This paper deals with the experimental study on the flow characteristics in straight flow can type combustor which has been used for high pressure ratio gas turbine combustor. The author has investigated the effects of swirl number and secondary air hole arrays in axial position on the flow characteristics by adopting the tuft method and 5-Hole Pilot Tube. From these experiments, as the swirl number increases, the results obtained is that the area of recirculation zone becomes wide and the position of vortex-core region approaches to the near of fuel nozzle in the model combustor. The most favourable penetration is obtained when secondary air jet is introduced through the air holes distributed in the form of paralled two rows in axial position of model combustor.

The characteristics of flow and pollutant dispersion for fire scenarios in an urban area are numerically investigated. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled to a mesoscale weather research and forecasting (WRF) model is used in this study. In order to more accurately represent the effect of topography and buildings, the geographic information system (GIS) data is used as an input data of the CFD model. Considering prevailing wind, firing time, and firing points, four fire scenarios are setup in April 2008 when fire events occurred most frequently in recent five years. It is shown that the building configuration mainly determines wind speed and direction in the urban area. The pollutant dispersion patterns are different for each fire scenario, because of the influence of the detailed flow. The pollutant concentration is high in the horse-shoe vortex and recirculation zones (caused by buildings) close to the fire point. It thus means that the potential damage areas are different for each fire scenario due to the different flow and dispersion patterns. These results suggest that the accurate understanding of the urban flow is important to assess the effect of the pollutant dispersion caused by fire in an urban area. The present study also demonstrates that CFD model can be useful for the assessment of urban environment.

Stenosis is the drastic reduction in the cross-sectional area of blood vessel caused by accumulations of cholesterol. It affects the blood flow property and structure from the fluid dynamic point of view. To understand the flow phenomenon more clearly, a particle image velocimetry method is used and the fluid dynamic characteristics in a circular channel containing stenosis structure is investigated experimentally in this study. Different stenotic-structured models made of acrylic material are subjected to a pulsatile flow generated by an in-house designed pulsatile pump. The inner diameter of the tube inlet is 20 mm and the length of reduced area for stenosis ranges between 35mm and 40mm. It is circulated continuously through a circular channel by the pump system. Pressure is measured at four different sections during systolic and diastolic phase changes. The phase-averaged velocity field distribution shows a recirculation regime after the stenotic structure. The effects of the stenotic obstructions are found to be more severe when the aspect ratio is varied.

The objective of the present study is to visualize the pulsatile flow fields by using three-dimensional computer simulation and the PIV system. A closed flow loop system was built for the steady and unsteady experiments. The Harvard pulsatile pump was used to generate the pulsatile pressure and velocity waveforms. Conifer powder as the tracing particles was added to water to visualize the flow field. Two consecutive particle images were captured by a CCD camera for the image processing. The cross-correlation method in combination with the moving searching area algorithm was applied for the image processing of the flow visualization. The pulsatile flow fields were visualized effectively by the PIV system in conjunction with the applied algorithm. The range validation and the area interpolation methods were used to obtain the final velocity vectors with high accuracy. The finite volume predictions were used to analyze three-dimensional flow patterns in the bifurcation model. The results of the PIV experiment and the computer simulation are in good agreement and the results show the recirculation zones and formation of the paired secondary flow distal to the apex of the bifurcated model. The results also show that the branch flow is pushed strongly to the inner wall due to the inertial force effect and helical motions are generated as the flow proceeds toward the outer wall.

An important goal in diesel engine research is the development of a means to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX). The use of a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is one of the most effective techniques currently available for reducing nitrogen oxides. Since Particular Matter (PM) fouling reduces the efficiency of an EGR cooler, a trade-off exists between the amount of NOX and PM emissions, especially at high engine loads. In the present study, engine dynamometer experiments have been performed to investigate the heat exchange characteristics of the stack-type EGR coolers with wave fin pitches of 3.6 and 4.6 mm. The results show that the heat exchange effectiveness is decreased as surface area decrease with pitch of 4.6 mm due to PM fouling. As surface area increase at pitch of 3.6 mm, super-cooling happens in the recirculated exhaust gas.

