The arteries are very important in cardiovascular system and easily adapt to varying flow and pressure conditions by enlarging or shrinking to meet the given hemodynamic demands. The blood flow in arteries is dominated by unsteady flow phenomena due to heart beating. In certain circumstances, however, unusual hemodynamic conditions cause an abnormal biological response and often induce circulatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis and inflammation. Therefore quantitative analysis of the unsteady pulsatile flow characteristics in the arterial blood vessels plays important roles in diagnosing these circulatory diseases. In order to verify the hemodynamic characteristics, in-vivo measurements of blood flow inside the extraembryonic arterial bifurcation cascade of chicken embryo were carried out using a micro-PIV technique. To analyze the unsteady pulsatile flow temporally, the (low images of RBCs were obtained using a high-speed CMOS camera at 250fps with a spatial resolution of $30{\mu}m\times30{\mu}m$ in the whole blood vessels. In this study, the unusual flow conditions such as flow separation or secondary flow were not observed in the arterial bifurcations. However, the vorticity has large values in the inner side of curvature of vessels. In addition, the mean velocity in the arterial blood vessel was decreased and pulsating frequency obtained by FFT analysis of velocity data extracted in front of the each bifurcation was also decreased as the bifurcation cascaded.

Secondary instability in an obstructed channel is investigated using direct numerical simulation. Flow geometry under consideration is a plane channel with two-dimensional thin obstacles mounted symmetrically in the vertical direction and periodically in the streamwise direction. Flow separation occurs at the tip of the sharp obstacles. As a basic flow, we consider an unsteady periodic solution which results from Hopf bifurcation. Depending on the Reynolds number, the basic flow becomes unstable to three-dimensional disturbances, which results in a chaotic flow. Numerical results obtained are consistent with experimental findings currently available.

$\underline{In\;vitro}$ velocity measurements were made using both the pulsed Doppler ultrasound (PDU) machine and laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) system in order to investigate the flow characteristics near the aortic bifurcation. Velocities measured from the PDU machine was in good agreement with those from the LDA. The flow in the daughter branches was three-dimensional with a secondary flow. The oscillating wall shear stress with this secondary fluid motion is well correlated with the localization of the atherosclerosis.

의료영상을 기반으로 한 경동맥 분기부 혈류유동장 전산유체역학 해석의 수행에 있어 입구부 경계 조건 도출을 위한 환자 특정 시간 변동 상세 유속 분포를 얻는 것은 일반적으로 쉽지 않다. 그러므로 대부분의 경우 계측된 혈류량을 바탕으로 이상적인 축대칭 완전발달 유속 분포를 적용하게 된다. 그러나 MRI로 직접 계측한 총경동맥 혈류 유속분포를 적용한 기존의 연구에서 입구부 유속분포 경계 조건이 경동맥 분기부 혈류 유동장 해석 결과에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 보였으며, 특히 계측된 혈류 유속분포가 전형적인 Dean type 유동과 다른 독특한 형태를 가진다는 것을 보고하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 독특한 형태의 유속 분포가 경동맥 입구부 형상의 이차곡률에 의해 생성됨을 보이고, 직접 경동맥 분기부 유동장 CFD 해석의 경계 조건으로 적용하여 이의 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 통하여 충분한 길이의 실제 경동맥 입구부 형상을 적용 할 경우, 입구부 경계 조건의 영향이 의료영상으로 부터 혈관 형상을 도출하는 과정에서 불가피하게 유기되는 영상 처리 오차에 의한 영향에 비해 상대적으로 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the secondary buckling behaviour and mode-coupling of spherical caps under uniformly external pressure. The analysis makes use of a rotational finite shell element on the basis of strain-displacement relations according to Koiter's shell theory (Small Finite Deflections). The post-buckling behaviours after a bifurcation point are analyzed precisely by considering multi-mode coupling between several higher order harmonic wave numbers: and on the way of post-buckling path the positive definiteness of incremental stiffness matrix of uncoupled modes is examined step by step. The secondary buckling point that has zero eigen-value of incremental stiffness matrix and the corresponding secondary mode are obtained, moreover, the secondary post-buckling path is traced.

