For simulation of a fin unfolding motion for the various aerodynamic conditions, equations and moments applying to the unfolding fin were modelled. Aerodynamic roll moment consists of the static roll moment and the damping moment, which were obtained through wind tunnel tests and numerical analyses respectively. Panel method was used to compute the roll damping coefficient with deflected fin, whose angle was equivalent to angle of attack due to the deployment motion. Roll damping coefficient is a function of angle of attack, sideslip angle, and deployment angle but not of angular velocity of deployment. Simulation with aerodynamic damping model gave more similar deployment time compared to fin deployment test results.

A study on aerodynamic modeling was performed to predict the hinge moments required for initial design of missile. Fin aerodynamic coefficients were modeled using the equivalent angle of attack method based on the wind tunnel test. In addition, CFD analysis was performed to calculate the dynamic pressure around the body and improve the accuracy of aerodynamic coefficients. The aerodynamic coefficient accuracy was verified by comparisons of the coefficient acquired from wind tunnel test and prediction of flow conditions, not involved in the model built-up. It was confirmed that fin aerodynamic coefficients can be predicted effectively by using the proposed method.

A new approach to systematically model aerodynamic coefficients using an adaptive sampling based wind tunnel testing considering cost is proposed. The Latin Hypercube design is used for selecting initial test points. The Gaussian Process (GP) is iteratively used during the experiment to determine additional experimental points that minimizes the uncertainty reduction per incremental cost. A numerical simulation based experiment was conducted using the static aerodynamic coefficient database a fighter aircraft, which demonstrated the validity of the proposed method.

A numerical analysis is carried out in order to obtain aerodynamic data of the ski jump. The body modelling of Korean people is used in the numerical simulation and the result is validated by comparing it with the wind tunnel experiment. A flying posture, which provides the maximum lift-to-drag ratio, is found by analyzing the aerodynamic coefficients of various flight conditions. The result of the present study can be applied to fixing the postures of Korean ski players and is expected to advance the national sports science.

This research presents the influence of the base region modeling on the aerodynamic characteristics of a launch vehicle using CFD. The vicinity of a launch vehicle is divided into four zones, and four computational cases are made using these four zones. The aerodynamic coefficients are predicted for the angle-of-attack of 6 degrees and Mach numbers ranging from 0.4 to 2.86. It was found that modeling of the base region should not be neglected for the prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics of a launch vehicle in subsonic and transonic regions. It was also found that the modeling of the sting support used in the wind tunnel test is necessary to get a better agreement with the experiments.

임의의 물체가 유체 내에서 운동하거나 정지해 있을 때 유체에 의해서 운동에 방해가 되는 힘을 형상저항이라고 한다. 형상저항은 레이놀즈수에 의한 경계층의 흐름형태에 따라 변화하며, 경계층의 흐름형태는 레이놀즈수가 $10^5$보다 작은 경우 층류로, 그 이상의 경우 난류로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 유체 내에 물체가 정지해 있을 경우 조도에 따른 형상저항의 변화를 알아보기 위해 각기 다른 조도를 가진 실린더를 모델링해 EDISON_CFD을 이용하여 전산 해석을 하였다. 실린더의 표면에 파장의 주기와 진폭, 층류와 난류 영역에서의 항력계수의 변화에 대해 검토하였다.

소형 풍력터빈 설계 시 고려해야 할 익형의 선택, 익형의 붙임각 및 Solidity 등이 터빈의 성능에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 한 개의 익형에 대한 공력계수를 이용하여 수학적 모델링을 통하여 최적 붙임각을 예측하여 경향을 파악하였다. 받음각에 따른 익형의 공력특성을 CFD 기법으로 파악한 후 5개의 Blade를 갖는 Turbine의 성능을 익형의 붙임각에 따라 파악하여 최대 성능을 갖는 붙임각을 최종 산출하였다. 익형 선정시 받음각에 대한 양력/항력 곡선을 이동시키는 캠버 익형의 기능보다는 항력 대양력의 비(L/D) 가 최대인 익형을 선정하는 것이 더욱 중요하며, Blade수가 적을수록 Torque의 양은 증가하고 Blade가 6이상이변 효율이 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있다.

Fixed-wing UAVs have long endurance and range capabilities compared to other aerial platforms. These advantages led fixed-wing UAVs to become a popular platform for reconnaissance missions in the military. In this research, we modeled fixed-wing UAVs, including the landing gear model and developed a guidance and control system for flight control computers to construct a HILS environment. We also developed an autopilot system that includes automated take-off, cruise, and landing control for UAVs. We also retrived the Aerodynamic coefficients an UAV using Datcom and AVL software and used them for 6 degrees of freedom modeling. The Flight control computer calculates guidance commands using the Carrot chasing guidance law after distinguishing the condition of the UAV based on 16 pre-defined flight modes and calculates control inputs using Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) control scheme. We used RTNngine to integrate the Simulink model and flight control computer for HILS environment formulation.

The flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV) in this study utilizes the cambered wings made of quite flexible material. Similar to the flying creatures, the present cambered wing uses three different materials at its leading edge, vein, and membrane. And it is constrained in various conditions. Since passive rotation uses the flexible nature of the wing, it is important to select an appropriate material for a wing. A three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction solver is developed for a realistic modeling of the cambered wing. Then a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the aerodynamic performance in terms of the elastic modulus of leading edge and vein. Consequently, the elastic modulus plays a key role in enhancing the aerodynamic performance of FW-MAVs.
