We present a continuous cell separator that achieves density-dependent and size-independent cell separation based on the net force of gravity and buoyancy forces on the cells in dissimilar density fluids. Previous cell separators are, based on the size or dielectrophoretic property of the cells and, are suitable for size-dependent and density-independent cell separation. However, these properties can make it difficult to collect the same types of cells with the same density but with size variations. The present separator, however, is capable of collecting the same types of cells based on the cell density in the fluid. Regardless of cell size, the proposed chip isolates low density cells, (white blood cells, or WBCs) at the upper outlet while obtaining high-density cells (red blood cells, or RBCs) from the lower outlet based on density. Efficiency levels for separation of WBCs and RBCs were $90.9{\pm}9.1%$ and $86.4{\pm}1.99%$, respectively. The present separator therefore has the potential for use in the pretreatment of whole blood.

본 논문은 파티클을 이용하여 다상의 기체에 대한 형상 제어를 수행하는 기법을 제안한다. 유체를 하나의 목표 형상으로 변형시키기 위한 힘만 샐에 적용하는 기존 연구와 달리, 본 논문에서는 단일 밀도장내에서 파티클마다 다른 목표 형상으로 가고자 하는 힘을 정의하여 서로 다른 성질의 유체를 구성하는 파티클이 각자의 목표 형상으로 진행하는 동시에 상호작용이 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, 목표 형상 내부에서의 분산력을 정의하여 파티클들이 목표 형상에 도달한 후에도 목표 형상의 세밀한 특징을 표현하기 위해 멈추지 않고 고르게 분산되게 하였다.

Physical characteristics of a magneto-rheological(MR) fluid can be influenced by a magnetic field. In the present study, the behaviors of MR fluid are visualized and the shear stresses are measured under the magnetic field for density 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 $g/cm^3$, and viscosity 100, 1000 and 10000cp. When the magnetic field is applied, particles of MR fluid are arranged along lines of magnetic field. It is observed that the flow pattern of MR fluid under the magnetic field is different from that of MR fluid without the magnetic field. Shear stress of MR fluids under the magnetic field changes significantly. Shear stress by the magnetic field increases the shape of a quadratic equation. When the density changes from $1300kg/m^3$ to $1700kg/m^3$ at 2.0A, the shear stress increases about 33%.

본 연구는 타원형 물체가 유체 중에서 침강할 때 물체의 형상과 밀도에 따른 침강특성을 분석하는 것이며, 이로 인해 종단속도에 미치는 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 복잡한 형태의 물체를 타원기둥으로 단순화하였고, 낮은 Reynolds 수(=0.5~100)에 대하여 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 침강형태가 종단속도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 수치해석 검증을 통해 정확하고 효율적인 격자 크기를 결정하였다. 정확한 분석을 위해 단순히 종단속도의 변화를 본 것이 아니라 진동하지 않은 물체의 이론적 속도와 비교하여 이와 얼마나 차이가 있는지를 확인하였다. 수치해석 결과 장단축비에 따라 물체의 침강특성이 크게 변하였고 그 경향은 밀도비에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 또한 각의 진동에 대한 진폭과 진동수가 물체의 침강속도에 영향을 주는 것을 확인하고 그 원인에 대해서도 연구하였다.

Internal solitary waves between two-stratified fluid layers are examined. Hamilton's principle is used to derive a governing equation. The wave speed-wave height relation is obtained and this agrees well with the experiment. The wave profiles obtained also agree well with the experimental result. There exist minimum and maximum wave speeds depending on the depth ratio and the density ratio of two layers. The KdV equation overpredicts the wave speed for a given wave height and underpredict the wave height for a given wave speed.

교차하는 전기장과 자기장으로 플라즈마를 방전하고, 이온 빔을 효과적으로 가속하는 원형 이온 빔 소스를 개발하였다. 방위각 방향으로 비대칭적인 중성 가스와 전자 빔의 공급으로 이온 빔 소스에서 불안정하고 불균일한 플라즈마가 방전되어, 이온 소스의 효율을 저하시킨다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 이미지를 이용하여 이온 소스 내부에서의 중성입자 밀도 분포를 측정하는 방법을 개발하였다. 자기장의 방향이 서로 다른 방전조건에서 얻어지는 한 쌍의 플라즈마 이미지로부터 티코노프 정형화 기법을 이용하여 방위각에 대한 중성입자의 밀도 분포를 재구성한다. 본 재구성 기법을 이용하여 얻어진 밀도 분포는 유체흐름 등가회로 모델을 바탕으로 한 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 중성입자 밀도의 공간분포는 인가 전압, 자기장의 세기 및 유량과 같은 방전조건의 변화에 크게 영향을 받지 않고, 가스 공급부의 내부 구조에 의해 결정되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 등가회로 모델을 이용하여 균일한 공간분포를 얻기 위한 공급부 설계를 수행하였다.

The keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium constant, K, of ethyl acetoacetate in compressed and supercritical carbon dioxide was determined by using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy at three different temperatures. In order to investigate the effect of solvent density, the $CO_{2}$ pressure was systematically changed at a constant temperature. As the $CO_{2}$ density is increased, the amount of keto tautomer is increased, causing the K value to decrease. The modified lattice fluid hydrogen bonding theory has been applied to investigate the effect of density on the K.

This study investigated the diel and tidal distributions of the two mysids, Archaeomysis kokuboi and Acanthomysis nakazatoi, in relation to their growth stages in the sandy surf zone of Yongil Bay, located on the southeastern part of Korean Peninsula. Sampling was conducted with a sledge net at every two hours for almost 24 hours at three sites: water edge, water surface and sand bottom both in 1-m deep water areas. The abundance of Archaeomysis kokuboi juveniles was too low to count both in day and night samples. While there was no difference in immature A. kokuboi abundance between day and night in the bottom or water edge, that at the water surface was significantly higher at night than daytime. The abundance of A. kokuboi adults, especially of males, in the bottom was significantly higher in daytime than night and no individuals appeared to the water surface either day or night. In comparison, the abundance of Acanthomysis nakazatoi juveniles between day and night did not differ significantly at all the three sites, with the highest number being distributed in the bottom. The abundance of immatures between day and night also did not differ significantly and no individuals appeared to the water surface either day or night. The abundance of A. nakazatoi adults, especially females, in the bottom was significantly higher at night than daytime and there was no significant difference in abundance between day and night in the other sites. There was also no significant difference in abundances of the two species between ebb and flood tides, except for A. kokuboi immatures which appeared significantly more during the ebb tides at the water surface. Overall, the distribution of the two sympatric species, A. kokuboi and A. nakazatoi, was not the same in the sandy surf zone. Its difference seems to depend on their stages of growth, and the change in their abundance may be influenced more by diurnal rhythms than tidal effects. The population density of A. nakazatoi in the sandy surf zone was much higher than that of A. kokuboi, and relatively higher densities in all growth stages of the former were found in the sandy bottom ranging from juveniles to adults. These results indicate that A. nakazatoi has exceedingly better ability of sand burrowing even from the juvenile stage, and thus is an ecologically better adapted species in the sandy surf zone than another sympatric species, A. kokuboi.

이차원 노즐을 통하여 저밀도 환경으로 팽창하는 희박류의 분석에 있어서 불연속좌표법과 결합된 유한차분법(finite-difference method coupled with the discrete-ordinate method, FDDO)과 직접모사법(direct-simulation Monte-Carlo method, DSMC)이 비교되었다. FDDO를 이용한 분석에서는 충돌적분모델을 도입하여 간단해진 볼츠만식(Boltzmann equation)이 불연속좌표법을 이용하여 물리적 공간에서는 연속이나 분자속도 공간에서는 불연속좌표로 표시되는 편미분방정식군으로 변환되어 유한차분법에의하여 수치해석 되었다. 직접모사법에서는 분자모델로 가변강구모델(variable hard sphere model, VHS)이, 충돌샘플링모델로는 비시계수법(no time counter method, NTC)이 채택되었다. 전혀 다른 두 가지 방법에 의한 노즐 내부에서의 유체흐름 해석결과는 매우 잘 일치하였으며, 노즐 외부의 plume 영역에서는 FDDO에 의한 해석결과가 직접모사법에 의한 해석결과에 비하여 약간 느린 팽창을 보였다.

A centrifuge works on the principle that particles with different densities will separate at a rate proportional to the centrifugal force during high-speed rotation. Dense particles are quickly precipitated, and particles with relatively smaller densities are precipitated more slowly. A decanter-type centrifuge is used to remove, concentrate, and dehydrate sludge in a water treatment process. This is a core technology for measuring the sludge conveyance efficiency improvement. In this study, a smoothed particle hydro-dynamic analysis was performed for a decanter centrifuge used to convey sludge to evaluate the efficiency improvement. This analysis was applied to both the original centrifugal model and the design change model, which was a ball-plate rail model, to evaluate the sludge transfer efficiency.
