The effect of longitudinal thin rectangular riblets aligned with the flow direction on turbulent channel flow has been investigated using direct numerical simulation. The thin riblets have been modeled using the immersed boundary method (IBM) where the velocities at only one set of vertical nodes at the riblets positions are enforced to be zeros. Different spacings, ranging between 11 and 43 wall units, have been simulated aiming at getting the optimum spacing corresponding to the maximum drag reduction while keeping the height/spacing ratio at 0.5. Reynolds number based on the friction velocity ${\mu}_\tau$ and the channel half depth $\delta$ is set to 150. The flow is driven by adjusted pressure gradient so that the mass flow rate is kept constant in all the simulations. This study shows similar trend of the drag ratio to that of the experiments at the different spacings. Also, this research provides an optimum spacing of around 17 wall units leading to maximum drag reduction as experimental data. Explanation of drag increasing/decreasing mechanism is highlighted.

An experimental study is conducted for the turbulent recirculating flow behind a backward-facing step when the oscillating jet is issued sinusoidally through a thin slit at the separation edge. Two key parameters are dealt with in the present experiment, i.e., the amplitude of forcing and the forcing frequency. The Reynolds number based on the step height is varied from 25,000 to 35,000. In order to investigate the effect of local forcing, turbulent structures are scrutinized for both the flow of forcing and the flow of no forcing. The growth of shear layer with a local forcing is larger than that of no forcing. The influence of a local forcing brings forth the decrease of reattachment length and the particular frequency gives a minimum reattachment length. The most effective frequency depends on the non-dimensional frequency, St/sub .theta./, based on the momentum thickness at the separation point. A comparative study leads to the conclusion that the large-scale vortical structure is strongly associated with the forcing frequency and the natural flow instability.

The offects of a small control rod (d=3mm) located near a main circular cylinder on the drag reduction and wake structure modification were investigated. The location of the small control rod mounted on a rod-like spring is self-adjusting according to the wake structure far optimal control of the flow around the main cylinder. The experiments were carried out at the Reynolds numbers based on the cylinder diameter (D=50mm) in the range $Re_{D}=1{\times}10^4{\~}6{\times}10^4$. Mean velocity and turbulent statistics were measured with varying the angle along the cylinder circumference ${\Theta}=15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}$ and the distance between the main and control rods L =0.7, 1. Compared with the bare cylinder, the main circular cylinder with the fixed and self-adjusting rods reduced drag coefficient by $10{\%}$ at the angle of ${\Theta}=45^{\circ}$. For the main cylinder with self-adjusting rot as the Reynolds numbers increase, the streamwise mean velocity is increased, however, the turbulence intensity is decreased. In addition, the control rods tested in this study are effective at higher Reynolds number than at lower Reynolds number.

Study of turbulent mixing layers has been a popular subject from the point of view of both practical application and phenomenological importance in engineering field. Turbulent mixing layers can be applied in many fields where rapid transition to turbulence is desirable in order to prevent boundary layer separation or to enhance mixing. The ability to control mixing, structure and growth of the shear flow would obviously have a considerable impact on many engineering applications. In addition to practical applications, free shear flows are one of the simplest flows to understand the fundamental mechanism in the transition process to turbulence. After the discovery of large-scale vortical structure in free shear flows many researchers have investigated the physical mechanism of generation and dissipation processes of the vortical structure. This study investigated the role of the large-scale vortical structures in the turbulent mixing layer using LES(Large-Eddy Simulation). The result shows that the pairing interaction of the vortical structure plays an important role in the growth rate of a mixing layer. It is found that the turbulence quantities depend strongly on the velocity ratio. It is also found that the vorticity in the high-velocity-side can extract energy from the mean flow, while the vorticity in the low-velocity-side lose energy by the viscous dissipation. Finally the results suggest the guideline to obtain the desired flow by control of the velocity ratio.

이차원 타원형 날개꼴에서 펄스제트 브로잉에 의한 박리 제어 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 박리 유동의 능동제어기술 개발을 위하여 압축공기를 사용하는 연속제트/간헐제트 엑츄에이터를 설계제작하여 타원형 날개 풍동 실험 모델에 장착하였다. 아음속 유동에서 날개 주위 유동장의 PIV 측정과 유동의 가시화을 통하여 간헐제트 브로잉의 타원형 날개의 실속제어 효과와 실용성에 대해 실험연구를 수행하였다. PIV 실험 결과 제트 브로잉에 의해 난류 후류 영역과 박리 버블의 크기를 현저하게 감소시킴으로써 박리제어가 가능함을 보였다. 간헐제트는 연속제트보다 박리제어에 보다 효과적이었다. 간헐제트의 주파수를 증가시키면 보다 높은 받음각에 이르기까지 난류 박리 후류를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있었다.

