In the present study, a numerical analysis on electrohydrodynamics (EHD) of the flow and the collection mechanisms inside a electrostatic precipitator with a spiral spike electrode were investigated. The phenomena of the electrostatic precipitator include complex interactions between the electric field, the fluid flow and the particle motion. To validate the numerical method, the numerical computation for the electric field of a simple wire-pipe type electrostatic system having an analytic solution were performed. Using this numerical method, the electric field of the spiked electrostatic precipitator was simulated. And the fluid flow and the particle motion inside the spiked electrostatic precipitator were numerically analyzed.

본 논문은 마이크로 유체 소자의 소재로서 많이 쓰이고 있는 poly(dimethyl-siloxane) (PDMS)의 친수성 유지를 위한 표면 개질에 대한 연구이다. PDMS는 유연성, 투명성 등의 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으나, 높은 소수성으로 인하여 유체 소자로의 응용에 제한을 갖는다. 기존 연구에서 수행한 산소 플라즈마 후 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) 처리에 의한 PDMS의 표면 개질은 친수성 유지 시간에 한계가 있었다. 이에 친수성 유지 시간을 증가시키기 위하여 경화된 PDMS에 두 시간의 오존 처리 후, 6시간 동안 monomethyl ether hydroquinone (MEHQ)가 제거된 HEMA로 표면을 개질한다. 표면 처리된 PDMS의 친수성 특성을 확인하기 위해 접촉각을 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 오존을 이용하였을 때 $60^{\circ}$ 이하의 낮은 접촉각이 900시간 이상 유지됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, study of high speed train pantograph arm shape and panhead cross-section for aerodynamic drag and noise reduction is performed. In previous research, it is known that knee of pantograph arm and panhead of pantogpraph are main sources of noise from high speed train pantograph. By numerical simulation using full scale pantograph model, pantograph arm and panhead optimization are performed. As a result, drag and noise are reduced at both studies about high speed pantograph.

The present paper focuses on the analysis of aero-acoustics characteristic by several boundary conditions. In this simulation, a high-order and high-resolution numerical schemes are used for the accurate computation of compressible flow with several boundary conditions including characteristic boundary conditions as well as extrapolation and zonal characteristic boundary condition. These boundary conditions are applied to the computation of two dimensional circular cylinder flows with Mach number of 0.3 and Reynolds number of 400. The computation results are validated with measurement datum and other computation results for the Strouhal frequency of vortex shedding, the mean drag coefficient and root-mean-square lift for the unsteady periodic flow regime. Secondary frequency is predicted by three kinds of boundary conditions characteristic.

New design configurations were developed based on the closed ventilation type igloo nozzle in contrast to the conventional open distribution type. To validate the enhanced performance, the prediction of the exhaust flow patterns of the igloo diffuser was carried out by both experimental and computational simulations. CFD provided detailed parametric studies that significantly reduced the amount of experimentation necessary to alter the design of existing the F-15K igloo exhaust diffuser.

At the end of 1999. the TeraCluster project has started in the KORDIC Supercomputer center to study PC clusters for parallel computing. The aim is to replace the Cray T3E with a new cluster system in 2002. The PC cluster without a fast network is well suited for applications which do not require large amount of global communications. Since CFD problems are not very communication intensive, whole test cluster may be efficiently used. As an example of practical CFD simulations. the flow past the ONERA M6 wing and the flow past infinite wing are simulated on a cluster of Linux workstations.

In a screw-type centrifugal pump, the pump head deteriorates from single-phase flow to the choke due to an increased air entrainment at a wide tip clearance compared to that of a narrow tip clearance. Moreover, at a narrow tip clearance, the pump head became partially higher in a two-phase flow than that of a single-phase flow near the best efficiency point in low void fraction region. Therefore, we observed the internal flow pattern by using a stroboscope and we measured the mean size of bubbles from the images obtained with a high speed camera. Then, we investigated the influences of the mean size of bubbles, tip clearances and flow patterns on pump performance.

The wet-air oxidation in gravity pressure reactor is effective for organic waste treatment with energy saving under high pressure and high temperature. But its oxidation control is difficulty because its multi-phase flow characteristics is very complicated. The flow characteristics of an oxidizer feed section in the gravity pressure reactor were investigated using numerical method which are verified by comparison with experimental results. In this study, the results showed that the flow rate of oxidizer have an effect on the generation of bubble around feed section.

Inlet part of a printed circuit heat exchanger has been optimized by using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes analysis and surrogate modeling techniques. Kriging model has been used as the surrogate model. The objective function for the optimization has been defined as a linear combination of uniformity of mass flow rate and the pressure loss with a weighting factor. For the optimization, the angle of the inlet plenum wall, radius of curvature of the inlet plenum wall, and width of the inlet pipes have been selected as design variables. Twenty six design points are obtained by Latin Hypercube Sampling in design space. Through the optimization, considerable improvement in the objective function has been obtained in comparison with the reference design of PCHE.

A numerical investigation is made of air flow in a spinner equipment used for cleanning and drying flat display panels. A unique feature of the spinner under question is the placement of a torus plate cover over the rotating plate. The turbulent flow is driven by rotation of a large disk and suction by the exhaust system connected to vacuum chamber. The flow is modelled as an axisymmetric two-dimensional flow and computation is conducted by using the FLUENT package with a version of k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model. The required capacity of the exhaust system is assessed numerically. The usefulness of the cover in controlling air flow circulation is examined. A computational trouble shooting is attempted to resolve the problem of panel rising which occurred in real experiment.
