고분자 용융 같은 물질의 유변학적인 성질은 전단 흐름에서 복잡한 비 뉴톤 유동 현상을 보인다. 이들 유동성질은 유동단위와 유동부분 사이의 상호작용의 특성에 의하여 결정된다. poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel의 비 뉴톤유동 곡선을 cone-plate 레오메타로 여러 온도와 여러 농도 조건에서 얻었다. PVA hydrogel의 유동 곡선을 비 뉴톤 유동식에 적용시켜 유동 파라메타를 얻었다. 유동현상은 전단 속도가 증가함에 따라 전단박화의 틱소트로피 현상을 나타내었다.

Carbon dioxide was absorbed into aqueous polyethylene oxide (PEO) solution containing AMP in a flat-stirred vessel to investigate the effect of non-Newtonian rheological behavior of PEO on the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$, where the reaction between $CO_2$ and AMP was assumed to be a first-order reaction with respect to the molar concentration of $CO_2$ and AMP respectively. The liquid-side mass transfer coefficient, which was obtained from the dimensionless empirical equation containing the properties of viscoelasticity of the non-Newtonian liquid, was used to estimate the enhancement factor due to chemical reaction. PEO with elastic property of non-Newtonian liquid made the rate of chemical absorption of $CO_2$ accelerate compared with Newtonian liquid based on the same viscosity of the solution.

The non-Newtonian viscosities (the specific or intrinsic viscosities) of poly(L-proline) (PLP, $M_v$=19,000 and 32,000) in various mixed-solvent systems like water-propanol and acetic acid-propanol of varying compositions were measured during the reverse mutarotation (Form II ${\rightarrow}$Form I) by the application of external pressure (up to 4.5 psi). The non-Newtonian viscosity effect was found to be larger in acetic acid-propanol system than in water-propanol system and to somewhat decrease during the reverse mutarotation at a given solvent system. The non-Newtonian viscosity behavior of PLP in aqueous salt ($CaCl_2$) solution was also studied, from which it was found that the degree of the non-Newtonian effect decreased with increasing salt concentration, and increased with increasing PLP molecular weight. These findings could be explained in terms of conformational changes of PLP in solution (like the helix-helix or helix-coil transition) involved.

The droplet ejection behavior from drop-on-demand printhead are investigated numerically for Newtonian and shear-thinning fluid. The numerical simulation is performed using a volume-of-fluid model. In this study, we compare the printable range in terms of Z number and pinch-off time for Newtonian and shear-thinning fluids. The printability range are found to be 1.08 $$\leq_-$$ Z $$\leq_-$$ 12.9 for Newtonian fluid and 0.8 $$\leq_-$$ Z $$\leq_-$$ 12.9 for shear-thinning fluid. However, air entrainment is observed during merging of primary and satellite droplet within the printability range. The pinch-off time of the shear-thinning fluid is apparently shorter compared to the corresponding Newtonian fluid due to shear-thinning effects and the differences in the pinch-off time is enlarged significantly when the capillary number is larger than 0.5.

우리나라는 매년 하절기에 급격한 강우로 인해 홍수의 발생빈도가 급격히 높아지고 있다. 이러한 홍수 발생으로 인한 재산 인명의 피해는 연평균 약 2조억원에 달하고 있다. 이러한 홍수 피해를 방지하기 위해 다양한 연구를 하고 있으며 본 연구에서는 홍수 흐름의 정확한 예측을 통해 홍수 피해 저감을 목표로 하고 있다. 기존의 연구에서는 홍수 흐름 예측을 하는데 있어 부정류 상태로 흐르는 홍수량에 따른 범람의 위치와 범위를 산정하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 그러나 홍수의 흐름은 물에 토사가 섞여 흐르는 혼합체의 흐름이기 때문에 홍수위 모의하는데 있어 물성치도 고려되어야 한다. 이러한 물성치 변화에 따라 홍수 흐름도 영향을 받을 것이라 생각하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 Non-Newtonian 특성을 고려하기 위해 Non-Newtonian 흐름과 일반적인 홍수 모의가 가능한 수치모형을 사용하였다. 사전 연구로 일반 사행수로 형태를 구성하고 사행수로에서의 흐름 물질을 달리하여 흐름 모의를 수행하였다. 흐름물질은 크게 물과 토석류로 나뉘고 토석류는 항복응력과 점성 등을 달리하였다. 또한 다양한 유량으로 흐름 모의를 하여 흐름 범람 시의 특징도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 모의 결과 사행수로에서 흐름의 차이를 볼 수 있었으며 다양한 형태로 결과를 분석해 보았다. 흐름의 속도와 수심을 다양한 흐름 단면으로 비교하였고 범람되는 지역의 범위와 위치도 비교해 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 흐름 특성은 사행수로에서 곡률이 있는 부분에서 확실하게 확인할 수 있었으며, 홍수 흐름을 모의할 때 Non-Newtonian 특성과 같이 흐름에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 특성에 대해도 고려해야 한다는 연구 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.

