An overview is given on the work of the Laboratory of Nuclear Energy Systems at ETH, Zurich (ETHZ) and of the Laboratory of Thermal Hydraulics at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland on tight-lattice bundles. Two-phase flow in subchannels of a tight triangular lattice was studied experimentally and by computational fluid dynamics simulations. Two adiabatic facilities were used: (1) a vertical channel modeling a pair of neighboring sub-channels; and (2) an arrangement of four subchannels with one subchannel in the center. The first geometry was equipped with two electrical film sensors placed on opposing rod surfaces forming the subchannel gap. They recorded 2D liquid film thickness distributions on a domain of $16{\times}64$ measuring points each, with a time resolution of 10 kHz. In the bubbly and slug flow regime, information on the bubble size, shape, and velocity and the residual liquid film thickness underneath the bubbles were obtained. The second channel was investigated using cold neutron tomography, which allowed the measurement of average liquid film profiles showing the effect of spacer grids with vanes. The results were reproduced by large eddy simulation + volume of fluid. In the outlook, a novel nonadiabatic subchannel experiment is introduced that can be driven to steady-state dryout. A refrigerant is heated by a heavy water circuit, which allows the application of cold neutron tomography.

Turbulence models are separately assessed for a three dimensional thermal-hydraulic analysis of the integral reactor SMART. Seven models (mixing length, k-l, standard $k-{\epsilon},\;k-{\epsilon}-f{\mu},\;k-{\epsilon}-v2$, RRSM, and ERRSM) are investigated for flat plate channel flow, rotating channel flow, and square sectioned U-bend duct flow. The results of these models are compared to the DNS data and experiment data. The results are assessed in terms of many aspects such as economical efficiency, accuracy, theorization, and applicability. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model (high Reynolds model), the $k-{\epsilon}-v2$ model, and the ERRSM (low Reynolds models) are selected from the assessment results. The standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model using small grid numbers predicts the channel flow with higher accuracy in comparison with the other eddy viscosity models in the logarithmic layer. The elliptic-relaxation type models, $k-{\epsilon}-v2$, and ERRSM have the advantage of application to complex geometries and show good prediction for near wall flows.

The present study numerically investigates the flow and heat transfer characteristics of rib-induced secondary flow in a cooling channel with staggered V-shaped ribs, extruded on both walls. The rib-height-to-hydraulic diameter ration (h/$D_h$) is 0.17; the rib pitch-to-height ratio (p/h) equals 2.8; the Reynolds number is 50,000. Shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model is used as a turbulence closure. The present results are compared with those for a continuous V-shaped rib. Computational results show that, for average heat transfer rate the staggered V-shaped rib gives about 2.5 times higher values than the continuous V-shaped rib, while, for the streamwise pressure drop the former gives about 5 times higher values than the latter. Consequently, for the thermal performances, based on the equal pumping power condition, the staggered one gives about 2 times higher values than the continuous one. Also, for the staggered V-shaped rib, complex secondary flow patterns are generated in the duct due to the snaking flow in the streamwise direction, and more uniform heat transfer distributions are obtained.

The purpose of the present study is to estimate the ecological instream flow for conservation and restoration of fish habitat in running water ecosystem which has very important status for stream environment. Estimation of the ecological instream flow in the present study was carried out by application of a two-dimensional depth averaged model of river hydrodynamics, River2D model. It can model fish habitat in natural streams and rivers and assess the quality of physical habitat accoriding to the species preferences for habitat suitability. Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki were selected as target fish species in the study area of the Seomjin river. The Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) developed by Sung et al. (2005) were used for target fish species, life stages and habitat conditions in the study. Weighted usable area (WUA) was computed by the River2D model considering preferences of target fish species for velocity, depth, and channel substrate. The result revealed that the ecological instream flow of $10.0m^3/s$ is needed to maintain the target fish habitat at each life stage in the river.

Experiment and three dimensional numerical investigations of incompressible turbulent flow through square channels with one- and two-sided ribbed walls are performed to determine pressure drop and heat transfer. The CFX(version 5.7) software package is used for the computation. The ribbed walls have a $45^{\circ}$ inclined square rib. Uniform heat flux is maintained on whole inner heat transfer channel area. The numerical results coincide with experimental data that obtained for $7,600{\le}Re{\le}24.900$, the pitch-to-rib height ratio (p/e) of 8.0. and the rib height-to-channel hydraulic diameter ratio ($e/D_h$) of 0.0667. The results show that values of local heat transfer coefficient and friction factor in the channel with two-sided ribbed wall are higher than those in the channel with one-sided ribbed walls.

