As a propellant of a high speed underwater vehicle, the hydro-reactive solid metal particles using seawater as a oxidizer maximizes its specific impulse when the solid metal particles and the seawater are uniformly mixed in the combustion chamber. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of injector geometry on the particle distribution of similarity point of view. For the purpose of this similarity of the mean velocity and particle number density along the radial direction was measured by Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV).

The purpose of this study is to analyze numerically the movement of particles included in turbulent fluid flow characteristics of metallic surfaces. To describe fluid flew, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation discretized by the finite volume method were solved on the non-orthogonal coordinates with non-staggered variable arrangement, and the k-$\xi$ turbulence model was adapted. After fluid flow was calculated, particle movement was predicted from the Lagrangian approaches. Non-essential complexities were avoided by assuming that the particles had spherical shapes and the Stoke's drag formula only consisted of external farces acting upon them. In order to validate the numerical calculations, the results were compared with the experimental data reported in literature and agreed well with them. The drag force coefficient equation showed better agreement with the experimental data in the prediction of particle movement than the correction factor equation. Impact velocity and impact angle increased as inlet turbulence intensity decreased, relative jet height was lower. or the Reynolds number was larger.

An analysis of radiative heat transfer has been conducted on axisymmetric finite cylindrical media. It is assumed that the temperature in the media is uniformly distributed and the boundaries are diffusely emitting and reflecting at a constant temperature. The scattering phase function is represented by the delta-Eddington approximation to account for highly forward scattering by particulates just as in the combustion system. Exact numerical solutions are obtained by Gaussian quadrature method and compared with P-1 and P-3 approximation solutions to verify their engineering application limit. The effects of optical thickness, scattering albedo, wall emissivity and aspect ratio are investigated. The results show that P-3 approximation is found to be in good agreement with the exact solution.

Prediction performances by Einstein's equation of diffusivity, Peskin's model, Three-Equation model, Four-Equation model and Algebraic Stress Model, have been compared by analyzing twophase (air-solid) turbulent jet flow. Turbulent kinetic energy equation of dispersed phase was solved to investigate effects of turbulent kinetic energy on turbulent diffusivity. Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate of particles has been considered by solving turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate equation of dispesed phase and applying it to turbulent diffusivity of dispersed phase. Results show that turbulent diffusivity of dispersed phase can be expressed by turbulent kinetic energy ratio between phases and prediction of turbulent kinetic energy was improved by considering turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate of dispersed phase for modelling turbulent diffusivity. This investigation also show that Algebraic Stress Model is the most promising method in analyzing gas-solid two phaes turbulent flow.

저온 대기압 플라즈마는 21세기에 들어 생의학 분야에 이용될 수 있는 새로운 도구로서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 대기압 플라즈마는 고가의 진공 장비를 필요로 하지 않고 저전력 구동이 가능하기 때문에 저비용 구동이 가능하고 방전 장치와 전력공급 장치의 소형화에 매우 유리하다. 특히 저온 대기압 플라즈마는 고온의 전자와 저온의 이온 입자가 공존하는 열적 불평형(thermal non-equilibrium) 상태에 있기 때문에 플라즈마의 저온 특성은 유지하면서도 (${\sim}30^{\circ}C$) 물리/화학적 반응성은 매우 높아 그 응용 분야가 매우 넓다. 플라즈마의 다양한 생의학 분야 응용 가운데 세포의 사멸 유발 또는 생장 촉진, 살균/멸균, 지혈, 상처 치유 등에 저온 대기압 플라즈마가 매우 뛰어난 효능을 보인다는 것이 국내외의 다양한 연구를 통해 밝혀지고 있다 [1]. 20 kHz 정현파로 구동되는 플라즈마 장치를 이용한 암 세포 제거 실험에서 플라즈마 처리 효과를 증대시키기 위해 항체-금나노입자 중합체를 암 세포에 주입시켰다 (그림 1(a)). 그 결과 세포의 사멸율은 74%로서 플라즈마 또는 플라즈마-금나노입자만을 처리한 경우에 비하여 사멸율이 매우 높게 나타났다 (그림 1(b)). 이를 통해 암세포 선택성을 가진 항체-금나노입자 중합체와 플라즈마 처리 기술을 융합한 암 세포의 선택적 사멸 유발 기술의 개발 가능성이 열렸다. 또한 플라즈마 처리를 통해 일어나는 세포의 자멸사 기작이 Cytochrome C의 방출 이후 이어지는 Caspase-3의 활성화 경로와 관계가 있음이 밝혀졌다 (그림 1(c)). 치아 미백은 최근 부상하고 있는 저온 대기압 플라즈마의 새로운 응용 분야이다 [5-6]. 대기압에서 동작하는 헬륨 플라즈마 제트를 미백제(과산화수소)와 함께 발치된 치아에 적용하였을 때 (그림 2(a)) 미백제만을 사용하였을 경우에 비해 치아의 색상 변화가 2배 이상 크게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다 (그림 2(b)). 이처럼 최근 그 범위가 크게 넓어지고 있는 저온 대기압 플라즈마의 생의학 응용 기술의 최적화를 위해서는, 다양한 생의학 응용 분야에 따라 요구되는 플라즈마의 특성 및 응용별 기저 기 작에 대한 이해와 연구가 필요하다.

Two-phase(air-solid, air-liquid droplet) turbulent round jet has been analyzed numerically using two equation turbulence model. The mean motion of suspending particles in air has been treated as the secondary fluid with virtual density and eddy viscosity. In this paper, the local mean velocity of secondary fluid is not assumed to be the same as that of the primary one. Dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy which arises because the particles can not catch up with the turbulent fluctuations of the primary fluid has been modelled by using the concept of Kolmogorov's spectral energy transfer. Numerical computations were performed for flows with different volume fraction of the dispersed phase and the diameter of particle. Results show that the total rate of turbulent energy dissipation, turbulent intensities and spreading rate of jets are reduced by the increase of volume fraction of dispersed phase. However it does not show consistent tendency with increasing the particle diameter. This investigation also shows that presence of particles in the fluid modifies the structure of the primary fluid flow significantly. Predicted velocity profiles and turbulence properties qualitatively agree with available data.
