In this study, flow in a porous medium is analyzed using a computer-extended perturbation series solution. The flow is modelled as a creeping flow in a periodically constricted channel. The channel walls have a sinusoidally varying width and the flow is analyzed in terms of its vorticity and stream functions in the Stokes flow regime. The perturbation series in terms of a small parameter, average width to length ratio, is extended with a computer resulting in purely asymptotic series and Pade summation is used to obtain final results. Resulting flow shows flow separations in the widening section and immobile zones in the widest section of the flow regime with reattachment in the narrowing section. Analysis of the flow separation phenomena resulted in a correlation between the two geometric parameters of the channel walls to predict the onset of flow separation in the Stokes flow regime.

다공성 매질내의 거품(foam)은 가스상의 이동성을 감소시키는 특성을 가진다. 이러한 성질은 석유산업에서 중력으로 인한 유체유동을 방지하거나 산(acid)을 이용하여 유정(wellbore) 근처 유체투과율이 낮은 지층을 처리하는데도 사용될 뿐만 아니라, 지하 대수층의 오염물 회수율을 높이는 데도 사용된다. 최근의 연구결과를 통하여 다공성 매질 내 거품의 유동은 유동영역(flow regime)에 의하여 크게 영향을 받는다는 사실을 규명하였다. 이 논문은 실험자료와 수치해석기법을 이용하여, 지하 오염물질 정화를 위한 거품 유동분할 작업의 타당성에 관한 연구이다. 두 종류의 유체 투과율(k=9.1과 30.4 darcy)을 가지고 실험한 결과, 대수층 조건과 비슷한 실험환경에서도 정상상태의 거품은 유동영역에 따라 다른 성질을 보인다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 거품의 질이 낮은 영역(low-quality regime)에 있는 거품은 shear thinning 거동을 보이며 고질영역(high-quality regime)에 있는 거품은 Newtonian 거동과 유사하였다. 이상의 실험 결과를 유체투과율이 서로 다른 두 지층에 대하여 거품의 유동분할을 예측하기 위하여 간단한 수치해석 모델을 개발하였다. 수치해석의 결과로부터 고질영역에 있는 거품은 유동분할 양상을 보였지만 저질영역에 있는 거품은 그렇지 않았다. 민감도 분석의 결과 고질영역에서의 유동분할은 각 지층들의 한계 모세관압, 즉 거품이 생성되고 유지되기 위한 최소 모세관압에 의해 좌우된다는 사실을 확인하였다.

Various experimental data, including mixing areas, cross correlation factors, surface flow patterns on nozzle walls, and far field noise spectra, was used to draw a noise control mechanism in a supersonic jet. In the underexpanded case, mixing of the jet air with ambient air was significantly enhanced as presented before, and mixing noise was also dramatically reduced. Screech tones, in the overexpanded case, were effectively suppressed by trailing edge modifications, although mixing enhancement was not noticeable. From mixing and noise performance of nozzles with modified trailing edges, enhancing mixing through streamwise vortices seems an effective way to reduce mixing noise in the underexpanded flow regime. However, screech tones in the overespanded flow regime is well controlled or suppressed by making shock cells and/or spanwise large scale structures irregular and/or less organized by a proper selection of trailing edges. The noise field in the overexpanded flow regime was greatly affected by the symmetricity of the nozzle exit geometry. In the underexpanded flow regime, the effects of the symmetricity of the nozzle exit on mixing were negligible.

Condensation heat transfer coefficients in a 7.92 mm inside diameter copper smooth tube were obtained experimentally for R22, R134a, and R410A. Working conditions were in the range of $30-40^{\circ}C$ condensation temperature, $95-410 kg/m^2s$ mass flux, and 0.15-0.85 vapor quality. The experimental data were compared with the eight existing correlations for an annular flow regime. Based on the heat-momentum analogy, a condensation heat transfer coefficients correlation for the annular flow regime was developed. The Breber et al. flow regime map was used to discern flow pattern and the Muller-Steinhagen & Heck pressure drop correlation was used for the term of the proposed correlation. The proposed correlation provided the best predicted performance compared to the eight existing correlations and its root mean square deviation was less than 8.7%.

A study of counter-current two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels has been performed. Two-phase flow regimes were experimentally investigated in a 760mm long and 100mm wide test section with 2.0 and 5.0mm gap widths. The resulting flow regime maps were compared with the existing transition criteria. The experimental data and the transition criteria of the models showed relatively good agreement. However, the discrepancies between the experimental data and the model predictions of the flow regime transition become pronounced as the gap width increased. As the gap width increased the transition gas superficial velocities increased. The critical void fraction for the bubbly-to-slug transition was observed to be about 0.25. The two-phase distribution parameter for the slug flow was larger for the narrower channel. The uncertainties in the distribution parameter could lead to a disagreement in slug-to-churn transition between the experimental findings and the transition criteria. For the transition from churn to annular flow the effect of liquid superficial velocity was found to be insignificant.

