In this study, design technology of a non-mechanical flow meter using fluidic oscillation generated during the fluid flow in the chamber was investigated. To with respect to design a splitter, which is the most important factor in fluid oscillation, a transient flow simulation analysis was performed for three types of shapes and changes in inlet flow velocity. The oscillation characteristics with respect to the time in each case were compared, and it was confirmed that the SM03 model was the best among the presented models. In addition, the FFT analysis of the fluid oscillation results for the SM03 model was used to obtain a linear correlation between the flow velocity change and the maximum frequency, and a frequency of 20.957 (Hz/m/s) per unit flow velocity was obtained. Finally, injection molding simulation and molding experiment of the chamber with the designed splitter were performed.

A numerical analysis was performed to predict the thermo-fluid dynamic characteristics of hydrazine monopropellant reaction in the thruster combustor and nozzle. A 1-D porous model was introduced to simulate catalytic reaction by iridium in the combustor while 2-D axisymmetric analysis was applied to predict the nozzle flow. The chemical species and temperature variations were predicted by changing the injection pressure and mass flow rate and their results were validated by comparison with limited experimental data. The thrust variation with injection pressure could be estimated using the current 1-D combustor modeling.

In this study, forming of carbon composite parts was performed using an injection/compression molding process. An impregnation of matrix is determined by ability of wet and flow rate between the matrix and reinforcement. The flow rate of matrix passing through the reinforcements is a function of permeability of reinforcement, a viscosity of matrix and pressure gradient on molding, and the viscosity of the matrix depends on the mold temperature, molding pressure and shear strain of matrix. Therefore, compression molding experiment was conducted using a heating mold in order to confirm the possibility of matrix impregnation. The impregnation of the matrix through the porosities between the woven yarns was confirmed by the cross-sectional SEM image of compression molded parts. An injection molding process was also performed at a short cycle time, high molding pressure and low mold temperature than those of compression experiment conditions. Deterioration of impregnation on the surface of molded parts were caused by these injection conditions and it could be the reason of decreasing the maximum tensile strength. In order to improve impregnation of matrix on the surface, injection/compression molding and insert-over molding were applied. As a result of applying injection/compression molding and insert-over molding, it was shown that the improvement of impregnation on the surface and the maximum tensile strength was increased about 2.8 times than the virgin matrix.

Flow and spray characteristics are critical factors that affect the performance and exhaust emissions of a direct injection diesel engine. It is well known that the swirl control system is one of the useful ways to improve the fuel consumption and emission reduction rate in a diesel engine. However, until now there have only been a few studies on the effect of flow on spray. Because of this, the relationship between the flow pattern in the cylinder and its influence on the behavior of the spray is in need of investigation. First, in-cylinder flow distributions for 4-valve cylinder head of DI (Direct Injection) Diesel engine were investigated under steady-state conditions for different SCV (Swirl Control Valve) opening angles using a steady flow rig and 2-D LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry). It was found that swirl flow was more dominant than that of tumble in the experimented engine. In addition, the in-cylinder flow was quantified in terms of swirl/tumble ratio and mean flow coefficient. As the SCV opening angle was increased, high swirl ratios more than 3.0 were obtained in the case of SCV -70° and 90°. Second, spray characteristics of the intermittent injection were investigated by a PDA (Phase Doppler Anemometer) system. A Time Dividing Method (TDM) was used to analyze the microscopic spray characteristics. It was found that the atomization characteristics such as velocity and SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) of the spray were affected by the in-cylinder swirl ratio. As a result, it was concluded that the swirl ratio improves atomization characteristics uniformly.

The flowfields generated by gaseous slot injection into a supersonic flow at a Mach number of 3.75 and a Reynolds number of $2.07{\times}10^7$ are simulated numerically. Fine-scale turbulence effects are represented by a two-equation(k-w SST model) closure model which includes $y^+$ effects on the turbulence model. Grid convergence index(GCI) is also considered to provide a measure of uncertainty of the grid convergence. Comparison is made with experimental data and other turbulence model in term of surface static pressure distributions, the length of the upstream separation region, and the penetration height. Results indicate that the k-w SST model correctly predicts mean surface pressure distribution and upstream separation length. However, it is also observed that the numerical simulation over predicts the pressure spike and penetration height compared with experimental data. All these results are taken within $1\%$ error band of grid convergence.

