Design optimization of a transonic compressor rotor(NASA rotor 37) was carried out using response surface method(RSM) which is one of the optimization methods. A numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS CFX by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) equations. Response surfaces that were based on the results of the design of experiment(DOE) techniques were used to find an optimal shape of blade which has the maximum aerodynamic performance. Two objective functions, viz., the adiabatic efficiency and the loss coefficient were selected with three design configurations to optimize the blade shape. As a result, the efficiency of the optimized blade is found to be increased.

소형 가스터빈 엔진에 장착 가능한 저압단 축류 압축기의 공력성능 및 구조적 안정성을 동시에 고려한 최적화 설계를 수행하였다. 근사모델을 구축하여 유전알고리즘을 이용하여 전역 최적화 해를 도출하였다. 최적 설계된 압축기의 동익단은 Hub쪽에서 날개의 부하가 커지되, Tip쪽에서 입사각이 0에 가깝게 설계되었다. 한편 동익의 형상은 허브쪽에서 사다리꼴 모양으로 수렴이 되어 구조적 안정성을 확보하도록 설계가 되었다. 최종적인 수치해석 결과 작동점에서 동익단의 효율은 87.6%이며 구조적 안정성을 나타내는 안전계수는 3이상을 확보하였다.

Since the previous cut-and-try design algorithm requires much cost and time, the automated design technique with the CFD and optimum design algorithm has recently been concerned. In this work, the Navier-Stokes equation was solved to gain more detailed viscous flow information of cascade with rotor-stator interactions. The H-grid embedded by O-grid was generated to obtain more accurate solution by eliminating the branch cut of H-grid near airfoil surface. To handle the relative motion of the rotor to the stationary stator, the sliding multiblock method was applied and the cubic-spline interpolation was used on the block interface boundary. To validate present procedure, the time-averaged aerodynamic loads were compared with experimeatal data. A good agreement was obtained. The Modified Method of Feasible Direction (MMFD) was used to carry out the sensitivity analysis of the change of aerodynamic performance by the changes of the cascade geometry. The present optimization of the cascade gave a dramatic reduction of the drag while the lift maintains at the value within the user-specified tolerance.

The low speed aerodynamic characteristics for a modified sonic arc airfoil which is designed by using the nose shape function of sonic arc, the shape function of NACA four-digit wing sections, and Maple are experimentally investigated. The small rotor blades of a modified sonic arc and NACA0012 airfoil are precisely fabricated with a commercially available light aluminum(Al 6061-T6) and are spin tested over a low speed range (3000rpm-5000rpm). In a consuming power comparison, the consuming powers of NACA0012 are higher than that of modified sonic arcs at each pitch angle. The measured rotor thrust for each pitch angle is used to estimate the rotor thrust coefficient according to momentum theory in the hover state. The value of thrust coefficients for both two airfoils at each pitch angle show almost constant values over the low Mach number range. However, the rotor thrust coefficient of NACA0012 is higher than that of the modified sonic arc at each pitch angle. In conclusion, the aerodynamic performance of NACA0012 is better than that of modified sonic arcs in the low speed regime. This test model will provide a convenient platform for improving the aerodynamic performance of small scale airfoils and for performing design optimization studies.

Airframe internal and external specifications are the product of intensive intellectual efforts and technological breakthroughs distinguishing each aircraft manufacturer. Therefore, geometrical information characterizing aircraft primary aerodynamic surfaces remain classified. When attempting to model real aircraft, many members of the aeronautical community depend on their personal expertise and generic design principles to bypass the confidentiality obstacles and sketch real aircraft airfoils, which therefore vary for the same aircraft due to the different designers' initial assumptions. This paper presents a photogrammetric shape prediction method for deriving geometrical properties of real aircraft airframe by utilizing their publicly accessible static and dynamic visual content. The method is based on extracting the visually distinguishable curves at the fairing regions between aerodynamic surfaces and fuselage. Two case studies on B-29 and B-737 are presented showing how to approximate the sectional coordinates of their wing inboard airfoils and proving the good agreement between the geometrical and aerodynamic properties of the replicated airfoils to their original versions. Therefore, the paper provides a systematic reverse engineering approach that will enhance aircraft conceptual design and flight performance optimization studies.

