Jet flow can occur by gate opening at downstream of a hydraulic structure such as weir of drainage gate. If the stream bed is not hard or the bed protection is not sufficient, vortex erosion occurs and a resulting scour hole will be formed due to the high shear stress of the jet flow. Once the scour hole is formed, a vortex occurs in ti and this vortex causes additional erosion. If this erosion continues and reaches to the hydraulic structure, it can undermine the bottom of the hydraulic structure and this will lead to failure of the structure itself. Thus, it is necessary to define the physical features of the vortex structure in the scour hole for the design of the bed protection. This study presents the turbulent vortex structure in the scour hole by the gate opening of the hydraulic structure. Characteristics of vortex motion, circulation, vortex scale and vortex were analyzed through experiments. Experimental results of the vortex velocity were compared with theoretical ones. From these, circulation and vortex scale were obtained with known values of inflow depth, inflow velocity and scale of scour hole

The present study focuses on the case of developing flow with in a channel containing a long array of sinusoidal waves (2a/${\lambda}$=0.1, ${\lambda}$=h, ${\lambda}$ is the wavelength, 2a is the wave height, h is the mean channel depth) at the bottom wall. The Reynolds number defined with channel height, h and the mean velocity, U, is Re=6,700. The channel is sufficiently long such that transition is completed and the flow is fully developed over the downstream half of the channel. For the case of an incoming steady flow with no resolved turbulence, the instantaneous flow fields in the transition region are characterized by the formation of arrays of highly-organized large-scale hairpin vortices whose dimensions scale with that of the roughness elements. The paper explains the mechanism for the formation of these arrays of hairpin vortices and shows these eddies play the primary role in the formation of the large-scale streaks of high and low velocity over the wavy wall region. The presence of resolved turbulence in the incoming flow, reduces the streamwise distance needed for the streaks to develop over the wavy region, but does not affect qualitatively the transition process. In the fully-developed region, isolated and trains of large-scale hairpins play an important role in the dynamics of the streaks over the wavy wall.

Severe accidents in nuclear power plants can cause hydrogen-generating chemical reactions, which create the danger of hydrogen combustion and thus threaten containment integrity. For containment analyses, a three-dimensional mechanistic code, GOTHIC-3D has been applied near source compartments to predict whether or not highly reactive gas mixtures can form during an accident with the hydrogen mitigation system working. To assess the code applicability to hydrogen combustion analysis, this paper presents the numerical calculation results of GOTHIC-3D for various hydrogen combustion experiments, including FLAME, LSVCTF, and SNU-2D. In this study, a technical base for the modeling oflarge- and small-scale facilities was introduced through sensitivity studies on cell size and bum modeling parameters. Use of a turbulent bum option of the eddy dissipation concept enabled scale-free applications. Lowering the bum parameter values for the flame thickness and the bum temperature limit resulted in a larger flame velocity. When applied to hydrogen combustion analysis, this study revealed that the GOTHIC-3D code is generally able to predict the combustion phenomena with its default bum modeling parameters for large-scale facilities. However, the code needs further modifications of its bum modeling parameters to be applied to either small-scale facilities or extremely fast transients.

We investigate a cool loop and a dark lane over a limb active region on 2007 March 14 by the Hinode/EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). The cool loop is clearly seen in the EIS spectral lines formed at the transition region temperature (log T = 5.8). The dark lane is characterized by an elongated faint structure in coronal spectral lines (log T = 5.8 - 6.1) and rooted on a bright point. We examine their electron densities, Doppler velocities, and non-thermal velocities as a function of distance from the limb using the spectral lines formed at different temperatures (log T = 5.4 - 6.4). The electron densities of the cool loop and the dark lane are derived from the density sensitive line pairs of Mg VII, Fe XII, and Fe XIV spectra. Under the hydrostatic equilibrium and isothermal assumption, we determine their temperatures from the density scale height. Comparing the scale height temperatures to the peak formation temperatures of the spectral lines, we note that the scale height temperature of the cool loop is consistent with a peak formation temperature of the Mg VII (log T = 5.8) and the scale height temperature of the dark lane is close to a peak formation temperature of the Fe XII and Fe XIII (log T = 6.1 - 6.2). It is interesting to note that the structures of the cool loop and the dark lane are most visible in these temperature lines. While the non-thermal velocity in the cool loop slightly decreases (less than 7 km $s^{-1}$) along the loop, that in the dark lane sharply falls off with height. The variation of non-thermal velocity with height in the cool loop and the dark lane is contrast to that in off-limb polar coronal holes which are considered as source of the fast solar wind. Such a decrease in the non-thermal velocity may be explained by wave damping near the solar surface or turbulence due to magnetic reconnection near the bright point.

