Variabilities in the solar wind cause disturbances throughout the heliosphere on all temporal and spatial scales, which leads to changeable space weather. As a view of space weather forecasting, in particular, it is important to know direct and indirect causes modulating the space environment near the Earth in advance. Recently, there are discussions on a role of the interaction of the solar wind with Mercury in affecting the solar wind velocity in the Earth's neighborhood during its inferior conjunctions. In this study we investigate a question of whether other parameters describing the space environment near the Earth are modulated by the inner planets' wake, by examining whether the interplanetary magnetic field and the proton density in the solar wind observed by the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, and the geomagnetic field via the Dst index and Auroral Electrojet index (AE index) are dependent upon the relative position of the inner planets. We find there are indeed apparent variations. For example, the mean variations of the geomagnetic fields measured in the Earth's neighborhood apparently have varied with a timescale of about 10 to 25 days. Those variations in the parameters we have studied, however, turn out to be a part of random fluctuations and have nothing to do with the relative position of inner planets. Moreover, it is found that variations of the proton density in the solar wind, the Dst index, and the AE index are distributed with the Gaussian distribution. Finally, we point out that some of properties in the behavior of the random fluctuation are to be studied.

The flow around a circular cylinder was controlled by attaching O-rings to reduce drag force acting on the cylinder. Four experimental models were tested in this study; one smooth cylinder of diameter D (D=60mm) and three cylinders fitted with O-rings of diameters d=0.0167 D, 0.05D and 0.067 D with pitches of PPD=2D, 1D, 0.5D and 0.25D. The drag force, mean velocity and turbulence Intensity profiles in the near wake behind the cylinders were measured for Reynolds numbers based on the cylinder diameter in the range of Re$_{D}$=7.8$\times$10$^3$~1.2$\times$10$^{5}$ . At Re$_{D}$=1.2$\times$10$^{5}$ , the cylinder fitted with O-rings of d=0.0167D in a pitch interval of 0.25D shows the maximum drag reduction of about 5.4%, compared that with the smooth cylinder. The drag reduction effect of O-rings of d=0.067D is not so high. For O-ring circulars, as the Reynolds number increases, the peak location of turbulence intensity shifts downstream and the peak magnitude is decreased. Flow field around the cylinders was visualized using a smoke-wire technique to see the flow structure qualitatively. The size of vortices and vortex formation region formed behind the O-ring cylinders are smaller, compared with the smooth cylinder.der.

본 연구는 정렬배열 및 엇갈림배열 상태에 놓인 원주군 주위의 유동장 특성을 와법으로 수치계산한 것이다. 계산은 피치 비 Pt/D=1.25~2.0, 레이놀즈 수 Re=$4.0{\times}10^1{\sim}4.0{\times}10^4$의 범위 내에서 각 유동장의 순간 볼텍스 분포, 순간 속도분포를 계산하였다. 정렬배열 및 엇갈림 배열 모두 각 원주의 상방에서는 시계방향의, 하방에서는 반시계방향의 볼텍스가 발생하였다. 각 배열 모두 원주군 후방에서 역류의 발생여부는 피치 비와 레이놀즈 수에 기인하며, 같은 레이놀즈 수에서는 피치 비가 작을수록, 그리고 같은 피치 비에서는 레이놀즈 수가 클수록 원주군 후방에서 역류발생이 쉽게 일어났다. 그리고 그 경계영역은 정렬배열의 경우 피치 비 Pt/D=1.5, 레이놀즈 수 Re=400~4,000, 엇갈림 배열의 경우 피치 비 Pt/D=1.4, 레이놀즈 수 Re=40~400에 존재했다.

유한체적법을 기반으로 나비에 스톡스 방정식을 비구조격자로 풀어 실린더 주위의 공력특성을 규명하였다. 보텍스, 속도, 압력, 잔차, 항력계수 등의 데이터를 가지고 분석하였고 레이놀즈 수는 50, 100이다. 유동특성은 Re>50에서 주기적으로 진동하는 소용돌이를 후류에 형성하며 이 현상은 이동하는 실린더에서도 유사한 현상을 보여 주었다. 지면효과는 실린더 위쪽에서 형성된 소용돌이가 벽면에 근접할수록 실린더의 후방으로 길게 늘어나는 형상을 보이고, 실린더와 근접벽면 사이의 유속이 정체되어 실린더와 벽면 사이의 간격이 0.6 에서는 근접 평판과 실린더 사이의 유동이 거의 끊겨짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 수치계산의 검증을 위하여 항력계수를 타 연구결과와 비교하였다.

In the present study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, together with the equations of the $k-{\varepsilon}$ model of turbulence, were solved numerically in a general body-fitted coordinate system for three-dimensional turbulent flows around the six basic shapes of the magnetically levitated train(MAGLEV). The numerical computations were conducted on the MAGLEV model configurations to provide information on shapes of this type very near the elevated track at a constant Reynolds number of $1.48{\times}10^{6}$ based on the body length. The coordinate system was generated by numerically solving a set of Poisson equations. The convective transport equations were discretized using the finite-analytic scheme which employed analytic solutions of the locally-linearized equations. A time marching algorithm was employed to enable future extensions to be made to handle unsteady and fully-elliptic problems. The pressure-velocity coupling was treated with the SIMPLER-algorithm. Of particular interests were wall effect by the elevated track on the aerodynamic forces and flow characteristics of the six models calculated. The results indicated that the half-circle configuration with extended sides and with smooth curvature of sides was desirable because of the low aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. And it was found that the separation bubble was occured at wake region in near the elevated track.

