Slot coating process, in continuous and patch modes, has been applied for the many precise coating products, e.g., flat panel displays and second batteries. However, manufacturing uniform coating products is not a trivial task at high-speed operations because various flow instabilities or defects such as leaking, bubbles, ribbing, and rivulets are frequently observed in this process. It is no wonder, therefore, that many efforts to understand the various aspects of dynamics and coating windows of this process have been made both in academia and industry. In this study, as the first topic, flow dynamics within the coating bead in slot coating process has been investigated using the one-dimensional viscocapillary model by lubrication approximation and two-dimensional model by Flow-3D software. Especially, operability windows in both 1D and 2D cases with various slot die lip designs have been successfully portrayed. Also, effects of process conditions like viscosity and coating gap size on slot coating window have been analyzed. Also, some experiments to find minimum coating thickness and coating windows have been conducted using slot die coater implemented with flow visualization device, corroborating the numerical results. As the second topic, flow dynamics of both Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids in patch or pattern slot coating process, which is employed in manufacturing IT products such as secondary batteries, has been investigated for the purpose of optimal process designs. As a matter of fact, the flow control in this system is more difficult than in continuous case because od its transient or time-dependent nature. The internal die and die lip designs for patterned uniform coating products have been obtained by controlling flow behaviors of coating liquids issuing from slot. Numerical simulations have been performed using Fluent and Flow-3D packages. Flow behavior and pressure distribution inside the slot die has been compared with various die internal shapes and geometries. In the coating bead region, efforts to reduce irregular coating defects in head and tail parts of one patterned coating unit have been tried by changing die lip shapes. It has been concluded that optimal die internal design gas been developed, guaranteeing uniform velocity distribution of both Newtonian and shear thinning fluids at the die exit. And also optimal die lip design has been established, providing the longer uniform coating layer thickness within one coating unit.

기-액 2상유동장에서 유동양식은 압력강하, 보이드율분포, 유동장의 기하학적 형상과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 한편 원유수송, 비등이 발생하는 유동, 펌프에서 발생하는 케비테션 현상, 그리고 화학 반응로와 같은 상변화 장치 등의 2상유동에서 고분자물질에 의한 저항감소 현상의 적용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 2상유동장에서 고분자물질에 의한 저항감소에 관한 연구는 매우 미비하다. 그래서 본 연구는 2상유동장에 합성고분자물질(A611p)에 의한 저항감 소율을 실험을 통하여 계측 및 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 고분자물질의 농도를 증가시킬수록 국부보이드율의 최고치가 관의 중심에서 관의 벽쪽으로 이동하며 2상유동의 유동양식이 변화됨을 규명하였다. 그래서 저항감소율과 유동양식과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 예측할 수 있었다.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are capable of changing their rheological properties under the application of external fields. When MR fluids operate in the so-called squeeze mode, in which displacement levels are limited to a few millimetres but there are large forces, they have many potential applications in vibration isolation. This paper presents an experimental and a numerical investigation of the performance of an MR fluid under tensile and compressive loads and oscillatory squeeze-flow. The performance of the fluid was found to depend dramatically on the strain direction. The shape of the stress-strain hysteresis loops was affected by the strength of the applied field, particularly when the fluid was under tensile loading. In addition, the yield force of the fluid under the oscillatory squeeze-flow mode changed almost linearly with the applied electric or magnetic field. Finally, in order to shed further light on the mechanism of the MR fluid under squeeze operation, computational fluid dynamics analyses of non-Newtonian fluid behaviour using the Bingham-plastic model were carried out. The results confirmed superior fluid performance under compressive inputs.

A three-dimensional numerical analysis of the flow and heat transfer characteristic of wood-flour-filled polypropylene melt in an extrusion die was carried out. Used for this analysis were Finite Concept Method based on FVM, unstructured grid and non-Newtonian fluid viscosity model. Temperature and flow fields are closely coupled through temperature dependent viscosity and viscous dissipation. With large Peclet, Nahme, Brinkman numbers, viscous heating caused high temperature belt near die housing. Changing taper plate thickness and examining some predefined parameters at die exit investigated the effect of taper plate on velocity and temperature uniformities. In the presence of taper plate, uniformity at die exit could be improved and there existed an optimum thickness to maximize it.

