Artificial heart is divided by pulsation flow type and continuous flow type according to blood circulation pattern. Axial flow blood pump is a kind of continuous flow type artificial heart. Axial flow blood pump would be different pump performance according to impeller's shape and rotating velocity. Pump performance be able to compare by flow rate according to differential pressure and Impeller's rotating velocity. It confirms Impeller model of better efficiency according to compare Pump performance of axial flow blood pump using CFD with actual experiment result.

Effect of loop seal geometry on solid circulation characteristics was investigated with two different types of upper loop seals and lower loop seals in a gas-solid fluidized bed system. Upper loop seal which has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts requires more fluidization gas to maintain smooth solid circulation. Moreover, the lower loop seal which has a wide gap requires more fluidization gas to achieve the same solid circulation rate. These results can be explained by results of minimum fluidization velocity in the lower loop seals. Consequently, if a loop seal has a wide gap between solid intake and outlet parts, more fluidization gases should be fed to ensure enough solid circulation rate and smooth solid circulation.

The flow of cooling water in a passive containment cooling system (PCCS), used to remove heat released in design basis accidents from a concrete containment of light water nuclear power plant, was conducted in order to investigate the thermo-fluid equilibrium among many parallel tubes of PCCS. Numerical simulations of the subcooled boiling flow within a coolant loop of a PCCS, which will be installed in innovative pressurized-water reactor (PWR), were conducted using the commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-CFX. Shear stress transport (SST) and the RPI model were used for turbulence closure and subcooled flow boiling, respectively. As the first step, the simplified geometry of PCCS with 36 tubes was modeled in order to reduce computational resource. Even and uneven thermal loading conditions were applied at the outer walls of parallel tubes for the simulation of the coolant flow in the PCCS at the initial phase of accident. It was observed that the natural circulation maintained in single-phase for all even and uneven thermal loading cases. For uneven thermal loading cases, coolant velocity in each tube were increased according to the applied heat flux. However, the flows were mixed well in the header and natural circulation of the whole cooling loop was not affected by uneven thermal loading significantly.

Current measurements at 3 sections and numerical experiments were carried out in Masan Bay to understand the effect of the wind on the residual currents and pollutant transport. The vertical distribution of horizontal velocities were directly affected by the wind at the depths of 1m and 2m beneath the sea surface. Analysis of the velocity data suggested that changes in the vertical gravitational circulation contributed to the net circulation. The net transport of water through the northern part of the bay was observed to be landward, with wind-induced transport of about 100m super(3)/s. Hence, wind is concluded to be the dominant mechanism driving the net circulation in the northern area of Masan Bay. Numerical experiments are shown that when S wind with 5m/s blew, northern area of the bay was generated the horizontal circulation of clockwise and local gyre. On the contrary of those, N wind made her to the anti-clockwise. In the case of no wind, the tidal residual current(constant flow) is very small or neglected except the bay-mouth. The inflow or outflow pattern of the mouth is considered as the flows generated by tidal residual current only. The distance of wind-induced transport of pollutant was as long as 2 times of no wind during the one tidal period.

For the first time, the characteristics of solid circulation rate ($G_S$) were investigated in a three-phase (gas-liquid-solid) viscous circulating fluidized bed (TPCFB). The solid circulation rate was controlled separately by adjusting the experimental apparatus as well as operating variables. Effects of primary and secondary liquid velocities ($U_{L1}$ and $U_{L2}$), gas velocity ($U_G$), particle size ($d_p$), height of particles piled up in the solid recycle device (h), and viscosity of continuous liquid media (${\mu}_L$) on the value of $G_S$ were determined. The experimental results showed that the value of $G_S$ increased with increases in the values of $U_{L1}$, $U_{L2}$, h and ${\mu}_L$, while it decreased with increasing $U_G$ and $d_p$ in TPCFBs with viscous liquid media. The values of $G_S$ were well correlated in terms of dimensionless groups within this experimental conditions.

