In this study, simulation of weak shock waves are peformed by a two-dimensional thermal fluid or compressible fluid model of the lattice Boltzmann method. The shock wave represents an abrupt change in fluids properties, in which finite variations in pressure, internal energies, and density occur over the shock thickness. The characteristics of the proposed model with a simple distribution function is verified by calculation of the sound speeds, and the shock tube problem. The reflection of a weak shock wave by wedge propagating in a channel is performed. The results agree well with those by finite difference method or by experiment. In the simulation of unsteady shock wave diffraction around a sharp corner, we show a flow field of vortical structure near the comer.

High enthalpy test facilities, such as a shock tunnel, are to be operated at the specific pressure ratio according to the desired test condition. A metallic diaphragm is machined or a forced rupture device is used to open it at a specific pressure ratio. The diaphragm opening procedure takes several hundred microseconds including rupture and deformation. This process is expected to affect the test conditions. In this study, numerical simulation was performed for different materials, thicknesses, and opening ratios. And the characteristics of shock wave generation and the stagnation condition in the tube are investigated. Results show that the final opening ratio and rupturing procedure directly affect the speed of a shock wave, stagnation pressure, and test time.

The semi-empirical equation and commercial computational tool were used to predict the base drag of a guided missile with free-stream Mach numbers and chamber pressures, and the results were generally agree each other. Differences in flow characteristics and base drags were observed with over/under expansion conditions by the nozzle. Under the over-expansion condition, the base pressure decreased as the expansion fan was generated at upper region of the base, and base pressure decreased further with increasing free-stream Mach number as the expansion becomes strong. Under the under-expansion conditions, a shock wave was generated around the base by the influence of the nozzle flow, which increased the base pressure, and the effect increased as the chamber pressure increased. Under the same chamber pressure condition, as the free-stream Mach number increases, the characteristic that the base pressure decreases as the shock wave generated at the base moves downstream was observed.

In this paper, wave energy absorption of OWC(oscillating water column) device is analyzed. The analytic model consists of a partially immersed circular vertical cylinder open at its end and an air turbine connected with the air chamber. The boundary value problem is decomposed into scattering problem related to scattering by an incident wave in the absence of a pressure variation and radiation problem describing the flow due to an oscillating pressure in the absence of an incident wave. By invoking the continuity of an air flow inside the chamber, the oscillating pressure in a chamber is derived. With oscillating pressure, the mean power absorbed by OWC device and the capture width are obtained. In numerical calculation, the induced volume flux across the internal free surface of the chamber in the scattering and radiation problem and the maximum capture width are compared with various design parameters such as radius and submergence depth of chamber and wave conditions. The maximum capture width obtained by choosing the optimal value of turbine constant occurs at the first resonant mode (Helmholtz mode) among the natural frequencies of a circular cylinder chamber.

The dependence of voltammetric parameters on the pressure for the reduction of Cu(II) in 0.5M KCl aqueous solution has been studied. In this system micro platinum electrode, standard calomel electrode and a helix type of platinum wire were used as the working, the reference and the auxilary electrode, respectively. With increasing the pressure from 1 to 1,800 bars, the half wave potentials of first reduction wave are shifted to the more negative potentials. And the diffusion currents of first and second reduction wave become considerably larger with increase in pressure from 1 to about 1,000 bars but are getting smaller beyond 1,000 bars. The good linear relationships between diffusion current and the concentrations of Cu(II) are established over all pressure range($1{\sim}1,800$ bars). The reversibility of the each reduction step is not changed with increasing pressure.

Propagation phenomena of nonlinear pressure waves in a bubbly mixture are studied. The governing equations for a bubbly mixture are derived heuristically and energy equation is incorporated with other governing equations to take thermal effects into consideration inside the bubble. This non-isothermal condition of the bubble inside is especially important when high amplitude pressure waves are treated. Keller's equation is adapted for the bubble dynamics as practical problem. Some numerical simulations are carried out for the shock tube problem using a computer program based on the above model. A comparison with experimental results of Noordzij and van Wijngaarden shows that the structure of the wave in the shock tube experiment seems to be much more significantly affected 요 the complex heat transfer phenomena inside the bubbles than by the relative translational motion between bubbles and surrounding liquid.

When a train enters the tunnel at high speed, the pressure wave occurs. When this pressure wave reaches at the exit of tunnel, some are either emitted to the outside or reflected in tunnel by the form of expansion wave. The wave emitted to the outside forms the impulsive pressure wave. This wave is called 'Micro Pressure Wave'. The micro pressure wave generates noise and vibration around a exit portal of tunnel. When it becomes worse, it causes anxiety for residents and damage to windows. Thus, it requires a counterplan and prediction about the micro pressure wave for high speed railway construction. In this paper, the effects of train head nose and tunnel portal shape were investigated by model test, measurement for the micro pressure wave at the operating tunnel as well as numerical analysis for the gradient of pressure wave in the tunnel. As results, a method for predicting the intensity of the micro pressure wave is suggested and then the intensity of the micro pressure wave is analyzed by the tunnel length and the cross-sectional area.

In this study, a method of leakage detection was proposed to locate leak position for a reservoir pipeline valve system using wavelet coherence analysis for an injected pressure wave. An unsteady flow analyzer handled nonlinear valve maneuver and corresponding experimental result were compared. Time series of pressure head were analyzed through wavelet coherence analysis both for no leak and leak conditions. The leak information can be obtained through either time domain reflectometry or the difference in wavelet coherence level, which provide predictions in terms of leak location. The reconstructed pressure signal facilitates the identification of leak presence comparing with existing wavelet coherence analysis.

The Navier-Stokes equations are numerically solved for a two-dimensional small nozzle with the area ratio of 1.8 between the throat and the exit. The shock structures are verified inside the nozzle and near the exit varying with the pressure ratio and the length of the diverging part, respectively. Especially the irregular patterns in the pressure distribution near the throat are analyzed based on the geometric characteristics. It is found that there are similar phenomena in the shock wave structure between the pressure ratio and the length changes. Also there exists a normal shock just between two different oblique shocks crossing each other in special cases.
