The streamlined box is a common type of girders for long-span suspension bridges. Spanning deep canyons, long-span bridges are frequently attacked by strong winds with large angles of attack. In this situation, the flow field around the streamlined box changes significantly, leading to reduction of the flutter performance. The wind fairings have different effects on the flutter performance. Therefore, this study examines the flutter performance of box girders with different wind fairings at large angles of attack. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were carried out to extract the flutter derivatives, and the critical flutter state of a long-span bridge was determined. Further comparisons of the wind fairings were investigated by a rapid method which is related to the input energy by the aerodynamic force. The results show that a reasonable type of wind fairings could improve the flutter performance of long-span bridges at large angles of attack. For the torsional flutter instability, the wind fairings weaken the adverse effect of the vortex attaching to the girder, and a sharper one could achieve a better result. According to the input energies on the girder with different wind fairings, the symmetrical wind fairings are more beneficial to the flutter performance

This paper investigated the wind-snow flow around the bogie region of a high-speed train under crosswinds using a coupled numerical method of the unsteady Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model and discrete phase model (DPM). The flow features around the bogie region were discussed and the influence of bogie fairing height on the snow accumulation on the bogie was also analyzed. Here the high-speed train was running at a speed of 200 km/h in a natural environment with the crosswind speed of 15 m/s. The mesh resolution and methodology for CFD analysis were validated against wind tunnel experiments. The results show that large negative pressure occurs locally on the bottom of wheels, electric motors, gear covers, while the positive pressure occurs locally on those windward surfaces. The airflow travels through the complex bogie and flows towards the rear bogie plate, causing a backflow in the upper space of the bogie region. The snow particles mainly accumulate on the wheels, electric motors, windward sides of gear covers, side fairings and back plate of the bogie. Longer side fairings increase the snow accumulation on the bogie, especially on the back plate, side fairings and brake clamps. However, the fairing height shows little impact on snow accumulation on the upper region of the bogie. Compared to short side fairings, a full length side fairing model contributes to more than two times of snow accumulation on the brake clamps, and more than 20% on the whole bogie.

In this paper, the fairing effects on the aerodynamics stability of basic plate-girder sections are investigated trough wind tunnel tests. As basis sections, two types of $\pi$-type shape sections with aspect ratios(D/B) of 1/5 and 1/10 are employed as the basic sections. And three types of triangular fairings are applied such as right-angled triangle(F1), inverted right-angled triangle(F2) and regular triangle(F3). The effects of attack angle on the dynamic response of each section are also investigated. As the results of experiments, fairings F2 is most effective to suppress flutter phenomenon or vortex induced vibration among three types of fairings.

Polyurethane casting wing fairings included in F-5E/F 15% spar kit are to be installed on aircraft wing surfaces and used for compensating the changes of the aerodynamic configuration by the leading edge extension fairings. These fairing are mandatory items in repairing wing areas and was imported from foreign supplier with long term delivery and high cost. Accordingly, local manufacturing is necessary to get rid of above disadvantages such as long term delivery and high cost. Basic properties test of specimen to be developed and part's requirements after localization was taken and its values were similar or higher when comparing with the original's even in low temp test at -55C. Casting mold process was used to manufacture the polyurethane fairings and its demensional stability ＆ physical condition was proper and met to the related specification and drawing's requirements

유도무기의 케이블 페어링은 공력하중 및 기계적 하중으로부터 전선 케이블을 보호하기 위하여 설치된다. 케이블 페어링을 설계하기 위해서는 유도무기 본체와 케이블 페어링 사이의 응력 분포가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 케이블 페어링의 접착 응력 및 접착 강도 해석 기법을 고찰하여 프로그램화 하였다. 또한, 고온용 접착재에 대한 인장 시험과 3점 굽힘 시험을 통하여 강도를 계측하였고 이를 케이블 페어링의 설계에 적용하였다.

본 논문에서는 항공기의 항력 감소를 위해 페어링 형상을 설계하고 설계 형상에 대한 공력해석을 수행하였다. 페어링은 날개 끝과 날개-동체 접합부에 대해 적용되었다. 날개끝 페어링의 경우 날개 전체에 대한 유동 해석을 수행하였고 날개-동체 페어링에 대해서는 전기체에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. Menter의 ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델이 적용된 3차원 RANS 코드를 이용하였으며 유동 해석을 실시하였다. 페어링의 형상과 유무에 따른 해석 결과를 비교하여 각각의 페어링 날개와 항공기의 항력에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다.

