The objective of present paper is to apply a stereoscopic PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) techiique for measuring the 3 dimensional flow structure of turbulent wake behind a marine propeller with 5 blades. It is essential to measure 3-components velocity fields for the investigation of complicated near-wake behind the propeller. The out-of-plane velocity component was measured using the particle images captured by two CCD cameras in the angular displacement configuration.400 instantaneous velocity fields were measured for each of few different blade phases of $0^{\circ},\;18^{\circ},\;36^{\circ}\;and\;54^{\circ}$. They were ensemble averaged to investigate the spatial evolution of the propeller wake in the region ranged from the trailing edge to the region of one propeller diameter(D) downstream. The phase-averaged velocity fields show the viscous wake formed by the boundary layers developed along the blade surfaces. Tip vortices were formed periodically and the slipstream contraction occurs in the near-wake region. The out-of-plane velocity component has large values at the tip and trailing votices. With going downstream, the axial turbulence intensity and the strength of tip vortices were decreased due to the visous dissipation, turbulence diffusion and blade-to-blade interaction. The blade wake traveling at higher speed with respect to the tip vortex overtakes and interacts with tip vortices formed from the previous blade. Tip vortices are separated from the wake and show oscillating trajectory

A process of 3-D particle image velocimetry, called here, as '3-D stereo PIV' was developed for the measurement of an illuminated slied section field of 3-D complex flows. The present method includes modeling of camera by a calibrator based on the homogeneous coordinate system, transfromation of the oblique-angled image to the right-angled image, identification of 2-D velocity vectors by 2-D cross-correlation equation, stereo matching of 2-D velocity vectors of two cameras, accurate calculation of 3-D velocity vectors by homogeneous coordinate system, removal of error vectors by a statistical method followed by a continuity equation criterior, and finally 3-D animation as the post processing. An experimental system was also used for the application of the proposed method. Three analog CCD cameras and an Argon-Ion Laser(300mW) for illumination were adopted to capture the wake flow behind a bluff obstacle.

The objective of this study is a qualitative comparison between line-integrated OH chemiluminescence ($OH{\ast}$) image and its Abel inversion image at different phase of the oscillating pressure field. PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) measurements were conducted under non-reacting conditions to see the global flow structure. Also NOx emission was measured to investigate the effect of fuel-air premixing on combustion instability and emission characteristics. Experiments were carried out in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory-scale dump combustor operating on natural gas. Combustion instabilities in present study exhibited a longitudinal mode with a dominant frequency of ${\sim}341.8$ Hz, which corresponded to a quarter wave mode of combustor. Heat release and pressure waves were in-phase when instability occurred. Results gave an insight about the location where the strong coherence of pressure and heat release existed. Also an additional information on active control to suppress the combustion instabilities was obtained. For lean premixed combustion, strong correlation between $OH{\ast}$ and NOx emissions was expected largely due to the exponential dependence of thermal NOx mechanism on flame temperature.

Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to identify the wake characteristics downstream of two vane-type vortex generators over laminar flat plate boundary layer. Experimental study was carried out by using the stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. To describe the flow field around the vortex generator in detail, numerical study was performed. We considered two different planform shapes of vortex generator: triangular and rectangular shape. The height of the generator was chosen to be about the boundary layer thickness at the position of its installation. Two different lengths of the generator were chosen: two and five times the height. Wake measurements were carried out at three angles of attack for each configuration. Wake characteristics for each case such as overall vortical structure, vorticity distribution, and location of vortex center with downstream distance were obtained from the PIV data. Wake characteristics, as expected, were found to vary strongly with the geometry and angle of attack so that no general tendency could be deduced. Causes of this irregular tendency were explained by using the results of the numerical simulation.

For the measurement of biophysical properties related with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), various microfluidic devices were proposed. However, many devices were monitored by optical equipment. Ultrasound measurement to quantify the biophysical properties can provide new insights to understand the cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to check feasibility of microfluidic device for ultrasound image analysis based on 3D printer. To facilitate acoustic transmission, agarose solution is poured around 3D mold connected with holes of the acrylic box. By applying speckle image velocimetry(SIV) technique, flow information in the bifurcated channel was estimated. Considering that ultrasound signal amplitude is determined by red blood cell (RBC) aggregation, RBC aggregation in the bifurcated channel can be estimated through the analysis of ultrasound signal. As examples of microfluidic device which mimic the CVD model, velocity fields in microfluidic devices with stenosis and aneurysm were introduced.

The curvature of wound boundaries has been identified as a key modulator that determines a type of force responsible for cell migration. While several studies report how certain curvatures of the boundary correlate with the rate at which the wound closes, it remains unclear how these curvatures are spatiotemporally formed to regulate the healing process. We investigated the dynamic changes in the boundary curvatures by visualizing cell migration patterns. Locally, cells at the convex boundary continuously move forward with transmitting kinetic responses behind to the cells away from the boundary, and cells at the concave boundary exhibit dramatic contracting motion, like a purse-string, when they accumulate enough negative curvatures to gain the thrust toward the void. Globally, the dynamics of boundary geometries are controlled by the diffusive flow of cells driven by the density gradient between the wound area and the cell layer.

