The flow pattern of air layers and skin-friction drag reduction by air injection are investigated to find the suitable multiphase flow model using unstructured finite-volume CFD solver for the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. In the present computations, two different multiphase flow modeling approaches, such as the Volume of Fluid (VOF) and the Eulerian Multi-Phase (EMP), are adopted to investigate their performances in resolving the two-phase flow pattern and in estimating the frictional drag reduction. First of all, the formation pattern of air layers generated by air injection through a circular opening on the bottom of a flat plate are investigated. These results are then compared with those of MMkiharju's experimental results. Subsequently, the quantitative ratios of skin-friction drag reduction including the behavior of air layers, within turbulent boundary layers in large scale and at high Reynolds number conditions, are investigated under the same conditions as the model test that has been conducted in the US Navy's William B. Morgan Large Cavitation Channel (LCC). From these results, it is found that both VOF and EMP models have similar capability and accuracy in capturing the topology of ventilated air cavities so called'air pockets and branches'. However, EMP model is more favorable in predicting quantitatively the percentage of frictional drag reduction by air injection.

고속열차의 공기저항 저감을 위해 KTX-산천의 구성요소별 공기저항을 상세하게 분석하였다. 전체 공기저항의 약 42.9%는 동력차(선두차, 후미차)에서 그리고 약 10.1%는 대차에서 유발되는 것으로 나타났다. 전두부의 공기저항 저감을 위해 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno 기법을 이용한 전두부 최적설계를 수행하였다. 그리고 차체 공기저항 저감을 위해 동력차 형상 변화 및 대차커버를 적용하였다. 공기저항 저감을 위해 최적설계된 편성열차의 공기저항은 KTX-산천 대비 약 15.0% 저감되었으며, 주행저항은 속도 350km/h에서 약 12% 감소될 것으로 예상된다.

This paper has dealt with the effect of non ionized surfactant and water mixture on drag reduction and heat transfer enhancement in a circular pipe flow with experimentally. The test section was consisted of stainless steel pipe with inside diameter of 16mm. The wire coil was used to increase heat transfer in a pipe and the on ionized surfactant(Oleyl Dihydroxyethyl Amino Oxide, ODEAO) was used to reduce the drag force of water mixture with surfactant. The main parameters of this experiment were diameter and pitch of wire coil and the ratio of test section length and horizontal wire coil length. In this experiment, the acquired results were 1) Drag reduction effect existed in this ODEAO-water mixture, 2) Friction factor and heat transfer were increased with insertion the heat transfer enhancement coil, 3) With increasing of pitch ratio, heat transfer was decreased, and 4) Heat transfer was decreased by the decreasing of inserting coil diameter.

Experimental investigation has been carried out to determine drag reducing effects of polymer additives for a plate type heat exchanger(evaporator or condenser) in OTEC power plant applications, where the pressure drop in the heat exchangers takes up $70{\sim}80%$ of the total pumping power in the existing system. The rate of drag reduction was investigated with various polymer concentrations and mass flow rates. Experiments were undertaken for a test section in Alfa-Laval plate heat exchanger utilizing Poly Ethylene Oxide(Mw $5{\times}10^6$) as polymer additives. Concentrations of polymer additives were 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 400 wppm at $25^{\circ}C$ and mass flow rates were 0.6kg/s, 0.7kg/s, 0.8kg/s and 0.9kg/s in normal operating ranges for a 15kW Alfa-Laval plate heat exchanger. The maximum effects of drag reductions were found at approximately 0.7kg/s of mass flow rate. The results show that there exists the optimum mass flow rate for the plate heat exchanger to obtain maximum drag reductions. Drag reduction of 20% means considerable savings in pumping power for a large size of OTEC plant.