Open-cross-section composite beam (OCB) tends to suffer vortex-induced vibration (VIV) due to its bluff aerodynamic shape. A cable-stayed bridge equipped with typical OCB is taken as an example in this paper to conduct sectional model wind tunnel test. Vortex-induced vibration is observed and maximum vibration amplitudes are obtained. CFD approach is employed to calculate the flow field around original cross sections in service stage and construction stage, as well as sections added with three different countermeasures: splitters, slabs and wind fairings. Results show that flow separate on the upstream edge and cause vortex shedding on original section. Splitters can only smooth the flow field on the upper surface, while slabs cannot smooth flow field on the upper or lower surface too much. Thus, splitters or slabs cannot serve as valid aerodynamic means. Wind tunnel test results show that VIV can only be mitigated when wind fairings are mounted, by which the flow field above and below the bridge deck are accelerated simultaneously.

Productivity enhancement program of wind tunnel testing has begun at Korea Aerospace Research Institute Low Speed Wind Tunnel (KARI LSWT). A previous test record of a canard airplane model was adopted to examine the current status of wind tunnel testing efficiency. The time consumed to perform testing activities from the model preparation to data collection was broken down and the results were compared with those of the recent Boeing low speed test result. The efforts to improve the wind tunnel productivity consisted of the installation of mini crane underneath of test section, fabricating lift device for image fairings, model configuration changing rigs and the modifications of external balance system. Time reductions for changing strut interface platform and installation of image fairings. These effects showed more than 70% improvement over the previous test time. Integration of the new and modified systems will improve productivity of wind tunnel testing in KARI LSWT.

KSR-III의 탑재부를 보호하고 있는 nose fairing은 목표 고도에 도달하면 화약 폭발에 의한 분리 장치의 작용으로 탑재부가 주어진 임무를 수행할 수 있도록 로켓으로부터 떨어져 나가도록 설계되어 있다. 이때 분리된 fairing이 로켓에 부딪치지 않고 안전하게 분리될 수 있게 하기 위해서는 적절한 크기의 분리력이 가해져야 하며, 이러한 분리력의 결정에 있어서 공기의 영향이 거의 없는 고도도 조건을 가정하였다. 그러나 KSR-III의 설계가 진행됨에 따라 발사체의 임무에 수정이 가해졌으며, fairing의 분리도 고도고가 아닌 공력의 영향이 상당 부분 남아 있는 고도 45km에서 이루어질 것으로 예상됨으로써 이러한 새로운 조건에서도 충분히 안전한 분리를 이룰 수 있는 지의 여부에 대한 확인이 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 병렬형 부스터 분리 운동 해석을 위해 개발되었던 6자유도 운동방정식 해석 프로그램인 PASEM을 fairing 힌지를 모사할 수 있도록 수정을 가하여 fairing의 분리 운동을 예측하였다. 먼저 지상 시험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 힌지 운동 모사의 정확도를 검증하고 정확한 분리 조건을 설정하였다. 다음으로 고도 45km에서 받음각, 중력 작용 방향, 돌풍의 존재 여부 등을 바꾸어 가며 안전한 분리가 가능함을 판단하였으며, 힌지 이탈각을 60도에서 45도로 줄여줌으로써 훨씬 더 안전한 분리가 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 발사 당일의 기상 조건의 변화에 따라 분리 고도가 40km로 낮추어져도 안전한 분리한 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 통신해양기상위성의 TM 안테나[2.290 GHz]에 의해 발생된 RF가 발사체 PROTON M/Breeze M long 패어링 안에서 형성되는 전기장의 세기를 예측한다. 위성이 TM을 내보내기 위해 의도적으로 방사하는 전기장의 세기는 PROTON M / BREEZE M 패어링의 특성을 고려함으로써 예측될수 있다. 다른 정지궤도 발사체는 PROTON의 패어링과 유사한 특성을 갖기 때문에, 예측된 결과가 다른 발사체에도 적용될 것이라 예상된다. 해석결과로써, 패어링내의 전기장의 세기는 위성 본체와는 전자파 적합성 요구사항을 만족하나, 발사체 PROTON M/Breeze M과는 전자파 적합성 요구사항을 만족하지 못한다.
