물 속에 만들어진 공기방울들은 각자 자신의 반지름에 반비례하는 공진주파수로 음파를 방출하며, 많은 공기방울들이 모인 공기방울 집단은 집단의 전체 크기에 반비례하는 집단 공진주파수를 가진다는 현상이 그동안 연구되어 왔다. 그러나, 수십, 수백 개의 유한한 개수를 가진 공기방울들의 음파방출 주파수 특성 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수중에 일차원 배열의 공기방울들을 발생시켜 공기방울들에서 나오는 음파방출 주파수를 측정하였다. 수중에 형성된 공기방울들은 그들 간에 거리 간격이 존재하므로 본 연구에서는 공기방울들 간의 상호작용이 변화한다고 간주한 유효 결합 조화진동자 모형을 새로이 만들어 해석하였으며, 실험값과 좋은 이치를 보여주었다.

The frequency characteristics of sound radiated by a line array of bubbles in water was investigated theoretically and experimentally. In the theory we proposed an effective coupled harmonic oscillator model for a line array of bubbles treating the interaction of only adjacent bubbles as the coupling of classical harmonic oscillators. For weak coupling of bubbles that the distance between adjacent bubbles is larger than the diameter of a bubble, the pressented theoretical model shows very good agreement with the experimental results.

도수는 사류가 상류로 천이되며 흐름이 불연속적으로 변하는 현상이다. 도수는 롤러와 벽 제트와 같은 흐름이 발생하는 영역으로 구분되며 큰 에너지 손실을 발생시키므로, 보나 댐과 같은 수리시설물에서는 에너지 소산을 위한 목적으로 도수를 발생시킬 수 있다. 도수구간 중 롤러 영역에서는 공기가 유입되어 복잡한 3차원 2상 흐름을 발생시키므로 공기방울의 거동에 대한 정밀한 모의는 매우 중요한 것으로 평가된다. 그러나 현실적으로 롤러 영역에서의 작은 공기방울까지 재현하는 것은 어려운 일이다. 본 연구에서는 k-ω SST 난류모형을 이용하여 수문 아래에서 발생하는 자유도수를 수치모의하고 연행된 공기량에 대한 특성을 검토하였다. 롤러 영역에서 격자의 해상도를 다르게 하여 도수구간 내 공기의 체적비와 공기방울의 크기 및 공기방울의 거동을 분석하였다. 실내 실험자료에 난류모형을 적용하고 그 결과와 비교하여 모의 결과의 적정성을 확인하였다. 또한 도수구간에서 공기방울 거동의 정밀한 모의가 평균흐름 및 난류량의 종방향 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다.

Extracorporeal circulation support system is a device for repiratory and heart failure treatment, and there have been many trials for development and clinical application in the world. These devices need to be careful while using is air embolism. Air embolism can be a lethal complication of surgical procedures during which venous pressure at the site of surgery is sub-atmospheric or air is forced under pressure into a body cavity or using extracorporeal circulation support system. To solve the problem, we developed the air detector using relative dielectric constant change. In experiments with a mock circulation system, the proposed system showed a signal difference depending on the amount of air in the tube.

The goal of this study was to develop a venturi-type air bubble generator with a porous material throat. Using the two-phase multi-flow CFD analysis for the venturi tube, researchers determined the optimal design of major dimensions, such as the venturi throat length and diameter, in order to control the performance of the air bubble supply through the porous material throat in a venturi tube. Researchers then determined the relationship between the flow rate of supply water and the major design dimensions of the venturi-type air generator for maximizing the performance of the air bubble supply through the porous material throat in a venturi tube.

In this paper, we present a particle-grid blending framework based on a geometric approach to efficiently represent opaque ice spheres with air bubbles. The water temperature is diffused through the grid and the air bubbles represented inside the ice through the particles. To solve the problem of previous methods that generate noisy dissolved air fields, we use levelsets to lighten the algorithm, i.e., the number of active particles and the initial amount of dissolved oxygen can be used to efficiently control the termination conditions of heat diffusion. We also extend the previous dissolved air field method, which only computes near air bubbles, to transparent regions to represent realistic ice spheres, and introduce a levelset-based approach to accurately compute the orientation of particles. As a result, the method presented in this paper is about three times faster than the existing methods and shows visually improved visualization of opaque ice spheres, which can be used in the field of representing physical virtual ice forms.

