Smart UAV, which adopting tiltrotor aircraft concept, requires vertical take-off and landing, long endurance and high speed capability. These contradictable flight performances are hard to meet unless the operation of flap system which should reveal optimal performance for each flight mode. In order to design SUAV flaperon satisfying the three performance requirements, various configurations are generated and their aerodynamic performances are analyzed using numerical flow computations around flap systems. Considering aerodynamic performance and structural simplicity, a final flap configuration is selected and the performance is validated through the wind tunnel testing for 40% scale model.

This paper presents the results of 3rd wind tunnel test for the wings of WIG R/C test models, 'Hanjin-1' & 'Hanjin-2'. We made 'Hanjin-1' in last May 1995 and had a success in test flight. And in order to grasp the aerodynamic characteristics of wings in ground effect, the measurements of lift and drag were carried out for the various kinds of wing. It was shown that lift and lift-drag ratio increase with decrease of the clearance, but the feature was considerably depended on the shape of wing section. In this case we select the three kind of wing. section, and then compare their characteristics especially for a stability in longitudinal motion. They are NACA6409 for 'Hanjin-1' and the two kinds of DHMTU for ekranoplans of Russia. Experimental results show that the pitching moments of DHMTU wing sections are smaller than NACA6409.

RANS 방정식의 수치해법을 사용해서 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러 주위 점성유동을 계산함으로써 포드형 전동 추진기의 추진 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 수치해석 방법을 검증하기 위하여 최근 국내에서 모형 실험이 수행된 포드 프로펠러 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하고, 계산으로부터 얻어진 tractor와 pusher 방식의 포드 프로펠러에 대한 단독 성능을 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 포드에 작용하는 압력 및 프로펠러 날개 주위의 유동을 분석함으로써, 포드가 프로펠러의 추진 성능에 미치는 영향과 tractor와 pusher 추진 방식의 특성을 살펴보았다.

Operational Modal Analysis also known as Ambient Modal Analysis has an increasing interest in mechanical cngineering. Especially on big structures where the excitation and not less important the determination of the forces is most often a problem. In a structure like a wind turbine wing where the modes occur both close in frequency and bi-directional the Ambient excitation has big advantages. (omitted)

Depressurization occurs around underwater objects moving at high speeds. This causes cavitation nuclei to expand, resulting in cavitation. Cavitation is accompanied by an increase in noise and vibration at the site, particularly in the case of thrusters, and this has a detrimental ef ect on propulsion performance. Therefore, predicting cavitation is necessary. In this study, an analytical method for cavitation noise is developed and applied to an elliptic wing. First, computational fluid dynamics are performed to obtain information about the flow fields around the wing. Then, through the cavitation nuclei density function, number of cavitation nuclei is calculated using the initial radius of the nuclei and nuclei are randomly placed in the upstream with large pressure drop around the wing tip. Bubble dynamics are then applied to each nucleus using a Lagrangian approach for noise analysis and to determine cavitation behavior. Cavitation noise is identified as having the characteristics of broadband noise. Verification of analytical method is performed by comparing experimental results derived from the large cavitation tunnel at the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering.

In the present paper, a flap was optimized to maximize the lift. A 2-element fowler flap system was utilized for optimization with an initial shape of general aviation airfoil and a flap shape designed by Wentz. Response surface method and Hicks-Henne shape function were implemented for optimization. 2-D Navier-Stokes method was used to solve flow field around aGA(W)-1 airfoil with a fowler flap. Commercial programs including Visual-Doc, Gambit/Tgridand Fluent were used. Upper surface shape and the flap gap were optimized and lift for landing condition was improved considerably. The original and optimized flaps were tested in the KARI's 1-m low speed wind tunnel to examine changes in aerodynamic characteristics. For optimized flap tests, the similar trend to prediction could be seen but stall angle of attack was lower than what was expected. Also, less gap than optimized design delayed stall and produced better lift characteristics. This is believed to be the effect of turbulence model.

최고진공도 10-10 mbar, 배기속도 2500 L/s를 구현할 대용량 복합 분자펌프(TMP) 설계를 위한 3차원 유동해석을 실시하였다. 진공도가 10-5 mbar 이상이 되는 고진공도에서는 Knudsen 수가 102~107에 이르러 분자간 충돌을 거의 무시할 수 있게 되며, 이때의 유체해석 방법으로서는 통상 희박기체 해석법으로 많이 쓰이는 Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) 방법이나 Continuum fluid에 대한 Navier-Stokes 해석보다, 충돌이 없는 분자의 자유운동을 모사하는 Monte Carlo 방법이 더 적합할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 rotor와 stator로 구성되는 복합분자 내 유동장에 Monte Carlo 해석법을 적용하여 유동해석을 실시하였다. 해석 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해 동일한 형상에 대해 Navier-Stokes 해석과 DSMC 해석을 병행하였다. 각각의 수치적 해석에서 공통적으로, TMP의 성능에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 설계변수는 rotor-stator의 날개각임이 확인되었고, 이 설계변수들의 최적값을 다양한 3차원 유동해석을 통해 도출하였다. 해석결과는 펌프설계에 적용되어 펌프 성능시험결과를 통해 확증된다.

In this paper, we suggest a design concept of defining the propeller geometry by stacking up the blade sections aligned with propeller surface streamlines. Numerical and experimental propeller open water(P.O.W.) characteristics of a newly designed propeller are presented. The surface streamlines for a propeller are obtained by using the panel method. Redefinition of the blade sections aligned with the streamlines is provided together with 8-spline modeling, by which we manufacture model propellers. We carried out the P.O.W, tests in a towing tank in order to show the effect of the present method on P.O.W. characteristics.

Ice accretion may occur when the sold surface passes through the clouds containing supercooled water droplets. In the case of aircraft, it can result in serious performance degradation and safety hazard. In this study, numerical analysis code has been developed to predict the rime ice shapes on a 2-D airfoil and the computation results are validated against experimental data of NASA and other computation results of well-known ice prediction code, LEWICE. In addition, the effects of various numerical parameters on the ice shape have been systematically investigated.

Nowadays in Republic of Korea, there is no distinct reference for the related design technology of rotor blade of wind turbine. Therefore the optimum design and evaluation of performance is carried out with foreign commercial code softwares. This paper shows in-house code software that evaluates the aerodynamic design of wind turbine rotor blade using blade element-momentum theory (BEMT) and processes that is applied through various aerodynamics theories such as momentum theory, blade element theory, prandtl's tip loss theory and strip theory. This paper presents the results of the numerical analysis such as distribution of aerodynamic properties and performance curves using in-house code POSEIDON.
