The objectives of the present study are to numerically and experimentally investigate the steady and pulsatile flow phenomena in the circular tubes, to quantitatively compare the flow characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, and to find meaningful hemodynamic information through the flow analysis in the human blood vessels. The particle image velocimetry is adopted to visualize the flow fields in the circular tube. and the results from the particle image velocimetry are used to validate the results of the numerical analysis. In order to investigate the blood flow phenomena in the circular tube. constitutive equations, which are suitable to describe the rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids. are determined, and the steady and pulsatile momentum equations are solved by the finite volume prediction. The velocity vectors of the steady and pulsatile flow in the circular tube obtained by the particle image velocimetry arc in good agreement with those by the numerical analysis. For the given mass flow rate. the axial velocity profiles of the Newtonian and the non-Newtonian fluids appear differently. The pulsatile flow phenomena of the Newtonian and the non-Newtonian fluids are quite different from those of the steady flow.

The reattachment lengths of the Non-Newtonian fluid are investigated in the sudden expansion pipes whose ratios are 2.316 and 3.368, and the range of the Reynolds numbers is 100-30000. The reattachment lengths for the viscoelastic fluid in the laminar flow region are found to be much shorter than those of the Newtonian fluid, and decrease significantly with the increase of the concentration of viscoelastic fluid is two or three times longer than those of water, and gradually increases with the increase of the concentration of viscoelastic fluid.

The laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer of anisotropic fluids in the vicinity of a wedge have been examined with constant surface temperature. The similarity variables found by Falkner and Skan are employed to reduce the stream wise-dependence in the coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations. The numerical solutions are presented using the fourth-order Runge - Kutta method and the distribution of velocity, micro-rotation, shear and couple stresses and temperature across the boundary layer are plotted. These results are also compared with the corresponding flow problems for Newtonian fluid over wedges. It is found that for a constant wedge angle, the skin friction coefficient is lower for micropolar fluid, as compared to Newtonian fluid. For the case of the constant material parameter K, however, the magnitude of velocity for anisotropic fluid is greater than that of Newtonian fluid. The numerical results also show that for a constant wedge angle with a given Prandtl number, Pr = I, the effect of increasing values of K results in increasing thermal boundary layer thickness for anisotropic fluid, as compared with Newtonian fluid. For the case of the constant material parameter K, however, the heat transfer rate for anisotropic fluid is lower than that of Newtonian fluid.

Numerical Calculations for dimensionless pressure drop (friction factor times Reynolds number) have been obtained for fully developed laminar flow of MPL(Modified Power Law) fluid in isosceles triangle pipes. The solutions are valid for Pseudoplastic fluids over a wide range from Newtonian behavior at low shear rates through transition region to power law behavior at higher shear rates. The analysis identified a dimensionless shear rate parameter which for a given set of operating conditions specifies where in the shear rate range a particular system is operating, i.e., Newtonian, transition or power law region. The numerical calculation data of the dimensionless pressure drop for the Newtonian and power law regions are compared with previously published asymptotic results presenting within 0.16 % in Newtonian region and 2.98 % in power law region.

In this study, using the governing equation for thermohydrodyamic lubrication involving the homogeneous mixture of incompressible fluid derived by based on the principle of continuum mechanics, it is discussed the effects of water within engine oil on the performance of high speed journal bearing of a turbocharger. The governing equations are the general equations being able to be applied on the mixture of Newtonian fluid and non- Newtonian fluid. Here, the fluid viscosity index, n of power-law non-Newtonian fluid is supposed to be 1 for the application of the journal bearing in a turbocharger lubricated with the mixture of two Newtonian fluid, for example, water within engine oil. The results related with the bearing performance are shown that the bearing friction is to decrease and the side leakage and bearing load increase as increasing the water content in an engine oil.

The results related with the bearing performance are showed that the friction force and bearing load capacity decrease as increasing the volume percent of water.

The present study proposes a modified temperature-dependent non-Newtonian viscosity model and investigates the flow characteristics and heat transfer enhancement of the viscoelastic non-Newtonian fluid in a 2:1 rectangular duct. The combined effects of temperature dependent viscosity, buoyancy, and secondary flow caused by the second normal stress difference are considered. Calculated Nusselt numbers by the modified temperature-dependent viscosity model give good agreement with the experimental results. The heat transfer enhancement of viscoelastic fluid in a rectangular duct is highly dependent on the secondary flow caused by the magnitude of second normal stress difference.

간척지 매립에 있어서 최근에는 토사를 해저에서 준설하여 파이프라인을 통해 유송시켜 매립시키는 방법이 많이 쓰여지고 있다. 이러한 경우 토사와 혼합된 유체는 slurry fluid의 성질을 지닌다. slurry fluid는 점성도가 독특한 양상을 보이기 때문에 준설토 유송의 관련수치 산정에는 slurry flow 특성을 반영한 관마찰계수 산정식을 사용해야 한다. 준설토를 함유한 slurry fluid는 주로 함유된 입자의 크기에 따라 Newtonian fluid 또는 non-Newtonian fluid 특성을 갖는데, 본 연구에서는 각 특성조건별로 관마찰계수 산정식을 지수함수 형태로 제시하였으며, 이를 이용하여 준설토 유송을 위한 용량산정에 있어 펌프동력 뿐만 아니라 관경 및 유량에 대하여도 양해법 형태의 산정식을 개발하였다.

일정한 표면 온도를 갖는 쐐기형 물체 주위를 지나는 미세 극성유체의 정상상태 층류유동에 대하여 고찰하였다. Falkner & Skan에 의하여 유도된 상사해법을 이용하여 유동방향의 비선형 경계층 방정식의 해를 구하였다. 4계 Runge-Kutta법을 사용하여 Pr 수가 1일 경우의 열전달 특성을 수치적으로 해석하였고, 물질 매개변수에 대한 영향을 고찰하였다. 경계층을 가로지르는 무차원 속도와 Nusselt 수의 분포는 쐐기형 물체 주위를 지나는 Newtonian 유체의 경우와 비교하였다. Pr 수가 1이고 일정한 쐐기각을 가질 경우 물질 매개변수 K값이 증가할수록 Newtonian 유체의 경우보다 미세 극성유체의 경우 경계층의 두께가 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 그러나 물질매개변수 K값이 일정할 경우, Newtonian 유체보다 미세 극성유체의 열전달율이 더 작은 경향을 나타내었다.
