Abstract

The low speed aerodynamic characteristics of modified sonic arc airfoil which is developed to fit the transonic regime are investigated. This airfoil is designed by using the shape function of sonic arc proposed by Schwendenman, the data of NACA0012, and commercial program Maple. In order to investigate the low speed aerodynamic characteristic of sonic arc airfoil, the numerical analysis is conducted below Mach number 0.3 and the results are compared and analyzed with it of NACA0012 airfoil. At each Mach number, the drag of modified sonic arc airfoil is less 1.5% than NACA0012's drag and the lift of modified sonic arc airfoil is less 2% than NACA0012's lift. The moment coefficient of modified sonic arc airfoil is also less 1.4% than it of NACA0012 at each Mach number.

천음속 영역에 적합하도록 개발된 수정 Sonic Arc 익형의 저속 공력특성에 대해 조사하였다. 이 익형은 Schwendenman이 제안한 sonic arc 형상 함수와 NACA0012 형상 data 그리고 상용 프로그램 Maple을 이용하여 설계하였다. 수정 Sonic Arc 익형의 저속공력 특성을 조사하기 위해 마하수 0.3 이하에서 수치해석을 수행하고 그 결과를 NACA0012 익형의 저속 공력성능과 비교분석하였다. 각 마하수에서 수정 sonic arc 익형의 항력은 NACA0012의 항력보다 약 1.5% 정도 작게 나타났으며, 양력 비교에서도 수정 Sonic Arc 익형의 양력은 NACA0012의 양력보다 약 2% 정도 일정하게 작게 나타났다. 또한 각 마하수에서 수정 Sonic Arc 익형의 모멘트 계수는 NACA0012의 값보다 약 1.4% 정도 작게 나타났다.
