Abstract The flow of liquid and vapor is investigated in trapezoidal grooves. The effect of variable shear stress along the interface of the liquid and vapor is studied for both co-current and counter-current flows. Velocity contours and results for the friction are obtained for both trapezoidal grooves. An approximate relation that was previously utilized for the friction for the liquid was modified to obtain accurate agreement with the results for trapezoidal grooves.

Two-dimensional Stokes flows through a micro channel with a couple of symmetric vertical fins are investigated. At far up- and down-stream from the fins, the plane Poiseuille flow exists in the channel. The slip boundary conditions are applied to take account of the Knudsen number effects. For the analysis, the method of eigen function expansion and collocation method are employed. By the results, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions are shown and the force exerted on the fin and the excess pressure drop due to the fins are determined as functions of the length of the fin and Knudsen number. It may be conjectured that the force and the excess pressure drop are almost independent of the Knudsen number.

This paper introduces a pressure correction method for microflow computation. Conventional CFD methods with no slip boundary condition fail to predict the rarefaction effect of the wall when simulating gas microflows in the slip-flow regime. Pressure correction method with an appropriate slip boundary condition is an efficient tool in analyzing microscale flows. The present unstructured SIMPLE algorithm adopts both the classical Maxwell boundary condition and Langmuir boundary condition proposed by Myong. The simulation results of microchannel flows show that the proposed method has an effective predictive capability for microscale flows.

In the present experimental study, the regime limit and pressure drop of dry-plug flow (dry wall condition at the gas portions of plug flow) in round mini-channels has been investigated. The air-water mixture was flowed through the round mini-channels made of Teflon, where the tube diameters ranged from 1.26 to 2.06 mm. For the present experimental range, with decreasing of the tube diameter, the transition between the plug and slug flows (wet and dry) happened at the higher gas superficial velocity region, which were in good agreement with the previous flow pattern maps tested. On the other hand, the transition between the wet- and dry-plug flows was little affected by the change of the tube diameter. In the pressure drop of dry-plug flows, among the correlations tested, the Lee and Lee's (2008) correlation best fitted the measured pressure drop data within the mean deviation of 10% for the present experimental range.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the flow characteristics of water through rectangular PDMS microchannels with a hydraulic diameter ranging from 66.67 to 200 ${\mu}m$. In the experiments, the flow rate and pressure drop across the microchannels were measured at steady states. The experimental results were compared with the predictions from the conventional laminar flow theory. A significant difference between the experimental data and the theoretical predictions was found. Experimental results indicate that the pressure gradient and flow friction in microchannels are higher than those from the conventional laminar flow theory. This may be attributed to the fact that there exists effect of surface roughness of the microchannels. In this study, a surface roughness model is implemented to interpret the experimental data. A good agreement between the experimental data and the numerical predictions with a surface roughness model were found.

최근 미소기전시스템(MEMS)를 개발함에 있어 마이크로 크기의 유동가시화는 중요한 문제이다. 특히 유체와 고체표면의 상호작용에 있어 표면의 친수성과 소수성의 성질은 미소유체를 조절 가능케 하는 핵심적인 역할이다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 채널 내 표면을 개질하여 친수성 및 소수성의 벽면 경계조건 습윤도를 측정하였고, 또한 micro-PIV를 이용하여 벽면 근처에서의 속도 분포를 분석하였다.

In this paper, the thermal lattice Boltzmann method(TLBM) proposed by Guo et al.(2002) is applied to analyze the forced convective flow and heat transfer of 2-D micro channel. Nonequilibrium extrapolation boundary condition is adopted to simulate the velocity and temperature behavior at wall boundaries. Numerical results obtained by the present study give a good prediction of the micro fluidic characteristics with thermal effects.

절리면의 수리특성에 영향을 미치는 요소는 절리면의 거칠기, 절리면의 틈새, 충진물 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 절리면의 거칠기에 따른 수리특성을 분석하고자 Barton and Choubey(1977)가 제안한 표준 프로파일을 이용하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 인공 프로파일을 생성시켰다. 표준 프로파일과 인공 프로파일을 조합하여 유동채널 모델을 제작하였으며, 최소 간극의 변화와 유동채널의 형상에 따른 수리특성을 수치해석적으로 분석하였다. 두 프로파일이 이루는 최소 간극지점을 통과한 이후 유동면적이 증가하는 지점에서 최대 유동률을 나타냈으며, 최소 간극이 증가할수록 최대 유동률은 감소하였다. 또한 유동채널의 형상과 유동채널내의 최소 간극 지점의 위치가 모델마다 상이하기 때문에 단위면적당 최대 유동률은 모델마다 다른 값을 나타내고 있었다. 유동채널 내의 역학적 간극과 수리적 간극은 1.07 ~ 3.00 배 정도의 차이를 나타내고 있으며, 본 수리해석에서 분석된 $A_i$ 값과 역학적 간극은 $e_m=0.519A^{0.7169_i}$의 관계를 나타내고, 수리적 간극은 $e_h=0.6182A^{0.239}_i$의 관계를 나타는 것으로 분석되었다.

A finite volume numerical model is developed for simulating non-equilibrium electroosmotic flow in micro- and nanochannels. The Guoy-Chapman model is adopted to compute the flow and electric potential. The Nernst-Planck equation is employed to trace unsteady transports of ionic species, i.e., time-dependent net charge density. A new set of boundary conditions based on surface charge density are designed rather than using the conventionally-employed zeta potential. A few issues for an efficient computation of electroosmotic flows are discussed. Representative computational examples are given to illustrate the robustness of the numerical model.

Because the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress affects seriously the liquid flow and the maximum heat transport rate of the grooved wick heat pipe, an accurate modeling for the pressure drop characteristics of the liquid flow is required. A novel method for calculating the liquid pressure drop and the velocity profile of an open channel flow in a microchannel with an arbitrary cross-section is suggested and validated by experiments. An experimental apparatus for the Poiseuille number of the liquid flow in open rectangular microchannels with the hydraulic diameters of 0.40mm, 0.43mm, 0.48mm is used in order to reproduce real situations in the grooved wick heat pipe. Analytic results from the suggested method are compared with the experimental data and they are in a close agreement with each other.