The objective of the current study is to understand steady 3-dimensional flow phenomena in a bifurcated duct experimentally. A bifurcation model is fabricated with transparent acrylic resin to visualize the whole flow field with the PIV system. The gray level cross-correlation method is applied to the image processing algorithm. The subpixel and the area interpolation methods are used to obtain the final velocity vectors. The finite volume predictions are used to analyze the flow patterns in the bifurcation model. The results of the computer simulation and the PIV experiment for three-dimensional flow show the recirculation zone and the formation of the paired secondary flow distal to the apex of the bifurcation model. The results obtained with the two methods also show that the branch flow strongly strikes the inner wall due to the inertial effect and accompanied helical motion as it flows toward the outer wall.

This paper predicted nonlinear dynamic responses of a cantilevered carbon nanotube(CNT) resonator incorporating the electrostatic forces and van der Waals interactions between the CNT cantilever and ground plane. The structural model of CNT includes geometric and inertial nonlinearities to investigate various phenomena of nonlinear responses of the CNT due to the electrostatic excitation. In order to solve this problem, we used Galerkin's approximation and the numerical integration techniques. As a result, the CNT nano-resonator shows the softening effect through saddle-node bifurcation near primary resonance frequency with increasing the applied AC and DC voltages. Also we can predict nonlinear secondary resonances such as superharmonic and subharmonic resonances. The superharmonic resonance of the nano-resonator is influenced by applied AC voltage. The period-doubling bifurcation leads to the subharmonic resonance which occurs when the nano-resonator is actuated by electrostatic forces as parametric excitation.

Flow instability is investigated in a two-dimensional channel with thin baffles placed symmetrically in the vertical direction and periodically in the streamwise dircetion. At low Reynolds numbers, the flow is steady and symmetric. Above a critical Reynolds number, the steady flow undergoes a Hopf bifurcation leading to unsteady periodic flow. As Reynolds number further increases, we observe the onset of secondary instability. At high Reynolds numbers, the two-dimensional periodic flow becomes three dimmensional. To identify the onset of secondary instability, we carry out Floquet stability analysis. We obseved the transition to 3D flow at a Reynolds number of about 125. Also, we computed dominant spanwise wavenumbers near the critical Reynolds number, and visualized vortical structures associated with the most unstable spanwise wave.

본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 개수로 분류부에서 분류수로 폭과 유량비 변화에 따른 흐름특성을 파악하였다. 2차류 영향을 고려한 분류부 수치모의시 흐름분포를 실험결과에 더 정확하고 안정하게 모의가능하다. 분류수로내 통수능을 감소시키는 흐름분리구역과 2차류의 상호 작용에 의한 흐름정체 효과는 분류유량비를 감소시킨다. 분류부 상류 유입유량과 유속이 감소할수록 수로폭 변화에 따른 분류유량비 변화가 더 크다. 동일 하류단 경계조건에서 분류수로 폭을 감소시킬 때, 본류 하류부 프루우드 수-분류유량비 관계식의 변화율은 -2.4843~-2.6675로 유사하게 나타난다. 동일 분류유량비 조건에서 분류수로 폭이 감소할수록 수축계수는 증가하고, 흐름분리구역의 폭은 감소한다. 분류수로 폭을 증가시킬 경우 분류부 상류 유입유량이 적을수록, 그리고 분류부 상류 유입량을 증가시킬 경우 분류수로 폭이 좁을수록 흐름분리구역 폭 감소율이 더 크다. 동일 상류 유입유량 조건에서 분류수로 폭이 감소할수록 분류유량비, 흐름분리구역의 길이와 폭은 감소한다.
