The main objective of this study is to predict the wind power generation at the wind farm using various wake models. Modeling of wind farm is a prerequisite for prediction of annual energy production at the wind farm. In this study, we modeled 20 MW class Seongsan wind farm which has 10 wind turbines located at the eastern part of Jeju Island. WindSim based on the computational fluid dynamics was adopted for the estimation of power generation. The power curve and thrust coefficient with meteorology file were prepared for wind farm modelling. The meteorology file was produced based on the measured data of the Korea Wind Atlas provided by Korea Institute of Energy Research. Three types of wake models such as Jensen, Larsen, and Ishihara et al. wake models were applied to investigate the wake effects. From the result, Jensen and Ishihara wake models show nearly the same value of power generation whereas the Larsen wake model shows the largest value. New positions of wind turbines are proposed to reduce the wake loss, and to increase the annual energy production of the wind farm.

An experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the effects on the fore- and hind-wings of a dragonfly-type model. A model with two pairs of wing was developed to measure the lift and thrust of a dragonfly-type model. The fore-wing and hind-wing had incidences angle of $0^{\circ}\;and\;10^{\circ}$. The freestream velocity is 1.6m/sec and the corresponding chord Reynolds number was $Re=2.88{\times}10^3$. Also, these experiments were carried out with a phase difference of $90^{\circ}$ between the fore- and hind-wing, aerodynamic forces caused by fore-wing only and two pairs of wings were investigated according to the reduced frequency. The results show that the model with fore-wings only generates a thrust component; however, the dragonfly-type model with hind-wings with an incidence angle of $10^{\circ}$ generates a drag component. The total drag is also increased with reduced frequency due to the increased lift of hind-wings.

In the case of the general helicopter among rotorcraft, length of the rotor blade for thrust-generation is longer than that of fuselage and tail rotor is required in order to compensate moment of the fuselage. For those reasons, enough space for take-off and landing should be secured and an accessibility for building is low. Also, the accidents caused by tail rotor occur frequently. However, the case of counter-rotating has merits that tail rotor is unnecessary as well as length of the rotor blade can be shortened but has a weakness that the weight of body is increased. In the present study, aerodynamic force measurement on single rotor system equipped with NACA0012 airfoil, which has aspect ratio of 6 and chord length of 35.5 mm, was carried out. And measurement was conducted with blade which has a half size of the former blade by using single motor counter-rotating. Aerodynamic force measurement was acquired by using 6-component balances and coefficients of thrust and power were derived along the pitch angle varying from 0$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$ with the increment of 10$^{\circ}$. Those aerodynamic force data will be utilized for the design and production of brand-new counter-rotating rotor blade system which has same thrust with single blade system and provides a good accessibility to building by reducing its blade length.

In this study, microfabrication of a micro-arcjet nozzle with Fifth-harmonic generation Nd：YAG pulses (wavelength 213 nm) and its thrust performance tests were conducted. A micro-arcjet nozzle was machined in a 1.2 mm thick quartz plate. Sizes of the nozzle were 0.44 mm in width of the nozzle exit and constrictor diameter of 0.1 mm. For an anode, a thin film of Au (~100 nm thick) was deposited by DC discharge PVD in vacuum on divergent part of the nozzle. As for a cathode, an Au film was also coated on inner wall surface. In operational tests, a stable discharge was observed for mass flow of 1.0mg/sec, discharge current of 6 ㎃, discharge voltage of 600 V, or 3.6 W input power (specific power of 3.6 MW/kg). In this case, plenum pressure of the discharge chamber was 80 ㎪. With 3.6 W input power, thrust obtained was 1.4 mN giving specific impulse of 138 sec with thrust efficiency of 24 %.

급속한 경제 발전과 도시 인구 증가는 기존의 인프라의 개선과 확대를 위한 지하 공간 활용의 필요성을 증가 시킨다. 쉴드 TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine)은 높은 굴진율과 최소한의 지반 교란이 필요한 지하 구조물 설계에 널리 이용되어 왔다. 허용 추력과 커터헤드 토크는 적절한 TBM 타입을 선택에 있어서, 중요한 설계 인자 이므로 TBM 공사 시에 적절히 산정되어야 한다. 하지만, 기존의 추력과 토크의 추정 모델은 오직 경험적인 인자와 TBM 직경에만 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이는 최적의 추력 유압 시스템과 적절한 유압부품의 선택을 어렵게 한다. 본 연구에서는 4개의 추력 및 토크 계산 모델을 설명하고 정리하였으며, 각각의 모델들을 비교 및 논의하였다.

