Curved duct channel flow characteristics for non-Newtonian gel fluid is investigated. A simulant gel propellant mixed by Water, Carbopol 941 and NaOH solution has been chosen to analyze the gel propellant flow behavior. Rheological data have been measured prior to the flow analysis where water-gel propellant and water-gel propellant with $Al_2O_3$ nano particles are both used. The critical Dean number examined by the numerical simulation in the U-shape duct flow reveals that although water-gel-nano propellants have higher apparent viscosity, the critical Dean number do show no notable difference for both the two gel propellant. It is found that the power-law index may be a dominant parameter in determining the critical Dean number and that the gel with particles addition may be more vulnerable to Dean instability.

The Present study uses non-Newtonian simulant gel propellant mixed by Water, Carbopol 941, and NaOH solution in order to analyze the gel propellant flow behavior. Rheological data have been measured and obtained prior to the analysis of flow characteristics where water-gel propellant as well as water-gel propellant with $Al_2O_3$ nano particles are both used. The critical Dean number were examined by numerical simulation of gel propellant in the U-shape duct flow. It is found that though gel-nano propellants have higher apparent viscosity, the critical Dean number did not showed notable difference with respect to the water-gel propellant. It is believe that this is due to the fact that the power law index of both propellants have close value, as was demonstrated by Fellouah et al.[1]

We study the page replacement algorithms for demand paging, called CFLRU/C, CFLRU/E and DL-CFLRU/E, that reduce the number of erase operations and improve the wear-leveling degree of flash memory. Under the CFLRU/C and CFLRU/E algorithms, the victim page is the least recently used dean page within the pre-specified window. However, when there is not any dean page within the window, the CFLRU/C evicts the dirty page with the lowest frequency while the CFLRU/E evicts the dirty page with the highest number of erase operations. The DL-CFLRU/E algorithm maintains two page lists called the dean page list and the dirty page list, and first finds the page within the dean page list when it selects a victim. However, when it can not find any dean page within the dean page list, it evicts the dirty page with the highest number of erase operations within the window of the dirty page list. In this thesis, we show through simulation that the proposed schemes reduce the number of erase operations and improve the wear-leveling than the existing schemes like LRU.

Numerical calculations have been carried out for the mixed convection flow in a concentric curved annulus with constant heat flux boundary condition at inner wall. The flow is assumed to be fully developed so as to maintain a constant streamwise pressure and temperature gradient. Computations have been performed for flows of radius ratio 0.2 and 0.5 with the Dean number lying in the range 0$K^{1/2}$ for the wide range of the Dean number considered here.

A three dimensional numerical simulation of laminar flow and heat transfer in fully developed curved pipe flow has been performed to study the effects of Dean number and pipe curvature on the flow and temperature fields under the thermal boundary condition of axially uniform wall heat flux. The Reynolds number under consideration ranges from 100 to 4000, and the Prandtl number is 0.71. The curvature ratios are 0.01, 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1. The axial velocity and temperature profiles and the local Nusselt number obtained from the present study are in good agreement with the previous numerical and experimental results currently available. To show the effects of pipe curvature on the flow and heat transfer, the resistance coefficients and heat transfer coefficients are computed and compared with the results of the previous theoretical and experimental studies. The averaged Nusselt number is correlated with Dean and Prandtl numbers. Furthermore, the critical Reynolds number for transition to turbulent flow is observed to depend upon the curvature ratio.

A numerical model of nonlinear stream function wave theory evolved from Dean's model (1965) is presented. The stream function theory has been evaluated to be an accurate and useful tool for engineering applications. Effects of damping coefficient employed in a linearized simultaneous equation and number of points in the numerical integration of model on numerical solutions are assessed. Most accurate wave characteristics calculated by the present model are tabulated using revised Dean's Table (Chaplin, 1980) input parameters. Since the well-known feature of nearly breaking waves that with increasing wave steepness the wave length as well as integral properties have a maximum prior to the limiting wave height is represented by the model, the accuracy of model can be proved.

The performances of both module sets made by different methods for helical module were compared. All experiments were conducted simultaneously at the same transmembrane pressure and energy cosumption per membrane area. The effects of Dean vortices for reducing concentration polarization and fouling were low for the first module set. The increase of 115% for permeate flux improvement(permeate flux difference ${\times}100$/pemeate flux of linear module) was measured. The second module set was more effective in reducing concentration polarization and fouling.

본 연구에서는 파랑의 변형을 예측하는 방법 중 하나인 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 축대칭 형태의 지형 위를 통과하는 파랑의 소멸파 성분을 검토하였다. 기울기와 곡률이 변하는 지역에 고유함수 전개법을 적용하여 해석할 때 필요한 적절한 구간의 수와 소멸파 성분의 개수를 산정하였다. 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 파랑의 변화를 예측하는 연구는 Bremmer(1951)가 전자기파에 적용하면서 처음 제시한 후 Takano(1960)가 파랑 변형 연구에 적용하면서 본격적으로 진행되었다. 이밖에 Kirby and Dalymple(1983), Liu et al.(1992), Cho and Lee(2000), Bender and Dean(2003), 조용식과 이창훈(1998) 및 강규영 등(2007)에 의해 국내 외로 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 기존의 연구의 대부분이 연직 2차원 지형에 대하여 수행되어 왔다. 3차원 지형에 대한 고유함수전개법은 Bender and Dean(2005)에 의해 처음으로 시작되었다. 그러나 그들의 연구에서는 수렴해를 얻기 위한 구간 및 소멸파 개수에 관한 구체적인 검토가 이루어지지 않았다는 한계가 있다. 그러나 실제 해저 지역은 다양한 지형의 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축대칭 지형에 대하여 수렴해를 얻기 위해 구간을 나누어 해의 수렴성을 확인하여 적절한 구간의 수를 결정한 후 소멸파의 수를 변화시키면서 소멸파가 파랑의 변형에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 천해역 및 중간수심 영역을 구간의 수와 소멸파 성분의 수에 변화를 주면서 수렴성 검사를 한 결과, 천해 영역에서는 소멸파 성분의 영향이 적게 나타났으나 중간수심 영역에서는 적절한 개수의 소멸파를 고려해야 보다 정확한 예측을 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Several numerical models for predicting beach profile changes have been developed by many researchers. Many of the earlier models are known to simulate the erosional profiles with the formation of offshore bar. However, most of the models don't have proper mechanism to incorporate the recovery process of the eroded profiles after a storm and can not simulate the beach accretion with acceptable accuracy. In order to overcome these shortcomings, we propose a new numerical model which has new features to simulate the accretional phase of beach recovery process after storm including such as redistribution of suspended sand particles near the breaking point. The simulation results of the proposed model were compared with LWT (Large Wave Tank) experiments performed at CRIEPI (Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry in Japan) and CE (the Us Army Corps of Engineers) and it was shown to have performed better compared to SBEACH (Storm-induced BEAch CHange).

In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation of transition characteristics in a square-sectional curved duct flow under Centrifugal force is presented. The experimental study is carried out to measure axial velocity profiles by using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) system. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation was performed using the commercial CFD code FLUENT to investigate the transition characteristics. The flow development is found to depend upon Dean number and curvature ratio. The velocity profiles in center of the duct have lower value than those of the inner and outer walls because of the centrifugal forces.
