Abstract

A load-cell-type anemovane operates based on wind vector properties. The developed load-cell-type anemovane is of a fixed type in which the wing does not rotate, unlike in the case of existing anemovanes. The load-cell-type anemovane is required to accurately derive the correlation between the load ratio and the wind direction in order to develop a qualified product. This is because the load ratio repeats every $90^{\circ}$ owing to the use of four load cells, and its value varies nonlinearly according to the wind direction. In this study, we compared analytical results with experimental results. Fluid analysis was carried out using ANSYS CFX. Furthermore, the prototype was tested using a self-manufactured wind tunnel. The wind direction was selected as the design variable. 13 selected wind direction conditions ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ with an interval of $7.5^{\circ}$ for analysis were defined. Furthermore, 10 wind direction conditions with an interval of $10^{\circ}$ for the experiment were defined. We derived the relations between the pressure ratio and the wind direction through the experiment and fluid analysis.

로드셀형 풍향풍속계는 바람의 벡터적 성질을 이용한다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 풍향풍속계는 기존과 달리 풍속계의 날개부가 회전하지 않는 고정형이다. 로드셀형 풍향풍속계를 개발하기 위해서는 측정된 4개 날개의 압력비와 풍향, 압력합과 풍속사이의 관계식을 각각 도출해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 압력비와 풍향사이의 관계식을 도출하기 위하여 각각 ANSYS CFX를 이용한 해석적 접근과 풍동실험을 이용한 실험적 접근을 적용하였다. 해석시 $0^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$까지 $7.5^{\circ}$ 간격으로 풍향조건을, 실험시 $10^{\circ}$ 간격으로 10가지 풍향조건을 설정하였다. 또한 실험 및 해석적 접근을 통해 압력비와 풍향사이의 관계식을 도출하였다.
