The flow fields around the HARTII rotor were numerically investigated using a viscous flow solver on adaptive unstructured meshes. An overset mesh and a deforming mesh technique were used to handle the blade motion including blade deflection, which was obtain from the HARTII experimental data. A solution-adaptive mesh refinement technique was also used to capture the rotor wake effectively. Comparison of the sectional normal force and pitching moment at 87% radial station between the two cases, with and without the blade deflection, showed that the blade loading is significantly affected by blade torsion. It was found that as the mesh was refined, the strength of tip vortex is better preserved, and the magnitude of high frequency blade loading, caused by blade-vortex interaction (BVI), is further magnified. It was also found that a proper time step size, which corresponds to the cell size, should be used to predict unsteady solutions accurately. In general, the numerical results in terms of the unsteady blade loading and the rotor wake show good agreement with the experimental data.

수직이착륙기(VTOL) 및 도심 항공 모빌리티와 같은 멀티로터형 비행체는 높은 기동성을 바탕으로 오늘날 널리 활용되고 있다. 멀티로터는 다수의 로터로 구성되어 후류 상호작용이 활발히 발생하고, 이로 인해 멀티로터의 공기역학 및 공력음향학적 특성이 단일 로터와 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 자유 후류 격자 기법 해석자를 활용하여 멀티로터의 후류 상호작용 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 다양한 비행체와 운용조건의 비교를 위하여, 제자리 비행에서 로터 간격에 따른 효과와 전진 비행에서 전진비 및 전진 방향에 따른 효과를 확인하였다. 제자리 비행 시 후류 및 로터 사이의 상호작용으로 비정상 하중이 발생하였으며, 로터 사이 간격이 줄어들수록 하중 변화폭이 증가하였다. 이는 비정상 하중 소음을 발생시키고 소음 지향성에 변화를 가져온다. 전진 비행 시, 비행 방향에 따라서 비정상 하중 및 소음 특성에서 차이를 보인다. 단일 로터 해석 결과와 비교하였을 때, 멀티로터의 각각의 로터는 상대적 위치에 따라서 하중 소음의 크기와 지향성이 다르다. 결론적으로 후류 상호작용 효과에 대한 분석은 다양한 멀티로터 형상과 운용조건의 공력 및 공력소음 해석에 필수적이다.

In this paper, a computational study was conducted in order to investigate the rotor blade sweep effect on the aerodynamics of a small axial supersonic impulse turbine stage. For this purpose, three-dimensional unsteady RANS simulations have been performed with three different rotor blade sweep angles ($-15^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, $+15^{\circ}$) and the results were compared with each other. Both NTG (No tip gap) and WTG (With tip gap) models were applied to examine the effect on tip leakage flow. As a result of the simulation, the positive sweep model ($+15^{\circ}$) showed better performance in relative flow angle, Mach number distribution, entropy rise, and tip leakage mass flow rate compared with no sweep model. With the blade static pressure distribution result, the positive sweep model showed that hub and tip loading was increased and midspan loading was reduced compared with no sweep model while the negative sweep model ($-15^{\circ}$) showed the opposite result. The positive sweep model also showed a good aerodynamic performance around the hub region compared with other models. Overall, the positive sweep angle enhanced the turbine efficiency.

Noises from the large scale marine propeller are calculated numerically on non-cavitation condition. The hydrodynamic analysis are carried out by potential based panel method with time marching free wake approach. The distribution of hyrodynamic loads on the propeller surface and noise signals are obtained using the unsteady Bernoulli's equation and the Farasssat formula respectively. It turns out that the noise signal shows strong peak at the blade passage frequency. Noise signals and directivity patterns for both the thickness and the loading noise are compared with each other. The directivity pattern for the loading noise shows minor lobe at the backward side of the rotating disc plane.

