레이놀즈 수의 시간 증가율이 벽면난류 구조에 미치는 영향을 난류 채널유동에 대한 직접수치모사를 수행하여 조사하였다. 완전 발달된 $Re_{\tau}=180$의 난류 채널유동이 가속을 받게 되어 평균속도로 무차원화된 레이놀즈 수가 5600에서 13600까지 선형적으로 변화하게 된다. 다양한 가속 시간에 대한 계산을 수행하여 벽면난류에 대한 가속율의 효과를 파악하였다. 유량의 증가율이 큰 경우에는 우회 천이와 유사한 현상이 발견되었으며, 유량의 증가율이 낮은 경우에는 우회 천이 현상이 거의 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과는 초기 레이놀즈 수와 최종 레이놀즈 수의 비 보다는 레이놀즈 수의 시간 증가율이 채널 내 과도유동에서의 우회 천이 현상 발생에 주요인자 임을 제시한다.

A theoretical analysis is performed to describe the qualitative behavior of transient buoyant flows in a vertical channel. Consideration is given to the case of a fluid with a pre-existing stratification. The fluid motion is generated by giving impulsive anti-symmetric step-changes in temperature at the vertical left ad right sidewalls. The qualitative character of the flow is shown to be classified in the Rayleigh number (Ra)-Prandtl number ($sigma$) diagram. The transitory approach to the steady state can be monotonic or oscillatory, depending on ($sigma$-1)$^2$$pi$$^4$ 4$sigma$$R_a$. The prominent characteristics of time-dependent flow are discussed for large $R_a$. The profiles of temperature and velocity in the transient phase are depicted, which disclose distinctive time scales of motion. The transient process is shown to be sensitive to the Prandtl number. The detailed evolutions of flow and temperature fields are illustrated for large $R_a$.

Liquid water in flow channel is an important factor that limits the steady and transient performance of PEM fuel cells. A computational fluid dynamics study based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF) multi-phase model is conducted to understand the transport behavior of liquid water in flow channel. The liquid water transport in $180^{\circ}$ bends is investigated and the effect of chamfering is discussed. The effect of wall adhesion is also considered by varying the contact angle of channel surfaces. The result of this study is believed to provide a useful guideline for design optimization of flow patterns or channel configurations of PEM fuel cells.

A numerical study of subcooled onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) in a micro-channel under pulsed heating using volume of fluids (VOF) model was conducted. The VOF simulation adopting the existing experimental condition is compared to the experimental data. The time to ONB was determined when the void fraction at the microheater surface first appeared. The theoretical superheat for homogeneous nucleation relatively predicts the transient ONB results of convective flow of water well based on local temperature distribution. It was found that once heat load increases at the heater, transient flow boiling starts to occur faster.

A numerical investigation is made of transient evolutionary prcocess of electroosmotic flow in a two-dimensional microchannel connected to a reservoir. The channel height is very small so that two electric double layers forming on the charged surfaces are overlapped. Transient transports of ions in the electrolyte solution are computed by integrating the Nernst-Planck equation together with the Poisson equation for electric potential. The numerical results illustrate that there are two distinct transient phases. The physical mechanisms and relevant time scales for the transient evolution are described.

The effect of inlet velocity profile on the heat transfer coefficient in a rotating smooth channel was investigated experimentally. Three simulated inlet flow conditions of fully developed, uniform, and distorted inlet conditions were tested. The Reynolds number based on the channel hydraulic diameter was ranged from 10,000 to 30,000 and the transient liquid crystal technique was used to measure the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient in the rotating channel. Results showed that the overall heat transfer coefficient increased as the Reynolds number increased. Also, the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient was strongly affected by the inlet flow condition. Generally, the fully developed flow simulated condition showed the highest heat transfer coefficient.

Liquid water in flow channel is an important factor that limits the steady and transient performance of PEM fuel cells. A computational fluid dynamics study based on the volume-of-fluid [VOF] multi-phase model was conducted to understand the two-phase flow behavior of liquid water in cathode gas channels. The liquid water transport in $180^{\circ}{\Delta}$ bends was investigated, where the effects of surface characteristics (hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces], channel geometries (rectangular and chamfered corners], and air velocity in channel were discussed. The two-phase flow behavior of liquid water with hydrophilic channel surface and that with hydrophobic surface was found very different; liquid water preferentially flows along the corners of flow channel in hydrophilic channels while it flows in rather spherical shape in hydrophobic channels. The results showed that liquid water transport was generally enhanced when hydrophobic channel with rounded corners was used. However, the surface characteristics and channel geometries became less important when air velocity was increased over 10m/s. This study is believed to provide a useful guideline for design optimization of flow patterns or channel configurations of PEM fuel cells.

Simplified approach has been adopted for the prediction of the thermal behavior of CANDU reactor core during power transients. Based on the assumption that the ratio of mass flow rate for each core channel does not vary during the transient, quasy-steady state analysis technique is applied with predicted core inlet boundary conditions(total mass flow rate and specific enthalpy). For restricted transient case, the presented method shows functionally reasonable estimation of core thermal behavior which could be implemented in the fast running reactor simulation program.

In this paper, heat transfer coefficients were measured in a channel with one side dimpled surface. The sphere type dimples were fabricated and the diameter and depth of dimple was 16mm and 4mm, respectively. Two channel heights of about 0.6 and 1.2 time of the dimple diameter, two dimple configuration were tested. The Reynolds numbers based on the channel hydraulic diameter was varied from 30000 to 50000. The improved hue detection based transient liquid crystal technique was used in the heat transfer measurement. Heat transfer measurement results showed that high heat transfer was induced downstream of dimples due to flow reattachment. Due to the flow recirculation on the upstream side in the dimple, the heat transfer coefficient was very low. As the Reynolds increased, the overall heat transfer coefficients also increased. With same dimple arrangement, the heat transfer coefficients and the thermal performance factor were higher for the lower channel height. As the distance between dimples became smaller, the overall heat transfer coefficient and the thermal performance factor were increased.

A numerical study of transient conjugate heat transfer on micro heater in a micro-channel substrate under a sinusoidal heat load was conducted. It was found that the time constant is not affected by the maximum heating magnitude of the sinusoidal heat load. However, the time constant increases with low duration of the sinusoidal heating period and low Reynolds number. Moreover, there is a threshold where a heater temperature do not reach to time constant at low thermal diffusivity, low flow rate, and low pulse duration of the sinusoidal heating. The time constant should be considered for transient convective heat transfer under transient sinusoidal heat load in a micro heat sink.
