  • The study of confined liquid crystals flourished in the decade of the nineties. Liquid crystals properties have been probed after confinement in well-defined or interconnected geometries as those available in porous media and in polymer networks. In this work we emphasized the power of the nuclear magnetic resonance technique to determine the confined liquid crystal structures. We also present unexpected results on the dependence of the confined liquid crystal configuration on the chain length.

  • Recently, for the thermal system design in an engine room, the importance of the numerical analysis on the heat and fluid flow has been recognized. In the present study, the flow inside an engine room with complex geometry was analysed by use of TURBO-3D program being developed in KIST. Radiator and Cooling fan were simulated by porous media and momentum sources, and the result shows a good agreement with our expectation.

  • Skin, the complex membrane that holds the body together, also embraces the full spectrum of design today-from product to architecture, fashion, and media. Every object has a skin. thick or thin, smooth or rough, porous or impermeable, the skin is the line between a hidden interior and an exterior we experience. Skin: Surface, Substance and Design is a compendium of products, furniture, fashion, architecture and media that expand the limits of what we understand as surface. Reflecting the convergence of natural and artificial life, this provocative a thesis shows how enhanced and simulated skins appear everywhere in today's world.

  • The drainage was used to determine the specific filtration resistance for wood and non-wood fibers. The drainage rate is also affected by factors that can be changed on consistency, pressure drop across the mat, basis weight, additives, and viscosity. Recent development of theoretical studies in flow through porous media and filtration operation emphasize the urgent need for more accurate data for porosity and specific filtration resistance. This study was investigated to determine specific filtration resistance of Hw, Sw-BKP and Kenaf fiber by filtration experimental. Freeness levels selected were 150,250,and $350m\ell$ CSF. The average specific filtration resistance decreased as freeness increased and resistance of Sw-BKP was greater than that of Hw-BKP. The filtrate and porosity increased and specific filtration resistance decreased as particle size of fiber increased.

  • Concrete, as a porous media, has permeability and it is considered as a major parameter for durability evaluation. Cold joint caused by delayed placing of concrete accelerates water permeation and intrusion of harmful ions. In the paper, concrete specimens containing GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) are prepared with cold joint section, and water permeability and water flow at the age of 91 days are measured for 2 weeks. Sound concrete with GGBFS shows decreased permeability to 89% for sound concrete with OPC and 0.86 of decreasing ratio is evaluated in GGBFS concrete with cold joint. Through WPT (Water Penetration Test), the effects of mineral admixture and cold joint on water permeability are evaluated, and variation in water behavior via cold joint is analyzed through probabilistic method as well.

  • This study conducted a laboratory work to determine the change of dielectric constant of saturated soil porous media, which is injecting EML to use Frequency Domain Reflectometry(FDR) system and length 7cm-length measurement sensor. It is purpose of study that estimate a movement path through pore of soil for an ethanol mixing liquid(EML) which have the same specific gravity of water at $20{\;}^{\circ}C$, and determine to a dielectric measuring range for the measurement sensor. As an outflow point of saturated soil column upper part recedes from an EML inject point in EML diffusion test, the diffusion extent of EML through pore of saturated soil was expanded. And results of ail EML flow experiment were measured the change of dielectric constant at all measurement sensors which are placed to constant interval at the same travel time for saturated soil column. Therefore, the displace process of water that exist in pore of saturated soil by EML injection is enough available and confirm together mobility through pores.

  • The conventional numerical models to analyze flow in subsurface porous media under the transient state usually generate numerical oscillation and unstability due to local flux domain for critical cases such as infiltration into initially dry soil during rainfall period. In this case, it is required refined mesh and small time step, but it decrease efficiency of computation. In this study, numerical unstability in discontinuity domain is removed by applying particle tracking algorithm to simulate unsteady subsurface flow with inflow boundary condition. Finally the hybrid LE FEM improving numerical stability is proposed. The hypothetical domains with unsteady uniform and nonuniform flow field were used to demonstrated algorithm verification. In comparison with analytic solution, we obtained reasonable results and conducted simulation of hypothetical 3-D recharge/pumping area. The proposed algorithm can simulate saturated/unsaturated porous media with more practical problems and will greatly contribute to accuracy and stability of numerical computation.
