큰 하상계수를 가지는 국내 중소하천의 특성상 농업용수 등의 수자원 이용을 위해 국내에는 약 10,000개 정도의 하천 횡단구조물이 설치되어 있다. 그러나 느려진 유속으로 인하여 횡단구조물 상류에 유사가 퇴적될 확률이 높아지며, 이러한 유사는 부착된 오염물에 의한 수질 및 하상오염, 좁아진 유수단면적에 의한 통수능 저하로 발생하는 홍수위 증가 등 많은 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 이에 대한 해결책 중의 하나로 저층수 배사관(bypass pipe)을 활용하여 쌓여진 유사를 하류로 흘려보내는 방법이 있다. 저층수 배사관은 횡단구조물 상류와 하류의 하상을 연결하는 관으로써 상류와 하류의 수두차에 의해 흐름 특성이 결정된다. 하지만 배사관 내 사석이 유입되어 배제되지 않는 경우 배사관의 효율이 현저하게 저하될 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 배사관내 사석이 유입되었을 때, 어떠한 조건에서 배제되고 배제되지 않는지를 명확히 하고자 한다. 하상이 평탄한 수로$(13.0(L){\times}5.0(B){\times}1.0(H)m)$를 재현하였으며, 배출관의 직경은 10cm로 결정하였다. 사석의 종류는 4가지(3cm, 5cm, 7cm, 9cm)로써 이를 고려하여 격자크기를 0.5cm로 결정하였다. 이는 사석의 구형형상이 충분히 잘 재현될 수 있는 격자크기이다. 모의 수행은 하류의 수위를 변화시켜가며 수행하였다. 저층수 배사관 내 유동 특성이 상류와 하류의 수두차에 의해 결정되기 때문에, 모의의 효율성을 위해 상류의 수위는 일정한 값으로 진행하였다. 모의 결과 수위차가 클수록 배제가 잘되는 경향을 보였다. 입자의 크기와 상하류 수위차를 무차원화 한 변수를 결정하였다. 분석결과 이 변수가 일정 값을 넘어서는 경우 배제가 되며, 반대로 이 값을 넘어서지 못한 경우 배제가 되지 않음을 확인하였다. 향후 다양한 관의 형상에 대해서도 배사관 내 한계조건을 도출하여, 저층수 배사관의 설계 및 시공에 도움이 되고자 한다.

A numerical simulation of the steady and pulsatile flow across the end-to-side anastomosis was performed In order to understand the role of flow dynamics in the preferential bevel opment of distal anastomotic intimal hyperplasla. The finite element technique was employed to solve two-dimensional unsteady pulsatile flow in that region. The results of the steady flow revealed that low shear stresses occur at the proximally occluded host artery and at the recirculation region in the Inner wall just distal to the toe region of the anastomosis. The nor- mal;zed wall shear rate was increased, as was the recirculation zone size in the host artery of the by-pass graft anastomosis, with increased anastomotic junction angle. In order to min imize the size of the low wall shear region which might result in the intimal hyperplasia in the by-pass graft anastomosis, a smaller anastomotic junction angle is recommended. The pulsatile flow simulation revealed flow that regions of low and ascillating mali shear do exist near the anastomosis as In the steady simulation. The shift of stagnation point depends on the pulsation of the flow. As the flow was accelerated at systole, the stagnation point moved downstream, disappered at early diastole and reappeared during late diastole. Low shear stress was also found along both walls of the occluded proximal artery. However, the diastolic flow behavior is quite different from the steady results. The vortex near the occluded artery moved downstream and inwardly during late systole, and disappeared during diastole. Recirculations proximal to the toe and heel regions were significant during diastole. Shear stress oscillation was found along the opposite wall. The results of the present study revealed that tow shear occurs at the proximally occluded host artery aud the recirculation region in the inner wall Just dlstal to the toe region of the anastomosis. The present study suggested that the regions of fluctuated wall shear stress wit flow separation is correlated with the preferential developing regions of anastomosis neointial fibrous hyperplasia.

A serpentine channel geometry often used in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell has a strong pressure gradient between adjacent channels in specific regions. The pressure gradient helps some amount of reactant gas penetrate through a gas diffusion layer(GDL). As a result, the overall serpentine flow structure is slightly different from intention of a designer. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of serpentine flow structure on current density distribution. By using a commercial code, STAR-CD, a numerical simulation is performed to analyze the fuel cell with relatively high aspect ratio active area. To increase the accuracy of the numerical simulation, GDL permeabilities are measured with various compression conditions. Three-dimensional flow field and current density distribution are calculated. For the verification of the numerical simulation results, water condensation process in the cathode channel is observed through a transparent bipolar plate. The result of this study shows that the region of relatively low current density corresponds to that of dropwise condensation in cathode channels.

The objective of the present work is to improve numerical predictions of unsteady turbulent swirling flows in the draft tubes of hydraulic power plants. We present Large Eddy Simulation (LES) results on a simplified draft tube consisting of a straight conical diffuser. The basis of LES is to solve the large scales of motion, which contain most of the energy, while the small scales are modeled. LES strategy is here preferred to the average equations strategies (RANS models) because it resolves directly the most energetic part of the turbulent flow. LES is now recognized as a powerful tool to simulate real applications in several engineering fields which are more and more frequently found. However, the cost of large-eddy simulations of wall bounded flows is still expensive. Bypass methods are investigated to perform high-Reynolds-number LES at a reasonable cost. In this study, computations at a Reynolds number about 2 $10^5$ are presented. This study presents the result of a new near-wall model for turbulent boundary layer taking into account the streamwise pressure gradient (adverse or favorable). Validations are made based on simple channel flow, without any pressure gradient and on the data base ERCOFTAC. The experiments carried out by Clausen et al. [1] reproduce the essential features of the complex flow and are used to develop and test closure models for such flows.

