2차원 채널 내의 원형실린더를 지나는 유동에 대한 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 원형 실린더는 채널의 상하 중앙부에 위치하며, 원형실린더에서 멀리 떨어진 채널 내에는 포아제 유동이 존재한다. 스톡스 근사를 적용하고 유동의 고유함수 전개와 오차의 최소제곱법을 사용하여 유동장을 해석하였다. 해석의 결과로 유동함수와 압력분포 식을 구하였으며, 채널의 벽면과 원형실린더에 작용하는 압력 및 전단응력 분포를 계산하였다. 원형실린더로 인해 부가적으로 발생하는 압력 강하와 원형실린더가 받는 힘을 원형실린더의 반지름 길이의 함수로 계산하였으며, 대표적인 실린더 반지름 길이에 대하여 유선과 압력분포를 도시하였다.

In this study, we consider the characteristics of channel flow in the presence of an infinite streamwise array of equispaced identical rotating circular cylinders. This flow configuration can be regarded as a model representing a micro channel or an internal heat exchanger with cylindrical vortex generators. A numerical parametric study has been carried out by varying Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the cylinder diameter, and the gap between the cylinders and the channel wall for some selected angular speeds. An immersed boundary method was employed to facilitate implementing the cylinders on a Cartesian grid system. No-slip condition is employed at all solid boundaries including the cylinders, and the flow is assumed to be periodic in the streamwise direction. The presence of the rotating circular cylinders arranged periodically in the streamwise direction causes a significant topological change of the flow, leading to increase of mean friction on the channel walls. More quantitative results as well as qualitative physical explanations are presented to justify the effectiveness of rotating cylinders to modify flow topology, which might be used to enhance heat transfer on the channel walls.

Experimental investigations of the longitudinal vortices, which are produced by wing type vortex generators set up behind a circular cylinder in a rectangular channel, are presented. When the circular cylinder is set up in the rectangular channel, a horseshoe vortex is formed just upsteam of the circular cylinder. It generates a turbulent wake region behind the circular cylinder. Therefore, the region of the pressure loss behind the circular cylinder in increased and the size of the wake is small. These problems can be achieved by longitudinal vortices which are generated by wing-type vortex generator. In order to control the strength of longitudinal vortices, the angle of attack of the vortex generators is varied from 20 degree to 45, but the spacing between the vortex generators is fixed 6cm. The 3-dimensional mean velocity measurements are made using a five-hole probe. The vorticity field and streamwise velocity contour are obtained from the velocity field. The following results are obtained. Circulation strength is the maximum value when the angle of attack($\beta$) is $30^{\circ}$, and the vorticity field and streamwise velocity contour in case of $\beta$=$20^{\circ}$ show the trend similar to these in case of $\beta$=$30^{\circ}$, but do not in case of $\beta$=$45^{\circ}$.

In this study, we consider heat transfer enhancement in laminar channel flow by means of an infinite streamwise array of equispaced identical circular cylinders. This flow configuration can be regarded as a model representing a micro channel or an internal heat exchanger with cylindrical vortex generators. A numerical parametric study has been carried out by varying Reynolds number based on the bulk mean velocity and the cylinder diameter, and the gap between the cylinders and the channel wall. An immersed boundary method was employed to facilitate to implement the cylinders on a Cartesian grid system. No-slip condition is employed at all solid boundaries including the cylinders, and the flow is assumed to be periodic in the streamwise direction. Also, the Prandtl number is fixed as 0.7. For thermal boundary conditions on the solid surfaces, it is assumed that heat flux is constant on the channel walls, while the cylinder surfaces remain adiabatic. The presence of the circular cylinders arranged periodically in the streamwise direction causes a significant topological change of the flow, leading to heat transfer enhancement on the channel walls. The Nusselt number averaged on the channel wall is presented for the wide ranges of Reynolds number and the gap. A significant heat transfer enhancement is noticed when the gap is larger than 0.8, while the opposite is the case for smaller gaps. More quantitative results as well as qualitative physical explanations are presented to justify the effectiveness of varying the gap to enhance heat transfer from the channel walls.

The characteristics of mean velocity and turbulence have been analyzed in the circular open channel flow using PIV measurement data for a wide range of water depth. The measured data are fitted to a velocity distribution function over the whole depth of the open channel. Reynolds shear stress and mean velocity in wall unit are compared with the analytic models for fully-developed turbulent boundary layer. Both the mean velocity and Reynolds shear stress have different distributions from the two-dimensional boundary layer flow when the water depth increases over 50% since the influence of the side wall penetrates more deeply into the free surface. The cross-stream Reynolds normal stress also has considerably different distribution in view of its peak value and decreasing rate in the outer region whether the water depth is higher than 50% or not.

