Skin frictional drag reduction efficiency of "stiff" compliant coating was investigated in a wind tunnel experiment. Flat plate compliant coating inserts were installed in a wind tunnel and the measurements of skin frictional drag and velocity field were carried out. The compliant coatings with varying viscoelastic properties had been prepared using different composition. In order to optimize the coating thickness, the most important design parameter, the dynamic viscoelastic properties had been determined experimentally. The aging of the materials (variation of their properties) during half a year was documented as well. A design procedure proposed by Kulik et al. (2008) was applied to get an optimal value for the coating thickness. Along with the drag measurement using the strain balance, velocity and pressure were measured for different coatings. The compliant coatings with the thickness h = 7mm achieved 4~5% drag reduction within a velocity range 30~40 m/s. The drag reduction mechanism of the attenuation of turbulence velocity fluctuations due to the compliant coating was demonstrated. It is envisioned that larger drag reduction effect is obtainable at higher flow velocities for high speed trains and subsonic aircrafts.

Long-span suspension bridges have evolved through the years and with them, the bridge girder decks improved as well, changing their shapes from standard box-deck girders to twin box and multi-box decks sections. The aerodynamic characteristics of the new generation of twin and multiple-decks are investigated nowadays, to provide the best design wind speeds and the optimum dimensions such bridges could achieve. The multi-box Megane bridge deck is one of the new generation bridge decks, consisting of two side decks for traffic lanes and two middle decks for railways, linked between them with connecting beams. Three-dimensional CFD simulations were performed by employing the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) algorithm with a standard Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model, for $Re=9.3{\times}10^7$ and angles of attack ${\alpha}=-4^{\circ}$, $-2^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}$. Also, a wind tunnel experiment was performed for a scaled model, 1:80 of the Megane bridge deck section, for $Re=5.1{\times}10^5$ and the aerodynamic static coefficients were found to be in good agreement with the results obtained from the CFD-LES model. However the aerodynamic coefficients determined individually, from the CFD-LES model, for each of the traffic and railway decks of the Megane bridge, varied significantly, especially for the downstream traffic deck. Also the pressure distribution and the effect of the spacing between the connecting beams, on the wind speed profiles showed a slight increase in turbulence above the downstream traffic and railway decks.

The strong turbulence characteristic of typhoon not only will significantly change flow field characteristics surrounding the large-scale wind turbine and aerodynamic force distribution on surface, but also may cause morphological evolution of coast dune and thereby form sand storms. A 5MW horizontal-axis wind turbine in a wind power plant of southeastern coastal areas in China was chosen to investigate the distribution law of additional loads caused by wind-sand coupling movement of coast dune at landing of strong typhoons. Firstly, a mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mode was introduced in for high spatial resolution simulation of typhoon "Megi". Wind speed profile on the boundary layer of typhoon was gained through fitting based on nonlinear least squares and then it was integrated into the user-defined function (UDF) as an entry condition of small-scaled CFD numerical simulation. On this basis, a synchronous iterative modeling of wind field and sand particle combination was carried out by using a continuous phase and discrete phase. Influencing laws of typhoon and normal wind on moving characteristics of sand particles, equivalent pressure distribution mode of structural surface and characteristics of lift resistance coefficient were compared. Results demonstrated that: Compared with normal wind, mesoscale typhoon intensifies the 3D aerodynamic distribution mode on structural surface of wind turbine significantly. Different from wind loads, sand loads mainly impact on 30° ranges at two sides of the lower windward region on the tower. The ratio between sand loads and wind load reaches 3.937% and the maximum sand pressure coefficient is 0.09. The coupling impact effect of strong typhoon and large sand particles is more significant, in which the resistance coefficient of tower is increased by 9.80% to the maximum extent. The maximum resistance coefficient in typhoon field is 13.79% higher than that in the normal wind field.

The present study investigated the effect of relative position of the blade on blade surface heat transfer. The experiments were conducted in a low speed wind tunnel with a stationary annular turbine cascade. The test section has a single turbine stage composed of sixteen guide vanes and blades. The chord length of the blade is 150 mm and the mean tip clearance of the blade is $2.5\%$ of the blade chord. The Reynolds number based on blade inlet velocity and chord length is $1.5{\times}105$ and mean turbulence intensity is about $3\%$. To investigate the effect of relative position of blade, the blade at six different positions in a pitch was examined. For the detailed mass transfer measurements, a naphthalene sublimation technique was used. In general, complex heat transfer characteristics are observed on the blade surface due to various flow characteristics, such as a laminar flow separation, relaminarization, flow acceleration, transition to turbulence and tip leakage vortices. The results show that the blade relative position affects those heat transfer characteristics because the distributions of incoming flow velocity and turbulence intensity are changed. Especially, the heat transfer pattern on the near-tip region is significantly affected by the relative position of the blade because the effect of tip leakage vortex is strongly dependent on the blade position. On the pressure side, the effect of blade position is not so significant as on the suction side surface although the position and the size of the separation bubble are changed.

