The deployable space structure is necessary to minimize the satellite volume and launch cost. For the deployment, passive deployment mechanism has widely been used to attenuate a latch shock induced when the structure is just fully deployed. To reduce the latch shock, viscous damper is applied to the passive deployment mechanism and it can control the deployment speed of the structure. In this paper, dynamic analysis of the deployable space structure using the passive deployment mechanism with the viscous damper has been performed. The viscous damping values have been optimized through numerical simulation. The satellite's attitude influenced by pyro activation for the release of the structure has also been investigated.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the characteristics of pressure wave propagation of viscous fluid flow in a circular pipe line. The goal of this study is to select the best frequency of each control factor of a circular pipe. We intend to approach a formalized mathematical model by a very exact and reasonable polynomial for fluid transmission lines. and we computed this mathematical model by computer. The results show that the oil viscosity decreased as the length of the circular pipe increases. and The energy of pressure wave propagation decreased as the pipe diameter decreases. The factor is that density of oil was changed resonant frequency. It has been found the viscosity characteristics is changed largely by length of hydraulic pipe and volume of cavity tank.

Since the viscous effect increases as the size of device decreases, viscous-driven micropump is a promising mechanism in microscale applications. In the present study, a dual-rotor type pump which contains two counter-rotating cylinders for improving performance characteristics is proposed. First, for flows in the single-rotor type pump, the present unstructured grid simulation method is validated by comparing its results to the previous results. Next, the performance of the dual-rotor type pump is evaluated by the parametric studies and is compared to that of the previous single-rotor type pump. The flow characteristics are qualitatively similar to those of single-rotor type pump. However, the performance of the micropump with tandem rotors is still better than that of previous pumping type, e.g. much larger flow rate, smaller driving region, higher efficiency, and wider operation range.

For aerodynamic design of missile bodies of non-circular cross-section, the combination of the slender body theory and the cross-flow analogy can hardly be applied owing to the lack of experimental data. An alternative is to utilize the Euler solution in the design stage. For enhanced accuracy, however, an adequate viscous correction is necessary to the Euler solution. In this work, such a procedure is examined to compensate the viscous effect by utilizing the concept of proportionality factor in cross-flow analogy. Predictions of aerodynamic coefficients combining the Euler solution and the viscous correction via proportionality factor are made for a missile body of elliptic cross-section. Results indicate that the present approach can be adopted in designing missile bodies of non-circular cross-sections.

A study on the sloshing flow of highly-viscous fluid in a rectangular box was made by both of theoretical approach and experimental visualization method. Assuming a smallness of external forcing to oscillate the container, it was investigated a linear sloshing flow of highly-viscous fluid utilizing asymptotic analysis by Taylor-series expansion as a small parameter R_e (≪1) in which R_e denotes Reynolds number. The theory predict that, during all cycles of sloshing, a linear shape of free surface will prevail in a bulk zone and it has confirmed in experiment. The relevance of perfect slip boundary condition, adopted in theoretical approach, to the bulk zone flow at the container wall was tested in experiment. It is found that quasi-steady coated thin film, which makes a lubricant layer between bulk flow and solid wall, is generated on the wall and the film makes a role to perfect slip boundary condition.

An Amplitude Proportional Friction Damper (APFD) system is considered in order to improve the stick-slip characteristics of Coulomb friction damper. The frictional force is proportional to the amplitude in APFD system and the system is non-linear as is Coulomb damper system. The free vibration analysis on an 1-DOF system has conducted to demonstrate the characteristics of the APFD system and the results show that the APFD system has similar damping characteristics to the viscous damper system. It is concluded that the APFD system may become a cost effective substitution for the viscous damper and it also has certain advantages over Coulomb damper system since the APFD system can be designed to work with no stick-slip.

This paper presents a new concept to reduce turbulent frictional drag by injecting micro-bubble into near the buffer layer of turbulent boundary layer on flat plate. The concentrations of micro bubble distribution in the boundary was calculater by eddy viscosity equations in the governing equations. When near region of the buffer layer of turbulent boundary layer is filled with micro-bulle of air and viscous of the region is kept low, the velocity profile in the near region should be changed substantially. Then the Reynolds stress in the region becomes less, which guide to lower velocity gradient there. It results in reduction of velocity gradient at the viscous sublayer, which gives the reduction of shear stress at the wall.

Oil and gas industry pumps viscous fluids and investigation of flow physics is important to understand the machine behavior to deliver such fluids. 3D numerical flow simulation and analysis for different viscous fluids at different rotational speeds of a centrifugal impeller have been reported in this paper. Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations were solved and the performance analysis was made. Standard two equation k-${\varepsilon}$ model was used for the turbulence closure of steady incompressible flow. An inlet recirculation and reverse flow in impeller passage was observed at low impeller speeds. It was also found that the higher viscosity fluids have higher recirculation which hinders the impeller performance.

To obtain low resistance and high efficiency energy-saving ship, minimum total resistance hull form design method is studied based on potential flow theory of wave-making resistance and considering the effects of tail viscous separation. With the sum of wave resistance and viscous resistance as objective functions and the parameters of B-Spline function as design variables, mathematical models are built using Nonlinear Programming Method (NLP) ensuring the basic limit of displacement and considering rear viscous separation. We develop ship lines optimization procedures with intellectual property rights. Series60 is used as parent ship in optimization design to obtain improved ship (Series60-1) theoretically. Then drag tests for the improved ship (Series60-1) is made to get the actual minimum total resistance hull form.

As the first step to investigate the nonlinear interactions between turbulence and marine structures inside a viscous NWT, a LES technique was applied to solve the turbulent channel flow for =150. The employed turbulence models included 4 types: the Smagorinsky model, the Dynamic SGS model, the Structure Function model, and the Generalized Normal Stress model. The simulated data in time-series for the LESs were averaged in both time and space, and statistical analyses were performed. The results of the LESs were compared with those of a DNS, developed in the present study and two spectral methods by Yoon et al.(2003) and Kim et a1.(1987). Based on this research, the accuracy of LESs has been found to be still related to the number of grids for fine grid size).
