The major source of noise in the process of transporting liquids is related to the cavitation phenomenon. The control valve noise is mostly dominated by bubble dynamics under cavitating conditions. In this investigation, an orifice configuration is set-up to correlate its flow-field and acoustic signatures with those from a control valve device. The performance and noise characteristics form the orifice configuration in anechoic surroundings were measured to reveal the noise sources depending on pressure differences across the orifice configuration. The sound powers from the orifice configuration are effectively normalized using proposed scaling parameters. Flow-excited dynamic systems for which there is no strong coupling between the flow and the system response can be described using a linear source-filter model. On this assumption, the normalized sound powers can be decomposed of noise source function and a response function. To find noise sources, pressure spectra measured over a range of pressure differences are transformed into the product of two non-dimensional frequency function : $P_{ss}(He,f_{ca},x/D) = F(f_{ca})\;G(He,x/D)$. This scheme of finding noise sources is shown to be applicable to the cavitation noise from the control valve effectively Two kinds of cavitating modes based on our experimental data are found and discussed.

Simulations of cavitation flow and hull pressure fluctuation for a marine propeller operating behind a hull using the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) are presented. A full hull body submerged under the free surface is modeled in the computational domain to simulate directly the wake field of the ship at the propeller plane. Simulations are performed in design and ballast draught conditions to study the effect of cavitation number. And two propellers with slightly different geometry are simulated to validate the detectability of the numerical simulation. All simulations are performed using a commercial CFD software FLUENT. Cavitation patterns of the simulations show good agreement with the experimental results carried out in Samsung CAvitation Tunnel (SCAT). The simulation results for the hull pressure fluctuation induced by a propeller are also compared with the experimental results showing good agreement in the tendency and amplitude, especially, for the first blade frequency.

Three design parameters were considered in this study: outlet nozzle angle (30°, 60°, 80°), neck length (1 mm, 3 mm), and flow rate (0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 lpm). A neck diameter of 0.5 mm induced cavitation flow at a venture nozzle. A secondary transparent chamber was connected after ejection to increase bubble duration and shape visibility. The bubble size was estimated using a Gaussian kernel function to identify bubbles in the acquired images. Data on bubble size were used to obtain Sauter's mean diameter and probability density function to obtain specific bubble state conditions. The degree of bubble generation according to the bubble size was compared for each design variable. The bubble diameter increased as the flow rate increased. The frequency of bubble generation was highest around 20 ㎛. With the same neck length, the smaller the CV number, the larger the average bubble diameter. It is possible to increase the generation frequency of smaller bubbles by the cavitation method by changing the magnification angle and length of the neck. However, if the flow rate is too large, the average bubble diameter tends to increase, so an appropriate flow rate should be selected.

캐비테이션 기포 (cavitation bubble)가 존재하는 유체 내에서 다중 주파수 (multi-frequency)를 송수신할 때 음파의 감쇠(attenuation)와 음속 (sound speed) 변화가 발생되었고, 이 특징을 이용하여 기포의 크기와 분포량을 추정하였다. 음향실험은 $20{\sim}300\;kHz$ 대역의 다중 주파수를 이용하여 실시하였고, 기포가 존재하는 경우와 존재하지 않는 경우의 주파수별 음속 비와 음파의 감쇠 값을 측정하였다. 캐비테이션 기포는 모터 끝에 장착된 둥근 막대형 블레이드 (blade)를 물 속에서 고속회전시켜 발생되었다. 캐비테이션 기포의 크기 및 분포량은 모터의 회전 속도, 블레이드 끝단 (tip)의 겉넓이를 변화시키며 관측하였고, 기포 생성 후 시간별 기포량 감소율을 측정하였다. 실험 결과 발생된 기포의 크기는 반경 $10{\sim}60{\mu}m$였고, $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$와 $20{\sim}30{\mu}m$ 반경의 기포가 전체의 약 45%와 25%를 차지하였다. 세부실험 결과로 모터의 회전 속도가 증가할수록 더 많은 양의 기포가 발생되지만 블레이드 끝단 면적의 증가와 기포 발생량의 변화는 상관성이 없음을 확인하였다. 또한 기포량의 감소율은 지속시간별로 일정하였고, 2분 이내에 전체량의 80%가 소멸됨을 관측하였다. 음향실험의 결과를 검증하기 위해 동일한 조건에서 광학카메라로 촬영한 기포 분포량과 비교하였다.

