Properties of polymer based nanocomposites depend on dispersion state of embedded fillers. In order to examine the effect of dispersion state on rheological properties, a new bi-mode FENE dumbbell model was proposed. The FENE dumbbell model includes two separate ensemble sets of dumbbells with different fric­tion coefficients, which simulate behavior of well dispersed and aggregated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). A new parameter indicating dispersion state of the CNT was proposed to account for degree of dispersion quantitatively as well as qualitatively. Rheological material functions in elongational, steady shear, and oscillatory shear flows were obtained numerically. The CNT/epoxy nanocomposites with different dis­persion state were prepared depending on whether a solvent is used for the dispersion of CNTs or not. Dis­persion state of the CNT in the epoxy nanocomposites was morphologically characterized by the field emission scanning electronic microscope and the transmission electron microscope images. It was found that the numerical prediction was in a good agreement with experimental results especially for steady state shear flow.

A low-order potential based boundary element method is applied to the prediction of the flow around the cavitating propeller in steady or in unsteady inflow. For given cavitation number, the cavity shape is determined in an iterative manner until the kinematic and the dynamic boundary conditions are both satisfied on the approximate cavity boundary. In order to improve the solution behavior near the tip region, a hyperboloidal panel geometry and a modified split panel method are applied. The method is then extended to include the analysis of time-varying cavitating flows around the propeller blades via a time-step algorithm in time domain. In the method, the steady state oscillatory solution is obtained by incremental stepping in the itme domain. Finally, the present method is validated through comparison with other numerical results and experimental data.

Thermal convection in a horizontal annulus is considered, and the bifurcation phenomena of flows from time-periodic to chaotic convection are numerically investigated. The unsteady two-dimensional streamfunction-vorticity equation is solved with finite difference method. As Rayleigh number is increased, the steady flow bifurcates to a time-periodic flow with a fundamental frequency, and afterwards a period-tripling bifurcation occurs with further increase of the Rayleigh number. Chaotic convection is established after a period-doubling bifurcation. A periodic convection with period 4 appears after the first chaotic convection. At still higher Rayleigh numbers, chaotic flows reappear.

A system of conservation equations for steady, oscillatory and pulsating duct flows are solved analytically by linearizing non-linear convective terms. Analytical solutions of velocity profiles for these flows are obtained in the form of infinite series. The experimental study for the air flow in a square duct ($40mm{\times}40mm$ and 400 mm long) is carried out to measure velocity profiles and other parameters by using a hot-wire anemometer with data acquisition and processing system. Major characteristics of the flows such as the classification of flow patterns, determination of critical Reynolds number and velocity profiles is accomplished from the experismental results.

An experimental technique was developed to determine the strain-rate in a tensile specimen. Then one can calculate the transient isothermal elongational viscosity. Both shear and elongational viscosities were measured to study the effect of shear and elongational fields on the flow properties. The comparison between these viscosities shows that the onset of rapid viscosity growth as crystallization solidification proceeds occurs at about the same value of time at very small deformation rates (0.0028 and 0.0047 $s^{-1}$). The comparison of these measured viscosities as functions of shear and elongational Hencky strains also reveals that the onset of rapid viscosity growths starts at critical Hencky strain values. The behaviour of steady shear viscosity as function of temperature sweep was also explored at three different low shear rates. Finally, the influence of changing oscillatory frequencies and strain rates was also investigated.

Using a Rheometries Fluids Spectrometer (RFS II), the dynamic viscoelastic properties of aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) solutions in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields have been measured over a wide range of angular frequencies. The angular frequency dependence of the storage and loss moduli at various molecular weights and concentrations was reported in detail, and the result was interpreted using the concept of a Deborah number De. In addition, the experimentally determined critical angular frequency at which the storage and loss moduli become equivalent was compared with the calculated characteristic time (or its inverse value), and their physical significance in analyzing the dynamic viscoelastic behavior was discussed. Finally, the relationship between steady shear flow and dynamic viscoelstic properties was examined by evaluating the applicability of some proposed models that describe the correlations between steady flow viscosity and dynamic viscosity, dynamic fluidity, and complex viscosity. Main results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows: (1) At lower angular frequencies where De<1, the loss modulus is larger than the storage modulus. However, such a relation between the two moduli is reversed at higher angular frequencies where De>l, indicating that the elastic behavior becomes dominant to the viscous behavior at frequency range higher than a critical angular frequency. (2) A critical angular frequency is decreased as an increase in concentration and/or molecular weight. Both the viscous and elastic properties show a stronger dependence on the molecular weight than on the concentration. (3) A characteristic time is increased with increasing concentration and/or molecular weight. The power-law relationship holds between the inverse value of a characteristic time and a critical angular frequency. (4) Among the previously proposed models, the Cox-Merz rule implying the equivalence between the steady flow viscosity and the magnitude of the complex viscosity has the best validity. The Osaki relation can be regarded to some extent as a suitable model. However, the DeWitt, Pao and HusebyBlyler models are not applicable to describe the correlations between steady shear flow and dynamic viscoelastic properties.

