For the prediction on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown, computational studies on the Oblique Shock wave/Vortex Interaction (OSVI) are conducted and compared with both experimental results and analytic mode1. A Shock-stable numerical scheme, the Roe scheme with Mach number-based function (RoeM), and a two-equation eddy viscosity-transport approach arc used for three-dimensional turbulent flow computations. The computational configuration is identical to available experiment, and we attempt to ascertain the effect of parameters such as a vortex strength, streamwise velocity deficit, and shock strength at a freestream Mach number of 2.49. Numerical simulations using the k-w SST turbulence model and suitably modeled vortex profiles are able to accurately reproduce many fine features through a direct comparison with experimental observations. The present computational approach to determine the criterion on the onset of oblique shock wave-induced vortex breakdown is found to be in good agreement with both the experimental result and the analytic prediction.

The effects of sideslip on the vortex over a delta wing was investigated experimentallu at a free strean velocity of 40 m/sec, corresponding to a Reynolds number of 1.76$\times$$10^6$, based on the root chord. The angles of attack ranged from $16{^{\circ}}$ to $28{^{\circ}}$, and the sideslip angles treated were $0{^{\circ}}$, $-10{^{\circ}}$, and $-20{^{\circ}}$. It was observed that the sideslip decreased the strengths of the vortices of both windward and leeward sides of the wing, and promoted the vortex breakdown on the windward side. At sideslip angle of $-10{^{\circ}}$, the vortex strength of leeward side was increased as the angle of attack increased. This asymmetric development and breakdown of vortices in sideslip condition would cause an abrubt change of the rolling moment at a high angle of of attack, which could be considered as a rolling moment instability.

An off-surface flow visualization experiments have been performed to investigate the flow field over a delta wing with the leading edge extension(LEX). The model is a flat wing with $65^{\circ}$ sweepback angle. The free stream velocity is 6.2 m/s, which corresponds to Reynolds number of $4.4\times10^5$ based on the wing root chord. The angle of attack and sideslip angle range from $16^{\circ}\sim28^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}\sim-15^{\circ}$, respectively. The visualization technique of using the micro water-droplet and the laser beam sheet enabled to observe the vortical flow structures, which can not be obtained by 5-hole probe measurements. With sideslip angle, the interaction and breakdown of the LEX and wing vortices was promoted in the windward side, whereas, it was suppressed in the leeward side.

An experimental study of the vortical flow characteristics around a yawed delta wing with the leading edge extension at high incidence angle is undertaken by upper surface pressure measurements. A special emphasis has been put on analyzing the basic physics of vortical flows, concerning the effects of incidence and sideslip angle on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, especially under high angle of attack. The experimental data has been dearly demonstrated the beneficial effect of the LEX vortex on the wing vortex. It leads to an essential stabilization of the wing vortex against its breakdown until at much higher incidence angle under small sideslip. An interesting flow feature is occurrence of the rolling moment reversal at a certain range of angle of attack and sideslip angle.

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.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우로 도시홍수의 피해가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 특히 인구가 밀집하고 교통량이 많은 대도시의 경우 동일한 호우에 대하여 녹지나 농경지 등에 비해 그 피해가 더 심각하다. 일반적으로 홍수 피해의 직접원인은 외수로 인한 피해와 내수로 인한 피해로 크게 구분할 수 있다. 외수피해는 주로 소하천 및 지천의 범람, 제방의 붕괴 등으로 발생한 것이며 내수피해는 배수로, 하수도 및 펌프장의 내수배제능력 부족이 주된 원인이다. 따라서 도시홍수를 효과적으로 방어하기 위해서는 우선적으로 내배수시설의 성능개선이 선행되어야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 내배수 시설 중 빗물펌프장은 흡수조로 우수를 유도한 후 펌프를 이용하여 하천으로 배수하고 있다. 우수를 원활히 하천으로 배수하기 위해서는 흡수조 내 흐름이 안정적으로 형성되어야 한다. 하지만 갑작스런 폭우 등으로 인하여 우수가 짧은 시간에 집중될 경우 흡수조 내에서 빠른 유속과 불규칙한 흐름이 발생하여 와류가 생성된다. 이러한 와류는 펌프 입구로 공기를 유입시켜 효율 저하의 원인이 되며, 공동현상을 발생시켜 펌프의 손상을 초래하기도 한다. 따라서 와류발생 저감장치(Anti-Vortex Device)를 설치하여 와류의 생성을 억제하고자 하는 연구들이 수행되었으며, 그 결과 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 소개되었다. 하지만 와류발생 저감장치의 명확한 설계기준이 제시되어 있지 않으며, 와류발생 저감장치를 설치하였을 때 효율이 얼마만큼 증가하는가에 대한 실험적인 자료가 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원뿔 형태의 와류발생 저감장치 설치 전 후의 흐름특성을 분석하여 원뿔형태의 와류발생 저감장치가 흐름안정에 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) 기법을 이용한 유속분포와 와도를 분석하여 흐름 안정 효과를 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 와류 발생을 저감할 수 있었으며, 정량적으로 와도가 감소하여 펌프 흡입량이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 향후 추가적으로 다양한 형태의 와류발생 저감장치에 대한 효과를 검토한다면 최적의 펌프 흡수조 설계에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

