슬러리 기포탑 반응기는 열 및 물질 전달의 용이성, 낮은 운전비용 및 장치의 간단성의 장점을 가지고 있어서 Fischer-Tropsch 반응, bio-reaction 등에 많이 응용되고 있다. 그러나 기포탑 반응기 내의 물질 거동은 매우 복잡하기 때문에 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있음에도 불구하고 그 현상에 대한 명확한 이해는 어려운 상황이다. 특히 기포탑반응기내에 기체의 포집율(gas hold-up)을 증가시키는 것을 목적으로 하는 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기체의 분사 방향에 따른 기체 포집율의 변화를 관찰하였다. 기체 분사는 0.6 mm의 pore가 66개로 구성된 perforated plate를 통해서 이루어졌고, 수직방향, 수평방향, 45도 그리고 수직/수평 조합의 네 가지 분사방향에 대해서 실험을 수행하였다. 반응기는 내경이 0.15 m이고 높이 2.0 m 아크릴 반응기를 이용하였다. 사용된 연속상은 수돗물을 사용하였고 분산상 기체로는 압축 공기를 이용하였다. 전체적인 기체 포집율은 수직방향의 분사방향에서 가장 높게 측정되었다. 그리고 수직/수평의 조합 분사방향의 경우, 기체 포집율이 가장 낮게 관찰되었다. 이것은 분사방향이 수직/수평으로 서로 엇갈릴 경우, 기포간의 충돌 가능성이 높아지고 bubble coalescence가 증가하였기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 실제로 homogeneous flow regime에서 heterogeneous flow regime으로 전환되는 기체선속도는 분사방향이 수직, 45도, 수평, 수직/수평 조합의 순서로 감소하였다. 즉 이 순서로 기체흐름의 와류가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Dynamic Gas Disengagement(DGD) 분석을 통하여 큰 기포가 발생하기 시작하는 기체 선속도의 변화를 관찰하였다. 이 경우, 예상되듯이 수직/수평 조합에서는 1.5 cm/sec 기체 선속도에서 큰 기포가 발생하기 시작한 반면 수직 방향 분사의 경우에는 2.5 cm/sec의 보다 높은 기체 선속도에서 관찰되기 시작하였다. 이러한 현상들을 종합하였을 때, 기체 분사방향을 수직으로 일정하게 했을 때, 기포간 출동을 최소화하고 와류발생을 최대한 지연시키며 전체 기체 포집율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The particle dispersion in the turbulent mixing layer has been numerically investigated to clarify the effect of the velocity ratio in the large-scale vortical structures. In this study the LES with subgrid-scale model is employed. The Lagrangian method to predict the particle motion is applied. The particles of 10, 50, 150, 200${\mu}m$ in mean diameter were loaded into the origin of the mixing layer. It is shown that the characteristics of flow and growth rate are strongly dependent on the variation of the velocity ratio. It is also shown the relationship between the Stokes number and the particle dispersion. As a result, in the case of St~1 the particle dispersion is faster than the diffustion of the flow field while in the cases of both St<<1 and St>>1 it is shown that the particle dispersion in lower than the diffusion of the flow filed.

Scour protection methods can be categorized as two types: The first is to reduce the horseshoe and wake vortices which are the main reasons for local scour. Either small cylindrical structures or separated vertical deflectors can be placed in front of the pier or the horizontal deflector (or collar) can be attached to the pier like the spoiler to reduce the dynamics of vortical structures. The second is to employ the protection layer to keep the bed material in place, which is a common method with a merit of immediate effect by using block mat or tetrapod. This study examined the effect of scour reduction using the former method. The relationship between the reflector interval and reduction of scour was not clear. It is assumed that the width of the reflector is somewhat correlated with the reduction of the scour. As the KC numbers increases, the Effect of Scour reduction rate is shown to decrease. Also, Scour reduction rate showed a rapid change at $U_R=25$ or KC = 8.

