Controlling fluid flows in micro scales is a non-trivial issue among those who are involved in designing lab-on-chips. Pumping and mixing by using electrokinetic principles has been popular in that the method requires a few parts and it is easy to control. This paper explains the basic mechanism of the electroosmotic flows caused by AC together with presenting some numerical results. In particular, the fundamental, physical idea involved in the mechanism will be illustrated in terms of the kinematic aspect. Since the electroosmotic flows are mainly driven by the motion of ions, we also demonstrate the ion motions by using the numerical-visualization method.

본 연구에서는 상이한 방법을 통하여 제조된 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌 (ultra high molecular polyethylene, UHMWPE)/카올린 복합재료의 마모 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 카올린 입자는 중합충전(in-situ polymerization)법과 분말 혼합법의 두 가지 상이한 방법을 통하 UHMWPE와 복합화되었으며 특히 분말 혼합법에서는 입자상으로 구성된 두 재료의 혼합 방법에 따른 입자 분산 및 마모 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 마모실험에서 입자 충전에 의하여 내마모성이 크게 향상되었는데 연삭마모가 지배적인 마모기구였으며, 중합충전법이 내마모성 향상에 있어서 분말혼합법에 비하여 효과적이었다. 또한 충전된 입자의 분산 상태와 계면 특성이 내마모성 향상에 중요한 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer. In this non-gravity fluidized dryer the fluidized zone is produced by two paddles in mixer, which maximizes the surface area of materials and then heated air through the guiding panels dehumidify them. This can conduct the drying process quickly and control moisture contents to lower limits. The ventilation system is closed loop system, which can be changeable to open system, and can be used as a multi-purposed dryer in which mixing, drying, granulating and cooling process is conducted. In order to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer, in the first fundamental experiments were performed to mixing accuracy and then the other parts of dryer and control system were examined to check whether they were designed properly and operated harmoniously with mixer. Also the preparatory experiments were fulfilled to examine the efficiency and reliability of the dryer. Lastly, on the basis of preparatory experiments, performance test for the non-gravity fluidized dryer carried out for the variation of the initial moisture contents, desired moisture contents, heated air velocity and heating temperature.

본 논문에서는, 자기유체역학(MHD)을 기반으로 마이크로 채널 내부에 다중 와류 유동을 발생시키는 새로운 형태의 카오스 마이크로 믹서를 제안한다. 제안된 마이크로 믹서의 마이크로 채널 내부에는 양측면과 바닥면에 전극들이 배치되어 있다. 배치된 전극들에 인가되는 전압 조건에 따라 다양한 형태로 로렌츠 힘이 유도되며, 이렇게 유도된 로렌츠 힘은 마이크로 채널 내부 유체의 추진 및 혼합을 야기할 수 있다. 제안된 MHD 마이크로 믹서의 혼합 양상을 평가하기 위해 3 차원 전산유체역학 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 유동 조건에 대해 MHD 마이크로 믹서의 혼합 성능을 평가하였다.

Flow and transport at fracture intersections, and their effects on network scale transport, are investigated in three-dimensional random fracture networks. Fracture intersection mixing rules complete mixing and streamline routing are defined in terms of fluxes normal to the intersection line between two fractures. By analyzing flow statistics and particle transfer probabilities distributed along fracture intersections, it is shown that for various network structures with power law size distributions of fractures, the choice of intersection mixing rule makes comparatively little difference in the overall simulated solute migration patterns. The occurrence and effects of local flows around an intersection (local flow cells) are emphasized. Transport simulations at fracture intersections indicate that local flow circulations can arise from variability within the hydraulic head distribution along intersections, and from the internal no flow condition along fracture boundaries. These local flow cells act as an effective mechanism to enhance the nondiffusive breakthrough tailing often observed in discrete fracture networks. It is shown that such non-Fickian (anomalous) solute transport can be accounted for by considering only advective transport, in the framework of a continuous time random walk model. To clarify the effect of forest environmental changes (forest type difference and clearcut) on water storage capacity in soil and stream flow, watershed had been investigated.

