The effects of gas velocity and solid circulation rate on the axial solid holdup distribution have been determined in a 10 mm-I.D. ${\times}$ 800 mm-high circulating fluidized bed plasma reactor under reduced pressure (1torr). Polystyrene polymer powder and nitrogen gas are used as solid and gas materials respectively. The change of solid circulation rate by a large gas flow rate of the riser (40~80 sccm) is also possible by a relatively small gas flow rate of the solid recirculation part (6.6~9.9 sccm). The solid circulation rate in the reactor under reduced pressure increases with increasing aeration velocity in the solid recirculation part. The axial solid holdup in the riser decreases from the dense at the bottom to the dilute phase at the top section of the riser. Solid holdups at the axial positions in the riser increase linearly with increasing solid circulating velocity. From these results, we could determine the position of plasma load for good plasma ignition, maintain and plasma reaction.

As a basic research of developing two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation, a solid separator was developed to separate fine and coarse particles by means of particle size difference with particle size separation system equipped with metal screen. The effects of gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area on the solid separation rate were investigated as well. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity, height of solid separator, and separation area increased. As the gas velocity and height of the solid separator increased, the variation of the solid separation rate was consistent with that of bubble size. Consequently, coarse($212{\sim}300{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 4.4 to 127 g/min. We also proposed two interconnenced fluidized beds system for sorption enhanced water-gas shift process equipped with the developed solid separator.

기계식 인공심장판막을 통한 혈액의 유동과 이 유동에 관련된 판첨의 거동특성을 수치해석기법을 이용하여 연구하였다. 혈액은 맥동류, 층류, 비압축성 유동으로 가정하였으며 유체-고체의 상호작용을 고려하기 위하여 혈액의 유동방정식과 고체의 운동방정식이 동시에 계산되었다. 심실과 대동맥에서의 압력파형을 경계조건으로 사용하였다. 연구의 결과로서 혈액유동과 판첨의 거동이 예측되었으며, 판막을 통한 3개의 제트가 발견되었으며 vortex가 판첨의 끝단에서 발생하여 하부로 흘러가는 것이 관찰되었다. 판첨의 닫힘 거동은 열림 거동에 비하여 2배정도 빠르게 진행되었으며 sinus에서 2개의 큰 vortex가 관찰되었다. 유체-고체 상호작용을 고려하는 본 연구방법은 향후 판막의 연구와 개발에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Effects of operating variables on solid separation rate in two-interconnected fluidized beds system for selective solid circulation have been investigated. Coarse(212~300 or $425{\sim}600{\mu}m$) and fine($63{\sim}106{\mu}m$) particles were separated using the solid separator and the solid separation rate was ranged from 66 to 987 g/min. The solid separation rate increased as the gas velocity through the solid injection nozzle, solid height, diameter of solid injection nozzle, particle size of coarse particles, aperture of the solid separator, and weight fraction of fines in the solid mixture increased. However, the effect of the fluidization velocity was negligible.

고체로켓추진기관의 추력조절을 위해 핀틀 기술이 사용된다. 아직까지 핀틀 유동에 대해 근본적인 물리적 이해를 돕는 연구가 공개되지 않아, 이 연구에서 다양한 형상의 needle형 핀틀에 따른 유동구조에 대한 수치적 연구를 진행하였다. 2차원 축대칭, 압축성을 고려하여, 상용 열유체 해석 프로그램인 FLUENT 6.2를 사용하여 해석을 수행하였다. 난류 모델을 검증하기 위해 기 수행된 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 핀틀 각도(tip angle)가 작아질수록 노즐에서 유동 박리점이 하류로 이동하며, 핀틀에서 발생하는 끝단 충격파가 약해진다. 핀틀 반경(tip radius)이 작아질수록 핀틀에서 발생하는 끝단 충격파가 하류로 이동하며, 크기는 약해진다. 핀틀 형상(contour)은 유동 박리 지점에 직접적인 영향을 미친다.