세로 정안정성이 우수한 지면효과익기 익형을 최적설계하였다. NURBS 형상함수를 사용하여 형상을 설계하고 Navier-Stokes 해석을 통해 공력특성을 해석하였으며, 반응표면법을 사용하여 최적화하였다. 수치계산 효율성을 증대하고 상용 설계/해석 코드 기반의 자동화된 최적화를 위하여 네트워크 분산환경을 구현한 설계최적화 프레임워크를 사용하였다. 양력 최대화 설계 결과로서 기존의 DHMTU 익형과 유사한 안정성 특성을 가지며 양력특성이 개선된 익형을 얻었으며, 강화된 전방하중 특성과 후방의 반전된 캠버선이 특징적으로 나타났다. 이수 중의 피칭모멘트 변화폭이 감소된 익형도 설계하였으며, 전방하중 경향이 약화되고 양력도 약간 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 포텐셜 유동에 기반한 설계최적화 결과와 비교함으로써 실용적이며 실제로 구현 가능한 공력특성의 개선을 위해서는 반드시 점성을 고려해서 설계를 해야하며 다양한 익형을 생성시킬 수 있는 형상설계 기능의 중요성을 확인하였다.

A new design approach of complex geometries such as wing/body configuration is arranged by using overset mesh techniques under large scale computing environment. For an in-depth study of the flow physics and highly accurate design, several special overlapped structured blocks such as collar grid, tip-cap grid, and etc. which are commonly used in refined drag prediction are adopted to consider the applicability of the present design tools to practical problems. Various pre- and post-processing techniques for overset flow analysis and sensitivity analysis are devised or implemented to resolve overset mesh techniques into the design optimization problem based on Gradient Based Optimization Method (GBOM). In the pre-processing, the convergence characteristics of the flow solver and sensitivity analysis are improved by overlap optimization method. Moreover, a new post-processing method, Spline-Boundary Intersecting Grid (S-BIG) scheme, is proposed by considering the ratio of cell area for more refined prediction of aerodynamic coefficients and efficient evaluation of their sensitivities under parallel computing environment. With respect to the sensitivity analysis, discrete adjoint formulations for overset boundary conditions are derived by a full hand-differentiation. A smooth geometric modification on the overlapped surface boundaries and evaluation of grid sensitivities can be performed by mapping from planform coordinate to the surface meshes with Hicks-Henne function. Careful design works for the drag minimization problems of a transonic wing and a wing/body configuration are performed by using the newly-developed and -applied overset mesh techniques. The results from design applications demonstrate the capability of the present design approach successfully.

The aerodynamic loads at the blade hub and the drive shaft for 1MW horizontal axis wind turbine are calculated numerically. The geometric shape of the blade such as chord length and twist angle can be obtained fran the aerodynamic optimization procedure. Various airfoil data, that is thick airfoils at hub side and thin airfoils at tip side, are distributed along the spanwise direction of the rotor blade. Under the wind data fulfilling design load cases based on the IEC61400-1, all of the shear forces, bending moments at the hub and the low speed shaft of the drive train are obtained by using the FAST code. It shows that shear forces and bending moments have a periodic. trend. These oscillating aerodynamic loads will lead to the fatigue problem at both of the hub and drive train From the load analysis the maximum shear forces and bending moments are generated when wind turbine generator system operates in the case of the extreme speed wind condition.

본 연구에서는 고고도 장기 체공 항공기 날개의 스팬과 주날개보의 형상을 설계변수로 동시에 고려하는 공력-구조 동시 설계를 수행하였다. 이 때 공기역학적 성능 최대화와 중량 최소화를 한 번에 수행하기 위해 다목적 최적화를 이용하였다. 설계 대상이 된 날개는 구조적 대변형이 발생되므로 전산유체역학과 유한요소법을 이용하여 비선형 정적 공탄성 해석을 수행하였다. 설계를 위한 해석에 요구되는 계산 비용을 감소시키기 위해 반응면을 구성하였으며 이를 위해 실험계획법이 이용되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 대변형이 발생되지 않은 형상과 대변형이 발생한 형상의 공력 성능을 비교하여 대변형이 발생하는 경우 설계를 위해 반드시 변형이 고려되어야 함을 검증하였다.
