Control of mixing and transport processes are the key areas that can be benefited by understanding the hydrodynamics in gas-liquid two-phase flows. In particular, the enhanced bubble-induced liquid-phase mixing is known to be a function of void fraction distribution, gas phase velocity and so on. To further our insight on the characteristics of the liquid-phase mixing induced by the bubbles, in the present study, we experimentally investigate the mixing performance of a rectangular bubble column while changing the void fraction from 0.006 to 0.075%. A shadowgraphy technique is used to measure the gas-phase properties such as void fraction and size/velocity of bubbles. On the other hand, we use dye visualization with low diffusive buoyant dye to directly measure the level of mixing. Finally, we confirm that the time taken for full mixing scales with the inverse of volume void fraction.

Electrical breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) used as both coolant and insulator for high $T_c$ superconductor system are very important. This paper presents dynamic breakdown characteristics fo $LN_2$ by quench phenomena of thermal bubble under high electric field. Experimental results revealed dynamic breakdown voltage fell down drastically compared with the static breakdown voltage without the quench. Because of increasing heat power, bubble size becomes big and breakdown voltage decreases. The breakdown voltage mechanism of $LN_2$ depends on thermal bubble effect. In the Electrode arrangement, electrical breakdown voltage of horizontal arrangement appears lower than that of vertical arrangement. Also, we observed the behavior of thermal bubbles in $LN_2$ which were generated after quench using camera.

Experimental schemes that enable characterization of phase-change phenomena in the microscale regime are essential for understanding the phase-change kinetics. Particularly, monitoring rapid vaporization on a submicron length scale is an important yet challenging task in a variety of laser-processing application, including steam laser cleaning and liquid-assisted material ablation. This paper introduces a novel technique based on Michelson interferometry for probing the liquid-vaporization process on a solid surface heated by a KrF excimer laser pulse(λ=248nm, FWHM=24ns) in water. The effective thickness of a microbubble layer has been measured with nanosecond time resolution. The maximum bubble size and growth rate are estimated to be of the order of 0.1㎛ and 1m/s, respectively. The results show that the acoustic enhancement in the laser induced vaporization process is caused by bubble expansion in the initial growth stage, not by bubble collapse. This work demonstrates that the interference method is effective for detecting bubble nucleation and microscale vaporization kinetics.

Techniques such as dissolved air flotation and electroflotation, which utilize micro bubbles, are increasingly used for water and wastewater treatment. Most studies have concentrated on particle characteristics. Pretreatments that manipulate particle size and zeta potential were considered important. A recent study, which modeled the collision mechanism between micro bubbles and particles in dissolved air flotation, suggested bubble characteristics should also be important. Hydrogen micro bubbles were generated electrolytically and their zeta potentials measured under various conditions using a novel electrophoresis method. Effects of several parameters were investigated. Bubble zeta potentials were found to be pH dependent, and to have a negative value around neutral pH, becoming zero or positive at lower pH. The pH at zero zeta potential was 5.0 under study conditions. Using artificial solution and tap water, at fixed pH, bubble zeta potentials varied with solution composition. Zeta potentia]s of bubbles were affected by the types of cations and anions in solution but not by the voltage applied. These findings will help improve efficiencies of particle removal processes that utilize micro bubbles. As bubble zeta potential varies with solution composition, it needs to be measured for each composition to understand those effects, which increase removal efficiency.

This study investigates filed application in Daebul Free Trade Zone of a flowing method using drying shrinkage-reducing superplasticizer(SRS) and an insulating curing method using double bubble sheets. Test showed that fresh concrete satisfied target slump and air content. A structure adding SRS significantly decreased the total bleeding capacity and accelerated the setting time. As for the crack occurrence, the structure applying the flowing method and double bubble sheets simultaneously exhibited the most favorable crack endurance, while conventional concrete showed more than 1mm size of crack in overall, and a structure applying only the flowing method partially presented micro crack. For the area proportion of crack occurrence, the structure using the double bubble sheets indicated 9.8%, while others applying flowing method was 28%, compared with 100% of conventional one. Standard curing specimens had about $3{\sim}6%$ higher compressive strength than that of specimens cured at adjacent field construction. In addition, using SRS improved about $5{\sim}7MPa$, than that of conventional concrete at 91 days elapse.

In this study, an image processing method for the measurement of two-phase bubbly flow is developed. Shadowgraphy images obtained by high-speed camera are used for analysis. Some bubbles are generated as single unit and others are overlapped or clustered. Single bubbles can be easily analyzed using parameters such as bubble shape, centroid, and area. But overlapped bubbles are difficult to transform clustered bubbles into segmented bubbles. Several approaches were proposed for the bubble segmentation such as Hough transform, connection point method and watershed. These methods are not enough for bubble segmentation. In order to obtain the size distribution of bubbles, we present a method of splitting overlapping bubbles using watershed and approximating them to ellipse. There is only 5% error difference between manual and automatic analysis. Furthermore, the error can be reduced down to 1.2% when a correction factor is used. The ellipse fitting algorithm developed in this study can be used to measure bubble parameters accurately by reflecting the shape of the bubbles.

Water aeration is an effective water treatment process, which involves the injection of air or air-water mixture into water treatment reservoir commonly through pipes. The main purpose of water aeration is to maintain healthy levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), which is the most important water quality factor. The pipes' operating conditions are important for controlling the efficiency and effectiveness of aeration process. Many studies have been conducted on two-phase flows in pipes, however, there are a few studies to deal with small s ale in millimeter. The main objective of this study is to perform 2-dimensional two-phase simulations inside various straight pipes using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) OpenFOAM (Open source Field Operation And Manipulation) tools to examine the influence of flow patterns on bubble size, which is closely related to DO concentration in a water body. The both flow regimes, laminar and turbulence, have been considered in this study. For turbulence, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) has been applied. The coalescence and breakage of bubbles caused by random collisions and turbulent eddies, respectively, are considered in this research. Sauter mean bubble diameter and water velocity are compared against experimental data. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements.

최근 강우는 짧은 시간에 많은 비가 오는 특성을 자주 나타낸다. 이런 기상현상 때문에, 초기유출수와 합류식하수관거 월류수의 유입유량과 농도도 변화되고 있다. 이와 같이 유입조건이 변동되는 경우에는, 높은 수면적부하율을 가지는 부상방법이 공공수역의 수질관리에 적합하다. 왜냐하면 부상법은 공공수계의 요구조건을 충족 할 수 있기 때문이다. 현재까지 이러한 부상법의 검증과 진단을 위하여, 공급공기량과 유입SS량의 비율을 반영하여 왔다. 그러나 불행하게도 이러한 방식은 기술진단과 검증을 위한 판단기준으로는 그 한계를 가진다. 왜냐하면 부상속도와 시간요소가 상이한 버블분포에 의해 달라지기 때문이다. 부상속도와 시간은 처리시설의 용량에 영향을 준다. 왜냐하면 시간인자가 시설의 규모를 결정하기 때문이다. 그러므로, 동일한 공급공기량과 유입SS농도간 비율조건에서의 버블분포특성과 부상시간특성을 운영 및 기술진단 및 평가를 위한 판단기준으로 적용하여야만 한다. 따라서 이러한 필요에 따라, 이 논문 내용은 버블분포와 부상시간간 관계의 분석에 대한 실증적 일반화에 관한 연구이다.