In this study, we evaluated the CH4 and CO conversion efficiencies over the oxidation catalysts for natural gas vehicle with lean-burn system. On the fresh catalyst, the conversion efficiency was increased when the loading of precious metal was increased. On the aged catalyst, the conversion efficiency was decreased as increasing the excess air ratio. We could confirm the measuring conversion efficiency of the unsteady state with the FTIR and that of steady state with the GC The temperature increasing ratio of unsteady state is acceptable from 3$^{\circ}C$/min. to 15$^{\circ}C$/min. for the evaluation of catalyst conversion performance , which has within the 4$\%$ of the difference of conversion efficiency. We observed a physical behavior of the thermal aged catalyst's surface using TEM and BET device. It was found that the precious metal was grown to the micro-scopic size by thermal aging process.

The unsteady transitional boundary layer due to rotor-stator interaction was studied at two operation points, the design and one off design points. The off design point leads to lower blade loading and lower Reynolds number. A Navier-Stokes code developed in the previous study was parallelized to expedite computations. A low Reynolds number turbulence model was used to close the momentum equations. All computations show good agreement with experimental data. The wake induced transitional strip on the suction side of the stator is clearly captured at design point operation. There is no noticeable change in shape and phase angle of the wake induced strip even in the laminar sublayer. The wake induced transitional strip at off design point shows more complex structure. The wake induced transitional strip is observed only in the turbulent layer, and becomes obscure in the laminar sublayer and buffer layer. This behavior is probably consequent upon that the transition is governed by both wake induced strip and natural transition mechanism by Tollmien-Schlichting wave.

본 연구에서는 현재 일반 프로펠러 항공기에 사용 중인 둥근 팁 형상을 갖는 Hartzell 사 제작 프로펠러에 대해서 두께소음과 하중소음에 대한 예측을 시도하였다. 음향장 해석에 앞서서 프로펠러 표면상에 존재하는 압력분포는 자유후류 패널 방법과 비정상 베르누이 방정식을 이용하여 구하였다. 음향장 해석을 위해서는 FW-H의 음향상사 법칙을 적용하였다. 주어진 프로펠러 형상과 운전 조건에 대한 소음 예측으로부터 두께소음은 프로펠러 회전면을 기준으로 전방과 후방이 서로 비슷한 면대칭 분포를 갖는 반면에, 하중소음은 프로펠러 후방의 소음이 전방에 비해서 더 크게 나오는 결과를 보여주었다. 일반적인 운전조건에서는 전반적으로 하중소음이 두께소음보다 지배적인 결과를 보여주었다.

A discrete vortex method (DVM) has been developed at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, University of Glasgow, to predict unsteady, incompressible, separated flows around closed bodies. The basis of the method is the discretisation of the vorticity field, rather than the velocity field, into a series of vortex particles that are free to move in the flow. This paper gives a brief description of the method and presents the results of calculations on static and transversely oscillating square section cylinders. The results demonstrate that the method successfully predicts the character of the flow field at different angles of incidence for the static case. Vortex lock-in around the resonance point is successfully captured in the oscillatory cases. It is concluded that the vortex method results show good agreement, both qualitatively and quantitatively, with results from various experimental data.

The 2-dimensional unsteady flows on and around the cambered airfoils were computed by applying LES with the deductive dynamic SGS model. The unsteady flow field were used as inputs to compute the far-field sounds and directivity patterns from rotating blades by a hybrid approach that exploits Farassat's formula. The BEM (Boundary Element Method) was applied to predict the frequency characteristics from the rotating blades for the cases of even- and uneven-pitched fans. The BEM results suggested that the unevenly pitched fan have less pronounced discrete peaks at BEF frequencies, which was confirmed by the experiment.

The paper studies the effect of neighboring blade rows on flutter characteristics of cascading blades. For this purpose the computation program to calculate the unsteady blade loading based on the un-steady lifting surface theory for contra-rotating annular cascades was formulated and coded. Then a computation program to solve the coupled bending-torsion flutter equation for the contra-rotating annular cascades was also developed. Some results of the flutter analysis are presented. The presence of the neighboring blade row gives rise to significant change in the critical flutter condition when the main acoustic duct mode is of cut-on state.
