Dissolved air flotation is a solid-liquid separation system that uses fine bubbles rising from bottom to remove particles in water. In order to enhance the flotation velocity and removal efficiency of flocs in the flotation process, we tried to obtain pretreatment conditions for the optimum DAF process operation by comparing and evaluating features of actual floc formation and flotation velocity etc, according to coagulant types and conditions for flocculation mixing intensity by using PIA, PDA, and FSA. Accordingly, generating big flocs that have low density at low flocculation mixing intensity may reduce treatment efficiency. In addition, generating small flocs at high flocculation mixing intensity makes floc-bubbles smaller, which reduces flotation velocity, In this study, it was found that high flocculation mixing intensity could not remove the remaining micro-particles after flocculation, which had negative effects on treated water quality, Therefore, in order to enhance treatment efficiency in a flotation process, flocculation mixing intensity around $50sec^{-1}$ is effective.

The unified simulation for the multiphase flow by predictor-corrector scheme based on CIP method is introduced. In this algorithm, the interface between different phases is identified by a density function and tracked by solving an advection equation. Solid body motion is modeled by the translation and angular motion. The mathematical formulation and numerical results are also described. To verify the efficiency, accuracy and capability of proposed algorithm, two dimensional incompressible cavity flow, the motion of a floating ball into water and a single rising bubble by buoyancy force are numerically simulated by the present scheme. As results, it is confirmed that the present scheme gives an efficient, stable and reasonable solution in the multiphase flow problem.

A general purpose program for computing 3-D flows has been extended for two-phase flows with topologically complex interfaces. The 3-D interfaces are tracked by employing a coupled level set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method which not only can calculate an interfacial curvature accurately but also can achieve mass conservation well. The program has been tested through the computations of bubbles rising in a liquid. The numerical results are found to compare well with the results reported in the literature.

This study investigates the change of marriage expense after IMF crisis according to the social classes. The dta were gathered in Taegu city about marriage expense from newly-married people and parent peneration during April 1998. Through the analysis of that dta we identified the reducing of the 'bubble' in marriage consumption after the IMF crisis. but that change was different according to the classes. The most steep drop of marriage expense was fall to upper-middle classes while upper classes revealed a rising tendency and lower-middle & lower classes' stable tendency in marriage expense. These results were interpretered as the 'polarization of consumption' and 'the collapse of middle classes' after IMF crisis.

A new numerical scheme for two-phase flows, the Hybrid VOF method has been developed for improved free surface capturing. The present new method is a volume capturing based VOF method coupled with a reinitialization procedure of a Level-set method. For validation, the proposed method is applied to two test cases: spherical bubble rising and dam breaking. The calculated results by using the Hybrid VOF method with the two previously applied VOF formulations are compared with available numerical and experimental data. It is found that the new method provides more accurate results than the two previous ones.

The present paper proposes a coupled volume-of-fluid (VOF) and level-set (LS) method for simulating incompressible two-phase flows that include surface tension effects. The interface of two fluids and its motion are represented by a VOF method designed using high-resolution differencing schemes. This hybrid method couples the VOF method with an LS distancing algorithm in an explicit way to improve the calculation of the normal and curvature of the interface. It is developed based on a rather simple algorithm to be efficient for various practical applications. The accuracy and convergence properties of the method are verified in a simulation of a single gas bubble rising in a three-dimensional flow with a large density ratio.

A new numerical scheme solving two-phase flow, the Hybrid VOF method for improved free surface capturing has been developed by combining a volume capturing VOF method with the Level-Set reinitialization procedure. For validation, the proposed method is applied to 3-D bubble rising problem, dam breaking and the free surface flow around a commercial container ship. The calculated results by using the Hybrid VOF method with the two previously applied VOF formulations are compared with available numerical and experimental data. It is found that the new method provides more reasonable results than the two previous ones.

Flow structures around a rectangular prism have been investigated by using a PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) technique. A thick turbulent boundary layer was generated by using spires arid roughness elements. The boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness and momentum thickness were 650mm, 117.4mm and 78mm, respectively. The ratio between the model height(40mm) and the boundary layer thickness H/$\delta$, was 0.06. The Reynolds number based on the free stream velocity and the height of the model was 7.9$\times$10$^3$. The PIV measurements were performed at three different wall normal planes. Three recirculation regions at forward facing step, top of the roof and backward facing step are clearly seen and show three dimensional features. Dramatic changes of flow patterns are observed in the wake regions in the different spanwise wall normal planes. Instead of reattachment and recirculation zone, rising streamlines are depicted at the normal planes near the side wall due to the interaction with a rising horse shoe vortex. The peak of turbulent kinetic energy occurs at the separation bubble on top of the roof and the magnitude is 2.5 times higher compared with that of the wake region.

The effect of internal and shroud nozzle distributor to bubbling fluidized beds which has the size of $0.3m-ID{\times}2.4m-high$ column was modeled by CPFD (Computational Particle-Fluid Dynamics). Metal-grade silicon particles (MG-Si) were used as bed materials which have $d_p=149{\mu}m$, ${\rho}_p=2,325kg/m^3$ and $U_{mf}=0.02m/s$. Total bed inventory and static bed height were 75 kg and 0.8 m, respectively. Effect of vertical internal on the bubble rising velocity was investigated. Bubbles were split by internal when the axial position of the internal from the distributor, z = 0.45 m. Bed pressure drop and axial solid holdup were not affected by internal. However, in the case that axial distance of internal from distributor was too close to jet penetration length, bubbles were not separated and bypassed internal, and faster than without internal or z = 0.45 m.

Sub-cooling of cryogenic propellant by helium injection is one of the most effective methods for suppressing bulk boiling and keeping sub-cooled liquid oxygen before rocket launch. In order to design the cooling system, understanding of the limitations of heat and mass transfer is required. In this paper, an analytical model for the helium injection system is presented. This model's main feature is the representation of bubbling system using finite-rate heat transfer and instantaneous mass transfer concept. With this simplified approach, the effect of helium injection to liquid oxygen system under several circumstances is examined. Experimental results along with simulations of single bubble rising in liquid oxygen and bubbling system are presented with various helium injection flow rates, and with change of oxygen chamber pressure.
