 마련하는 재제작 (re-engineering) 과정이 요구된다.

Direct numerical simulation has been used to study turbulent boundary layers with convex curvature. A direct numerical simulation program has been developed to solve incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in generalized coordinates with the finite volume method. We considered two boundary layer thicknesses. When the curvature effect is small, mean velocity statistics show little difference with those of a plane channel flow. Turbulent intensity decreases as curvature increases. Contours suggest that streamwise vorticities are strong where large pressure fluctuations exist.

The structural dynamic responses by wind load consist of alongwind, acrosswind and torsional behavior. Specially, dynamic alongwind response can be obtained from theoretical approach presented by Davenport, Vellozzi and Cohen. Generally the structural dynamic alongwind response can be obtained using the approximate analysis, under the condition that only the first mode shape of the structure is considered and the mode shape is assumed to be a linear function. In this paper, the dynamic alongwind responses are performed by using spectrum of longitudinal velocity fluctuations presented by Davenport and Kaimal, respectively.

Ventilation system on passenger rooms should be designed for the health and comfort of the passengers. One of the main aim is to create an acceptable thermal environment without draught problems. The draught sensation increases when the air temperature decreases and the air velocity increases. Airflow in passenger rooms is turbulent. Lateral temperature and humidity gradients in the electric rolling stock have been studied. And, the difference in the mean temperatures measured at 0.7, 0.9, 1.2, 1.7 m above the floor. It has been found that temperature with large fluctuations caused more draught complains.

The influence of nonlinear phenomena on the behavior of stationary forced flexural-gravity waves on the surface of deep water is investigated, when the perturbation of external pressure moves with near-resonant velocity. It is shown that there are three branches of bounded stationary solutions turning into asymptotic solutions of the linear problem with zero initial conditions. For the first time ice sheet destruction by turbulent fluctuations of atmosphere pressure in ice adjacent layer in wind conditions is studied.

There are a number of studies on the peculiarities of inflation in underdeveloped economies. These studies are, however, confined to the cases of Latin American countries, and the essence of methodologies applied in the studies is basically estimations of linear parameters of an extended quantity equation with lagged variables. As it is generally observed, inflation in most of underdeveloped economies are, to some extent, affected by non-economic factors such as political instability, social disorder, abrupt institutional changes, etc. Sometimes, these factors underlying the basic movement of price level change are reflected in such variables as quantity of money supply, income velocity, gross national product.

A triple hot-wire probe has an essential potentiality for the measure- ment of an instantaneous velocity vector in a three dimensional unsteady flow with large amplitude of velocity fluctuations, the key problems asso- ciated with this instrument are the directional range of applicability and the accuracy. This present paper is concerned with a new method of the techniques of calibration and data processing to estimate the three dimensional flow field using an arbitrary shaped triple hot-wire probe. The method is not based on the assumptions of orthogonality or symmetry and it is especially useful for applications to a hand-made probe where probe geometry is not accurately known. The test application is made to evaluate the effect of cone angles of symmetric non-orthogonal probe.