하천 합류부에 지천이 유입되는 경우 복잡한 3차원적 흐름 구조를 발생시키고 이로 인해 유사혼합 및 지형 변화가 활발히 발생하게 된다. 특히, 하천 합류부에서 부유사 거동은 하천의 세굴과퇴적, 하천 지형 변화, 하천 생태계, 하천구조물 안정성 등에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기 때문에 이에 대한 정확한 분석이 하천 관리 및 재해 예방에 필수적인 요소이다. 기존의 하천 합류부 부유사 계측 자료들은 재래식 채취 방식으로 수행되어 시공간적 해상도가 매우 낮아서 실측 자료만으로 합류부에서 부유사 혼합을 분석하기에는 한계가 존재하기에 대하천의 부유사 혼합 거동 해석에 수치모형이 주로 활용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 하천 합류부에서 부유사 거동을 공간적으로 정밀하게 분석하기 위해 드론 기반초분광 영상을 활용하여 하천 합류부에 최적화된 부유사 계측 방법론을 제시하였다. 현장에서 계측한 초분광 자료와 부유사 농도간의 관계를 구축하기 위하여 기계학습모형인 랜덤포레스트(Random Forest) 회귀 모형과 합류부에서 분광 특성이 다른 두 하천의 특성을 정확하게 반영하기 위한 가우시안 혼합 모형 (Gaussian Mixture Model) 기반 초분광 군집화 기법을 결합하였다. 본 연구에서 구축한 방법론을 낙동강과 황강의 합류부에 적용한 결과, 초분광 군집을 통해 두하천 흐름의 경계층을 명확히 구별하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 지류와 본류에 대해 각각 분리된 회귀 모형을 구축하여 복잡한 합류부 근역 경계층에서의 부유사 거동을 보다 정확하게 재현하였다. 또한 나아가서 재현된 고해상도의 부유사 공간분포를 바탕으로 경계층에서 강한 두 흐름이 혼합되어 발생한 와류(Wake)가 부유사 혼합에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 하천 합류부에서 발생하는 전단층의 수평방향 대규모 와류가 부유사 혼합 양상에 지배적 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 동맥경화증의 발생에 관한 가설들을 혈류역학적 관점에서 비교/검토하였다. 혈류의 와류 현상, 분리현상 등도 역시 저전단응력 위치에서 발생하게 되며 동맥경화의 발생이 되기 시작하며 동맥내 형태학적 변화로 인해 이러한 현상이 좀더 복잡한 유동을 거치게 된다. 이로 인해 동맥내의 형태적 재형성이 일어나게 되는데 유동의 변화가 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 생물학적으로 동맥경화는 질병의 성격이 만성 염증성 질환으로 알려져 있는데 이러한 생물학적 변성이 발생하는데 형태적 특성에 따른 혈류역학적 변화가 그 기전에 중요한 것임을 확인되었다. 본 연구자 등은 동맥경화가 발생하기 시작하는 곳은 혈관의 만곡부, 분지부 등에서 발생하는 것을 임상적 database를 통해 확인하였고 이 위치에서 영상을 simulation model을 동생 분석하여 전단응력의 영향과 시간에 따른 역동적 변화가 큰 것을 확인하였다.

Characteristics of secondary vortices is topologically investigated in the near-wake region of a circular cylinder where the Taylor hypothesis does not hold. The three-dimensional flow fields in the wake-transition regime were measured by a time-resolved PIV. For the analysis in a moving frame of reference, the convection velocity of the Karman vortices is evaluated from the trajectory of vortex center which is defined as the centroid of the vorticity field. Then, a saddle point is obtained by applying the critical point theory. Science the distributions of fluctuating Reynolds stresses defined by triple-decomposition are closely related with the existence of secondary vortices. the physical meaning of them is explained in conjunction with vortex center and saddle point trajectories. Finally, the temporal evolution of streamwise vortex is also discussed.

