The objectives of this study are to examine a bubble trap mechanism of the turbidimeter for low turbidity and to acquire it's technology concerned. Reynolds-Averaged Wavier-Stokes equation and Laglangian discrete phase model were applied to analyze a flow field in the bubble trap. 3D hybrid grid system was used to simulate the flow field of bubble trap and numbers of it's node point are about 110,000. From the comparison between the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model and the laminar state, it was found that the former estimated less the velocity in the outlet of bubble trap than the latter did, and that the former estimated more the shear stress at the wall of bubble trap than the latter did. And, it was possible to visualize the path of bubbles in the bubble trap and to copy the removal process of bubbles out bubble trap. Also, it was found that nearly most of bubbles in the bubble trap disappeared.

This paper reports the development of an oil flushing system combined with a microbubble generator. Oil flushing plays a crucial role in regulating the lubricant's performance during the lubricant replacement process. Moreover, harmful contaminants, such as sludge, wear particles, and rust, from piping systems or lubrication system can be removed by oil flushing. Oil flushing aims to increase the system's efficiency using a dedicated flushing oil, increasing of the supply pressure and generating a vortex. In addition, it helps the mechanical system or equipment achieve peak performance and reduces the potential for premature failure. However, the contaminant-removal applications of existing oil flushing system are limited. In this research, we aim to improve the performance of oil flushing system by incorporating a microbubble generator, which uses the venture effect to generate microbubbles and mixes them with lubricant. The microbubbles in the blended lubricant remove contaminants from the lubrication system more effectively. Structural mechanics and fluid dynamics are analyzed through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis, and the numerical analysis results are used for the designing the system. The magnitude of the maximum stress is investigated based on the pressure results obtained by the CFD analysis; through the CFD analysis, the mixing ratio of air (bubble) and lubricant is evaluated using the volume of fluid (VOF) model according to the working conditions.

In the present study, heat transfer characteristics of oil flow over offset strip fins were predicted by the numerical methods. Oil flow in the plate-fin passage was idealized by 2 dimension. Power law scheme and SIMPLE algorithm were used for convective diffusion formulation and pressure term respectively. Governing equations were discretized by control volume formulation. The flow patterns and heat transfer were predicted in details. The convective heat transfer coefficients were affected by separation bubbles which appeared at the wake region of offset strip fins.

A novel two-phase PIV algorithm using a single camera has been proposed, which introduces a method of image-separation into respective phase images, and is applied to freely rising single bubble. Gas bubble, tracer particle and background each have different gray intensity ranges on the same image frame when reflection and dispersion in the phase interface are intrinsically eliminated by optical filters and fluorescent material. Further, the signals of the two phases do not interfere with each other. Gas phase velocities are obtained from the separated bubble image by applying the two-frame PTV. On the other hand, liquid phase velocities are obtained from the tracer particle image by applying the cross-correlation algorithm. Moreover, in order to increase the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of the cross-correlation of tracer particle image, image enhancement is employed.

When a bubble reaches a free surface, a bursting of the bubble produces a high speed jet. Despite its practical importance, significant effort has been devoted to investigate a bursting jet by a single bubble near a free surface. In the present study, we perform numerical simulations of bubbles in a tandem arrangement at Bo=0.05. The configuration of the tandem bubbles is systematically varied by changing a radius of a following bubble (RF) and the gap distance between two bubbles (L). Compared to a single bubble case, we show that the bursting bubble in the tandem arrangement accelerates, and the jet velocity increases. Moreover, we find that a critical gap distance at which the jet velocity unexpectedly changes exists in the tandem case.

