본 연구에서는 미세물분무의 특성이 열복사 감쇠에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위한 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 고온의 복사 패널로부터 전파되는 열복사가 미세물분무를 통과하여 약화되는 과정을 FDS를 이용하여 해석하였고, 미세물분무의 분사유량, 액적평균입경과 분무각에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 해석 결과로부터 분사유량의 증가와 액적크기의 감소가 열복사 감쇠 효과를 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 복사열이 통과하는 분무 공간 분포의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 분사각을 변화시켜 열복사 특성을 분석하였으며 분사각이 클수록 복사 감쇠 효과가 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 이것은 유사한 액적크기분포와 유량조건에서도 액적들이 공간적으로 더 넓게 퍼져 있는 경우 복사의 감쇠 효과가 더 커질 수 있음을 보여준다.

최근 표면개질을 통한 젖음성 향상을 위하여, 마이크로와 나노 구조가 계층적(hierarchical)으로 존재하는 표면에 대한 연구가 공학 및 다양한 연구 분야에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 계층적구조가 존재하는 표면에서 초친수성(super-hydrophillic)은 대개 물방울(water droplet)의 계면 거동에 의해 그 특성이 확인된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 초친수성 표면위에서의 물방울 계면 거동에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 포토리소그래피(photo lithography)공정과 건식 식각공정을 이용하여, 정량적으로 표면을 제작하였으며, 실험 표면에서의 계면 거동은 초고속카메라로 가시화하였다. 가시화 자료를 바탕으로, 물방울 계면거동은 표면에 존재하는 마이크로 및 나노구조의 지형학적 특성에 의해 영향을 받음을 확인하였다.

An electrostatic ink jet head can be used for manufacturing processes of large display systems and printed circuit boards (PCB) as well as inkjet printers because an electrostatic field provides an external force which can be manipulated to control sizes of droplets. The existing printing methods such as thermal bubble and piezo inkjet heads have shown difficulties to control the ejection of the droplets for printing applications. Thus, the new inkjet head using the electrostatic force has been proposed in this study. In order to prove the theory of the developed electrostatic ink jet head, the applicable and basic theory has been studied using distilled water and water with sodium dodecyl surfate (SDS). Also, a numerical analysis has been performed to calculate the intensity of the electrostatic field using the Maxwell's equation. Furthermore, experiments have been carried out using a downward glass capillary with outside diameter of $500{\mu}m$. The gravity, surface tension, and electrostatic force have been analyzed with high voltages of 0 to 5kV. It has been observed that the droplet size decreases and the frequency of the droplet formation and the velocity of the droplet ejection increase with increasing the intensity of the electrostatic field. The results of the experiments have shown good agreement with those of numerical analysis.

Water management is an important issue of PEM fuel cell operation. Water is the product of the electrochemical reactions inside fuel cell. If liquid water accumulation becomes excessive in a fuel cell, water columns will clog the gas flow channel. This condition is referred to as flooding. A number of researchers have examined the water removal methods in order to improve the performance. In this paper, a new water removal method that investigates the use of vibro-acoutic methods is presented. Piezo-actuators which are devices to generate the flexural wave are attached at the end of a cathode bipolar plate. Flexural wave is used to impart energy to resting droplets and thus cause movement of the droplets in the direction of the traveling wave.

To investigate characteristics and micro-explosion of single-droplets of emulsified fuel, water is mixed with diesel oil by using ultrasonic energy fuel feeding system. The fuel characteristics is analysed through H-NMR spectrum and micro-explosion phenomena of the emulsified fuel is also investigated. The life times of droplets of conventional diesel fuel, ultrasonic energy added diesel fuel and emulsified fuel we obtained additionally. According to this study, the micro-explosion phenomena of single-droplets happen in atmospheric pressure condition, a curve form of emulsified fuel's life tim is different from diesel fuel's one and the change of chemical structures is a cause of ultrasonic-energy-added diesel fuel effect.

