Momentum exchange theory has been generally used for an analysis of the regenerative turbomachines due to its direct description of the complicate circulatory flow. However, because its application is limited only to linear region and its model equations are incomplete on three variables, it needs further refinements. In the present study it is improved by introducing a central pivot of circulatory flow. Also, by assuming linear circulatory velocity distribution, mean radii of inlet and outlet flows through the impeller are newly suggested. By applying control volume analysis to both linear region and the acceleration region, the governing equation on the circulatory velocity is derived. As a result, systematic performance analysis on the entire region of the incompressible regenerative turbomachines can be carried out based on the proposed model equations.

A two dimensional hierarchical elements are investigated for a use on the incompressible flow computation. The construction of hierarchical elements are explained through the tensor product of 1-D hierarchical functions, and a systematic treatment of essential boundary values has been developed for the degrees of freedom corresponding to higher order terms. The numerical study for the poisson problem showed that the present scheme can increase the convergence and accuracy of finite element solutions, and can be more efficient than the standard first order with many elements. Also, for Stokes and cavity flow cases, solutions from hierarchical elements showed better resolutions and future promises for higher order solutions.

Vortex methods were originally conceived as a tool to model the evolution of unsteady, incompressible, high Reynolds number flows of engineering interest. Recently various methods have been proposed for simulating the diffusion in vortex methods for two-dimensional incompressible flows. We test the diffusion schemes of vortex methods. In this paper we directly compare the particle strength exchange scheme with the vorticity redistribution scheme in tenus of their accuracy and computational efficiency. Comparisons between both viscous models described are presented for short-time runs of impulsively started flows past a circular cylinder for Reynolds number of 60. The particle strength exchange scheme has been shown more accurate and efficient than the vorticity redistribution scheme.

This paper presents unsteady computational investigations and wind tunnel tests on the flow field around a square cylinder with a gap between the body and the ground plane. Two-dimensional unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes codes are developed for the computation of the viscous turbulent flows. By computing the flow around a square cylinder without ground effect, three two-equation turbulence models are evaluated and the developed code is validated. The results show a good agreement with experimental values and other computational results. Critical gap height at which the formation of Karman vortex streets is interrupted, is demonstrated and another transition regime is pointed out

In this study, three-dimensional incompressible viscous flow analysis and optimization using response surface method are presented for the design of a jet fan. Steady, incompressible, three-dimensional Reynolds averaged Wavier-Stokes equations are used as governing equations, and standard k-$\epsilon$ turbulence model is chosen as a turbulence model. Governing equations are discretized using finite volume method. Sweep angles and maximum thickness of blade are used as design variables for the shape optimization of the impeller in response surface method. The experimental points which are needed to construct response surface are obtained from the D-optimal design and Full Factorial design and relations between design variables and response surface are examined.

Computational analysis of incompressible flows by numerically solving Navier-Stokes equations using multi-block finite volume method is conducted on a parallel computing system. Numerical algorithms adopted in this study $include^{(1)}$ QUICK upwinding scheme for convective $terms,^{(2)}$ central differencing for other terms $and^{(3)}$ the second-order Euler differencing for time-marching procedure. Structured grids are used on the body-fitted coordinate with multi-block concept which uses overlaid grids on the block-interfacing boundaries. Computational code is parallelized on the MPI environment. Numerical accuracy of the computational method is verified by solving a benchmark test case of the flow inside two-dimensional rectangular cavity. Computation in the axial compressor cascade is conducted by using 4 PE's md, as results, no numerical instabilities are observed and it is expected that the present computational method can be applied to the turbomachinery flow problems without major difficulties.

This paper describes the flow field analysis of an automobile with crosswind effects of 15°, 30° 45° and 60° of yaw angles. The governing equations of the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the iterative time marching scheme. The Chimera grid technique has been applied to efficiently simulate the flow around the side-view mirror. The computated surface pressure coefficients have been compared with experimental results and a good agreement has been achieved. The A- and C-pillar vortex and other flow phenomena around the ground vehicle are evidently shown. The variation of aerodynamic coefficients of drag, lift, side force and moments with respect to yaw angle is systematically studied.

A two-layer incompressible time-accurate Euler solver is applied to analyze flow fields around a submerged body moving at a critical speed near a pycnocline. Discontinuities in the dependent variables across the material interface are captured without any dissipation or oscillation using the ghost fluid method on an unstructured grid. It is shown that the material interlace has significant effects on forces acting on a submerged body moving near a pycnocline regardless of the small difference in densities of two layers. Contrary to the shallow water waves, a submerged body can reach a critical speed at very low Froude number due to the small difference in the densities of the two layers.

Three-dimensional incompressible flow past an open cavity in a channel is investigated using Detached Eddy Simulation(DES). The length to depth ratio of the cavity is 2 and the Reynolds number defined with the cavity depth is 3,360. The DES methods are based on the Menter's SST model. In the present work, two types of inflow conditions are used: one is RANS profile, the other is LES inflow from another Large Eddy Simulation(LES) of fully developed channel flow. The results are compared with experimental data and LES results in terms of the mean statistics, temporal physics and scalar transport phenomenon of the flow.
