자유흐름장에 놓여 있는 회전 와류쌍을 음원으로 갖는 비정상 유동장에서 사극음원이 음장에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 이차원 음장 수치해석을 시도하였다. 비압축성 유동장에 대한 비정상 수력정보를 기반으로 오일러식에서 교란 압축성 소음항을 도출하였다. 원거리 자유 경계면은 비반사 경계조건을 이용하여 매우 안정된 해를 얻을 수 있었다. 계산된 결과들은 MAE 방법과 비교하여 정확도를 입증하였다. 본 연구를 통해 비압축성 압력교란을 원천항으로 하여 물체가 존재하지 않는 경우에도 사극음원에 의한 음장을 수치적으로 계산이 가능함을 입증하였다.

Aerodynamic noise is becoming the major source of annoyance for modern cars recently and is caused by many different noise sources in a car. Appropriate CFD technologies, therefore, have been developed to resolve the noise problems related with aerodynamics. It is necessary for designers to fully understand the relationship between vehicle aerodynamics and wind noise acoustics. In this study, we simulate the flow fields around two different shapes of side mirror models of passenger car and analyze the noise phenomena around one side mirror model that has lower drag than the other model using Fluent 6.3.

본 논문에서는 소음을 저감하고 구조적 안전도를 향상시키기 위하여 10kW급 소형 복합재 풍력터빈 블레이드를 해석, 설계하였다. 풍력터빈 블레이드 설계의 기본 사항에 맞추어 블레이드의 스팬 길이는 약 4m, 중량은 30kg 내외가 되도록 설정하였다. 풍력발전기용 블레이드는 경량화가 중요하므로 유리섬유복합재 (glass fiber reinforce pastics), 탄소섬유복합재 (carbon fiber reinforced plastics)가 사용되었다. 본 설계에서는 Carbon prepreg (WSN3KY), Carbon UD(UIN150c), E-glass 등을 사용하였다. 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 NASTRAN을 이용해 Carbon prepreg (WSN3KY), Carbon UD (UIN150c)의 탄소섬유복합재만으로 구성된 블레이드 구조해석을 수행한 결과 중량 조건 및 강도의 안전도는 충족되었으나, 높은 가격을 감안하여 E-glass와 조합하여 블레이드를 재설계할 예정이다. 이번 설계는 소형 풍력발전용 블레이드 설계이므로 좌굴은 고려하지 않았으며, 향후 필요에 따라서 좌굴 및 피로해석도 수행하여 검증할 예정이다. 그리고 블레이드가 복합재로 구성되면 감쇠력이 감소할 가능성이 있다. 탄소섬유복합재로만 구성된 블레이드 구조해석에서도 최대 40cm의 변형이 예측되었으며, 감쇠값 저하 문제도 고려하여야 될 것 같아 BEMT (Blade Element Momentum Theory) 공력모델을 이용해 구조-유체 연성 결합 해석을 수행할 계획이다.

In this paper, flow noise characteristics of the hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine is investigated. Hybrid vertical-axis wind turbines consisting of two types of vertical-axis wind turbines, Savonius and Darrieus, are devised to maximize merits of one turbine and thus minimize demerits of the other turbine. In order to predict flow noise radiating from hybrid vertical-axis wind turbines, hybrid computatioinal aero acoustic techniques are used. First, unsteady flow fields around the turbine are predicted using computational fluid dynamics method. Then, the flow noise radiations from the turbines are predicted by applying acoustic analogy to the predicted flow fields. Based on numerical results, noise characteristics of a hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine is investigated and is compared with those of Savonius and Darrieus wind turbines.

