초록

고고도 장기체공 축소형 전기 동력 무인기(EAV-2H+)용 프로펠러의 성능을 평가하기 위해 풍동시험과 전산해석을 수행하였다. 3종의 프로펠러에 대해 성능 곡선을 측정하고, 운용 조건을 평가하여 EAV-2H+에 적용 가능 여부를 판단하였다. 낮은 rpm 영역에서 성능 계수의 저하 경향을 확인하였다. 프로펠러 성능에 미치는 강체 천이 테이프 부착 효과를 측정하고 분석하였다. 상용 전산유체역학 코드를 사용한 성능 해석을 수행하여 시험과 해석의 추력계수-동력계수 선도가 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 전진비에 따른 성능 계수를 비교하고 결과 차이에 기여하는 시험장치의 영향을 평가하였다. 시험에서 관찰된 낮은 rpm 영역의 성능 감소 경향을 transition SST 모델이 유사하게 모사함을 확인하였다. 낮은 레이놀즈수에 의한 깃 요소의 공력 성능 저하가 프로펠러 성능 감소의 주원인으로 분석되었다. 고고도 조건 해석으로부터 프로펠러 성능 저하를 확인하였다.

Wind tunnel experiment and computational analysis have been carried out to evaluate the performance of propeller for scale electric-powered HALE UAV, named EAV-2H+. Performance curves are measured for three propellers and their adequacy for EAV-2H+ installation is examined through consideration of operating conditions. Decline in performance coefficients is observed in low rpm region. Also, the effect of transition tape on propeller performance is measured and analyzed. The computational performance analyses are carried out by using commercial CFD program. The thrust and power coefficient from computations show good agreement with experimental results. Performance coefficients are compared and the influence of measurement device which contributes to discrepancy of the results is examined. Transition SST model is confirmed to yield the tendency of performance decline in low rpm range, similar to experimental observation. The decrease in aerodynamic performance of blade element due to low Reynolds number is identified to cause the decline in propeller performance. Analyses for high altitude conditions confirms degradation in propeller performance.
