In the present study a new measurement technique has been developed, which uses an ultrasonic transmission signal in order to identify the vertical two phase flow pattern. The ultrasonic measurement system developed in the present study not only provides the information required for the identification of vertical two phase flow patterns but also makes real time identification possible. Various vertical two phase flow patterns such as bubbly, slug, churn, annular flow etc. have been accurately identified with the present ultrasonic measurement system under atmospheric condition. In addition, the present test apparatus can practically simulate the ultrasonic propagation characteristics under high temperature and high pressure systems. Therefore, it is expected that the present ultrasonic flow pattern identification technique could be applicable to the vertical two phase flow systems under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

Vertical fence has the coherent flow structure in front of the fence. In the present study, the wake change due to the flow separator in front of the vertical fence was experimentally investigated. Quantitative method was applied to study the separated shear flow field. The results show the flow separator changes the downstream shear flow and alters the curvature of separated shear layer As the freestream velocity increased, the reattachment length also increased.

This experimental study was conducted to figure out the characteristics of convective heat transfer in non boiling vertical downward flow with polymer additives. This experiment was studied in 26mm diameter, 800mm heating length and $1{\times}10^5W/m^2$ heat flux. The polymer concentration ranged from 0PPM to 500PPM with corresponding from Reynolds number $3.3{\times}10^4$ to $6.8{\times}10^4$ in non boiling vertical downward flow. Experimental results show that the characteristics of convective heat transfer was a strong function of polymer concentration and it has decreased with increasing the polymer concentration in non boiling vertical downward flow.

A commercial CFD code is applied to analyze the 3-D viscous flow field within vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump including impeller of centrifugal pump with 6 blades and guide vain with 11 blades. The numerical analysis of vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump is performed by changing flow rate from $8\;to\;26\;m^{3}/h$ at the constant 3500rpm. The characteristics such as total pressure coefficient, total head, water horse power, power efficiency are represented according to flow rate changing. In the future, we will need to perform flow calculation of vertical multi-stage centrifugal pump by considering meridional shape of impeller.

2차원 채널 내의 수직 평판을 지나는 유동에 대한 이론적 연구를 수행하였다. 수직 평판은 채널의 상하 중앙부에 위치하며, 수직 평판에서 멀리 떨어진 채널 내에는 포아제 유동이 존재한다. 스톡스 근사를 적용하고 고유함수 전개와 점 배열 방법을 사용하여 유동장을 해석하였다. 해석의 결과로 유동 함수와 압력분포식을 구하였으며, 채널의 벽면과 수직 평판에 작용하는 압력 및 전단응력 분포를 계산 하였다. 또한, 수직 평판으로 인해 부가적으로 발생하는 압력 강하와 수직 평판이 받는 힘을 수직 평판 길이의 함수로 계산하였으며, 대표적인 수직 평판의 길이에 대하여 유선과 압력분포도를 도시하였다. 또한, 작은 레이놀즈 수가 유동에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 레이놀즈 수가 작은 층류유동의 경우에 대하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

급경사 산지하천 수충부의 호안은 대부분 콘크리트 옹벽으로 되어있다. 표면이 매끄러운 콘크리트 옹벽호안은 유속을 더 강화시키기 때문에 수충부 홍수피해의 원인이 되기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 개수로의 한 측벽에 설치한 정사각형 단면의 세로돌출줄눈이 흐름저항에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 수리실험을 수행하였다. 돌출줄눈의 설치간격은 무차원 돌출줄눈 간격 ${\lambda}_{nv}$를 기준으로 조도유형 d형과 k형을 포함하도록 설계하였다. 흐름의 Froude 수는0.81~1.12의 범위였다. 흐름저항은 돌출줄눈의 설치간격과 유량에 좌우되었다. ${\lambda}_{nv}$가 9일 때 흐름저항이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 세로돌출줄눈은 유량이 증가하면 d형 조도에서는 흐름저항을 감소시켰으나 k형 조도에서는 흐름저항을 증가시켰다. 흐름저항의 증가폭은 ${\lambda}_{nv}$이 9~12의 범위에서 상대적으로 더 크게 나타났다. 세로돌출줄눈에 의한 흐름저항은 대부분 형상저항에 의한 것이며 그 등가조도높이는 수심규모로 발생할 수 있고 흐름저항에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다. 측벽의 세로돌출줄눈은 흐름저항을 증가시키고 최대유속의 발생위치를 수로의 횡단면 중앙방향으로 이동시키는 수단으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Experiment and numerical investigation are performed on swirling water flow in a vertical circular tube. This kind of flow is used in heat exchangers, combustion chambers, thermal power plants, and other mechanical equipment to move slurries or to convey materials. However, limited information on swirling flow in vertical circular tubes is available. In the current paper, the three-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV) technique is employed to compare the measured velocity profiles of water along the vertical circular tube with those of non-swirl flow. In addition, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code was applied to calculation of the flow velocities with swirl.

The present study investigated the two-phase flow characteristics of refrigerant R-22 in T-branch with horizontal and vertical inlet tube The key experimental parameters were the orientation of inlet and branch tubes (horizontal and vertical), diameter ratio of branch tube to inlet tube (1 and 0.61), inlet mass flux (200~500 kg/$m^2$s) and inlet quality (0.1~0.4). Predicted pressure profile agreed with the measured data within 25.4%. The flow distribution ratio decreased as the mass flux increased. The flow distribution ratio decreased by 12~25% as the tube diameter ratio decreased from 1 to 0.61, and decreased by 38~47% as the orientation of branch changed from horizontal to vertical upward for horizontal inlet tubes. As the orientation of inlet tube changed from horizontal to vertical upward for horizontal branch, the flow distribution ratio increased by 15~68%, but the quality in the branch tube decreased by 28~92% due to phase separation.

Two-phase flow exists in many industrial components. Characteristics of two-phase flow have been studied by many researchers; however, a further study of the two-phase is required for flow-induced vibration. Characteristics of two-phase flow were measured by force sensor at the end of a vertical pipe. The predominant frequency of fluctuation was obtained for various speeds of flow pattern. A correlation to slug frequency for horizontal flow was obtained by Heywood & Richardson (1979), while Legius et al (1997) for vertical flow. A coefficient based on the correlation is estimated and then compared to the existing ones. The existing empirical formulations for average void fraction were proposed by Wallis (1969), Zuber et al (1967) and Ishii (1970). In the present result, flow parameters, such as flow quality and real velocity, are evaluated with void fraction.

Narrow rectangular channels are employed in nuclear research reactors that use plate-type nuclear fuels, high heat-flux compact heat exchangers, and high-performance micro-electronics cooling systems. Two-phase flow in narrow rectangular channels is important, and it needs to be better understood because it is considerably different than that in round tubes. In this study, mechanistic models were developed for the flow regime transition criteria for various flow regimes in co-current air-water two-phase flow for vertical downward flow inside a narrow rectangular channel. The newly developed criteria were compared to a flow regime map of downward air-water two-phase flow inside a narrow rectangular channel with a 2.35-mm gap width under ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Overall, the proposed model showed good agreement with the experimental data.
