Ejector-diffuser system makes use of high-pressure primary stream to entrain the low-pressure secondary stream through pure shear action between two streams. In general, the flow field in the ejector-diffuser system is highly complicated due to turbulent mixing, compressibility effects. A fatal drawback of the ejector system is in its low efficiency. Many works have been done to improve the performance of the ejector system, but not yet satisfactory. In the present study, a mixing guide vane was installed at the inlet of the secondary stream for the purpose of the performance improvement of the ejector system. A CFD method has been applied to simulate the supersonic flows inside the ejector-diffuser system. The present results obtained were validated with existing experimental data. The mixing guide vane effects are discussed in terms of the entrainment ratio, total pressure loss as well as pressure recovery.

The swirl flow applied for high efficiency and reduction of emission such as NOx, CO in a gas turbine engine makes recirculation zone by shear layer in the combustion chamber. This recirculation zone influences a decreasing flame temperature and flame length by burned gas recirculation. Also it is able to suppress from instability in lean-premixed flame. In this study, it was found that the swirl flow field was characterized as function of swirl number using PIV measurement in dump combustor. As increasing swirl number, a change of flow field was presented and recirculation zone was shifted in the nozzle exit direction. Also turbulent intensity and turbulent length scale in combustor were decreased in combustion. It has shown reduction of eddies scale with swirl number increasing.

For a design of rocket engine nozzle, chemical equilibrium analysis which shares the same numerical characteristics with frozen flow analysis can be used as an efficient design tool for predicting maximum thermodynamic performance of the nozzle. 10 this study, a chemical equilibrium flow analysis code was developed for the design of hydrocarbon fueled rocket engines. 10 oder to understand the thermochemical characteristics occurring in a nozzle through the expansion process, such as recombination of chemical components and the accompanying energy recovery, chemical equilibrium flow analysis was carried out for the KSR-III rocket engine nozzles together with frozen flow and non-equilibrium flow analyses. The performance evaluation based on the present KSR-III nozzle flow analyses has provided an understanding of the thermochemical process in the nozzle and additionally, it has confirmed that the newly designed nozzle shape modified to have a reduced exit area ratio is an adequate design for obtaining an increased ground thrust.

Viscous flow around actual ship is calculated by an use of RANS equations. The propriety of this computing method, usefulness to hull form design and the scale effect which is the effect of viscous flow depending on the scale of ship model are investigated. Reynolds stress is modelled by using k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and the law of wall is applied near the body. Body fitted coordinates are introduced for the treatment of the arbitrary 3-dimensional shape of the ship hull form. The transformed equations in the computational domain are numerically solved by an employment of FVM. In the calculation of pressure, SIMPLE method is adopted and the solution of the discretized equation is obtained by the line-by-line method with the use of TDMA The calculations of two ships, 4410 TEU container carrier and 50,000 DWT class bulk carrier, are performed at model and actual ship scale. The results are compared and discussed with the model test results which are viscous resistance, nominal wake distribution at propeller plane and limiting streamline on the hull surface. They describe the effect of stem form and the scale effect very well. In particular, the calculated nominal wake distribution and limiting streamline are agreed qualitatively with the experiments and the viscous resistance values are estimated within ${\pm}5%$ difference from the resistance tests.

Pile-supported embankment is one of the reinforcing methods to minimize damage due to the severe subsidence and lateral flow when soft clay ground is supported with embankment. pile-supported embankment mainly penetrates soft ground into the bearing stratum in order to support surcharge load which minimizes the subsidence and lateral flow due to the surcharge load. The aim of this research is to review quantitatively reinforcing effect of pile-supported embankment which is installed in soft clay ground. From the model test, it reproduced the ground movement with regard to the non-reinforced and reinforcing embankment-pile and also analyzed stabilizing effects of lateral flow due to the pile-supported embankment. With regard to the case of installing pile-supported embankment, its were analyzed stabilizing effects of lateral flow in cases of quick-load and slow-load to make different surcharge load.

Thermal Marangoni flow has been observed inside droplets on heated surfaces, finally resulting in a coffee stain effect. This study aims to visualize and control the thermal Marangoni flow by employing periodic vertical vibration. The variations in the contact angle and internal volume of the droplet as it evaporates is observed by using a combination of continuous light and a still camera. With regard to the internal velocity, the particle image velocimetry system is applied to visualize the internal thermal Marangoni flow. In order to estimate the internal temperature gradient and surface tension on the surface of a droplet, the theoretical model based on the conduction and convection theory of heat transfer is applied. Thus, the internal velocity increases with an increase in plate temperature. The flow directions of the Marangoni and gravitational flows are opposite, and hence, it may be possible to control the coffee stain effect.

최근 약 10년 동안 마이크로 유체 시스템은 다양한 세포연구에 광범위하게 활용되며 생물학과 의학 분야에 새로운 전기를 가져왔다. 마이크로 유체 시스템 내의 유동현상을 설계하고 연구에 적용하는 일은 기계공학도가 중추적인 역할을 해야 하는 분야이다. 유동장 내에서 관찰되는 세포의 반응은 매우 흥미로울 뿐 아니라 학술적으로 막대한 파급력있는 결과를 가져오기도 한다. 이 글을 통해 전통적인 접근법으로는 성취하기 힘들었던 세포연구들이 마이크로 유체 시스템을 이용하여 어떻게 효과적으로 수행되는지 소개하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 30000rpm으로 회전하는 진공청소기 원심팬의 유동장을 임펠러, 디퓨저, 케이싱을 모두 고려하여 해석하였다. 또한 삼차원으로 배출되는 출구를 간단한 sink 패널로 모델하여 출구의 효과를 충분히 고려하였다. 해석된 유동장 자료를 이용하여 먼 거리에서의 음압을 예측하였다. 예측된 음압자료는 FFT를 이용하여 측정된 값과 주파수 영역에서 비교하였다. 또한 진공청소기 원심팬의 측정자료에서 보이는 광역소음특성이 임펠러에서 흘려지는 후류와류의 교란에 의한 임펠러와 디퓨저 깃의 비정상 힘이 주된 원인임을 밝혔다.

본 논문에서는 선도-추종자 로봇의 대형을 유동적으로 변형하며 장애물을 효과적으로 회피하는 방법을 제안한다. 로봇이 장애물을 회피함에 있어서 고정된 대형으로 이동하는데 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기위해 장애물 회피시 선도로봇의 방향각과 위치, 선도로봇과 추종자 로봇의 거리를 이용하여 대형을 유동적으로 변형하여 장애물과의 충돌을 회피하는 방법을 사용하고 로봇의 경로계획을 위하여 포텐셜 필드 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 본 논문에서는 Matlab을 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인하였다.

공압출되는 sheet die에서 고분자 물질의 비등온 유동유동을 수치모사하였다. 유변학 적 식으로 power-law model을 사용하였고, 격자생성법을 이용한 유한차분법을 사용하였다. 수치계산을 통해 수축채널에서의 온도 분포를 구해보고 점도가 채널에서의 온도 분포를 구 해 보고 점도가 채널에서의 압력강하 및 신장속도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 압력강하는 외부 유체의 점도 및 heat dissipation의 영향을 크게 받았다. 신장속도는 외부 유체의 점도 가 증가함에 따라 커진 반면 내부 유체의 점도가 증가함에 따라 커진반면, 내부 유체의 점 도증가에 따라 감소하였고, heat dissipation에 의해 증가하였다.
