최근 수치해석 연구에 의하면 회전하는 원기둥 후류에서 비정상유동의 특이한 변화가 예측되었다. Re가 40보다 큰 흐름 속에서 원기둥이 회전하면 먼저 일반적인 칼만 와흘림이 발생하고 회전속도가 일정 속도에 이르면 와흘림이 억제되어 준정상 상태가 나타난다. 회전속도를 더 증가 시키면 상대적으로 장주기의 2차 와흘림이 나타나는데 이때 저항의 감소와 평균 양력의 증가가 수반된다. 그러나 일정 회전속도에서 예측되는 저항의 갑작스러운 변화에 대해서는 아직 상세하게 분석된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 가상경계법을 이용하여 레이놀즈수가 60과 100일 때 실린더의 회전속도비를 0<α<6까지 변화시키며 회전하는 실린더 주위의 유동해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과 Re=60일 경우 1차 천이영역은 α=1.4일 때 발생하였고 2차 와흘림은 5.2<α<5.4일 때 형성되었다. Re=100일 경우 1차 천이영역은 α=2.0일 때 발생하였고, 2차 와흘림은 4.8<α<5.0일 때 형성되었다. 그러나 갑작스런 저항의 변화는 나타나지 않음으로써 이에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Numerical solutions are presented for compressible fluid flow past a rotating elliptic cylinder in a medium at rest at infinity. Flowfields and acoustic waves emitted from rotating elliptic cylinder are directly simulated by the Lattice boltzmann method formulated by the Arbitrary lagrangian eulerian scheme. The flowfield is almost periodic after the calculation fully developed and studied by means of streamlines and equi-vorticity lines and by means of drag, lift and moment coefficients. The positive and negative vorticity is alternately occurred at the edge by those large vortexes. The acoustic waves propagate synchronizing with the rotation and increase with M3.5 of rotational speed of elliptic cylinder.

Electroanalytical study for the rotating cylinder electrode in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic salt (58– 42mol%) containing MgCl2 (0.1wt%) at 600°C is conducted. The researches of rotating cylinder electrode have been widely conducted for the century. The advantage of the electrode is that it can mitigate the unintended natural convection by providing a controlled diffusion boundary layer thickness. However, the experimental data for the high temperature molten salts is barely existed. The study adopts the electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry for the static cell and linear sweep voltammetry for the dynamic cell to calculate the diffusion coefficient. The peak current density and limiting current density are measured according to the scan rate. In order to evaluate the mass transfer under hydrodynamic flow condition, the revolution speeds of cylindrical electrode are varied from 10 rpm to 500 rpm which are corresponded to the Reynolds number of 4 and 185 respectively. The flow regime covers from the laminar to semi-turbulent regime (transient) as the critical Reynolds number Recrit is 200. The limiting current density shows a linear trend with the revolution speed and agrees well with the existing mass transfer correlations. For the extended flow regime, a new mass transfer correlation is suggested as the relation of non-dimensional numbers (Sh = aRebScc) based on the dimensionless analysis.
