In hydraulic machinery, the hydraulic fluid acts primarily as working fluid and secondarily as a lubricant. Hence, the viscous friction force acting on the sliding components should be reduced to improve the mechanical efficiency. It is now well known that the surface texturing is a useful method for friction reduction. In this study, using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT, the lubrication characteristics of a surface textured slider bearing under high boundary pressure difference is studied. The streamlines, velocity profiles, pressure distributions, load capacity, friction force and leakage flowrate are highly affected by the film thickness ratio and the textured region. Partial texturing at the inlet region of the inclined slider bearing can reduce both friction force and leakage flowrate than in the untextured case. The present results can be used to improve the lubrication characteristics of hydraulic machinery.

We consider some numerical solution methods for equilibrium equations Af + E$^{T}$ λ = r, Ef = s. Algebraic problems of this form evolve from many applications such as structural optimization, fluid flow, and circuits. An important approach, called the force method, to the solution to such problems involves dimension reduction nullspace computation for E. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the substructuring method for the solution step of the force method in the context of the incompressible fluid flow. We also suggests some iterative methods based upon substructuring scheme..

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method has been used to investigate the axial force of automotive water pump. As the excessive axial force can make some unexpected problems like impeller interference and coolant leakage we have focused on finding the cause of axial force and its reduction in this paper. First, we have tested the closed type water pump with and without balance hole by the calculation methods. By examining the pressure contour around the impeller, we have found that the axial force arises not only from the pressure difference around shroud but also from the pressure difference around hub. So we have tested two impellers - one is normal open type impeller and the other is open type impeller with modified hub. The results show that the axial force reduction is about 150~200N for normal one and 700N@3000RPM for modified impeller. And the hydraulic efficiency which is important in aspect of engine fuel efficiency is reduced about 6.5% for normal one but increased 4%@3000RPM for modified impeller.

The objective of this study was to compare micro-scale friction coefficients with and without synovial fluid, and micro-scale measurements were performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a $5{\mu}m$ spherical probe. Four cylindrical cartilage specimens were harvested from two fresh bovine humeral heads (4-6 months old). $Average{\pm}standard$ deviation values of the micro-scale AFM frictional coefficients calculated from the liner fit of friction versus normal force was $0.177{\pm}0.012$ and $0.130{\pm}0.010$ with and without synovial fluid coating on AFM probe respectively, showing its reduction by ${\sim}27%$ with synovial fluid. To the best of our knowledge, this experimental study investigates the first such comparisons of frictional response of articular cartilage with and without synovial fluid coating on AFM probe, and provides significant insights into the role of synovial fluid in the articular cartilage friction and lubrication independently of the confounding effect of fluid pressurization in the articular cartilage.

The drag reduction is the phenomenon that occurs only when the shear stress from the wall of pipe is beyond the critical point. The drag reduction increase as the molecular weight, concentration of the polymer and Reynolds number increase, but it is limited by Virk's maximum drag reduction asymptote. Because of the strong shear force for the polymer on the turbulent flow, the molecular weight and the drag reduction do not decrease. Such mechanical degradation of the polymer occurs in all polymer solvent systems. This paper is to identify and develop high performance polymer additives for fluid transportations with the benefits of turbulent drag reduction. In addition, drag reduction in vertical flow by measuring the pressure drop and local void fraction on vertical-up flow of close system is evaluated.

본 연구는 상류측에 작은 삼각주를 가진 정방형주의 유체력 저감 특성을 양 항력 측정 실험으로 파악한 것이다. 실험파라메터는 정방형주 한 변의 길이에 대한 삼각주의 폭비(H/B=0.2~0.6) 및 정방형주 전면에서부터 삼각주까지의 거리 (G/B=0~3) 로 했다. 삼각주의 폭비를 고정시킨 경우 정방형주의 항력감소율은 간격비가 증가할수록 증가하다 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 같은 간격비에서는 삼각주의 폭비가 클수록 정방형주의 항력감소율이 증가했으며, 폭비 H/B=0.6, 간격비 G/B=1.5일 때 최대 78.5%의 항력감소율을 보였다. 정방형주의 양력감소율은 수직평판의 폭비 및 간격비에 거의 영향을 받지 않았으며, 양력감소율의 평균치는 52.4% 정도였다.

Fundamental studies on the drag reduction of the circular cylinder having dimple were conducted by the measurement of the fluid force acting on the cylinder and by the flow visualization around the cylinder. The drag coefficients were changed by the shape and the geometrical arrangement of the dimple. The drag of the cylinder was reduced about 25% by the proper arrangement of the dimple. The flow field around the cylinder having dimple, which was the minimum drag, was visualized by the hydrogen bubble technique. In this case, the separation points were moved rearward and the wake region was small in comparison with that of the cylinder having no dimple.

Fundamental studies on the drag reduction of the circular cylinder having dimple were conducted by the measurement of the fluid force acting on the cylinder and by the flow visualization around the cylinder. The drag coefficients were changed by the shape and the space for the arrangement of the dimple. The drag of the cylinder was reduced about 50% by the proper arrangement of the dimple. The flowfield around the cylinder having dimple, which was the minimum drag, was visualized by the hydrogen bubble technique. In this case, the separation points were moved rearward and the wake region was small in comparison with the cylinder having no dimple.

The following paper outlines the strange juncture of scientific principles and artistic expression by showing how studies of water force and dynamics of pipes can influence or inspire contemporary fine art. The radial force exerted by the internal viscous fluid is calculated using the Navier-Stokes equation. This work ascertains the fluid mechanics and structural behavior that pipes undergo due to water forces and can be translated into the medium of painting and sculpture. This paper will analyze the dynamic interactions between water and pipes reinforced with nanoparticles, while at the same time searching for new forms of representation concerning motion, flux, and structure within art. Results indicate that an increase in nanoparticle content leads to a reduction in transient deflection. The work includes case studies of artworks that incorporate these scientific aspects and also provides a theoretical framework to understand how technical phenomena can be transformed into visual and conceptual forms in art.

The fluid force reduction of a square prism having fences on the corner was studied by the measuring the drag and lift acting on the prism and by the visualization experiment of the flow around the prism. The height of the fence was 10% of the square width and the range of Reynolds number considered was from $Re=0.9{\times}104$ to $Re=2.1{\times}104$. The drag of the prism was reduced about 6.8% and the amplitude of the lift was reduced by attaching two normal fences on the rear corners of the prism. In this case, the separated flow at the front corners was reattached on the upper and lower sides of the prism and the vortex streets at the wake region were appeared more slowly than that of the prototype prism.
