The effects of strake incidence-angle on the vortex characteristics and the wing-surface pressure distribution for a double-delta wing with strake were investigated experimentally. The strake incidence-angle of negative sign(strake is pitched down from the main-wing upper-surface) increased the suction pressure of the wing-upper surface, which was the same effect of increase of angle of attack. This change of the suction pressure was caused by the closer movement of the vortex cores to the wing upper surface rather than the increase of the vortex strength.

The effects of strake planform shapes on the vortex formation, interaction, and breakdown characteristics of double-delta wings were investigated through pressure measurements of upper wing surface and off-surface flow visualization. Three different shapes of strakes were attached to a delta wing respectively to form double-delta wing configurations and tested in a medium-sized subsonic wind tunnel. The results of the pressure measurements indicated that the strake planform having a higher sweep angle generated more concentrated vortex systems at upstream locations, which, however, tended to diffuse and break down much faster at the downstream locations. It was also found from the off-surface visualization results that the cause for the vortex concentration was due to the acceleration of coiling and merging processes between the wing and strake vortices.

Flow computations around forward sweep wing small aircraft have been conducted in this study. The main-wing of the forward-wing small aircraft is composed of two planforms: the inboard wing section with backward sweep angle which is known as strake and the outboard wing section with forward sweep angle. The geometrical discontinuity or kink generated by the combination of these two different planforms requires detailed flow analysis around wing. Four different solvers were used to calculate aerodynamic data and the accuracy of each method is examined. For the convenience of grid generation over the aircraft geometry, the overset grid method was applied. Through this calculation, the basic aerodynamic data of the forward-wing aircraft were provided and the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing is expounded.

This research represents comparison and validation of static aerodynamic results in different wind tunnel organizations and EFD-CFD results. KAFA conducted wind tunnel tests with Standard Dynamics Model(SDM) which is based on the NRC model, the same configuration of KARI; and then compared and analyzed similarities and differences of the data from KARI and NRC results for verifying the accuracy of wind tunnel tests. Also, We compared the result of CFD with that of wind tunnel tests and examined strakes effect in static characteristics which are attached on the forward fuselage of SDM for investigating the cause of some discrepancies. From this analysis, there are some discrepancies in Cm tendency between EFD-CFD and it did not show the big difference of aerodynamic characteristics by strake effects. Thus, we need to research additionally for analyzing the different cause of some discrepancies such as vortex structures by the rear strut or intake of SDM and regenerating grid resolution of CFD.

Recycling technology of aluminum foil scraps into aluminum flake powder by ball milling in dry or wet conditions was studied. Aluminum foil were laminated each other, elongated through microforging by the falling balls, fragmented into small foils and then changed into flake powder during ball milling. It is also possible to recycle foil scraps with thickness less than $60\mu\textrm{m}$ into aluminum paste by wet ball milling. As initial foil thickness decreases, foil is easily milled to flake powder by wet milling in mineral spirits. the appearance and the opaque character of glass painted with aluminum paste obtained by wet milling of foils are similar to those of aluminum paste made by ball milling of gas atomized powder.

The present paper describes the two off-surface visualization techniques and their application examples to vortex flows. One of the two visualization techniques is the classical smoke-wire technique, and the other is the visualization technique using the micro water-droplets generated by the home-style ultrasonic humidifier. The smoke-wire technique has the limit of air flow speed (about 5 m/sec for 0.07 mm-diameter wire) and the pollution problem, but it produces very fine and clear streak line sheet. It is applied to visualize the wing-tip vortices of a 3-dimensional wing. The micro water-droplet technique has the larger limit of air flow speed (above 10 m/sec) and is free from pollution and toxic problems compared to the smoke-wire technique. It is successfully applied to visualize the complex vortex system of a double-delta wing with an apex strake.

This study was conducted to investigate a proper method of ball mark repair by comparing the creeping bentgrass recovery speed on golf course green treated by various methods of ball mark repair. Nine general repairing methods were tested and compared; control (no repair, A type), two common methods of USGA (B type) and GCSAA (C type), three methods with fork shaped hand set performing at Korean golf courses (Ansung Benest, D; Sky72, E; Lakeside, F type), and three methods using the repair machine with 6, 8, or 14 teeth (G, H, I type, respectively). Three creeping bentgrass cultivar of 'Penncross', 'T-1', and 'CY-2' were tested in this field experiment. This test was carried out from September to November in 2009 at the nursery on the Seoul Lakeside Golf course. The average speed of turfgrass recovery after various ball mark repairing methods have been ranked as in the order of E, D, C, B, F, I, H, G, and A. The methods of hand practise showed more effective results than repair method using machines. The ball mark recovery speeds of 'Penncross' were in the order of E, D, B, C, F, I, H, and A. In the case of 'T1' and 'CY-2', similar orders were showed as D, E, B, F, C, H, I, A, G and the order of D, E, C, F, B, H, G, I, A, respectively. The ball mark recovery speed among creeping bentgrass cultivar resulted in the order of 'CY-2', 'Penncross', and 'T-1'. The most proper method of ball mark repair was repair method using a hand set tool especially the method of the Sky72 Golf course (E type). At the first, remove a damaged grass area with fork and tap. And then gather the side grasses into the center area with pulling the grasses with fork. After that, make harden and flat on the turf surface by pounding and rolling with the round wooden stick. The final Nstep, water the repaired grass surface. This ball mark repairing practise showed a most rapid and proper recovery method on creeping bentgrass green.
