본 논문에서는 헬리콥터 로터 시스템의 진동과 소음을 저감시키기 위해 개발이 진행 중인 능동거니플랩(AGF, Active Gurney Flap)에 대해 유한요소법을 이용하여 수행된 동특성 해석결과를 소개하였다. 거니플랩은 평판의 형태로 블레이드 하부 표면에 수직인 방향으로 전개되며, 블레이드 뒷전(T/E, Trailing Edge) 부위에 장착된다. 거니플랩 조립체는 전기모터와 L-형 링키지 및 플랩 등의 부품들로 구성되어 블레이드 내부에 장착되며, 고정프레임에서의 진동 성분들을 감소시키기 위해 3~5/rev 범위로 능동적인 제어가 필요하다. 따라서 외연적 시간적분법을 통해 로터 회전에 의한 원심력과 제어입력이 적용되고 있는 상황에서 거니플랩의 동적 응답특성을 분석하였으며, 해석 결과를 통해 거니플랩의 하향변위 요구도를 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Working displacement variation by elastic deformation of active Gurney flap which was operated on high frequency was observed. Flap-wise natural frequency was lower than mode analysis result and hinge boundary condition was identified to be the cause through the simple modal test. Design modification for increasing natural frequency was conducted for minimizing the elastic deformation at maximum 35 Hz operating condition which was design requirement condition. Brass bushing was applied instead of rotating bearing for gap minimization and Gurney flap design modification was conducted to increase of the flap-wise natural frequency. Design modification effect was validated by natural frequency comparison with mode analysis result and modal test result of design modification model.

본 연구에서는 헬리콥터의 전진비행성능 향상에 필수적인 로터블레이드의 동적실속성능을 향상시키기 위한 수동제어기법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 로터블레이드의 동적실속성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 블레이드 익형에 발생하는 유동박리에 대한 제어를 통해 양력 특성과 피칭모멘트 특성을 동시에 향상시켜야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 실제구현이 용이한 고정 앞전Droop과 Gurney 플랩을 심한 동적실속영역에 대해 동시에 적용하여 기존의 동적실속 제어기법에 비해서 탁월한 양력성능 향상 및 피칭 모멘트 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The objective of the present investigation is to explore the possibility of improving the performance of a centrifugal fan at low Reynolds numbers using a simple passive means, namely Gurney flap (GF). GFs of 1/$8^{th}$ inch brass angle (3.175 mm) corresponding to 15.9% of blade exit height or 5.1% of blade spacing at the impeller tip are attached to the impeller blade tip on the pressure surface. Performance tests are carried out on the centrifugal fan with vaneless diffuser at five Reynolds numbers (viz., 0.30, 0.41, 0.55, 0.69, $0.82{\times}10^5$, i.e., at five speeds respectively at 1,100, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 rpm) without and with GF. Static pressures on the vaneless diffuser hub and shroud are also measured for each speed at four flow coefficients [${\phi}$=0.23 (below design flow coefficient), ${\phi}$=0.34 (design flow coefficient), ${\phi}$=0.45 (above design flow coefficient) and ${\phi}$=0.60 (above design flow coefficient)] with and without GF. From the performance curves it is found that the performance of the fan improves considerably with GFs at lower Reynolds numbers and improves marginally at higher Reynolds number. Similar improvements are observed for the static pressures on the diffuser hub and shroud. The effect of Reynolds number on the performance and static pressures is considerable. However the effect is reduced with GFs.

In this paper, we experimentally investigated the effects of attached cylindrical tripwires on the aerodynamic performance. The research was carried out with a simple two-dimensional (2-D) rectangular airfoil fabricated from thin flat-plate aluminium, with elliptical leading and trailing edges. Tripwires of varying widths and thicknesses, and attack angles of $-5^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$ were used to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics (e.g. lift and drag forces) of the airfoil. We found that attaching the tripwires to the lower surface of the airfoil enhanced the lift force and increased the lift-to-drag ratio for low attack angles. However, attaching the tripwires to the upper surface tended to have the opposite effects. Moreover, we found that attaching the tripwires to the trailing edge had similar effects as a Gurney flap. The aerodynamic characteristics of the flat-plate airfoil with tripwires can be used to develop passive control devices for aircraft wings in order to increase their aerodynamic performance when gliding at low attack angles.