Backgrounds: The present study in angulated coronary stenosis was to evaluate the influence of velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) on coronary atherosclerosis, the changes of hemodynamic indices following coronary stenting, as well as their effect of evolving in-stent restenosis using human in vivo hemodynamic parameters and computed simulation quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods: Initial and follow-up coronary angiographies in the patients with angulated coronary stenosis were performed (n=80). Optimal coronary stenting in angulated coronary stenosis had two models: < 50 % angle changed(model 1, n=43), > 50% angle changed group (model 2, n=37) according to percent change of vascular angle between pre- and post-intracoronary stenting. Flow-velocity wave obtained from in vivo intracoronary Doppler study data was used for in vitro numerical simulation. Spatial and temporal patterns of velocity vector and recirculation area were drawn throughout the selected segment of coronary models. WSS of pre/post-intracoronary stenting were calculated from three-dimensional computer simulation. Results: Follow-up coronary angiogram demonstrated significant difference in the percent of diameter stenosis between two groups (group 1: $40.3{\pm}30.2$ vs. group 2: $25.5{\pm}22.5%$, p<0.05). Negative WSS area on 3D simulation, which is consistent with re-circulation area of velocity vector, was noted on the inner wall of post-stenotic area before stenting. The negative WSS was disappeared after stenting. High spatial and temporal WSS before stenting fell into within physiologic WSS after stenting. This finding was prominent in Model 2 (p<0.01) Conclusions: The present study suggests that hemodynamic forces exerted by pulsatile coronary circulation termed as WSS might affect on the evolution of atherosclerosis within the angulated vascular curvature. Moreover, geometric change, such as angular difference between pre / post-intracoronary stenting might give proper information of optimal hemodynamic charateristics for vascular repair after stenting.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 모델을 이용하여 도시 재정비에 따른 신축 건물이 주변 대기 흐름에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 지리정보시스템 자료로부터 추출한 건물 자료를 전산유체역학 모델의 입력 자료로 사용하였고 4가지 풍향 (서풍, 남풍, 동풍, 북풍)에 대한 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 도시 재정비가 이루어지기 전에는 저층 건물이 밀집되었기 때문에 건물에 의한 마찰 효과가 증가하면서 건물 사이 공간의 풍속이 현저하게 감소하였다. 도시 재정비 계획에 따라 고층 건축물이 신축되고 밀집된 건물이 정비되면서 보행자 고도에서는 건물에 의한 마찰 효과가 감소하였다. 그리고 질량연속방정식을 만족시키기 위한 channeling 효과가 부분적으로 나타나면서 도시 재정비 지역의 풍속이 증가하였다. 상층에서는 고층 건물이 신축되면서 건물 사이에서 일어나는 channeling 효과에 의해 부분적으로 풍속이 증가하였다. 그러나 도시 재정비 지역의 풍하지역에서는 건물에 의해 형성되는 재순환 영역 (recirculation region)과 마찰 효과에 의해 넓은 지역에서 풍속이 현저하게 감소하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 슬리브 이음된 배관 사이의 간극과 Re가 변할 때 배관 내의 유동은 어떻게 변하는지 조사함으로써 조정관 설치 시에 압력손실과 난류 강도를 감소시킬 수 있는 배관 간극(Lp)을 파악하는 것이다. 슬리브 이음된 배관 두께(tp)는 5 mm로 고정하고 Lp는 10, 50, 100 및 200 mm로 하여 슬리브 이음부의 속도, 압력 분포, 재순환 영역에서의 재부착점 길이 및 Re와의 상관관계를 해석하였다. 상용 프로그램인 Ansys fluent 18.1을 이용하였고, Re의 범위는 200 ≤ Re ≤ 5,000으로 하여 층류에서 난류까지 슬리브 이음부의 유동 특성을 파악하였다. 슬리브 이음부의 확대비와 축소비는 각각 1.2와 0.83이였고 Lp가 일정할 때 Re가 커질수록 슬리브 하류 가장자리(edge)의 난류 강도와 압력 변화가 크게 나타났다. 이는 슬리브 벽면에서의 유동이 tp에 의해 흐트러지고 속도 에너지의 손실이 발생하면서 슬리브 이음부의 가장자리에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. Lp가 10 mm 이하의 경우, Re가 증가함에 따라 가장자리의 난류 강도에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 재순환 영역에서의 재부착점은 Lp가 10 mm 이하에서 나타나지 않았으며 와(vortex)의 영향도 없었다. 3,000 ≤ Re의 경우, Lp가 증가함에 따라 슬리브 이음부 벽면에서의 재부착점 길이는 거의 일정하였다.

In this study, the characteristics of flows around building groups are investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. For this, building groups with different volumetric ratios in a fixed area are considered. As the volumetric ratio of the building group increases, the region affected by the building group is widened. However, the wind-speed reduced area rather decreases with the volumetric ratio near the ground bottom (z ${\lesssim}$ 0.7H, here, H is the height of the building group) and, above 0.7H, it increases. As the volumetric ratio decreases (that is, space between buildings was widened), the size of recirculation region decreases but flow recovery is delayed, resulting in the wider wind-speed reduced area. The increase in the volumetric ratio results in larger drag force on the flow above the roof level, consequently reducing wind speed above the roof level. However, above z ${\gtrsim}$ 1.7H, wind speed increases with the volumetric ratio for satisfying mass conservation, resultantly increasing turbulent kinetic energy there. Inside the building groups, wind speed decreased with the volumetric ratio and averaged wind speed is parameterized in terms of the volumetric ratio and background flow speed. The parameterization method is applied to producing averaged wind speed for 80 urban areas in 7 cities in Korea, showing relatively good performance.

박동유동조건에서 관상동맥 내의 유동특성과 혈류역학적 인자 분포를 선행연구에서 수행하여 혈류역학이 관상동맥 내의 협착현상과 연관관계가 있음을 밝혔다. 동맥경화증의 호발부위인 관상동맥 분지부에서 혈류역학적 변수를 분석하여 동맥경화증의 발생기전을 규명하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 동맥경화증에 의한 협착현상은 혈액과 혈관벽 사이의 생화학 반응뿐 아니라 유동박리나 벽전단응력과 같은 혈류역학적 인자와도 관계 있음을 확인하였다. 관상동맥 분지부의 분지각이 증가할수록 분지부 단면에서의 재순환영역의 크기가 증가하고 교란유동이 발생하게 된다. 이 재순환영역이 관상동맥에서 동맥경화의 시작점으로 의심되는 영역이라 할 수 있다.
