Flow through compliant tubes with linear taper in wall thickness is numerically simulated by finite element analysis. For verification of the numerical method, flow through a compliant stenotic vessel is simulated and the results are compared to the existing experimental data. Steady two-dimensional flow in a collapsible channel with initial tension is also simulated and the results are compared with numerical solutions from the literature. Computational results show that as cross-sectional area decreases with the reduction in downstream pressure, flow rate increases and reaches the maximum when the speed index (mean velocity divided by wave speed) is near the unity at the point of minimum cross-section area, indicating the flow limitation or choking (flow speed equals wave speed) in one-dimensional studies. for further reductions in downstream pressure, flow rate decreases. The flow limitation or choking consist of the main reasons of waterfall effect which occurs in the airways, capillaries of lung, and other veins. Cross-sectional narrowing is significant but localized. When the ratio of downstream-to-upstream wall thickness is 2, the area throat is located near the downstream end. As this ratio is increased to 3, the constriction moves to the upstream end of the tube.

비정상, 층류 유동으로 실린더와 같은 블러프(Bluff)물체 주위를 흐르는 유동에서 발생하는 Von Karman 와동은 외부 유체로부터 전달된 힘이 물체 표면에 분포되어 양력이나 항력등에 많은 영향을 주기 때문에 유체역학 분야에 있어서 매우 중요한 분야라 할 수 있다. 이러한 유동은 벽으로부터 점진적으로 전달되고 확산되는 큰 와류에 의해서 특징 지워진다. (중략)

In the present study extensisve numerical experiments are conducted using the CFD code, FLUENT, to investigate the energy dissipation due to perforated walls for various wall-thickness and flow conditions. A new empirical formula for energy loss coefficient considering the effect of the thickness of perforated wall is obtained based on the results of computational experiments. It is found that the energy loss coefficient decreases as the wall-thickness increases and the maximum coefficient reduction reaches upto 40% of the value calculated using the conventional formulas for the sharp-crested orifice. To check the validity of the new formula the reflection coefficient of waves due to perforated wall is evaluated and compared with the results of existing theories and hydraulic experiments. The result shows that the new formula is superior to the conventional ones.

The tube thickness map of water wall has been measured in a commercial circulating fluidized bed combustor (200 ton steam/hr, $4.97{\times}9.90{\times}28.98m$ height) with ultrasonic method and tube erosion has been discussed. Severe tube erosion took place in the splash region on all waterwalls including wingwalls. Erosion on the lower part of front and rear walls, close to both side walls, was more serious than other places. Erosion of some tubes around the gas exit was found to be noticible. Tube erosion increased on the wingwall as the position of the tube become closer to the center of the combustor crosssection.

Thermal power generation accounts for the highest percentage of domestic power generation, among which coal-fired boiler generation accounts for the highest percentage. Coal boilers generate harmful substances and fine dust during coal combustion and have a serious effect on air pollution. So, fluidized-bed boilers have been introduced as eco-friendly coal boilers. It uses a fluid medium which affect the combustion temperature of coal. Because of it fluidized-bed boilers emit less pollutants than original one. Water-wall tubes play an important role in this fluidized bed boiler. Due to the fluid medium, the wall damage is more severe than the existing boiler. However, there is no quantitative maintenance technique in Korea yet. Remote field eddy current testing is a non-destructive evaluation technique that is often used for inspection of inner and outer wall of tube. it can inspect with non-contact and high speed. However, it is an inspection that proceeds from inside the pipe, and the water-wall tube is not able to enter the interior. In this study, we designed and simulated an external remote field eddy current sensor suitable for water-wall tube of a fluidized - bed boiler using simulations. By obtaining a signal similar to the existing remote field eddy current test, the criteria for the external remote field eddy current sensor design can be presented.

채널 내부에 장애물이 존재하는 유동 형태는 다양한 공학적 문제에서 나타나고 있으므로 여러 가지 형상 및 유동 조건에 따른 유동 특성 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 장애물의 형상을 일정한 크기의 원형 실린더로 설정하고 실린더는 위아래 채널 벽 중앙에 위치하도록 하여 2차원 채널 내에 원형 실린더가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 CFD연구를 수행하였다. 실린더와 위아래 채널 벽면과의 거리를 변화시켜 각각의 거리에 대해 유동 재부착 길이, 유동의 주기성, 항력계수 등의 유동 특성을 관찰하였다. 연구결과 각 간격[실린더벽면과 채널벽면간의 거리(G)/실린더지름(d)]이 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 15에 따른 재 부착 지점(Reattachment Length)은 채널 벽면이 실린더로부터 멀어질수록 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 유동 재부착 지점에 수렴해간다는 것을 확인하였다. 즉 거리가 멀어질수록 벽면 영향이 줄어든다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 경우에 대해 항력계수 값을 구하였고, 이를 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 항력계수 값과 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 벽면으로부터의 떨어진 거리가 5부터 벽면의 효과가 줄어들어 10이상이 되었을 때부터 그 영향이 아주 미미하다는 것을 확인하였다.

