The boundary layer developing over the suction surface of a first-stage turbine blade for power generation has been investigated in this study. For three locations selected in the region where local thermal load changes dramatically, mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and one-dimensional energy spectrum are measured with a hot-wire anemometer. The results show that the suction-surface boundary layer suffers a transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent one. This transition is confirmed to be a "separated-flow transition", which usually occurs in the shear layer over a separation bubble. The local minimum thermal load on the suction surface is found at the initiation point of the transition, whereas the local maximum thermal load is observed at the location of very high near-wall turbulence intensity after the transition process. Frequency characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy before and after the transition are understood clearly from the energy spectrum data.

본 연구에서는 이중압축램프의 초음속 유동에서 발생하는 충격파 경계층 상호작용을 EDISON_CFD로 해석하기로 한다. 이중압축램프에선 역압력 구배로 인하여 경계층이 박리가 일어나게 되고 박리된 경계층이 다시 이중압축램프에 부착되어 생겨난 박리영역을 관찰할 수 있다. 박리영역의 앞뒤로 유동의 방향이 바뀌게 되면서 압축 팬(compression fan)과 재부착 팬(reattachment fan)이 충격파를 발생시키고 이중압축램프전방의 충격파와 만나서 복잡한 유동 구조를 가지게 됨을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 층류에서 난류, 박리와 재부착의 영역에서의 해석하기 위해선 해석자의 난류모델이 중요하다. $15^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}-45^{\circ}$의 두 종류의 이중압축램프를 $k-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델과 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 천이 모델로 계산을 EDISON_CFD로 수행하였다. 난류 모델의 차이를 표면마찰계수, 압력계수, 마하수로 비교하여 차이점을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 아음속 저 레이놀즈 수에서 NACA0012에 나타난 층류 박리 거품과 천이유동에 대해 연구하였다. 천이유동조건과 완전난류유동 조건에 따른 EDISON 계산 결과 값과 실험값의 공력계수를 비교하였다. 또한, EDISON 계산 결과 값과 Xfoil을 이용하여 나온 결과 값의 천이점 비교를 통해 Xfoil의 천이 모델과 EDISON 천이 모델간의 차이를 비교하였다.

RANS computational analysis was performed on the head of the launch vehicle including the hammerhead nose pairing in the supersonic regime. The two-dimensional axisymmetric analysis was performed by using laminar, fully turbulent and transition models and compared with the experimental data. It was observed that different flow phenomena occurred depending on the Reynolds number. Under the high Reynolds number condition, the boundary layer becomes turbulent, which is not separated from the surface of the launch vehicle. With the low Reynolds number condition, laminar separation bubble was produced due to the separation and reattachment of the boundary layer on the expansion-compression edge of the hammerhead type nose fairing. The three-dimensional computations with the angle of attack showed a fully detached vortical structure due to the laminar separation bubble. It is proved that the turbulent transition should be considered to predict the separation bubble with the Reynolds number.

Numerical investigation was carried out on axisymmetric over-expanded rocket nozzle to predict flow fields of transitional shock separation patterns. The unsteady, compressible N-S equations with k-$\omega$ SST for turbulence model closure were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. Computed results were in good agreement with previous experimental works. It was found that strong side-loads were generated during the transition of RSS to FSS due to the development of a vortex ring in the inviscid jet core region. Hysteresis phenomenon exhibited by the shock-separation patterns was also found during the start-up and shut-down processes.

Laminar separation bubble and transitional flow over an airfoil are investigated at a moderate range of Reynolds numbers. In this research, a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code is coupled with an empirical transition model that can predict transition onset points and the length of transition region. Without solving the boundary layer equations, approximated e-N method is directly applied to the RANS code and iteratively solved together. The computational results are compared with the experimental data for NACA0012 airfoil. Results of transition onset point and length are compared well with experimental and XFOIL prediction. In high angle of attack the present RANS results show better agreement than XFOIL results using the boundary layer equations.

In order to reduce the download around the Smart UAV(SUAV) at Transition mode, flow control using synthetic jet has been performed. Many of the complex tilt rotor flow features are captured including the leading and trailing edge separation, and the large region of separated flow beneath the wing. Based on the results of part 1 of the present work, synthetic jet is located at 0.01c, $0.95c_{flap}$ and it is operated with the non-dimensional frequency of 0.5, 5 to control the leading edge and trailing edge separation. Consequently, download is substantially reduced compared to with no control case at transition mode using leading edge jet only. The present results show that the overall flight performance and stability of the SUAV can be remarkably improved by applying the active flow control strategy based on synthetic jet.

초음속 흡입구는 설계점에서 안정적으로 작동하지만 설계점 밖에서는 엔진성능이 급격히 감소하거나 층 격파 불안정 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 초음속 흡입구의 일반적인 특성을 파악하기 위해 2단 꺾임각을 갖는 외부 압축식 2차원 흡입구를 설계하고 EDISON_열유체 시스템을 이용하여 최종적으로 설계 마하수 2.5에서 작동하는 형상을 얻었다. 그러나 설계 마하수 이하의 영역에서는 충격파-경계층, 충격파간 상호작용으로 인해 유동에서 박리가 발생하고 최종적으로 흡입구 목을 질식시켜 아임계 상태로 천이된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 유동 제어 방법 중 하나인 bleeding을 이용하여 경계층을 제거하거나 유동의 박리를 방지하여 충격파를 cowl lip 전방에 안정하게 고정시킬 수 있었으며, 결과적으로 목적하였던 마하수 2.0에서 2.5에 이르는 작동 영역에서 강건하게 운용될 수 있는 초음속 흡입구를 설계하였다.

본 연구에서는 초고속 자기부상열차의 단면도를 통하여 2-D형상을 모델링하고 이를 기반으로 항력과 유동 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 유동의 마하수가 0.3 이상임을 고려하여 압축성 모델이 사용되었고, 난류모델은 Menter's k-w SST(Shear Stress Transport)모델을 적용시켰다. 2-D 해석과 자기부상열차의 특성상 열차가 공기중에서 주행하고 있는 것으로 가정하고 공력 특성을 해석하였다.
