A loosely coupling method is adopted to combine a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the comprehensive structural dynamics (CSD) code, CAMRAD II, in a systematic manner to correlate the airloads, vortex trajectories, blade motions, and structural loads of the HART I rotor in descending flight condition. A three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes solver, KFLOW, using chimera overlapped grids has been used to simulate unsteady flow phenomena over helicopter rotor blades. The number of grids used in the CFD computation is about 24 million for the isolated rotor and about 37.6 million for the rotor-fuselage configuration while keeping the background grid spacing identical as 10% blade chord length. The prediction of blade airloads is compared with the experimental data. The current method predicts reasonably well the BVI phenomena of blade airloads. The vortices generated from the fuselage have an influence on airloads in the 1st and 4th quadrants of rotor disk. It appeared that presence of the pylon cylinder resulted in complex turbulent flow field behind the hub center.

Three types of 100 kW-class tidal stream turbines are proposed and their performance is studied both numerically and experimentally. Following a wind turbine design procedure, a base blade is derived and two additional blades are newly designed focusing more on efficiency and cavitation. For the three designed turbines, a CFD is performed by using FLUENT. The calculations predict that the newly designed turbines perform better than the base turbine and the tip vortex can be reduced with additional efficiency increase by adopting a tip rake. The performance of the turbines is tested in a towing tank with 700 mm models. The scale problem is carefully investigated and the measurements are compared with the CFD results. All the prediction from the CFD is supported by the model experiment with some quantitative discrepancy. The maximum efficiencies are 0.49 (CFD) and 0.45 (experiment) at TSR 5.17 for the turbine with a tip rake.

A cascade apparatus was designed with only one blade. Its passage is a 160% width of the cascade pitch. This kind of apparatus can give more accurate experimental result than those applying multi-blades even though the apparatus is small. However, this causes difficulties to make the periodic condition along the pitchwise direction. In this study, sidewalls were designed to satisfy the periodic condition based on the flow structure using a gradient based optimization and a genetic algorism. The objective function was adopted the surface Mach number obtained on the cascade and fourteen design variables were selected for controlling sidewall shapes. The designed sidewalls using the genetic algorism shows better result.

Due to the global warming, the need to secure the alternative resources has become more important worldwide. Having very strong current on the west coast with up to 10 m tidal range, there are many suitable sites for the application of TCP(Tidal current power) in Korea. Not only from the current produced from the high tidal range, but also it can be widely applied to the offshore jetties and piers. The VAT(Vertical axis turbine) system could be very effective tidal device to extract the energies from the attacking flow to the structures. For the relatively slow current speed, the VAT system could be more effective application than HAT(Horizontal axis turbine) device. The performance of VAT can be evaluated by various parameters including number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameters and etc. The paper introduces the multi-layer vertical axis tidal current power system with savonius turbine. The turbine was designed with consideration of optimal blade numbers and the performance was simulated by CFD analysis.

헬리콥터, 팬, 프로펠러, 터이빈같이 회전익에서 유체역학적 소음이 발생하는 장치의 설계에 있어서는 공기 역학적 성능 분석과 함께 소음에 대한 해석이 절대적으로 필요하다. 근래에 들어와서 소음에 대한 관심이 급격히 증가하고 공항 주변에서의 국제적인 규약들은 낮은 소음 수준(low noise level)을 규정하고 있으며, 이에 따라서 소음을 감소시키려는 연구가 매우 활발히 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 더욱이 컴퓨터의 냉각 팬을 비롯한 공조기기 및 산업기기에 사용되는 회전기계에서 발생되는 소음의 저감은 보다 더 쾌적한 환경을 요구하는 사회적 요구에 부합하면서 공력소음의 연구 분야가 더 넓어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소음예측 방법중의 하나인 음향상사(acoustic analogy)를 주파수 영역 방법(frequency domain method)을 이용하여 헬리콥터 블레이드의 고속 충격소음(High Speed Impulsive Noise)을 해석한다. 고속 충격소음은 블레이드-와류 상호작용 소음과 더불어 헬리콥터의 지배적인 소음원으로서 깃끝 속도가 큰 전진 수평비행(forward level flight)또는 제자리 비행(hovering flight)시 발생하는 소음으로 블레이드의 깃끝 마하수(critical Mach number)보다 크거나 비슷할 경우 충격파의 교란에 의해서 일어나는 충격적인 소음을 말한다. 고속 충격소음은 고주파수 스펙트럼 성분과 큰 소음강도를 가지고 있기 때문에 날카로운 금속성의 소리를 내며 먼 거리까지 전파되는 특징을 가지고 있다.

