The influence of the tip clearance upon the cavitation inception were investigated by experiments for ducted rotors having different tip clearances The axial and tangential mean velocities around the ducted rotors were measured using an L.D.V. system to investigate the correlation between tip vertex cavitation inception and hub vortex cavitation. Observation results for tip vortex cavitation and hub vortex cavitation show good agreement in trend with the analysis results of velocity measurement. An optimum tip clearance for ducted rotor was selected to delay the tip vortex cavitation.

Performance test of the 30-ton class liquid rocket engine turbopump turbine has been conducted using high pressure cold air. Overall performance of the two kinds of turbine rotors - rotor with knife-edged L.E blades and with rounded L.E blades - has been measured for various rotational speed and turbine pressure ratio. The effect of rotational speed and turbine pressure ratio on the turbine axial force behavior also has been measured in parallel. Test results have revealed that the efficiency of knife edged L.E. turbine is a little bit higher than that of rounded L.E. turbine. The axial force of the turbine varied linearly with respect to rotational speed and its magnitude largely depended on turbine pressure ratio.

Performance test of the 75ton class turbopump turbine was performed. Using the measured turbine power characteristics in the wide-range operational conditions, variations of nozzle velocity ratio, total pressure loss, and relative flow angle to the pressure ratios and rotational speeds are quantified. Efficiency and nozzle exit pressure behavior was also investigated and compared with 30ton turbopump turbine data. A rotor blade was redesigned based on the test results and CFD analysis.

For SUAV is required to have the capacity of VTOL and fast forward flight, the SUAV development program has decided to adopt the tiltrotor mechanism which includes helicopter and turboprop mechanisms. From the engine point of view, the key engine parameters such as engine operating mechanism, engine control scheme, the dynamics characteristic of power train, engine intake/exhaust concept, and engine installation requirements should fulfill the requirements of the two different mechanisms, helicopter and turboprop. And for the maximum efficiency of the rotor, rotational speed for the two modes are 20% different, the power train shall find a way to make it so. Meeting these specific requirements for the tiltrotor mechanism, this research begins with a conventional OTS(off-the-shelf) turboshaft engine survey and minimizes engine modification to develop an economical propulsion system. The engine technical review has been performed on the basis of those requirements and capabilities.

Performance analysis of the turboshaft engines for combined rotorcraft was executed. A tip jet and a ducted fan aircraft were selected for combined rotorcraft application. Gasturb 12 software was used for turboshaft engine performance analysis. In the results, maximum required power for the tip jet engine is about 1,600 hp class and maximum required power for the ducted fan engine is about 1,000 hp class at the required aircraft mission. This is due to the additional power of the auxiliary compressor to get a bleed air mass flow rate for the tip jet operation. At the same time, fuel consumption of the tip jet aircraft is 2.8 times larger than ducted fan case. Therefore ducted fan type aircraft is more efficient than tip jet aircraft in terms of fuel economy.

In this study, 3-dimensional URANS simulation was performed to analyze the effect of the nozzle-rotor axial gap spacing of a supersonic impulse turbine on turbine performance. The computations were conducted for four different axial gap cases corresponding to about 6%, 10%, 20% and 30% of the blade height, respectively. The results show a good agreement with previous studies and the turbine efficiency decreases drastically in certain range. It is examined that the turbine performance characteristics could change depending on the influence of leading edge shock to the nozzle outlet. It is also found that the entropy rise distributions along the span differ from each other.

본 연구에서는 전자 플로터 시스템의 관한 것으로, 특히 수표면 위에서 작용하는 바람, 파도 등의 영향을 거의 받지 않으면서 물의 흐름방향에 순응하여 이동할 수 있도록 함으로써 정확한 유속 측정이 가능하도록 한 연직 다 지점 GPS 전자 플로터 시스템 및 이를 이용한 유속 측정방법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 대기나 해양, 하천 등에서 유동 유체의 유동상태를 파악하기 위하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 같은 연구에서 유체의 유동 특성을 파악하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 통한 모델링을 하는 것이 한 방법이나, 이는 실제 유체가 유동하는 환경에서 발생되는 요인들을 나타내기 위해서는 한계가 있기 때문에 실제 측정을 통한 검증만큼 실제적이진 못하였다. 본 연구의 유속 측정 장치는 GPS 수신기를 탑재한 GPS 전자플로터가 수표면에 부유하고 라인으로 연결된 수중 추진부인 가이드볼, 중량보강부재로 구성되어져 있다. 기존 연구의 GPS 전자플로터는 1구형으로 표면유속만 측정 할 수 있었고 바람, 파도와 같은 외부영향에 대한 단점이 있었다. 이를 보완하기 위해 연직 다 지점 GPS 전자 플로터를 개발하였으며 이는 수표면 위에서 가해지는 바람, 파도 등의 영향을 거의 받지 않고, 하측에서 지지해주는 가이드볼이 물의 흐름에 의해 자연스럽게 자전할 수 있도록 구성되어져 보다 원활하게 물의 흐름에 순응하여 이동하고 수심에 따라 가이드볼 개수를 조절할 수 있기 때문에 대하천에서 운용이 가능하다. 이러한 유속 측정 장치 개발은 접근의 위험성과 안정성이라는 장점을 가지고 있으며 대하천 및 중소하천에서도 다양하게 운용이 가능하다. 또한 화학유출사고와 같은 문제가 많이 발생하는 요즘 화학사고와 관련된 연구들에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

As environmental regulations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases(GHG) are strengthened, technology development such as eco-friendly ships and alternative fuels is expanding. As part of this, ship propulsion technology using energy reduction and wind propulsion technology is emerging, especially in shipping companies and shipbuilders. By securing wind propulsion technology and introducing empirical research into shipbuilding and shipping, a high value-added market using eco-friendly technology can be created. Moreover, by reducing the fuel consumption rate of operating ships, GHG can be reduced by 6-8%. Rotor Sail (RS) technology is to generate a hydrodynamic lift in the vertical direction of the cylinder when the circular cylinder rotates at a constant speed and passes through the fluid. This is called the Magnus effect, and this study attempted to propose a plan to increase propulsion efficiency through a numerical analysis study on turbulence flow characteristics around RS, a wind power assistance propulsion system installed on a ship. Therefore, C_L and C_D values according to SR and AR changes were derived as parameters that affect the aerodynamic force of the RS, and the flow characteristics around the rotor sail were compared according to EP application.

In Europe and USA, new programs called GRC(Green Rotorcraft) and SRW (Subsonic Rotary Wing program) respectively, have been currently underway for developing the next generation rotorcraft. The final goal is to develope fuel-efficient/environmental-friendly tilt-rotor civilian rotorcraft, which can partly replace short-range regional aircrafts. Also for safe operation, the new rotorcraft technology is cooperated with the new air transport management(ATM) system, called SESAR(Single European Sky ATM Research) and NextGen(Next Generation Air Transport System) in Europe and USA. In addition to achieve the final goal, the tilt-rotor aircraft, they are trying to improve the performance of conventional helicopters by adopting more efficient propulsion system, active rotor system, and reducing internal and external noise. Especially in GRC program of Europe, the environmental factors such as noise, fuel efficiency, reduction of emission gas(CO2, NOx), are focused for the new technologies.