Membrane bioreactor(MBR) processes have been widely applied to wastewater treatment for last decades due to its excellent capability of solid-liquid separation. However, membrane fouling was considered as a limiting factor in wide application of the MBR process. Excess aeration into membrane surface is a common way to control membrane fouling in most MBR. However, the excessively supplied air is easily dissipated in the reactor, which results in consuming energy and thus, it should be modified for effective control of membrane fouling. In this study, cylindrical tube was introduced to MBR in order to use the supplied air effectively. Membrane fibers were immersed into the cylindrical tube. This makes the supplied air non-dissipated in the reactor so that membrane fouling could be controlled economically. Two different air supplying method was employed and compared each other; nozzle and porous diffuser which were located just beneath the membrane module. Transmembrane pressure(TMP) was monitored as a function of airflow rate, flux, and ratio of the tube area and cross-sectioned area of membrane fibers(A$_m$/A$_t$). Flow rate of air and liquid was regulated to obtain slug flow in the cylindrical tube. With the same flow of air supply, nozzle was more effective for controlling membrane fouling than porous diffuser. Accumulation of sludge was observed in the tube with the nozzle, if the air was not suppled sufficiently. Reduction of membrane fouling was dependent upon the ratio, A$_m$/A$_t$. For diffuser, membrane fouling was minimized when A$_m$/A$_t$ was 0.27, but 0.55 for nozzle.

We developed a three dimensional Navier-Stokes code based on the level set method to simulate two phase flows with high density ratio. The Navier-Stokes equations with consideration of the surface tension effects are solved by using SIMPLE algorithm on a non-staggered grid. The present code is validated by simulating two test problems. First one is to simulate a rising bubble inside a cube. The thickness of the interface of the bubble is shown to affect the pressure distribution around the interface. As the thickness decreases, the pressure field around the interface becomes more oscillatory. As the bubble rises, a ring vortex is shown to form around the interface and the bubble eventually develops into an ellipsoidal shape. Merge of two bubbles inside a container is secondly tested to show the robustness of the present code for two phase flow simulation. Numerical results show stable and reliable behavior during the process of merging of two bubbles. The velocity and pressure fields around the interface of bubbles are shown oscillation free during the merging of two bubbles.

Void fraction of air bubble in the seagrass bed by photosynthesis was estimated with sound speed dispersion. A field experiment was conducted at Seagrasss bed of which bottom type is sandy mud and 120 kHz CW waveform was transmitted to obtain backscattered signals from seagrass bed. The differences of the arrival time of received signal from seagrass bed were observed between day and night. The diurnal variation of arrival time was caused by sound speed dispersion of air bubble generated by photosynthesis of seagrass.

본 연구에서는 해양의 기초 생산자인 잘피 (Zostera marina)의 후방산란 특성을 일주기 동안 관측 하였다. 해상 실험은 2004년 2월 $25\~29$일 기간 중 남해 동대만에서 실시 하였다. 그랩(Grab)을 이용하여 해초지의 입도를 분석 하였으며 주파수별 산란 특성을 고려하기 위해서 17, 30, 50, 80, 100, 그리고 120kHz 음원을 해초지에 수직 지향하여 주, 야간 잘피의 후방 산란을 측정하였다. 실험 환경 분석을 위해 파고와 조석 및 잘피의 생체량(biomass)측정을 실시 하였다. 광합성 시 해초지에서 발생되는 산소 공기는 해수에 의해 용존 되거나 산소 가스 형태로 존재하게 된다. 이들 공기 방울에 의해서 형성되는 공기 방울 층은 음 세기의 감쇠를 야기 시킨다. 실험 결과 주, 야간 동안 음의 산란 강도 변화를 확인 하였다.