As endothelial cells are subject to flow shear stress, it is important to determine the detailed velocity distribution in microvessels in the study of mechanical interactions between blood and endothelium. This paper describes a velocity field of the arteriole in the rat mesentery using an intravital microscope and high-speed digital video system obtained by a highly accurate PIV technique. Red blood cells (RBCs) velocity distributions with spatial resolutions of $0.8{\times}0.8{\mu}m$ were obtained even near the wall in the center plane of the arteriole. By making ensemble-averaged time-series of velocity distributions, velocity profiles over different cross-sections were calculated for comparison. The shear rate at the vascular wall also evaluated on the basis of the ensemble-averaged profiles. It was shown that the velocity profiles were blunt in the center region of the vessel cross-section while they were steep in the near wall region. The wall shear rates were significantly small, compared with those estimated from the Poiseuille profiles.

점성유체 액체-고체 순환유동층에서 고체순환속도의 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 주액체유속, 2차액체의 유속, 유동입자의 크기, 액체의 점도 그리고 입자의 재순환을 위한 장치에서 입자 저장층의 높이가 입자의 순환속도에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 입자의 순환속도는 주액체의 유속, 2차액체의 유속, 액체의 점도 그리고 입자저장층의 높이가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나, 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라서는 감소하였다. 순환유동층의 상승관에서 유동입자의 상승속도는 주액체유속과 2차액체의 유속비($U_{L1}/U_{L2}$)와 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 상승관에서 입자의 미끄러짐속도 즉, 연속액상의 유속과 유동입자의 상승속도비($U_L/U_S$)는 연속 액상의 점도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나, 유동입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 구한 고체 순환속도는 실험변수 및 무차원군의 함수들로 상관식을 얻을 수 있었다.

버섯의 단위면적당 생산량을 증대시키기 위하여 다단으로 재배되는 버섯재배사는 재배균상이 내부공기의 유동을 막는 장애물로 작용하여 균상의 아래쪽과 위쪽간의 환경차이가 발생한다. 이러한 환경차이 때문에 버섯재배 균상의 위치에 따른 생육차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서와 같이 버섯재배사 내부에서 버섯이 생육되지 않는 작업통로의 상단에 천장방향으로 대류팬을 설치하여 운용하면 재배사 내부의 공기를 전체적으로 균일하게 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 버섯재배사 내부에 설치된 각종 환경조절장치 즉 유니트쿨러, 입기팬, 배기팬, 대류팬, 가습기 등이 모두 한꺼번에 가동될 때는 버섯재배 균상위의 RMS 값이 속도 23.86%, 온도 6.08%, 습도 2.72%로 나타났다. 하지만 유니트쿨러와 대류팬이 가동될 때는 균상위의 RMS 값이 속도 23.54%, 온도 0.51%, 습도 0.41%로 나타났다. 따라서 버섯재배사의 환경조절을 위한 입기팬, 배기팬과 가습기는 용량이 큰 것을 설치하여 전체적인 가동시간을 줄이고, 유니트쿨러와 대류팬을 조합한 환경관리 방법이 내부 환경의 균일성 향상에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The x-ray PIV method was improved for measuring quantitative velocity fields of real blood flows using a coherent synchrotron x-ray source. Without using any contrast media or seeding particles, this method can visualize flow pattern of blood by enhancing the phase-contrast and interference characteristics of blood cells based on a synchrotron x-ray imaging mechanism. The enhanced x-ray images were achieved by optimizing the sample-to-scintillator distance, the sample thickness, and hematocrit. The quantitative velocity fields of blood flows inside opaque tubes were obtained by applying a 2-frame PIV algorithm to the x-ray images of the blood flows. The measured velocity field data show typical features of blood flows such as the yield stress effect. The non-Newtonian flow characteristics of blood flows were analyzed using the x-ray PIV method and the experimental results were compared with hemodynamic models.

Ultrasonic pulsed Doppler velocimetry has become a standard international method of classifying carotid disease. Because the measured angle adjusted velocity increases as the Doppler angle increases, examinations should be performed at a convenient standard Doppler examination angle. An angle of 60 degrees is achievable throughout most examinations. Multiple Doppler viewing angles allow the acquisition of velocity vectors during the cardiac cycle, revealing the complex velocity patterns. Ultrasonic velocimetry (whether Doppler or time domain) is based on changes in the phase of the ultrasound echo. Other examinations can be done based on the echo phase. Slow motions of organs such as the brain can be used to monitor changes in edema. Measurements of tissue strain due to the pulsatile filling of the arterioles. This plethysmographic imaging method can display differences in tissue perfusion because of different tissue types and changes in autonomic activity.
