The effect of vibration on the viscosity of a shear-thinning fluid was investigated with a newly designed pressure-scanning capillary viscometer. The viscometer was designed to measure non-Newtonian viscosity continuously over a range of shear rates at a time. Low frequency vibration was applied perpendicularly to the direction of the flow. The effect of the transversal vibration was investigated for both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids. The experimental results showed that the vibration had no effect on the viscosity of the Newtonian fluids. However, the vibration caused a significant reduction of the shear-thinning fluid viscosity. The viscosity reduction was strongly dependent on both vibration frequency and shear rate. In addition, the viscosity reduction was affected by the amplitude of vibration, and, the bigger amplitude applied, the more viscosity reduction occurred.

As a macromolecule material, melted rubber flow shows characteristics of shear thinning fluid. The dynamic viscosity of this rubber fluid is influenced by temperature and shear strain rate. In this study, the numerical simulation of rubber extrusion forming process has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. Power-law model considering the effect of shear rate is used for the computer simulation of this non-Newyonian flow. Also Non-isothermal behavior is considered as Arrhenius-law model. Distributions of velocity and temperature are predicted through the simulation.

The role of viscosity index improver's(Ⅶ) additives for modem engine lubrication is complex. Under the condition of atmosphere or low shear rate, the characteristics of Ⅶ added lubricant is verified and quoted frequently for mathematical model of lubricant behavior. However, recent research shows that added lubricant has the characteristics of shear thinning at high shear rate condition although it performs well enough over the whole range of working temperature. At high shear rate, they show significant decrease of apparent viscosity irrespective of temperature. Many experimental researches verify that Ⅶ added lubricant shows boundary film layer formation on the solid surface as well as shear thinning effect by its polymeric molecular characteristics. The intend of our research is to verify the effects of Ⅶ from the viewpoint of continuum mechanics, because conventional Reynolds'equation with only pressure-viscosity relation cannot fully predict the lubricant behavior under the Ⅶ added condition. In these aspects, Reynolds'equation of Newtonian fluid model lacks the reflection of real fluid behavior and there is no way to explain the non-linear characteristics of Ⅶ added lubricant. In this research, we mathematically modeled the Ⅶ added lubricant behaviors which are the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid behavior at high shear rate and boundary film formation on the solid surface. The consideration of elastic deformation in the contact region is also included in our computation and finally the converged film pressure and the film thickness with elastic deformation are obtained. The results are compared with those of Newtonian fluid model.

Zeta potential, sedimentation bulk density and rheology in the dispersion system have been studied in terms of solid loading (40-55 vol%), and types of additives. Ammonium polymethacrylate, glycerol, ethoxylated acetylenic diol, and polyvinyl alcohol have been used as the dispersant, cryo-protectant, surfactant, and binder, respectively. Sedimentation density greatly increased upon adding dispersant; the effect was more pronounced with ionic alumina suspension compared with covalent silicon carbide. With further addition of cryo-protectant and surfactant to dispersant, the sedimentation density increased somewhat. The suspension viscosity generally behaviored in an opposite manner to the sedimentation density, i.e., high sedimentation gave low high-shear viscosity, indicative of low order structure formation in the suspended particles. Shear rate rheology in shear rate of $2-300\;sec^{-1}$ showed a shear thinning and its onset began at similar shear rate (${\sim}100\;sce^{-1}$), regardless of solid loading.

본 연구는 토석류의 유통성과 관련하여 세립토의 흐름특성, 유변학적 모델들의 적용가능성 및 액성상태 의존성 유변학적 특성들을 비교 분석하였다. 입자크기에 따른 유변학적 특성을 살펴보고자 점토질이 풍부한 지중해 해저점토와 실트질이 풍부한 캐나다 동부 뉴펀들랜드 와부시 호수에서 채취한 광미에 대한 물성특성을 분석하였다. 점토질이 풍부한 세립토의 경우 전형적인 전단담화(shear thinning) 거동을 보이는 반면, 실트질 광미의 경우는 전단담화와 Bingham 유체 거동을 함께 보인다. 후자의 경우, 전단변형률속도를 높임에 따라 Bingham 유체처럼 거동하였다. 이러한 현상학적 차이는 입자크기에 따른 유동특성곡선의 차이에서 기인한 것이다. 항복응력과 소성점도의 결정은 전단변형에 의한 유동 입자들의 구조적 변화와 응력상태와 관련되기 때문이다. 세립토(< 0.075mm)를 다량 함유한 토석류의 유동성을 역해석하고자 할 때, 퇴적형상(흐름 양상, 퇴적층의 모양, 두께 및 길이 등)은 항복응력과 소성점도에 의해 결정된다. 항복응력과 소성점도는 액성지수의 함수로 나타낼 수 있으므로, 토석류의 발생가능지역에서 액성상태에 따른 토석류의 유동성을 평가할 지표로 활용할 수 있다.

