A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been developed for the analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. A two-fluid three-field model was used for steam-water two-phase flows. To obtain numerical solutions, the finite volume method was applied over unstructured cell-centered meshes. In steam-water two-phase flows, a phase change, i.e., evaporation of condensation, results in a great change in the flow field because of substantial density difference between liquid and vapor phases. Thus, two-phase flows are very sensitive to the local pressure that determines the phase change. This in turn puts emphasis on the accurate evaluation of local pressure gradient. This paper presents a new numerical scheme to evaluate the pressure gradient at cell centers on unstructured meshes. The results of the new scheme for a simple test function a gravity-driven cavity, and a wall boiling two-phase flow are compared with those of the previous schemes in the cupid code.

A mathematical model is presented to predict the two-phase flow and heat transfer phenomena of the evaporating extended meniscus region in a micro-channel. The pressure difference at the liquid-vapor interface can be obtained by the augmented Laplace-Young equation. The correlative equations for film thickness, pressure, and velocity in the meniscus region are derived by applying the mass, momentum, and energy equations into the control volume. The results show that increasing the heat flux and the liquid inlet velocity cause the length and liquid film thickness of the extended meniscus region to decrease. The variation, however, of the heat flux and liquid inlet velocity has no effect on the profile of film thickness. The majority of heat is transferred through the thin film region that is a very small region in the extended meniscus region. It is also found that the vapor velocity increases gradually in the meniscus region. However, it increases sharply at the junction of the meniscus and thin film regions.

An experiment was conducted to investigate whether an equation of heat transfer coefficient derived form energy equation of two-phase plug flow can be actually applied to the industrial field. The heat is constantly transfered to the sand beds from the wall of heat exchanger while the sand moves down through cylindrical heat exchanger by gravity from feed hooper. To increase heat transfer, turbulators such as glass ball and steel pipe packings were used. In addition, the experiment in the case of fluidizing the sand beds was also carried out. The temperatures of the sand beds and the wall were measured along the heat exchanger axis. The density and porosity of the sand beds were also measured. The deviations of the mean velocity of sands from the velocity on the wall surface because of the slip conditions on the wall were negligible (within 3%). The heat transfer coefficients when the turbulators were used and when the sand beds were fluidized were found to be much greater than those of the plain plug flow.

The non-conservative form of momentum equations is often used for some two-phase flow codes instead of a conservative form because of numerical convenience. Another non-conservative form, so called, a semi-conservative form can improve the numerical solution of these codes maintaining the numerical convenience. It is close to the conservative form but still maintains the feature of the non-conservative form. A semi-conservative form of the momentum equations and a non-conservative form of the momentum equations are implemented in CUPID[1] code. The numerical results of the semi-conservative and the non-conservative forms are compared against analytical solutions and the solutions of the FLUENT code that uses the conservative form. The results clearly showed that the semi-conservative form of the momentum equations provides better solutions than the non-conservative form, especially for heterogeneous two-phase flows.

Two phase flow phenomena are observed in many industrial facilities and make much importance of optimum design for nuclear power plant and various heat exchangers. This experimental study has been investigated the classification of the flow pattern, the local void distribution and convective heat transfer in swirl and non-swirl two phase flow under the isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The convective heat transfer coefficients in the single phase water flow were measured and compared with the calculated results from the Sieder-Tate correlation. These coefficients were used for comparisons with the two-phase heat transfer coefficients in the flow orientations. The experimental results indicate, that the void probe signal and probability density function of void distribution can used into classify the flow patterns, no significant difference in voidage distribution was observed between isothermal and non-isothermal condition in non-swirl flow, the values of two phase heat transfer coefficients increase when superficial air velocities increase, and the enhancement of the values is observed to be most pronounced at the highest superficial water velocity in non-swirl flow. Also two phase heat transfer coefficients in swirl flow are increased when the twist ratios are decreased.

촉매변환기용 모노리스에서의 속도변화에 따른 압력강하를 알아보기 위하여 풍동을 제작하여 실험하였다. 200 cpsi, 300 cpsi와 400 cpsi의 모노리스 담체에 대한 압력강하를 측정하였고, 듀얼베드 형태에서의 압력강하를 알아보기 위하여 200 cpsi, 300 cpsi와 400 cpsi들 중 두 개씩 조합하여 두 모노리스 담체의 사이 간격을 변화시켜가면서 압력강하를 측정하였다. 또한 많이 사용되고 있는 촉매가 담지된 400cpsi의 모노리스를 이용하여 촉매 담지에 대한 유동의 영향을 살표보았다. 모노리스 상·하류간의 압력강하는 공극율에 상관없이 공기와 유로벽과의 접촉면적에 따라 증가한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안된 상관관계를 상용하여 모노리스 형상에 따른 압력강하를 근사적으로 예측 할 수 있다. 듀얼베드 형태에서의 압력강하는 상류부와 하류부의 개별적인 모노리스의 압력강하와 두 모노리스 사이에서의 압력강하의 합으로 볼 수 있는데, 두 모노리스 사이에서의 압력강하는 무시할 만 하였다. 따라서 듀얼베드 형태의 전체적인 압력강하는 상류부와 하류부의 개별적인 모노리스에서 생기는 압력강하만의 합으로 구할 수 있다. 촉매가 담지되지 않은 모노리스의 측정결과로부터 제안된 상관관계를 촉매가 담지된 모노리스의 압력강하를 예측하는데 사용하기 위해서는 모노리스 길이를 원래길이의 1.25배로 수정하여 사용하여야 한다.

