A conventional centrifugal pump causes a drastic deterioration of air-water two-phase flow performances even at an air-water two-phase flow condition of inlet void fraction less than 10% in the range of relatively low water flow rate. Then we have developed a two-phase flow centrifugal pump which consists of a tandem arrangement of double rotating cascades and blades of outer cascade have higher outlet angle more than $90^{\circ}$. In design of the two-phase flow pump for various sized and operating conditions, similarity relations of geometric dimensions to hydraulic performances is very useful. The similarity relations of rotational speed, impeller diameter and blade height are investigated for the developed impeller in the present paper. As the results, the similarity law of rotational speed and impeller diameter is clarified experimentally even in two-phase flow condition. In addition, influences of blade height on air-water two-phase flow performances indicate a little difference from the similarity relations.

Two-phase flow phenomena are observed in many industrial facilities and make much importance of optimum design for nuclear power plant and the liquid transportation system. The particular flow pattern depends on the conditions of pressure, flow velocity, and channel geometry. However, the research on drag reduction in two-phase flow is not intensively investigated. Therefore, experimental investigations have been carried out to analyze the drag reduction and void fraction by polymer addition in the two-phase flow system. We find that the polymer solution changes the characteristic of two-phase flow. The peak position of local void friction moves from tile wall of the pipe to the center of the pipe when polymer concentration increase. And then we predict that it is closely related with the frau reduction.

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the performance of centrifugal pump with various air admitting conditions. Experiments on pump performance under air-water two-phase flow n accomplished using a centrifugal pump with semi-open type impeller having three, five and seven blades, respectively. Also, the numerical analysis of turbulent air-water two-phase flow using finite volume method has been carried out to obtain the pressure, velocities and void fraction on the basis of a so-called bubbly flow model with the constant size and shape of cavity. The results obtained through this study show the reasonable agreements within the range of bubbly flow regime. There are promising developments concerning application of the present study for the flow in a centrifugal pump with two-phase flow conditions and efforts must be followed to improve the turbulence model and two-phase flow model for turbomachinery.

The nonlinear signals from an impedance meter for the area average void fraction in two-phase flow have been analyzed to construct a phase space trajectory. The pseudo phase space was constructed with the time delay and proper dimensions. The time delay and the embedding dimension were chosen by the average mutual information and by the false nearest neighborhood, respectively. The attractor-density-map of projected states was used to produce the two dimensional probability distribution functions (2D-PDF). Since the developed 2D-PDF showed clear distinction of the flow patterns, the flow regime identification was made with three rules and with the 2D-PDF. Also, the transition criteria of Mishima-Ishii agree well with the present results.

This article presents a review on chaos analysis of two-phase flow. Chaos theory has recently been applied to two-phase flow analysis, and it gives promising measures to quantitatively identify two-phase flow patterns and pool boiling behaviors. But, consistency of the calculated chaotic measures were not completely confirmed yet. More experimental data are requested for chaos analysis of two-phase flow. Also, chaos analysis methodology should be developed by experimental verification.

The refrigerant after the expansion valve interchanges the heat at the evaporator. At this moment, the state of gas and liquid becomes two-phase flow and causes irregular noise. In order to avoid the noise, the two-phase flow pattern should be predicted. In this paper, the procedure to predict the two-phase flow patterns such as churn flow and annular flow was suggested using the CFD software. The experiments using refrigerant-supplying equipment was carried out and the noise levels according to the flow pattern were measured. The flow patterns predicted by this procedure showed good agreement with those by experiments. The churn flow is noisier than annular flow pattern.

초음속 유동과 2상 유동이 공존하는 화염유도로 내 유동해석을 위한 사전 해석검증의 일환으로, 초음속 단상 노즐 플룸의 2차원 축대칭 해석과 물 분사가 포함된 3차원 2상 아음속 유동을 해석하였다. 단상초음속 노즐 플룸의 경우 충격파 셀 구조를 통해 물리적으로 위배되는 현상은 발견되지 않았다. 물분사가 포함된 3차원 2상 아음속 유동의 경우, 액적의 거동과 기화 과정을 정성적으로 볼 수 있었으며 물 분사시 고온공기의 냉각 모사가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이들 기초 검증 결과들은 추후 초음속 2상 물분사 플룸 유동에 적용되어 3차원 화염유도로 해석에 응용될 예정이다.

It's known that pump head of centrifugal impeller with lager blade outlet angle is kept higher in air-water two phase flow condition, though the efficiency in water single phase flow condition is inferior. In the present study, a centrifugal impeller with variable blade outlet angles, that has higher efficiencies in both water single phase flow and air-water two phase flow conditions, is proposed. And the performances of the centrifugal impeller with variable blade outlet angles were experimentally investigated in both flow conditions of single and two-phase. In addition, effects of installing diffuser vanes on the performances of centrifugal pump with movable bladed impeller were also examined. The results are as follows: (1) The movable bladed impeller that proposed in this study is effective for higher efficiency in both water single phase and air-water two phase flow conditions. (2) When diffuser vanes are installed, the efficiency of movable bladed impeller decreases particularly at large water flow rate in water single-phase flow condition; (3) The performances of movable bladed impeller are improved by installing of diffuser vanes in air-water two-phase flow condition at relatively small water rate. The improvement by installing of diffuser vanes however disappears at large water flow rate.

2상 횡 유동은 응축기, 증발기와 원자력의 증기 발생기와 같은 열교환기의 튜브와 셀 사이에 존재한다. 공기/물의 2상 유동에 놓인 관군에 작용하는 항력을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 2상 유동에 놓인 관군은 정사각형 배열이다. 피치 직경 비는 1.35이었고, 실린더의 직경은 18 mm이다. 관군에 유동방향으로 작용하는 항력을 측정하여 항력계수와 2상 유동 감쇠비를 계산하였다. 2상 유동 감쇠비는 균질 2상 유동의 이론식을 사용하여 구하여 실험의 결과와 비교하였다. 압력과 항력의 상관계수를 실험결과를 고려하여 평가하였다. 상관계수는 이론적으로 항력을 계산할 때에 사용된다. 질량유량을 증가할수록 측정된 항력으로부터 구한 항력계수와 감쇠비가 균질 유동의 이론적 결과와 잘 일치함을 보이고 있다. 결과적으로 충분히 큰 질량 유량의 기포 유동인 경우에는 감쇠비를 균질 유동에 근거한 이론식으로 계산할 수 있다.