최근 기후변화 현실화로 강우 발생 시기와 패턴이 변화하면서 유역에 따라 유황이 변화하고 있는 실정이다. 이로 인한 하천 유황의 장기적 변화는 수중생태계의 구조와 기능에 커다란 변화를 야기한다. 하지만 국내에서는 기후변화와의 연계성은 물론, 유량변화와 생태학적 특성을 포함한 수생태계 관점에서의 분석은 대부분 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화로 인한 현재-미래의 유황 변화가 만경강 하도와 홍수터 영역에서 감돌고기의 서식환경에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 현재보다 미래에 홍수와 가뭄 등 극한 수문 조건이 심화됨을 확인하였고, 특히 크기, 빈도, 지속시간, 시기와 변화율 등을 비교 분석함으로써 유황 특성의 변화를 명확히 파악하였다. 그리고 유황 특성과 물리서식처 해석을 연계함으로써 기후변화로 인해 미래 생태환경 변동에 대한 위험성이 크게 증대될 것이라는 결과 제시가 가능하였다.

Void fraction is an important parameter in the oil industry. This quantity is necessary for volume rate measurement in multiphase flows. In this study, the void fraction percentage was estimated precisely, independent of the flow regime in gas-liquid two-phase flows by using ${\gamma}-ray$ attenuation and a multilayer perceptron neural network. In all previous studies that implemented a multibeam ${\gamma}-ray$ attenuation technique to determine void fraction independent of the flow regime in two-phase flows, three or more detectors were used while in this study just two NaI detectors were used. Using fewer detectors is of advantage in industrial nuclear gauges because of reduced expense and improved simplicity. In this work, an artificial neural network is also implemented to predict the void fraction percentage independent of the flow regime. To do this, a multilayer perceptron neural network is used for developing the artificial neural network model in MATLAB. The required data for training and testing the network in three different regimes (annular, stratified, and bubbly) were obtained using an experimental setup. Using the technique developed in this work, void fraction percentages were predicted with mean relative error of <1.4%.

Characteristics of flow regime transitions in inclined upwards gas-liquid two-phase flow have been investigated based upon a statistical analysis of instantaneous pressure drop curves through an orifice. The probability density functions of the curves indicate distinct patterns depending upon two-phase flow regime, which are very similar to those of horizontal two-phase. The dimensionless intensity of fluctuations of the pressure drops sharply change as the flow transitions such as plug-slug, pseudo slug-slug and annular-slug take place. The effects of inclination angle on the flow regime transitions have been also investigated. The results show that the method to identify the flow pattern based upon the statistical analysis of instantaneous pressure drops is suitable for inclined flow as well as horizontal flow.

This paper explains how to correctly measure the drag coefficient of a circular cylinder in wind tunnels with large blockage ratios and for the sub-critical to the super-critical flow regimes. When dealing with large blockage ratios, the drag has to be corrected for wall constraints. Different formulations for correcting blockage effect are compared for each flow regime based on drag measurements of smooth circular cylinders performed in a wind tunnel for three different blockage ratios. None of the correction model known in the literature is valid for all the flow regimes. To optimize the correction and reduce the scatter of the results, different correction models should be combined depending on the flow regime. In the sub-critical regime, the best results are obtained using Allen and Vincenti's formula or Maskell's theory with ${\varepsilon}$=0.96. In the super-critical regime, one should prefer using Glauert's formula with G=0.6 or the model of Modi and El-Sherbiny. The change in the formulations appears at the flow transition with a variation of the wake pattern when passing from sub-critical to super-critical flow regimes. This parameter being not considered in the known blockage corrections, these theories are not valid for all the flow regimes.

The present experimental and numerical investigations are performed for the characteristics of transitional flow in a concentric annulus with a diameter ratio of 0.52, whose outer cylinder is stationary and inner one rotating. The pressure losses and skin- friction coefficients have been measured for the fully developed flow of water and glycerine-water solution (44%) with the inner cylinder rotating at speed of 0∼600 nm, respectively. The transitional flow has been examined by the measurement of pressure losses to reveal the relation of the Reynolds and Rossby numbers with the skin-friction coefficients. The occurrence of transition has been checked by the gradient changes of pressure losses and skin-friction coefficients with respect to the Reynolds numbers. The increasing rate of skin-friction coefficient due to the rotation is uniform for laminar flow regime, whereas it is suddenly reduced for transitional flow regime and, then, it is gradually declined for turbulent flow regime.
