The important problems that arise in the design and performance of the axial flow turbine are the prediction and control of secondary flows. Some progresses have been made on understanding flow conditions that occur when the inlet endwall boundary layer separates at the point in the endwall and rolls up into the horseshoe vortex. And the flows though an axial turbine tend to be extremely complex due to its inherent unsteady and viscous phenomena. The passing wakes generated from the trailing edge of the stator make an interaction with the rotor. Unsteady flow should be considered rotor/stator interactions. The main purpose of this research is control of secondary flow and improvement efficiency in turbine by leading edge modification in unsteady state. When the wake from the stator ran into the modified leading edge of the rotor, the leading edge generated the weak pressure fluctuation by complex passage flows. In conclusion, leading edge modification(bulb2) results in the reduced total pressure loss in the flow field.

Numerical analysis of the partial admission turbine in the KARI turbopump has been performed. Flow field of the partial admission turbine is intrinsically unsteady and three dimensional. To avoid heavy computational efforts, the frozen rotor method is adopted in computation and compared with the mixing plane approach. The frozen rotor method can represent the variation of a flow field along the circumferential direction of rotor blades, which have the different relative positions to the nozzle with one another. It also illustrates the wake loss mechanism starting from the lip of a nozzle, which is not captured in the mixing plane method. The frozen rotor method has proven to be an efficient tool for the design of a partial admission turbine.

본 연구에서는 블레이드 구조 변형 효과를 고려하여 스테이터-로터 상호간섭 케스케이드 모델의 성능평가를 위한 유체-구조 연계해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 고정된 스테이터와 회전하는 로터는 상호간섭 영향이 유동해석에 고려되었으며, 레이놀즈-평균화 난류 방정식인 Spalart-Allmaras 모델과 k-ω SST 난류 모델이 압축성 유동박리 효과를 고려한 유동하중을 예측하기 위해 적용되었다. 정적인 유체-구조 연계해석과 수렴율 증진을 효과적으로 수행하기 위하여 큰 인공 감쇠를 가지는 연계 Newmark 시간적분 기법을 적용하였다. 수치실험을 통해 탄성축 위치에 따른 구조변형 효과가 케스케이드 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 구조변형 효과가 고려된 경우 일반적인 강체 블레이드 모델에 대한 성능예측 결과와 다소 차이가 유발될 수 있음을 보였으며 공력탄성학적 영향을 고찰하였다.

This paper deals with the aeroelastic instability of vibrating multiple blade rows under aerodynamic coupling with each other. A model composed of three blade rows, e.g., rotor-stator-rotor, where blades of the two rotor cascades are simultaneously vibrating, is considered. The displacement of a blade vibrating under aerodynamic force is expanded in a modal series with the natural mode shape functions, and the modal amplitudes are treated as the generalized coordinates. The generalized mass matrix and the generalized stiffness matrix are formulated on the basis of the finite element concept. The generalized aerodynamic force on a vibrating blade consists of the component induced by the motion of the blade itself and those induced not only by vibrations of other blades of the same cascade but also vibrations of blades in another cascade. To evaluate the aerodynamic forces, the unsteady lifting surface theory for the model of three blade rows is applied. The so-called k method is applied to determine the critical flutter conditions. A numerical study has been conducted. The flutter boundaries are compared with those for a single blade row. It is shown that the effect of the aerodynamic blade row coupling substantially modifies the critical flutter conditions.

The flotation performance of the induced gas flotation (IGF) machine is considerably influenced by geometric configurations of rotor and stator. The interaction of rotor and stator, which are the most important components in IGF, serves to mix the air bubbles. Thus, the understanding of flow characteristics and consequential analysis on the machine are essential for the optimal design of IGF. In this study, two-phase (water and air) flow characteristics in the forced-air mechanically stirred Dorr-Oliver flotation cell was investigated using ANSYS CFX. In addition, the void fraction and the velocity distributions are determined and presented with different blade configurations.

