본 논문은 고속압력감응페인트기법(Fast-Responding PSP)을 소개하고, 이를 이용하여 정지비행상태에 있는 축소형 로터 블레이드의 표면(윗면) 압력을 측정해봄으로서 PSP를 이용한 로터 블레이드 표면 압력 측정의 정확성과 그에 따른 실험기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험을 위한 광원으로는 532 nm 파장을 가지는 Pulsed laser를 사용하였고, PSP 측정 기법으로는 Lifetime 기법을 적용하였다. 또한, 모델 표면에 도포된 압력감응페인트는 반응성이 높은 Porous PSP가 사용되었다. 로터 블레이드는 NACA0012 익형을 가지고 있으며 길이 340 mm, 코드 40 mm의 직사각 형상 1종과 끝단의 후퇴각이 다른 4종의 형상을 사용하였다. 로터 블레이드의 콜렉티브 피치각 변화에 따른 표면 압력 분포를 측정하였으며 측정된 결과를 통해 콜렉티브 피치각이 증가할수록 윗면의 압력이 낮아지는 것을 정성적으로 확인하였고, 정량적인 압력계수는 NASA의 실험 데이터와 비교하여 약 0.4~0.7 정도 높은 경향성을 보였다.

A structural test of the wind turbine rotor blade must be required to evaluate the uncertainty in design assessment due to use of material, design concepts, production processes and so on, and the possible impact on the structural integrity. In the full-scale static strength test, the measuring parameters are strain, displacements, loads, weight and the center of gravity. There are test equipments, measuring sensors, a test rig and fixtures to obtain measuring parameters. In order to simulate the aerodynamics load, the three-point loading method instead of the one-point loading method is applied. There is slightly some difference between the measured results and the predicted results with the reference fiber volume fraction of 60%. However, the agreement between the measured results and the predicted results with the actual fiber volume fraction of 52.5% is good. Even though a slightly non-linearity from 80% loading to 100% loading, a linear static solution is sufficient for the design purpose as the amount of the non-linearity is relatively small. Comparison between measured and predicted strain results at the maximum thickness positions of the blade profile for 0.236R(5.56m), 0.493R(11.59m) and 0.574R(13.43m), under 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% loadings for the upper part of the blade. The predicted values are in good agreement with the measured values.

A structural test of the wind turbine rotor blade is to evaluate the uncertainty of design due to selection of material, design concepts, production processes and so on, and their possible impacts on the structural integrity. In the full-scale static strength test, the measuring parameters are strain and displacements vs. loads, weight and the center of gravity. In order to simulate the aerodynamics load, the three-point loading method is applied. There is slight difference between the measured results and the predicted results for the reference fiber volume fraction of 60% . However, the agreement between the measured results and the predicted results with the actual fiber volume fraction of 52.5% is good. Even though a slightly non-linearity from 80% loading to 100% loading exists, a linear static solution is sufficient for the design purpose due to te small amount of non-linearity. Comparison between measured and predicted strain results at the maximum thickness positions of the blade profile for 0.236R(5.56m), 0.493R(11.59m) and 0.574R(13.43m), under 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% loadings for the upper part of the blade.

동축 로터 시스템은 기존의 헬리콥터뿐만 아니라 드론, PAV, 차세대 고속 회전익기 및 화성탐사용 헬리콥터에 적용되는 등, 활용 분야가 점점 넓어지고 있다. 로터 시스템의 성능 연구는 기존 연구에서 동축 로터를 대상으로도 여러 차례 수행되었으나, 로터 블레이드의 변형에 대한 연구는 주로 단일 로터 시스템만을 대상으로 진행되었다. 하지만 동축 로터 시스템에서는 주변에서 발생하는 유동이 복잡하며, 두 로터의 간격이 로터 시스템 전체의 성능에 주요한 영향을 주므로 블레이드의 변형 연구가 더욱 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최신식 고속 영상촬영 기법 중 하나인 SPR(Stereo Pattern Recognition) 기법을 사용해 동축 로터 블레이드의 변형 측정에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에는 한국항공우주연구원에서 개발한 축소 동축 로터 시험장치가 사용되었으며, 로터 블레이드의 변형과 성능의 연관성을 고찰하기 위해 동축 로터 시스템의 성능시험이 선행되었다. 해당 시스템의 로터 블레이드 변형을 SPR 기법으로 측정한 결과는 사전에 진행된 성능시험 결과와 함께 본 논문에 제시되었다.

