In this research, Rayleigh instability of gas-liquid flow in annular pipe is studied in film boiling using viscous potential flow. Viscous potential flow is a kind of approximation of gas-liquid interface considering velocity field as potential including viscosity. A dispersion relation is obtained including the effect of heat and mass transfer and viscosity. New expression for dispersion relation in film boiling and critical wave number is obtained. Viscosity and heat and mass transfer have a stabilizing effect on instability and its effect appears in maximum growth rate and critical wave number. And the existence of marginal stability region is shown.

Computational methods can be classified roughly into two parts: one is the methods based on a potential flow theory, and the other is numerical solvers(CFD) based on Navier-Stockes equation. Methods based on a potential theory are more effective than CFD when the free surface effect is considered. Especially Rankine source method seems to become widespread for simulations of wave making problems. For computations of viscous flow problems, CFD techniques have rapidly been developed and have shown many successful results in the viscous flow calculation. Present paper introduces a computational system 'WAVIS' which includes a pre-processor, potential ant viscous flow solvers and a post-processor. To validate the system, the calculated results for modem commercial hull forms are compared with measurements. It is found that the results from the system are in good agreement with the experimental data, illustrating the accuracy of the numerical methods employed for WAVIS.

An iterative viscous-potential flow procedure has been developed and used to predict aerodynamic characteristics of automobiles in ground proximity. The method is capable of predicting the effects of separated flows. The viscous-potential flow iteration procedure provides the connection between potential flow, boundary layer and wake modules. The separated wake is modeled in the potential flow analysis by thin sheets across which exists a jump in velocity potential. The ground effect is properly accounted for by placing a body image in the potential flow calculation. The agreement between theory and experiment is good and, thus, demonstrates that the method can be used in the preliminary design stage.

A computational system for wave and viscous flow analysis (WAVIS) has been developed. The system includes a pre-processor, flow solvers and a post-processor. The pre-processor is composed of full form presentation, surface mesh and field grid generation. The flow solvers are for potential and viscous flow calculation. The post-processor has graphic utility for result analysis. All the programs are integrated in a GUI-launcher package. To validate the developed CFD programs of WAVIS, the calculated results for modern commercial hull forms are compared with measurements. It is found that the results from WAVIS are in good agreement with the experimental data, illustrating the accuracy of the numerical methods employed for WAVIS.

The instability analysis of submerged gas flow into liquid is studied, which assumes gas and liquid as viscous and irrotational. At low mass flow rate of gas, injected gas plume is collection of bubbles, and increase of gas flow rate makes plume as a jet. It is well known that the transition from bubbling to jetting occurs in the transonic region. But previous works neglect viscous effect of gas flow into liquid. This paper concerns about an application of viscous potential flow theory in cylindrical gas flow into liquid. The growth rate versus wave number and mach number is compared with various condition including inviscid and viscous flow.

Recently supercavitating torpedo has been studied because of its high-speed performance as the next generation of underwater weapon systems. In this study, we present a numerical method based on the potential flow. Characteristic features of the shape of supercavities and drag forces are investigated. In addition, we introduce a viscous-potential method to compensate for the effects of viscosity. The results are compared with viscous calculations using a commercial package, FLUENT V13.

The two different numerical approaches for solving the nonlinear ship wave problem are discussed in the present paper. One is based on a panel method, which neglects the viscous effects. The other is based on a finite volume method, which take into account the viscous effects by solving RANS equations. Focus is laid upon on the advantages and disadvantages of two methods. The developed methods are applied to calculating the flow around Series 60 hull to validate the performance of the present nonlinear methods. Although the two methods employ quite different numerical approaches, the calculated wave patterns from both methods show good agreements with the experiments. However the potential method simu-lates the global wave pattern accurately, while the viscous method shows better performance for the local wave prediction near a ship.

In this paper, the mechanism of unsteady potential interaction and wake interaction in one stage axial turbine is numerically investigated at design point in two-dimensional viewpoint. The numerical technique used is the upwind scheme of Van-Leer's Flux Vector Splitting (FVS) and Cubic spline interpolation is applied on zonal interface between stator and rotor. The inviscid analysis is used to embody the influence of potential interaction only and viscous analysis is used to embody the influences of both potential interaction and wake interaction at the same time. The potential-flow disturbance from the stator into a rotor passage and the periodic blockage effect of rotor produce the unsteady pressure on the blade surface in inviscid analysis. After the wake is cut by rotor, two counterrotating votical patterns flanking the wake centerline in the passage are generated. So, these phenomena magnify the unsteady pressure in viscous analysis than that in inviscid analysis. The resulting unsteady forces on the rotor, generated by the combined interaction of the two effects by potential and wake interaction, are discussed.

The paper deals with the study of the mechanical time-harmonic forced vibration of the hydro-piezoelectric system consisting of the piezoelectric plate and compressible viscous fluid with finite depth. The exact equations of motion of the theory of linear electro-elasticity for piezoelectric materials are employed for describing the plate motion, however, the fluid flow is described by employing the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible (barotropic) viscous fluid. The plane-strain state in the plate and the plane flow of the fluid are considered and the corresponding mathematical problems are solved by employing the Fourier transform with respect to the space coordinate which is on the coordinate axis directed along the platelying direction. The expressions of the corresponding Fourier transform are determined analytically, however, the inverse transforms are found numerically. Numerical results on the interface pressure and the electrical potential are obtained for various PZT materials and these results are discussed. According to these results, in particular, it is established that the electromechanical coupling effect can significantly decrease the interface pressure.

In this paper, the author investigate viscous effects on the characteristics of TP620 hydrofoil. The pressure distribution on the foil section in non-cavitating flow should be considered its characteristics of displacement thickness due to viscous effects. Theoretical potential theory, which neglects viscous effects do not agree with this analysis, especially at leading edge region of the foil. And, the efficiency of TP620 hydrofoil considering viscous effects is a little lower than that of the foil, which neglected viscous effects.
