This paper presents the performance characteristics of a Darrieus-type vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) with National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) airfoil blades. To estimate the optimum shape of the Darrieus-type wind turbine in accordance with various design parameters, we examine the aerodynamic characteristics and separated flow occurring in the vicinity of the blade, the interaction between the flow and blade, and the torque and power characteristics that are derived from it. We consider several parameters (chord length, rotor diameter, pitch angle, and helical angle) to determine the optimum shape design and characteristics of the interaction with the ambient flow. From our results, rotors with high solidity have a high power coefficient in the low tip-speed ratio (TSR) range. On the contrary, in the low TSR range, rotors with low solidity have a high power coefficient. When the pitch angle at which the airfoil is directed inward equals $-2^{\circ}$ and the helical angle equals $0^{\circ}$, the Darrieus-type VAWT generates maximum power.

최근 환경오염이 심각한 사회문제로 대두됨에 따라 환경오염원을 제거하기 위한 여러 가지의 집진장치가 개발되고 있는데 화력발전소에서는 건식정전집진장치(dry electrostatic precipitator)를 이용하고 있다. 건식정전집진장치는 햄머(hammer) 방식의 충격장치를 설치하여 집진극과 방전극에 충격을 가함으로써 충격력을 극대화시키고 높은 분진박리 효과를 꾀하고 있는데 환경오염원이 되고 있는 집진판의 분진의 분리율을 높이기 위해서는 집진판의 전체 영역에서 분진을 동일하게 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 충격장치가 설계되어야 하는데, 이를 위해서는 충격하중에 따른 집진판의 진동 형태를 정확하게 분석하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 집진판의 충격하중에 따른 진동의 형태를 분석하기 위해 펄스 레이저를 이용한 2중 노출 홀로그래피 시스템을 구성하였다. 홀로그래픽 간섭계는 이미 오래 전에 개발된 레이저 응용 계측기법으로서 주로 정현적인 진동을 하는 진동체의 진동 현상을 연구하는 데에 많이 사용되어 왔는데 그 기술 개발은 상당한 수준에 있다. 그러나 종래의 기술들은 주로 헬륨-네온(He-Ne)레이저와 같은 연속 레이저(continuous wave laser)를 이용한 기술들인데 최근에는 루비(ruby) 레이저와 같은 펄스 레이저 (pulse laser)를 이용한 기술이 많이 응용되고 있다. 이 펄스 레이저 홀로그래픽 간섭계를 Gottenberg는 응력파에 의해서 발생된 변형을 측정하기 위해 사용하였고 Aprahamian등은 보(beam)와 평판의 굽힘파(bending wave)의 전파 특성 연구에 이용하였다. 그 실험적 결과는 수치적 해석 결과와 비교되어 매우 좋은 일치성을 보였는데 이러한 펄스 레이져 홀로그래픽 간섭계 기법의 주요 장점은 어떠한 특정한 순간에 관찰하고자 하는 시험편의 전체 영역의 파동 전파 형상을 관찰할 수 있다는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 펄스 레이저를 응용한 2중 노출 홀로그래피법(double exposure holography method)을 이용해서 집진판에 충격하중이 가해졌을 때 발생하는 진동이 발생과 전파 특성을 충격하중의 방향에 따라서 분석하였다.

Foreign bodies in the maxillofacial area are not commonly seen. If occurred, the immediate removal of foreign bodies is recommended to avoid further complications. The most important thing is a exact localization of foreign bodies using X-rays such as plain radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound before treatment. During removal of foreign bodies, tissue should be dissected carefully and complete exploration of the whole wound required.

The objective of this study is to propose a new channel shape that improves thermal-hydraulic performance. The existing Zigzag channel has high pressure loss due to flow separation and reverse flow. To improve this disadvantage, partial straight channel is inserted into bended points. Also, the effects of straight channel's length change on heat transfer and pressure loss are analyzed. Thermal-hydraulic performance of the new shape and existing Zigzag channel are quantitatively compared in terms of Goodness Factor. Mass flow rate was changed from $1.41{\times}10^{-4}$ to $2.48{\times}10^{-4}kg/s$. The average volume goodness factor of 1mm straight channel shape was increased by 25% compared to the Zigzag channel.

