Accurate prediction of a supersonic missile base drag continues to defy even well-rounded CFD codes. In an effort to address the accuracy and predictability of the base drags, the influence of grid system and competitive turbulence models on the base drag is analyzed. Characteristics of some turbulence models is reviewed through incompressible turbulent flow over a flat plate, and performance for the base drag prediction of several turbulence models such as Baldwin-Loman(B-L), Spalart-Allmaras(S-A), k-$\varepsilon$, k-$\omega$ model is assessed. When compressibility correction is injected into the S-A model, prediction accuracy of the base drag is enhanced. The NSWC wind tunnel test data are utilized for comparison of CFD and semi-empirical codes on the accuracy of base drag predictability: they are about equal, but CFD tends to perform better. It is also found that, as angle of attack of a missile with control fins increases, even the best CFD analysis tool we have lacks the accuracy needed for the base drag prediction.

Characteristics of some turbulence models is reviewed through incompressible turbulent flow over a flat plate, and performance for the base drag prediction of several turbulence models such as Baldwin-Lomax(B-L), Spalart-Allmaras(S-A), $\kappa-\epsilon$, $\kappa-\omega$ model is assessed. When compressibility correction is injected into the S-A model, prediction accuracy of the base drag is enhanced. The NSWC wind tunnel test data are utilized for comparison of CFD and semi-empirical codes on the accuracy of base drag predictability: they are about equal, but CFD tends to perform better. It is also found that, as angle of attack of a missile with control (ins increases, even the best CFD analysis tool we have lacks the accuracy needed for the base drag prediction.

This paper presents the procedure of drag prediction for EAV-1, based on a numerical analysis correlated to an in-flight test. EAV-1, developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, is a small-sized UAV to test a hydrogen-fuel cell power system. The long-endurance test flight of 4.5 hours provides numerous in-flight data. The thrust and drag of EAV-1 during the flight test are estimated based on the wind-tunnel test results for EAV-1's propeller performance. In addition, the CFD analysis using a commercial Navier-Stokes code is carried out for the full-scale EAV-1. The computational result suggests that the initial CFD analysis substantially under-predicts the in-flight drag in that the discrepancy is up to 27.6%. Therefore, additional investigation for more accurate drag prediction is performed; the effect of propeller slipstream is included in the CFD analysis through "fan disk" modelling. Also, the additional drag from airplane trim and load factor that actually exists during the flight test in a circular path is considered. These supplemental analyses for drag prediction turn out to be effective since the drag discrepancy reduces to 2.3%.

Drag prediction is sought for the aifoil having laminar and turbulent flow characteristics with CFD code being unable to predict transition to turbulent flow. Laminar flow simulation presents some insight to the transition position. Separate simulations with laminar and turbulent flow and their combination estimate the drag of the airfoil containing laminar and turbulent flow characteristics.

무베어링 로터 허브시스템 개발에서 할당된 공기역학적 허브 항력 요구도를 분석하여, 요구도에서 제시된 방법으로 입증 가능하도록 요구도를 구체화 시켰다. 초기 허브 형상에 대해 공력계수에 기반하여 항력 예측을 수행하였으며, 요구도 충족을 위한 설계 변경안을 제시하였다. 최종 형상에 대해 전산유체기법을 사용하여 항력 예측을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 구체화된 요구도를 만족시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기 개발된 헬리콥터의 추세선으로부터 유추할 수 있는 허브 항력의 범위 내에 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

The objective of this study is to predict the drag of an axisymmetric underwater vehicle with bluff afterbody using CFD. FLUENT, commercial CFD code, is used to simulate high Reynolds number turbulent flows around the vehicle. The computed drag coefficients are compared to available experimental data at various Reynolds numbers. Four widely used two-equation turbulence models are investigated to evaluate their performance of predicting the anisotropic turbulence in a recirculating flow region, which is caused by flow separation arising from the base of the vehicle. The simulations with Realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ and ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST turbulence models predict the anisotropic turbulent flows comparatively well and the drag prediction results with those models show good agreements with the experimental data.

본 연구에서는 비정렬 중첩 혼합 격자계를 사용하는 전산유체기법으로 무베어링 로터허브의 공기역학적 항력을 계산하였다. 동체와 로터 허브 모두 점성 항력보다는 압력 항력이 주요 요소로 작용하고 있으며, 토크 튜브의 항력이 허브 항력에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 허브 항력은 동체 항력 대비 39~41%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 최종적으로 개발된 헬리콥터의 항력 추세와의 비교를 통해, 설계된 무베어링 로터 허브의 항력은 요구도를 충족시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

At present, wind tunnel test or CFD is used for predicting aerodynamic drag coefficient in motor company. But, wind tunnel test requires much cost and time, and CFD has about 30% error. In this study a predicting program of the aerodynamic drag coefficient based on empirical techniques was developed. Also a mathematical optimization method using GRG method was added to the program. The program was applied to six cars. Aerodynamic drag coefficient values of six cars were Predicted with 4.857% average error. The optimization method was also applied to six cars. Three parameters selected from sensitivity analysis were determined to reduce the afterbody drag coefficient to the value established by a designer and when some parameters were changed for a developing automotive, optimal modifiable parameters were determined to preserve the same drag coefficient as the original automotive. It was verified that this program could predict the aerodynamic drag coefficient effectively and accurately, and this program with GRG method could determine optimal values of parameters.

During the aircraft conceptual design stage, rapid aerodynamic analyses over various configurations are required. Hence, empirical and analytical methods play important roles in predicting the aero-dynamic characteristics. In this study, total drag estimation method based on empirical and analytical approaches is developed. By comparing with the results of the wind tunnel experiment and existing prediction methods, it is demonstrated that the developed method is accurate and useful in predicting total drag for the whole Mach number range.
