In this paper, the fluctuating lift and drag forces on 5:1 rectangular cylinders with two different geometric scales in three turbulent flow-fields are investigated. The study is particularly focused on understanding the influence of the ratio of turbulence integral length scale to structure characteristic dimension (the length scale ratio). The results show that both fluctuating lift and drag forces are influenced by the length scale ratio. For the model with the larger length scale ratio, the corresponding fluctuating force coefficient is larger, while the spanwise correlation is weaker. However, the degree of influence of the length scale ratio on the two fluctuating forces are different. Compared to the fluctuating drag, the fluctuating lift is more sensitive to the variation of the length scale ratio. It is also found through spectral analysis that for the fluctuating lift, the change of length scale ratio mainly leads to the variation in the low frequency part of the loading, while the fluctuating drag generally follows the quasi-steady theory in the low frequency, and the slope of the drag spectrum at high frequencies changes with the length scale ratio. Then based on the experimental data, two empirical formulas considering the influence of length scale ratio are proposed for determining the lift and drag aerodynamic admittances of a 5:1 rectangular cylinder. Furthermore, a simple relationship is established to correlate the turbulence parameter with the fluctuating force coefficient, which could be used to predict the fluctuating force on a 5:1 rectangular cylinder under different parameter conditions.

A contact strip shape of a high speed train pantograph system was optimized with CFD to increase the aerodynamic performance and stability of contact force, and the results were validated by a wind tunnel test. For design of the optimal contact strip shape, a Kriging model and genetic algorithm were used to ensure the global search of the optimal point and reduce the computational cost. To enhance the performance and robustness of the contact strip for high speed pantograph, the drag coefficient and the fluctuation of the lift coefficient along the angle of attack were selected as design objectives. Aerodynamic forces were measured by a load cell and HWA (Hot Wire Anemometer) was used to measure the Strouhal number of wake flow. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) was adopted to visualize the flow fields. The optimized contact strip shape was shown a lower drag with smaller fluctuation of vertical lift force than the general shaped contact strip. And the acoustic noise source strength of the optimized contact strip was also reduced. Finally, the reduction amount of drag and noise was assessed when the optimized contact strip was applied to three dimensional pantograph system.

This paper presents the main outcomes of the preliminary development of the Anuloid, an innovative disk-shaped VTOL aircraft. The Anuloid has three main features: lift is provided by a ducted fan powered by a turboshaft; control capabilities and anti-torque are due to a system of fixed and movable surfaces that are placed in the circular internal duct and the bottom portion of the aircraft; the Coanda effect is exploited to enable the control capabilities of such surfaces. In this paper, results from CFD analyses and wind tunnel tests are presented. Horizontal and vertical flights were considered, including accelerated flight. Particular attention was paid to the experimental analysis of the Coanda effect via a reduced scale 3D printed model. The results suggest that the Coanda effect is continuously present at the lower surface of the Anuloid and may be exploited for the control of the aircraft. Also, very complex 3D flows may develop around the aircraft.

본 논문은 송전선로 갤러핑 현상 분석을 위해 요구되는 비대칭 송전선의 공기력 계수 측정에 관한 것으로, 세 종류의 비대칭 단면으로 구성된 단도체, 2도체 및 4도체 모형에 대해서 난류 조건에서의 풍동실험을 수행하였다. 송전선로 갤러핑은 비대칭의 착빙된 송전선에 안정된 바람이 작용하는 경우 발생하는 유체유발진동의 한 종류로, 상간 이격거리와 송전탑 하중의 계산 등 송전선의 설계시 고려해야하는 주요 인자 중 하나이다. 갤러핑에 의해 발생하는 반복적인 변동 하중은 송전선을 포함한 체결 부품 등에 큰 동응력을 발생시키는 것을 고려하여, 송전선을 비롯한 각종 부품은 마모와 피로손상에 견딜 수 있는 충분한 내구성을 가져야 한다. 국내에서도 빙설해에 의한 송전선로의 고장은 급격한 전압 강하로 인한 전기 품질에 큰 영향을 끼치는 주요 원인이 되고 있으며, 매년 약 20건 이상씩 발생하고 있는 점을 고려해, 안정적인 전력 공급과 유지, 보수 비용을 절감하기 위해서 갤러핑 현상에 대해서 기초부터 체계적인 접근이 요구되고 있다.

제자리 비행하는 수직이착륙 무인항공기용 엇회전식 덕티드팬의 전 후방동익 팁간극이 덕티드팬에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 전산해석을 수행하였다. $k-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델을 사용하여 엇회전식 덕티드팬의 전산해석을 수행하였으며, 기준형상에 대해 제자리 및 전진 비행 상태의 공력특성을 풍동시험을 통해 계측하여 전산해석 기법을 검증하였다. 엇회전식 덕티드팬에서 특정 동익의 팁간극이 증가하면 그 동익과 덕트의 추력계수는 감소하고, 다른 동익의 추력계수는 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 후방동익의 팁간극이 증가하면 덕티드팬 출구면의 평균 전압을 상승시켜 덕티드팬의 추력을 증가시켰다.

외부 환경조건에 의한 항공기 위협인자로서 과냉각 대형 액적은 그 중요성이 지속적으로 보고되고 있다. 이러한 대형 액적의 거동은 상대적으로 작은 액적과 달리 그 형태가 변화하며 액적이 표면과 충돌시 파편이 발생하는 등 다양한 물리적 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 대형 액적의 거동을 시뮬레이션 하기 위해 비정렬 격자계 기반 2차원 압축성 Navier-Stokes 코드와 액적 거동 시뮬레이션 코드를 개발하였다. 또한 대형 액적의 물리적 현상을 모사하기 위해 반경험적 기법에 기반한 액적항력모델과 액적-고체표면 충돌 모델을 기존 액적장 지배방정식의 액적항력계수 및 경계면의 수치적 경계조건으로 적용하였다. 그 결과 풍동 시험과 액적충돌 영역 및 최대 축적율은 매우 유사하게 나타난 반면 NACA23012 익형의 아랫면 주위 축적율의 경향은 풍동 시험보다 다소 크게 나타났다.

The coupled time-integration method with a staggered algorithm based on computational structural dynamics (CSD), finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been developed in order to demonstrate physical vibration phenomena due to dynamic aeroelastic excitations. Virtual flutter tests for the spanwise curved ing model have been effectively conducted using the present advanced computational method with high speed parallel processing technique. In addition, the present system can simultaneously give a recorded data file to generate virtual animation for the flutter safety test. The results for virtual flutter test are compared with the experimental data of wind tunnel test. It is shown from the results that the effect of spanwise curvature have a tendency to decrease the flutter dynamic pressure for the same flight condition.

The force coefficients of rotating plates in the acceleration stage will vary with rotation rate from 0 to stable rotation rate w₀, which are important for quasi-steady theory of plate-like windborne debris to simulate the trajectory. In this paper, a wind tunnel experiment is carried out to study the effects of geometry and the Reynolds number on the variations of mean force coefficients of rotating plates. The rotational lift coefficients are sensitive to both geometry effect and Reynolds number effect, while the rotational drag and moment coefficients are only sensitive to geometry effect. In addition, new empirical formulas for the rotational lift coefficient and moment coefficients are proposed. Its accuracy is verified by comparing the predicted results with existing test data. Based on the experimental data of rotating plates, a new rotational force model for quasi-steady theory, which can be applied to a wider scope, is proposed to calculate the trajectory of plate-like windborne debris. The results show that the new model provides a better match with the tested trajectories than previous quasi-steady theories.