Structure of edge flame established in a mixing layer, formed between two uniformly flowing pure $CH_4$ and pure $O_2$ streams, is numerically investigated by employing a detailed methane-oxidation mechanism. The numerical results exhibited the most outstanding distinction of using pure oxygen in the fuel-rich premixed-flame front, through which the carbon-containing compound is found to leak mainly in the form of CO instead of HC compounds, contrary to the rich $CH_4-air$ premixed flames in which $CH_4$ as well as $C_2H_m$ leakage can occur. Moreover, while passing through the rich premixed flame, a major route for CO production, in addition to the direct $CH_4$ decomposition, is found to be $C_2H_m$ compound formation followed by their decomposition into CO. Beyond the rich premixed flame front, CO is further oxidized into $CO_2$ in a broad diffusion-flame-like reaction zone located around moderately fuel-rich side of the stoichiometric mixture by the OH radical from the fuel-lean premixed-flame front. Since the secondary CO production through $C_2H_m$ decomposition has a relatively strong reaction intensity, an additional heat-release branch appears and the resulting heat-release profile can no longer be seen as a tribrachial structure.

We present a simulation of a hybrid Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes / Large Eddy Simulation (RANS/LES) based on detached eddy simulation (DES) for a Burrows and Kurkov supersonic planar mixing experiment. The preliminary simulation results are checked in order to validate the numerical computing capability of the current code. Mesh refinement studies are performed to identify the minimum grid size required to accurately capture the flow physics. A detailed investigation of the turbulence/chemistry interaction is carried out for a nine species 19-step hydrogen-air reaction mechanism. In contrast to the instantaneous value, the simulated time-averaged result inside the reactive shear layer underpredicts the maximum rise in $H_2O$ concentration and total temperature relative to the experimental data. The reason for the discrepancy is described in detail. Combustion parameters such as OH mass fraction, flame index, scalar dissipation rate, and mixture fraction are analyzed in order to study the flame structure.

기체 투과도 및 기계적 강도가 높은 고분자 비대칭막을 상분리법으로 제조하기 위해 막 제조 메카니즘을 규명하는 연구를 수행하였다. 기본적인 연구가 많이 이루어진 폴리스티렌, 이에 비해 용매와의 관계가 덜 알려져 있는 폴리아미드이미드인 Torlon과 3,3'4,4'-benzophenontetracarboxylic diahmydride와 1,4-phenylene diarnine로 이루어진 폴리이미드를 여러 용매에 녹여 얻어진 캐스팅 용액으로부터 비대칭막을 제조하였다. 용매와 비용매와의 혼합열과 막 구조의 관계로부터, 막의 구조를 결정하는 데에는 용매와 비용매의 혼합열이 크게 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과로부터 폴리술폰 막의 구조를 용매 첨가제를 사용하여 조절하였다. 캐스팅 고분자 용액이 비용매를 만날 때 용매와 비용매와의 혼합열이 두 물질의 교환 속도에 영향을 미쳐 결국에는 막의 구조에 영향을 미치는 데에 대한 이론적인 고찰도 아울러 수행하였다.

Turbulent mixing in buoyant flows is an essential mechanism involved in many scenarios related to nuclear safety in nuclear power plants. Comprehensive understanding and accurate predictions of turbulent buoyant flows in the reactor are of crucial importance, due to the function of mitigating the potential detrimental consequences during postulated accidents. The present study uses URANS methodology to investigate the buoyancy-influenced flows in the reactor pressure vessel under the main steam line break accident scenarios. With a particular focus on the influence of turbulent heat flux closure models, various combinations of two turbulence models and three turbulent heat flux models are utilized for the numerical simulations of three ROCOM tests which have different characteristic features in terms of the flow rate and fluid density difference between loops. The simulation results are compared with experimental measurements of the so-called mixing scalar in the downcomer and at the core inlet. The study shows that the anisotropic turbulent heat flux models are able to improve the accuracy of the predictions under conditions of strong buoyancy whilst in the weak buoyancy case, a major role is played by the selected turbulence models with essentially a negligible influence of the turbulent heat flux closure models.
