The present study investigates turbulent flows subject to strong wall injection in a channel through a Direct Numerical Simulation technique. These flows are pertinent to internal flows inside the hybrid rocket motors. A simplified model problem where a regression process at the wall is idealized by the wall blowing has been studied to gain a better understanding of how the near-wall turbulent structures are modified. As the strength of wall blowing increases, the turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stress increase rapidly and this is thought to result from the shear instability induced by the injected flows at the wall. Also, turbulent viscosity grows rapidly as the flow moves downstream. Thus, the effect of wall-blowing modifies the state of turbulence significantly and more sophisticated turbulence modeling would be required to predict this type of flows accurately.

Flow fields in two-dimensional plane channels with thin obstacles("baffles and blocks") mounted symmetrically in the vertical direction and periodically in the streamwise direction are studied numerically to understand how various geometric conditions influence the critical Reynolds number and pressure drop. Changing BR(the ratio of channel to baffle interval) from 1:1 to 1.5, we computed the critical Reynolds number and pressure drop. Especially when BR is 1:3, at which the critical Reynolds number turned out to be minimal, we added blocks in the geometry in order to study their destabiliting effects on the flows.

An efficient tidal model, TIDE which is an iterative type, nonlinear finite element model has developed for the analysis of the tidal movement in the coastal area which is characterized by irregular boundaries and bottom topography. Traditional time domain finite element models have been in difficulties with requirement for high eddy viscosity coefficients and small time steps to insure numerical instability. These problems are overcome by operating in the frequency domain with an elaborate grid system by combining the triangular and quadrilateral shape grids. Furthermore, in order to handle non-linearity which will be more significant in the shallow region, an iterative scheme with least square error minimization algorithm has been implemented in the model. The results of TIDE model are agreed with the analytical solutions in a rectangular channel under the condition of tidal waves entering the channel closed at one end.

Microfluidic chips have been frequently utilized to perform biochemical analysis, like cell culture, because they reduce the consumptions of analytes and reagents and automate multi-step analysis processes. It is often critical to monitor temperature in a microchannel for the analyses in order to control a reaction condition of bio or chemical molecules. We propose a novel method to monitor temperature of a microchannel flow by using polydiacetylene (PDA), a conjugated polymer, that has a unique property to transform its color from visible blue to fluorescent red by thermal stress. We inject PDA sensor droplets generated by hydrodynamic instability into a microchannel with a microheater incorporated on the channel bottom. Also, we change the channel temperature by providing the different electric power to the microheater. The results show that the florescence intensity of PDA sensor droplets linearly increases in response to the flow temperature increase within a certain range.

충적하천의 복잡하고 다양한 이동특성을 파악하고 이해하는 것은 하천공학적으로 매우 중요하며, 본 연구에서는 저수로의 이동 및 하상저하로 인하여 취수문제가 있는 경상북도 구미시에 위치한 해평취수장 주변에 대하여 항공사진 분석을 통하여, 시간에 따른 하천의 지형변화, 저수로의 이동 특성을 조사하고 분석하였다. 저수로는 좌안에서 우안으로 이동해 가고 있으며, 저수로는 강턱유량에 대하여 복렬사주가 발달하는 특성을 보여주고 있다. 이는 하천의 경사가 급하고 하폭이 넓고 수심이 얕은 곳에서 발생하는 현상으로서, 저수로의 불안정성이 증가하기 때문이다. 또한 저수로의 사행도가 감소하면서 저수로 폭이 증가하는 것은 제한된 범위 안에서 저수로의 분류와 합류가 활발하게 발생하는 것을 의미한다. 시간의 증가에 따라 저수로 하폭의 증가율과 측방향 이동율은 감소하고 있다. 강턱유량을 이용하여 중규모 영역구분을 수행한 결과, 복렬사주가 발달하는 하천의 특성을 보여주었으며, 모래하천으로서 부유사가 지배적인 하천으로 판단되었다.

