Numerical analysis on turbulent flow and heat transfer in the rocket nozzle has been studied using the mass-weighted-averaged full Navier-Stokes equations, the Morkovin hypothesis on turbulent flow, the $\textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model with the wall function specially designed to be able to consider the effects of pressure gradients, heat transfer and compressibility, and the numerical scheme of Karki. The present results are in good agreement with the experiments of Back et al.

A numerical analysis is performed to analyze the reacting flow-field of an axisymetric coaxial ramjet combustor. Two dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with low Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model is utilized and finite-rate chemistry model is adopted. Eddy dissipation model is applied for a modeling of turbulent combustion. Two different types of combustors (combustor with a suddenly expanded dump and combustor with wedge-shaped flame holders) are compared in a view point of flame stabilizing.

The flow analysis is made to simulate the turbulent flow in the pipe with an obstacle. The models used are k-$\epsilon$, k-$\omega$, Spalart-Allmaras and Reynolds. The structured grid is used for the simulation The velocity vector, the pressure contour, the change of residual along the iteration number and the dynamic head are simulated for the comparison of four example cases. For the analysis, the commercial code is used.

This paper presents a numerical optimization method to design geometric shape of streamwise periodic ribs mounted on one of the principal walls to enhance turbulent heat transfer in a rectangular channel flow. The golden section method is used for the one dimensional search. The optimization is based on Wavier-Stokes analysis of turbulent forced convection with $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The width-to-height ratio of a rib is chosen as a design variable. The object function is defined as an inverse of average Nusselt number. An optimum shape of the rib has been obtained with reasonable computing time.

A digital wave tank (DWT) simulation technique has been developed by authors to investigate the interactions of fully nonlinear waves with 3D marine structures. A finite-difference/volume method and a modified marker-and-cell (MAC) algorithm have been used, which are based on the Navier-Stokes (NS) and continuity equations. The fully nonlinear kinematic free-surface condition is implemented by the marker-density function (MDF) technique or the Level-Set (LS) technique developed for one or two fluid layers. In this paper, some applications for various engineering problems with free-surface are introduced and discussed. It includes numerical simulation of marine environments by simulation equipments, fully nonlinear wave motions around offshore structures, nonlinear ship waves, ship motions in waves and marine flow simulation with free-surface. From the presented simulations, it seems that the developed DWT simulation technique can handle various engineering problems with free-surface and reliably predict hydrodynamic features due to the fully-nonlinear wave motions interacting with such marine structures.

Characteristics of turbulence beneath the free surface around a blunt bow are numerically-investigated. Three dimensional wavier-Stokes and continuity equations are solved for the simulations.. The Large Eddy Simulation(LES) with the external disturbance is performed to simulate the turbulent free surface flow called sub-breaking wave. The result shows that the free surface fluctuates beyond a certain critical condition and the characteristics of the fluctuation are similar to the turbulent boundary layer flow around a solid body.

A computation using the mass-averaged implicit Wavier-Stokes equations has been applied to solve the flow fields of the supersonic jets normally injected into supersonic freestreams and several types of turbulence model has been employed to close the governing equations. The ratio of the freestream to injection flow total pressures has been varied to elucidate the major characteristics of the mixing flow of the two streams. The freestream Mach number has been varied to investigate some change in the injection flow field. The results show that the positions of the separation and reattachment, locating upstream and downstream of the injection hole respectively, are strongly dependent on the ratio of total pressures and the freestream Mach number.

Navier-Stokes simulation of the flow in a micro viscous pump is carried out. The micro viscous pump consists of a rotating circular rotor placed in a two dimensional channel. All simulation is carried out by using a finite volume approach, at the Reynolds number of 0.5, to study the performance of the micro viscous pump. Length of channel of the pump is varied to simulate the effects of the pumping load. Numerical solutions show that the net flow of the pump is realized by two counter rotating vortices formed on both sides of the rotor. The volume flow rate of the pump is decreased as length of the channel is increased, while the static pressure difference across the rotor is increased. The static pressure difference across the rotor is observed to be inversely proportional to the volume flow rate as inertia effects are negligibly small. The efficiency of the pump is found to reach a maximum when two counter rotating vortices on both sides of the rotor becomes to merge forming an outer enveloping vortex.

Shape of a multi-blades centrifugal fan is optimized by response surface method based on three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis. For numerical analysis, Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations with standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model are transformed into non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Due to the large number of blades in this centrifugal fan, the flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow by introducing the impeller force models for economic calculations. Optimizations with and without constraints are carried out. Design variables, location of cur off, radius of cut off, expansion angle of scroll and width of impeller were selected to optimize the shapes of scroll and blades. Data points for response evaluations were selected by D-optimal design, and linear programming method was used for the optimization on the response surface. As a main result of the optimization, the efficiency was successfully improved. The correlation of efficiency with relative size of inactive zone at the exit of impeller is discussed as well as with average momentum fluxes in the scroll.

Segregation algorithms of the incompressible Wavier-Stokes equations using P1P1/P2P1 finite element formulation are newly proposed. P1P1 formulation allocates velocity and pressure at the same nodes, while P2P1 formulation allocates pressure only at the vertex nodes and velocity at both the vertex and the midpoint nodes. For a comparison of both the elapsed time and the accuracy between the two methods, they have been applied to the well-known benchmark problems. The three cases chosen are the two-dimensional steady and unsteady flows around a fixed cylinder, decaying vortex, and impinging slot jet. It is shown that the proposed P2P1 semi-segregation algorithm performs better than the conventional P1P1 segregation algorithm in terms of both accuracy and computation time.