This paper summarizes the experimentally-measured performance of small-scale, vertical-axis wind turbine for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic efficiency and its controllability. The turbine is designed to have a Savonius-Type rotor with an inlet guide-vane and an side guide-vane so that it achieves a higher efficiency than any lift- or drag-based turbines. The main design factors for this high-efficient, vertical wind turbine are the number of blades (Z), and the aspect ratio of Height/Diameter (H/D) among many. The basic model has the diameter of 580mm, the height of 464mm, and the blade number of 10. The maximum power coefficient of 0.50 was experimentally measured for the above-mentioned specifications. The inlet-guide vane ensures the maximum efficiency when the angle of attack to the rotor blade lies between $15^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$. This experimental results for the vertical-axis wind turbine can be applied to the preliminary design of turbine output curve based on the wind characteristics at the proposed site by controlling its aerodynamic performance given as a priori.

In this study, the damage mechanism of large scale steam turbine due to water induction was analyzed and recovery characteristics were reviewed. A turbine consists of the rotating rotor and the stationary casing, and the clearance between them is very small for the efficiency enhancement. If water induction, while relatively cold steam or water is introduced into turbine, occurs, the considerable humping is caused at the casing near the initial water induction point and that induces the rubbing between rotor and casing. Finally, it leads to the catastrophic failure. Bowed rotor has the different characteristics in the recovery depending on damage degree. The elastic deformation due to light rubbing is recovered by turning the rotor with 3 rpm under normal operation condition, but most plastic deformation due to rubbing deforms the local microstructure and that results in permanent deformation which could not be recovered under normal operation condition. Bowed rotor has diverse characteristics depending on the recovery method, and the method is empirical and needs the cutting edge technology. Careful recovery treatment of the rotor will eliminate the risks and secure the high quality rotor similar to new rotor. If any critical error is made during the recovery, the rotor would not be recovered permanently and it should be scrapped.

This paper represents the effect of rotor geometry on the performance of a small-scale Wells turbine for wave energy conversion. In this study, four kinds of blade profile were selected from previous studies with regard to the blade profile of the Wells turbine. The experimental investigations have been performed for two solidities by model testing under steady flow conditions, and then the effect of blade profile on the running and starting characteristics under sinusoidal flow conditions have been investigated by a numerical simulation using a quasi-steady analysis. In addition, the effect of sweep on the turbine characteristics has been investigated for the cases of CA9 and HSIM 15-262123-1576. As a result, a suitable choice of these design factors has been suggested.

This paper describes the aeroelastic stability test of the small-scaled 'Next-Generation Blade(NRSB)' with NRSH (Next-Generation Hub System) and HCTH hingeless hub system in hover and forward flight conditions. Excitation tests of rotor system installed in GSRTS(General Small-scale Rotor Test System) at KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) were tarried out to get lead-lag damping ratio of blades with flexures as hub flexure. MBA(Moving Block Analysis) technique was used for the estimation of lead-lag damping ratio. First, NRSB-1F blades with HCTH hub system, Then NRSB-1F with NRSH hub system were tested. Second, NRSB-2F blades with NRSH hub system were tested. Tests were done on the ground and in the wind tunnel according to the test conditions of hover and forward flight, respectively. Non-rotating natural frequencies, non-rotating damping ratios and rotating natural frequencies were showed similar level fir each cases. Estimated damping ratios of NRSB-1F, NRSB-2F with HCTH and NRSH were above 0.5%, and damping ratio increased by collective pitch angle increasement. Furthermore damping ratios of NRSB-2F were higher than damping ratios of NRSB-1F in high pitch angle. It was confirmed that the blade design for noise reduction would give observable improvement in aeroelastic stability compared to paddle blade and NRSB-1F design.
