대기압 플라즈마 제트 장치의 유량 변화에 대한 플라즈마 방전 특성을 실험적으로 조사하고 이를 유체역학적으로 해석하였다. 유리관에 주입되는 아르곤 기체의 유량 변화에 대한 레이놀즈 수(Re)로 결정되는 기체 흐름의 형태 변화와 베르누이 정리에 의한 압력 변화가 플라즈마 발생에 영향을 준다. 유리관 내부에 발생하는 플라즈마의 길이 변화의 실험을 통하여, 아르곤 기체에 대한 레이놀즈 수가 Re<2,000이면 층류이고, Re>4,000이면 난류가 형성된다. 이는 일반 유체에서 알려진 결과와 일치한다. 층류에서 유량의 증가로 플라즈마의 길이가 증가한다. 층류와 난류의 전환 영역에서 플라즈마의 길이는 줄어든다. 난류 영역에서는 방전 기체의 흐름이 불규칙함으로서 방전 경로가 흐트러져 플라즈마 칼럼의 길이가 매우 짧아지고 급기야 플라즈마가 소멸된다. 층류에서 주입 유량의 증가로 유리관 내의 유속이 증가하면, 베르누이 정리에 의하여 유리관 내부의 압력이 낮아진다. 관내의 압력이 낮아지면, 파센 법칙에 의하여 관내의 전기장의 세기가 증가하여 방전 전압이 낮아진다. 따라서 주입 유량이 증가하면, 동일한 구동 전압에서 유리관에 발생하는 플라즈마의 길이는 길어진다. 층류의 방전은 유리관 밖에서도 층류의 흐름이 일정 길이로 유지되므로 시료 표면에 조사되는 플라즈마 빔의 직경은 유리관의 직경 이하로 유지된다.

In this study, the Stokes flow in the microchannel is analysed where the semicircular protuberances with constant spacing are attached on the upper and lower walls with staggered arrangement. For the low Reynolds number flow in microchannel, Stokes approximation is used and the periodicity and symmetry of the flow are considered to determine the stream function and pressure distribution in the flow field by using the method of least squared error. As results, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions in the flow field are shown for some specific values of the size and spacing of the protuberances, and shear stress distributions on the surface of semicircular protuberances are plotted. Especially, for an important physical property, the average pressure gradient along the microchannel is obtained and compared with that for the case of in-phase arrangement of the upper and lower protuberances. And, for the small clearance between the protuberances of upper and lower walls or between the protuberances and the opposite wall, the average pressure gradient is derived from the lubrication theory and compared with that of the present study.

The study of bacterial flagellar swimming motion remains an interesting and challenging research subject in the fields of hydrodynamics and bio-locomotion. This swimming motion is characterized by very low Reynolds numbers, which is unique and time reversible. In particular, the effect of rotation of helical flagella of bacterium on swimming motion requires detailed multi-disciplinary analysis. Clear understanding of such swimming motion will not only be beneficial for biologists but also to engineers interested in developing nanorobots mimicking bacterial swimming. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of a three dimensional single flagellated bacteria has been developed and the fluid flow around the flagellum is investigated. CFD-based modeling studies were conducted to find the variables that affect the forward thrust experienced by the swimming bacterium. It is found that the propulsive force increases with increase in rotational velocity of flagellum and viscosity of surrounding fluid. It is also deduced from the study that the forward force depends on the geometry of helical flagella (directly proportional to square of the helical radius and inversely proportional to pitch).

식물공장은 환경적 조건을 조절하여 계절이나 장소에 관계없이 농산물을 일정하게 생산하는 식물재배 시스템이다. 식물공장에 있어서 내부의 열 유동은 식물공장의 중요한 변수이다. 본 논문에서는 다층 재배선반을 갖는 하이브리드 식물공장 내의 열유동 특성을 수치 시뮬레이션을 통해 연구하였다. 열 유동 특성의 수치해를 얻기 위해 유한체적법(Finite Volume Method)을 이용하였다. 수치해석 모델에 있어서는 저 레이놀드수(low Reynolds number) ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ 난류모델을 이용하였으며, 해석방법으로는 비압축성 점성유동 영역과 압력경계 조건을 사용하였다. 수치해석에 있어, 3종류의 유입 공기속도와 재배선반의 위치변화에 따른 식물공장 내의 열유동 특성을 상용 프로그램인 Solid Works Flow simulation을 사용하였다. 수치해석을 통한 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 송풍기를 통한 식물공장 내의 유입 공기속도를 1.6 m/s로 하였을 때, Case 3의 재배선반 배치가 비교적 균일한 온도 분포를 나타내었고, LED광만을 사용한 Case 1의 배치는 시험베드(test bed) TB2와 TB3 영역의 낮은 온도분포로 인하여 서큘레이터 등을 통한 추가적인 온도 제어가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다. 둘째, 식물재배 LED 인공광(DYLED47)의 청색광과 적색광의 비율을 1:1로 100% 구동 시, 재배선반의 평균 온도가 약 $3^{\circ}C$ 증가하였다. 본 논문은 한국산학기술학회 논문지 심사용 투고요령입니다.

