  • In this study, the wind tunnel test for Kwangju World Cup Stadium with long span roof was carried out and its results were considered in the two roofs: one is the case of one roof, and the other is the case of two roofs which are identical. In this experiment, a 1/400-scale model was used. As a result of measuring wind pressure in the case of one roof and then two, when two roofs are set up, wind load for structural frame decreases by 35%, compared to that of one roof. These results show that the current criteria for wind loadings, which specify that wind pressure on the roof depends only on the altitude, have limitations for adoption, and a wind tunnel test is essential to design.

  • To investigate the motion-induced aeroelastic effects (or aerodynamic feedback effects) on a square cylinder in uniform flow, a series of wind tunnel tests involving the pressure measurement of a rigid model (RM) and simultaneous measurement of the pressure and vibration of an aeroelastic model (AM) have been systematically carried out. More specifically, the aerodynamic feedback effects on the structural responses, on the mean and root-mean-square wind pressures, on the power spectra and coherence functions of wind pressures at selected locations, and on the aerodynamic forces were investigated. The results indicated the vibration in the lock-in range made the shedding vortex more coherent and better organized, and hence presented unfavorable wind-induced effects on the structure. Whereas the vibration in the non-lock-in range generally showed insignificant effects on the flow structures surrounding the square cylinder.

  • With the assistance of typhoon field data at aerial elevation level observed by meteorological satellites and wind velocity and direction records nearby the ground gathered in Guangzhou Weather Station between 1985 and 2001, some key wind field parameters under typhoon climate in Guangzhou region were calibrated based on Monte-Carlo stochastic algorithm and Meng's typhoon numerical model. By using Peak Over Threshold method (POT) and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD), Wind field characteristics during typhoons for various return periods in several typical engineering fields were predicted, showing that some distribution rules in relation to gradient height of atmosphere boundary layer, power-law component of wind profile, gust factor and extreme wind velocity at 1-3s time interval are obviously different from corresponding items in Chinese wind load Codes. In order to evaluate the influence of typhoon field parameters on long-span flexible bridges, 1:100 reduced-scale wind field of type B terrain was reillustrated under typhoon and normal conditions utilizing passive turbulence generators in TJ-3 wind tunnel, and wind-induced performance tests of aero-elastic model of long-span Guangzhou Xinguang arch bridge were carried out as well. Furthermore, aerodynamic admittance function about lattice cross section in mid-span arch lib under the condition of higher turbulence intensity of typhoon field was identified via using high-frequency force-measured balance. Based on identified aerodynamic admittance expressions, Wind-induced stochastic vibration of Xinguang arch bridge under typhoon and normal climates was calculated and compared, considering structural geometrical non-linearity, stochastic wind attack angle effects, etc. Thus, the aerodynamic response characteristics under typhoon and normal conditions can be illustrated and checked, which are of satisfactory response results for different oncoming wind velocities with resemblance to those wind tunnel testing data under the two types of climate modes.

  • NREL Phase VI 12% 축소모델을 사용한 표준풍력터빈 풍동시험은 2006$\sim$2007년에 수행되었다. 1,2차 풍동시험은 복합재 및 알루미늄 블레이드를 사용하여 블레이드 제작정밀도 및 표면상태에 의한 영향을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 3차 풍동시험은 축소효과보상기법 개발을 위해 수행되었다. Bo-105 40% 모델에 사용된 코드확장기법을 적용하여 15% 코드확장 블레이드를 사용하여 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 코드확장기법을 적용할 경우 풍속에 대한 토크 기울기는 실물모델과 잘 일치하나, 최대토크 대비 8%정도 간극을 나타내고 있다. 풍력터빈 블레이드와 같이 캠버가 큰 익형을 사용하는 회전체에 대한 수정된 보상기법을 적용할 경우 이러한 간극은 보상될 수 있다.

  • NREL Phase VI 12% 축소모델을 사용한 표준풍력터빈 풍동시험은 2006년에 1차 시험이 수행되었다. 1차 풍동시험은 복합재 블레이드를 사용하여 표준조건(설치각 3도)에 대해 수행되었으며 블레이드 표면상태에 따라 측정값이 영향을 받는 것을 파악하였다. 2007년 4월에 수행된 2차 풍동시험은 표면상태의 영향을 보다 정확히 파악하기 위해 알루미늄 블레이드를 사용하여 시험을 수행하였으며, 블레이드 제작 정밀도에 따른 영향을 파악하였다. 낮은 레이놀즈 수 영역(저속영역)에서는 블레이드 표면상태 따라 토크 값 다르게 나타나며, 블레이드 끝단 부근의 제작 정밀도는 최대 토크 이후의 영역에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 0.1mm 이내의 정밀도로 제작된 모델의 경우 NREL 시험결과와 전체적인 형상이 유사하게 나타나며, 축소효과에 의한 영향으로 최대토크는 약 25% 정도 감소현상을 보이고 있다.

  • Wind tunnel test which is one of the method to predict the aeroelastic characteristics has difficulties to make scale-down structural model and achieve a specified free stream velocity. It is very costly and complicated to consider similarity relationships between real structure and scale-down structural model. "Dry Wind-Tunnel(DWT)" was proposed to overcome these difficulties. This is made up of Ground Vibration Test hardware and software to compute the aerodynamic forces. In the present study, program for computing the real-time unsteady aerodynamic forces which is an important part of DWT system was developed by Matlab Simulink and dSPACE. In addition, using this program and software which is a part of the test structure, a real-time flutter analysis was conducted and the results are verified by ZAERO.

  • The Magnus effect measurement apparatus was designed and built for spinning wind tunnel model which would simulate the rotation of projectiles. Prior to the high speed test, the ground functional test and the low speed test were carried out in the Agency for Defense Development's Low Speed Wind Tunnel(ADD-LSWT) at spin rates from about 6,000 to 10,000 rpm. Magnus force and moment were measured on the spinning projectile model at velocity of 100 m/s. It was shown that the Magnus force and moment were linear function of spin parameter. The test results were compared with Magnus test run on the same configuration in the Arnold Engineering Development Center's Propulsion Tunnel 4T(AEDC-4T).

  • The experiment was performed at the large wind tunnel of the Chungnam National University to measure the velocity distribution around the stern of a Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier model. The data, mean velocity vectors of turbulent shear flows at the stern and near-wake including the propeller plane, were obtained by a five-hole Pilot tube for the double body model fixed inside the wind tunnel test section. The present result of the double body model shows a close agreement with the result of the lowing tank experiment performed by the KRISO for the same ship model. The characteristics of the LNG stern flow are discussed based on the measured velocity distribution. The data can be very useful for the validation of some numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics.
