This study presents the measurement techniques on the periodic fluctuating flow such as the discharge flow of a centrifugal impeller in an unstable operating region. During rotating stall, the flow at the exit of a centrifugal compressor impeller fluctuates periodically with a lower frequency than that of the blade passing. To observe the blade-to-blade flow characteristics during the rotating stall, the phases of all the sampled data sets should be adjusted to those of the reference signals with two processes, in these processes, DPLEAT (Double Phase-Locked Ensemble Averaging Technique) can be used. From these measurements and data processing techniques, the characteristics illustrated a blade-to-blade flow with high frequency, but also a periodic rotating stall flow with a low frequency at the centrifugal impeller exit which was clearly observed.

Experiments have been performed to investigate fluid-elastic instability of tube bundles, subjected to twophase cross flow. Fluid-elastic is the most important vibration excitation mechanism for heat exchanger tube bundles subjected to the cross flow. The test section consists of cantilevered flexible cylinder(s) and rigid cylinders of normal square array. From a practical design point of view, fluid-elastic instability may be expressed simply in terms of dimensionless flow velocity and dimensionless mass-damping parameter. For dynamic instability of cylinder rows, added mass, damping and the threshold flow velocity are evaluated. The Fluid-elastic instability coefficient is calculated and then compared to existing results given for tube bundles in normal square array.

마이크로폴라 탄성이론은 다른 마이크로연속체(microcontinuum) 이론에 비해 적용이 간단하며, 실제 많은 물리적인 현상을 규명하는 데 다양하게 이용할 수 있다. 특히 고전 탄성이론에 의해 적절하게 해결될 수 없는 덤벨(dumbell) 분자로 이루어진 물체, 액체 결정체(liquid crystals), 과립상(granular)의 분자로 구성된 물체와 복합 섬유재료(composite fibrous materials) 등은 마 이크로폴라 탄성이론에 의해 잘 해결될 수 있다. 또한 마이크로폴라 탄성이론은 고체 내에서의 파의 전파(propagation)와 분산(dispersion), 구멍 주위의 응력집중과 외부 하중을 받는 물체에 있어 균열끝에서의 응력 분포 등의 고체역학 문제들은 물론이고, 경계층(boundary layer), 난 류(turbulence), 유체 유동의 불안정(instability)과 표면장력 현상 등의 유체역학에서의 복잡한 문제들을 해결하는 데에도 이용할 수 있다. 마이크로폴라 탄성이론은 고전 탄성이론에 비해 상 대적으로 새롭고 미개척 분야이긴 하지만 이론의 기반이 확고하기 때문에 앞으로의 회전응력 측정장치의 개발을 통해 미소구조의 영향을 고려해야 하는 많은 문제들을 해결하는데 큰 기여를 할 것으로 전망된다.

This study investigated on details of flow characteristics in a vaneless diffuser of a compressor with 2-dimensional impeller at various flow rates. Experiment for a low speed compressor model in a water reservoir was performed to analyze the flow field in the vaneless diffuser and volute casing, which was done by PIV measurement. It was also focused on the periodic flow patterns occurring at low flow rate near unstable operating region of the compressor. At low flow rate condition, the flow visualization clearly shows that the flow energy from impeller is highly accumulated at the compressor exit by the blockage effect of a flow damper and consequently the reverse flow occurs in the diffuser.

Flow-Induced Vibration of steam generator tubes may result in fretting wear damage at the tube-to-support locations. KSNP(Korean Standard Nuclear Power plant) steam generators experienced fretting wear in the upper part of U-bend above the central cavity region of steam generators. This region has conditions susceptible to the flow-induced vibration, such as high flow velocity, high void fraction, and longer unsupported span. To improve its performance, APR1400 steam generator is designed with additional supports in this region to reduce unsupported span and to reduce peak velocity in the central cavity region. In this paper, we examined its performance improvement using ATHOS code. The thermal-hydraulic condition in the region of secondary side of APR1400 steam generator is obtained using the ATHOS3 code. The effective mass for modal analysis is calculated using the void fraction, enthalpy, and operating pressure information from ATHOS3 code result. With the effective mass distribution along the tube, natural frequency and mode shape is obtained using ANSYS code. Finally, stability ratios and real mean squared displacements for selected tubes of the APR1400 steam generator are computed. From these results, the current design of the APR1400 steam generator are examined.