Although the harsh space environment imposes many severe challenges to space pioneers, space exploration is a realistic and profitable goal for long-term humanity survival. One of the viable and promising options to overcome the harsh environment of space is nuclear propulsion. Particularly, the Nuclear Thermal Rocket (NTR) is a leading candidate for nearterm human missions to Mars and beyond due to its relatively high thrust and efficiency. Traditional NTR designs use typically high power reactors with fast or epithermal neutron spectrums to simplify core design and to maximize thrust. In parallel there are a series of new NTR designs with lower thrust and higher efficiency, designed to enhance mission versatility and safety through the use of redundant engines (when used in a clustered engine arrangement) for future commercialization. This paper proposes a new NTR design of the second design philosophy, Korea Advanced NUclear Thermal Engine Rocket (KANUTER), for future space applications. The KANUTER consists of an Extremely High Temperature Gas cooled Reactor (EHTGR) utilizing hydrogen propellant, a propulsion system, and an optional electricity generation system to provide propulsion as well as electricity generation. The innovatively small engine has the characteristics of high efficiency, being compact and lightweight, and bimodal capability. The notable characteristics result from the moderated EHTGR design, uniquely utilizing the integrated fuel element with an ultra heat-resistant carbide fuel, an efficient metal hydride moderator, protectively cooling channels and an individual pressure tube in an all-in-one package. The EHTGR can be bimodally operated in a propulsion mode of $100MW_{th}$ and an electricity generation mode of $100MW_{th}$, equipped with a dynamic energy conversion system. To investigate the design features of the new reactor and to estimate referential engine performance, a preliminary design study in terms of neutronics and thermohydraulics was carried out. The result indicates that the innovative design has great potential for high propellant efficiency and thrust-to-weight of engine ratio, compared with the existing NTR designs. However, the build-up of fission products in fuel has a significant impact on the bimodal operation of the moderated reactor such as xenon-induced dead time. This issue can be overcome by building in excess reactivity and control margin for the reactor design.

Design of a Pump Jet Propulsor (PJP) was undertaken for an underwater body with axisymmetric configuration using axial/low compressor design techniques supported by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for performance prediction. Experimental evaluation of the PJP was earned out through experiments in a Wind Tunnel Facility (WTF) using momentum defect principle for propulsive performance prior to proceeding with extensive experimental evaluation in towing tank and cavitation tunnel. Experiments were particularly conducted with respect to Self Propulsion Point (SPP), residual torque and thrust characteristics over a range of vehicle advance ratio in order to ascertain whether sufficient thrust is developed at the design condition with least possible imbalance torque left out due to residual swirl in the slip stream. Pumpjet and body models were developed for the propulsion tests using Aluminum alloy forged material. Tests were conducted from 0 m/s to 30 m/s at four rotational speeds of the PJP. SPP was determined confirming the thrust development capability of PJP. Estimation of residual torque was carried out at SPP corresponding to speeds of 15, 20 and 25 m/s to examine the effectiveness of the stator. Estimation of thrust and residual torque was also carried out at wind speeds 0 and 6 m/s for PJP RPMs corresponding to self propulsion tests to study the propulsion characteristics during the launch of the vehicle m water where advance ratios are close to Zero. These results are essential to assess the thrust performance at very low advance ratios to accelerate the body and to control the body during initial stages. This technique has turned out to be very useful and economical method for quick assessment of overall performance of the propulsor and generation of exhaustive fluid dynamic data to validate CFD techniques employed.

Vane tip 개념을 도입하여 소음 특성을 개선하도록 설계된 차세대 로터 블레이드(NRSB-I)의 공력 성능을 기존의 BERP 블레이드와 비교하기 위하여, 제자리 비행에 대한 점성 압축성 계산을 수행하였다. 깃끝 영역의 면적감소에 의하여 설계된 로터 블레이드의 절대 추력이 6-7% 정도 감소하지만, 동력계수의 감소폭이 더 크기 때문에 제자리 비행 성능상의 손실은 거의 없는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 깃끝 절단부에서 발생한 와류는 블레이드 표면을 지날 때 확산에 의하여 그 강도가 현저하게 약화되므로, 설계요구조건을 만족시키기 위해서는 절단부 위치에 펜스가 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 직렬 배치된 익형이 동시에 플래핑 운동을 할 때의 추력 생성 과정과 유동특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 익형의 운동 주파수, 진폭 및 전후방 익형 간의 상대거리 등에 대한 계산을 체계적으로 실시하여 다음과 같은 사실을 확인할 수 있었다. 먼저, 위상차 없이 전후방 익형이 동시에 병진운동을 할 경우 대부분의 주파수와 진폭 영역에서 후방익형의 추력과 추진효율이 최대화됨을 알 수 있었다. 플래핑 진폭이 0.2 코드, 무차원주파수가 0.75일 경우, 후방익형의 추진효율이 전방익형보다 37% 이상 개선되는 것으로 계산되었다. 단, 익형의 운동 진폭과 주파수가 임계치를 초과할 경우 전방익형의 뒷전와류에 의해 후방익형의 앞전와류의 강도가 강화되면서 전체적인 추력과 효율이 저하될 수 있다. 둘째, 전후방익형이 180도의 위상차를 갖고 운동을 할 경우에는 전방익형의 후류와 후방익형이 서로 반대방향으로 상호작용을 함으로써 결과적으로 공력특성이 악화되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 후방익형의 배치 위치에 따른 특성은 수평방향으로는 두 익형사이의 거리가 멀어질수록 추력과 효율이 동시에 떨어지며, 수직방향 위치변화에 따른 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