The characteristics of turbulent flow and mixing in a small can type combustor are investigated by means of Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Attention is paid for a combustor having a baffle plate with oxidant injection and fuel injection holes and study is made for three cases of different baffle plate configurations. From the result, it is confirmed that mixing is promoted by interaction between the jets during their developing process and large vortical flows generated in the vicinity of the combustor wall or fuel jet front. This particular flow feature is effective to accelerate the slow mixing between fuel and oxidant suffering from low Reynolds number condition in such a small combustor. In particular, the vortical flow region ahead of fuel jet plays an important role for rapid mixing. Discussion is made for the time and space averaged turbulent flow and scalar quantities which show peculiar characteristics corresponding to different vortical flow structures for each baffle plate shapes.

Missile and fighter aircraft have been challenged by low restoring nose-down pitching moment at high angle of attach. The consequence of weak nose-down pitching moment can be resulting in a deep stall condition. Especially, the pressure oscillation has a huge effect on noise generation, structure damage, aerodynamic performance and safety, because the flow has strong unsteadiness at high angle of attack. In this paper, the unsteady aerodynamics coefficients were analyzed at high angle of attack up to 50 degrees around two dimensional NACA0012 airfoil. The two dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equation with a LES turbulent model was calculated by OHOC (Optimized High-Order Compact) scheme. The flow conditions are Mach number of 0.3 and Reynolds number of $10^5$. The lift, drag, pressure, entropy distribution, etc. are analyzed according to the angle of attack. The results of average lift coefficients are compared with other results according to the angle of attack. From a certain high angle of attack, the strong vortex formed by the leading edge are flowing downstream as like Karman vortex around a circular cylinder. The primary and secondary oscillating frequencies are analyzed by the effects of these unsteady aerodynamic characteristics.

The computations of chemically reacting laminar and turbulent flows are performed using the preconditioned Navier-Stokes solver coupled with turbulent transport and multi-species equations. A low-Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model proposed by Chien is used. The presence of the turbulent kinetic energy tenn in the momentum equation can materially affect the overall stability of the fluids-turbulence system. Because of this coupling effect, a fully coupled formulation is desirable and this approach is taken in the present study. Choi and Merkle's preconditioning technique is used to overcome the convergence difficulties occurred at low speed flows. The numerical scheme used for the present study is based on the implicit upwind ADI algorithm and is validated through the comparisons of computational and experimental results for laminar methane-air diffusion flame and $ H_2/O_2$ reacting turbulent shear flow. Preconditioning formulation shows better convergence characteristics than that of non-preconditioned system by approximately five times as much.

The present study numerically investigates the effect of the wavy leading edge on hydrodynamic characteristics for the flow of rectangular wings with the low aspect ratio of 1.5. Five different wave lengths at fixed wavy amplitude have been considered. Numerical simulations are performed at a wide range of the angle of attack ($0^{\circ}{\leq}{\alpha}{\leq}40^{\circ}$) at one Reynolds number of $10^6$. The wavy wings considered in this study did not experience enough lift drop to be defined as the stall, comparing with the smooth wing. However, in the pre-stall region, the wavy wings reveal the considerable loss of the lift, compared to the smooth wing. In the post-stall, the lift coefficients of the smooth wing and the wavy wings are not much different. The pressure coefficient, limiting streamlines and the iso-surface of the spanwise vorticity are also highlighted to examine the effect of the wave length on the flow structures.

Wake characteristics of the flow over a finite square prism at different incidence angles were experimentally investigated using an open-loop wind tunnel. A finite square prism with a width D = 15 mm and a height H = 7D was vertically mounted on a horizontal flat plate. The Reynolds number was varied from $6.5{\times}10^3$ to $28.5{\times}10^3$ and the incidence angle ${\alpha}$ was changed from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$. The ratio of boundary layer thickness to the prism height was about ${\delta}/H=7%$. The time-averaged velocity, turbulence intensity and the vortex shedding frequency were obtained through a single-component hotwire probe. Power spectrum of the streamwise velocity fluctuations revealed that the tip and base vortices shed at the same frequency as that ofspanwise vortices. Furthermore, the results showed that the critical incidence angle corresponding to the maximum Strouhal number and minimum wake width occurs at ${\alpha}_{cr}=15^{\circ}$ which is equal to that reported for an infinite prism. There is a reduction in the size of the wake region along the height of the prism when moving away from the ground plane towards the free end.