로터에 작용하는 불균형한 반복 하중은 풍력발전기에 구조적 하중을 발생시키고 이러한 하중이 구조물에 지속적으로 누적되면 피로 파괴와 수명 단축을 발생시킨다. Individual pitch control(IPC)는 이러한 구조적 하중을 저감시키고 풍력발전기의 작동 수명 연장에 효과가 있는 제어 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 Decentralized LQR(DLQR)과 Disturbance accommodating control(DAC)를 이용한 IPC 설계를 제시한다. DLQR은 로터 회전속도 제어를 위해 사용하였고 DAC는 블레이드에 외란으로 작용하는 바람(난류) 효과를 상쇄하도록 구성하였다. 제시된 IPC제어기의 구조적 하중 저감 효과는 Gain-scheduled PI로 설계된 Collective pitch control(CPC)과 비교하여 확인하였다. 또한, IPC의 구조물 하중 저감 효과를 확인하기 위해 피로 누적에 의한 손상정도를 나타내는 피로등가하중(DEL)을 이용하였다.

For the reduction of fuel consumption of high speed, the aerodynamic drag must be reduced. In early vehicle design process, it is very important to have information about aerodynamic characteristics of design models. In this phase CFD methods are usually used to predict the aerodynamic forces. But commercial programs using turbulence models cannot give a good agreement with experimental result and have also problems with convergence. PowerFLOW employs a new technology called DIGITAL PHYSICS, which provides a different approach to simulating fluids. DIGITAL PHYSICS uses a lattice-based approach (extended from lattice-gas and lattice-Boltzmann methods) where time, space and velocity are discrete. This discrete system represents the Wavier-Stokes continuum behavior without the numerical instability Issues of traditional CFD solvers, such as convergence. In this paper, aerodynamic performance of vehicles are simulated using PowerFLOW by Exa and results are compared with experimental wind tunnel data.

To realize magnetic sails, momentum of the solar wind should be efficiently transferred to a spacecraft via magnetic field, which is produced around a spacecraft. In this paper, two important physical processes are addressed: 1) diffusive processes caused by plasma turbulence at the magnetospheric boundary around the spacecraft; and 2) field aligned current loops that will electrically connect the magnetospheric boundary and the spacecraft. The idea of the magnetic sails will be demonstrated by an experimental simulator, in which a fast plasma beam will penetrate into a dipole magnetic field. For that purpose, the two important physical processes should be scaled down to a small laboratory experiment in a space chamber. From the scaling considerations, the interaction can be scaled down if high-speed and high-density $(10^{19}m^{-3})$ plasma jet is used with 1-T-class magnetic field.

본 논문에서는 대기 속도 센서가 없는 항공기에서의 강인 필터 기반의 바람 추정 기법을 제안한다. 바람 속도(wind velocity)는 항공기의 유도 및 제어를 더욱 정밀하게 수행하기 위해 사용되는 정보이다. 일반적으로 바람 속도는, 대기 속도와 지면 속도의 차이를 계산하여 얻을 수 있다. 이때 대기 속도는 피토 튜브와 같은 항공기와 대기의 상대 속도를 측정하는 대기 속도 측정 센서에서 얻을 수 있고, 지면 속도는 항법 시스템으로부터 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 항공기의 구성을 간단하게하기 위하여 대기 속도 측정 센서를 장착하지 않는 경우, 바람 속도를 직접적으로 얻을 수 없기 때문에 필터를 이용한 바람 추정 기법이 필수이다. 이때 난류에 의해 항공기의 공력 계수가 변하게 되는데, 이는 바람 추정 필터의 시스템 모델의 불확실성을 유발하게 되고, 결국 바람 추정 성능이 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공력계수 불확실성에 강인함을 확보하기 위해 $H{\infty}$ 필터를 적용한 바람 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 기법이 공력계수의 불확실성이 있는 상황에서 성능을 개선하는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 국내 고층건물 특별피난계단의 부속실에 설치되는 급기가압 제연시스템에서 화재 발생 시 피난을 위하여 출입문이 개방되었을 경우 형성되는 방연풍속의 특성을 FDS를 이용하여 해석하였고, 해석 결과를 분산분석으로 기류의 특성에 따른 측정 방안을 분석하고자 한다. 부속실과 같은 구획공간의 설계 조건에서 급기댐퍼에서 토출되는 보충량은 심한 와류를 형성하고 형성된 와류의 범위 안에 출입문이 존재할 경우 비정상적인 기체의 유동이 출입문지점에 발생한다는 것을 선행연구를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 국가화재안전기준 NFSC 501A에서 방연풍속을 측정할 때에는 출입문의 개방에 따른 개구부를 대칭적으로 균등 분할하는 10 이상의 지점에서 측정하는 풍속의 평균치로 할 것으로 정하고 있으나 이러한 조건에서는 출입구 상부 지점에 기류의 유입 현상을 파악하기 어렵고 풍속의 편차가 심하기 때문에 측정점을 공기조화설비의 시험조정 평가 기술기준에서 제시하는 64점 이상으로 세분화하여 측정하여야 할 것이다.
