Abstract

The effects of three fuselage head shapes and nonplanar ground surface on the aerodynamic characteristics of FAST fuselages are investigated using a boundary element method. Wind tunnel test is also performed to validate the present method and to identify the wall effect on the frictional drag which cannot be analyzed using the present method. It is found that the channel has an effect of increasing the lift of those investigated fuselages. The optimal head shape depends on the design conditions of the FAST and its guideway channel. Comparing the calculated induced drag with the measured total drag, it can be concluded that the profile drag is independent of the ground height. Thus, the present numerical method can be applied to the conceptual design of the high-speed ground transporters if only the profile drag of the vehicle in free flight is assumed to be known.

경계요소법을 사용하여 세 가지 유형의 전두부 형상과 비 평면 지면이 FAST 동체의 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 본 수치해석 기법을 검증하고 벽면의 영향이 마찰항력에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 채널은 동체의 양력을 증가시키는 효과가 있었다. 최적의 전두부 형상은 동체와 측면 벽 사이의 간격, 동체의 높이와 같은 FAST 및 안내로 설계 조건에 의존하였다. 계산한 유도항력계수 값과 측정한 전항력 값을 비교한 결과 형상 항력은 동체의 고도에 무관하였다. 지면효과를 받지 않는 동체의 형상항력 값을 알고 있다면, 본 수치기법은 고속 지상 운행체의 개념설계에 사용할 수 있다.
