A new improved inviscid separation model to calculate the mean flow past circular cylinders is proposed. The wake region is modeled by a pair of vortex sheets which emerge from the separation points and are allowed to move freely with the local stream. The vortex strength assumes a constant value for some initial distance which is related to the pressure drag and gradually decreases to zero as the sheet moves farther away from the body. This vorticity distribution automatically takes care of the length parameter which has been one of the deficiencies in the existing models. The procedure is tested against various experimental data and the agreement is quite good for both sub and super-critical regimes. The comparison with an existing model is also given.

The static aeroelastic analysis of composite hingeless rotor blades in hover was performed using free-wake method. Large deflection beam theory was applied to analyze blade motions as a one-dimension beam. Anisotropic beam theory was applied to perform a cross-sectional analysis for composite rotor blades. Aerodynamic loads were calculated through a three-dimensional aerodynamic model which is based on the unsteady vortex lattice method. The wake geometry in hover was described using a time-marching free-wake method. Numerical results of the steady-state deflections for the composite hingeless rotor blades were presented and compared with those results based on two-dimensional quasi-steady strip theory and prescribed wake method. It was shown that wakes affect the steady-state deflections.

In this paper, a free wake analysis based on the curved vortex element and CVC wake model is used to predict the aerodynamic performance and noise for HAWT. Also for prediction of RPM, a maximum value through a quadratic regression was suggested. And for a noise prediction, the broadband noise prediction method based on experimental equation was used. The curved vortex element uses a BCVE and an SIVE instead of a straight vertex element. In the CVC wake model, the vortex strengths are assumed to be constant along a span and a vortex filament. The free wake structure made by the curved vortex element and CVC was substituted for a vortex lattice, so it has an advantage for the less calculation time and a depiction of accurate wake structure. For the verification of this program, calculated results are compared with Mr. Kim's experiment model and Zond Z-40FS for performance and with WTS-4 and USWP models for noise. Good agreements are obtained between the predicted and the measured data for the performance and far-field noise spectra.

Noises from the helicopter rotor model are calculated numerically at various pitch angles. The aerodynamic data are calculated by using prescribed wake model and unsteady panel method. The distribution of aerodynamic loads on the blade surface are obtained from $0^{\circ}$ to $9^{\circ}$ pitch angles with equiangular increments of $1.5^{\circ}$. Although thickness noise is not related to the change of pitch angles, loading noise level increases about 3~4dBA every $1.5^{\circ}$ increment of pitch angle. The additive noise level shows sufficient value to perceive the loudness. From the result of directivity pattern the sound level at the lower region of the blade disc plane is higher than that of the upper region.

원형 실린더를 주변 흐름에 관한 연구는 오랜 기간 유체역학 전 영역에서 모형실험이나 수치모형으로 광범위하게 연구되었다. 이 흐름은 하천의 교각이나, 바다의 시추선과 같은 수공구조물 주변에서 관측된다. 난류와 와류가 공존하는 복잡한 특성 때문에, 이 흐름은 수공학에서 유사이송, 세굴, 오염물 확산 등에 영향을 준다. 본 연구는 실험실 수로에 설치된 원형 실린더(D=9cm) 후방의 근접 와류 구간에서(x/D<5) 유속을 ADV로 측정한 후, 난류 특성을 Power Spectral Estimation(PSE)와 Singular Spectral Analysis(SSA) 방법으로 연구하였다. PSE는 샘플 스펙트럼의 한계를 보완하고자 자료를 분할하고, window 함수를 적용하여 ensemble 평균을 구하는 경험적 방법이다. PSE를 이용하여 스펙트럼을 계산한 결과, 주 흐름 및 횡방향 흐름은 Inertial subrange에서 Kolmogorov의 가정과 일치하는 추세를 보였다. 그러나 수심방향 흐름의 스펙트럼은 -5/3보다 빠르게 감소하는 추세를 보였다. Inertial subrange 스펙트럼에서 난류 에너지 소산율은 원형 실린더에서 멀어짐에 따라 감소하는 추세를 보였고, 주 흐름방향과 횡방향 흐름은 비슷한 크기를 보였다. 난류 에너지 소산율과 동점성계수를 이용하여 Kolmogorov 길이, 유속, 시간 스케일을 계산했다. 난류의 운동에너지를 계산하기 위해 Triple decomposition 방법 중 하나인 SSA를 적용하였다. SSA는 유속행렬을 이용하여 고윳값과 고유벡터를 계산하고, 유속에서 기여도가 큰 부분을 추출하는 방법이다. SSA를 통해 실린더 후방 흐름에서 와류 성분과 난류 성분을 나누었다. 횡방향 흐름은 강한 와류로 큰 기여도를 갖는 고유벡터가 나타났지만, 주 흐름과 수심방향 흐름은 상대적으로 낮은 기여도를 갖는 고유벡터가 나타났다. 와류를 제외한 흐름에서 난류 운동에너지는 실린더와 멀어짐에 따라 감소하고, 흐름 중앙에서(y/D=0) 가장 큰 값을 보였다.