The vehicle exterior design is the main parameter of aerodynamic wind noise, but the modification of it is nearly impossible at a proto-type stage. Therefore, it is very important to verify exterior design and estimate the correct wind noise level at the early vehicle design stages. The numerical simulations of aerodynamic wind noises around A-pillar and wiper were developed for specific vehicle exterior designs, but could not be directly used for the discussions with designers because these need complex modeling and simulation process. This study proposes new approach to A-pillar and wiper wind noise estimation at design stage using response surface methodology of modeFRONTIER, of which database is composed of PowerFLOW simulation, PowerCLAY modeling, SEA-Baced (Statistical Energy Analysis-Based) interior noise simulation, and turbulent acoustic power simulation. New design parameters are defined and their contributions are analyzed. A state-of-the-art, easy and reliable CAT (Computer Aided Test) tool for A-pillar and wiper wind noise are acquired from this study, which shows high usefulness in car development.

In this paper, a free wake analysis based on the curved vortex element and CVC wake model is used to predict the aerodynamic performance and noise for HAWT. Also for prediction of RPM, a maximum value through a quadratic regression was suggested. And for a noise prediction, the broadband noise prediction method based on experimental equation was used. The curved vortex element uses a BCVE and an SIVE instead of a straight vertex element. In the CVC wake model, the vortex strengths are assumed to be constant along a span and a vortex filament. The free wake structure made by the curved vortex element and CVC was substituted for a vortex lattice, so it has an advantage for the less calculation time and a depiction of accurate wake structure. For the verification of this program, calculated results are compared with Mr. Kim's experiment model and Zond Z-40FS for performance and with WTS-4 and USWP models for noise. Good agreements are obtained between the predicted and the measured data for the performance and far-field noise spectra.

This paper presents the numerical prediction of sound generated by viscous flow past a circular cylinder. The two dimensional flow field is predicted using FEM based Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver, and the calculated unsteady fluid field values are utilized by an acoustic code that implements Ffowcs Willianms-Hawkings(FW-H) equation. The integration surface used in acoustic analysis is extended from the cylinder surface to permeable surfaces. The 2D based CFD calculations overpredict the acoustic amplitude, however, if adequate correlation length is used, the predicted acoustic amplitude agrees well with experiment. The predictions using extended integral surface in FW-H equation show results that contain the characteristics of quadrupole - volume integration - noise term, and do not vary seriously with the integral surface location.

In most industry fields concerning external flow noise problems, the hybrid computational aeroacoustic techniques based on the FW-H (Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings) equation are widely used for its numerical efficiency. However, when the surface integral form of FW-H equation is used without volume quadrupole sources, it is known to generate significant non-physical noise in a certain case. Especially, in the case of a flow in which the tip vortex cavitation is formed in the distant downstream direction such as flow driven by an underwater propeller, the accuracy in noise prediction becomes poor unless it is not properly modelled. Therefore, in this study, the nonphysical acoustic waves caused by the surface integral form of FW-H equation is reduced by adding the quadrupole correction term. First, to verify the accuracy of the in-house code of FW-H equation, the noise by an axial fan used in the outdoor unit of air conditioner was calculated and compared with the results of ANSYS Fluent. In order to verify the effects of the quadrupole correction term, the noise prediction for isentropic vortex convection is performed and it is confirmed that the error is reduced by the quadrupole correction term. Finally, the noise prediction is performed for the flow field generated by the Clark-Y hydrofoil in underwater. It is confirmed that the error caused by the cavitation passing through the integral surface can be reduced by the quadrupole correction term.

This study describes aerodynamic noise of high speed wind turbine system, which is invented as a new concept in order to reduce the torque of main shaft, for design parameters of the rotor blade. For parametric study of high speed rotor aerodynamic noise, Unsteady Vortex Lattice Method with Nonlinear Vortex Correction Method is used for analysis of wind turbine blade aerodynamic and Farassat1A and Semi-Empirical are used for low frequency noise and airfoil self noise. Parameters are chord length, twist and rotational speed for this parametric research. In the low frequency range, the change of noise is predicted the same level as each parameters varies. However, in case of broadband noise of blade, the change of rotational speed makes more variation of noise than other parameters. When the geometric angles of attack are fixed, as the rotational speed is increased by 5RPM, the noise level is increased by 4dB.
