This paper presents results of calculations performed according to our own semi-empirical mathematical model of critical vortex excitation. All calculations are carried out using own computer program, which allows the simulation of both the across-wind action caused by vortices and the lateral response of analysed structures. Vortex excitation simulations were performed in real time taking into account wind-structure interaction. Several structures of circular cross-sections were modelled using a FEM program and calculated under the action of critical vortex excitation. Six steel chimneys, six concrete chimneys and two concrete towers were considered. The method of selection and estimation of the experimental parameters describing the model are also presented. Finally, the results concerning maximum lateral top displacements of the structures are compared with available full-scale data for steel and concrete chimneys.

현재 사용되고 있는 전개판의 성능을 보다 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 비행기의 익이론에 기초를 두고, 전개판의 경계층을 흡입하거나 제거하는 방법 중에서 역류역을 제거하는 와발생기의 부착을 전개판에 적용하였다. 성능분석을 위해서 단순만곡형, V-만곡형 그리고 슬롯만곡형 전개판의 3종에 와발생기를 부착하지 않은 경우와 부착한 경우에 대하여 성능 및 유체역학적 특성을 성능실험과 가시화실험을 통하여 비교해 보았다. 실험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. \circled1 단순만곡형전개판에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 최대전개력계수는 10~15% 증가, 항력계수는 2%미만증가, 양항비는 5~20% 증가하였다. \circled2 V-만곡형전개판에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 양항비가 10~20% 증가하였다. \circled3 슬롯만곡형에 와발생기를 부착한 경우 영각 20$^{\circ}$ 이내에서 최대전개력계수는 약 20%이상 증가, 항력계수는 5~20% 증가, 양항비는 약간 높게 나타났으나, 영각 25$^{\circ}$이상에서는 이들 계수의 값들이 기준형에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. \circled4 와발생기를 부착한 전개판에서 박리점이 기준형에 비하여 다소 후연에 나타났다. \circled5 와발생기에 따른 전.후면의 유속차는 단순만곡형의 경우 모든 영각에서 약 10% 증가, V-만곡형의 경우 전반적으로 증가하였으나 영각 25$^{\circ}$에서는 비슷하게, 슬롯만곡형의 경우 영각 25$^{\circ}$까지는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. \circled6 와발생기에 따른 박리역의 크기는 단순만곡형에서 약 5~15% 감소, V-만곡형과 슬롯만곡형은 영각 15$^{\circ}$~20$^{\circ}$에서는 약 10% 감소, 영각 25$^{\circ}$ 이상일 때는 비슷하게 나타났다.

Centrigugal fans are widely used due to their ability to achieve relatively high pressure ratios in a short axial distance compared to axial fans. Because of their widespread use, the noise generated by these machines causes one of serious problems. In general, centrigugal fan noise is often dominated by tones at BPF(blade passage frequency) and its higher harmonics. This is a consequence of the strong interaction between the periodic flow discharged radially from the impeller and the stator blades or the cutoff. But in vacuum cleaner fan the noise is dominated by not only the discrete tones of BPF but also broadband frequencies. In this study we investigate the mechanism of broadband noise and predict for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field associated with the centrifugal fan. DVM(discrete vortex method) is used to calculates the flow field and the Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic pressures. From the results we find that the broadband noise of a circular casing centrifugal fan is due to the unsteady force fluctuation around the impeller blades related to the vortex shedding. The unsteady forces associated with the shed vortices at impeller and related to the interactions to the diffuser and the exit.

The present study compares flow fields reconstructed by data assimilation method with different combinations of parameters. As a data assimilation method, Vortex-in-Cell-sharp (VIC#), which supplements additional constraints and multigrid approximation to Vortex-in-Cell-plus (VIC+), is used to reconstruct flow fields from scattered particle tracks. Two parameters, standard deviation of Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) and grid spacing, are mainly tested using artificial data sets which contain few particle tracks. Consequent flow fields are analyzed in terms of flow structure sizes. It is demonstrated that sizes of the flow structures are proportional to an actual scale of the standard deviation of RBF. It implies that a combination of larger grid spacing and smaller standard deviation which preserves the actual standard deviation is able to save computational resources in case of a low track density. In addition, a simple comparison using an experimental data filled with dense particle tracks is conducted.

In this study, lumped-vortex element method and thin airfoil theory were used to analyze aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils with relative motion that had camber lines of NACA $44{\times}{\times}$ airfoil in 2-dimensional unsteady incompressible potential flow. Velocity disturbance due to airfoil was calculated by lumped-vortex element model and force distribution on airfoil by unsteady Bernoulli's equation. Variables in relative motion were considered the period p, the amplitude of flapping $A_f$ and pitching $A_p$, and the phase difference between flapping and pitching ${\phi}_p$ and the angle of attack ${\alpha}$. Due to movement of an airfoil, dag was induced in 2-dimensional unsteady incompressible potential flow. The numerical results show that the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil with flapping and pitching at the same time are illustrated. Especially the mean lift coefficient became smaller, but drag coefficient became larger.