The drop formation dynamics of a shear thinning, elastic, yield stress ($\tau_o$) fluid (Carbopol 980 (poly(acrylic acid)) dispersions) in silicone oil has been investigated in a flow-focusing microfluidic channel. The rheological character of each solution investigated varied from Netwonian-like through to highly non-Newtonian and was varied by changing the degree of neutralization along the poly (acrylic acid) backbone. We have observed that the drop size of these non-Newtonian fluids (regardless of the degree of neutralisation) showed bimodal behaviour. At first we observed increases in drop size with increasing viscosity ratio (viscosity ratio=viscosity of dispersed phase (DP)/viscosity of continuous phase (CP)) at low flowrates of the continuous phases, and thereafter, decreasing drop sizes as the flow rate of the CP increases past a critical value. Only at the onset of pinching and during the high extensional deformation during pinch-off of a drop are any differences in the non-Newtonian characteristics of these fluids, that is extents of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress ($\tau_o$), apparent. Changes in these break-off dynamics resulted in the observed differences in the number and size distribution of secondary drops during pinch-off for both fluid classes, Newtonian-like and non-Newtonian fluids. In the case of the Newtonian-like drops, a secondary drop was generated by the onset of necking and breakup at both ends of the filament, akin to end-pinching behavior. This pinch-off behavior was observed to be unaffected by changes in viscosity ratio, over the range explored. Meanwhile, in the case of the non-Newtonian solutions, discrete differences in behaviour were observed, believed to be attributable to each of the non-Newtonian properties of shear thinning, elasticity and yield stress. The presence of a yield stress ($\tau_o$), when coupled with slow flow rates or low viscosities of the CP, reduced the drop size compared to the Newtonian-like Carbopol dispersions of much lower viscosity. The presence of shear thinning resulted in a rapid necking event post onset, a decrease in primary droplet size and, in some cases, an increase in the rate of drop production. The presence of elasticity during the extensional flow imposed by the necking event allowed for the extended maintenance of the filament, as observed previously for dilute solutions of linear polymers during drop break-up.

The importance of shear thinning non-Newtonian blood rheology on the hemodynamic characteristics of idealized cerebral saccular aneurysms were investigated by carrying out CFD simulations assuming two different non-Newtonian rheology models (Carreau and Ballyk models). To explore effects of vessel curvature, a straight and a curved vessel geometry were considered. The wall shear stress(WSS), relative residence time(RRT) and velocity distribution were compared at the different phases of cardiac cycle. As expected, blood entered the aneurysm at the distal neck and created large vortex in both aneurysms, but with higher momentum on the curved vessel. Hemodynamic characteristics such as WSS, and RRT exhibited only minor effects by choice of different rheological models although Ballyk model produced relatively higher effects. We conclude that the assumption of Newtonian fluid is reasonable for studies aimed at quantifying the hemodynamic characteristics, in particular, WSS-based parameters, considering the current accuracy level of medical image of cerebral aneurysm.

The laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer of anisotropic fluids in the vicinity of a wedge have been examined with constant surface temperature. The similarity variables found by Falkner and Skan are employed to reduce the stream wise-dependence in the coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations. The numerical solutions are presented using the fourth-order Runge - Kutta method and the distribution of velocity, micro-rotation, shear and couple stresses and temperature across the boundary layer are plotted. These results are also compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid over wedges. It is found that for a constant wedge angle, the skin friction coefficient is lower for micropolar fluid, as compared to Newtonian fluid. For the case of the constant material parameter K, however, the magnitude of velocity for anisotropic fluid is greater than that of Newtonian fluid. The numerical results also show that for a constant wedge angle with a given Prandtl number, Pr = I, the effect of increasing values of K results in increasing thermal boundary layer thickness for anisotropic fluid, as compared with Newtonian fluid. For the case of the constant material parameter K, however, the heat transfer rate for anisotropic fluid is lower than that of Newtonian fluid.

Experimental and numerical studies for three-dimensional pulsatile flows are conducted to investigate the flow characteristics in the bifurcated tubes. Velocity measurements in experimental study were made by both Pulsed Doppler Ultrasound(PDU) machine and Laser Doppler Anemometer(LDA) system. Glycerin is used for experimental study. Experimental results are used to verify the results of the numerical simulation. Flow characteristics of Newtonian fluid and blood in the bifurcated tubes under the steady and pulsatlie flows are numerically investigated. Finite volume method is employed for three-dimensional numerical simulations. Blood is considered as a non-Newtonian fluid and the constitutive equation of blood is used for the numerical analysis. Numerical analyses are focused on the flow patterns for various branch angles ranging from 30.deg. to 90.deg. and diameter ratios such as 1.0, 0.8, and 0.6. Pulsatile flow characteristics of blood are compared with those of Newtonian fluid. Parameter effects on axial velocity, pressure and wall shear stress distribution along the bifurcated tubes are discussed in terms of the branch angle, diameter ratio, and Reynolds number.
