  • From the kinematically unbiased sample of halo stars, the local mass density of halo dwarfs is estimated as $6.0{\sim}6.3{\times}10^{-4}m_{\odot}/pc^3$ by adopting a color-magnitude relation and a mass-luminosity relation. The derived halo mass density is not much different from the results of previous studies, which were derived from the kinematically biased sample of halo stars. Therefore it is confirmed that the local mass density of halo stars is far less than that required by Ostriker-Peebles to stabilize the galactic disk against barlike instabilities.

  • In many applications of functional oxides originally homogeneous materials are exposed to gradients in the chemical potential of oxygen. Prominent examples are solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) or oxygen permeation membranes (OPMs). Other thermodynamic potential gradients are gradients of electrical potential, temperature or uni-axial pressure. The applied gradients act as generalized thermodynamic forces and induce directed fluxes of the mobile components. These fluxes may lead to three basic degradation phenomena of the materials, which are kinetic demixing, kinetic decomposition, and morphological instabilities.

  • DNS is performed to examine the propagation characteristics of stagnating turbulent premixed flames. Results show good agreement with the recently proposed relationship for turbulent burning velocity, $S_T$. It is shown that $S_T$ increases through a thinner flamelet, turbulence production and correlation between fluctuating velocity and buoyancy force respectively for diffusive-thermal, hydrodynamic and Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The mean curvature doesn't have significant effect on $S_T$ at the leading edge.

  • 이연구에서는 유변학 구성방정식이 나타내는 일차원 불안정성의 몇가지 예를 보였 다. 안정성 해석을 위하여 맥스웰형 미분구성방정식 Giesekus, Leonov, Larson 모델을 선택 하였다. 나타난 불안정성은 단순전단유동에서의 정상유동곡석이 무제한적 단수증가성을 위 배할 때 발생한다. 단순전단유동에 부과된 섭동하에서 Giesekus와 Larson 모델이 일정영역 의 무델계수와 전단율속도값에서 불안정 거동은 관성력을 고려하지 않은 경우에도 발생함이 증명되었다. 끝으로 이러한 불안정 거동을 개선하는 몇가지 방법을 Leonv와 Giesekus 모델 에 대하여 제시하였다.

  • We present preliminary numerical simulations of tilted-disk accretion around a rotating black hole. Our goal is to explore whether hydrodynamic instabilities near the Bardeen-Petterson radius could be responsible for generating moderate-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in X-ray binaries. We review the relevant general relativistic hydrodynamic equations, and discuss preliminary results on the structure and dynamics of a thin, Keplerian disk.

  • We developed a non self-aligned poly-silicon TFTs fabrication process at two different temperatures on spin-coated polyimide layer above Si-wafer. After TFTs fabrication, the polyimide layer was mechanically released from the Si-wafer and the devices characteristics were compared. In addition self-heating and hot-carrier induced instabilities were analysed.

  • In the field of population dynamics and chemical reaction the possibility or the existence of spatially and temporally nonhomogeneous solutions is a very important problem. For last 50 years or so there have been many results on the pattern formation of chemical reaction systems studying reaction systems with or without diffusions to explain instabilities and nonhomogeneous states arising in biological situations. In this paper we study time-dependent properties of a predator-prey system with functional response and give sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of stable limit cycles.

  • A gas mechanical pulsator is developed for the study of combustion instabilities in various combustors such as LRE combustor. First, it shows that the mass flow rates and the perturbation frequencies can be successively controlled by the inlet pressure and the rotating speed of a rotating disk with many holes. Second, the device is used as an acoustic amplification source as a substitute for the speaker in the previous acoustic tests and its results show almost the same resonant frequency and damping characteristics compared with the previous results. In conclusion, the result shows that it can be used as a substitute for a speaker in the studies of LRE combustion instabilities, which has a flow and no limitation of amplification, and a device for making a perturbation source in gas flow.

  • Measurements of heat release are very important for controling combustion instabilities, which are closely connected with combustion instabilities. $OH^{\ast}$ images were acquired through a ICCD in this study, which were in use as indicating index of the reacting region, global and local heat release rate in the lean premixed combustion. The objectives of this study are to see the effect of equivalence ratio on global heat release rate and local Rayleigh index distribution. The local Rayleigh index distribution was acquired by information from central section of flame. This information was from the line-of-sight images which were inverted by the Abel de-convolution. In each condition, the mean value of heat release increased exponentially with equivalence for a periodic time. Local Rayleigh index distribution cleary showed the region of amplifying or damping the combustion instability as the equivalence ratio increased. This could provide an insight on the region of combustion instability and the structure of flames on the equivalence ratio.
