Aerodynamic characteristics of tandem airfoil under ground effect is investigated numerically. Some numerical results for NACA 6409 tandem airfoil are presented. The numerical results show that as being decreased distance between airfoils, the lift coefficient of leading airfoil is increased and that of trailing airfoil is decreased. Drag coefficient shows opposite property, At the same distance between leading airfoil and trailing airfoil, lower position of trailing airfoil give better tandem airfoil effect.

We grasped the parameter to define the airfoil shape in the wind turbine blade and aircraft, and the important performance characteristic of the airfoil. The airfoil shape function is selected by studying which is suitable for wind turbine blade airfoil development.

The angle of attack is highly sensitive to pitch point in the airfoil shape and the decline of pitch point value induces smaller angle of attack, which implies that airfoil profile possessing closer pitch point to the airfoil tip reacts more sensitively to upcoming wind. The method of conformal transformation functions is employed for airfoil profiles and airfoil surfaces are expressed with a trigonometric series form. Attack angle and ideal lift coefficient distributions are investigated for various airfoil profiles in wind turbine blade regarding conformal transformation and pitch point. The conformed angle function representing the surface angle of airfoil shape generates various attack angle distributions depending on the choice of surface angle function. Moreover, ideal attack angle and ideal lift coefficient are susceptible to the choice of airfoil profiles and uniform loading area. High ideal attack angle signifies high pliability to upcoming wind, and high ideal lift coefficient involves high possibility to generate larger electric energy. According to results obtained pitch point, airfoil shape, uniform loading area, and the conformed airfoil surface angle function are crucial factors in the determination of angle of attack.

TSD 이론으로 구해진 sonic arc 익형의 형상을 새로운 익형 형상으로 수정하고 천음속 유동에서의 공력 성능을 조사하였다.

In this work, numerical experiments ave conducted to find out the optimal shape of flapping-airfoil using thickness variation airfoils. In the previous study of flapping-airfoil, we had found that the thrust efficiency of thicker airfoil is better than thinner one, but the latter has higher thrust coefficient. Therefore, we have combined thin(NACA0009) and thick(NACA0015)airfoil to overcome these demerits of each airfoil. Using this combined airfoil, we can achieve acceptable aerodynamic performances from thrust efficiency and coefficient points of view. In order to computational study, we have used parallel-implemented incompressible Wavier-Stokes solver. Computational results show how to design leading and trailing edge shapes.

Present paper deals with turbulence-airfoil interaction noise and mainly investigates the effects of airfoil thickness on the broadband noise spectrum. The acoustic power radiation from an airfoil is predicted using high-order time-domain method, which is based on the computational aeroacoustic technique solving the linear Euler equations. The homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is generated by utilizing the synthetic turbulence modeling based on random particle method. The airfoils taken into consideration are a flat-plate and a NACA0012 airfoil aligned with uniform mean flow. The effects of airfoil thickness on the radiated inflow turbulence noise are investigated by comparing acoustic power spectrum predicted for each airfoil. The comparison of acoustic power spectrum reveals that the airfoil thickness significantly contributes the high frequency noise reduction.

본 논문에서는 층류 및 난류 유동 특성 중 경계층 두께와 배제 두께, 그리고 모멘텀 두께에 대한 기존의 이론값과 실제 CFD 해석을 통한 수치해석의 데이터를 비교하였다. Freestream velocity는 Reynolds 수에 영향을 주게 되고, airfoil 주변에서의 유동의 층류 및 난류에 영향을 주게 된다. 층류 및 난류의 경우 유동특성이 달라 경계층 두께 및 배제두께, 그리고 모멘텀 두께가 달라지게 되고, 결국 airfoil의 공력특성인 양력과 항력, 그리고 pitching moment에 영향을 주며, separation point도 다양한 angle of attack에서 바뀌게 된다. 이번 연구에서의 목적은 비점성 유동과, 층류 및 난류 각 경우에 대한 유동특성에 대해 알아보는 것이다. 연구에서 사용된 airfoil의 경우 c=1인 Joukowski airfoil을 사용하였으며, CFD는 상용 프로그램인 Fluent 6.0을 통해 NACA-0012 airfoil을 사용하였다. 층류 및 난류에서의 $Re_c$는 $Re_c$=3,000, 700,000이며 각각에 해당하는 속도는 0.045, 10 m/s이다. 본 연구를 통해 기존의 실험값과 수치해석의 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있으며, 이를 통해 다양한 airfoil의 형상을 모델링할 수 있는 근거를 마련하였다.

The objective of this study is to provide the quantitative and qualitative computational data about the aerodynamic performance of Gurney flap on NACA 00XX airfoils and to show the optimum Gurney flap height for each airfoil. The test was performed on 7 different airfoils from NACA 0006 to NACA0024, which have a 3% chord(=c) thickness interval. For every NACA 00XX airfoil, Gurney flap heights were changed by 0.5% or 0.25% chord interval from 0 to 2.0%c to study their effects. The aerodynamic characteristics of clean and Gurney flap airfoil were compared, and the influences of Gurney flap on each airfoil were compared. As a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) solver, FLUENT, based on Navier-Stokes code, was used to calculate the flow field around the airfoil. The fully-turbulent results were obtained using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ two-equation turbulence model. The test results showed that Gurney flap increased the lift coefficient much more than the drag coefficient over a certain range of the lift coefficient, so the lift-to-drag ratio, which is the important index of airfoil performance, was increased. Based on the test results, the relationship between the airfoil thickness and the optimum Gurney flap heights was suggested.

Once the condensation of water vapor in moist air around a thin airfoil occurs, liquid droplets nucleate. The condensation process releases heat to the surrounding gaseous components of moist air and significantly affects their thermodynamic and flow properties. As a results, variations in the aerodynamic performance of airfoils can be found. In the present work, the effects of upstream Mach number and thickness ratio of airfoil on the transonic flow of moist air around a thin airfoil are investigated by numerical analysis. The results shows that a significant condensation occurs as the upstream Mach number is increased at the fixed thickness ratio of airfoil($\epsilon$=0.12) and as the thickness ratio of airfoil is increased at the fixed upstream Mach number($M_{\infty}$=0.80). The condensate mass fraction is also increased and dispersed widely around an airfoil as the upstream Mach number and thickness ratio of airfoil are increased. The position of shock wave for moist air flow move toward the leading edge of airfoil when it is compared with the position of shock wave for dry air.
