Control of drag force on a circular cylinder using a detached splitter plate is numerically studied for laminar flow. A splitter plate with the same length as the cylinder diameter(d) is placed horizontally in the wake region. Its position is described by the gap ratio(G/d), where G represents the gap between the cylinder base point and the leading edge of the plate. The drag varies with the gap ratio; it has the minimum value at a certain gap ratio for each Reynolds number. The drag sharply increases past the optimum gap ratio; this seems to be related to the sudden change in the bubble size in the wake region. This trend is consistent with the experimental observation currently available in case of turbulent flow. It is also found that the net drag coefficient significantly depends on the variation of base suction coefficient.

소형 풍력터빈 설계 시 고려해야 할 익형의 선택, 익형의 붙임각 및 Solidity 등이 터빈의 성능에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 한 개의 익형에 대한 공력계수를 이용하여 수학적 모델링을 통하여 최적 붙임각을 예측하여 경향을 파악하였다. 받음각에 따른 익형의 공력특성을 CFD 기법으로 파악한 후 5개의 Blade를 갖는 Turbine의 성능을 익형의 붙임각에 따라 파악하여 최대 성능을 갖는 붙임각을 최종 산출하였다. 익형 선정시 받음각에 대한 양력/항력 곡선을 이동시키는 캠버 익형의 기능보다는 항력 대양력의 비(L/D) 가 최대인 익형을 선정하는 것이 더욱 중요하며, Blade수가 적을수록 Torque의 양은 증가하고 Blade가 6이상이변 효율이 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있다.

The present article investigates the influence of droplet drag models on predictions of diesel spray behaviors under ultra-high injection pressure conditions. To consider drop deformation and shock disturbance, this study introduces a new hybrid model in predicting drag coefficient from the literature findings. Numerical simulations are first conducted on transient behaviors of single droplet to compare the hybrid model with earlier conventional model. Moreover, using two different models, extensive numerical calculations are made for diesel sprays under ultra-high pressure sprays. It is found that the droplet drag models play an important role in determining the transient behaviors of sprays such as spray tip velocity and penetration lengths. Numerical results indicate that this new hybrid model yields the much better conformity with measurements especially under the ultra-high injection pressure conditions.

21세기인 지금 우리시대에 자동차는 필수적인 교통수단이다. 이런 자동차의 구동을 위해서는 연료가 필요하며, 아직까지 석유가 그 연료의 중심이다. 그러나 지구에서 나오는 석유자원은 매장량의 한계가 보이며, 치솟는 가격뿐만 아니라 세계적으로 고연비 고효율 차량을 선호하기 때문에 연료소비를 최소화하는 방법을 찾아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 차량의 후면 형상에 중점을 두어 주행 시 발생하는 공력특성 중 항력을 감소시키기 위해 EDISON 시뮬레이션 프로그램으로 자동차의 후면 형상 변화에 따른 공력특성 해석과 주행 시 가장 효율적인 최적의 후면 형상을 찾아보았다.

This paper presents the experimental results of aerodynamic drags of model cars. The effects of cooling air on total drag were introduced by using momentum theorem. Vehicle-liked Ahmed body and 1/5 model car were used to evaluate the increments of drags due to the internal flow. The results were compared with momentum theorem and other's experiments and showed good agreements. In the case of Ahmed body, drags were increased by 22% due to the internal flow and decreased linealy by reducing internal air flow rates and inlet areas. The experiments on 1/5 model car with ill-defined air flow passage showed 10% increment of drag. The results of present study showed that cooling drag could be predicted by momentum theorem within small errors.

Three dimensional, compressible, mass weighted averaging of Favre, Navier-Stokes system with k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence, is numerically discretized to compute three dimensional multiple jet interaction flow fields for a hybrid projectile containing three rocket motors in the ogive section. Numerical flow field computations have been made for angled nose jets and rockets at supersonic speed using multiblock structured grid. The jet conditions include very high jet to free stream pressure ratio and high temperature. It is shown that the strength of nozzle stagnation pressure affects the flow field near the side nozzle and the high stagnation pressure increases total amount of drag by a few percent. However, minor drag loss due to the pressure drag might be fully overcomed by an additional axial thrust. The results of present study can be applied for the design of future hybrid projectile.

In this study, the solitary wave-induced tsunami force acting on an onshore bridges in coastal area was numerically modelled by means of TWOPM-3D based on Navier-Stokes solver and VOF method which can track free surface effectively. The validity of numerical analysis was verified by comparing the experimental tsunami bore force acting on vertical wall and column structure. In particular, the characteristics of tsunami force with the changing tsunami intensity were surveyed through numerical experiments. The availability of 3-dimensional numerical analysis was reviewed through the comparison between the existing numerical results and design criteria for each drag force coefficient by applying Morison equation considering only drag force. As reasonable and high-precision estimation method of tsunami force, it was suggested to apply the estimation method taking drag and inertial force into consideration at the same time.

A parametric study has been accomplished to figure out the effects of the elliptic cylinder thickness, angle of attack, and Reynolds number on the lift and drag forces exerted on the elliptic cylinder. A two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver is developed using SIMPLER method to analyze the unsteady viscous flow over elliptic cylinder. Thickness-to-chord ratios of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 elliptic cylinders are simulated at different Reynolds numbers of 400 and 600, and angles of attack of $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, and $30^{\circ}$. Through this study, it is observed that the elliptic cylinder thickness, angle of attack, and Reynolds number affect significantly not only the time-mean values and the amplitudes of the drag and lift forces but also the frequencies of the force oscillations.
