The objective of this study is to investigate aerodynamic characteristics of a Horizontal-axis wind turbines(HAWT), using CFD method with a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 3.06. To verify the reliability of the computations, the CFD results are compared with the experimental ones of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory(NREL) Phase Ⅵ HAWT. For the comparison and examination of aerodynamic characteristics, the existent shape with a predesigned twist angle was replaced by the one with one-dimensional linear twist angle. In this study, the pressure contour and stream line around the blade were analyzed as main focus. Through this study the more efficient shape of airfoil is suggested with consideration of manufacturing cost.

The Flow characteristics of a ship's propulsion mechanism of Weis-Fogh type, in which a airfoil(NACA0010) moves reciprocally in a channel, were investigated by the PIV. Velocity vectors and velocity profiles around the operating and stationary wings were observed at opening angles of ${\alpha}=15^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$, velocity ratios of $V/U=0.5{\sim}1.5$ and Reynolds number of $Re=0.52{\times}104{\sim}1.0{\times}104$. As the results the fluid between wing and wall was inhaled in the opening stage and was jet in the closing stage. The wing in the translating stage accelerated the fluid in the channel. And the flow fields of this propulsion mechanism were unsteady and complex, but those were clarified by flow visualization using the PIV.

Genetic Algorithms (GA) have some difficulties in practical applications because of too many function evaluations. To overcome these limitations, an approximated modeling method such as Response Surface Modeling(RSM) is coupled to GAs. Original RSM method predicts linear or convex problems well but it is not good for highly nonlinear problems cause of the average effect of the least square method(LSM). So the locally approximated methods. so called as moving least squares method(MLSM) have been used to reduce the error of LSM. In this study, the efficient evolutionary GAs tightly coupled with RSM with MLSM are constructed and then a 2-dimensional inviscid airfoil shape optimization is performed to show its efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamic stall characteristics of an elliptic airfoil when subject to constant pitch motions. In this study, which was motivated by the pressing need for a greater understanding of the reduced frequency$({\kappa})$ effects on flow patterns of elliptic airfoil, the various reduced frequencies were considered. The result confirms that the reduced frequency has a profound effects on the flow patterns. The increase of ${\kappa}$ accelerate the separation bubble bursting process up to ${\kappa}=0.10$, then diminish with further increase in ${\kappa}$. Compared with static condition, the dynamic pitching airfoil delays stall angle approximate $4{\circ}{\sim}5{\circ}$ during pitch-up stroke for ${\kappa}=0.10$. Results from this qualitative analysis provided valuable insight Into the control of dynamics stall.

본 연구는 두 가지 목표를 가지고 수행하였다. 하나는 수치해석과 Design-FOIL Pro.를 이용해 블레이드 에어포일 모델개발이고, 다른 하나는 이 모델을 Folding blade에 적용하는 것이다. 일반적으로 1MW이상 대형풍력터빈용 블레이드는 강풍시에 피칭제어로 풍향에 대해서 평형상태를 유지하여 로터를 회전시키지 않는 방법으로 블레이드의 손상을 방지 하였지만, 소형풍력터빈용 블레이드는 설비비, 유지비등 경제성을 이유로 피칭제어를 채택하지 않아 블레이드의 파손 문제가 심각하다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 유지보수가 필요 없고 강풍에서도 파손이 없는 Spring pack을 이용한 로터를 직접설계(Direct-Design) 방법으로 설계하여, 그 성능을 검증 하고 변화 풍속에 맞는 폴딩각을 이용해 강풍시에도 Wind turbine이 Cut-out 없이 계속발전을 유지할 수 있도록 하는 점에 집중 연구하고자 한다.

This paper investigates the modal acoustic power by a cascade of flat-plate airfoils interacting with homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. Basic formulation for the acoustic power upstream and downstream is based on the analytical theory of Smith and its generalization due to Cheong et al. The acoustic power spectrum has been expressed as the sum of cut-on acoustic modes, whose modal power is the product of three terms: a turbulence series, an upstream or downstream power factor and an upstream or downstream acoustic response function. The effect of these terms in the modal acoustic power has been examined. For isotropic turbulence gust, the turbulent series are only reducing factor of the modal acoustic power. The power factor tends to reduce the modal acoustic power in the upstream direction, although the power factor is liable to increase the modal acoustic power in the downstream direction. The modes close to cut-off are decreasing strongly, especially in the downstream direction. Therefore the modes close to cut-off don't contribute highly to the radiated acoustic power in the downstream direction, although the modal acoustic pressure is high for these modes.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of circular damage hole on the characteristics of airfoil performance. The damage on a wing created from a hit by anti-air artillery was modeled as a circular hole. Force balance measurements and static pressure measurements on the wing surface were carried out for the cases of having damage holes of 10% chord size at quarter chord and/or half chord positions. All experiments were conducted at Reynolds number of $2.85\times10^5$ based on the chord length. The surface pressure data show big pressure alterations near the circular damage holes. This abnormal surface pressure distribution produces shear stress that could lead to the acceleration of the structural degradation of the wing around the circular damage hole. However, in spite of the existence of circular damage holes, the measured force data indicated the only a slight decrease in lift accompanied by increase in drag compared to the results of undamaged one. The influence of damage hole on the aerodynamic performance was increased as the location of damage moved to the leading edge. The effect on the control force was insignificant when the damaged size was not large.

이 연구에서는 탄성 플랩이 뒷전에 장착된 2차원 날개 단면의 공력 특성을 전산 해석하였다. EDISON_CFD는 날개 주위의 비압축성 난류 유동을 시뮬레이션 하기 위해 이용되었으며, MIDAS_IT는 전산 해석 결과로 얻어진 압력 하중 하에서 탄성 플랩의 변위를 구조해석 하기 위해 사용되었다. EDISON_CFD와 MIDAS_IT의 반복 계산 절차를 이용하여, 플랩의 변위가 수렴되면 해석을 종료하여, 날개 단면에 작용하는 공력을 분석하였다. 양항비의 추정 결과 일정 받음각 이내에서 플랩의 유리한 효과가 나타날 것으로 예상된다.

Missile am fighter aircraft have been challenged by low restoring nose-down pitching moment at high angle of attach. The consequence of weak nose-down pitching moment can be resulting in a deep stall condition. Especially, the pressure oscillation has a huge effect on noise generation, structure damage, aerodynamic performance and safety, because the flow has strong unsteadiness at high angle of attack. In this paper, the unsteady aerodynamics coefficients were analyzed at high angle of attack up to 60 degrees around two dimensional NACA0012 airfoil. The two dimensional unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equation with a LES turbulent model was calculated by OHOC (Optimized High-Order Compact) scheme. The flow conditions are Mach number of 0.3 and Reynolds number of $10^5$. The lift, drag, pressure distribution, etc. are analyzed according to the angle of attack. The results at a low angle of attack are compared with other results before a stall condition. From a certain high angle of attack, the strong vortex formed by the leading edge are flowing downstream as like Karman vortex around a circular cylinder. Unsteady velocity field, periodic vortex shedding, the unsteady pressure distribution on the airfoil surface, and the acoustic fields are analyzed. The effects of these unsteady characteristics in the aerodynamic coefficients are analyzed.