An analysis of laminar mixed convection flow adjacent to the inclined flat surface which is subjected to a uniform temperature in a uniform free stream is performed. Nonsimilar boundary layed equation are derived by using the mixed convection parameters such that smooth transition from the purely forced convection limit to the purely free convection limit is possible. The governing equations are solved by a finite difference method using the coupled box scheme of sixth order. Numerical results are presented for prandtl numbers of 0.7 and 7 with the angle of inclination ranging from 0 to 90 degree from the vertical. The velocity distributions for the buoyancy assisting flow exhibit a significant overshoot above the free stream value in the region of intense mixed convection and the velocity field is found to be more sensitive to the buoyancy effect than the temperature field. The separation point near the wall was obtained for the buoyancy opposing flow. The local Nusselt number increases for buoyancy assisting flow and decreases for opposing flow with increasing value of the local Grashoff number in the mixed convection parameter. For large Prandtl number, the Nusselt number and the friction factor decrease significantly near the separation point. Present numerical predictions are in good agreement with recent experimental results by Ramachandran.

A numerical study has been performed on the flow past a two-staged orifice in a rectangular duct. The flow field including the recirculation region behind the orifice was investigated and the pressure drop was calculated. Water was used as a working fluid and the flow was treated as the turbulent flow, of which the Raynolds number was 6000. The main parameters for the pressure drop and the recirculation region were the orifice's inclined angle against the duct, the interval between two orifices, the shape of the orifice's hole having the same area, and the change of the hole position at the same interval. The variation of the flow field was investigated with each parameter. Consequently, it was found that the most dominant parameter influencing the drop of the pressure was the change of the hole position at the same interval between orifices. Especially when the interval between orifices was narrow and the relative position the holes was changed, its effect to the flow field was shown most drastically as a result of this study. The SIMPLER algorithm with FLUENT code was employed to analyze the flow field.

The effect of pintle shape on the thrust level of pintle-nozzle Solid Rocket Motor(PNSRM) was studied numerically using the Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model of Fluent. Mass flow rate of PNSRM was always less than theoretical value and the extent of decrease in mass flow rate grew in the large pintle because of increase in the relative boundary layer thickness between pintle body and nozzle wall. The bigger pintle size was, the more thrust of pintle tip pressure was obtained. Meanwhile the more thrust of nozzle and chamber pressure decreased. Hence, total thrust of big pintle was less than a small pintle under same throat area condition. Specific impulse was relatively flat for all pintle shape.

The objective of this work was to investigate the pintle-tip shape effect on nozzle flow and thrust by cold flow test. When nozzle throat area was decreased by pintle movement, chamber pressure was increased monotonously but thrust was increased differently according to every pintle-tip shape. At the same chamber pressure and nozzle throat area, thrust of convex pintle-tip shape was mostly larger than that of concave one. Nozzle wall pressure distribution and magnitude of pintle-tip load depended on the pintle-tip shape, pintle position and nozzle throat area.

Thermal barrier efficiency and endurance of coatings in liquid rocket engine combustor were evaluated for air plasma spray coating and electro/electroless plating. The result of firing tests has revealed occasional occurrence of local delamination of $ZrO_2$, NiCrAlY coating obtained by the method of air plasma spray in the region of supersonic flow and it necessitated a new coating method as a substitution. It was found that Ni-Cr coating by means of electro/electroless plating can substitute $ZrO_2$, NiCrAlY coatings of air plasma spray in terms of thermal barrier efficiency and endurance.

In this paper, we study the effect of various turbulence models by comparing the aerodynamic characteristics and the flow patterns computed for aircraft models. An in-house CFD solver, MSAPv, that solves the three dimensional RANS equations with the turbulence model equations is used. The turbulence models used in this study are the Spalart-Allmaras model, Menter's $k-{\omega}$ SST model, Coakley's $q-{\omega}$ model, and Huang and Coakley's $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. DLR-F6 WB and WBNP configurations are selected for the study. We concentrate on the separated flow pattern variations with the turbulence models at the wing-body junction and the wing-pylon junction as well as drag polar curves.
