For a wireless communication system, the angle-of-arrival (AOA) of the signal has a variety of applications. The signal AOA is estimated utilizing various antenna array structure such as Uniform Linear Array (ULA), Uniform Rectangular Array (URA), and Uniform Circular Array (UCA). In this paper, we introduce a cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the UCA, which is consisted of CAPON and Beamspace MUSIC. CAPON is employed to estimate approximate AOA groups including multiple AOA signals and Beamspace MUSIC is employed to estimate detailed signal AOAs in the estimated AOA groups. In addition, we provide the computer simulation results for verifying and analyzing the performance of the cascade AOA estimator based on UCA.

In a double-passage cascade apparatus, only two blades are installed in order to increase the accuracy of experimental result by applying bigger blade than the size of multi-blades on the same apparatus. However, this causes difficulties to make correct periodic condition. In this study, sidewalls are designed to meet periodic condition without removing the operating fluid or adjusting tail boards. Surface Mach number on the blade surface is applied to a responsible variable, and 12 design variables which are related with sidewall profile control are selected. A gradient based optimization is adopted for wall design and CFX-11 is used for the internal flow computation. The computed result shows that it could obtain the same flow structure by modifying only the sidewalls of the double-passage cascade apparatus.

선형 캐스케이드 실험장치에서 블레이드간에 주기조건을 만족하면서 적은 개수의 블레이드를 적용하는 것은 실험의 정확도 향상뿐만 아니라 실험수행에 여러 장점을 제공한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유로를 캐스케이드 피치의 두 배 넓이로 설정하고 두 개의 블레이드만을 설치하였을 때 주기조건이 얻어지도록 하는 벽면의 형상설계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 주기조건에서 얻어진 블레이드 표면에서의 마하수와 동일한 결과가 얻어지도록 목적함수를 설정하였으며, 설계변수로는 벽면의 형상과 관련이 있는 12개의 변수를 선정하였다. 벽면의 설계를 위하여 기울기 기반의 최적화법을 사용하였으며, 목적함수에 민감한 변화를 나타내는 영역의 조정과 가중치를 사용하였다. 이러한 방식으로 얻어진 결과에서 주기조건과 동일한 유동특성이 얻어질 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The three-dimensional flow in a turbine nozzle guide vane passage causes large secondary loss through the passage and increased heat transfer on the blade surface. In order to reduce or control these secondary flows, a linear cascade with a contoured endwall configuration was used and changes in the three-dimensional flow field were analyzed and discussed. Measurements of secondary flow velocity and total pressure loss within the passage have been performed by means of five-hole probes. The investigation was carried out at fixed exit Reynolds number of $4.0{\times}10^5$. The objective of this study is to document the development of the three-dimensional flow in a turbine nozzle guide vane cascade with modified endwall. The results show that the development of passage vortex and cross flow in the cascade composed of one flat and one contoured endwalls are affected by the flow acceleration which occurs in contoured endwall side. The overall loss is reduced near the flat endwall rather than contoured endwall.

캐스케이드 실험장치에 한 개의 익형을 설치하여 캐스케이드 실험이 가능한 장치벽면의 설계를 수행하였다. 장치의 폭은 피치의 160% 넓이이다. 이 경우에 실험장치 내에 다수개의 블레이드를 설치하는 경우에 비하여 소형의 장치라도 실험의 정확성이 향상되는 장점이 있지만, 피치방향으로 주기조건을 맞추기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 주기조건이 얻어지도록 벽면의 형상설계를 내부유동장의 결과를 바탕으로 기울기기반과 유전자알고리즘의 방식을 사용하여 벽면을 설계하였다. 이를 위하여 목적함수는 캐스케이드 익형의 표면에서 얻어진 마하수를 적용하였으며, 실험장치의 형상 조정이 가능한 14개의 설계변수를 적용하였다. 유전자알고리즘에 의한 최적화 설계방식이 향상된 결과를 보여주었다.

This paper studies the radio frequency to direct current (RF-DC) conversion efficiency of rectennas applicable to wireless power transfer systems, where multiple receive antennas are arranged in serial, parallel or cascaded form. To begin with, a 2.45 GHz dual-diode rectifier is designed and its equivalent linear model is applied to analyze its output voltage and current. Then, using Advanced Design System (ADS), it is shown that the rectifying efficiency is as large as 66.2% in case the input power is 15.4 dBm. On the other hand, to boost the DC output, three composite rectennas are designed by inter-connecting two dual-diode rectifiers in serial, parallel and cascade forms; and their output voltage and current are investigated using their respective equivalent linear models. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that all composite rectennas have almost the same RF-DC conversion efficiency as the dual-diode rectifier, yet the output of voltage or current can be significantly increased; in particular, the cascade rectenna obtains the highest rectifying efficiency.

Heat (mass) transfer characteristics have been investigated on the endwall of a large-scale linear turbine cascade passage under a combustor-level high free-stream turbulence with a large length scale. Local heat (mass) transfer coefficients are measured by using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The result shows that local heat (mass) transfer on the endwall is greatly enhanced in the central region of the turbine passage, but there is no noticeable change in the local heat (mass) transfer in the region suffering severe heat load. Under the high free-stream turbulence, the local heat (mass) transfer coefficient shows more uniform distribution and its average value across the whole endwall region is increased by 26% of that at low turbulence condition. The heat (mass) transfer data on the endwall strongly supports that well-organized vortices near the endwall tends to suffer an suppression by the high free-stream turbulence.

In a speed_controlled system with cascade control which shows an optimal performance in the linear case, limit cycles can occur due to backlash. The various effects observed can be explained with the aid of the describing function. With a first-order load torque observer these limit cycles can be avoided. Moreover the dynamic performance improves considerably and the range of application of cascade control is extended.

The performance of gas turbine engines is affected by instabilities, like as rotating stall and/or surge. Rotating Stall is a transient intermediate stage between normal flow and complete flow breakdown leading to engine surge. Rotating Stall is associated with large amplitude nonaxisymmetric flow variations rotating around the compressor annulus. This paper presents the evolutions of stall propagation in a compressor cascade by numerical analysis. The flow phenomena due to stall cells and propagation speed are examined using 2 dimensional Navier - Stokes equations.

This paper focuses on a horizontal waypoint tracking and a speed control of large diameter unmanned underwater vehicles (LDUUVs) with X-stern configuration plane. The concerned design problem is converted into an asymptotic stabilization of the error dynamics with respect to the desired yaw angle and surge speed. It is proved that the error dynamics under the proposed control scheme based on the linear control and the feedback linearization can be considered as a cascade system; the cascade system is asymptotically stable if its nominal systems are so. This stability connection enables to separately deal with the waypoint tracking problem and the speed control one. By using the sector nonlinearity, the nominal system with nonlinearities is modeled as a polytopic linear parameter varying (LPV) system with parametric uncertainties. Then, sufficient linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions for its asymptotic stabilizability are derived in the sense of Lyapunov stability criterion. An example is given to show the validity of the proposed methodology.