The laboratory and pilot scale BAFs (biological aerated filters) were operated with 0.3 hr to 1.1 hr EBCT(empty bed contact time) at a maximum filtration rate of $472m^3/m^2/day$ as a treatment method for reuse of secondary effluent and by-pass flow in this study. The effluent BOD and SS were generally 3.5 to 5 mg/L and 2 to 3 mg/L, respectively with 2ndary effluent, but the SS concentrations increased to 4 to 8 mg/L with the increased flow rates of by-pass flow. Potential nitrification rates were very high, but the nitrogen removal efficiencies were low due to the limited carbon sources. Bypass of a part of primary effluent seemed to be desirable to increase the nitrogen removal. Disinfection must be furnished for the reuse of BAF effluent.

This study proposes an idea for energy saving in apartment machine rooms. A conventional district heating system is equipped with constant-flow pumps and bypass valves to regulate pump differential pressure. Each family unit is equipped with a constant-flow on/off valve. This leads to excessive hot water circulation and a high return temperature. To reduce energy loss, this study assumes that each family unit is renovated with a heating valve which regulates the return temperature at $35^{\circ}C$. The hot water supply pump is also replaced with a pump with an inverter to vary flow rate. Expected energy savings is then estimated from field test data. According to the results, pump electricity consumption was reduced by 6,100 kWh for a family unit building over about half a year. The supply temperature can also be lowered by $5^{\circ}C$, which can contribute to a production of electricity of 10.3 kWh/ton of hot water.

The mean perfusion pressure produced by 20 different design and size of disposable aortic perfusion cannulas [size range: 18F to 20F] at flow rates of 1 to 5 L/min was compared. A roller pump with perfusion tubing 10mm in inner diameter was used with a mixture of 0.9% normal saline and 100% glycerin [mixing ratio of 6.72:13.28] to make the viscosity as normal blood in 20oC as the test solution. Line pressure in these cannulas at a flow rate of 3L/min ranged from 13.2$\pm$4.47 to 157$\pm$1 34 mmHg in a case of absence of resistance, and from 11.4$\pm$1.14 to 227.2$\pm$4.47 mmHg in a case of presence of resistances 14 cannulas had gradients of less than 100Hg at a flow rate of 3L/min and 9 cannulas less than 100mmHg at 4L/min. The following results were obtained from this experimental study: .1] A wide range of line pressure was observed in disposable aortic perfusion cannulas currently in clinical use; 2] Some cannulas currently used for cardiopulmonary bypass in adults generated excessive line pressure; 3] Both the material and design affect function, with some designs safer than others. Cardiac surgeons should base the choice of aortic perfusion cannula on the best performance and safest design available to avoid cannula-related problems during operation.

A 3-year-old boy with Glenn physiology exhibited refractory heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. To improve the patient's oxygen saturation, he underwent ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation with concomitant Fontan completion. The extracardiac conduit Fontan operation was performed with a 4-mm fenestration. For VAD implantation, Berlin Heart cannulas were positioned at the left ventricular apex and the neo-aorta. Following weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, a temporary continuous-flow VAD, equipped with an oxygenator, was utilized for support. After a stabilization period of 1 week, the continuous-flow VAD was replaced with a durable pulsatile-flow device. Following 3 months of support, the patient underwent transplantation without complications. The completion of the Fontan procedure at the time of VAD implantation, along with the use of a temporary continuous-flow device with an oxygenator, may aid in stabilizing postoperative hemodynamics. This approach could contribute to a safe transition to a durable pulsatile VAD in patients with Glenn physiology.

Trancranial Doppler(TCD) monitoring is a new application of ultrasonography which allows the nonivasive detection of blood flow velocity in the horizontal (M1) segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and detects microembolic phenomena in the cerebral circulation. Recent studies emphasized the potential of using this technique in vascular surgery (carotid endarterectomy, cardiopulmonary bypass), interventional and intensive care setting. Although the disparity between CBF and blood flow velocity and number of microemboli could be used to prevent cerebral ischemic and embolism based on clinical studies. A reduction of more than 60% of MCA can reflex hemodynamic ischemic state and acoustic feedback of high intensity transient signals(HITS) from the TCD monitoring unit has a direct influence on surgical technique. TCD monitoring can immediately provide information about thromboembolism and hemodynamic changes, which may be a useful tool in the study and prevention of stroke.

The potential for enhancing myocardial protection by adding high-energy phosphate to cardioplegic solutions [St. Thomas Hospital solution] was investigated in a rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic arrest. Creatine phosphate was evaluated as an additive to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. Creatine phosphate 10.0 mmol/L as the optimal concentration which improved recovery of aortic flow and cardiac output after a 30 minute period of normothermic [37oC] ischemic arrest. In comparing mechanical function in both groups the mean postischemic recoveries of aortic flow, cardiac output, stroke volume and stroke work [expressed as a percentage of its preischemic control] were significantly greater in STH-CP group than in CP- free control group. In addition to improving function and decreasing CK release, CP reduced reperfusion arrhythmias significantly decreasing the time between cross-clamp removal and return to regular rhythm from 81.8 * 13.9 [sec] in CP-free group to 35.9 * 6.8 [sec] in CP group [P< 0.05] so, exogenous CP exerts potent protective and antiarrhythmic effects when added to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. However, the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated.
