A numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of airfoil on the optimum flap height using NACA 00XX and 44XX airfoils. The six flaps which have 0.5% chord height difference were selected. A Navier-Stokes code, FLUENT, was used to calculate the flow field of the airfoil. The code was first tested as a benchmark by modelling flow around a NACA 4412 airfoil. Predictions of local pressure coefficients are found to be in good agreement with the result of the experimental result. For every NACA 00XX and 44XX airfoil, flap heights ranging from 0.0% to 2.5% chord were changed by 0.5% chord interval and their effects were also studied. Representative results from each case are presented graphically and discussed. It is concluded that this initial approach gives an idea for the future development of the wind turbine optimum design.

The objective of this study is to provide the quantitative and qualitative computational data about the aerodynamic performance of Gurney flap on NACA 00XX airfoils and to show the optimum Gurney flap height for each airfoil. The test was performed on 7 different airfoils from NACA 0006 to NACA0024, which have a 3% chord(=c) thickness interval. For every NACA 00XX airfoil, Gurney flap heights were changed by 0.5% or 0.25% chord interval from 0 to 2.0%c to study their effects. The aerodynamic characteristics of clean and Gurney flap airfoil were compared, and the influences of Gurney flap on each airfoil were compared. As a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) solver, FLUENT, based on Navier-Stokes code, was used to calculate the flow field around the airfoil. The fully-turbulent results were obtained using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ two-equation turbulence model. The test results showed that Gurney flap increased the lift coefficient much more than the drag coefficient over a certain range of the lift coefficient, so the lift-to-drag ratio, which is the important index of airfoil performance, was increased. Based on the test results, the relationship between the airfoil thickness and the optimum Gurney flap heights was suggested.

본 연구에서는 지면효과의 영향을 비행체의 형상에 따라 비교하기 위해 에어포일, 플랩을 장착한 에어포일 그리고 플라잉디스크를 EDISON_CFD를 통해 해석하고자 한다. 받음각 $0^{\circ}$, $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$에 대하여 마하수 0.18, 단위 길이 당 레이놀즈수 $3.78{\times}10^{-5}/m$의 유동조건에서 2차원 범용 소프트웨어인 KFLOW_EDISION_13의 S-A Turbulent Model을 이용하여 지면과의 높이를 형상 코드길이를 기준으로 0.25c, 0.5c, 1c, 3c로 변경하면서 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 세 형상 모두 일반적인 지면효과인 지면과 가까울수록 양력계수는 증가, 항력계수는 감소하여 양항비가 증가하는 경향을 보여주었다. 하지만 일부 예외적인 부분을 확인하여 분석을 실시하였다.

A numerical analysis has been conducted to determine the pitch thrust vectoring characteristics of a two-dimensional convergent divergent exhaust nozzle for supersonic aircraft application. The numerical analysis was done by using Fluent and verified by the experimental test results. Analysis was performed with pitch angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$ each at the ambient temperature condition. To see the effect of a ratio of pitch flap length and pitch flap height, the ratio was varied from 0.5 to 2.5. The numerical analysis shows that pitch thrust is changed greatly with pitch flap length. The big difference of the pitch thrust with pitch flap length is due to the shock interactions in the nozzle.

The characteristics of two-dimensional supersonic coanda flow was experimentally investigated. For various ratios of slot height to coanda wall's radius of curvature, surface roughnesses, and jet stagnation pressures, the characteristics of the supersonic coanda flow such as shock structures and hysteresis were observed by flow visualization. It was found that the characteristics of hysteresis of the coanda jet was related to the surface roughness of the coanda wall. The study was further extended for application of the tangentially injected coanda jet to control co-flowing highly compressible main jet direction. It was noticed that the stagnation pressure of the main jet as well as the ratio of the slot height to coanda wall's radius of curvature wall was an influencing factor in the performance of the fluidic thrust vectoring method.

항공기에 사용되는 2차 조종면은 플랩, 탭, 스포일러 등 여러 종류가 있으며 이중 spoiler는 공력제어 기능을 가지고 항공기의 조종성에 영향을 미치는 조종면으로 속도 감속이나 옆놀이 조종용으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 비행제어용 spoiler 기능과 고양항력을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 장치인 고양항력 panel에 대한 공력특성 및 비행제어 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 이러한 고양항력 panel은 재래식인 spoiler가 양력을 감소시키고 항력만 증가시키는 장치인데 반하여 양력과 항력을 동시에 증가 시킬 수 있는 새로운 장치로서 날개의 앞전 윗면에 스팬방향으로 설치하여 슬롯효과를 발생시킴으로써 최대 양력 받음각에서 앞전에서의 박리를 막아 비행기의 착륙시 양력의 급작스러운 감소로 인한 불안정성을 감소시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 직사각형 날개 및 FA-200모형의 날개위에 고양항력 panel을 설치하여 풍동실험 및 수치계산을 한 결과를 기술하였다. 실험결과 직사각형 날개의 경우 고양항력 panel의 위치는 날개의 앞전에 설치할 경우 고받음각에서 실속지연의 효과와 함께 후방실속의 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있으며, 항력의 증가로 인한 스포일러 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 양항비특성은 고양항력 panel을 날개의 앞전에설치하고, 그폭이 시위의 1/5이고, 붙임각 ${\theta}$가 $10^{\circ}$, 높이가 시위의 3/20일때 받음각 $18^{\circ}$ 이후에서 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. FA-200 모형의 경우 옆놀이 모멘트계수는 받음각이 작을 때 고양항력 panel의 슬롯간격과 붙임각이 작을수록 커지나 받음각이 커지면 붙임각이 커짐에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 키놀이 모멘트계수는 크게 변화하지 않으나 항력 특성은 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 큰 범위에서 (${\theta}$ =$10^{\circ}$) 공기력의 증가는 고양항력 panel의 시위가 날개시위의 30%이고 슬롯의 폭이 날개시위의 10%일때 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있다.
