Accurate measurement of speed and altitude of flying vehicles in air data system remains a critical technical issue. A highly reliable Pitot-static probe is required to obtain air data such as total pressure and static pressure. In this study, an analysis of the characteristics of flowfield around the Pitot-static probe was performed by using a Navier-Stokes CFD code. In addition, for the purpose of finding an optimal configuration, a technique based on the response surface method is applied to the problem with design parameters including shape of the nose section and cone angle. It is shown that the optimal configuration fulfills the MIL specification in wider range of high angles of attack.

극초음속 추진기관의 설계 및 평가에 있어 추력의 측정은 매우 중요하다. 일반적인 추력 측정방법으로는 추력 측정기를 사용하고 있지만 이러한 방법으론 엔진의 자유제트 실험이나 모델 연소기 같은 실험에는 적용이 부적절하다. 이 때문에 피토압력을 이용한 새로운 추력 계산 방법을 고려하였고 검증하였다. 피토 압력을 통해 계산된 추력의 검증은 추력측정기를 통해 측정된 실제 추력값과의 비료를 통해 이루어질 수 있으며 이를 위해 추력측정기 위에 소형 초음속 풍동을 장착하였다. 추력이 측정되는 동안 충동 후방의 피토압력을 동시에 측정하였다. 측정된 피토 압력을 이용하여 구한 추력값을 검증하기 위해서, 추력측정기로 측정한 추력을 완정팽창 노즐이론 및 추력계수를 이용한 이론적인 계산에 의해 구해진 추력값과 비료, 분석하였다.

무인기의 INS/GPS/기압고도계 결합항법 시스템에서 수직채널감쇠루프를 사용하여 고도 오차를 보정할 때 비행 고도의 오차를 감소시키기 위해서 기압고도계의 정밀도를 향상시켜야한다. 피토정압관을 사용하여 기압 고도를 측정할 때 비행 속도와 자세 등의 변화에 따라 피토정압관 주위의 압력이 변하여 정압 오차에 의한 기압 고도의 오차를 유발한다. 정압 오차를 보정하기 위하여 풍동 시험과 CFD, 비행 시험 등의 자료를 이용하여 피토정압관 측정 압력의 변화를 분석하고 받음각과 비행 속도에 따른 압력 오차의 모델을 수립하였다. 비행 속도 변화에 의한 오차를 보정하기 위하여 피토정압관의 차압과 차압/정압 비를 사용한 두 가지 오차 모델에 대하여 압력 섭동에 대한 민감도 해석을 하였고 비행 시험에 적용하여 차압/정압 비를 사용한 모델이 고고도 비행 특성이 우수하다는 결론을 얻었다.

슬롯과 다공판을 이용한 충격파와 난류 경계층 간섭유동의 피동제어에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 슬롯의 다양한 형상 변화가 간섭유동에 미치는 영향이 관찰되었으며, 이를 위하여 간섭유동 후방에서 피토/벽압력 분포 및 쉴리렌, 유맥선, 오일막 간섭 줄무늬 형상과 같은 유동가시화 결과 등이 얻어졌다. 유동방향의 슬롯의 경우 간섭유동 후방에서 제어되지 않은 경우와 비교하여 보다 높은 피토압력이 국소적으로 관찰되었으나, 폭방향 슬롯제어는 전체적으로 제어되지 않은 경우에 비하여 피토압력 크기에서 큰 장점을 보이지 않았다.

The irreversibility of condensation process in the supersonic flow of steam turbine cascade causes the entropy to increase and the total pressure loss to be generated. In the present study, in order to investigate the moist air flow in two dimensional steam turbine cascade made as the configuration of the last stage tip section of the actual steam turbine moving blade, the static and total pressures along suction side of the blade are measured by pressure taps and Pitot tube. The flow field is visualized by a Schlieren system. The effects of stagnation temperature and the degree of supersaturation on energy loss and entropy change in the flow are clearly identified.

A CFD analysis of helicopter flowfield in forward flight is considered as non-trivial issue because of the complexity of vorticity-dominated flowfield. In this work, a study on the selection of the proper location for the installation of the Pitot probe is conducted using a CFD code which can deal with the interaction of rotor blade vortex and body. To describe the flow patterns for rotating rotor blades and body, the sliding mesh scheme is utilized. Pressure distributions and flow patterns are also analyzed to identify regions free from the interaction of body and wake induced from rotor blades.

The flow characteristics passing a multi-point Pitot tube flow-meter of diamond shape and the characteristics of flow coefficients of the flow-meter are experimentally studied by varying combination of upstream rectangular dual elbows. The results provide the flow coefficients, which show good stability and reliability within the Reynolds number range coveted here in this study, and which can be used to measure flow-rates in practice. The variation of dual elbows upstream can change the velocity field so much that the flow pattern might thwart the precise flow measurement using the multi-point Pitot tube. The strongest swirl is detected in the case of $90^{\circ}$ dual elbow combination of all. In addition, it is observed that flow separation remains unchanged and occurs at the same point irrespective of various upstream dual elbow combinations.

Gas flow measurement in a closed duct was performed using multi-point Pitot tubes. Measurement uncertainty was assessed for this measurement method. The method was applied for the measurement of air flow into a gas turbine engine in an altitude engine test facility. 46 Pitot tubes, 15 total temperature Kiel probes and 9 static pressure tabs were installed in the engine inlet duct of inner diameter of 264 mm. Five tests were done in an airflow range of 2~10 kg/s. The flow was compressible and the Reynolds numbers were between 450,000 and 2,220,000. The measurement uncertainty was the highest as 6.1% for the lowest flow rate, and lowest as 0.8% for the highest flow rate. This is because the difference between the total and static pressures, which is also related to the flow velocity, becomes almost zero for low flow rate cases. It was found that this measurement method can be used only when the flow velocity is relatively high, e.g., 50 m/s. Static pressure was the most influencing parameter on the flow rate measurement uncertainty. Temperature measurement uncertainty was not very important. Measurement of boundary layer was found to be important for this type of flow rate measurement method. But measurement of flow non-uniformity was not very important provided that the non-uniformity has random behavior in the duct.
