A study has been carried out on the instability of a conical liquid sheet by using the linear instability theory. Various analytical methods using the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory were tried to examine the wave growth on cylindrical liquid sheets. Cylinderical liquid sheets were extended to the case with the conical sheets. Perturbations due to tangential motion as well as longitudinal one were taken into account. And it was assumed the the breakup occurs when amplitude ratio exceeds exp(12), drop sizes were predicted only by theoretical approach. The predicted drop size agreed well with the measured Sauter mean diameter, $D_{32}$.

A theoretical and experimental study was carried out on the prediction of drop size distribution of the pressure swirl atomizer. Drop size distribution was obtained by using maximum entropy formal ism. Several constraints in the form of the definition of mean diameter were used in this formulation in order to avoid the difficulties of the estimating source terms. In this study $D_{10}$ was only introduced into the formulation as a constraint. A drop size obtained by using linear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory was considered as an unknown characteristic length scale. As a result, the calculated drop size was agreed well with measured mean diameter, particularly with $D_{32}$. The predicted drop size distribution was agreed welt with experimental data measured wi th Malvern 2600.

Earth's magnetopause separating the fast and often turbulent magnetosheath and the relatively stagnant magnetosphere provides various forms of free energy that generate low-frequency surface waves. The source mechanism of this energy includes current-driven kinetic physical processes such as magnetic reconnection on the dayside magnetopause and flux transfer events drifting along the magnetopause, and velocity shear-driven (Kelvin-Helmholtz instability) or density/pressure gradient-driven (Rayleigh-Taylor instability) magnetohydro-dynamics (MHD) instabilities. The solar wind external perturbations (impulsive transient pressure pulses or quasi-periodic dynamic pressure variations) act as seed fluctuations for the magnetopause waves and trigger ULF pulsations inside the magnetosphere via global modes or mode conversion at the magnetopause. The magnetopause waves thus play an important role in the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling, which is the key to space weather. This paper presents recent findings regarding the generation of surface waves (e.g., Kelvin-Helmholtz waves) at the Earth's magnetopause and analytic and observational studies accountable for the linking of the magnetopause waves and inner magnetospheric ULF pulsations, and the impacts of magnetopause waves on the dynamics of the magnetopause and on the inner magnetosphere.

The instability of two-phase loop thermosyphons was investigated experimentally and analytically. 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 3.7 mm (no insert) to 0.71 mm 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 The analysis based on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability theory seems to predict reasonable well the loop stability state of the TLT with experimentally determined constant factors.

담수가 해수에서 흘러드는 하구에서는 성층이 관측되며 이것은 난류의 미세구조를 변화시키는 주요 원인으로 작용한다. 이러한 성층화 현상은 하구 내 부유사의 군집인 하구 최대혼탁수(Estuarine Turbidity Maximum, ETM)의 형성에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구는 성층의 하구 최대 혼탁수 생성 메커니즘에 관심을 두고 수치모델링을 활용한 미세 난류의 부유사 거동 분석에 초점을 두었다. 성층과 전단응력 사이의 난류 혼합을 대표하는 유동인 켈빈-헬름홀츠 불안정성(Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability)을 도입하고 성층 경계면 근처에서 부유사의 이송을 높은 레이놀즈수(Reynolds number) 유동에서 RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation)보다 다양한 규모의 에너지 획득이 가능하여 미세 난류 구조 재현에 장점을 갖는 Large-eddy Simulation(LES)를 활용하여 모사하였다. 여기에서, 부유사는 주위 유동의 물리적 특성 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 Passive scalar로 가정하였으며 $6^{th}$-order Lagrangian 다항식 보간법을 적용하여 입자의 이동 속도를 계산하고 이를 시간에 대해 적분함으로써 이동 궤적을 추적하였다. 수치 모델 결과 Lock-exchange 유동 내에서 켈빈-헬름홀츠 불안정성이 발생함에 따라 경계면 주위에 위치한 부유사가 billow 내에서 트랩핑(trapping)되는 것을 보여주어 KH-billow 혹은 braids 내의 미세 난류에 의한 영향이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 LES를 활용하여 성층류 및 성층류 내의 부유사 혼합을 모사하여 난류의 정도에 따른 이동 궤적의 차이에 대해서 분석함으로써 성층의 난류 강도 저하에 따른 부유사의 군집으로의 영향에 대해 서술한다.

The rivulet is a narrow stream of liquid flowing down a solid surface. When the rivulet\`s flow rate exceeds a certain limit, it tends to meander exhibiting the instability of its interface. This analysis performs a perturbation analysis of this meandering rivulet assuming an inviscid flow possessing contact angle hysteresis at the contact line. The analysis reveals that the contact angle hysteresis as well as the velocity difference across the inter-face, strongly induces the instability of the liquid interface. Moreover, when the rivulet veto-city is low, it is predicted that the axisymmetric disturbance amplifies more rapidly than the anti-axisymmetric disturbance, which explains the emergence of the droplet flow at the low velocity regime.