두 가지의 비표면 가시화 기법과 이들 기법의 와류 적용 예를 기술한다. 두 가지 가시화 기법 중 하나는 전통적인 연기선 기법이고, 또 다른 하나는 가정용 초음파 가습기에서 발생하는 미세 수적을 사용하는 기법이다. 연기선 기법은 공기 흐름 속도에 제한이 있으며(0.07 mm 지름의 연기선의 경우 약 5 m/sec), 오염의 문제점이 있지만 매우 정교하고 선명한 연기 유맥선 시트를 발생시킬 수 있다. 이 기법은 3차원 날개의 날개 끝 와류의 가시화에 적용되었다. 초음파 가습기 미세 수적 기법은 연기선 기법에 비하여 공기 흐름 속도를 보다 크게 할 수 있으며(10 m/sec 이상), 독성과 오염의 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 초음파 가습기 미세 수적 기법은 정점 스트레이크를 가지는 이중 삼각날개에서 발생하는 복잡한 와류 시스템의 가시화에 성공적으로 적용되었다.

In this study, we investigated the dynamics of a droplet impacting rough hydrophobic surfaces through high-speed imaging. Micrometer-sized structures with grooves and pillars were fabricated on smooth Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces by laser ablation. We used Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid droplets to study the drop impact dynamics. De-ionized water and aqueous glycerin solutions were used for the Newtonian liquid droplet. The solutions of xanthan gum in water were prepared to provide elastic property to the Newtonian droplet. We found that the orientation of the surface structures affected the maximal spreading diameter of the droplet due to the degree of slippage. During the droplet retraction, the dynamic receding contact angles were measured to be around 90° or less. It resulted in the formation of the micro-capillary bridges between the receding droplet and the surface structures. Then, the rupture of the capillary bridge led to the formation of micrometer-sized droplets on top of the surface structures. The size of the microdroplets was found to increase with increasing the impacting velocity and viscosity of the Newtonian liquid droplets. However, the size of the isolated microdroplets decreased with enhancing the elasticity of the droplets, and the size of the non-Newtonian microdroplets was not affected by the impacting velocity.

Water repellent elastomeric surfaces were fabricated successfully on SBS/MWNT nanocomposites films using the breath figure method and subsequent thermal treatment. The uniformly dispersed CNTs were found to play significant roles in tuning the size and ordering of the macroporous morphology at the nanocomposite surface as well as enhancing the mechanical properties of nanocomposites. In particular, the CNTs dispersed in a nanocomposite solution retarded the coarsening process of aqueous droplets during the breath figure process and decreased the pore size in the finally fabricated film. The water contact angle measurement showed that the double-scale structure comprised of self-organized macropores and surface the roughness induced by a thermal treatment produced a highly water-repellent nanocomposite surface.

Lubricant-impregnated nanoporous surfaces (LIS), which is created by impregnating water-immiscible oil into nanoporous surface structure, have been explored considering wide range of application fields. Due to the lubricant impregnated in nanoporous structure, the surface shows extreme de-wetting with a high mobility of water droplets, so that various functionalities can be realized. The lubricant layer inhibits the contact of corrosive media to porous structure as well as metal substrate, thus the surface improves the corrosion resistance. The water on the surface freeze without any contact to solid porous structure, showing a low ice adhesion for de-icing an anti-icing. The extremely high mobility of water droplets on lubricant-impregnated porous surfaces also contributes the enhancement of condensation heat transfer as well as water harvesting from fog and moisture. Moreover, the bacteria adhesion on metal surface forming biofilms causing serious hygiene issues can be inhibited on the lubricantimpregnated surfaces. Despite of such superior functionalities, the lubricant-impregnated porous surface has a limitation of lubricant depletion by external flow of fluids. Therefore, extensive efforts to improve the durability of lubricant-impregnated surface are required for practical applications.

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is one of the leading advanced energy conversion technology for the use in transport. It generates water droplets through the catalytic processes and dispenses the water through the gas-flowed microchannels. The droplets in the dispensing microchannel experience g-forces from different directions during the operation in transport. Therefore, this paper reviews the computational modelling topics of droplet dynamics behaviour specifically for three categories, i.e. (i) the droplet sliding down a surface, (ii) the droplet moving in a gas-flowed microchannel, and (iii) the droplet jumping upon coalescence on superhydrophobic surface; in particular for the parameters like hydrophobicity surfaces, droplet sizes, numerical methods, channel sizes, wall conditions, popular references and boundary conditions.