The effect of intermolecular aggregation induced by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions on shear and elongational flow properties of aqueous acrylic thickener solutions is discussed. Complex shear modulus is determined at frequencies up to $10^4$ rad/s employing oscillatory squeeze flow. Extensional flow behavior is characterized using Capillary Break-up Extensional Rheometry. Aqueous solutions of poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinylimidazole) (PVP-VI) mixtures exhibit unusual rheological properties described here for the first time. Zero-shear viscosity of the mixtures increases with decreasing pH and can exceed that of the pure polymers in solution by more than two orders of magnitude. This is attributed to the formation of complexes induced by electrostatic interactions in the pH range, where both polymers are oppositely charged. PAA/PVP-VI mixtures are compared to the commercial thickener Sterocoll FD (BASF SE), which is a statistical co-polymer including (meth) acrylic acid and ethylacrylate (EA) forming aggregates in solution due to "sticky" contacts among hydrophobic EA-sequences. PAA/PVP-VI complexes are less compact and more deformable than the hydrophobic Sterocoll FD aggregates. Solutions of PAA/PVP-VI exhibit a higher zero-shear viscosity even at lower molecular weight of the aggregates, but are strongly shear-thinning in contrast to the weakly shear-thinning solutions of Sterocoll FD. The higher ratio of characteristic relaxation times in shear and elongation determined for PAA/PVP-VI compared to Sterocoll FD solutions reflects, that the charge-induced complexes provide a much stronger resistance to extensional flow than the aggregates formed by hydrophobic interactions. This is most likely due to a break-up of the latter in extensional flow, while there is no evidence for a break-up of complexes for PAA/PVP-VI mixtures. These flexible aggregates are more suitable for the stabilization of thin filaments in extensional flows.

The on-line monitoring for the wall thinning in secondary system has been considered one of main issues for the safety of nuclear power plants. To establish the on-line monitoring technique for the pipe wall thinning, the development of the ultrasonic transducer working in high-temperature is very important. In this investigation, the magnetostrictive transducer is concerned for high temperature condition up to $300^{\circ}C$. The magnetostrictive transducer has many advantages such as high working temperature, durability, cost-effectiveness, and shear waves, most of all. A thin Fe-Co alloy patch whose Curie temperature is over $900^{\circ}C$ was employed as a ferromagnetic material for magnetostriction. Wave transduction experiments in various temperature were carried out and the effect of bias magnets was considered together with the dry coupling performance of the transducer. From experimental results, consequently, it was found that the magnetostrictive transducer works stable even in high temperature up to $300^{\circ}C$ and can be a promising method for the on-line monitoring of the wall thinning in nuclear power plants.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) 상판용 투명유전체의 green sheet를 제조코자 투명유전체 슬러리의 분산특성 및 유기물의 함량과 조성비에 따른 밀도와 기계적 특성을 연구하였다. 비수계 시스템에서 슬러리의 완전분산을 위한 분산제의 종류와 분산제의 양을 결정하기 위해 침강실험, 점도측정을 행하여 최적의 분산조건을 구하였다. 조성물 변수로서 투명유전체조성 분말/(투명유전체조성 분말＋유기물)의 비와 결합제/(결합제＋가소제)의 비를 각각 변화시켜 green sheet를 제조하였다. 제조된 tape casting 슬러리의 대부분은 의가소성(pseudoplastic) 거동을 보이는데, 의가소성 거동은 shear thinning의 효과를 가지는 것으로 기술 할 수 있다. 각각의 조성을 가지는 슬러리는 모두 전단속도가 증가함에 겉보기 점도가 감소하는 shear thinning 효과를 보여 주었다. Green sheet의 특성을 조사한 결과 유기물의 함량 및 조성이 green sheet의 밀도와 기계적 특성을 결정하는 중요한 인자가 되었다.

Since the most of the existing non-Newtonian models are not adequate to apply to the lattmce Boltzmann method, it is a challenging task from both the theoretical and the numerical points of view. In this research the hydro-kinetic model was modified and applied to the 3-D moving sphere in the circular channel flow and the characteristics of the shear thinning effect by the HK-model was evaluated and the condition of ${\Gamma}$ in the model was suggested for the stable simulation to generate non-trivial prediction in three dimension strong shear flows. On the wall boundaries of circular channel the curved wall surface treatment with constant velocity condition was applied and the bounceback condition was applied on the sphere wall to simulate the relative motion of the sphere. The condition is adequate at the less blockage than 0.7 but It may need to apply a multi-scale concept of grid refinement at the narrow flow region. to obtain the stable numerical results.