An experimental study of the vortex interaction characteristics of a delta wing/LEX configuration was conducted in a wind tunnel using the micro water droplet and laser beam sheet visualization technique. The main focus of this study was to analyze the effect of the angle of attack and sideslip angle on the vortex interaction and vortex breakdown. These tests were accomplished at angles of attack between $16^{\circ}$ and $28^{\circ}$ and sideslip angle between $0^{\circ}$ and $-15^{\circ}$ at free-stream velocity of 6.2 m/s. Flow visualization data provide a description of the vortex interaction between LEX and wing vortices, and of the vortex breakdown. The introduction of LEX vortex stabilized the vortical flow, and delayed the vortex breakdown up to higher angle of attack. The vortex interaction and breakdown was promoted on the windward side, whereas they are suppressed on the leeward side.

The vortex flow and aerodynamic load characteristics of a $65^{\circ}$ sweep delta wing with the leading edge extension in sideslip condition is investigated experimentally. The freestream velocity is 40 m/sec, which corresponds to a Reynolds number per meter of $1.76{\times}10^6$ based on the wing root chord. The angles of attack range from $12^{\circ}$ to $28^{\circ}$, and the sideslip angles treated are $0^{\circ}$ , $-10^{\circ}$, $-20^{\circ}$. The LEX vortex of the leeward side. The LEX and wing vortics coalesce to to become a concentrated strong vortex or to break down at down at downstream position. Due to the interation of the LEX and wing vortices, a high suction pressure is maintained on the windward wing surface, and a low suction pressure is formed on the leeward wing surface

Flow visualization study to qualitatively define the flow field over a stealth UCAV(Uninhabited Combat Air Vehicle) configuration in a water tunnel has been conducted to clarify the basic aerodynamic performance. The test was performed at freestream velocity of 12.7 cm/sec which was corresponding to a Reynolds number of $1.4{\times}10^4$ based on mean aerodynamic chord. The development and breakdown of vortices illuminated by using dye were compared to the previous force and moment data. It was shown that the effect of the vortices generated by the main-body and junction are dominant in the low angle-of-attack region. However, in the high angle-of-attack region, the vortex generated by the fore-body mainly influenced the aerodynamic performance of the model.

An experimental investigation was conducted on the interaction of vortices over a delta wing with the leading edge extension for three angles of attack($16^{\circ},\; 24^{\circ} \;and\; 28^{\circ}$) at Reynolds number of $1.76{\times}10^6.$ The experimental data included total pressure contours and velocity vectors using 5-hole probe measurements. Constant total pressure coefficient contours show the LEX vortex moves downward and outboard, while the wing vortex exhibited an inboard and upward migration. At near the trailing edge, these vortices reveal a direct interaction between the wing and LEX vortex, featuring a coiling of vortex cores about each other. The combined effect of the interaction of these two vortices and proximity to the wing surface results in the increase of the suction peak. This is in contrast to the result obtained on the delta wing alone configuration, where the effect of the vortex breakdown was manifested. The interaction of the wing and LEX vortices is more pronounced at higher AOA.