The purpose of the study is to assess the extinguishing concentration of inert gases in engine nacelle fire. The experiment was performed with a two dimensional rectangular bluff body stabilized flames, where the fuel was ejected to counter flow and co-flow against an oxidizer stream. Two inert gases, $CO_2$ and $N_2$, were used for extinguishing agent in the oxidizer and methane was used for fuel. The main experimental parameters were the direction of injecting fuel, the kinds of agent and the velocity ratio between air and fuel streams, which controlled the mixing characteristic near bluff body and the strength of recirculation zone in the downstream. The result shows the flame structure and the mode were strongly dependent with fuel/air ratio and the fuel jet direction. For both flow configurations, the extinguishing concentration of $CO_2$ was smaller than the $N_2$ because of the large heat capacity of $CO_2$. However, the concentration of inert gasesat blowout was much smaller than those in the cup burner and coflow jet diffusion flames, which implies that the extinction mechanism of bluff body stabilized flames was mainly due to the aerodynamic aspect. Compared to co-flow fuel injection, the extinguishing concentration of inert gases under counter flow configuration was lower. The effect of direction might result from the mixing characteristic and strength of recirculation zonearound a bluff body. More details should be investigated for the characteristic of recirculation zone in the wake of bluff body using the LES(Large Eddy Simulation).

유속의 변화에 따른 오일펜스 만곡부 후면의 속도장과 압력장, 와도 및 난류 강도를 계측한 PIV 실험의 결과 유속이 증가함에 따라 유동 경계역의 후면부에서의 흐름 방향이 전면부의 흐름 방향에 가까워지는 현상이 나타났고, 압력 분포의 양상이 달라졌으며 난류도 더욱 불규칙적인 형태로 나타났다. PIV 실험과 동일 조건으로 수행한 CFD 해석 결과, 후류의 유동 패턴이 0.3m/s이하의 저속인 경우는 PIV 실험 결과와 유사하게 나타났으나, 유속이 0.4m/s일 때는 오일펜스 자체의 유연성으로 인해 다소 차이가 나타났고, 오일펜스 하단의 압력차로 인한 불규칙한 난류가 수면까지 영향을 주었다.

원통 모델에 공기저항저감 효과를 검증하기 위해서 원통형에 적합한 유연성 플라즈마 구동기를 제작하였다. 다양한 풍속에서 플라즈마 유동제어 풍동시험을 수행하였으며, CFD 해석과 유동가시화를 수행하였다. 풍속이 느린 저속 구간에서는 유동박리가 발생하지 않아 플라즈마 유동제어 효과가 없었다. 풍속 14 m/s 에서 14% 정도 항력이 저감되었으며, 풍속이 증가된 17 m/s 의 경우 항력이 27% 저감되었다. CFD 해석과 유동가시화의 비교를 통해 DBD플라즈마 구동기는 원통 주변의 압력차를 감소시켜 와류의 크기가 줄어든 것으로 확인되었다.

The flowfield behind two cylinders and flow-induced noise generated from the cylinders in various arrangement are numerically investigated based on the finite difference lattice Boltzmann model with 21 velocity bits. which is introduced a flexible specific heat ${\gamma}$ to simulate diatomic gases like air. In an isolated cylinder with two type of mesh. some flow parameters such as Strouhal number $S_t$ and acoustic pressure ${\Delta}p$ simulated from the solution are given and quantitatively compared with those provided the previous works. The effects of the center-to-center pitch ratio $L_{cc}/d=2.0$ in staggered circular cylinders as shown in Fig. 1 and angles of incidence ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}(T_{cc}/d=0.5)$, $45^{\circ}(T_{cc}/d =0.707)$ and $60^{\circ}\;(T_{cc}/d=0.866)$, respectively, are studied. Our analysis focuses on the small-scale instabilities of vortex shedding, which occurs in staggered arrangement. With the results of drag $C_d$ and lift $C_l$ coefficients and vorticity contours. the mechanisms of the interference phenomenon and its interaction with the two-dimensional vortical structures are present in the flowfields under $Re\;{\le}\;200$. The results show that we successively capture very small pressure fluctuations, with the same frequency of vortex shedding, much smaller than the whole pressure fluctuation around pairs of circular cylinders. The upstream cylinder behaves like an isolated single cylinder, while the downstream one experiences wake-induced flutter. It is expected that, therefore, the relative position of the downstream cylinder has significant effects on the flow-induce noise, hydrodynamic force and vortex shedding characteristics of the cylinders.

The turbulent flow with wake, reattachment and recirculation is a very important problem that is related to vehicle dynamics and aerodynamics. The Smagorinsky Model (SM), the Dynamics Subgrid Scale Model (DSM), and the Lagrangian Dynamic Subgrid Scale Model (LDSM) are used to predict the three-dimensional flow field around a bluff body model. The Reynolds number used is 45,000 based on the bulk velocity and the height of the bluff body. The fully developed turbulent flow, which is generated by the driver part, is used for the inlet boundary condition. The Convective boundary condition is imposed on the outlet boundary condition, and the Spalding wall function is used for the wall boundary condition. We compare the results of each model with the results of the PIV measurement. First of all, the LES predicts flow behavior better than the k-$\xi$ turbulence model. When ew compare various LES models, the DSM and the LDSM agree with the PIV experimental data better than the SM in the complex flow, with the separation and the reattachment at the upper front part of th bluff body. But in the rear part of the bluff body, the SM agrees with the PIV experimental results better than them. In this case, the SM predicts overall flow behavior better than the DSM nd the LDSM.