A molecular-continuum hybrid method was developed to simulate microscale and nanoscale fluids where continuum fluidics cannot be used to predict Couette flow. Molecular dynamics simulation is used near the solid surface where the flow cannot be predicted by continuum fluidics, and Navier-Stokes equations are used in the other regions. Numerical simulation of Couette flow was performed using the hybrid method to investigate the effect of solid-liquid interaction and surface roughness in a nanochannel. It was found that the solid-liquid interaction and surface roughness influence the boundary condition. When the surface energy is low, slippage occurs near the solid surface, and the magnitude of slippage decreases with increase in surface energy. When the surface energy is high, a locking boundary condition is formed. The roughness disturbs slippage near the solid surface and promotes the locking boundary condition.

The flowfield in a solid rocket motor was simulated at the wall-injection test model, which has a fin-slot grain and submerged nozzle, and visualized by a smoke-wire. The high speed CCD camera captured the visualized images around the nozzle inlet through the grain center port. The vortical tube structure and circumferential flow patterns at the nozzle throat were visualized. The radial momentum transfer caused by the shear-interactions of slot-outlet flow, fin-base flow and grain port flow from upstream worked as the source of these phenomena.

유체-고체 상호작용을 고려하여 다양한 복부대동맥류 모델에 대해서 맥동유동 및 구조를 동시에 해석하였다. 동맥류의 확장부 크기와 혈관벽 두께에 따라서 총 여덟 개의 축대칭 동맥류 모델을 선정하였다. 유한체적법 및 압력기반의 유한차분법을 이용하여 유동을 해석하였으며, 유한요소법을 이용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 동맥류의 확장부위가 클수록 최대응력은 최대확장부위와 변곡점에 해당하는 동맥류의 입구 및 출구 부분에 집중되었으며, Von Mises 응력은 최대확장부위 뿐만 아니라 동맥류의 근위부와 원위부($\pm$1D)에서도 현저하게 증가하였다. 또한 더욱 확장된 모델일수록 혈관벽은 직경방향의 변위보다 축방향의 변위가 지배적이었으며, 동맥류 원위부보다 근위부에서 큰 축방향 변위를 나타냈다. 동맥류 입구부의 미약한 와류는 한 주기동안 그 크기와 강도를 더해가며 동맥류 원외부로 이동하였고, 동맥류의 내부 유동은 압력차이가 감소하는 기간동안 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 확장정도가 심할수록 동맥류 내부에 더 크고 강한 와류가 관찰되었다. 압력차이가 최소가 된 직후 동맥류의 근위부와 원위부동맥 벽 근처에서의 역방향 유동이 관찰되었다. 대체로 혈관벽 두께가 감소한 모델과 더욱 확장된 모델일수록 벽전달률은 감소하였다. 혈관벽의 탄성에 의하여 압력차이와 벽전달률 사이에 위상차가 존재함이 확인되었다. 유체-고체의 상호작용을 고려한 연구는 다른 심혈관계를 이해하는데도 매우 유익할 것으로 생각된다.

Hydrodynamic similarity was analyzed by employing scaling factor in three phase fluidized beds. The scaling factor was defined based on the holdups of gas, liquid and solid particles and effectivity volumetric flux of fluids between the two kinds of fluidized beds with different column diameter. The column diameter of one was 0.102 m and that of the other was 0.152 m. Filtered compressed air, tap water and glass bead of which density was 2,500 kg/$m^3$ were used as gas, liquid and solid phases, respectively. The individual phase holdups in three phase fluidized beds were determined by means of static pressure drop method. Effects of gas and liquid velocities and particle size on the scaling factors based on the holdups of each phase and effective volumetric flux of fluids were examined. The deviation of gas holdup between the two kinds of three phase fluidized beds decreased with increasing gas or liquid velocity but increased with increasing fluidized particle size. The deviation of liquid holdup between the two fluidized beds decreased with increasing gas or liquid velocity or size of fluidized solid particles. The deviation of solid holdup between the two fluidized beds increased with increasing gas velocity or particle size, however, decreased with increasing liquid velocity. The deviation of effective volumetric flux of fluids between the two fluidized beds decreased with increasing gas velocity or particle size, but increased with increasing liquid velocity. The scaling factor, which was defined in this study, could be effectively used to analyze the hydrodynamic similarity in three phase fluidized processes.