본 연구에서는 발전용 터빈 제 1 단 동익 흡입면에서 발달하는 경계층유동에 대하여 체계적으로 연구하였다. 이를 위해 흡입면에서 열부하가 급격하게 변화하는 대표적인 영역에 대하여, 경계층의 평균 유속, 난류강도, 에너지스펙트럼 등을 측정하였다. 그 결과 흡입면 경계층유동이 층류에서 난류 경계층으로 천이됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 이 천이경로는 박리버블의 전단층에서 주로 발생하는 박리유동 천이로 확인되었다. 흡입면에서 열부하의 최소값이 존재하는 곳은 흡입면 경계층유동의 천이가 시작되는 위치에 해당하며, 열부하가 최대인 곳은 박리유동 천이가 모두 마무리되어 벽근처에 강력한 난류유동이 존재하는 곳과 일치하였다. 에너지스펙트럼의 측정을 통하여, 흡입면 경계층의 박리유동 천이 전후에 나타나는 난류운동에너지의 주파수 특성을 자세히 파악할 수 있었다.

버블젯 타입 마이크로 엑츄에이터의 설계변수에 따른 유동특성에 관한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 수치 모델은 저장소로 부터의 잉크 유동과 기포의 성장 및 소멸, 노즐을 통한 액적의 토출과 리필 과정을 포함한다. 기포의 거동은 전체 엑츄에이터의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미치는 요소이기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 open pool 해석을 통하여 기포의 성장과 소멸 및 소멸시의 캐비테이션 현상에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한 마이크로 엑츄에이터의 노즐 형상의 변화, 챔버와 리스트릭터의 기하학적 변화에 따른 액적의 토출과 잉크 리필과정에 대한 수치예측을 수행하였다. 설계변수의 변화에 따른 수치해석의 결과는 마이크로 엑츄에이터의 성능특성을 예측할 수 있으며 또한 마이크로 엑츄에이터의 최적설계에 유용하리라 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 날개 끝 와류 공동(Blade-Tip Vortex Cavitation, BTVC)과 이에 기인한 유동 소음을 예측하기 위하여 Eulerian/Lagrangian 연성 해석기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법은 크게 연속적인 4단계로 구성되며, 각각 전산유체역학을 이용한 유동장 모사, 와류모델을 이용한 날개 끝 와류의 재구성, 기포 동역학 모델을 이용한 BTVC의 생성, 그리고 음향상사법을 이용한 음향파 예측이다. 일반적으로 전산유체역학 자체가 지니는 고유한 수치감쇠와 과도한 난류 강도로 인해 와류 강도를 심각하게 작게 예측하므로, 유동방향의 날개 끝 와류는 와류모델을 사용하여 재생하였다. 다음으로 Reyleigh-Plesset 방정식에 기반한 기포 동역학 모델을 사용하여 BTVC의 발생과 변화를 모사하였다. 마지막으로 BTVC에 의한 유동소음을 각각의 구형 버블을 그 부피 시간변화율의 변화율에 크기가 비례하는 홀극원으로 모델링하여 예측하였다. 제안한 수치 방법의 유효성을 예측값과 측정값을 비교하여 검토하였다.

This paper presents an experimental study on the unsteady flow phenomena such as leakage flow and rotating stall which have influences on the performance and stability of an axial flow fan. For this study, unsteady pressure were measured using high frequency pressure transducers mounted on the easing wall of rotor passage and analyzed by Double Phase-Locked Averaging Technique. As the flow rate was reduced to near stall point, the pressure difference between the pressure and the suction side of the blade was increased especially new the leading edge and the lowest pressure zone of suction side was gradually developed. From the result of unsteady pressure field on the casing wall, one period of rotating stall was divided into three zones and the flow characteristics on each zone were described in detail.

In this paper, the recirculation flow motion and mixing characteristics driven by air bubble flow in a rectangular water tank is studied. The Time-resolved PIV technique is adopted for the quantitative visualization and analysis. 532 nm Diode CW laser is used for illumination and orange fluorescent particle images are acquired by a PCO 10bit high-speed camera. To obtain clean particle images, 545 nm long pass optical filter and an image intensifier are employed and the flow rates of compressed air is changed from 2 l/min to 4 l/min at 0.5 MPa. The recirculation and mixing flow field is further investigated by the POD analysis technique. It is observed that the large scale counterclockwise rotation and main vortex is generated in the upper half depth from the free surface and one quarter width from the sidewall. When the flow rates are increased, the main vortex core is moved to the side and bottom wall direction.
