The objective of this study is to analyse the spray characteristics according to the injection duration under the ambient pressure condition, and the injection timing in the visualization engine. In order to investigate the spray behavior, we obtained the spray velocity using the PIV method that has been an useful optical diagnostics technology, and calculated the vorticity from spray velocity component. These results elucidated the relationship between vorticity and entropy which play an important role in the diffusion process for the early injection case and the stratification process for the late injection case. In addition, we quantified the homogeneous diffusion rate of spray using the entropy analysis based on the Boltzmann's statistical thermodynamics. Using these method, it was found that the concentration of spray droplets caused by the increase of injection duration is more effective than the increase of momentum dissipation. We also found that the homogeneous diffusion rate increased as the injection timing moved to the early intake stroke process and BTDC $50^{\circ}$ was the most efficient injection timing for the stratified mixture formation during the compression stroke.

Experimental investigations of the longitudinal vortices, which are produced by wing type vortex generators set up behind a circular cylinder in a rectangular channel, are presented. When the circular cylinder is set up in the rectangular channel, a horseshoe vortex is formed just upsteam of the circular cylinder. It generates a turbulent wake region behind the circular cylinder. Therefore, the region of the pressure loss behind the circular cylinder in increased and the size of the wake is small. These problems can be achieved by longitudinal vortices which are generated by wing-type vortex generator. In order to control the strength of longitudinal vortices, the angle of attack of the vortex generators is varied from 20 degree to 45, but the spacing between the vortex generators is fixed 6cm. The 3-dimensional mean velocity measurements are made using a five-hole probe. The vorticity field and streamwise velocity contour are obtained from the velocity field. The following results are obtained. Circulation strength is the maximum value when the angle of attack($\beta$) is $30^{\circ}$, and the vorticity field and streamwise velocity contour in case of $\beta$=$20^{\circ}$ show the trend similar to these in case of $\beta$=$30^{\circ}$, but do not in case of $\beta$=$45^{\circ}$.

To improve the fuel consumption and exhaust emission for gasoline engines, GDI(Gasoline Direct Injection) system was spotlighted to solve above requirements. Thus, many researchers have been studied to investigate the spray characteristics and the mixture formation of GDI injector. In this study, we tried to study the spray characteristics of a gasoline direct injector by using entropy analysis and PlV methods. The entropy analysis is based on the concept of statistical entropy, and it identifies the degree of homogeneity in the fuel concentration. The PlV method was adopted to determine the fluid dynamics information at the spray. From the applied results on a direct injection gasoline spray, we could find that the direct diffusion phenomena was a dominant factor in the formation of a homogeneous mixture at downstream of GDI spray especially under vaporizing ambient conditions, and mixing phenomena was also progressed by momentum exchange with induced air. In addition, the correlation between entropy and vorticity strength enabled to find their relation.

The tumble or swirl flow is used to promote mixing of air and fuel in the cylinder and to enlarge turbulent intensity in the end of the compression stroke. Since the in-cylinder flow is a kind of transient state with rapid flow variation, which is non-steady state flow, the tumble or swirl flow has not been analyzed sufficiently whether they are applicable to combustion theoretically. In the investigation of intake turbulent characteristics using PIV method, typical flow characteristics were figured out by SCV configurations. An engine installed SCV had higher vorticity and turbulent strength by fluctuation and turbulent kinetic energy than a baseline engine, especially near the cylinder wall and lower part of the cylinder. Above all, the engine with SCV 8 was superior to the others in aspect of vorticity and turbulent strength. For energy dissipation, a baseline engine had much higher energy loss than the engine installed SCV because flow impinged on the cylinder wall. Consequently, as swirl flow was added to existing tumble flow, it was found that fluctuation increased and flow energy was conserved effectively through the experiment.

한국 남해안 거제도 앞바다에 구축된 인공용승구조물로 인하여 발생하는 유동 변화를 파악하기 위해 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)를 이용한 정선관측을 2003년 하계 및 추계에 실시하였다. 관측 결과 하계에는 수심 약 $30{\sim}40$ m를 기준으로 상층과 하층의 유동분포가 상이한 경계수심이 존재하였으며, 추계에는 이러한 현상이 3층 구조로 나타났다. 또한 연직유동성분은 수심과 지역에 따라 상승류와 하강류가 번갈아 분포하였으며 이러한 현상은 관측범위를 확장하였을 때도 유사한 유동분포를 보이고 있다. 한편 ADCP의 수평유동성분을 이용하여 계산된 연직전단(vertical shear) 및 상대와도(relative vorticity)는 상승류가 발생하는 지역에서 연직전단은 큰 값을 나타내었고, 상대와도는 +값으로 상승류의 방향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 유동성분의 상승류 분포역과 유사하게 나타났다.

The coherent wake structures behind a spinning cylinder placed in a uniform flow were experimentally investigated by means of phase averaging technique. With a fixed cylinder Reynolds number (Re=6,600), the conditionally sampled velocity vectors were obtained at a section of 3.0 and 10 diameters behind the cylinder for the range of spin parameter S(the ratio of the peripheral velocity to that of the uniform flow) 0 to 2. Spectral analysis and vorticity contours of the velocity data show that up to S=1.2, a Karman vortex street exists within the wake, however, the coherent structures become obscure and their vorticity strength decreases as S increase. Beyond S=1.2, a distinct vortex shedding frequency no longer exists, furthermore coherent structures disappear when S is over 1.6.

The characteristics of methanol and methanol blended (M85) sprays were investigated under atmospheric conditions at various temperature, ranging from on-vaporizing to vaporizing ambient conditions (298∼353 K). From laser scattering images, the macroscopic characteristics of the spray, such as the spray tip penetration and the spray angle, were determined. Entropy concept was introduced to represent homogeneity and PIV analysis was adopted to determine the fluid dynamic information at each location of the spray. The correlation between entropy and vorticity strength enabled us to find their relations. The effect of ambient composition, mainly of viscous effect as affected by CO$_2$levels, was investigated using PIV and entropy analysis. Spray width and entropy value were found to tend to decrease at increased CO$_2$levels.

In order to study the characteristics of the subsurface vortex the flow fields of the three pump sump models were analysed by the numerical simulation. The calculation results show that there are circulation flows in the pump sump model and maximum vorticity strength which make iso-surface from the wall to the pump inlet could be used for predicting the subsurface vortex generation. Also, the flow field for the sump model with anti-vortex devices simulated and the results shows that there is no vorticity value which make iso-surface from the sump wall to the pump inlet.

Recent years have witnessed speed up of moving vehicles such as high-speed of trains. Increase in speed entails concomitant increase in turbulent air flow which contributes toward aerodynamic noise. The proposed method for aerodynamic noise reduction is based on a biomimetic design of owl feather. The five morphological parameters of the owl feather is extracted from close observation, and simulation cases are constructed by applying design of experiments methodology. Swirling strength for each case is obtained through steady-state CFD analysis, and key morphological parameters that affect the turbulence are identified. Large eddy simulations (LES) are then performed on selected cases to predict the air turbulence. Different cases show varying vorticity distribution levels which is expected to lead to varying aerodynamic noise levels.
