A Navier-Stokes code with a modified low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. turbulence model was used to study the unsteady transitional boundary layer flow due to rotor-stator interaction. The modification, proposed by Launder, to improve prediction of stagnation flows was incorporated to the low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. turbulence model by Fan-Lakshminarayana-Barnett. Numerical solution is shown to capture well the calmed laminar flow as well as the wake induced transitional strip due to rotor-stator interaction and shows improvement, in terms of onset of transition and its length, over previous Euler/boundary layer solution. The turbulent kinetic energy shows local maximum along the upstream rotor wake in the wake induced transitional strip and this characteristics is observed untill the end of transition. The wake induced strip also shown apparent even in the laminar sublayer as the upstream rotor wake penetrates inside the boundary layer.

The wake generated by a wind turbine has an effect on performance of a downstream wind turbine as well as mechanical loads. This paper investigated characteristics of fatigue load at the blade root due to the wake effects and quantitatively analyzed its effects at operating condition of a 5MW tripod offshore wind turbine using Bladed 4.1 software. The wake effects was studied the way the wake's center position move from the rotor center to the blade tip to the far-away position where the wake doesn't affect the wind turbine. When wake's center was located on the blade tip or the rotor center, damage equivalent fatigue load was higher than other positions. It was up to 10~14% compared to those of non-wake case. Results of this study would be helpful to design wind turbines and wind farms to have lifetimes more than 20 years of the wind turbine.

점성 액체를 사용한 모사된 GTL공정(직경 0.102 m ${\times}$ 높이 1.5 m)에서 기포에 의해 발생되는 wake의 특성을 고찰하였다. 기체의 유속(0.04 ~ 0.12 m/s)과 액상의 점도(0.001 ~ 0.050 $Pa{\cdot}s$)가 wake의 특성 즉 상승속도, 빈도수, 크기 그리고 체류량에 미치는 영향을 전기저항 탐침법에 의해 결정하였다. 상승하는 단일기포들뿐만 아니라 다중기포의 후면에 형성된 wake 상들도 탐침에 의해 측정된 전기 전도도 요동자료로부터 효과적으로 검침되었다. 유속이 조절되는 압축 여과공기와 CMC 수용액을 각각 분산기체상과 연속액상으로 사용하였다. 실험결과 wake 상의 상승속도와 크기는 기체의 유속 또는 액상의 점도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. wake 상의 체류량과 빈도수는 기체의 유속이 증가함에 따라 증가하였는데, 이는 기체유속의 증가에 따라 공정에 유입되는 기체의 양이 증가하기 때문이다. 그러나, 액상의 점도가 증가함에 따라 기포의 크기와 wake의 크기가 증가하기 때문에 wake의 상의 체류량과 빈도수 값은 wake 상의 액상의 점도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. Wake 상 체류량의 기체의 체류량에 대한 비율은 0.25~0.48의 범위였으며, 이 비율은 액체점도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 기체의 유속이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 본 연구의 실험범위에서 wake 상의 특성들은 운전변수의 상관식으로 잘 나타낼 수 있었다.

This paper presents experimental results and derived experimental equations to investigate the turbulent wake characteristics generated by the self-propelled SUBOFF submarine model. A self-propelled SUBOFF model which was assumed as an axial-symmetric body was used to create wake, and a thin strut was mounted on the topside of the model. The experiments were conducted in a circulating water channel(CWC), and the hot-film was used to measure the turbulence in wake cross-section at the distance range of 0.0~2.0L from the model. The hot film anemometer measured turbulent velocity fluctuations, and the time-averaged mean velocity and turbulent intensity are obtained from the acquired time-series data. Measured results show well the general characteristics of turbulent intensity, kinetic energy and mean velocity distribution. Also, this paper presents derived experimental equations, which is extended result to the reference [1]. These experimental equations show well the general characteristics of the turbulent wake behind the self-propelled submerged body.