Because most existing non-Newtonian models are not suitable for application to the lattice Boltzmann method, theoretical and numerical studies in this regard remain challenging. In this study, the hydrokinetic (HK) model was modified and applied to a 3D sudden contraction-expansion channel flow, and the characteristics of the HK model flow were evaluated to generate non-trivial predictions in three-dimensional strong shear flows. The HK model is very efficient for application to the lattice Boltzmann method because it utilizes the shear rate and relaxation time. However, the simulation would be unstable in a high shear flow field because the local relaxation time sharply decreases with an increase in the shear rate in a strong shear flow field. In the HK model, it may become necessary to truncate the relaxation time and non-dimensional parameter to obtain stable numerical results.

This paper investigates the linear stability of wakes with special emphasis on the effect of chemical reaction. Velocity and density profiles for laminar flows are obtained from analytic profiles as well as from simulation. Wakes have two generalized inflection points and two unstable modes-sinuous and varicose modes. For analytical laminar profiles, sinuous modes are more unstable than varicose modes irrespective of density variation, which shows wakes will be destabilized by sinuous modes. Large velocity difference and density difference lead to more unstable wakes due to large momentum difference. For simulated laminar profiles, chemical reaction with stoichiometric chemistry increases temperature and stabilizes the flow due to increase in compressible reacting wades, flow becomes stable as velocity increases due to viscous dissipation.

Present study examines the numerical issues of cell structure simulation for various regimes of detonation phenomena ranging from weakly unstable to highly unstable detonations. Inviscid fluid dynamics equations with $variable-{\gamma} $ formulation and one-step Arrhenius reaction model are solved by a MUSCL-type TVD scheme and 4th order accurate Runge-Kutta time integration scheme. A series of numerical studies are carried out for the different regimes of the detonation phenomena to investigate the computational requirements for the simulation of the detonation wave cell structure by varying the reaction constants and grid resolutions. The computational results are investigated by comparing the solution of steady ZND structure to draw out the minimum grid resolutions and the size of the computational domain for the capturing cell structures of the different regimes of the detonation phenomena.

고분자 물질의 신장점도를 측정하기 위하여 설계된 수렴관을 지나는 시험 유체 M1 에대하여 유한요소방법으로 수치모사를 수행하였다. 구성방정식은 세 개의 이완시간을 가진 적분형 K-BKZ모형을 사용하였다. 신장변형이 지배적이고 변형속도가 매우 큰 흐름에 대하 여 실험적 방법으로 측정이 가능한 범위까지 수치모사를 수행하였다. 두 개의 압력 측정꼬 지 사이의 벽면 압력차에 대하여 압력 신호로 측정한 실험값을 수치모사결과와 비교하였다. 걷보기 전단속도가 매우 큰 1300s-1에 이르는 높은 유속의 전 실험범위에 대하여 안정된 수 치해를 얻을수 있었다. 3$0^{\circ}C$에서는 모든 실험범위의 유속에서 압력차에 대한 수치모사 결과 가 실험값과 잘일치했다. 21$^{\circ}C$에서는 0.1$\times$10-3m3/s보다 낮은 유속범위에서 실험값과 일치하 는 결과를 얻었으나 그보다 높은 유속에서 실험값과 일치하는 결과를 얻었으나 그보다 높은 유속에서 실험값과 다른 경향의 결과를 얻었다. 이것은 낮은 온도 높은 유속 조건에서 M1 유체의 성질이 불안정하고 또한 그러한 조건의 실험에서 발생한 압력 측정꼭지 부근의 기포 들이 정확한 압력측정에 영향을 끼쳤기 때문이다. 수치모사 결과로부터 얻은 압력과 응력분 포로부터 수렴관 유변측정기의 유동특성을 밝힐수 있었다. 이는 실험적 방법을 통해서는 얻 기 어려운 결과들로서 중요한의미를 가진다. 특별한 모양을 갖도록 설계된 수렴관을 통과하 는 M1 유체가 중심부근에서 일정한 신장변형속도로 변형됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 수직응력 은 지수적으로 증가하다가 축소부분을 지난 후 매우 장점도를 얻기 위하여 신장변형속도가 일정한 구역이 두 배로 확장된 수렴관이 수치적으로 다루어졌고 이를 통하여 기존의 수렴관 에서 구한 값보다 큰 신장점도를 얻을 수 있었다.
