The vortex ring state that occurs during the descending flight of a rotorcraft generates a circulating flow like a donut near the rotating surface, and it often causes a rotorcraft fall due to loss of thrust. In this paper, we have physically identified the flow field in the vortex ring state of the quadcopter, one of the types of unmanned aerial vehicles. The descending flight of the quadcopter was simulated in a 1m subsonic wind tunnel of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) and the Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) was used for the flow field measurement. The induced velocity in the hovering state is estimated by using the momentum theory and the test was carried out in the range of descent rate at which the vortex ring condition could be caused. The development and the direction of the vortex ring were confirmed by the measurement of the flow field according to not only the descent rate but also propeller separation distance. In addition, the results of the study show the vortex ring state can be predicted sufficiently by measuring the flow velocity around the quadcopter.

This paper presents are experimental investigation to figure out impact pressure and flow characteristics of a wedge type structure in free fall. The flow field has been obtained by 2-frame grey level cross correlation PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) method, the impact pressure of free fall structure by a pressure acquisition system apply to Dewetron system. The angles between a model and the free surface are adapted $15^{\circ}$, $25^{\circ}$, $35^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ respectively. Velocity field of water exit has higher better than water entry. The impact pressure under the bottom of the model has been appeared higher values at $15^{\circ}$ than $45^{\circ}$, and also at P1.

Heat generated from the electronic parts in PDP is undesirable physical properties. To attain optimal arrangement of the electronic parts in PDP, thermal flows in PDP should be analyzed. PIV measurement has been made to quantify the characteristics of the inner flows and outer flows of an actual PDP. The quantity of heat flux from PDP has been estimated using the PIV results. Measurement system consists of Ar-ion laser, CCD camera and an image grabber installed on a host computer.

임계노즐(critical nozzle)은 유동을 유로 최소단면부에서 초크시켜, 질량유량을 계측하기 위한 일종의 유체기구로, 최근 다양한 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있다. 압축성 기체역학의 관계식에 의하면, 임계노즐을 통하는 기체유동의 이론적인 질량유량은 노즐 목의 직경, 노즐 상류의 온도와 압력 그리고 기체의 비열비 등의 함수로 주어진다 그러나 실제 유동에서는 점성과 열전달 등의 초과로 인하여, 이론적 질량 유량과 실제유량의 비 즉 유출계수(discharge coefficient)의 값은 1.0으로 되지 않는다.

The present study adopted the PTV method for the velocity acquisition. The system consists of an image grabber built-in a personal computer and a laser-based sheet light projector and particle identification softwares. Velocity vectors are obtained, by PTV and they are used as velocity components for Poisson equation for pressure. Related boundary conditions and no-slip condition at solid wall and the linear velocity extrapolation on the upper side of cavity are well examined for the present study. For calculation of pressure, resolution of grid is basically $40{\times}40$ and 2-dimensional uniform mesh using MAC staggered grid is adopted. The result of experiment reveal that, newly suggested measuring method is capable of estimating pressure and velocity distribution of flow field reasonably.

This study deals with an investigation on the tip vortex generated by an elliptic wing with section shapes of NACA 0020. The flow structure on the wing surface is investigated by using tufts test as well as observing the cavitation pattern. The surface pressure on a foil surface is measured to complement the visualized flow field. Results show that a strong spanwise pressure gradient is a definite contributor on the formation of tip vorex, and the fluids from both sides contribute to the evolutionary process of tip vortex. On the other hand, a series of experiments are conducted to investigate the detailed structure of tip-vortex at various angles of attack. The tip-vortex formation and development are observed by producing a cavitation, and then by a laser sheet technique in conduction with a dye injection method. The shape of tip-vortex and the distance between a vortex core and the trailing vortex sheet are found to vary with the angle of attack. Overall features of tip flow are evaluated to complement the vortex model based on inviscid theory.
