The thermocapillary flow in a differentially heated cylindrical liquid bridge under steady rotation of the hot disk is considered in the limit of zero capillary number. Steady flow states and their three-dimensional stability are calculated numerically. A linear stability analysis reveals that the most dangerous perturbations are oscillatory with azimuthal wavenumber m=1 or m=2 depending on the parameters.

이연구에서는 유변학 구성방정식이 나타내는 일차원 불안정성의 몇가지 예를 보였 다. 안정성 해석을 위하여 맥스웰형 미분구성방정식 Giesekus, Leonov, Larson 모델을 선택 하였다. 나타난 불안정성은 단순전단유동에서의 정상유동곡석이 무제한적 단수증가성을 위 배할 때 발생한다. 단순전단유동에 부과된 섭동하에서 Giesekus와 Larson 모델이 일정영역 의 무델계수와 전단율속도값에서 불안정 거동은 관성력을 고려하지 않은 경우에도 발생함이 증명되었다. 끝으로 이러한 불안정 거동을 개선하는 몇가지 방법을 Leonv와 Giesekus 모델 에 대하여 제시하였다.

This paper deals with the CFD analysis of cavitating flow in the mixed-flow pump with the specific speed of 1.64 which suffers from a high level of noise and vibrations close to the optimal flow coefficient. The ANSYS CFX package has been used to solve URANS equations together with the Rayleigh-Plesset model and the SST-SAS turbulence model has been employed to capture highly unsteady phenomena inside the pump. The CFD analysis has provided a good picture of the cavitation structures inside the pump and their dynamics for a wide range of flow coefficients and NPSH values. Cavitation instabilities were detected at 70% of the optimal flow coefficient close to the NPSH3 value (NPSH3 is the net positive suction head required for the 3% drop of the total head of the pump).

Cavitation instabilities in turbo-machinery such as cavitation surge and rotating cavitation are usually explained by the quasi-steady characteristics of cavitation, mass flow gain factor and cavitation compliance. However, there are certain cases when it is required to take account of unsteady characteristics. As an example of such cases, cavitation surge in industrial centrifugal pump caused by backflow vortex cavitation is presented and the importance of the phase delay of backflow vortex cavitation is clarified. First, fundamental characteristics of backflow vortex structure is shown followed by detailed discussions on the energy transfer under cavitation surge in the centrifugal pump. Then, the dynamics of backflow is discussed to explain a large phase lag observed in the experiments with the centrifugal pump.

The instabilities in rocket engines and gas turbine combustors due to the interaction between the fluid flow (acoustics) and the heat transfer (thermal energy) are called thermoacoustic or combustion instabilities. Almost all analysis assumes constant hot section temperature for Modern mathematical analysis of acoustic oscillations in Rijke type devices. However, it is impossible to predict whether a system is stable or not because the flame or heater response model can have a dramatic effect on predicted growth rates. In this study, A standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model and hybrid combustion model(eddy breakup model and chemical reaction) were used. After steady solution was gotten, unsteady calculation is simulated by perturbating on pressure boundary. As a result, we obtained the relationship of equivalence ratio and frequency by numerical simulation, and they are comparable to the experimental result. In addition, in spite of these results, there are limitations of using turbulent and combustion model in simulation method of thermoacoutic instability

A numerical parametric study is conducted to simulate shock-induced combustion with a variation in freestream conditions. The analysis is limited to inviscid flow and includes chmical nonequilibrium. A steady combustion front is established if the freestream Mach number is above the Chapman-Jouguet speed of the mixture. On the other, an unsteady reaction fi:ont is established if the freestream Mach number is below or at the Chapman-Jouguet speed of the mixture. The three cases have been simulated for Machs 4.18, 5.11, and 6.46 with a projectile diameter of 15 mm. Machs 4.18 and 5.11 shows an unsteady reaction front, whereas Mach 6.46 represents a steady reaction front. Thus Chapman-Jouguet speed is one of deciding factor for the instabilities to trigger. The instabilities of the chemical front with a variation of projectiles diameters will be investigated.

The transient incompressible flow behind the axisymmetric bluff body is numerically simulated using the random vortex method(RVM). Based on the vorticity formulation of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations, the Lagrangian approach with a stochastic simulation of diffusion using random walk technique is employed to account for the transport processes of the vortex elements. The numerical solutions for 2-dimensional recirculating flow behind a backward-facing step in the laminar range of Reynolds number are compared with experimental data. The present simulation focuses on the transitional flow regime where the recirculation zone behind the bluff body becomes highly unsteady and large-scale vortex eddies are shed from the bluff body wake due to intrinsic shear layer instabilities. The unsteady vertical flow structures and the mixing characteristics behind the bluff body are discussed in detail.

In the present study, a transient incompressible viscous turbulent flow is simulated for the automotive torque converter with moving mesh technique. For the analysis, entire torque converter flow passages are modeled. Computed torque ratio, capacity factor and efficiency show a good agreement with the experiment data. The flow instabilities characterized by back-flow and wake etc. appeared in some cascade passages are shown to be Propagating along tangential direction. These flow patterns are mainly influenced by the pump and turbine blade passing and can't be predicted through conventional steady simulation with a mixing plane approach. The understanding of the unsteady flow characteristics in a torque converter achieved in the present study may lead to the optimal design of a torque converter.
