There are many things in common between hemodynamics in arterial systems and multibody dynamics in mechanical systems. Hemodynamics is concerned with the forces generated by the heart and the resulting motion of blood through the multi-branched vascular system. The conventional hemodynamics model has been intended to show the general behavior of the body arterial system with the frequency domain based linear model. The need for detailed models to analyze the local part like coronary arterial tree and cerebral arterial tree has been required recently. Non-linear analysis techniques are well-developed in multibody dynamics. In this paper, the studies of hemodynamics are summarized from the view of multibody dynamics. Computational algorithms of arterial tree analysis is derived, and proved by experiments on animals. The flow and pressure of each branch are calculated from the measured flow data at the ascending aorta. The simulated results of the carotid artery and the iliac artery show in good accordance with the measured results.

A rheology casting technology has some advantages compared with conventional forming processes such as die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forming. The liquid segregation is important on mechanical properties of materials using rheology casting. In this study, so, molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the control of liquid segregation. Because the dynamics of fluid flow about nano-scaled materials is completely different from continuum, molecular dynamics simulations were used. The behavior of particles was far from the truth according to boundary conditions in simple flow. But various movement of particles appear at two or more molecular simulations.

본 연구는 테일러 반응기내 각속도와 유입속도 변화에 따른 테일러 유동의 변화와 입자의 체류시간 변화를 전산수치해석 기법을 이용하여 알아보았다. 반응기내 유동은 각속도가 증가함에 따라 점점 불안정해지는 경향을 보였다. 유동은 레이놀즈 수의 증가에 따라 CCF, TVF, WVF, MWVF 영역으로 이동하게 되고 각 영역에서 상이한 유동특성을 보였다. 유입속도의 변화가 테일러 유동에 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 각속도가 빠를수록, 그리고 유입속도가 느릴수록 입자의 체류시간과 표준편차는 증가하였다.

본 연구에서는 대면적을 지니는 CDI 모듈의 흐름 향상을 위하여 유체가 들어가는 유입구로부터 면적이 증가하는 직사각형 형태의 유로를 설계하였다. 이를 바탕으로 설계된 모듈 형태에 대해 공급수의 흐름성과 사영역의 유무를 파악하였고 CFD 전산 유체 역학 프로그램을 통해 유로 내의 내부 압력, 유선 그리고 속도 벡터 분포를 분석하였으며 실제 흐름 관측과 CFD 프로그램을 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과 모든 유속 10, 20, 30 mL/min에서 유로 내 사영역이 거의 발생하지 않았으며 공급수의 흐름성도 일정하게 유지되어 추후 대면적을 가지는 CDI 공정에 적용이 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

Numerical modelling of an integrated Carbon NanoTube (CNT) membrane is only achievable if probable deformations and realistic alterations from a perfect CNT membrane are taken into account. Considering the possible forms of CNTs, bending is one of the most probable deformations in these high aspect ratio nanostructures. Hence, investigation of effect associated with bent CNTs are of great interest. In the present study, molecular dynamics simulation is utilized to investigate fluid flow dynamics in deformed CNT membranes, specifically when the tube cross section is not affected. Bending in armchair (5,5) CNT was simulated using Tersoff potential, prior to flow rate investigation. Also, to study effect of inclined entry of the CNT to the membrane wall, argon flow through generated inclined CNT membranes is examined. The results show significant variation in both cases, which can be interpreted as counter-intuitive, since the cross section of the CNT was not deformed in either case. The distribution of fluid-fluid and fluid-wall interaction potential is investigated to explain the anomalous behavior of the flow rate versus bending angle.

Using a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulation tool, we have provided a coating guideline for slot-die coating with a double layer slot die head. We have analyzed the fluid dynamics in terms of the coating speed, flow rate ratio, and viscosity ratio, which are critical for the stability of coating meniscus. We have identified the common coating defects such as break-up, air entrainment, and leakage by varying the coating speeds. The flow rate ratio is the critical parameter determining the wet film thickness of the top and bottom layers. It is shown that when the flow rate ratio exceeds or equals 1.8, air entrainment occurs due to insufficient hydraulic pressure in the bottom layer, even though the total flow rate remains constant. Furthermore, we have found that the flow of the bottom layer is significantly affected by the viscosity of top layer. The viscosity ratio of 4 or higher obstructs the flow of the bottom layer due to the increased hydraulic resistance, resulting in leakage. Finally, we have demonstrated that as the viscosity ratio increases from 0.1 to 10, the maximum coating speed rises from 0.4 mm/s to 1.6 mm/s, and the minimum wet film thickness decreases from 800 ㎛ to 200 ㎛.

This study was undertaken to verify the effect of flow coefficient when a globe control valve was attached by different type of fitting. The valve flow coefficient is usually determined by measuring the flow rate and the pressure drop with the connection of straight pipe through the valve. The effect of different fitting that is mounted on the downstream of the valve is studied. Four types of fittings and three distances between the valve and a downstream fitting are compared parametrically to investigate the effect on the flow coefficient of it. Measured flow coefficient and numerically predicted value by using computational fluid dynamics were compared in detail. It is concluded that the flow coefficient is reduced if the fitting is attached after a valve, but the effect of different type of fitting is not crucial.

Unsteady fluid dynamics analysis of flow characteristics inside a Metal DPF system is done using a commercial CAE software, CFD-ACE+. The time profiles of both temperature and pressure of exhaust gas are given as initial conditions. It was found that the position of connecting pipes and the numbering of exhaust gases did not affect the flow uniformity. The presence of a DPF resulted in the significant flow nonuniformity effect on the flow characteristics at the inlet of the DPF. Present results can be applied to the selection of optimal geometry that produces uniform flow characteristics inside a DPF system.

Numerical investigations have been conducted on the assessment of the performance of drug-eluting stent. Computational fluid dynamics is applied to investigate the flow disturbances and drug distributions released from the stent in the immediate vicinity of the given idealized stent in the protrusion into the flow domain. Our simulations have revealed the drug concentration in the flow field due to the presence of a drug-eluting stent within an arterial segment. Wall shear stress increases with Reynolds number for a given stent diameter, while it increases with stent diameter for a given Reynolds number. The drug concentration is dependent on both Reynolds number and stent geometry. In pulsatile flow, the minimum drug concentration in the zone of inter-wire spacing occurs at the maximum acceleration of the inlet flow while the maximum drug concentration gains at the maximum deceleration of the inlet flow. These results provide an understanding of the flow physics in the vicinity of drug-eluting stents and suggest strategies for optimal performance of drug-eluting stent to minimize flow disturbance.

Both flow visualizations and computational fluid dynamics were performed to determine hemodynamics in a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) model for surgically correcting congenital heart defects. From magnetic resonance images, an anatomically correct glass model was fabricated to visualize steady flow. The total flow rates were 4, 6 and 8L/min and flow rates from SVC and IVC were 40:60. The flow split ratio between LPA and RPA was varied by 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50. A pressure-based finite-volume software was used to solve steady flow dynamics in TCPC models. Results showed that superior vena cava(SVC) and inferior vena cava(IVC) flow merged directly to the intra-atrial conduit, creating two large vortices. Significant swirl motions were observed in the intra-atrial conduit and pulmonary arteries. Flow collision or swirling flow resulted in energy loss in TCPC models. In addition, a large intra-atrial channel or a sharp bend in TCPC geometries could influence on energy losses. Energy conservation was efficient when flow rates in pulmonary branches were balanced. In order to increase energy efficiency in Fontan operations, it is necessary to remove a flow collision in the intra-atrial channel and a sharp bend in the pulmonary bifurcation.
