This paper presents numerical results of the performance of a marin propeller in cavitating and non-cavitating flow conditions. The geometry and experimental validation data of the propeller are provided in Potsdam Propeller Test Case(PPTC) in the framework of the second International Symposium on Marine Propulsors 2011(SMP'11) workshop. The PPTC includes open water tests, velocity field measurements and cavitation tests. The present numerical analysis was carried out by using the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) method on a wall-resolved grid ensuring a y+=1, where the SST k-${\omega}$ model was mainly used for turbulence closure. The influence of the turbulence model was investigated in the prediction of the wake field under a non-cavitating flow condition. The propeller tip vortex flows in both cavitating and non-cavitating conditions were captured through adaptation of additional grids. For the cavitation flows at three operation points, Schnerr-Sauer's cavitation model was used with a Volume-Of Fluid(VOF) approach to capture the two-phase flows. The present numerical results for the propeller wake and cavitation predictions including the open water performance showed a qualitatively reasonable agreement with the model test results.

본 연구에서는 UH-1H 헬리콥터의 축소 로터에 대한 두께소음과 하중소음, 그리고 와류흘림에 의한 광역소음을 각각 수치계산을 통해 얻어내고, 그 크기를 비교하였다. 로터의 후류형상은 Kocurek과 Tangler의 지정후류 방법을 사용하였으며, 팁 마하수 $M_{T}$의 범위는 0.2, 0.4, 0.8로 나누어서 유동장 계산과 그에 따른 소음해석을 시도하였다. 팁 마흐 수 $M_{T}$ = 0.8에서 와류 흘림에 의한 광역 소음은 가청주파수 대역 및 A-가중함수를 고려하였을 때에 상대적으로 저주파수 특성을 갖는 두께소음이나 하중소음에 비해 작은 값을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 광역소음은 가청주파수를 벗어난 초음파 영역에서 대부분의 음압을 방사하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 $M_{T}$를 0.4 이하로 하였을 때에는 광역소음이 저주파수 영역으로 이동하면서 이산소음에 비해 더 소음레벨을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 저속 회전하는 헬리콥터 로터의 경우에는 광역소음의 고려가 필수적임을 알 수 있다.

This work experimentally and numerically analyzes the flow configurations and the dynamic wind loads on panels of rectangular L/h 5:1 cross section mounted on a structural frame of rectangular bars of L/h 0.5:1, corresponding to a radar structure. The fluid dynamic interaction between panels and frame wakes imposes dynamic loads on the panels, with particular frequencies and Strouhal numbers, different from those of isolated elements. The numerical scheme is validated by comparison with mean forces and velocity spectra of a panel wake obtained by wind tunnel tests. The flow configuration is analyzed through images of the numerical simulations. For a large number of panels, as in the radar array, their wakes couple in either phase or counter-phase configurations, changing the resultant forces on each panel. Instantaneous normal and tangential force coefficients are reported; their spectra show two distinct peaks, caused by the interaction of the wakes. Finally, a scaled model of a rectangular structure comprised of panels and frame elements is tested in the boundary layer wind tunnel in order to determine the influence of the velocity variation with height and the three-dimensionality of the bulk flow around the structure. Results show that the unsteady aerodynamic loads, being strongly influenced by the vortex shedding of the supporting elements and by the global 3-D geometry of the array, differ considerably on a panel in this array from loads acting on an isolated panel, not only in magnitude, but also in frequency.

A reliable steady/transient hydro-elastic analysis is developed for flexible (composite) marine propeller blade design which deforms according to its environmental load (ship speed, revolution speed, wake distribution, etc.) Hydro-elastic analysis based on CFD and FEM has been widely used in the engineering field because of its accurate results however it takes large computation time to apply early propeller design stage. Therefore the analysis based on a boundary element method-Finite Element Method (BEM-FEM) Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is introduced for computational efficiency and accuracy. The steady FSI analysis, and its application to reverse engineering, is designed for use regarding optimum geometry and ply stack design. A time domain two-way coupled transient FSI analysis is developed by considering the hydrodynamic damping ffects of added mass due to fluid around the propeller blade. The analysis makes possible to evaluate blade strength and also enable to do risk assessment by estimating the change in performance and the deformation depending on blade position in the ship's wake. To validate this hydro-elastic analysis methodology, published model test results of P5479 and P5475 are applied to verify the steady and the transient FSI analysis, respectively. As the results, the proposed steady and unsteady analysis methodology gives sufficient accuracy to apply flexible marine propeller design.

