This paper demonstrates a computational method in predicting aerodynamic noise generated from wind turbines. Low frequency noise due to displacement of fluid and leading fluctuation, according to the blade passing motion, is modelled on monopole and dipole sources. They are predicted by Farassat 1A equation. Airfoil self noise and turbulence ingestion noise are modelled upon quadrupole sources and are predicted by semi-empirical formulas composed on the groundwork of Brooks et al. and Lowson. Aerodynamic flow in the vicinity of the blade should be obtained first, while noise source modelling need them as numerical inputs. Vortex Lattice Method(VLM) is used to compute aerodynamic conditions near blade. In the use of program X-foil [M.Drela] boundary layer characteristics are calculated to obtain airfoil self noise. Wind turbine blades are divided into spanwise unit panels, and each panel is considered as an independent source. Retarded time is considered, not only in low frequency noise but also In turbulence ingestion noise and airfoil self noise prediction. Numerical modelling is validated with measurement from NREL [AOC15/50 Turbine) and ETSU [Markham's VS45] wind turbine noise measurements.

익형에 대한 공력 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 점성 유동장에 대한 보다 정확한 정보를 설계에 반영하기 위하여 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 사용하였다. 최적설계 방법으로는 민감도 해석을 위하여 수정유용방향탐색방법(Modified Method of Feasible Directions, MMFD)을 사용하였으며 이동거리 계산을 위하여 다항식 보간법을 사용하였다. 또한 설계시간을 단축하기 위하여 MPI를 사용하여 병렬화하였다. 전체 유동장을 8개의 영역으로 분할하였으며 분할된 영역은 지정된 프로세서에 할당하여 계산을 수행하였다. 민감도 계산을 위하여 각 프로세서에 할당하여 계산을 수행하였다. 민감도 계산을 위하여 각 프로세서에 각 탐색방향을 할당하여 민감도를 병렬계산하였다. 본 연구의 수행 결과 양력은 허용한도 내의 일정한 값을 유지하는 가운데 항력이 감소된 최적화된 익형의 형상을 설계할 수 있었다.

A numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of airfoil on the optimum flap height using NACA0015 Wells turbine. The five double flaps which have 0.5% difference were selected. A Navier-Stokes code, CFX-TASCflow, was used to calculate the flow field of the Wells turbine. The basic feature of the Wells turbine is that even though the cyclic airflow produces oscillating axial forces on the airfoil blades, the tangential force on the rotor is always in the same direction. Geometry used to define the three dimension numerical grid is based upon that of an experimental test rig. This paper tries to disign the double flap of Wells turbine with the numerical analysis.

A comparative study on ground boundary conditions for the airfoil in ground effect has been carried out. The objective of the present study is to clarify effects of the ground boundary conditions so that it will be helpful to analyse results of wind tunnel tests using the fixed ground board or the image method. A low Mach number preconditioned Navier-Stokes solver using the overlap grid method has been applied. It has been turned out that results with the symmetric boundary condition are almost the same to those with the moving boundary condition. Results with the fixed ground boundary show discrepancy to those with the moving boundary condition when flow separation on the ground board takes place.

Transient aerodynamic response of an airfoil to a rapidly deploying spoiler is numerically investigated using a two-dimensional turbulent compressible Navier-Stokes flow model. The spoiler moving relative to a stationary airfoil is treated by an overset grid bounded by a 'dynamic domain-dividing line' the concept of which is developed first..in this paper. The fluid-dynamic mechanism of the adverse lift due to the rapidly deploying spoiler is analyzed. Also the effect of spoiler deploying rate on the initial behavior of the aerodynamic response is expounded, which is of interest in view of active control technology and controller design for the spoiler. The results of present computation about the stationary as well as moving spoilers are relatively in good agreement with the existing experimental data.

An implicit viscous turbulent flow solver is developed for two-dimensional geon unstructured triangular meshes. The flux terms are discretized based on a cell-centered formulation with the Roe's flux-difference splitting. The solution is advanced in time us backward-Euler time-stepping scheme.

An implicit viscous turbulent flow solver is developed for two-dimensional geometries on unstructured triangular meshes. The flux terms are discretized based on a cell-centered finite-volume formulation with the Roe's flux-difference splitting. The solution is advanced in time using an implicit backward-Euler time-stepping scheme. At each time step, the linear system of equations is approximately solved with the Gauss-Seidel relaxation scheme. The effect of turbulence effects is approximated with a standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ two-equation model which is solved separately from the mean flow equations using the same backward-Euler time integration scheme. The triangular meshes are generated using an advancing-front/layer technique. Validations are made for flows over the NACA0012 airfoil and the Douglas 3-element airfoil. Good agreements are obtained between the numerical results and the experiment.

Proposed is an aero-acoustic performance prediction method of axial fan. The fan aerodynamic performance is predicted by combining pitch-averaged quasi 3-D flow analysis with pressure loss models for blade boundary layer and wake, secondary flow, endwall boundary layer and tip leakage flows. Fan noise is assumed to be radiated as dipole distribution type, and its generation is assumed to be mainly due to the vortex street shed from blade trailing edge. The fluctuating pressure and lift on the blade surface are analyzed by incorporating the wake vortex stree shed from blade trailing edge. The fluctuating pressure and lift on the blade surface are analyzed by incorporating the wake vortex street model with thin airfoil theory. The aero-acoustic performance prediction results by the present method are in good agreement with the measured results of several axial fans. With the present prediction method, parametric studies are carried out to investigate the effects of blade chord length and spacing on the efficiency and the noise level of fan. In the case of lightly loaded fan, both efficiency improvement and noise reduction can be achieved by decreasing chord length or by increasing blade specing. However, when fan is designed at highly loaded condition, the noise reduction by increasing blade spacing penalizes the attaninable efficiency of fan.

본 연구에서는 NACA0012/14/15 천음속 에어포일 유동에서 비평형 응축이 충격파 진동에 미치는 영향을 TVD 수치해석을 통하여 연구하였다. 주류 마하수 0.81-0.90에 대해, 정체점 상대습도 및 에어포일의 기하학적 형상이 유동 특성에 미치는 영향이 구명되었다. 받음각 ${\alpha}=0^{\circ}$, 정체점 온도(288K) 및 주류 마하수가 0.87인 경우, 정체점 상대습도의 증가는 Terminating Shock의 충격파 강도를 약화시킨다. 정체점 상대습도가 30%인 경우 961Hz이던 충격파의 진동수가 60%일 때는 912Hz로 약 5% 감소한다. 정체점 상대습도가 동일한 경우는 주류 마하수가 클수록 충격파의 진동수 및 이동거리는 크게 된다. 또, 진동의 한 주기에 대해 항력계수의 변화도 구명되었다. 정체점 상대습도가 높을수록 최대 항력 계수는 작고, 항력계수의 변화폭 또한 감소한다. 한편 에어포일의 최대 두께가 두꺼울수록 초음속 영역의 크기는 증가하며 충격파의 진동수 및 이동거리도 증가한다.