The flaw around a ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) has been numerically investigated to improve resistance performance by modifying the hull form of the ROV. For the base hull form considered in this study, the form drag rather than the friction drag is dominant to the total drag Subsequently, the surfaces on which the local pressure highly acts have been modified to produce the streamlined-shape. Based on the surface modification, seven different hull forms have been chosen as candidates for drag reduction. Among the candidates, the semi-sphericalized housing and the streamlined-bow achieved greatest drag reduction comparing with the others. Consequently, the hull form combined with the semi-sphericalized housing and the streamlined-bow gave approximately 17% drag reduction at the design velocity of 3 knots.

An active flow control technique based on "smart-tabs" is proposed to delay flow separation on a circular cylinder. The actuators are retractable and orientable multilayer piezoelectric tabs which protrude perpendicularly from the model surface. They are mounted along the spanwise direction with constant spacing. The effectiveness of the control was tested in pre-critical and in post-critical regime by evaluating the effects of several control parameters of the tabs like frequency, amplitude, height, angular position and plate incidence with respect to the local flow. Measurements of the mean static pressure distribution around the cylinder were used to estimate the pressure drag coefficient. The maximum drag reduction achieved in the pre-critical regime was of the order of 30%, whereas in the post-critical regime was about 10%, 3% of which due to active forcing. Furthermore, pressure fluctuation measurements were performed and spectral analysis indicated an almost complete suppression of the vortex shedding in active forcing conditions.

본 연구는 정방형주의 후류측으로 분리된 분할판(Detached splitter plate)을 설치한 경우 정방형주의 항력저감특성을 분할판의 폭과 정방형주 후면에서부터 분할판까지의 간격을 변수로 하여 양 항력측정 실험으로 파악한 것이다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 양 항력의 시간변화를 측정해 본 결과 정방형주의 후류측에 분리된 분할판을 설치한 경우가 본래의 정방형주에 비해 양력의 진폭이 대폭 감소했다. 분할판의 폭비를 고정시킨 경우 정방형주의 항력감소율은 간격비가 증가할수록 증가하다 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 같은 간격비에서는 분할판의 폭비가 클수록 정방형주의 항력감소율이 컸으며, 폭비 H/B=1.5, 간격비 G/B=0.5에서 최대 24.2%의 항력감소율을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 회전원판 장치를 사용하여 난류 유동장에서의 고분자에 의해 유도되는 마찰저항 감소효과에 대하여 조사하였다. 해양온도차 발전에서 해수를 이동시키는 유동장은 난류상태로 이러한 난류계에 대하여 마찰저항 감소는 충분한 적용가치가 있다. 네가지의 분자량이 다른 PEO를 마찰저항 첨가제로, 실험실에서 제조한 인공해수를 용매로 사용하여 고분자의 분자량, 고분자의 농도와 원판의 회전속도와 괌이 마찰저항 감소효과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 여러 인자들에 대해서 살펴보았다. 마찰저항 감소의 농도의존성은 Virk의 Universal correlation를 따르는 것을 확인하였다. 해수에서도 PEO와 용매간의 Universal 곡선이 증류수를 용매로 하였을 때와 동일함을 확인하였다.

The fluid mechanics and heat transfer of surfactant turbulent pipe flows are characterized with particular emphasis on the effects of surfactant concentration and solution temperature on drag reduction and heat transfer reduction. The test fluids are the surfactant solutions of DR-IW616 supplied by Akzo Nobel Chemical in concentration of $100{\sim}3000ppm$. The solution temperatures studied are $5^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. The critical values of surfactant concentration and solution temperature are clearly identified for drag reduction phenomena.

In the present study, an experimental assessment has been made of the drag reducing efficiency of the outer-layer vertical blades, which were first devised by Hutchins(1). A detailed flow field measurements have been performed using 2-D time resolved PIV with a view to enabling the identification of drag reduction mechanism. In addition, an experimental investigation has been made of the applicability of outer-layer vertical blades to real ship model. The arrays of outer-layer vertical blades have been installed onto the flat side and flat bottom of a 300k KVLCC model. A series of towing tank test has been carried out to investigate resistance (CTM) reduction efficiency with various geometric parameters and installed places of blades. The installation of vertical blades led to the CTM reduction of 1.44~3.17% near the service speed.
