Optimized design was performed for a subsonic aircraft wing. The subsonic aircraft is dual turbo-prop and carrying less than 100 passengers. The cruise speed is Mach 0.6. The design was performed by two stages. The first stage is to decide the height of horizontal tail by analyzing the directional stability with Vorstab and then, the optimized wing configuration was selected with Piano, a optimizer commercially available. Fluent, a commercial CFD software was utilized to predict the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft. Drag of the aircraft was minimized with maintaining constant lift for cruise. The optimization reduced 10 counts from the initial wing configuration.

In this study, fairing configurations for an aircraft are designed and the aerodynamic analyses of the fairings are performed to find the best choice for the aircraft. Fairings considered are wing-tip fairing and wing-body fairing. Wing alone analyses are done for the wing-tip faring selection, while wing-body-tail analyses are done for the wing-body fairing selection. A 3-D RANS solver with Menter's ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence model are used for the aerodynamic analyses. The effects on the drag of the aircraft are examined by comparing the analysis results with and without the farings.

In this study, simultaneous aero-structural design was performed for HALE aircraft wing. The span and the shape of main spar were considered as design variables. To maximize aerodynamic performance and to minimize weight, multi-objective optimization was used. Nonlinear static aeroelastic analysis was performed to compute large deflection of wing. Design of experiment and response surface method were used to reduce computation cost in the design process. Also, aerodynamic performances of deformed wing and rigid wing were compared.

3차원 Euler 방정식과 adjoint법을 이용한 공력설계코드를 개발하였으며, 이를 초음속수송기의 주날개 설계에 적용하였다. 표면형상의 변화를 위해 Hicks-Henne함수를 사용하였으며, 내부격자점의 수정을 위해 타원형방정식법을 이용하였다. 나셀의 수직이동과 관련되지 않은 설계변수에 대해서는 내부격자점의 이동을 무시함으로써 계산시간을 크게 단축할 수 있었다. 양력과 날개단면두께를 일정하게 유지하면서 항력을 최소화하도록 단면형상을 최적화하였으며, 성공적인 결과를 얻음으로써 본 설계시스템의 타당성 및 효율성을 확인하였다.

This paper is concerningon the development of cross-flow fan (CFF) for vehicles. CFF is widely usedhome-appliance products. This work mainly Intends developing CFF only for an automobile. In order to do that, new design involving blade shapes is proposed with enough performance for the operation. Spacially three steeps are proceeded for blade design. injection conditions for manufacturing, and capacity test for fluid mechanics. The present methodologies are to find optimal design for the blades and conditions for the injection process. This project has continued since last two years and finally succeeded.

Human-powered aircraft has wings with a shape of high aspect ratio which results in large bending displacement. This paper aims to improve the structural limitation by changing an incidence angle of the wings. The tendency change of bending displacement at the wing tip is observed assuming that airfoil and cross-sectional shape of the wing is fixed, and amount of the total lift generated is satisfied. Quasi-steady lift, drag and the aerodynamic moment are distributed with regard to sections of the wing. Those are analyzed using a numerical nonlinear lifting-line method and 'geometrically exact beam' (GEB) program in EDISON. 'Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis' (VABS) program is used to check if the present wing is structurally solid. Furthermore, the predicted tip deflections are verified by comparing with DYMORE.

MDO framework, which provides multidisciplinary system design and optimization environment, requires integration of the analyses codes developed at various computer languages and operating systems, integration of CAD and DBMS, and development of complex GUI. Emphases must be given to the software modification and upgrades in conjunction with the analysis code addition and MDO method implementation. In this study, techniques about system integration and analysis code interface have been studied extensively, and the database design and communication methods which can handle the MDO methods like MDF and CO have been studied. Using the dedicated MDO framework developed for the air vehicle design, the multidisciplinary fighter aircraft wing design has been performed to demonstrate the efficiency and usefulness of the software. Optimum wing configuration is derived using the gradient-based optimization methods within thirty design iterations.

Axial-flow fans are used to transport fluids in relatively low-pressure flow regimes, and a variety of design variables are employed. The tip geometry of an axial fan plays a dominant role in its flow and noise performance, and two of the most prominent flow phenomena are the tip vortex and the tip leakage vortex that occur at the tip of the blade. Various studies have been conducted to control these three-dimensional flow structures, and winglet geometries have been developed in the aircraft field to suppress wingtip vortices and increase efficiency. In this study, a numerical and experimental study was conducted to analyze the effect of winglet geometry applied to an axial fan blade for an air conditioner outdoor unit. The unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation and the FfocwsWilliams and Hawkings (FW-H) equation were numerically solved based on computational fluid dynamics techniques to analyze the three-dimensional flow structure and flow noise numerically, and the validity of the numerical method was verified by comparison with experimental results. The differences in the formation of tip vortex and tip leakage vortex depending on the winglet geometry were compared through a three-dimensional flow field, and the resulting aerodynamic performance was quantitatively compared. In addition, the effect of winglet geometry on flow noise was evaluated by numerically simulating noise based on the predicted flow field. A prototype of the target fan model was built, and flow and noise experiments were conducted to evaluate the actual performance quantitatively.