The effect of heating time (0 to 30 hours at $180{\pm}5^{\circ}C$) on the change of flow properties, fatty acid compositions and some other characteristics such as acid value, iodine value, peroxide value and density of purified edible rice bran oil were observed. flow properties were measured with Maron-Belner type capillary viscometer. Newtonian motion was observed in non-heated oil and the oil heated for 5 hours but non-Newtonian motion was observed in the oil heated for more than 10 hours and at high shear stress. The fatty acid compositions were analyzed by gas liquid chromatography and all the components of fatty acids were reduced in amounts with extention of heating time. The acid value, peroxide value and density were increased but iodine value were decreased with extension of heating time.

Experimental results for viscous flow of poly (${\gamma}$ -methyl L-glutamate) solutions have been published elsewhere. The data of $[{\eta}]^f / [{\eta}]^0$ are expressed by the following equation, $\frac{[{\eta}^f]}{[{\eta}^{\circ}]}=1-\frac{A}{\eta^\circ}{1-\frac{sin^{-1}[{\beta}_2(f/{\eta}_0)\;{e}xp\;(-c_2f^2/{\eta}_0^2kT)]}{{\beta}_2f/{\eta}_0}$ (A1) where $[{\eta}]^f\; and\; [{\eta} ]^0$ are the intrinsic viscosity at shear stress f and zero, respectively, $ A{\equiv}lim\limits_{C{\rightarrow}0}[(1/C)(X_2/{\alpha}_2)({\beta}_2/{\eta}_0)],{\eta}_0$ viscosity of the solvent, ${\beta}_2$ is the relaxation time of flow unit 2, $c_2$ is a constant related to the elasticity of flow unit 2. The theoretical derivation of Eq.(A1) is given in the text. The experimental curves of $[{\eta}]^f / [{\eta}]^0$ vs. log f are compared with the theoretical curves calculated from Eq.(A1) with good results. Eq.(A1) is also applied to non-biopolymeric solutions, and it was found that in the latter case $c_2 = 0.$ The reason for this is explained in the text. The problems related to non-Newtonian flows are discussed.

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is an undulatory nematode which exhibits two distinct locomotion types of swimming and crawling. Although in its natural habitat C. elegans lives in a non-Newtonian fluidic environment, our current understanding has been limited to the behavior of C. elegans in a simple Newtonian fluid. Here, we present some experimental results on the penetrating behavior of C. elegans at the interface from liquid to solid environment. Once C. elegans, which otherwise swims freely in a liquid, makes a contact to the solid gel boundary, it begins to penetrate vertically to the surface by changing its stroke motion characterized by a stiffer body shape and a slow stroke frequency. The particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis reveals the flow streamlines produced by the stroke of worm. For the worm that crawls on a solid surface, we utilize a technique of traction force microscopy (TFM) to find that the crawling nematode forms localized force islands along the body where makes direct contacts to the gel surface.

본 연구에서는 곡관 채널에서의 비뉴튼 젤 추진제의 유동 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 물을 기본유체로 하는 모사젤을 Carbopol 941 젤화 작용제와 NaOH 농축액을 혼합하여 제작하였으며 입자 유무에 따른 유동 특성을 파악하기 위해 $Al_2O_3$ 나노 입자가 첨가된 젤을 제작하여 두 젤 추진제간의 유변학적 특성을 비교하였다. 두 모사젤에 대해 U-자형의 곡관부 위치별 유동특성과 Dean 와류(vortices)의 경향은 상이하였으나 나노 입자가 첨가된 모사젤 추진제의 경우 높은 컨시스턴시 지수에도 불구하고 두 모사젤 모두 비슷한 범위의 임계 Dean 수를 도출하였다. 나노 입자 첨가 유무와 무관하게 power-law 지수값이 임계 Dean 수를 결정하는데 주요 변수임을 판단할 수 있었으나 나노입자가 첨가된 젤의 경우 Dean 와류 강도의 변동폭이 상대적으로 크다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었다.

To analyze in-vivo blood flow characteristics in a chicken embryo, in-vivo experiment was carried out using micro-PIV technique. Because endothelial cells in blood vessels are subject to shear stress of blood flow, it is important to get velocity field information of the placental blood flow. Instantaneous velocity fields of an extraembryonic blood vessel using a high-speed camera and intravital microscope. The flow images of RBCs were obtained with a spatial resolution of $20\times20{\mu}m$ in the whole blood vessels. The mean velocity field data confirm that the blood flow does show non-Newtonian fluid characteristic. The blood in a branched vessel merged smoothly without any flow separation into the main blood vessel with the presence of a slight bump. This in-vivo micro-PIV measurement technique can be used as a powerful tool in various blood flow researches.