Interfacial shear stresses have been determined for countercurrent stratified flow of air and water in a nearly-horizontal rectangular channel, based upon measurements of pressure drop, gas velocity profiles and mean film thickness. A dimensionless correlation for the interfacial friction factor has been developed as a function of the gas and liquid Reynolds numbers. Equivalent surface roughnesses for the interfacial friction factor have been calculated using the Nikuradse correlation and have been compared with the intensity of the wave height fluctuation on the interface. The results show that the interfacial shear stress is mainly affected by turbulent mixing near the interface due to the wave motion rather than by the roughened surface.

강우의 시 공간적 불균형이 심한 우리나라는 수자원 확보 및 관리가 어려움에 따라 신규 수자원 확보와 기존 수자원 관리의 중요성에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있다. 최근 대체수자원으로서 대두되고 있는 지하수는 지표수에 비해 이용지점에서 바로 취수하여 사용이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나, 오염이 진행되면 복구에 상당한 기간과 비용이 소요됨에 따라 철저한 관리가 필요하다. 특히 해안지역 수자원의 경우, 내륙지역에 비해 하천이 발달해 있지 않아 지하수에 대한 높은 의존도에 따른 수량적 문제와 해수와 접해있는 면적이 많음에 따라 지하수와 해수간의 유동으로 인한 수질적 문제로 지하수 관리가 더욱 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 지하수유동해석프로그램인 Visual MODFLOW의 SEAWAT model을 이용하여 지하수위 변화에 따른 해수침투의 영향을 판단하고자 하였다. 연구지역은 태안지역의 근흥1, 근흥2 관측소의 지하수위 데이터를 사용하였으며, 2008 ~ 2014년 까지 매년 지하수위 변동에 따라 해수침투 영향을 분석하였다. 이와 함께 해수침투 영향 판단 인자인 EC, TDS는 각 관측소 데이터를 통한 환산 및 분석 진행하고, $Cl/HCO_3$ 몰비는 참고문헌을 인용하여 모델링에 의한 해수침투 영향과 관측자료 및 이온분석을 통한 영향을 비교하였다.

In this study, the centrifuge tests were performed to investigate the lateral flow behavior and stability of the ground improved by SCP. The centrifuge tests were fulfilled in the case of the back of abutment filled by EPS (case 1) and soil (case 2), and the potentiometer was installed on the abutment and embankment to measure the vertical and horizontal displacement at the top of abutment. As a result, the vertical displacement measured at the back of abutment was maximum 2.1 m, which was about 12% if compared with the height of embankment. In the case of the back of abutment filled by soil, the vertical and horizontal displacement measured at the top of abutment was 10 cm and 1.1 m, respectively, which exceeded the allowable horizontal displacement. On the other hand, in the case of the back of abutment filled by EPS, the vertical displacement of abutment did nor occur and the horizontal displacement was 1.4 cm. Therefore, the effect of SCP improvement with EPS method adopted to prevent the lateral flow and assure the stability of embankment on the soft ground was far superior.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine changes in the dentinal fluid flow (DFF) during desensitizing agent application and to compare permeability after application among the agents. Materials and Methods: A Class 5 cavity was prepared to exposure cervical dentin on an extracted human premolar which was connected to a sub-nanoliter fluid flow measuring device (NFMD) under 20 cm water pressure. DFF was measured from before application of desensitizing agent (Seal&Protect, SP; SuperSeal, SS; BisBlock, BB; Gluma desensitizer, GL; Bi-Fluoride 12, BF) through application procedure to 5 min after application. Results: DFF rate after each desensitizing agent application was significantly reduced when compared to initial DFF rate before application (p < 0.05). SP showed a greater reduction in DFF rate than GL and BF did (p < 0.05). SS and BB showed a greater reduction in DFF rate than BF did (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Characteristic DFF aspect of each desensitizing agent was shown in NFMD during the application procedure.