A flow visualization of the two-dimensional rigid fling-clap motions of the flat-plate wing are performed to gain knowledge of butterfly mechanisms that might be employed by butterflies during flight. In this numerical visualization, the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved for cyclic fling and clap types of wing motion. The separation vortex pair that is developed in the fling phase of the cyclic fling and clap motion is observed to be stronger than those of the fling followed by clap and pause motion(1st cycle motion). This stronger separation vortex pair in the fling phase is attributable to the separation vortex pair of the outside space developed in the clap phase as it moves into the opening in the following fling phase. Accordingly, higher lift and power expenditure coefficients in the fling after clap phase is caused by the stronger separation vortex pair.

Turbulent flow structure in the high amplitude meandering channel is complex due to secondary recirculation with helicoidal motions and shear layers formed by flow separation from the curved sidewall. In this work, the secondary flow and the superelevation of the water surface produced in the high-amplitude Kinoshita channel are reproduced by the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations using the VOF technique for resolving the variation of water surface elevation and three statistical turbulence models ($k-{\varepsilon}$, RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$, $k-{\omega}$ SST). The numerical results computed by a second-order accurate finite volume method are compared with an existing experimental measurement. Among applied turbulence models, $k-{\omega}$ SST model relatively well predicts overall distribution of the secondary recirculation in the Kinoshita channel, while all three models yield similar prediction of water superelevation transverse slope. The secondary recirculation driven by the radial acceleration in the upstream bend affects the flow structure in the downstream bend, which yields a pair of counter-rotating vortices at the bend apex. This complex flow pattern is reasonably well reproduced by the $k-{\omega}$ SST model. Both $k-{\varepsilon}$ based models fail to predict the clockwise-rotating vortex between a pair of counter-rotating vortices which was observed in the experiment. Regardless of applied turbulence models, the present computations using the VOF method appear to well reproduce the superelevation of water surface through the meandering channel.

A combined sewer system can quickly drain both storm water and sewage, improve the living environment and resolve flood measures. A combined sewer system is much superior to separate sewer system in reduction of the non-point source pollutant load. However, during rainfall. it is impossible in time, space and economic terms to cope with the entire volume of storm water. A sewage system that exceeds the capacity of the sewer facilities drain into the river mixed with storm-water. In addition, high concentration of CSOs by first-flush increase pollution load and reduce treatment efficiency in sewage treatment plant. The aim of this study was to develope a processing unit for the removal of high CSOs concentrations in relation to water quality during rainfall events in a combined sewer. The most suitable operational design for processing facilities under various conditions was also determined. With a designed discharge of 19.89 m/min, the removal efficiency was good, without excessive overflow, but it was less effective in relation to underflow, and decreased with decreasing particle size and specific gravity. It was necessary to lessen radius of vortex separator for increasing inlet velocity in optimum range for efficient performance, and removal efficiency was considered to high because of rotation increases through enlargement of comparing height of vortex separator in diameter. By distribution of influent particle size, the actual turbulent flow and experimental results was a little different from the theoretical removal efficiency due to turbulent effect in device.

There is a major interest in diagnostic technology for multiple cancers worldwide. In order to reduce the difficulty of cancer diagnosis, a liquid biopsy technology based on a microfluidic device using trace amounts of biofluids such as blood is being studied. And optical biosensing, which measures the concentration of analytes through fluorescence imaging using biofluids, requires various strategies to improve sensitivity, and specialists and equipment are needed to carry out these strategies. This leads to an increase in diagnostic and production costs, and it is necessary to develop a technology to solve this problem. In this paper, we design and propose a fluorescent multi-cancer diagnostic sensing platform structure that implements passive self-separation technology and molecular recognition activation functions by fluid mixing, only with the geometry and microfluidic phenomena of microchannels based on self-driven flow by capillary force. In order to check the parameters affecting the performance of the plasma separation part of the designed sensor, the hydrodynamic diameter of the channel and the viscosity of the fluid were set as variables to confirm the formation of plasma separation flow through simulation. And finally, we propose an optimal sensor platform structure.