This experimental study was performed to find rpms of the impeller and the surface flow accelerator to make a uniform velocity vertical distribution in the circular water channel. PIV technique was employed to measure the water velocity profiles into the water depth from the free surface. The number of instantaneous velocity profiles was decomposed into mean and turbulence velocity components, and the distribution of velocity fluctuation and turbulence intensity were computed for each experimental condition. From these results, the velocity uniformity was quantitatively determined to present the flow quality in the measuring section of the circular water channel. It has been shown that the proper operation of the surface flow accelerator would make the uniform velocity profiles and reduce the velocity fluctuation near the free surface.

We described a simple and efficient fabrication method for generating microfluidic channels with a circular-cross sectional geometry by exploiting the reflow phenomenon of a thick positive photoresist. Initial rectangular shaped positive photoresist micropatterns on a silicon wafer, which were fabricated by a conventional photolithography process, were converted into a half-circular shape by tuning the temperature to around $105^{\circ}C$. Through optimization of the reflow conditions, we could obtain a perfect circular micropattern of the positive photoresist, and control the diameter in a range from 100 to 400 ${\mu}m$. The resultant convex half-circular photoresist was used as a template for fabricating a concave polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) through a replica molding process, and a circular PDMS microchannel was produced by bonding two half-circular PDMS layers. A variety of channel dimensions and patterns can be easily prepared, including straight, S-curve, X-, Y-, and T-shapes to mimic an in vivo vascular network. To inform an endothelial cell layer, we cultured primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) inside circular PDMS microchannels, and demonstrated successful cell adhesion, proliferation, and alignment along the channel.

For the first time, the present study has measured the velocity distribution function in circular open channel flow in a three-dimensional shape using a stereoscopic PIV system. For a given channel slope, water depth was varied from 30% to 80% of the channel diameter. Then, the characteristics of the velocity distribution function was compared according to the change of the water depth. Unlike a rectangular channel, the present experiment exhibited quite different shapes in the velocity distribution function whether the water depth is higher than 50% or not. Especially, the position of maximum velocity in the central and side wall changes in a different manner for the water depth above 50%. By differentiating the velocity distribution function, local wall friction coefficient was evaluated as a function of wall position. If the water depth goes down, the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the local wall friction coefficient increases, and the averaged value a1so increases.

채널 내 회전하는 원형 실린더가 주기적으로 존재하는 경우 회전하는 실린더를 지나는 유동에 의한 채널 내 유동 특성 및 채널 벽에서의 열전달 효율증진을 파악하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 유동 모델은 마이크로 채널, 열교환기 등에서 평판 사이의 열전달 효율을 높이기 위해 흔히 사용되는 와류 생성기의 가장 단순한 모델이다. 실린더와 채널 벽과의 간격 및 Re 수를 변화해가며 수치적 해석을 수행하였으며, 직교좌표계에서 채널 내 원형 실린더를 구현하기 위해 가상경계법이 적용 되었다. 채널 내 실린더가 회전하고 있는 경우, 실린더가 정지해 있는 경우에 비해 특히 실린더와 채널 벽과의 간격이 작아질수록 채널 벽에서의 열전달 효과는 더 높은 것으로 파악되었다.

본 논문은 육상 이동 위성(Land Mobile Satellite: LMS) 시스템의 통신 성능 향상을 위해 기존의 $2{\times}2$ MIMO 채널에서 $4{\times}4$ 채널로 확장할 수 있는 MIMO 원형 편파 급전 네트워크를 제안한다. 기존의 추가적인 통신 채널 확보를 위해서는 위성국에서 안테나 설치 공간상의 제약이 있기 때문에 이격 거리가 충분한 추가 위성국을 필요로 한다. 이로 인한 비용 및 MIMO 통신 채널의 한계 문제를 극복하기 위하여, 동일한 원형 편파 간에 이격 거리가 없이도 높은 격리성을 확보할 수 있는 MIMO 원형 편파 급전 네트워크를 제안하였다. 제안하는 급전 네트워크의 포트간 격리성과 각 포트의 매칭 상태를 수식적으로 증명하였고, $4{\times}4$ MIMO 채널의 통신 성능 향상을 채널 모델 측면에서 제시 및 확인하였다. MIMO 원형 편파 급전 네트워크를 원형 편파 패치 안테나 구조로 실제 제작하고 측정하여 7~10 dB의 다이버시티 이득을 얻었고, 약 1.8배로 채널 용량이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.