High-performance, fully-transparent, and top-gated oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) was successfully fabricated with Ta2O5 high-k gate dielectric on a glass substrate. Through a self-passivation with the gate dielectric and top electrode, the top-gated oxide TFT was not affected from H2O and O2 causing the electrical instability. Heat-treated InSnO (ITO) was used as the top and source/drain electrode with a low resistance and a transparent property in visible region. A InGaZnO (IGZO) thin-film was used as a active channel with a broad optical bandgap of 3.72 eV and transparent property. In addition, using a X-ray diffraction, amorphous phase of IGZO thin-film was observed until it was heat-treated at 500 oC. The fabricated device was demonstrated that an applied electric field efficiently controlled electron transfer in the IGZO active channel using the Ta2O5 gate dielectric. With the transparent ITO electrodes and IGZO active channel, the fabricated oxide TFT on a glass substrate showed optical transparency and high carrier mobility. These results expected that the top-gated oxide TFT with the high-k gate dielectric accelerates the realization of presence of fully-transparent electronics.

The instability of operational channels on cognitive radio networks (CRNs), which is due to the stochastic behavior of primary users (PUs), has increased the complexity of the design of the optimal routing criterion (ORC) in CRNs. The exploitation of available opportunities in CRNs, such as the channel diversity, as well as alternative routes provided by the intermediate nodes belonging to routes (internal backup routes) in the route-cost (or weight) determination, complicate the ORC design. In this paper, to cover the channel diversity, the CRN is modeled as a multigraph in which the weight of each edge is determined according to the behavior of PU senders and the protection of PU receivers. Then, an ORC for CRNs, which is referred to as the stability probability of communication between the source node and the destination node (SPC_SD), is proposed. SPC_SD, which is based on the obtained model, internal backup routes, and probability theory, calculates the precise probability of communication stability between the source and destination. The performance evaluation is conducted using simulations, and the results show that the end-to-end performance improved significantly.

A numerical program based on computational fluid dynamics has been developed to simulate characteristics of an EHD induction micropump. The ambiguity of boundary conditions was removed by adopting an equation formulated for electric potential as the dependent variable. The calculations show that the dependency of frequency agrees well with the experiments and the previous analysis. The instability, caused by backflows, is getting stronger as the channel depth increases, which is consistent with experiments. The present study reveals that it is due to the limit in the penetration depth which the electric field can affect. Despite the disadvantage of large channel depth, there is a certain optimal depth for the maximum flow rate.

액체산소/케로신 액체로켓엔진에서 케로신은 추진제일 뿐만 아니라 3,000 K 이상의 연소가스로부터 연소실 벽면을 보호하기 위한 냉각제 역할도 수행한다. 케로신은 냉각채널을 통과하면서 높은 온도에 노출되기 때문에 열과 관련한 화학반응이 일어나 탄소 과잉 고체가 침전되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 케로신의 열/유체 특성 시험 데이터는 재생냉각 연소실 설계에 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 재생냉각채널과 케로신에 관련된 해외 연구를 조사하였다. 탄화수소 연료에 대한 전반적인 정보를 시작으로, 냉각채널 벽면에 발생하는 퇴적 현상, 이에 대한 원인/연구결과, 케로신 코킹 시험 장치/예방 방법 등을 체계적으로 정리하고자 하였다.

Semiconducting amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) has attracted significant research attention as improved deposition techniques have made it possible to make high-quality a-IGZO thin films. IGZO thin films have several advantages over thin film transistors (TFTs) based on other semiconducting channel layers.The electron mobility in IGZO devices is relatively high, exceeding amorphous Si (a-Si) by a factor of 10 and most organic devices by a factor of $10^2$. Moreover, in contrast to other amorphous semiconductors, highly conducting degenerate states can be obtained with IGZO through doping, yet such a state cannot be produced with a-Si. IGZO thin films are capable of mobilities greaterthan 10 $cm^2$/Vs (higher than a-Si:H), and are transparent at visible wavelengths. For oxide semiconductors, carrier concentrations can be controlled through oxygen vacancy concentration. Hence, adjusting the oxygen partial pressure during deposition and post-deposition processing provides an effective method of controlling oxygen concentration. In this study, we deposited IGZO thinfilms at optimized conditions and then analyzed the film's electrical properties, surface morphology, and crystal structure. Then, we explored how to generate IGZO thin films using DC magnetron sputtering. We also describe the construction and characteristics of a bottom-gate-type TFT, including the output and transfer curves and bias stress instability mechanism.
