The objective of this study is a qualitative comparison between line-integrated OH chemiluminescence(OH$\^$*/) image and its Abel inverted image to investigate the flame structure 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 and 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 ∼341.8㎐, 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$\^$*/ and NOx emissions was expected largely due to the exponential dependence of thermal NOx mechanism on flame temperature.

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.

유량 환산에 이용되는 수위-유량 관계곡선식은 하천의 흐름을 정상 등류상태로 가정하고 유속계를 하천에 투입하여 년간 정해진 횟수의 유량측정을 실시하여 이로부터 갱신하여 작성하고 있다. 평수기에는 이렇게 기기를 이용하여 유량측정이 가능하지만 홍수기나 갈수기에는 접촉식 유속계를 이용한 하천유량 측정이 불가능한 실정이다. 홍수기에는 기기 손상과 관측자의 안전이 위협받는 실정이고, 갈수기에는 유속이 너무 느려서 (0.1 m/s 이하) 프로펠러 유속계의 경우 유속의 정확한 관측이 힘들다. 또한 전지구적 빈번한 이상기후의 현실정에서 가장 중요한 기초 수문자료인 홍수량의 정확한 측정 자료는 많지 않다. 홍수유량을 측정하기 위해서 현재에도 기존의 봉부자를 이용하거나 유비쿼터스 센서를 장착한 봉부자를 이용하는 유량측정 기법이 향해지고 계속적으로 소개되고 있는 실정이지만 봉부자의 특성상 정확한 유량을 계산하기에는 어려움이 많다. 현재 선진국에서는 흐름과 비접촉식 방법을 이용한 하천유량측정 방법이 지난 10 여년간 꾸준이 연구되어 왔다. 그중 대표전인 것이 전자파를 이용한 방법과 영상해석에 의한 방법이다. 전자의 경우 국내에서는 수자원공사에서 10년 이상 연구 개발하여 상품화 시킨바 현업에서 이를 이용하여 홍수유량측정을 실시하고 있다. 후자의 방법은 유체역학 분야에서 흐름해석에 주로 이용되어지던 PIV(particle image velocimetry) 기법을 하천과 같이 대규모의 흐름영역에 적용가능하도록 개발된 기술로 LSPIV (large-casle particle image velocimetry)라 불리우는 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 미국 Iowa 대학에서 개발한 LSPIV를 이용하여 홍수파의 진행시 수위와 유량의 두 변수 사이에 나타나는 Loop rating curve의 이론적인 관계를 하천현장에서 일정시간 간격으로 실측을 통하여 파악하고자 하였다. 현장실험을 위한 대상지점으로 미국 Iowa주 Coralville 시내 Clear Creek의 USGS (US Geologival Survey) 수위관측소 지점을 선택하여 본 연구에서 실시한 유량측정 결과의 비교가 가능토록 하였다. LSPIV는 그 특성상 야간에는 적용하는데 어려움이 있어 아침시간부터 해가 지기 직전까지의 자연채광 조건의 영상취득이 가능한 시간대에서 표면유속을 측정하였고 이에 수심평균유속환산계수를 적용하여 유량을 계산하였다. 강우의 발생으로 인한 홍수파의 진행시 총 43회의 유량을 측정하였는바 이를 이용하여 이 지점의 수위-유량 관계식과 비교한 결과 거의 일치하는 결과를 나타냈다. 특히 홍수파의 진행시 고수위 영역에서의 측정한 결과는 수위의 상승기에는 최고로 7.5% 까지 측정유량이 수위-유량관계식에서 계산한 유량보다 컸으며, 수위의 하강기에는 반대로 최고 5.4% 정도까지 측정유량이 수위-유량관계식에서 계산한 유량보다 작게 나타났다. 또한 최대유량의 발생시기는 최고수위 발생직전의 수위라는 것이 파악되었다. 이러한 경향은 수위-유량 관계곡선의 이론과 잘 일치하는 것이다.

This study is aimed at figuring out the reasons of the mass mortality of abalone and the increase in its mortality rate in the sea cage. The study suggests that lack seawater circulation in an abalone aquaculture cage is an important culprit for it. We analyzed the current distribution around a 1/20 scaled-down abalone unit cage of 4 rows and 10 columns by fluid flow visualization technique (PIV : Particle Image Velocimetry). The speed of current in the model cage definitely slowed down in the first column of a unit cage. We also observed currents going down to the bottom of a water tank from the unit cages placed in the middle. The speed of wakes behind inside the row in the middle was slower than that outside the row. Water velocity inside and outside a real abalone cage at Nowha Island adjacent to Wan Island was measured to verify results from the tank test. The speed of current in front of the cage by 2 m was 0.11 m/sec while it was only 0.0009 m/sec inside the cage. It had similar findings with those of a tank test.

PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) velocity field measurements inside the snout of a1/10 scale model of the Zn plating process were carried out at the strip speed $V_s=1.5m/s$. Aluminum powder particles ($1{\mu}m$) and atomized olive oil ($3{\mu}m$) were used as seeding particles to simulate the molten Zinc flow and deoxidization gas flow, respectively. A pulsed Nd:Yag laser and a $2K{\times}2K$ high-resolution CCD camera were synchronized for the PIV velocity field measurement. From flow visualization study, it is found that the liquid flow in the Zn pot is dominantly governed by the uprising flow caused by the rotating sink roll, with its effect on the steel strip inside the snout largely diminished by installing of the snout. The deoxidization gas flow in front of the strip inside the snout can be characterized by a large-scale vortex rotating clockwise direction formed by the moving strip. In the rear side of the strip, a counter-clockwise vortex is formed and some of the flow entrained by the moving strip impinges on the free surface of molten zinc. The liquid flow in front of the strip is governed by the flow entering the snout, caused by the spinning sink roll. Just below the free surface a counter-clockwise vortex is formed near the snout wall. The moving strip affects dominantly the flow behind the strip inside the snout, and large amount of the liquid flow follows the moving strip toward the sink roll. The thickness of the flow following the strip is very thin in the front side due to the uprising flow, however thick boundary layer is formed in the rear side of the strip. Its thickness is increased as moving downstream toward the sink roll. Inside the snout, the deoxidization gas flow above the free surface is much faster than the liquid flow in the zinc pot. Due to the larger influx of the flow following the moving strip in the rear side of the strip, higher percentage of imperfection can be anticipated on the rear surface of the strip.

We performed a dynamic characterization of passive flow-rate regulators, which compensate for inlet pressure variation and maintain a constant flow rate for precise liquid control in microfluidic systems. To measure the flow rate for a short time, much less than the period of the dynamic inlet pressure, we use the particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. DI water containing fluorescent beads with a $0.7-{\mu}m$ diameter was supplied to the flow-rate regulators, and two successive images of the particles were taken by a pulse laser and a fluorescent microscope to measure the flow velocity. For a dynamic inlet pressure of frequency 60 Hz, the flow velocity was constant with an average of 0.194 ${\pm}$ 0.014 m/s as the inlet pressure varied between 20 kPa to 50 kPa. The flow-rate regulators provided a constant flow rate of $5.82{\pm}0.29\;{\mu}l/s$ in the frequency range of the inlet pressure from 1 Hz to 60 Hz.

Cold spray deposition using Titanium powder was carried out to investigate the effects of powder morphology and powder preheating on the coating properties such as porosity and hardness. The in-flight particle velocity of Ti powder in cold spray process was directly measured using the PIV (particle image velocimetry) equipment. Two types of powders (spherical and irregular ones) were used to manufacture cold sprayed coating layer. The results showed that the irregular morphology particle appeared higher in-flight particle velocity than that of the spherical one under the same process condition. The coating layer using irregular morphology powder represented lower porosity level and higher hardness. Two different preheating conditions (no preheating and preheating at $500^{\circ}C$) were used in the process of cold spraying. The porosity decreased and the hardness increased by conducting preheating at $500^{\circ}C$. It was found that the coating properties using different preheating conditions were dependent not on the particle velocity but on the deformation temperature of particle. The deposition mechanism of particles in cold spray process was also discussed based on the experimental results of in flight-particle velocity.

The purpose in having a control rod on a buoy system is to control the motion of it. The system may be composed entirely of a single circular cylinder and a long mooring anchor cable. A control rod has one function to perform in meeting its purpose, and that is to develop a control force in consequence of its orientation and movement relative to the water. The forces and moments generated as a result of the effects of mutual interference. then determine the stability characteristics of the body. In this paper, the study of control-rod-attached buoy's 2-dimensional section was accomplished. model tests and numerical simulations had been carried out with different diameters of control rods. and varying the Reynolds number $Re=5,000{\sim}25,000$ based on the cylinder diameter(D=50mm) to predict the performance of the body and the 2 frame particle tracking method Iud been used to obtain the velocity distribution in the flow field. 50mm circular cylinder Iud been used during the whole experiments and measured results had been compared with each other.

Conventional electrospray and air spray methods have the vulnerabilities of limited flow rate (throughput) and droplet size, respectively. Since high throughput with uniform size of droplet is required for various applications, an improved technique should be adopted. Here, we report a combined system of an air pressure and an electric field and evaluate the atomization performance of it. The air flow allowed applying high flow rate range and the electric field reinforced the atomization process to generate fine droplets. A correlation between two forces was investigated by comparing the droplet produced by each method. The atomized droplets were measured and visualized by image processing and a particle image velocimetry (PIV). The quantitative results were achieved from the parametric space and the effect of both forces was analyzed. The motion of charged droplets followed the outer electric field rather than the complex vortex in the shear layer so that the droplets accelerated directly toward the grounded collector.
