A 3-dimensional numerical investigation of a WIG effect vehicle with DUP (direct underside pressurization) is performed to predict aerodynamic characteristics and the static height stability. DUP can considerably reduce take-off speed and minimize the hump drag while the vehicle accelerates on the water to take off. The DUP of the model vehicle, Aircat, consists of a propeller in the middle of the fuselage and an air chamber under the fuselage. The air accelerated by the propeller comes into the camber through the channel in the middle of fuselage and augments lift by changing its dynamic pressure to static pressure dramatically. However, the air accelerated by a propeller produces excessive drag and reduces static height stability.

Shipwaves am have harmful effects on ships working on the sea, in a harbour or navigational channel and caused beach erosion, seawall destruction. This study aims to investigate describe the characteristics of the wave pattern generated by an individual model ship tested at different velocities and hull forms for a given water depth and to investigate the variations at a given distance from the sailing line under the same conditions. As a result, the angles a's by model ship tests are smaller than those by real ship ones. Wave heights decreases with an increasing the mid-ship cross sectional area $A_s$. The maximum wave height and period increase rapidly in the subcritical speed, and beyond the critical speed the height and period decrease with increasing depth Froude number. And the period keeps constant with the distance from the sailing line.

In this paper, an epsilon near zero (ENZ) tunneling circuit using a double-ridge rectangular waveguide (RWG) is proposed for the miniaturization of a waveguide component. The proposed ENZ channel and is located in the middle of the input-output RWG (IORWG). The ratio of the height to the width of the channel waveguide is very small compared to the IORWG. By properly adjusting the ridge dimensions, the tunneling frequency of the proposed ENZ channel can be lowered to near the cut-off frequency of the IORWG. For the proposed ENZ tunneling circuit, the approach adopted for extracting the effective permittivity, effective permeability;normalized effective wave impedance, and propagation constant from the simulated scattering parameters was explained. The extracted parameters verified that the proposed channel is an ENZ channel and electromagnetic energy is tunneling through the channel. Simulation and measurement results of the fabricated ENZ channel structure agreed.

In this paper, drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) has been analyzed as one of short channel effects occurred in double gate(DG) MOSFET. The DIBL is very important short channel effects as phenomenon that barrier height becomes lower since drain voltage influences on potential barrier of source in short channel. The analytical potential distribution of Poisson equation, validated in previous papers, has been used to analyze DIBL. Since Gaussian function been used as carrier distribution for solving Poisson's equation to obtain analytical solution of potential distribution, we expect our results using this model agree with experimental results. The change of DIBL has been investigated for device parameters such as channel thickness, oxide thickness and channel doping concentration.

Experimental investigations of the heat transfer and friction factors in the ribbed divergent rectangular channel with the channel exit hydraulic diameter to inlet hydraulic diameter ratio of 1.16 were performed. The surface heaters were mounted onto the two opposite walls. The main experimental parameter is the ratio of rib pitch (p) to height (e), at which the ratios (p/e) of 6, 10, and 14 are considered in the channel with ribs on one wall only. The straight ribbed square channel is also considered as a comparison. The major findings are that the ratio of p/e = 6 shows the highest values in the heat transfer and the ratio of p/e = 10 indicates the greatest friction factor in the ribbed divergent channel. Editor's note:No major changes or corrections needed. Well written.

Hollow Fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF-FlFFF) has been tested in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane channel in order to compare it with polysulfone (PSf) membrane channel. It has been experimentally shown that the separation time of 0.05-0.304 ${mu}m$ polystyrene latex (PSL) standards in PAN membrane channel is shorter than that in PSf channel by approximately 65%. The optimized separation condition in PAN membrane is ${\dot V}_{out}/{\dot V}_{rad}=1.4/0.12\;mL/min$, which is equal to the condition in PSf membrane channel. In addition both the resolution ($R_s$) and plate height (H) in PAN membrane channel are better than that in PSf membrane channel. The membrane radius was obtained by back calculation with retention time. It shows that the PSf membrane is expanded by swelling and pressure, but the PAN membrane doesn't expand by swelling and pressure.

For practical calculations, the Reynolds equation is frequently used to analyze the lubricating flow. The full Navier-Stokes Equations are used to find validity limits of Reynolds equation in a lubricating flow regime by result comparison. As the amplitude of wavy upper wall increased at a given average channel height, the difference between Navier-Stokes and lubrication theory decreased slightly : however, as the minimum distance in channel throat increased, the differences in the maximum pressure between Navier-Stokes and lubrication theory became large.

Numerical study on the advection in a microchannel with multi blocks has been performed. the microchannel is simulated three-dimensionally using a commercial fluid analysis code, FLUENT 6.0. Geometric factors of blocks are used in analysing the mixing effect. the numerical results show that the height of blocks in the channel is a key factor. Further study is required to investigate mixing effect of the microchamel with various shapes.

A mathematical model of the hydrodynamic and heat transfer performances of two-phase flow (gas-liquid) in thin film region of micro channel is proposed. For the formulation of modeling, the flow of the vapor phase and the shear stress at the liquid-vapor interface are considered. In this work, disjoining pressure and capillary force which drive the liquid flow at the liquid-vapor interface in thin film region are adopted also. Using the model, the effects of the variations of channel height and heat flux on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. Results show that the influence of variation of vapor pressure on the liquid film flow is not negligible. The heat flux in thin-film region is the most important operation factor of micro cooler system.

Micro-channels for a wave micropump have been fabricated using the Stereolithography and UV Photolithography. The micro-channel with a channel height of $500\;{\mu}m$ was fabricated with stereolithography. UV photolithography was used for producing micro-channels with a channel length less than $100\;{\mu}m$. The fabrication process data including spinning rpm, pre-bake and post-bake time, and develop time for single layer and multiple layer 3D micro-structures using SU-8 photo resist are experimentally found. A film mask printed with a 40,000 dpi laser printer was used for UV lithography and micro-structures in the order of tens of micrometers in dimension were successfully fabricated.