A method of numerical analysis without conducting 3D wind tunnel model tests was examined in our previous study for predicting vortex-induced oscillation of bridge girders with span-wise varying geometry. The aerodynamic damping forces measured for plural wind tunnel 2D models were used in the analysis. A further study was conducted to examine the precision of solution obtained by this method. First, the responses of vortex-induced oscillation of two rocking models and a taut-strip bridge girder model with span-wise varying geometry were measured. Next, the responses of these models were numerically analyzed by means of this method, and then a comparison was made between the obtained $Vr-A-{\delta}_a$ contour diagram of each 3D model in the wind tunnel test and the diagram in the numerical analysis. Since close correlations were observed between each two $Vr-A-{\delta}_a$diagrams obtained in the model test and in the analysis in cases where the 3D model did not have strong three-dimensionality, our findings revealed that the predicted solution proved to be reasonably accurate.

In this study, hydrodynamic performance of a 400 mm diameter horizontal axis marine current turbine model was tested in a cavitation tunnel with 1.21 m x 0.8 m cross-section for over a range of tip speed ratios. Torque and thrust data, as well as cavitation visualizations, for certain operating conditions were acquired. Experimental results indicated that the turbine can be exposed to significant amount of sheet and cloud cavitation over the blades along with vortex cavitation at the blade tips. Inception and distribution of cavitation along the blades of the model turbine were then modelled numerically for design operating conditions using a vortex lattice method. The method was also applied to a turbine tested previously and obtained results were compared with the data available. The comparison between simulation results and experimental data showed a slight difference in terms of span-wise extent of the cavitation region. The cloud and tip vortex cavity observed in experiments cannot be modelled due to the fact that the VLM lacks the ability to predict such types of cavitation. Notwithstanding, the use of such prediction methods can provide a reasonably accurate approach to estimate, therefore take the hydrodynamic effects of cavitation into account in design and analysis of marine current turbines.

We solve the integral representation of the Navier-Stokes equations in a lagrangian view by tracking the particles, which have vortex strengths. We simulate the unsteady viscous flow around an impulsively started cylinder using the vortex particle method. Particles are advanced via the Biot-Savart law for a lagrangian evolution of particles. The particle strength is modified based on the scheme of particle strength exchange. The solid boundary satisfies the no-slip boundary condition by the vorticity generation algorithm. We newly modify the diffusion scheme and the boundary condition for simulating an unsteady flow efficiently. To save the computation time, we propose the mixed scheme of particle strength exchange and core expansion. We also use a lot of panels to ignore the curvature of the cylinder, and not to solve the evaluation of the surface density. Results are compared to those from other theoretical and experimental works.

Many different types of fan have been applying to various industrial fields. Fan design methods are much different depending on the types of fan, operating conditions, and connecting parts at the inlet or exit of the fan etc. In this study, design methods for an axial-type suction fan are studied. This fan discharges the air in the relative static pressure of -285Pa to the atmosphere with the flow rate of $960m^3/min$. For three-dimensional blade design, three different design methods were applied, such as the free vortex method, the exponential method, and the cascade method. In the cascade method, the blade loading along the radial direction was obtained from the lift coefficient which was necessary to obtain the pressure rise on a fan rotor. This method is different from the free vortex and the exponential method which control the strength of the vortex. The fan performance prediction was conducted using the CFD with three different inlet ducts. The best fan performance was obtained when the fan was designed by using the cascade method. The designed fan using the exponential method showed better performance compared to a fan designed using the free vortex method. However, the fan performance was changed depending on the installed inlet ducts. So, an efficient fan can be designed with the adjustment of design variables on the basis of the flow structures within the fan as well as the fan design procedure.

본 연구는 Weis-Fogh형 수차의 유체역학적 특성을 개선 와법으로 수치계산한 것이다. 날개(NACA0010에어포일)와 양쪽 수로 벽은 소스(Source) 및 볼텍스 판넬로 근사하였고, 자유 볼텍스는 각 물체 전체표면에서 도입하였다. 타임스텝마다 날개를 이동시켜가며 본 수차의 유동장 즉 비정상 속도장과 압력장을 계산하였다. 계산변수로는 주요 설계인자인 날개 뒷전에서 날개 축까지의 거리, 수로 폭 및 최대 열림각으로 하였다. 본 수차의 1매의 날개에 대한 최대 효율 및 출력계수는 속도비 U/V=2.0에서 각각 26% 및 0.4였다. 본 수차의 유동장은 날개가 수로 내에서 비정상적으로 움직이기 때문에 매우 복잡하다. 그러나 개선 와법을 이용하여 명확하게 계산할 수 있었다.