We present a three-dimensional (3D) particle focusing channel using the positive dielectrophoresis (pDEP) guided by a dielectric structure between two planar electrodes. The dielectric structure between two planar electrodes induces the maximum electric field at the center of the microchannel, and particles are focused to the center of the microchannel by pDEP as they flow from the single sample injection port. Compared to the previous 3D particle focusing methods, the present device achieves the simple and effective particle focusing function without any additional fluidic ports and top electrodes. In the experimental study, approximately 90 % focusing efficiency were achieved within the focusing length of 2mm, on both x-z plane (top-view) and y-z plane (side-view) for $2{\mu}m$-diameter polystyrene (PS) bead at the applied voltage over 15 Vp-p (square wave) and at the flow rate below 0.01 ${\mu}l$/min. The present 3D particle focusing channel results in a simple particle focusing method suitable for use in integrated microbiochemical analysis system.

전형적 PWR 비상노심냉각계통에서의 12 inch 파단사고에 대응하는 LOFT 중형냉각재 상실사고 모사 실험 자료 L5-1을 이용하여 RELAP5/MOD2 Cycle 36.04 전산코드의 평가가 수행되었다. 평가 근거는 기준 코드와 nodalization에 의한 계산 결과가 L5-1 실험 결과와 잘 일치하는지, 추가적인 민감도 분석 연구로는 이중 노심 유로 및 열적 모델을 고려하고 model 민감도 분석으로는 reflood, gap conductance option 사용 여부에 따른 피복재 온도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 기준 계산 결과 기준 모델이 L5-1 현상을 대체로 잘 모사하였으나, 피복재가 천천히 가열되고 주변 부위의 피복재 온도가 과대하게 예견되었다. 민감도 분석 결과 단일 열적 모델이 피복재 가열 시작을 10초개선 하였고, 이중 유로 모델이 주변 온도를 20K 개선하였으나 최대 피복재 온도는 기준 계산시 보다 정확치 못하였으므로, 기준 모델인 단일 유로, 이중 열적 구조 그리고 reflood option은 사용하고 gap conductance option은 사용치 않는 것이 코드의 중형 냉각재 상실사고 해석시 피복재 온도 관찰의 관점에서 바람직하다.

하천의 합류부에서는 홍수시 침수피해가 빈번하게 발생 하거나 하안침식, 강턱붕괴, 하천의 장갑화 등의 악영향이 발생하는데, 이러한 현상의 원인 규명을 위해 본류와 지류의 유량비에 의해 혹은 지류의 유입각에 의해 다양한 흐름 특성을 가정하고 개수로 장치를 이용하거나 수치모형 실험을 통하여 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미시시피 대학 연구기관인 NCCHE(Natioanl Center for Computational Hydroscience an Engineering)에서 개발한 CCHE2D 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여, 개수로 합류부에서 흐름 및 하상변동 특성을 분석하였다. 수치모의 결과는 "Experiments on Flow at a $90^{\circ}$ Open-Channel Junction", Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, May 2001, Vol. 127, No. 5, 340-350.에 기재되었던 논문의 실내실험 결과와 비교분석하였으며, 유속의 분포는 $0.01{\sim}1.0$ m정도로 개수로 관측치와 비교적 유사하게 모의 되었다. 또한 하상 변동 모의 결과 Biron 등(1996)이 제안한 합류부에서 6구역의 흐름 정의도와 대체적으로 유사하게 모의 되었으며, 최대 유속 구간에서 $-0.2m{\sim}0.03m$의 침식이 발생하고, 정체 구간과 분리구간에서 $0.01{\sim}0.02m$의 퇴적이 발생하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 하천의 물리적 특성을 파악하고 하천공사나 수리구조물 설계의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) in terms of reflecting the actual vascular length. Three-dimensional time of flight (3D TOF) MRA, 3D contrast-enhanced (CE) MRA, volume-rendering after CTA and maximum intensity projection were investigated using a flow model phantom with a diameter of 2.11 mm and area of $0.26cm^2$. 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla devices were used for 3D TOF MRA and 3D CE MRA. CTA was investigated using 16 and 64 channel CT scanners, and the images were transmitted and reconstructed by volume-rendering and maximum intensity projection, followed by conduit length measurement as described above. The smallest 3D TOF MRA measure was $2.51{\pm}0.12mm$ with a flow velocity of 40 cm/s using the 3.0 Tesla apparatus, and $2.57{\pm}0.07mm$ with a velocity of 71.5 cm/s using the 1.5 Tesla apparatus; both images were magnified from the actual measurement of 2.11 mm. The measurement with the 16 channel CT scanner was smaller ($3.83{\pm}0.37mm$) than the reconstructed image on maximum intensity projection. The images from CTA from examination apparatus and reconstruction technique were all larger than the actual measurement.
