The cavitating flow simulation is of practical importance for many engineering systems, such as marine propellers, pump impellers, nozzles, injectors, torpedoes, etc. The present work has developed a base code for simulating cavitating flows past cylinders and hydrofoils. The governing equation is the Navier-Stokes equation based on homogeneous mixture model. The momentum and energy equation is in the mixture phase while the continuity equation is solved in liquid and vapor phase, separately. The solver employs an implicit preconditioning algorithm in curvilinear coordinates. The computations have been carried out for the cylinders with spherical, 1- and 0-caliber forebody and hydrofoil of ALE and NACA cross-section and, then, compared with experiments and other numerical results. Fairly good agreements with experiments and numerical results have been achieved. The present base code has shown the feasibility to solve the cavitating flow past supercavitating torpedo after the improvement for compressibility effects and interactions with hot exhaust gas of propulsive rocket.

With the tendency toward high speed and high pressure in centrifugal pumps, the problem of sub-synchronous vibration has arisen, caused by the hydraulic forces of the working fluid, such as wearring, balance piston, impeller, etc.. These forces can drastically alter the rotor critical speeds and stability characteristics, and can be acted significant destabilizing forces. For preventing such self-excited vibration, the desing of the rotor system needs, which would secure the stability of the machine. In this paper, a procedure is presented for dynamic modeling of rotor-bearing-seal-impeller systems which consist of rigid disks, distributed parameter finite rotor elements and discrete bearings, seals and impellers. A finite element model including the effects of rotatory inertia and gyroscopic moments is developed using the consistent matrix approach. The technique of dynamic matrix reduction is applied to the shaft matrices to reduce them to a set of matrices of dynamic of significantly fewer degrees of freedom. The representation of bearing, seal and impeller elements is in term of linearized stiffness and damping matrices by reasonably small perturbations from equilibrium. The stability behavior of a typical double suction centrifugal pump is presented. Results show the influence of clearance and flow conditions on running speeds and stability characteristics.

When we inject drugstuffs to a patient for a long time, it is important to control proper injection amount and flow rate. Since inproper injection amount and a flow rate would cause bad a recovery a patient, the relience of sensors which detect injection amount is an important factor for whole injection systems' performance. In this research, we've compared the suitability of three sensors for injection pump monitoring system. The three types of sensors, piezo film sensor, photo transistor made up with three transmitting photodiodes and receving photodiode, and photo array, were selected for comparing. Using suggested data processing technique and photo amy sensors, we could minimize the effect of interference, disturbance, illumanation change, and sensitivity change caused by sensor's position. According to the experiments, the photo amy showed the higher reliance than any other the three types of sensors. The developed systems could be the foundation of beginning home production of infusion pump system and available for the base model of whole monitoring and control systems.

The modified in-line mixer which was suggested in this study for small water treatment facilities was evaluated on the performance of coagulation. For the objectives of this research, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulation was applied for analysis of flow characteristics within the modified in-line mixer. For verifying the results of CFD simulation, wet tests for the pilot plant were conducted. The wet test was to measure the actual coagulant dispersion distribution on the overall cross-section at a distance of 5.5D from the chemical injection point. From the results of CFD simulation and wet test, it was shown that the coagulant dispersion within the modified in-line mixer was occurred more uniformly than within the existing PDM(Pump diffusion Mixer). The results have confirmed the modified in-line mixer had several advantages compared with the existing PDM in terms of dispersion efficiency.

The mixing of water and chemicals is an important process in the water purification plant. In this paper, we compare PDM(pump diffusion mixer) and hydraulic mixer at the basin in the mixing process. The proper flow rates are predicted and compared in both mixers using CFD technique. As a result, the flow rate of purifier chemical liquid should be 5% of that of water for the optimal performance of mixing process. The characteristics of the two mixing methods are compared with each other for strong and weak points on the operation of the purification system, discussed in the view point of CFD simulations.

