Numerical calculations have been carried out for the mixed convection flow in a concentric curved annulus with constant heat flux boundary condition at inner wall. The flow is assumed to be fully developed so as to maintain a constant streamwise pressure and temperature gradient. Computations have been performed for flows of radius ratio 0.2 and 0.5 with the Dean number lying in the range 0$K^{1/2}$ for the wide range of the Dean number considered here.

Dual throat nozzle(DTN) is recently attracting much attention as a new concept of the thrust vectoring technique. This DTN is designed with two throats, an upstream minimum and a downstream minimum at the nozzle exit, with a cavity in between the upstream throat and exit. In the present study, a computational work has been carried out to analyze the performance of a dual throat nozzle(DTN) at various mass flow rate of secondary flow and nozzle pressure ratios(NPR). Two-dimensional, steady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The present computational results were validated with some experimental data available. Based upon the present results, The control effectiveness of thrust-vector is discussed in terms of the thrust coefficient and the discharge coefficient.

Dual throat nozzle(DTN) is recently attracting much attention as a new concept of the thrust vectoring technique. This DTN is designed with two throats, an upstream minimum and a downstream minimum at the nozzle exit, with a cavity in between the upstream throat and exit. In the present study, a computational work has been carried out to analyze a fundamental performance of a dual throat nozzle(DTN) at various nozzle pressure ratios(NPR) and throat area ratios. Two-dimensional, axisymmetric, steady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR was varied in the range of NPR from 2.0 to 10.0, at different throat area ratios. The present computational results were validated with some experimental data available. Based upon the present results, the performance of DTN is discussed in terms of the discharge coefficient and thrust efficiency.

Small amplitude in-phase oscillations of multi-cylinders are considered both numerically and experimentally. Flow field is separated into inner and outer regions. The basic unsteady solution is obtained analytically and the secondary flow, termed as steady streaming flow, can be obtained numerically by using Finite Volume Code with Panel Method. The Particle Induced Velocimetry, one of whole field measurements, is introduced for comparison with numerical flow visualization quantitatively. Among the algorithms for PIV, the Three Step Vector Searching Technique is applied to reduce CPU time. Small but non-zero damping coefficient, that is important in lightly damped system can be obtained with varying number of bodies and distances.

Naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to investigate the mass transfer processes from a square cylinder at various Reynolds numbers and various angles of attack. Distribution of the local mass transfer coefficients on each face of the cylinder changes dramatically with the angle of attack. Such variation of local mass transfer rates closely connected with the complex flow phenomena such as stagnation, acceleration, separation, reattachment and vortex shedding. The average Sherwood number has a minimum value at 12.deg.-13.deg., and a maximum value at a=20.deg.-25.deg. A comparison of present mass transfer measurement with other heat transfer measurements, using the heat/mass transfer analogy, shows good agreement in average transfer rates, same trend but notable differences in local values. Therefore, naphthalene sublimation technique can be adopted to explore heat transfer processes in the complex flow situations, which is considered to be hardly possible with the conventional heat transfer measurements.

There has been an increased interest in the mitigation of wax deposition because wax, which usually accumulates in subsea oil-production systems, interrupts stable oil production and significantly increases the cost. To guarantee a required oil flow by mitigating wax deposition, we need to obtain a reliable estimation of the wax deposition. In this research, we perform simulations to understand the major mechanisms that lead to wax deposition, namely molecular diffusion, shear stripping reduction, and aging. While the model variables (shear reduction multiplier, wax porosity, wax thermal conductivity, and molecular diffusion multiplier) can be measured experimentally, they have high uncertainty. We perform an analysis of these variables and the amount of water and gas in the multiphase flow to determine these effects on the behavior of wax deposition. Based on the results obtained during this study for a higher wax porosity and molecular diffusion multiplier, we were able to confirm the presence of thicker wax deposits. As the shear reduction multiplier decreased, the thickness of the wax deposits increased. As the amount of water increased, there was also an increase in the amount of wax deposits until 40% water cut and decreased. As the amount of gas increased, the amount of wax deposits increased because of the loss of the light hydrocarbon component in the liquid phase. The results of this study can be utilized to estimate the wax deposition behavior by comparing the experiment (or field) and simulation data.

원자력발전소의 안전성 향상을 목적으로 신형원자로 안전주입계통의 축압기 설계에 적용이 고려되고 있는 피동적 유량조절 장치인 vortex 밸브의 유동장을 해석하여 밸브의 특성에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들을 도출하고 이 인자들의 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 Vortex 밸브의 성능 특성은 수송유량, 제어유량, chamber의 반경, 입구면적, 마찰계수 등의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 이들 인자 중 chamber의 반경의 영향이 가장 크고 Reynolds수의 영향은 비교적 작은 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 주어진 유동조건에서 제어유량이 작은 경우 점성손실이 vortex 밸브의 유동특성에 미치는 영향이 증대되는 경향을 보였으며 유량이 증가할수록 Reynolds수의 영향은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

유탁액(emulsion), 현탁액(suspension), 고분자용액(polymer solution) 및 고분자 용식물(polymer melt) 등의 유동에 대하여는 응력과 속도구배 사이에 선형적인 관계가 성립되지 않는다. 이런 유체들은 뉴우튼유체들의 경우와는 달리 단한번의 점성계수 측정만으로는 완전한 유변학 적(rheological) 특징을 파악할 수 없으므로 이들을 통털어서 비뉴우튼유체(non-Newtonian fluid )라고 한다. 이들의 응력과 속도구배 사이의 비선형적인 관계를 고찰하는 비뉴우튼유체역학은 최근에 빠르게 발전하고 있는 유체역학의 한 분야이며, 고분자 공정, 식품, 생물공학 및 유전등의 여러 산업부문에서 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 여기서는 뉴우튼유체에서 관찰될 수 없는 비뉴우튼유체의 독특한 유동 현상에 대한 이해를 증진시킴으로써, 비뉴우튼유체역학의 여러 문 제들을 취급하는데 필요한 기본지식을 제공하고자 한다.
