The transgender is who has persistent discomfort with his of her sex or sense of inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex. Many transgenders have been undergone trans-sex operations after 1980's. But there were not so much experience of voice surgery for transgenders. Vocal pitch can be elevated by various surgical techniques. Type IV thryoplasty, which one of the cricothyroid approximation methods, increases tension to the vocal folds, thus increasing fundamental frequency and upper pitch range. We treated a transgender (MTF, Male to female) using this technique. Acoustic and aerodynamic measures were obtained both pre- and post-operatively. Clinically significant improvement was achieved in both study; increasing of vocal pitch, widening of pitch range, and improvement of vocal efficiency.

본 논문에서는 EDISON_전산열유체 시스템을 활용하여 군집주행 형태 변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율 변화를 분석하였다. 해석 대상은 자동차 형상을 단순화한 모델인 아흐메드 형상(Ahmed body)을 이용하였다. 동종차량 간 거리변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율의 변화, 이종차량의 배열순서변화에 따른 항력계수 및 연료효율을 분석하며 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 4대의 동종차량 군집주행시 항력계수를 최대 69% 감소할 수 있으며 이에 따라 km 당 0.073L의 연료를 절감할 수 있다.

The Grid is a communication service that collaborates dispersed highperformance computers so that those can be shared and worked together. It enablesthe analysis of large-scale problem with the reduction of computation time bycollaborating high performance computing resources in dispersed organizations. Thus,the present paper focuses on the efficient flow calculation using the Grid. To increaseparallel efficiency, a simple load balance algorithm for the Grid computing is proposedand applied to various aerodynamic problems.

Bio-Aerosol Concentrator Inlets were made to collect particles of which size was $2\mu\textrm{m}$ as aerodynamic diameter or larger. The Concentrator Inlets were designed by using virtual impactors, because the virtual impactors are known for high efficiency. In a virtual impactor, the intake air is typically divided into two streams with the major and the minor flow. In this work, several types of the acceleration nozzles and collection probes were designed. Subsequently, the results were evaluated experimentally. It was found that if controled properly, the velocity can improve substantially the aerosol concentration performance. The diameter of acceleration nozzle and type of collection probe were varied to obtain the optimum design. Subsequently, the different designs were compared respectively and the best design among them was identified. It is expected that this new finding can help improve design of future Aerosol Concentrator for high concentration rate.

조정은 작은 속도차이가 경기에 큰 영향을 미치는 스포츠이다. 이에 따라 노 주변 유통에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되어왔지만 정작 노 블레이드를 어떠한 형상으로 설계해야 어떤 영향에 의해 노의 성능이 향상되는지에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 4-digit NACA 익형 캠버 식을 이용하여 최대 캠버와 최대 캠버 위치를 변화시켜가며 노의 추진력과 효율을 모두 높이는 노 블레이드 형상을 찾아보았다. 연구 결과 최대 캠버의 크기가 크고 최대 캠버의 위치가 블레이드 압전에 가까이 위치할수록 노의 추진력과 효율이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 실험 범위에서는 최대 캠버와 최대 캠버의 위치가 각각 시위길이의 4%, 20%인 노 블레이드의 경우 블레이드가 평판인 경우보다 배의 평균속도를 0.18m/s 향상시켰으며, 이는 실제 경기에서 57.2m의 거리 차와 약 13초의 기록차이를 가져온다.

This paper introduces the part of efforts to develop a derivative type turboshaft engine from an existing baseline engine for multi-purpose helicopters aiming at 4000 kg of take-off weight for 10-12 passengers. As a first step in meeting the development goal of increasing the output power from 720 hp to 840hp with minimum modification, a two stage axial compressor was redesigned to obtain the higher pressure ratio by removing the inlet guide vane and increasing the chord length. As a result, a two stage axial compressor was designed to facilitate a flow rate of 3.04 kg/s, a pressure ratio of 2.01 and an adiabatic efficiency of $85\%$. Its performance tests were carried out and verification of test results and redesign are under progress. Aerodynamic and structural analyses of the preliminary design are mainly described in this paper.

With the aim to increase blade loadings and stable operating range in highly loaded compressors, this article has been conducted to explore, through a numerical parametric study, the potential of passive control using slotted bladings in cascade configurations. The objective of this numerical investigation is to analyze the influence of location, width and slope of the slots and therefore identify the optimal configuration. The approach is based on two dimensional cascade geometry, low speed regime, steady state and turbulent RANS model. The results show the efficiency of this passive technique to delay separation and enhance aerodynamic performances of the compressor cascade. A maximum of 28.3% reduction in loss coefficient have been reached, the flow turning is increased with approximately $5^0$ and high loading over a wide range of angle of attack have been obtained for the optimized control parameter.

The aerodynamic performance of airplane is different according to the configuration of landing gear. As the drag becomes different according to this configuration, the flow stream of air must be smooth at taking off and landing. In this study, the configuration of landing gear was designed each in order to enhance the energy efficiency of airplane. Five models were compared in total at analysis. The magnitudes of drag and pressure became different and the air pressure of wake were changed due to the configuration. So, the air pressure due to the flow velocity and the air resistance happening at the rear can be estimated according to the configuration of landing gear. It is thought to improve the performance of airplane through the result of this study.

A synthesis of fuzzy variable structure control is proposed to design a high-angle-of-attack flight system for a modification version of the F-18 aircraft. The knowledge of the proportional, integral, and derivative control is combined into the fuzzy control that addresses both the highly nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics of elevators and the control limit of thrust vectoring nozzles. A simple gain scheduling method with multi-layered fuzzy rules is adopted to obtain an appropriate blend of elevator and thrust vectoring commands in the wide operating range. Improving the computational efficiency, an accelerated kernel for on-line fuzzy reasoning is also proposed. The resulting control system achieves the good flying quantities during a high-angle-of- attack excursion. Thus the fuzzy logic can afford the control engineer a flexible means of deriving effective control laws in the nonlinear flight regime.

Upgrade development of a high pressure ratio centrifugal compressor in marine engine turbochargers is presented. A new matched operating point at increased speed of rotation was determined through system cycle analysis using the exisitng test data of turbine performance. Under some severe restrictions for geometric parameters, the state-of-the-art methods of both aerodynamic design and CFD analysis were applied, in which only an impeller, a vaned diffuser and some part of casing wall were modified. Prototype hardware was fabricated and assembled for system performance tests. Excellent performance in pressure ratio and efficiency was obtained over whole speed region. Reduced surge and choke margin was, however, observed at design speed of rotation.
