Characteristics of flow patterns in horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow for two different sizes of pipe were investigated based upon a statistical analysis of differential pressure fluctuations at an orifice. The probability density function and the power spectral density function of the traces indicate peculiar shapes depending upon the two-phase flow regime. Mixed and separated flows also could be identified by the autocorrelation function. The transition region from separated flow to mixed flow also could be identified by these statistical properties. The experimental data determined by this method were compared with the flow pattern maps suggested by other investigators. The result indicates that the statistical characteristics of differential pressure fluctuations at orifices may be a useful tool for identifying flow patterns of horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow.

A particle trajectory model to simulate two-phase particle-laden crossjets into two-dimensional horizontal free stream has been developed to study the variations of the jet trajectories and velocity variations of the gaseous and the particulate phases. The following conclusions may be drawn from the predicted results, which are in agreement with experimental observations. The penetration of the two-phase jet in a crossflow is greater than that of the single-phase jet. The penetration of particles into the free stream increases with increasing particle size, solids-gas loading ratio and carrier gas to free stream velocity ratio at the jet exit. When the particle size is large, the solid particles separate from the carrier gas , while the particles are completely suspended in the carrier gas for the case of small size particles. As the particle to carrier gas velocity ratio at the jet exit is less than unity, the particles in the vicinity of the jet exit are accelerated by the carrier gas. As the injection angle is increased, the difference of the particle trajectory from that of the pure gas becomes larger. Therefore, it can be concluded that the velocities and trajectories of the particle-laden jets in a crossflow change depending on the solids-gas loading ratio, particle size, carrier gas to free stream velocity ratio and particle to gas velocity ratio at the jet exit.

Two-phase flow phenomena are observed in many industrial facilities and make much importance of optimum design for nuclear power plant and the liquid transportation system. The particular flow pattern depends on the conditions of pressure, flow velocity, and channel geometry. However, the research on drag reduction in two-phase flow is not intensively investigated. Therefore, experimental investigations have been carried out to analyze the drag reduction and void fraction by polymer addition in the two-phase flow system. We find that the polymer solution changes the characteristic of two-phase flow. The peak position of local void friction moves from tile wall of the pipe to the center of the pipe when polymer concentration increase. And then we predict that it is closely related with the frau reduction.

유동장에서의 기포거동 정보의 중요성 때문에 이를 정확히 측정하기 위한 실험방법이 여러 가지로 발전해 왔지만 아직까지도 기포분포에 대한 정확한 정보 추출에는 도달하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원래 의공학분야에서 새로운 tomography 기술로 연구되고 있는 EIT(Electrical Impedance Tomography) 기술을 2상유동에서의 기포분포 측정방법 개발에 적용하기 위한 기초연구와 기포분포 가시화를 위한 전산실험을 수행하였다. 기포분포 가시화를 위해서는 EIT inverse problem solver로 많이 사용되는 iNR(improved Newton-Raphson) 계열의 EIT 염상복원 프로그램을 본 연구진이 유전알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)과 fuzzy-based mesh grouping 방법을 추가하여 개선한 영상복원프로그램을 사용하였다. 전산실험 결과 본 영상복원프로그램으로는 12$\times$12의 분해능으로 모사되는 기포분포를 저항률 오차한도 $\pm$1%의 신뢰도로 PC상에서 복원이 가능함을 확인하였다.

A numerical analysis of the liquid-gas two-phase flows has been conducted. The incompressible equations of the two-phase flows were solved by the artificial compressibility method with the CLSVOF interface capturing method. To analyze the grid dependency of CLSVOF, a numerical analysis of Zalesak's disk and three-dimensional liquid deformation problem were carried out, and the reconstruction of deformation was investigated. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability was numerically analyzed by applying the equations of incompressible two-phase flow, and the surface instability was observed.

두 종류의 열방성 액정고분자와 세종류의 엔지니어링 고분자와의 블렌드들에 대해 유변학적/형구학적 연구를 한 결과 블렌드의 유동거동과 물성이현저히 다른 두 그룹으로 나 뉘어짐을 발견하였다. 즉 연속상의 조업온도가 분산상의 전이온도보다 높은 그룹A에 속하 는 블렌드의 전단점도/신장점도는 액정고분자를 첨가할수록 첨가할수록 감소하고 블렌드의 신장점도는 연속상의 그것처럼 신장변형률속도가 커질수록 증가하였다. 또한 분산상의 점도 가 연속상의 그것보다 작아서 분산상이 미세섬유구조의 형태로 존재하였다. 이와 대조적으 로 연속상의 조업온도가 액정고분자의 전이온도보다 낮은 그룹 B에 속하는 블렌드는 반대 의 거동을 보였고 분산상의 미세섬유구조가 존재하지 않았다. 그러나 연신변형이 주가 되는 방사공정을 거치면 그룹A와 B블렌드 공히 분산상이 비슷한 미세섬유구조의 형태로 존재하 고 기계적 성질도 크게 향상되는 결과를 보였다. 이는 블렌드내의 신장유동이 분산상의 섬 유구조형상에 결정적 역할을 하기 때문이라 판단된다.

An experimental investigation is conducted to study a 2-phase vertically upward hydraulic transport of solid particles by water and non-Newtonian fluids in a slim hole concentric annulus with rotation of the inner cylinder. Rheology of particulate suspensions in viscoelastic fluids is of importance in many applications such as particle removal from surfaces, transport of proppants in fractured reservoir and cleaning of drilling holes, etc. In this study, a clear acrylic pipe was used in order to observe the movement of solid particles. Annular velocities varied from 0.3 m/s to 2.0 m/s. The mud systems included fresh water and CMC solutions. Main parameters considered in the study were inner-pipe rotation speed, fluid flow regime and particle injection rate. A particle rising velocity and pressure drop in annulus have been measured for fully developed flows of water and of aqueous solutions. For both water and 0.2% CMC solutions, the higher the concentration of the solid particles is, the larger the pressure gradients become.

Flow pattern of air-water two phase flow depends on the conditions of pressure drop, void fraction, and channel geometry. Drag reduction in the two phase flow can be applied to the transport of crude oil, phase change systems such as chemical reactor, pool and boiling flow, and to present cavitation which occurs in pump impellers. But the research on drag reduction in two phase flow is not intensively investigated. Therefore, experimental investigations have been carried out to analyze the drag reduction produced and void fraction by Co-polymer(A611p) addition in the two phase flow system. We find that the maximum point position of local void friction moves from the wall of the pipe to the center of the pipe when polymer concentration increases. Also we find that the polymer solution changes the characteristics of the two phase flow. And then we predict that it is closely related with the drag reduction.

A component-scale two-phase analysis code has been developed for a realistic simulation of two-phase flow transients in a light water nuclear reactor component. In the code, a two-fluid three-field model is adopted and the governing equations are solved on an unstructured mesh. For the numerical solution scheme, the semi-implicit method used in the RELAP5 code was selected, which has been proved to be very stable and accurate for most of practical applications. However, some modifications were needed for its application to an unstructured non-staggered grid. This paper presents the modified semi-implicit numerical method for unstructured grid and the preliminary results of the calculations.
