The instability of two-phase loop thermosyphons (TLTs) was investigated experimentally. Three orifice type inserts were used to study the effect of change in the pressure drop in the flow channel of the TLT on the flow instability and temperature fluctuation. It is observed that a decrease in the size of the orifice insert from 3.7mm (no insert) to 0.71mm drastically reduced the fluctuation of the temperature, especially at the evaporator section of the TLT With the orifice type insert of 0.71 mm for the TLT, the overall temperature fluctuation was almost completely eliminated, especially at higher power input to the TLT.

Flow patterns inside the riser section and the effects of the heater inlet-and exit-restrictions, liquid charging level and the heater inlet subcooling on the flow characteristics inside an open two-phase natural circulation loop were studied experimentally. Three basic circulation modes were observed ; periodic circulation (A)(flow oscillations with incubation(no boiling) period), continuous circulations(stable operation mode with no flow oscillations), and periodic circulation (B) (flow oscillations with continuous boiling). The circulation rate increases and then decreases with the increase of the heating rate and the maximum circulation rate appears with the continuous circulation mode. The decrease of the inlet-restriction or the increase of the exitrestriction destabilizes the system. When the liquid charging level or the inlet subcooling decreases, the continuous circulation mode starts at the lower heating rate and the system is stabilized.

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.

This paper presents the results of fluidelastic instability analysis performed for the U-tube bundle of a Westinghouse model 51 steam generator, one of the recirculating types designed at an early stage, in which the principal region of external cross-flow is associated with the U-bend portion of tube. The prerequisites for this analysis are detailed informations of the secondary side flow conditions in the steam generator and the free vibration behaviours of the U-tubes. In this study, the three-dimensional two-phase flow field in the steam generator has been calculated employing the ATHOS3 steam generator two-phase flow code and the ANSYS engineering analysis code has been used to calculate the free vibration responses of specific U tubes under consideration. The assessment of the potential instability for the suspect U-tubes, which is the final analysis process of the present work, has been accomplished by combining the secondary side velocity and density distributions obtained from the ATHOS3 prediction with the relative modal displacement and natural frequency data calculated using the ANSYS code. The damping of tubes in two-phase flow has been deduced from the existing experimental data by taking into account the secondary side void fraction effect. In operation of the steam generator, the tube support conditions at the tube-to-tube support plate intersections due to either tube denting degradation or deposition of tube support plate corrosion products or ingression of dregs. Thus, various hypothetical cases regarding the tube support conditions at the tube-to-tube support plate intersections have been considered to investigate the clamped support effects on the forced vibration response of the tube. Also, the effect of anti-vibration bars support in the curved portion of tube has been examined.

A numerical model was developed to predict the density wave oscillation (DWO) in the furnace wall tubes of a fossil-fired once-through boiler. The transient flow fields in the tubes were obtained using a 1D finite volume method in the time domain. A header model was also implemented to simulate the parallel tube connection of the wall tubes. The inlet and outlet mass flow variation in one of the parallel tubes was examined after a heat perturbation to find the DWO. After successful verification with experimental results reported in literature, the developed model was applied to the wall tubes of a 700-MW boiler furnace. In contrast to the simulation of Takitani's experiment, in which the unstable power thresholds tended to rise in the reduced bypass channel flow, no remarkable changes were observed in the power thresholds in the parallel channel modeling of the wall tubes of the boiler furnace.

Two-phase RoeM and AUSMPW+ schemes are preconditioned for the simulation of all Mach number flows, which are generally of interest for many gas-liquid two-phase application problems, because of large speed of sound in liquid region and low speed of sound in mixture or gas region. Conventional characteristic based schemes lose their accuracy or robustness in low Mach number flows, because their numerical dissipation terms are scaled by speed of sound, which is too large compared with local velocity magnitude in a low Mach region. All speed versions of RoeM and AUSMPW+ reflect the eigenvalues of the preconditioned governing system, which have the same order of magnitude even in low Mach number region. From the asymptotic analysis, it is observed that the discretized system by the developed schemes is consistent with the continuum system in the incompressible limit. The numerical results show the accurate and robust behavior of the proposed shcemes for all speed two-phase flows.

The definition of burning admittance and conventional n-$\tau$ stability rating technique are combined to investigate the high frequency combustion instabilities inside the cylindrical combustion chamber. Perturbed flow variables are written as the sum of fluctuating and time-averaged mean quantities on the assumption that the terms of the order higher than unity are sufficiently small, hence linearized governing equations could be formulated. Chamber admittances up and downstream of the flame front calculated with appropriate boundary conditions result in the burning admittance and corresponding n-$\tau$ neutral stability curve. Configurational and operational design factors are tested to detect the unstable wave-induced LOX-RP1 combustion instabilities. Operational design factors, e.g. pressure or O/F ratio, appear less influential to drive high frequency instability while the location of the flame front and configurational factors enhance or deteriorate the stabilities strongly. Conclusively, LOX-RP1 combustion inside the cylindrical combustion chamber is apt to be unstable against long residence time and shortened chamber length.

Complexity of multiphase flows due to existence of more than two interface including free-surface in one system, cannot be simulated easily. Since more than two fluids affect to flows and disturb interface, non-linearities such as instabilities can be appeared. Among several instabilities on multiphase flows, one of representative is Rayleigh-taylor instability. In order to examine in importance of density disparity, several cases with numerous Atwood number are set. Moreover, investigation of influence on initial disturbance were also considered. Moving particle simulation (MPS) method, which was employed in this paper, was not widely used for multiphase problem. In this study, by adding new particle interaction models such as self-buoyance correction, surface tension, and boundary condition at interface models, MPS were developed having more strength of physics and robust. By applying newly developed multiphase MPS, considered cases are performed and compared each other. Additionally, though existence of disagreement of magnitude of rising velocity between theoretical values from linear potential theory and that of numerical simulation, agreement of tendency can be proved of similarity of result. the discordance of magnitude can be explained due to non-linear effects on numerical simulation which was not considered in theoretical result.

지금까지 몇가지의 차등법들을 계산의 정확도 및 안정성에 관하여 검토하였다. 상류 차등법과 왜도 차등법은 좋은 안정성을 가지고 있으나 그 정확도가 미흡한게 결점이고 중앙 차등법은 비 교적 좋은 정확드를 가지고 있으나 불안정한게 큰 결점이다. QUICK 차등법의 경우에는 보다 정확한 수치해를 얻기위해 종속 변수를 보다 고차의 근사치로 표시하였는데 정확도가 증가함에 따라 몇가지의 불이익이 생기게 된다. 그 불이익으로는 제일 먼저 계산 비용의 증가를 들 수 있으며 수치 계산이 불안정하게 되고 경계 조건의 표시가 어려워 진다. 또한 난류 에너지 방 정식과 같이 종속 변수가 반드시 양수값을 갖는 방정식에서 그 차등방정식의 종속 변수도 양수 치를 가져야 한다는 제한 조건을 만족시키는데 일반적으로 어려움이 많다. 그 이유는 QUICK 차등법을 이용한 차등방정식은 흔히 음수치의 원천항을 갖기 때문에 차등방정식을 푼 후 그 종속 변수가 음수치를 갖기 때문이다. 아직도 고차의 정확도를 갖는 차등법이 연구 개발중이며 종속 변수가 반드시 양수치인 유동방정식을 푸는 좋은 차등법은 아직까지도 없는 실정이어서 2차 이 상의 정확도와 절대 안정성 (absolute stability)을 갖는 새로운 차등법의 개급이 시발하다 하겠다.