A two-phase Large Eddy Simulation(LES) has been conducted to investigate breakup and atomization of a liquid jet in a cross turbulent flow in a rectangular duct. Gas-droplet two-phase flow was solved by a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method which tracks every individual particles. Effects of liquid breakup models, sub-grid scale models, and a order of spatial discretization was investigated. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data by varying breakup model and LES scheme. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

In the present study, aerodynamic load analysis for a floating off-shore wind turbine was conducted to examine the effect of periodic platform motion in the direction of 6-DOF on rotor aerodynamic performance. Blade-element momentum method(BEM) was used for a numerical simulation, the unsteady airload effects due to the flow separation and the shed wake were considered by adopting a dynamic stall model based on the indicial response method. Rotor induced downwash was estimated using the momentum theory, coupled with empirical corrections for the turbulent wake states. The periodic platform motions including the translational motion in the heave, sway and surge directions and the rotational motion in the roll, pitch and yaw directions were considered, and each platform motion was applied as a sinusoidal function. For the numerical simulation, NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was used as the target wind turbine. The results showed that among the translation modes, the surge motion has the largest influence on changing the rotor airloads, while the effect of pitch motion is predominant for the rotations.

Urban air mobility (UAM) equipped with rotor system is subject to ground effect at vertiport during takeoff and landing. The aerodynamic performance of the aircraft in ground effect should be analyzed for the safe operation. In this study, The ground effects on the aerodynamic performance and wake structure of the quadcopter electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) configuration equipped with coaxial counter-rotating propellers were investigated by using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The influence of the ground effect was observed differently in the upper and lower propellers of the coaxial counter-rotating propeller system. There was no significant change in the aerodynamic performance of the upper propeller even if the propeller height above the ground was changed, whereas the averaged thrust and torque of the lower propeller increased significantly as propeller height decreased. In addition, the amplitude of the thrust fluctuation tended to increase as the propeller height decreased. The propeller wake was not sufficiently propagated downstream and was diffused along the ground due to the outwash flow developed by the ground effect. The impingement of the rotor wakes on the ground and a fountain vortex structure were observed.

new computational procedure for the Non-Linear Vortex Lattice Method (NLVLM) is suggested in this work. Conventional procedures suggested so far usually involves inner iteration loop to update free vortex shape and an under-relaxation based iteration loop to determine the free vortex shape. In this present work, we suggest a new formula based on quasi-steady concept to fix free vortex shape which eliminates the need for inner iteration loop. Further, the ensemble averaging of the induced velocities for a given free vortex segment evaluated at each iteration significantly improves the convergence property of the algorithm without resorting to the under-relaxation technique. Numerical experiments over several low aspect ratio wings are carried out to obtain optimal empirical parameters such as the length of the free vortex segment, the vortex core radius, and the rolled-up wake length.