The common-rail injectors are the most critical component of the CRDI diesel engines that dominantly affect engine performances through high pressure injection with exact control. Thus, from now on the advanced combustion technologies for common-rail diesel injection engine require high performance fuel injectors. Accordingly, the previous studies on the numerical and experimental analysis of the diesel injector have focused on a optimum geometry to induce proper injection rate. In this study, computational predictions of performance of the diesel injector have been performed to evaluate internal flow characteristics for various needle lift and the spray pattern at the nozzle exit. To our knowledge, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the internal flow passage of an entire injector duct including injection and return routes has never been studied. In this study, major design parameters concerning internal routes in the injector are optimized by using a CFD analysis and Response Surface Method (RSM). The computational prediction of the internal flow characteristics of the common-rail diesel injector was carried out by using STAR-CCM+7.06 code. In this work, computations were carried out under the assumption that the internal flow passage is a steady-state condition at the maximum needle lift. The design parameters are optimized by using the L16 orthogonal array and polynomial regression, local-approximation characteristics of RSM. Meanwhile, the optimum values are confirmed to be valid in 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, optimal design and prototype design were confirmed by calculating the injection quantities, resulting in the improvement of the injection performance by more than 54%.

본 연구는 마하수 2.5의 초음속 영역에서 마하수 1.0의 슬롯 분사가 있는 후향계단 형상에 대한 유동장 특성을 분석하기 위하여 초음속풍동 시험부를 설계, 제작하였다. 비행체가 고속으로 움직일 때 공동 주위의 유동은 매우 복잡하여 수치해석 결과를 검증할 초음속풍동 시험 자료가 필요하기 때문에 기존의 2차원 대칭형 노즐을 아랫면이 평판인 비대칭형 노즐로 수정하였다. 특성곡선해법을 이용한 비점성 노즐을 설계하고, 시험을 통해 얻은 경계층 두께를 노즐에 반영하여 보정한 기법을 C 언어로 프로그래밍하여 얻은 결과를 수치해석 결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 슬롯 분사 시 지속적인 유동장 변화 분석을 위한 초음속 유지시간 확보를 위해 저장탱크의 압력 변화에 따른 PID 제어프로그램 수정으로 초음속 유동 유지시간을 약 5초에서 약 6초로 1초 정도 연장하여 제어 효율을 향상하였고, 슬롯 분사가 있는 후향계단에서의 유동장 변화를 슐리렌장치로 가시화하여 복잡한 유동장 특성을 확인하였다. 향후 슬롯 분사의 속도와 유량, 유동장의 온도를 변화하여 공동에서의 막냉각 효과 분석을 위한 장비로 사용할 계획이다.

