  • In the present paper, fowler flap was optimized to maximize the lift with response surface method. Leading edge shape and the gap between main airfoil and flap, were optimized and the aerodynamic characteristics was improved considerably. The optimized flap has more rounded leading edge and bigger gap. Before angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, lift and drag are improved and the optimized flap shows similar aerodynamic characteristics to the original flap. The flow condition for optimization was angle of attack, $10^{\circ}$, Mach number, 0.2, flap deflection, $40^{\circ}$.

  • Smart UAV, which adopting tiltrotor aircraft concept, requires long endurance and high speed capability simultaneously These two contradictable flight performances are hard to meet with single wing concept and inevitably require the operation of flap system which should reveal optimal performance for each flight mode. In order to design SUAV flaperon satisfying the performance requirement, various configurations are generated and their aerodynamic performances are analyzed using numerical flow computations around flaps. Considering aerodynamic performance and manufacturing simplicity, a final flap configuration is selected.

  • An unstructured implicit Euler solver is parallelized on a Cray T3E. Spatial discretization is accomplished by a cell-centered finite volume formulation using an upwind flux differencing. Time is advanced by the Gauss-Seidel implicit scheme. Domain decomposition is accomplished by using the k-way n-partitioning method developed by Karypis. In order to analyze the parallel performance of the solver, flows over a 2-D NACA 0012 airfoil and 3-D F-5 wing were investigated.

  • Paraglider has been used for a good air sports instrument by many people in the world though its short history. And manufacturers have improved it continuously. It has the great growth from the first model like parachute to the latest model that has the extreme speed, but we can improve it in more parts. In this paper, we will show the method which can improve its performance by using Axiomatic Approach.

  • Despite the high cost of memory and CPU time required to resolve the boundary layer, a viscous unstructured grid solver has many advantages over a structured grid solver such as the convenience in automated grid generation and vortex capturing by solution adaption. In present study, an unstructured Cartesian grid solver is developed on the basis of the existing Euler solver, NASCART-GT. Instead of cut-cell approach, immersed boundary approach is applied with ghost cell boundary condition, which can be easily applied to a moving grid solver. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model by Launder and Spalding is employed for the turbulence modeling, and a new wall function approach is devised for the unstructured Cartesian grid solver. Developed approach is validated and the efficiency of the developed boundary condition is tested in 2-D flow field around a flat plate, NACA0012 airfoil, and axisymmetric hemispheroid.

  • A two-dimensional Euler code based on flux vector splitting scheme has been developed to simulate the behavior of supersonic shock wave over the cylinder. AF+ADI scheme was used for time integration. The sliding multiblock technique was implemented to handle the relative motion of the moving cylinder and the stationary tunnel. The code is validated with a problem of subsonic flow around a Naca-0012 airfoil. The Computation results show complex phenomena of the propagation of shock waves and the reflection as expansion wave at tunnel exit.

  • The aerodynamic effects of a 3-dimensional Wing in Ground Effect (WIG) which moves above the free surface has been numerically investigated via finite difference techniques. The air flow field around a WIG is analyzed by a Marker & Cell (MAC) based method, and the interactions between WIG and the free surface are studied by the pressure distributions on the free surface. Waves are generated by the surface pressure distribution, and a Navier-Stokes solver has been employed, to include the nonlinearities in the free surface conditions. The pressure values Cp and lift/drag ratio are reviewed by changing the height/chord ratio. In the present computations a NACA0012 airfoil with a span/chord ratio of 3.0 are treated. Through computational results, it is confirmed that the free surface can be treated as a rigid wavy wall.

  • 임계마하수란 에어포일의 표면에서 음속에 도달하는 부분이 생기기 시작하는 가장 낮은 Mach number라 한다. 임계마하수는 천음속에서 자유류가 임계마하수보다 조금 커지면 항력이 급격하게 증가하게 된다. 그렇기 때문에 임계마하수가 큰 에어포일이 천음속 항공기 설계에 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 이번 연구는 학부과정에서 배운 임계마하수에 대해 정의하고, EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 에어포일에 따라서 임계마하수가 달라지는 것을 확인해 보았다. 그 결과 에어포일이 두꺼워질수록 낮은 마하수에서 Shock이 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 계산된 임계마하수 값과 이론값을 비교한 결과, 높은 정확도를 확인할 수 있었다.