In this paper, the fundamental equations are developed for the pulsatile laminar flow generated by changing the oscillatory flow with $0{\leq}f{\leq}48Hz$ into a steady one with $0{\leq}Re{\leq}2500$ in a rigid circular pipe. Analytical solutions for the wave propagation factor k, the axial distributions of cross-sectional mean velocity $u_m$ and pressure p are schematically derived and confirmed experimentally. The axial distributions of centerline velocity and pressure were measured by using Pitot-static tubes and strain gauge type pressure transducers, respectively. The cross-sectional mean velocity was calculated from the centerline velocity by applying the parabolic distribution of the laminar flow and it was confirmed by using the ultrasonic flowmeter. It was found that the axial distributions of cross-sectional mean velocity and pressure agree well with theoretical ones and depend only on the Reynolds number Re and angular velocity $\omega$.

A mock circulatory loop system has been developed to construct a simulator for trainees in cardiopulmonary bypass systems or to simulate a test environment for cardiac-assist devices. This paper proposes a computerized mock circulatory loop system whose node is modularized by using a servo control flow regulator to simulate dynamic change of the hemodynamic status. To observe the effect of time-varying resistance, one with hemodynamic properties, the proposed system replicates the planned cross-sectional areas of the outlet of a ventricular assist device in terms of voltage input of a servo valve. The experiment is performed (1) for steady-input commands of selected area sizes and (2) for dynamic commands such as monotonous increase and decrease, and oscillatory functions of the voltage input, and a computer program based on LabVIEW (National Instruments, Austin, USA) processes every measured data and control command to the servo valve. The results show that the pressure and flow at the target points with respect to time-varying resistance match intuitive estimation: the pressure at the outlet and the pressure drop between both sides of the valve increased and the flow at the outlet decreased for increased resistance.

본 연구의 목적은 고분자 농후용액의 정상유동특성(비선형 거동)과 소진폭 전단변형하에서의 동적 점탄성(선형 거동) 간에 존재하는 상관관계를 파악함에 있다. 이를 위해 Advanced Rheometric Expansion System(ARES)과 Rheometrics Fluids Spectrometer (RFS II)를 사용하여 폴리에틸렌 옥사이드, 폴리이소부틸렌 및 폴리아크릴 아마이드 농후용액의 정상류점도 및 동적 선형 점탄성을 광범위한 전단속도와 각주파수 영역에서 측정하였다. 이들 측정결과로부터 정상류점도와 동적점도 또는 동적 유동성간의 상관관계를 제시한 몇 가지 관계식의 적용성을 비교.검토하였다. 그리고 정상류점도와 복소점도의 절대치를 비교하여 양자간의 등가관계를 나타내는 Cox-Merz 법칙의 적용성에 대한 농도의 영향을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 나아가서 대변형하에서의 비선형성의 정도를 나타내는 비선형 스트레인 척도의 개념을 도입하여 Cox-Merz 법칙의 적용성에 미치는 영향을 이론적 관점에서 고찰하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 정상류점도의 전단속도 의존성과 동적 점탄성의 각주파수 의존성간에 제시된 여러 관계식들 중에서 정상류점도와 복소점도 절대치간의 등가관계를 나타내는 Cox-Merz법칙이 가장 우수한 적용성을 갖는다. (2) 높은 전단속도 또는 각주파수 영역에서는 정상류점도와 복소점도의 관계가 용액 농도에 따라 서로 상이하게 나타난다. 즉 낮은 농도의 용액에서는 정상류점도가 복소점도에 비해 다소 큰 값을 나타내며, 농도가 증가할수록 이러한 경향은 역전되어 높은 농도의 용액에서는 복소점도가 정상류점도에 비해 큰 값을 갖는다. (3) 비선형 스트레인 척도는 작은 크기의 변형량에서는 직선적으로 증가하다가 점차적으로 그 증가율이 감소하여 최대치에 도달한 후 그 이상의 변형량 영역에서는 변형량이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 거동을 나타낸다. 이러한 거동은 스트레인 증가에 따라 진폭이 점차로 감소하는 감쇠진동함수의 형태를 갖는 이론적 예측과는 상당한 차이를 나타낸다. (4) 대변형하에서 비선형 스트레인 척도의 기울기 (고분자 용액의 비선형성의 정도)는 Cox-Merz 법칙의 적용성에 영향을 미치며, 이 값이 감소할수록 Cox-Merz 법칙은 더욱 잘 성립한다.