SAR에서 마이크로파의 진행방향으로의 속도성분을 가지고 움직이는 물체는 영상에서 azimuth 방향으로 이동된 위치에 상이 맺힌다는 현상은 이미 잘 알려져 있다. 대부분의 속도측정 알고리즘들은 실제 물체의 위치와 상이 맺힌 위치 사이의 거리를 측정함으로써 속도를 유추하였다. 그러나 움직이는 물체의 실제의 위치를 나타내는 지시자인 도로나 배의 물결모양은 일반적으로 SAR 영상에서의 식별도가 높지 않기 때문에 이러한 방법은 영상취득시의 조건이나 물체의 움직임 정도에 따라 적용이 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SAR 원시자료 처리단계의 중간 산물인 range-compressed 영상의 azimuth 차분신호로부터 물체의 속도를 측정하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 움직이는 물체에 의한 도플러 중심주파수의 변이가 azimuth 차분신호에서의 위상변화를 일으킨다는 점에 기초한다. 일반적으로 SAR에서 감지하는 지표물의 위상은 SAR의 기하에 의하여 발생하는 도플러 변화율에 따라서 선형적으로 변한다. 이 선형변화위상과 몇 가지 상수 값을 갖는 위상들을 제거하고 남은 신호는 물체의 움직임과 직접적인 관련이 있으므로, 이로부터 속도를 구해낼 수 있다. 이 방법을 실제 ENVISAT ASAR영상을 이용하여 배의 속도를 구하는 데에 적용해 보았으며, 그 결과는 목표물의 위치에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 해상에 단독적으로 존재하는 배에 적용하였을 때는 0.1m/s 정도의 차이로 기존의 속도측정 알고리즘의 결과와 잘 일치하였으나, 육지에 인접한 연안의 배는 신호의 교란에 의해서 1m/s 이상의 오차를 보였다.

This paper presents an extensive analysis of unsteady wind loading data on a 18 m long and 2 m high wall in a rural environment, with the wind at a range of angles to the wall normal. The data is firstly analyzed using standard statistical techniques (moments of probability distributions, auto- and cross-correlations, auto- and cross-spectra etc.). The analysis is taken further using a variety of less conventional methods - conditional sampling, proper orthogonal decomposition and wavelet analysis. It is shown that, even though the geometry is simple, the nature of the unsteady flow is surprisingly complex. The fluctuating pressures on the front face of the wall are to a great extent caused by the turbulent fluctuations in the upstream flow, and reflect the oncoming flow structures. The results further suggest that there are distinct structures in the oncoming flow with a variety of scales, and that the second order quasi-steady approach can predict the pressure fluctuations quite well. The fluctuating pressures on the rear face are also influenced by the fluctuations in the oncoming turbulence, but also by unsteady fluctuations due to wake unsteadiness. These fluctuations have a greater temporal and spatial coherence than on the front face and the quasi-steady method over-predicts the extent of these fluctuations. Finally the results are used to check some assumptions made in the current UK wind loading code of practice.

A three-dimensional flow simulation was performed to investigate the wind flow around wind-power generation facilities on mountainous area of complex terrain. A digital map of eastern mountainous area of Korea including a wind farm was used to model actual complex terrain. Rotating wind turbines in the wind farm were also modeled in the computational domain with detailed geometry of blade by using the frozen rotor method. Wind direction and speed to be used as a boundary condition were taken from local meteorological reports. The numerical results showed not only details of flow distribution in the wind farm but also the variation in the performance of the wind turbines due to the installed location of the turbines on complex terrain. The wake effect of the upstream turbine on the performance of the downstream one was also examined. The methodology presented in this study may be used in selecting future wind farm site and wind turbine locations in the selected site for possible maximum power generation.

Simulations of cavitation flow and hull pressure fluctuation for a marine propeller operating behind a hull using the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS) are presented. A full hull body submerged under the free surface is modeled in the computational domain to simulate directly the wake field of the ship at the propeller plane. Simulations are performed in design and ballast draught conditions to study the effect of cavitation number. And two propellers with slightly different geometry are simulated to validate the detectability of the numerical simulation. All simulations are performed using a commercial CFD software FLUENT. Cavitation patterns of the simulations show good agreement with the experimental results carried out in Samsung CAvitation Tunnel (SCAT). The simulation results for the hull pressure fluctuation induced by a propeller are also compared with the experimental results showing good agreement in the tendency and amplitude, especially, for the first blade frequency.

Axial fans are widely used for automotive engine cooling device due to their ability to produce high flow rate to keep engine cool. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. Especially, engine cooling fan noise in idle condition of a car is noticeable. Therefore. the high efficient and low-noise fan is seriously needed. When a new fan system is designed, system resistance and non-uniform inflow are the key factors to get the high performance and low noise fan system. In this study, aerodynamic and acoustic calculations are carried out on the automotive cooling fan and system. Effects of various design parameters are studied through the free wake analysis and experiments. Better performance and noise characteristic are obtained for the new design fan using the methodology. Furthermore through the modification of the fan system geometry parameters, the fan system produce more flow rate and become less noisy.

Three different geometry shapes of the blade leading edge in a centrifugal compressor were investigated in this paper. Numerical simulation was done to analyze the effect of the leading edge shape on the performance of the centrifugal compressor. The result shows that compared to the blunt leading edge, the circular leading edge will raise the chocking mass flow. The pressure ratio and efficiency will increase obviously. Using elliptical leading edge will get a further improvement on the performance than circular leading edge. The analysis of the flow field shows that the leading edge often causes flow separation near the inlet; using circular leading edge and elliptical leading edge will reduce the separation. What's more, using circular and elliptical leading edge will also reduce the wake loss near the outlet of the impeller. In a centrifugal compressor, using circular or elliptical leading edge on the splitter will improve the pressure loading distribution of main blade near the position of the splitter leading, which will increase the pressure ratio.
