본 연구에서는 플라잉디스크의 윗면 곡률과 끝단두께에 따른 공력특성의 변화 및 유동 흐름을 EDISON_CFD를 통해 해석하고자 한다. 플라잉디스크는 받음각이 증가할수록 윗면 표면에서는 박리 거품이 발생하게 되고 아랫면에서 윗면으로 올라 갈려는 유동의 흐름이 발생하게 되어 뒷전과 후류에서 거대한 박리 거품이 발생하게 되어 공력특성 및 유동흐름에 큰 변화를 주게 된다. 총 5가지의 형상에 대해서 받음각을 $0^{\circ}{\sim}25^{\circ}$까지 마하수 0.0588, 해석모델은 KFLOW에서 k-w SST를 레이놀즈수 $3.78{\times}10^5$을 조건으로 각 형상의 공력특성과 유동의 흐름의 비교를 분석하였다. 그 결과 윗면의 곡률이 증가 할수록 앞전박리가 활발해지고, 끝단두께가 두꺼워 질수록 뒷전박리가 활발해진다. 이로 인해 곡률은 완만할수록 두께는 얇을수록 양력계수와 실속각을 증가 시킬 수 있다.

Experimental study was conducted to investigate aerodynamic interference effect of wing tip vortex in formation flight of high speed aircraft. In formation flight, wing tip vortex produced by leading aircraft can affect on the aerodynamic characteristics of trailing aircraft. The interference effect of flow is varied with distances between wing tips of leading and trailing aircraft. It is confirmed, in this study, that the interference of wing tip vortex generated from the leading aircraft makes the aerodynamic forces and moments of the trailing aircraft with the vertical or horizontal positions of the trailing aircraft. Especially, the lift coefficients of trailing aircraft were highly increased at y/b=-0.125, z/b=0.0 or deeply decreased at y/b=-0.5, z/b=0.38. The interfering pattern of wing tip vortices from two aircraft is precisely observed.

Cruciform parachute has advantage in manufacture and expanse compare with circular parachute. But it has disadvantage in stability. Wind tunnel test were conducted to investigate the effects of reefing-line on the cruciform parachutes with the purpose of finding aerodynamics characteristics of the parachute such as drag coefficient, normal force coefficient. Aerodynamics characteristics are measured accurately with 6-components pyramidal balance and load cells which were installed in the fixed-body. Four different models were tested and the test results were compared with each other. The aerodynamics characteristics were changed with reefing-line length. Separation edge was developed due to reefing-line also it made increasing of the stability. The cruciform parachute which improve stability is supposed to be used in variety purpose.

This paper suggests a new method to estimate the roll and pitch damping moment coefficients of a flying disc through sensor data from the onboard IMU module. This method can be easily performed than wind tunnel or computational fluid dynamics methods because it estimates aerodynamic coefficients simply after accumulating the inertial data through several repeated flight experiments. Estimated coefficients are applied to a simulator which is based on the flight dynamics of a flying disc. Finally, the predicted flight trajectory is compared with the true position provided by GPS, which demonstrated the validity of the proposed estimation method.

The pressure distributions on a semi-span wing 1/12 scale mode and sic component aerodynamic forces and moments on a complete 1/16 scale advanced trainer model were measured. To reduce wing-tip vortex strength, 3 wing-tip jet slot shaped(forward $35{^{\circ}C}$ direction, straigt direction, backward $35{^{\circ}C}$ direction) and 3 blowing coefficents (0.004, 0.009, 0.017) were considered. From experiment results, the case of straight direction and blowing coefficent of 0.017 was the best effective in the reduction of drag and in increase of lift-drag ratio and A rate of drag decrease and a rate of lift-drag ratio increase were of most effective on angle of attack 8 degree.

The flying wing configuration with high sweep angles and rounded leading edge represent a complex flow of structures by the leading edge vortex. For control of the tailless flying wing configuration with unstable directional stability, flaperon is used. In this study, we conducted numerical simulations for a non-slender flying wing configuration with a rounded leading edge and analyzed the effect of the sideslip angle and flaperon. Through aerodynamic coefficient analysis, it was found that the effect of AoS on lift and drag coefficient was minimal and the side force and moment coefficient were markedly influenced by AoS. As the sideslip angle increased, the pitch break, which is related to the pitching moment coefficient, was delayed. Through stability analysis, the directional and lateral static stability of the flying wing configuration were increased by flaperon. Also, the structure and behavior of the leading edge vortex were analyzed by observing the contour of the pressure coefficient and the skin friction line.

The flow control effect of blending Gurney flap with jet flap for flow around an NACA 0012 airfoil was numerically investigated through parameter variation of each flow control mechanism on unstructured meshes. The aerodynamic force and moment variations due to flow control were examined, and the results were compared between the blending control and each individual flow control. The results showed that the blending control required less energy input to achieve the same level of lift increment than that of the jet flap, and at the same time alleviated drag increment caused by introducing the Gurney flap.

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.

The temperature of the flight objects in high speed increases due to the aerodynamic heating. MINIVER and CFD approach are used to predict the aerodynamic heating conditions of KSLV-I. MINIVER is based on the empirical method. And the CFD approach predicts the aerodynamic heating conditions after the analysis of the surface temperature and the surface heat flux directly. In this study, the aerodynamic heating conditions using CFD approach are considered. The PLF temperature for these aerodynamic heating conditions is compared with the flight test data of KSLV-I.
