In this study, characteristics of jet type flame holder for ramjet engine combustors are investigated Jet flame holder can be easily controlled by the injection angle change and jet momentum variation without any thermal protection devices. Due to the intensive turbulent mixing effect, jet flame holder shows better flame holding performance than mechanical flame holders such as cavity, step and v-shape flame holder.

대기가 희박한 고고도 환령이나 급격한 선회를 위해 2차분사에 의한 추력벡터제어를 사용한다. 8개의 2차분사구를 갖는 고체로켓모터를 대상으로, 2차분사의 유량을 조절하는 밸브의 개도가 추력, 측추력 및 롤 모멘트에 미치는 영향을 해석적으로 연구하였다. 정상 상태의 3차원 Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes 식의 해를 구하였으며, 난류를 위해 Spalart-Almaras 모델을 사용하였다. 수치해석의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 실험 결과와 해석결과를 비교하였다. 밸브의 개도가 증가함에 따라 추력은 감소하나 측추력은 증가한다. 반면, 롤 모멘트의 경우, 밸브와 2차분사 파이프의 상호작용에 의해 개도에 비례하지 않는다.

The wind generally includes turbulence characteristics in nature. So the yaw errors between wind turbine direction and wind direction occur due to turbulence fluctuation. The yaw errors affect the fatigue load of wind turbine system and power reduction. The components of turbulence intensity are different from those of each site where the wind turbines are installed. We studied that the fatigue load and power efficiency are improved by controlling yaw motions. In this study, we controlled the averaged yaw error time according to site conditions by turbulence intensity.

This paper deals with the application of LQ control to the power curve tracking control of wind turbine. However, two more additional tasks are required to apply the LQR theory to wind turbine control. One is the tracking problem instead of regulation, because the wind turbine is controlled as variable speed and variable pitch. The other is LQ integral control., because the rotor speed should be tightly controlled without any steady state error. Starting from the analysis of wind characteristics, design requirement of a wind turbine control system is defined. A design procedure of LQ tracking with integral control is introduced. The performance of LQ tracking system is analyzed and evaluated by numeric simulation.

Particle contamination in a cleanroom is very complex with a complicated process and several pieces of spreading equipment. Detailed information on the locations of the contamination sources and the path of the contamination is needed for economical and efficient control of the contaminant particles in such a cleanroom. An allocation method was developed to quantitatively predict the contamination generated from the pollution sources. In this paper, we propose a zoning method to accelerate the computation time for estimating the contributions. Our results showed that we can quantitatively estimate the amount of contamination generated from pollution sources.

The present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of a new passive cavity flow control technique, sub-cavity. The characteristics of cavity flow oscillation with the device are compared with those with other control techniques tested previously, including a triangular bump and blowing jet. In the computation, the three-dimensional, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations governing the supersonic cavity flow are solved based on an implicit finite volume scheme spatially and multi-stage Runge-Kutta scheme temporally. Large eddy simulation (LES) is carried out to properly predict the turbulent features of cavity flow. The present results show that the pressure oscillation near the downstream edge dominates overall time-dependent cavity pressure variations, and the amplitude of the pressure oscillation can be reduced in the presence of a sub-cavity.

Numerical study on the passive control of the oblique shock wave/turbulent boundary-layer interaction control utilizing slotted plates over a cavity has been carried out. Numerical results have been compared with the experimental observations, such as pitot/wall surface pressures and Schlieren flow visualizations, obtained for the same boundary conditions. It was found that the present numerical results shows a good agreement with experimental data. Further, the effect of different slot configurations including various number, location and angle of slots on the characteristics of the interactions are also tested, focusing on the variation of the piot pressure and the boundary-layer characteristics downstream of the interaction and the recirculating mass flux through cavity.

A computational analysis of nozzle flow is conducted to investigate effects of the flight altitude on thrust performance. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation with k-${\omega}$ SST(Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model is employed to simulate the nozzle flow in various altitude conditions, where continuum mechanics is to be valid. Thrust performance of the nozzle is exceedingly poor upto 10 km of flight altitude because of the irreversible phenomena such as shock and/or flow separation occurring inside the nozzle, whereas it is restored to the nominal value as the altitude is attained higher than 30 km.

Recently, fluidic thrust vector control has become a core technique to control multifarious air vehicles, such as supersonic aircraft and modern rockets. Fluidic thrust vector control using the shock vector concept has many advantages for achieving great vectoring performance, such as fast vectoring response, simple structure, and low weight. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics methods are used to study a three-dimensional rectangular supersonic nozzle with a slot injector. To evaluate the reliability and stability of computational methodology, the numerical results were validated with experimental data. The pressure distributions along the upper and lower nozzle walls in the symmetry plane showed an excellent match with the test results. Several numerical simulations were performed based on the shear stress transport(SST) $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model. The effect of the momentum flux ratio was investigated thoroughly, and the performance variations have been clearly illustrated.

항로추종성능은 자율운항선박(MASS)의 중요한 자율제어기능 중 하나이다. 이는 선박의 안전성을 보장하기 위해 중요하며, 자율운항선박의 설계 단계에서 사전 평가가 필수적이다. 본 연구는 자율운항선박의 항로추종성능 평가를 위한 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델과 LOS 알고리즘 연계 방안을 제안한다. 먼저, 자율운항선박의 정수 중 거리 이탈 편차를 이용한 항로 추종 성능 평가 모델 개발에 관하여 기술했다. 먼저, 항로 추종을 수행하는 선박 주변의 난류 흐름은 비압축성 뉴턴 유체의 가정하에 비정상 RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) 법을 이용하여 수치적으로 계산되었다. 중첩격자계법을 CFD 모델에 적용함으로써 거리 이탈 편차를 이용하는 LOS(Line-of-Sight) 가이던스 알고리즘에 의한 타의 회전 및 이에 따른 선체의 6 자유도 움직임을 CFD 환경에서 구현하였다. 개발된 자유 항주 선박 CFD 모델을 이용하여 항로 추종 시뮬레이션 평가 결과, 설정된 항로에서 선박의 정수 중 항로 추종 제어는 파도, 조류, 및 바람과 같은 외부 교란의 부재로 LOS 알고리즘에 의한 우현/좌현 측 변침뿐만 아니라 직진 경로의 추종도 성공적으로 수행됨을 확인하였다. 선체, 프로펠러, 타의 복잡한 상호작용을 정도 높게 해석할 수 있는 자유 항주 선박 CFD 모델과 LOS 알고리즘의 결합은 자율운항선박의 항로 추종 성능 평가를 정량적으로 평가하는 데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