본 수치해석연구에서는 국제공동연구프로젝트 DECOVALEX2019의 Task B의 일환으로 PFC3D를 기반으로한 수리역학연계모델을 개발하여 스위스 Mont Terri 지하연구시설에서 수행된 단층의 유체주입으로 인한 슬립시험을 모사하였다. 이를통해, 개발한 PFC3D 수리역학연계모델이 가진 한계점과 향후 보완할 점을 검토하고자 하였다. PFC3D를 기반으로한 3차원 입자결합모델 내 공극-유동통로모델을 생성하였으며 이를 사용하여 Mont Terri Step 2 단층내 유체주입실험을 모사하였다. 모델링결과 단층대를 따라 주입유체의 유동에 의한 단층대의 변형을 확인하였지만, 관측정에서의 시간에 따른 수압변화는 현장측정치와 부분적으로 일치하는 경향을 확인하였다. 현장측정 관측수압은 초기 유체주입 압력증가에 거의 변화를 보이지 않고 주입수압이 최대치에 도달할때쯤 급격한 증가를 보이는반면, 모델링에서는 주입압력이 증가함에 따라 관측수압도 부드럽게 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 부분적으로 일치하는 결과의 원인으로는 Mont Terri 현장의 단층을 모사하는 방법에 기인하는 것으로 판단하다. PFC3D에서는 단층을 손상대와 코어균열의 조합으로 모사하였고 단층대의 두께가 약 2 m로 주입유체가 단층대를 통해 유동하도록 모사하였기에 현장에서의 주입유체의 단층내 유동보다 그 유동범위가 크게 모사되었다고 판단한다. 또한, 현장단층에서와 같이 단층내부에 존재하는 충진물질로 인해 단층내 수리유동이 제한되어 국부적으로 과잉공급수압이 형성될 수 있는 기재를 모사하지 못한 점 또한 모델링 결과와 현장측정결과가 부분적으로 일치하는 원인일 수 있다. 단층변형의 경우는 모델링결과와 현장측정결과 유사한 수준으로 일치하는 결과를 확인하였다. 수치모델을 변형하여 단층대의 두께를 감소시키고 단층내 충진 물질의 비균질적인분포를 모사할 수 있는 방법론에 대한 후속 연구를 통해 PFC3D 수리역학연계모델의 유체주입으로 인한 단층활성화 연구로의 적용성을 향상시키는 것을 제안하고 한다.

A coupled liquid-gas-solid three-phase model, linking two numerical codes (TOUGH2/EOS3 and $FLAC^{3D}$), was firstly established and validated by simulating an in-situ air flow test in Essen. Then the coupled model was employed to investigate responses of multiphase flow and soil skeleton deformation to compressed air or freshwater injection using the same simulation conditions in an aquifer of Tianjin, China. The simulation results show that with injecting pressurized fluids, the vertical effective stress in some area decreases owing to the pore pressure increasing, an expansion of soil skeleton appears, and land uplift occurs due to support actions from lower deformed soils. After fluids injection stops, soil deformation decreases overall due to injecting fluids dissipating. With the same applied pressure, changes in multiphase flow and geo-mechanical deformation caused by compressed air injection are relatively greater than those by freshwater injection. Furthermore, the expansion of soil skeleton induced by compressed air injection transfers upward and laterally continuously with time, while during and after freshwater injection, this expansion reaches rapidly a quasi-steady state. These differences induced by two fluids injection are mainly because air could spread upward and laterally easily for its lower density and phase state transition appears for compressed air injection.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether D-myo-inositol-l,2,6-trisphosphate (PP56) can effectively antagonize vasoconstriction caused by neuropeptide Y in the dental pulp, and to understand involvement of neuropeptide Y in the regulation of microcirculation in the dental pulp with the aim of elucidating neurogenic inflammation. Experiments were performed on 7 cats anesthetised with sodium pentobarbital, and neuropeptide Y and a neuropeptide Y antagonist PP56 were injected close intra-arterially into the dental pulp. The probe of laser Doppler flowmeter was placed on the buccal surface of ipsilateral canine teeth to the drug administration and pulpal blood flow was measured. Intra-arterial injection of neuropeptide Y (1.3-$2.0\;{\mu}g$/kg) resulted in pulpal blood flow decrease of $37.73{\pm}5.73%$(mean${\pm}$SEM) (n=9). Intra-arterial injection of PP56(0.3 mg/kg) alone changed pulpal blood flow little by 1.03 % reduction. The effect of neuropeptide Y in the presence of PP56 resulted in significantly less decreases in pulpal blood flow ranging from $27.17{\pm}5.37$ to $16.63{\pm}3.48%$ from control as compared with neuropeptide Y alone(n = 13). In effect, PP56 attenuated pulpal blood flow caused by neuropeptide Y. Results of the present study have provided evidences that a non-peptide PP56 is capable of antagonizing vasoconstriction caused by neuropeptide Y in the feline dental pulp. In addition, they show functional evidences that neuropeptide Y plays an active role in modulating the microcirculation of the dental pulp.