The effects of thermal stratification on the flow of a stratified fluid past a circular cylinder were examined in a wind tunnel. In order to produce strong thermal stratifications, a compact heat exchanger type variable electric heater is employed. Linear temperature gradient of up to $250^{\circ}C/m$ can be well sustained. The velocity and temperature profiles in the cylinder wake with a strong thermal gradient of $200^{\circ}C/m$ were measured and the smoke wire flow visualization method was used to investigate the wake characteristics. It is found that the temperature field effects as an active contaminant, so that the mean velocity and temperature profiles can not sustain their symmetricity about the wake centerline when such a strong thermal gradient is superimposed. It is evident that the turbulent mixing in the upper half section is stronger than that of the lower half of the wake in a stably stratified flow.

This paper presents the experimental result to investigate the characteristics of turbulent wake generated by submarine. A SUBOFF nude model which was assumed as an axial -symmetric body was used to create wake, and a thin strut was mounted on the top of the model. The experiments were conducted in a circulating water channel(CWC), and a hot-film was used to measure the turbulence in wake cross-section at the distance range of 0.0~2.0L from the model. The hot film anemometer measured turbulent velocity fluctuations, and the timeaveraged mean velocity and turbulent intensity are obtained from the acquired time-series data. Measured results show well the general characteristics of turbulent intensity, kinetic energy and mean velocity distribution. Also, experimental equations are derived. These experimental equations show well the general characteristics of the turbulent wake behind the submerged body with simple configuration.

The ship wake generated by rotation of the propeller yields changes of characteristics of sound wave such as attenuation and scattering. To develope a battle field environment simulator for military purposes, it is very important to understand acoustical properties of ship wake. Existing research results have limitations in direct application because they performed under simple conditions or model ships were applied. In this study, we developed a ship wake generation model based on the ship's geometric wake distribution theory. The model can provide spatial distribution and void fraction with various marine environments as well as ship size. Through the developed model, geometric distribution features of ship wake according to the ship's maneuvering conditions were successfully simulated. In addition, changes of the bubble void fraction with time at any location within the battle field environment were identified. Therefore, the developed model is expected to be used in the development of a simulator to measure the acoustic characteristics of the ship wake.

When vortex shedding is locked-on to a single frequency oscillatory flow, the variations of vortex dynamics are investigated using a time-resolved PIV system. Wake regions of recirculation and vortex formation, dynamic behavior of the shed vortices and the Reynolds stress fields are measured in the wake-transition regime at the Reynolds number 360. In the lock-on state, reduction of the wake region occurs and flow energy distributed downstream moves upstream being concentrated near the cylinder base. To observe the dynamic behavior of the shed vortices, the trajectory of the vortex center extended to the inside of the wake bubble is considered, which describes well the formation and evolution processes. The Reynolds stresses and their contributions to overall force balance on the wake bubble manifest the increase of the drag force by the lock-on.

평판의 근접 후류에서 상류 경계층의 영향을 조사하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. 트리핑 와이어(tripping wire)의 여러 부착 위치가 경계층의 유동조건을 유발시키기 위하여 선택되었다. 평판 앞전에서부터 0.98C 위치에서의 층류, 천이, 난류경계층이 대칭, 비대칭 후류의 발달과정을 조사하기 위하여 부과되었다. X형태의 열선 프로브(55P61)를 이용한 측정은 근접 후류의 8위치에서 수행되었고, 측정된 평균속도분포는 기존의 후류 상사변수로 무차원화 되어 제시되었다. 대칭 후류는 후류의 중앙부분에서 기존의 상사곡선과 일치하지만, 비대칭 후류는 측정된 범위에서 기존의 상사 곡선과 일치하지 않았다.

The present study addresses a computational work to investigate the influence of a turbulent wake flow on the pressure recovery of a subsonic diffuser. The turbulent wake is generated by a cylinder with a small diameter, which is installed at the inlet of a 2-dimensional diffuser. Computation are applied to three-dimensional steady Navier-Stokes equations. The fully implicit finite volume scheme is used to discretize the governing equations. The computational results are qualitatively well compared to the experimental results. The results show that the pressure recovery of the subsonic diffuser is dependent on the diameter and location of cylinder. It is found that a certain diameter and location of the cylinder to generate the turbulent wake give a better pressure recovery, compared with no cylinder flow.