The characteristic of supersonic flow with condensation along a wavy wall of small amplitude in channel is investigated through the direct marching method of characteristics. The very complex problem that may appear where the overlapping of the same family characteristics occurs, can be satisfactorily solved by means of the modified method suggested by Zucrow. In the present study for the case of supersonic moist air flow, the dependency of location of formation and reflection of oblique shock wave generated by the wavy wall, and the distributions of flow properties, on the relative humidity and temperature at the entrance of wavy wall is clarified by plots of streamline, ios-Mach umber and ios-flow properties. Also, it is confirmed that the wavy wall plays an important key role in the formation of oblique shock wave, and that the effect of condensation on the flow field appears apparently.

임계 열유속 현상은 열전달 시스템에서 가열조건이나 유동조건이 변함에 따라 열전달 표면 부근의 유체상태가 액체에서 기체로 바뀌면서 열전달계수가 급격히 감소하는 현상을 말한다. 임계 열유속 발생 시 핵 비등 영역에서 순간적으로 막 비등 영역으로 넘어가면서 원전 시스템의 물리적 파괴를 일으킬 수 있게 된다. 따라서 임계 열유속 현상은 시스템 설계 및 안전해석 뿐만 아니라, 열교환 및 냉각 장치 설계에서 중요하게 고려되고 있다. 특히, 비등 열전달 시스템에서 임계 열유속 발생 시 시스템의 물리적 손상을 야기하게 된다. 따라서 원전 시스템을 보호하면서 성능을 극대화시키기 위해서는 임계 열유속 향상이 필수적이며, 임계 열유속 향상을 위한 대안 중 하나로서 열적 특성이 우수한 나노유체를 열전달 시스템에 적용하여 임계 열유속 향상을 위한 연구가 지속되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산화 처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 나노유체를 사용하여 각각 0.5 m/s, 1.0 m/s, 1.5 m/s의 유속에서 임계 열유속과 열전달 계수를 측정하였다. 그 결과 산화 처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 나노유체의 유속이 증가 할수록 임계 열유속이 증가하는 것을 확인 하였으며, 순수물과 비교하여 최대 62.64% 증가함을 확인하였다. 그리고 산화 처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브 나노유체의 비등 열전달 계수 또한 유속이 증가 할수록 비등 열전달 계수가 증가하는 것을 확인하였며 최대 24.29% 증가함을 확인하였다.

A simultaneous measurement of the wall skin friction and near-wall streamwise velocity fluctuations is performed using hot film and hot wire anemometers to investigate the relation between them. Near-wall turbulence statistics measured with a hot-wire probe are in good agreement with previous results. Turbulence properties of the wall skin friction fluctuations measured with a hot film also show fairly good agreements with those measured by others except that rms level is lower in the present study. Long-time averaged space- time correlations show that the wall skin friction is highly correlated with a turbulence structure which is tilted from the wall in the streamwise direction. Tilting angles are obtained from the phase shifts between the wall skin-friction and streamwise velocity fluctuations. The convection velocity of the near-wall streamwise velocity obtained from the space-time correlation is in good agreement with that from the direct numerical simulation database.

A multiphase CFD analysis is performed to investigate the effect of near-wall grid for simulating a subcooled boiling flow in vertical tube. The multiphase flow model used in this CFD analysis is the two-fluid model in which liquid(water) and vapor(steam) are considered as continuous and dispersed fluids, respectively. A wall boiling model is also used to simulate the subcooled boiling heat transfer at the heated wall boundary. The diameter and heated length of tube are 0.0154 m and 2 m, respectively. The system pressure in tube is 4.5 MPa and the inlet subcooling is 60 K. The near-wall grid size in the non-dimensional wall unit ($y_{w}^{+}$) was examined from 64 to 172 at the outlet boundary. The CFD calculations predicted the void distributions as well as the liquid and wall temperatures in tube. The predicted axial variations of the void fraction and the wall temperature are compared with the measured ones. The CFD prediction of the wall temperature is shown to slightly depend on the near-wall grid size but the axial void prediction has somewhat large dependency. The CFD prediction was found to show a better agreement with the measured one for the large near-wall grid, e.g., $y_{w}^{+}$ > 100.
