In this study, to investigate vibration response of piping systems due to pulsation flow, a transfer matrix method is presented. Fluid-pipe interaction is formulated using wave equation for flow velocity and pressure, which depends on position and time. From the wave equation, transfer matrix is obtained. The dynamic responses of piping systems induced by pulsation flow appeared to depend upon fluctuation fluid velocity and pressure occurrnece from pulsation, and beating phenomena were observed near the resonance. Consequently, the dynamic behaviors of piping systems appeared to the same as response characteristics of the inside flow pattern of the pipe, and are determined by the inside fluid flow.

난류혼합율에 대한 예측은 원자로의 노심 열수력 설계에 있어 매우 중요한 일이다. 봉다발 구조에서 난류혼합의 주요 원인으로 지목되고 있는 유동액동(flow pulsation) 현상에 대한 척도평가(scale analysis)틀 통해 봉다발 유동장을 흐르는 저 Prandtl 수 유채에 대판 난류혼합율 평가식을 유도하였다. 난류혼합에 기여하는 인자가 분자운동, 등방성 난류운동(유동맥동 효과률 배제한 난류운동), 그리고 유동맥동의 세 부분으로 구성되어 있다고 가정하고, 각각에 대한 길이 및 속도척도를 평가하여 난류혼합율을 유도하였다. 평가식에는 P/D, Re수 P${\gamma}$ 수 등의 인자가 고려되어 있어 다양한 기하학적, 수력학적 조건과 유체의 물리적 특성이 반영되어 있다. 유도원 난류혼합율 평가식을 실험 상관식과 비교하였으며, 비교 결과 만족스러운 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of the present study was to two-dimensionally investigate the characteristics of flow and wall shear stress under pulsatile flow in the aneurysm which is a local dilatation of the blood vessel for pulsatile flow. The numerical simulation using the commercial software were carried out for the diameter ratios(ratio of maximum diameter of aneurysm to the diameter of blood vessel) ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 and Womersley number, 15.47. It was shown that a recirculating flow at the bulge was developed and disappeared for one Period and the strength of vortex increased with the diameter ratio Especially. at time of 3.19s. the very weak recirculating flow was developed at the left upper sites of the aneurysm. The maximum values of the wall shear stress increased in Proportion to the diameter ratio. However. the Position of a maximum wall shear stress was the distal end of the aneurysm(z = 35mm) regardless of the diameter ratios.

An experimental study of thermal transport from a uniformly heated pipe to a pulsating flow has been carried out. Surface of the pipe is imposed with constant heat flux providing by electric heating band. This problem is of particular interest in the design of Stirling engine heat exchangers and in understanding the blood flow in the aorta. Temporal Variatiens of temperature and pressure inside the circular pipe are measured. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rate on the mean flow rate in the pipe and on the pulsating frequency is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature and pressure become nearly sinusoidal The amplitude of temperature variation near the pipe wall is much more substantial than that in core of the pipe. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the frequency of the pulsating pressure is increased or the mean flow rate in a pipe is increased. The results obtained are also compared with those for non-pulsating flow circumstance.

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements have been carried out to investigate the pulsatile flow characteristics in a triangular grooved channel. The results showed that a vortex was generated at the tip of the groove and flowed into the groove rotating inside during the acceleration phase of the main stream promoting the mixing of the fluid. Then, at the deceleration phase of the main stream, the vortex entrained fluid from the relatively slow moving main stream to grow bigger than the groove size. Finally the vortex was ejected to the main stream carrying the fluid away from the groove, resulting in the enhancement of mixing between the stagnant fluid in the groove and the main stream in the channel. It was found that the fluid mixing enhancement is maximized when the pulsatile period is the same as the time duration which the vortex takes to grow larger enough to fill the groove and to be ejected to the main stream.

The characteristics of the pulsating flow in a hydraulic pipe have been investigated. It is necessary to study the power control of the power transmission system in the landing gear system of aircraft and the design of robots. In this system, the power transmission pipeline is composed of a hydraulic system, and the operating flow is unsteady flow. The wave equation varying with frequency is analyzed in order to investigate the characteristics of unsteady flow in such a pipe. This wave equation involves the propagation coefficient in terns of frequency and viscosity. The theoretical result of this wave equation are compared with experimental result. Each wave equation, varying with the propagation coefficient, is analyzed theoretically. then, a sinusoidal wave generator is built in order to make better sinusoidal waves, and a rectifier is built to eliminate the noise from the hydraulic pump. The theoretical results of the wave equation in the flow of viscous fluid agree well with experimental results.

In the present study, a new computational closure model is proposed in order to contain physical models in the k- and .epsilon.- equations. The time scale of the third-order diffusive transport of turbulent kinetic energy in a curved streamline flow field is assumed as a function of a velocity time scale and a curvature time scale, the latter being derived from the analogy between buoyancy and streamline curvature effects on turbulence. The curvature time scale is represented by a combination of Brunt-Vaisala frequency of the curvature instability and the velocity time scale. Besides the modification of diffusive transport time scale, the destruction term in the dissipation rate equation is modeled to incorporate the streamline curvature effect on the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy as a function of the ratio between velocity time scale and curvature time scale. The new curvature dependent 2-equation model is found to yield very good prediction accuracy for the various turbulent recirculating flows. Particurarly, the recovery of the mean velocity profile in the redeveloping region after the reattachment is correctly simulated by the present model.

연소불안정은 로켓엔진 연소실 내에서의 연소와 유동특성들이 커플링되어 발생한다. 이와 같은 커플링을 통하여 연소로부터 맥동에너지가 공급되며, 되먹임과정 및 소산에 의한 맥동에너지양의 변화에 따라 맥동은 증폭, 유지되거나 소멸된다. 액체추진제 로켓엔진에서 고주파 연소불안정을 특징짓는 이와 같은 맥동발생 매카니즘의 해석은 용이하지 않으며 적절한 모델링을 필요로 한다. 연소불안정의 해석은 연소실 설계에서 고려되어야 할 안정성 여유를 한정하며, 설계된 사양 및 작동조건에서의 안정성 여부를 확인하는 수단으로 사용된다. 연소불안정 해석방법들은 전통적인 음향 n, $\tau$로 대표되는 frequency-domain 방법을 비롯하여, Fourier time expansion, time-domain 방법 등으로 구분되며, 연소실의 단순 및 적극설계과정에 사용된다[1].

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.