The key issues for the reduction technologies of the exhaust gas from diesel engine being developed are to reduce particulate matters and NOx. The SCR system is known to be one of the most efficient and stable technologies to remove NOx through the mixing of NOx and urea solution. In the present research, the effects of mixer configurations of SCR system have been investigated to enhance the SCR performance. First, a Schlieren technique is employed to visualize the mixing characteristics of urea solution and exhaust gas. The results show that a mixer is essential to obtain proper fluid mixing. In addition, numerical studies have been made to understand the mixing characteristics through the comparison of the mal-distribution index of concentration at the several locations of the diffuser. In particular, the effects of number of blade and mixer angles on mixing characteristics were studied. The results show that the blade angle has a larger effect on the mixing characteristics than the number of blades.

Two Unrecorded species from Jeju Province are reported: Maesa japonica of Maesaceae which is unrecorded family and Cardamine tanakae of Brassicaceae. Monotypic family Maesaceae, is distinguished from Myrsinaceae and Primulaceae by having pedicels with a pair of bracteoles, flowers without staminodia, semi-inferior ovary and indehiscent fruits with many seeds. M. japonica is readily distinguishable from M. salicifolia in China and M. montana var. formosana in Taiwan and Japan by shapes of blades, corolla and bracteoles, the presence/absence of serrulation of leaf margins, ratio of length of corolla tube and corolla lobes, feature and color of fruit surface. C. tanakae is most similar to Korean endemic C. glechomifolia in morphology, however, the two taxa are readily distinguishable by the number of leaflets of cauline leaves, size of terminal leaflets, number of flowers per inflorescence, the presence of whitish hairs on ovary and fruits.

This experiment was done to observe the morphological change of plant under the cultivation of deep ploughing and heavy fertilization with paddy rice 1963 at Seoul. A seedling of 35 days old was transplanted June 1st, in a galvanized iron pot with botton 20 cm in diameter, which was painted white inside and filled with sand mixed with fertilizers. The treatments were 15cm soil depth of normal fertilization, 30cm of fertilization twice and 45cm of fertilization thrice. Replications were three. The plant was observed on main stem Aug. 6 before heading, Sep. 12 after heading and Oct. 17 at the time of harvest at the same pot. The results are as follows. The length and the width of leaf blades of the upper part on main stem have the tendency to be big and vigorous with the deep ploughing and heavy fertilizations(Fig 1, 2, 3 and 4). The number and the size of vascular bundles of main stem is to increase when the paddy is cultivated with the method of deep ploughing and heavy fertilizations(Fig 5). The number and the weight of roots of main stem increases with deep ploughing and heavy fertilizations(Fig 6).

In this study, the models with three, five and ten wings of the propeller which made a light aircraft fly were performed by air flow analyses. As for the flow model A with the shape with five wings, Model A can be seen to be the most ideal flow of air. The flow of air through the number of wings, which is not too many or too few, shows the most smooth flowing form. The smaller the number of propeller blades, the smaller the flow of air. Model A is applied under pressure of up to 0.5631 MPa at the front of air flow. Also, models B and C are applied under pressures of 0.5758 MPa and 0.5589 MPa, respectively. Comparing the pressure contours for each model of flux, model B can be shown to have the highest pressure distribution. The result of this study can be used to investigate the air flow without actual testing. It also seems to be helpful in the aesthetic convergent design of light aircraft propeller.

Centrifugal fans are widely used and the noise generated by these machines causes one of the most serious problems. In general, the centrifugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the flow discharged from the impeller and the cutoff in the casing. However, only a few researches have been carried out on predicting the noise due to the difficulty in obtaining detailed information about the flow field and casing effects on noise radiation. The objective of this study is to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan and to calculate the effects of rotating velocity, flow rate, cut-off distance and the number of blades and its effects on the noise of the fan. We assume that the impeller rotates with a constant angular velocity and the flow field around the impeller is incompressible and inviscid. So, a discrete vortex method (DVM) is used to model the centrifugal fan and to calculate the flow field. The force of each element on the blade is calculated with the unsteady Bernoulli equation. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic source. The cut-off distance is the most important factor effecting the noise generation. Acoustic pressure is proportional to 2.8, which shows the same scaling index as the experimental result. In this paper, the cut-off distance is found to be the dominant parameter offecting the acoustic pressure.
