Sloshing behavior of liquid within containers represents one of the most fundamental fluid-structure interactions. Liquid in partially filled tanks tends to slosh when subjected to external disturbances. Sloshing is a vicious resonant fluid motion in a moving tank. To understand the effect of baffle positioned at L/3 and 2L/3 location, a shake table experiments was conducted for different fill volumes of aspect ratio 0.163, 0.325 and 0.488. For a fixed amplitude of 7.5 mm, the excitation frequencies are varied between 0.457 Hz to 1.976 Hz. Wave probes have been located at both tank ends to capture the surface elevation. The experimental parameters such as sloshing oscillation and energy dissipation are discussed here. Comparison is done for with baffles and without baffles conditions. For both conditions, the results showed that aspect ratio of 0.163 gives better surface elevation and energy dissipation than obtained for aspect ratio 0.325 and 0.488. Good agreement is observed when numerical analysis is compared with the experiments results.

We investigate the characteristics of a wideband and high-gain cavity-backed slot antenna in terms of the reflection coefficients, radiation patterns, and gain. A cavity-backed slot antenna structure includes baffles, reflectors, and thick ground planes. The measured gain and bandwidth of a 10-dB return loss in a cavity-backed $2{\times}2$ array slot antenna with $h_1=2 $mm, d=2 mm are 15.5 dBi and nearly 27%, respectively, at 42 GHz. Baffles and reflectors are used to increase antenna gain, thus reducing the coupling among the slots on the thick ground plane.

Based on the flow patterns of cylindrical vessel, the flow patterns of conical vessel, spherical vessel, rectangular vessel and cylindrical vessel with baffles were visualized by a trace method using aluminum powder. In addition, the correlations of the critical circulating frequency for mixing were derived from the experimental results. The conical and spherical vessels which have circular cross sections were same effective as cylindrical vessel for the shake mixing due to developing the rotational flow. Both a rectangular vessel and a cylindrical vessel with baffles should not be adapted for shake mixing because of not developing rotational flows in these type of vessels.

A new baffle configuration, an annular baffles, are considered in the present study as an alternative to reduce the excessive pressure drop associated with the conventional segmental ones in typical operating conditions. The heat transfer and pressure drops are numerically simulated for a single tube shell-and-tube model and compared against the conventional-baffle cases. Baffle blockage ratio and number of baffles are considered as the major variables for the present study specifying a fixed baffle spacing. It is found that the heat transfer increases 1.4~2.2 times without significant pressure loss compared to the bare tube cases and the goodness factor increases 1.35 times compared to the conventional-baffle model.

In the microfluidic devices the most important thing is mixing efficiency ol various fluids. In this study a newly designed miler is proposed to enhance the mixing effect with the purpose to apply it to microchannel mixing in a short future. This design is composed of a channel with cross baffles periodically arranged on the both bottom and top surfaces ol the channel. To obtain the yow patterns, the numerical computation was performed by using a commercial code, ANSYS CFX 10.0. To evaluate the mixing performance, we computed Lyapunov exponent and obtained Poincare sections. it was shown that our design provides the excellent mixing effect.

Sloshing of fuel in a liquid propellant tank is an important part of the dynamic and the stability analysis of the rocket. Baffles are installed in a propellant tank to reduce the instability due to sloshing. Multi degree of spring-mass-damper model was used to model sloshing of fuel in an axisymmetric tank. The natural frequencies and damping ratios are estimated. In order to verify the estimated natural frequencies and damping ratios, tests are performed for the real propellant tank of KSR-III with single ring baffle. Results of fuel sloshing analysis are compared with those of tests.

The effect of the joint condition of automotive muffler shell and baffle on radiated noise from muffler shell Is studied. Shell vibration characteristics, especially shift In natural frequency and change in of response amplitude, was identified from finite element analysis and modal tests for various joint conditions between shell and baffle. When there is heat expansion and inner pressure from the exhaust 9as in the muffler with elliptical cross section, the shell expands out, and construct gap with baffles. This gap causes more degrees of freedom of shell vibration and natural frequency shift. By welding the muffler shell to the baffles or using a dual shell muffler, the radiated noise problem could be mitigated supplying more a rigid joint and damping, respectively.

From the results of tracer test for the existing clearwell in Y water treatment plant, $T_{10}$ and T10/T were calculated as 150 min and 0.24, respectively. Therefore it required the modification schemes for improving hydraulic efficiency, surrogated by $T_{10}$ and $T_{10}$/T, and disinfection performance. In this study, using transient CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation technique, tracer tests on dynamic condition for the suggested schemes were simulated. From the results of simulation, it was revealed that 8~6 baffles are necessary to guarantee the disinfection ability in the existing clearwell. Also, installing orifice baffle in the vicinity of inlet could increase plug flow fraction within clearwell.

Gas wiping of continuously hot-dip galvanized coating on steel strip has generated edge overcoating and noise problems. The overcoating of zinc in the edge zone from edge to 50mm inside of the strip along its width was measured and analyzed. The overcoating is thought to occur due to the reduced impinging pressure of wiping gas onto the strip edges by the boundary effect and it can decrease by 50% or more by applying edge baffles when the baffle-to-strip distance is maintained to 20mm or less. The overcoating was compared with edgedrop of the cold-rolled steel substrate. Edge buildup mostly at the edge area 10 to be 20mm from the edge results in if the edgedrop is not sufficient enough to compensate for the overcoating to be flat on the edgedrop or/and if the overcoating is not small enough to the given edgedrop. Edge baffles can reduce effectively this type of edge buildup.