하천 내 흐름에 대한 식생 밀도의 영향을 조사하기 위해 버드나무가 활착된 하천 규모의 자연형 수로에서 유동 측정 실험을 수행하였다. 식생 내 흐름에 대한 하천 규모 실험은 식생의 반 잠김 조건에 대해 수행되었다. 수로 내 식생대(vegetation patch)는 교차로 형성된 사주의 형상으로 배열되었고 식생 구간과 비식생 구간에서의 흐름을 비교하였다. 3차원 유동 구조는 초음파 유속계(Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter)에 의해 측정되었고 종방향 속도의 연직 분포는 다양한 지점에서의 측정값으로부터 분석되었다. 유속은 식생대의 밀도에 따라 다른 양상을 보여 주는데, 식생 구간와 비식생 구간에서의 흐름 속도의 차이는 밀집된 식생대 주변에서 크게 나타나며 흐름 분포의 형태는 식생대의 하류방향 하단에서 복잡한 모습을 나타낸다. 하류에 위치한 식생대 주변의 흐름은 상류에 설치된 식생대에 의해 교란된 흐름에도 불구하고 유사한 분포를 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 원통형 대책구조물의 토석류 에너지 저감효과를 확인하기 위해, 대책구조물이 설치된 실제 규모의 계곡부를 수치적으로 모사한 후에 대책구조물의 배치조건을 변화시켜가면서 토석류 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석단면은 강원도 진부면 실규모 실험장에서 측량된 지상 LiDAR 데이터를 토대로 계곡부를 모델링하였고, 해석은 ABAQUS (Ver. 2021)의 Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) 기법을 이용하여 토석류-구조물의 상호 흐름거동을 모사하였다. 해석결과, 대책구조물이 설치되지 않는 조건에서의 흐름속도는 기존 실규모 토석류 실험결과와 유사한 흐름속도 변화를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 원통형 대책구조물을 설치하면 토석류의 속도를 크게 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 대책구조물을 높이면 토석류의 흐름저항이 증가함에 따라 하류부의 에너지 저감효과를 더욱 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다.

Flow characteristics of blood flow in a micro channel were investigated experimentally using a micro-PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) velocity field measurement technique. The main objective of this study was to understand the real blood flow in micron-sized blood vessels. The Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of micro-channel for deionized (DI) water was about Re=0.34. For each experimental condition, 100 instantaneous velocity fields were captured and ensemble-averaged to get the spatial distributions of mean velocity. In addition, the motion of RBC (Red Blood Cell) was visualized with a high-speed CCD camera. The captured flow images of nano-scale fluorescent tracer particles in DI water were clear and gave good velocity tracking-ability. However, there were substantial velocity variations in the central region of real blood flow in a micro-channel due to the presence of red blood cells.

Simultaneous measurements of turbulent velocity and concentration field in a stirred mixer tank are carried out by using PIV/LIF technique. Instantaneous velocity fields are measured with a 1K$\times$1K CCD camera adopting the frame straddle method while the concentration fields are obtained by measuring the fluorescence intensity of Rhodamine B tracer excited by the second pulse of Nd:Yag laser light. Image distortion due to the camera view-angle is compensated by a mapping function. It is found that the general features of the mixing pattern are quite dependent on the local flow characteristics during the rapid decay of mean concentration. However, the small scale mixing seems to be independent on the local turbulent velocity fluctuation.

The motion of small heavy particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence in the present of gravity is investigated using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) at moderate Reynolds number. The Lagrangian velocity and acceleration statistics of particles and of flow for a wide range of Stokes number, defined as the ratio of the particle response time to Kolmogorov time scale of turbulence, were obtained for the direction of the gravity and normal direction, respectively. It is found that particles lose their correction faster than the case without gravity. Then, a significant increase in the average settling velocity was observed for a certain range of Stokes number. Our focus is placed on gravitational effect on very small particles. Our simulations show that as the Stokes number reduces to zero, their mean settling velocity approaches the terminal velocity in still fluid.
