Comprehensive mathematical comparison of numerical dissipation vector was made for a compressible and the preconditioned version Roe's Riemann solvers. Choi and Merkle type preconditioning method was selected from the investigation of the convergence characteristics of the various preconditioning methods for the flows over a two-dimensional bump. The investigation suggests a way of migration from a compressible code to a preconditioning code with a minor changes in Eigenvalues while maintaining the same code structure. Von Neumann stability condition and viscous Jacobian were considered additionally to improve the stability and accuracy for the viscous flow analysis. The developed code was validated through the applications to the standard validation problems.

It was found that mixing patterns suddenly changed at an impeller rotation speed in a dished bottom vessel with dual Rushton turbines. Two isolated mixing regions like doughnuts rings generated at a low rotational speed and three isolated mixing regions generated at a higher speed. This phenomenon was observed at the mixing condition in transition area, where the power number with baffle was the same as that without baffle. We found a phenomenon in which the flow state in a dish-bottom agitation tank equipped with a two-stage Rushton turbine blade changes at a certain rotational speed. In the laminar flow region, the isolated stable donut rings were formed even when the rotational speed was changed, and no specific variation in the mixing pattern was observed. In the transition region, the two isolated thick unmixed donut rings do not change even if the rotation speed is changed in the flat bottom vessel, whereas in the dished bottom vessel, when the rotation speed is 450 rpm, the two isolated thick unmixed donut rings are changed to three isolated thin donut rings and then improved mixing. In the dished bottom vessel, in the range of Re=138~178, the isolated ring-shaped unmixed region appeared in three places and the size was also large. But in the flat bottom vessel, the isolated thick ring-shaped unmixed region appeared in two places in Re=116~176 and the size was also small. It appeared in two places, and the size was also small. The condition in which this phenomenon is observed is a transition region, and it was found that when the baffle plate is attached, the power number starts to increase compared to when the baffle plate is not present. In addition, when the mixing Reynolds number exceeded 300 and a slight turbulence was mixed in the flow state, the disconnection of these flow pattern was resolved and the mixture was completely mixed.

A nonlinear sloshing problem is numerically simulated. During excessive sloshing the sloshinginduced impact load can cause a critical damage on the tank structure. A three-dimensional free-surface flow in a tank is formulated in the scope of potential flow theory. The exact nonlinear free-surface condition is satisfied numerically. A finite-element method based on Hamiltons principle is employed as a numerical scheme. The problem is treated as an initial-value problem. The computations are made through an iterative method at each time step. The hydrodynamic loading on the pillar in the tank is computed.

Emulsions were prepared with the inversion emulsification method which adopted the agent-in-oil method-dissolving the mixed surfactants composed of the glycerin monostearate, polyoxyethylene(100) monostearate, and polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monostearate into mixtures of liquid paraffin and beeswax, and adding the aqueous solution of propylene glycol, gradually-and then their phases and viscosities behaviors in the emulsifying process were investigated. The fine and homogeneous o/w emulsions were formed in the HLB region (HLB 10.1~12.3), showing liquid crystalline phase and white gel phase in the emulsifying process. The phase inversion steps in the emulsifying process appeared as follows, i.e., oil continuous phase${\rightarrow}$liquid crystalline phase${\rightarrow}$white gel phase${\rightarrow}$o/w emulsion. Shear rate-shear stress curves of the prepared emulsions had the yield values which pointed out the existence of inner structure between emulsion particles, and the hysteresis loop which showed that the inner structure wasbroken irreversibly by the shear. The area of hystersis loop, an index of breakdown of inner structure, was increased with the decreasing of the HLB value of emulsifier, Shear time-shear stress curves showed the time dependence of plastic viscosity, and the relaxation time in time thinning behavior(${\lambda}$) indicated that the stability of emulsions prepared with the inversion emulsification method was decreased with the increasing of HLB values of emulsifier and was higher than that of emulsions prepared by homomixer.

Hydrogen energy, as part of eco-friendly alternative energy, is made mostly through reforming of fossil fuels. The turbulent premixed combustion type of metal-fiber flat burner which is recently used in industry was tested in this paper. We measured the mean temperature distributions, CO, HC, $CO_2$ and $O_2$ concentrations to observe the flame structure and flame stability in some kind of experimental conditions. And also PIV and several flow analysis methods were compared to establish the numerical analysis model. The results of this paper will be the basis of the burner design of steam reformer.

In this paper, the conjugated heat transfer anslysis was performed about an electric heater used in a combustion test equipment of a combustor engine to figure out a physical phenomenon that heater coil was periodically cut during heating test. The result of analysis is that the temperature of coil at coil inlet region was increased locally because the velocity of air was slow in that region. The coil of heater was moved to 25mm downstream so that the structure stability of coil was assured by the decrease of the coil temperature due to increase of an air velocity.

Recent researches on debris flow is focused on understanding its movement mechanism and building a numerical simulator to predict its behavior. However, previous simulators emulating fluid-like debris flow have limitations in numerical stability, geometric modeling and application of various boundary conditions. In this study, depth integration is applied to continuity equation and force equilibrium for debris flow. Thickness of sediment, and average velocities in x and y flow direction are chosen for main variables in the analysis, which improve numerical stability in the area with zero thickness. Petrov-Galerkin formulation uses a discontinuous test function of the weighted matrix from DG scheme. Presented mechanical constitutive model combines fluid and granular behaviors for debris flow. Effects on slope angle, inducing debris height, and bottom friction resistance are investigated for a simple slope. Numerical results also show the effect of embankment at the bottom of the slope. Developed numerical simulator can assess various risk factors for the expected area of debris flow, and facilitate embankment design in order to minimize damage.

This is a comparative study on applications of finite analytic method (FAM) and finite difference method (FDM) to rectangular smalI basin circulation. To do such a comparison, the circulation model in small rectangular basin is established using FAM and the nurmerical solution from the FAM model is compared with that from the FDM model. As the grid size approaches Von Neumann stablity condition, the convergence time to steady state increases in Askren's model, but does not increase in finite analytic model. Especially in the FAM model, the numerical solution converges stably even in the grid size range beyond the stablity condition whereas that diverges in the FDM model. In the case of large basin Reynolds number, it is found that steady state solution is obtained in the FAM model with smaller calculating steps than those of in the FDM model.

In influence of the vapor phase turbulent stress (i.e., the too-phase Reynolds stress) to the characteristics of two-phase system in a horizontal pipe has been theoretically investigated. The average two-fluid model has been constituted with closure relations for stratified flow in a horizontal pipe. A vapor phase turbulent stress model for the regular interface geometry has been included. It is found that the second order waves propagate in opposite direction with almost the same speed in the moving frame of reference of the liquid phase velocity. Using the well-posedness limit of the two-phase system, the dispersed-stratified How regime boundary has been modeled. Two-phase Froude number has been found to be a convenient parameter in quantifying the onset of slugging as a function of the global void fraction. The influence of the taper phase turbulent stress was found to stabilize the flow stratification.