The turbulent fluctuations of temperature and two components of velocity have been measured with hot- and cold-wires in the Thermally Stratified Wind Tunnel(TSWT). Using the fin-tube heat exchanger type heaters and the neural network control algorithm, both stable ($dT/dz=109.4^{\circ}C$) and unstable ($dT/dz=-49.1^{\circ}C$) stratifications were realized. An ambient air jet was issued normally into the cross flow($U_{\infty}=1.0 m/s$) from a round nozzle(d = 6 mm) flushed at the bottom waII of the wind tunnel with the velocity ratio of $5.8(U_{jet}/U_{\infty})$. The characteristics of turbulent dispersion in the cross flow jet are found to change drastically depending on the thermal stratification. Especially, in the unstable condition, the vertical velocity fluctuation increases very rapidly at downstream of jet. The fluctuation velocity spectra and velocity-temperature cospectra along the jet centerline were obtained and compared. In the case of stable stratification, the heat flux cospectra changes Its sign from a certain point at the far field because of the restratification phenomenon. It is inferred that the main reason in the difference between the vertical heat fluxes is caused by the different length scales of the large eddy motions. The turbulent kinetic energy and scalar dissipation rates were estimated using partially non-isotropic and isotropic turbulent approximation. In the unstable case, the turbulent energy dissipation decreases more rapidly with the downstream distance than in the stable case.

The flow and noise characteristics of wake behind wind-turbine blades have been investigated experimentally using a two-frame particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. Experiments were carried out in a POSTECH subsonic large wind-tunnel ($1.8^W{\times}1.5^H{\times}4.3^L\;m^3$) with KBP-750D (3-blade type) wind-turbine model at a freestream velocity of $U_o\;=\;15\;m/s$ and a tip speed ratio $\lambda\;=\;6.14$ (2933 rpm). The wind-turbine blades are connected to an AC servo motor, brake, encoder and torque meter to control the rotational speed and to extract a synchronization signal for PIV measurements. The wake flow was measured at four azimuth angles ($\phi\;=\;0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$) of the wind-turbine blade. The dominant flow structure of the wake is large-scale tip vortices. The turbulent statistics such as turbulent intensity are weakened as the flow goes downstream due to turbulent dissipation. The dominant peak frequency of the noise signal is identical to the rotation frequency of blades. The noise seems to be mainly induced by the tip vortices.

Numerical analysis of the three dimensional turbulent flow field in a complex valve shape is carried out to confirm the flow field whether the designed valve shape is good or not. The simulation of the incompressible flow in a constant flowrate control valve is performed by using the commercial code, FLUENT/UNS 6.0. The results of flow field show the designed valve has some problems, therefore these will be good data for new valve design.

The flow characteristics in a hot mill reheating furnace is numerically simulated in this study. Navier-Stokes equations for conservation of mass, momentum, energy are solved and the standard $k-\varepsilon$ model, mixture fraction/PDF model are used for the turbulent reacting flow in the furnace. Radiation heat transfer is incorporated by the P-1 method with the absorption coefficient evaluated using WSGGM. First, simulation results are obtained for the total furnace region with existing protective dam, and then the calculations are carried out only for the preheating zone in the furnace. In that zone, additional center darn is built in order to control the flow behavior of the inlet air and the combustion gas.

난류경계층이 유지되기 위한 에너지 공급은 경계층 내 구조물인 와류들의 상호작용으로 끊임없이 이루어진다. 이러한 난류 유동은 수송분야의 마찰저항 및 해양구조물의 침식 및 진동을 유발하기 때문에 유동 제어를 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 제어의 극대화를 위해서는 난류 에너지 전달이 어떻게 이루어지는지에 대한 메카니즘 규명이 필수적이고, 이를 위해서는 층류경계층 내 유동현상으로 파악하는 것이 명확하고 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 층류경계층 내 평판에 반구를 설치하여 역압력구배을 발생시킴으로써 교란된 유동현상의 상호작용을 분석하였다. 즉, 반구를 둘러싼 목걸이 와류와 반구 표면의 유동 박리에 의한 후류영역에서 머리핀 와류가 생성되어 상호 유기적으로 영향을 주고받는다. 이 과정에서 목걸이 와류는 후류영역으로 높은 운동량의 유체를 유입시켜 머리핀 와류의 발생 주파수를 증가시킨다. 반구 전방에 구멍을 뚫어 국부적인 흡입제어로 목걸이 와류의 와도를 감소시킴으로써 그 영향이 완화되는 과정을 유동 가시화 및 열선유속계로 측정하여 정성 및 정량적으로 분석하였다.