In this paper, the cavitating flows around a hydrofoil have been numerically investigated by using a 2-d multi-phase RANS flow solver based on pseudo-compressibility and a homogeneous mixture model on unstructured meshes. For this purpose, a vertex-centered finite-volume method was utilized in conjunction with 2nd-order Roe's FDS to discretize the inviscid fluxes. The viscous fluxes were computed based on central differencing. The Spalart-Allmaras one equation model was employed for the closure of turbulence. A dual-time stepping method and the Gauss-Seidel iteration were used for unsteady time integration. The phase change rate between the liquid and vapor phases was determined by Merkle's cavitation model based on the difference between local and vapor pressure. Steady state calculations were made for the modified NACA66 hydrofoil at several flow conditions. Good agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment for the pressure coefficient on a hydrofoil surface. Additional calculation was made for cloud cavitation around the hydrofoil. The observation of the vapor structure, such as cavity size and shape, was made, and the flow characteristics around the cavity were analyzed. Good agreements were obtained between the present results and the experiment for the frequency and the Strouhal number of cavity oscillation.

The vortex flow behind a bluff body has been a subject of interest for a very long time because of its engineering applicability such as to vortex induced vibration. In the near wake of a bluff body, vortices are periodically shed in two shear layers, which originate in the trailing edges. The far wake is made up of the classical Karman vortices, which are connected together by streamwise and spanwise vortices. These vortex formations have been studied in many experimental and numerical ways. However, most of the studies considered non-cavitating flow. In this study, we investigated cavitating flow in the wake of a two-dimensional wedge. Experiments were conducted in a cavitation tunnel of Chungnam National University. Using a particle image velocimetry (PIV), we measured the velocity fields under two different flow conditions: non-cavitating and cavitating regimes. We also investigated the vortex shedding frequencies using an absolute pressure transducer mounted on the top of the test window. Throughout the experiments, it was found that the shedding frequency of the vortex was strongly affected by cavitation, and the Strouhal number could exceed its value in the non-cavitating regime.

When Francis turbines operate at partial load, residual swirl in the draft tube causes low-frequency pulsation of pressure and power output. Scale effects and system response may bias the prediction of prototype behavior based on laboratory tests, but could be overcome by means of a 1D analytical model. This paper deals with the two most important features of such a model, the compliance and the source of excitation. In a distributed-parameter version, compliance should be represented as an exponential function of local pressure. Lack of similarity due to different Froude number can thus be compensated. The normally unknown gas content in the vortex cavity has significant influence on the pulsation, and should therefore be measured and considered as a test parameter.

Based on the one-dimensional stability analysis, the self-excited oscillation in hydraulic power generating systems was studied by a simple experiment and numerical simulation. It was shown that a cavity in a conical diffuser can cause surge. With the diffuser, a high amplitude and low frequency oscillation occurs at low cavitation number. This oscillation was not observed with the straight pipe. It was confirmed that the diffuser effect of the draft tube can be the cause of the full load surge in hydraulic power system. Numerical results were also analyzed to check the validity of the one-dimensional stability analysis.

본 연구는 초음파를 이용한 토양세척 공정에서 주파수를 결정하고 그 조건에서 공정을 최적화 하기 위한 실험적 접근 방법에 대한 연구이다. 초음파 주파수는 35, 72, 100 kHz를 적용하여 최적 주파수를 결정하였다. 최적 토양 세척 조건을 위한 실험 설계는 $MINITAB^{(R)}$ 프로그램을 이용하였다. 실험은 초음파의 적용, 물리적 교반의 적용, 계면활성제의 적용의 세 가지와 각각의 조합이 적용되었다. 실험 결과 초음파의 최적 주파수는 35 kHz로 확인되었다. 높은 주파수에서 초음파의 공동화 기포 개수가 많아 효과가 좋을 것으로 예상되지만, 낮은 주파수에서 높은 에너지를 가진 공동화 기포가 더 효과적이다고 설명할 수 있다. 그러나, 실제 공정에 적용하기 위해서는 유입되는 에너지에 대한 고려를 해야 한다. 통계적 요인실험설계법에 의해 설계된 실험 결과를 적용한 결과, 초음파와 물리적 교반에 의한 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 실제 공정을 위해서는 이 두 가지 공정에 대한 실내 실험이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 식물에 나타나는 다양한 환경변화를 고려하여, 식물의 상태를 비파괴적인 방법으로 검토하여 식물생장을 제어하기 위한 기초적인 실험을 실시하였다. 건조토양에서 겉씨식물과 속씨식뭍은 물관부에서 발생하는 케비테이션 신호만 검출되었다 증류수를 공급한 직후는 물관부의 강한 신호와 원형질 연락사 및 세포만의 약한 신호가 동시에 검출되었다. 그러나 강산성수를 공급한 경우는 증류수를 공급한 경우와 상반되는 신호가 검출되었다. 바람의 세기, 잎의 수, 음악, 기온 및 습도는 음향 신호 발생 수에는 영향을 끼쳤으나, 검출된 신호의 주파수 범위는 같았다.