In order to investigate flow characteristics of blood flow in a micro tube ($100{\mu}m$ in diameter) according to hematocrit, in-vitro experiments were carried out using a micro-PIV technique. The micro-PIV system consists of a microscope, a 2 head Nd:YAG laser, a 12 bit cooled CCD camera and a delay generator. Blood was supplied into the micro tube using a syringe pump. Hematocrit of blood was controlled to be 20%, 30% and 40%. The blood flow has a cell free layer near the tube wall and its thickness was changed with increasing the flow rate and hematocrit. The hemorheological characteristics such as shear rate and viscosity were evaluated using the velocity field data measured. As the flow rate increased, the blunt velocity profile in the tube center was sharpened. The viscosity of blood was rapidly increased with decreasing shear rate, especially in the region of low shear rate, changing RBC rheological properties. The variation of velocity profile and blood viscosity shows typical characteristics of Non-Newtonian fluids. On the basis of inflection points, the cell free layer and two-phase flow consisting of plasma and suspensions including RBCs were clearly discriminated.

Viscous-driven pumping is a very promising type in microscale applications. However, there exist a few disadvantages such as low efficiency and small volume flow rate. In the present study, a pump with tandem rotating cylinders and its optimum synthesis are proposed fur enhancing pumping performance. First, using an unstructured grid CFD method, we investigate the effects of geometrical parameters and then the performance of the pump with tandem cylinders is evaluated. Next, an optimum design synthesis tool is constructed by combining the aforementioned CFD analysis model with the mathematical optimization model, namely, Modified Method of Feasible Directions (MMFD). This technique is used to optimize the geometrical parameters of the pump, fur maximizing pumping efficiency. From the optimization results, it is believed that the present optimum synthesis is robust and has a potential fur other microfluidic device design.

디젤 분사시스템의 고압펌프는 저압으로 공급된 연료를 압축하여 고압 연료로 만들고 엔진 작동조건에 따라 커먼레일의 연료를 요구되는 압력수준으로 유지한다. 고압펌프는 차량의 전체 수명기간 동안 연료를 2000 bar에 달하는 고압으로 압축하여 원활히 동작해야 하므로 설계기술, 재료의 내구성, 고도의 가공정밀도가 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 1-플런저 레이디얼 피스톤 펌프 형태의 고압펌프에 대한 시뮬레이션 모델을 상용 소프트웨어인 AMESimpp의 서브 모델들을 이용하여 개발하고, 고압펌프의 동작특성을 살펴보기 위해 시뮬레이션을 실시한다. 주요한 시뮬레이션 내용들은 입구 및 출구 밸브의 변위, 유량, 압력 특성, 캠의 토크 특성, 그리고 연료 미터링밸브의 압력 제어 특성과 오버플로밸브의 동작 특성이다. 또한 입구 밸브의 구멍지름과 스프링 초기력 등의 파라미터 변화에 따른 입구 및 출구 밸브의 유량과 커먼레일 압력 등의 고압펌프의 동작 특성과 응답 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검토한다. 이를 통해서 개발된 펌프 모델의 동작이 논리적으로 타당함을 제시하고, 고압펌프를 설계변경하거나 개발초기에 설계변수들의 설정과 튜닝에 활용할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안한다.

The flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro-tube with a $100{\mu}m$ diameter are investigated using a micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit is supplied into the micro-tube using a syringe pump. For comparison, the same experiments are repeated for human blood with 40% hematocrit. Chicken blood flow has a cell-free layer near the tube wall, and this layer's thickness increases with the increased flow speed due to radial migration. As a hemorheological feature, the aggregation index of chicken blood is about 50% less than that of human blood. Therefore, the non-Newtonian fluid features of chicken blood are not very remarkable compared with those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the blunt velocity profile in the central region of the micro-tube sharpens, and the parabolicshaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. The viscosity of both blood samples in a low shear rate condition is overestimated, while the viscosity in a high shear rate range is underestimated due to radial migration and the presence of a cell-depleted layer.