BLDC 모터와 같은 동기전동기에서 소음과 진동의 원인이 되는 코깅토크는 전동기내의 비 균일 토크로서 전동기 시스템의 자기 에너지가 최소인 위치로 이동하려는 접선방향의 힘으로 부하전류와 상관없이 회전자 영구자석과 고정자 슬롯의 상호작용에 의해 발생한다. 이러한 코깅토크는 전동기의 소음과 진동의 주요 원인이 되므로 전동기 설계 시 반드시 고려해야 한다. 코깅토크는 영구자석이 부착된 회전자에 의하여 공극 중에 비교적 저차의 고조파 자속밀도와 고정자 철심 슬롯의 상호작용으로 발생한다는 점을 중시하여 본 논문에서는 실험계획법의 일종인 반응표면 법을 사용하여 코깅토크를 저감하는 방법에 대해 제시하였다.

Francis turbines are often operated over a wide load range due to high flexibility in electricity demand and penetration of other renewable energies. This has raised significant concerns about the existing designing criteria. Hydraulic turbines are not designed to withstand large dynamic pressure loadings on the stationary and rotating parts during such conditions. Previous investigations on transient operating conditions of turbine were mainly focused on the pressure fluctuations due to the rotor-stator interaction. This study characterizes the synchronous and asynchronous pressure and velocity fluctuations due to rotor-stator interaction and rotating vortex rope during load variation, i.e. best efficiency point to part load and vice versa. The measurements were performed on the Francis-99 test case. The repeatability of the measurements was estimated by providing similar movement to guide vanes twenty times for both load rejection and load acceptance operations. Synchronized two dimensional particle image velocimetry and pressure measurements were performed to investigate the dominant frequencies of fluctuations, vortex rope formation, and modes (rotating and plunging) of the rotating vortex rope. The time of appearance and disappearance of rotating and plunging modes of vortex rope was investigated simultaneously in the pressure and velocity data. The asynchronous mode was observed to dominate over the synchronous mode in both velocity and pressure measurements.

The effects of acoustic resonance and volute geometry on phase resonance are studied theoretically and experimentally using a centrifugal fan. One dimensional theoretical model is developed taking account of the reflection from the discharge pipe end. It was found that the phase resonance occurs, even with the effects of acoustic resonance, when the rotational speed of rotor-stator interaction pattern agrees with the sound velocity. This was confirmed by experiments with and without a silencer at the discharge pipe exit. The pressure wave measurements showed that there are certain effects of the cross-sectional area change of the volute which is neglected in the one dimensional model. To clarify the effects of area change, experiments were carried out by using a ring volute with a constant area. It was demonstrated that the phase resonance occurs for both interaction modes travelling towards/away from the volute. The amplitude of travelling wave grows towards the volute exit for the modes rotating towards the volute exit, in the same direction as the impeller. However, a standing wave is developed in the volute for the modes rotating away from the volute exit in the opposite direction as the impeller, as a result of the interaction of a growing wave while travelling towards the tongue and a reflected wave away from the tongue.

In order to study the self-propulsion test and analysis techniques for the submerged body with pumpjet propulsors in the Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering, a set of test equipment was designed and manufactured. The pumpjet propulsor is composed of rotor, stator and duct which results in the strong interaction between the components. To measure the thrust and torque for duct and stator, a ring-shaped sensor was applied. The test equipment including pumpjet is installed on the stern of the submerged body. As the whole pumpjet including duct and stator was considered as the propulsor from pumpjet open-water test, the self-propulsion test was conducted in the same way. The total thrust, combined thrust of rotor, duct and stator was used for the pumpjet self-propulsion test analysis. Accordingly, the self-propulsion test and analysis were conducted in the same way as those of the conventional propeller. The full-scale performances of the pumpjet propulsor were compared with those of the reference propeller. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the pumpjet propulsor would be designed optimally.