The objective of this study is to analyse the spray characteristics according to the injection duration under the ambient pressure condition, and the injection timing in the visualization engine. In order to investigate the spray behavior, we obtained the spray velocity using the PIV method that has been an useful optical diagnostics technology, and calculated the vorticity from spray velocity component. These results elucidated the relationship between vorticity and entropy which play an important role in the diffusion process for the early injection case and the stratification process for the late injection case. In addition, we quantified the homogeneous diffusion rate of spray using the entropy analysis based on the Boltzmann's statistical thermodynamics. Using these method, it was found that the concentration of spray droplets caused by the increase of injection duration is more effective than the increase of momentum dissipation. We also found that the homogeneous diffusion rate increased as the injection timing moved to the early intake stroke process and BTDC $50^{\circ}$ was the most efficient injection timing for the stratified mixture formation during the compression stroke.

Contrary to the conventional single-point measuring devices such as LDV, pitot-tube, hot-wire, etc., it would be possible to measure instantaneously 3-D flow fields with a stereoscopic PIV system. In this paper, we present an analysis algorithm for a stereoscopic PIV system using the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) and a 3-D calibration based reconstruction method. The evaluation method based on NCC is one of the most accurate correlation-based methods. We validated the developed algorithm through a benchmarking comparison with 3-D artificial SPIV images and calibration target images.

하천의 정밀한 유량관측은 수자원의 확보 및 효율적인 관리에 가장 기본적으로 수행되어야 하며 하천유량측정에 사용되는 기존의 방법으로는 유속계를 이용하여 평수기 때의 유속을 관측하는 방법과 홍수기시에 봉부자를 이용한 관측방법이 널리 이용되어 왔다. 하지만 기존의 관측방법은 경제성 및 효율성면에서 뒤떨어지기 때문에 새로운 측정방법을 개발하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 한국수자원공사에서 개발된 전자파표면유속계를 이용하여 홍수유량을 관측하는 방법과 영상처리기술을 이용하여 관측하는 방법들이 다양하게 이용되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계(SIV, Surface Image Velocimertry)를 이용하여 유량을 관측하였으며 동시에 전자파표면 유속계를 이용하여 관측된 값과 비교 분석하였다. 표면영상유속계(SIV, Surface Image Velocimertry)는 동영상 카메라를 이용하여 강이나 하천의 표면 유동을 촬영하고, 영상을 초당 30프레임으로 분석하여 변위를 구한다음 영상들의 시간 간격을 이용하여 최종적으로 표면 유속을 구하는 방법이다. 여기에 표면 유속과 평균 유속의 관계(노영신, 2005)를 이용하고, 하천 횡단면을 적용하여 유량을 산정하는 기법이다. SIV 기법을 이용하여 제주도 한천유역에 적용하여 전자파표면유속계의 관측 값과 비교한 결과 2~3m/s의 유속 분포를 보이고 있으며 통상적으로 관측된 홍수 유출시의 유속과 근사한 값을 보이고 있다. 향후 다양한 유출 사상에 대하여 SIV 기법을 적용하여 검증하고 동시에 다양한 유량 관측 기법과 비교 검토한다면 제주도의 체계적인 유량 관측 기술을 확립할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 도시지역의 불투수율 증가로 인한 유역의 도달시간 감소와 첨두유출량이 증가함에 따라 내수침수 잠제 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 이에 우수배제 시스템의 수방능력 향상을 위한 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에는 건설부지 확보의 문제와 비용적인 문제 등의 현실적인 현계들이 있다. 따라서 기존에 설치되어 있는 빗물펌프장의 배수효율을 증대시킬 수 있다면 빗물펌프장의 신설 및 증설에 따른 과도한 예산지출을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 빗물펌프장의 배수효율은 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 얼마나 잘 제어하느냐에 따라 크게 달라진다. 만약 흡입부 내에 강한 와류가 존재한다면, 흡입관 주위에서 선회류를 유발시켜 펌프 효율을 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 따라서 펌프 운영 시 흡입부 내에서 발생하는 와류를 제어하기 위하여 와류발생 저감장치(Anti Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류를 제어하는 방법을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 국 내외 빗물펌프장 설계기준에서 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 정량적인 효과는 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry)를 이용하여 와류발생 저감장치가 펌프 흡수조에 설치되었을 때 흐름특성 및 와도분포 분석을 통해 와류발생 저감장치의 형태에 따른 효과를 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 그 결과 와류발생 저감장치를 설치 한 후 흐름개선효과를 확인하였다.
