In this paper, the hydrophobic rough surfaces were prepared by employing a conventional nano-imprint lithography technique, and the effects of surface parameter, ratio of the top surface to the flat unit cell, on the impingement behaviors of liquid droplet were investigated to improve robustness of hydrophobic functionality. The critical height defined for the transition from rebound to fragmentation is measured by droplet impingement test in order to study dynamic behavior of an impinged droplet. It showed the critical height decreased with high surface parameter while it increased with low surface parameter. However, the critical height decreased again as surface parameter decreased further. Observed results suggest that the optimized surface pattern should be designed for the increased critical height.

Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is a well-known phenomenon that may occur in piping and components. Most nuclear power plants have carbon-steel-pipe wall-thinning management programs in place to control FAC. However, various other erosion mechanisms may also occur in carbon-steel piping. The most common forms of erosion encountered (cavitation, flashing, Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion (LDIE), and Solid Particle Erosion (SPE)), have caused wall thinning, leaks, and ruptures, and have resulted in unplanned shutdowns in utilities. In particular, the damage caused by LDIE is difficult to predict, and there has been no effort to protect piping from erosive damage. This paper presents an evaluation method for LDIE. It also includes the calculation results from prediction models, a review of the experimental results, and a comparison between the UT data in the damaged components and the results of the calculations and experiments.

디젤분무가 연소실 벽에 충돌할 때의 연료부착특성을 파악하기 위하여 평판에 충돌하는 디젤 분무의 부착특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 투명 아크릴판을 이용하여 연료액막과 충돌분무를 동시에 촬영하였고, 충돌분무의 성장에 따른 연료액막의 성장도 함께 측정되었다. 부착된 연료는 연료액막 및 부착액적들로 나누어서 측정할 수 있었으며 그 결과 연료액막 주변에 무수한 연료액적이 부착함을 알 수 있었다. 시간에 따른 부착연료비를 예측하기 위하여 몇 가지 가정이 사용되었다. 그 결과 시간경과에 따른 부착연료비를 충돌거리 10mm, 30mm, 50mm에 대하여 예측할 수 있었다.

Facial masks have become indispensable in daily life to prevent infection and spread through respiratory droplets in the era of the corona pandemic. To understand how effective two different types of masks (i.e., KF-94 mask and dental mask) are in blocking respiratory droplets, i) we preferentially analyze wettability characteristics (e.g., contact angle and contact angle hysteresis) of filters consisting of each mask, and ii) subsequently observe the dynamic behaviors of microdroplets impacting at high velocities on the filter surfaces. Different wetting properties (i.e., hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity) are found to exhibit depending on the constituent materials and pore sizes of each filter. In addition, the pneumatic conditions for stably and uniformly dispensing microdroplets with a certain volume and impacting behaviors associated with the impacting velocity and filter type change are systematically explored. Three distinctive dynamics (i.e., no penetration, capture, and penetration) after droplet impacting are observed depending on the type of filter constituting the masks and droplet impact velocity. The present experimental results not only provide very useful information in designing of face masks for prevention of transmission of infectious respiratory diseases, but also are helpful for academic researches on droplet impacts on various porous surfaces.

In the present work, a series of numerical calculations have been conducted on the cooling of a hot surface using an air/water mist jet. In some cooling processes, such as in the glass-tempering process, direct contact between the cold water drops and the hot surface should be avoided, because this may cause surface cracks due to the sharp temperature gradients. Thus, the main focus of this study is finding the appropriate operating conditions for maximum cooling without direct contact between the drops and the surface. A series of numerical experiments have been performed, and, at the same time, those results were compared with those of the previous experiments for verification purposes. The effects of droplet impinging velocity, hot plate temperature, and liquid loading ratio for mono-dispersed drops of various sizes were studied in detail.

Characteristics of breakup of a liquid droplet impinging on a hot surface has been investigated experimentally by using decane fuel. Factors influencing droplet breakup are surface temperature, impinging velocity, droplet diameter and incident angle. Droplets impinging on a hot surface begins to breakup at $220{\sim}235^{\circ}C$. This temperature varies with impinging Velocity, droplet diameter and incident angle. For wall temperature of $220{\sim}245^{\circ}C$ and above $270^{\circ}C$, breakup probability increases as impinging velocity increases showing S shape curve. For $245{\sim}265^{\circ}C$, a local minimum heat transfer rate occurs. In this temperature range, breakup probability shows nonmonotonous behavior as functions of impinging velocity. As droplet diameter decreases, impinging velocity required for droplet breakup increases. An optimum impinging angle for droplet breakup exists which are found to be about $75^{\circ}$.

The maximum spreading is the maximum extent to which a drop can spread after impacting on a surface. It is one of the crucial factors determining the spraying performance in many applications. In this study, the existing maximum spreading models for a Newtonian liquid droplet impacting on a dry solid surface were reviewed and compared with the experimental results over the ranges of $4{\leq}Re{\leq}11700$, $23{\leq}We{\leq}786$, and $37.9^{\circ}{\leq}{\theta}_s{\leq}107.1^{\circ}$. The surface wettability was found to have only a minor influence on the maximum spreading, compared to the liquid viscosity and impact velocity. Among the models tested, the Roisman (2009) model showed the best agreement with the experimental results, matching 80% of the measured data within ${\pm}5%$.

A prediction of binary droplets collision is important in the formation of falling drops and the evolution of sprays. The droplet velocity, impact parameter and drop-size ratio have influence on the interaction of the droplets. By the effect of these parameter, the collision processes are generated with the complicated phenomena. The droplet collision can be classified into four interactions such as the bouncing, coalescence, reflexive separation and stretching separation. In this study, the two-phase flow of the droplet collision was simulated numerically by using the Level Set method. 2D axi-symmetric simulations on the head-on collisions in the coalescence and reflexive separation, and 3D simulation on the off-center collisions in the coalescence and stretching separation were performed. These numerical results showed good agreements with the experimental and analytical results. For tracking the identity of droplets after the collision, transport equation for the volume fraction of the each initial droplet were used. From this, the identities of droplets were analyzed on the collision of droplets having different size.

2-유체 인젝터의 분무연소에 대한 통찰 및 구조에 대한 이해와 연료-공기 혼합과 연소반응의 물리적 이해에 필요한 수치적 모델의 개발 및 검증을 위해서는 2유체 시스템에서 액체 및 기체 각각의 기본적 특성인 액적크기, 액적속도, 액적의 질량플럭스(flux), 가스상의 속도측정 등이 필요하다. 특히, 액체분무에서는 액적의 크기를 예측하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제이며, 액적의 크기에 영향을 주는 인자들로는 노즐의 형태, 분사액체의 물성치(점도, 표면장력, 밀도), 주위기체의 조건(온도, 압력, 응축과 증발현상), 분사압력 등이 있다. 그러나, 실제 분무액적의 크기는 분포를 가지므로 같은 SMD를 가지더라도 그 분포의 정도는 크게 다를 수 있어 결과적으로 분무액적의 크기를 평균값만으로 표현하는 것은 불충분할 뿐만 아니라 그 적용에도 한계를 가지게 된다. 따라서 분무액적의 평균크기와 함께 그 분포의 정도 등을 함께 나타내려는 시도가 많은 과학자들에 의하여 연구되었다.
