A two-phase flow observed in a heat exchanger or nuclear power generation often has a profound effect on undesirable noise or flow characteristics. Void fraction, which refers to the ratio of gas (or liquid) to the total fluid, affects heat transfer coefficient, vibration and so forth. In other words, void fraction is one of most important parameters in two-phase flow since it contributes to comprehend the characteristics of two-phase flow. We developed a two-phase flow visualization system to measure cross-sectional and volumetric void fractions by using quick closing valves and image processing software. With this system, we could observe the plug, slug, and stratified flow patterns of two-phase flow and measure a myriad of void fractions. As a consequence of the experiment, we found that the estimated void fractions were largely coincident with the predictive values by Chisholm model.

This research is focused on the experimental study of the noise induced by two-phase refrigerant flow in the evaporator. The two-phase flow in the evaporator has various flow patterns. The effects of two-phase flow pattern's characteristics on the noise of the evaporator are investigated experimentally. The experimental data shows that the generated noise is mainly related to the layout of the pipe and the certain two-phase flow patterns such as the churn and slug flow. Based on these results, we removed the unnecessary vertical pipe and changed the pipe diameter of the evaporator - inlet into small one in order to avoid the intermittent flow condition. The noise level of newly-designed inlet-pipe of the evaporator was measured experimentally by refrigerant-supplying equipment and compared with that of conventional one.

강원도 흥호리 지역의 수리지질과 지하수의 오염취약성을 평가하였다. 연구지역의 주 대수층은 피압 단열암반 대수층으로 지하수 유동과 재충진이 주로 단열을 통해 이루어진다. 순간수위변화시험, 순간 간섭시험 그리고 양수시험을 통해 얻은 대상 대수층의 평균 투수량계수와 저유계수는 각각 3.2$\times$$10^{-3}$~2.0$\times$$10^{-2}$$m^2$/min, 1.3$\times$$10^{-7}$~9.15$\times$$10^{-4}$이다. 거주지역 상부에 위치한 축산단지의 오수로 인해 단열대의 지하수가 오염되었고 오염지하수가 단열대를 통해 이동함에 따라 하부 주민거주지역의 음용 지하수의 오염취약성을 드러내고 있다.

The present review report introduces the existing analysis codes and physical modeling of two-phase flow associated with initiating event of HCDA in Liquid Metal Reactors for the effective study in the future, because the related research has not been systematically carried out in Korea compared with other areas. The description in this report is specifically addressed to the results yielded from careful review of the technical concepts on the two-phase flow modeling in the SAS2A code which was developed in ANL. The report is prepared in 2 parts based on the definite physical phenomena. The liquid slug and gas behavior models are main representations in the part (I) and (II), respectively. In this regard, it is expected that this report provide a fundamental knowledge on the two-phase flow model in LMR and, thus, contribute to establishment of the necessary HCDA analysis technology concerned with the LMR development in Korea.

In this study, a single Taylor bubble and a train of Taylor bubbles rising in a vertical tube were simulated numerically. A finite difference method was used to solve the mass and momentum equations for the liquid-gas region. The liquid-gas interface was captured by a level set function which is defined a signed distance from the interface. For a train of Taylor bubbles repeated periodically in space, the periodic conditions were imposed at the boundaries normal to the gravitational direction and the pressure boundary conditions were iteratively determined so that the computed flow rate should be equal to a given flow rate. Based on the numerical simulation, the calculated shape and rise velocity of a Taylor bubble were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data reported in the literature.

The interfacial area transport equation dynamically models the changes in interfacial structures along the flow field by mechanistically modeling the creation and destruction of dispersed phase. Hence, when employed in the numerical thermal-hydraulic system analysis codes, it eliminates artificial bifurcations stemming from the use of the static flow regime transition criteria. Accounting for the substantial differences in the transport mechanism for various sizes of bubbles, the transport equation is formulated for two characteristic groups of bubbles. The group 1 equation describes the transport of small-dispersed bubbles, whereas the group 2 equation describes the transport of large cap, slug or chum-turbulent bubbles. To evaluate the feasibility and reliability of interfacial area transport equation available at present, it is benchmarked by an extensive database established in various two-phase flow configurations spanning from bubbly to chum-turbulent flow regimes. The geometrical effect in interfacial area transport is examined by the data acquired in vertical fir-water two-phase flow through round pipes of various sizes and a confined flow duct, and by those acquired In vertical co-current downward air-water two-phase flow through round pipes of two different sizes.

다공성 매질에서 오염물 이동에 지배적인 기작인 역학적 분산은 공극 내 유속 차이에 의해서 발생한다. 종분산계수와 종분산지수는 이송확산 모형의 수리분산 매개변수이며, 실험을 통하여 얻어야만 한다. 수리평균반경은 공극 내 물의 흐름 양의 크기와 강도를 표현할 수 있으며, 매질의 물리적 특성인자를 이용하여 계산할 수 있다. 본 연구는 순간주입 추적자실험을 통하여 자갈 다공성매질에서 수리평균반경을 이용하여 종분산지수를 구할 수 있는 거듭제곱형의 경험식을 도출하였다. 경험식은 스케일상수 계산식이 포함되어 있어 이동거리에 따른 종분산지수의 산정이 가능하며, 소규모 유량의 균질한 자갈로 구성된 수로에 적용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Horizontal two-phase flow pressure drop within rectangular channels with small gap heights have been examined experimentally. The gap heights range from 0.4mm to 4mm corresponding to aspect ratios(the channel height divided by the width) from 0.02 to 0.2. Water and air were used as the test fluids with the superficial velocity ranges being 0.03-2.39m/s and 0.05-18.7m/s, respectively. The experimental results In rectangular channels were compared with the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation, which are widely used for conventional round tube. The Lockhart-Martinelli correlation turned out to be Inappropriate to represent the present experimental data. In this respect, considering the aspect ratio and gap-height effects, an empirical correlation on two-phase flow pressure drop was proposed. The proposed correlation successfully covers the bubbly, plug, slug and annular flow regimes.
