It is essential for the accurate time-domain prediction of broadband noise due to turbulence-cascade interaction to develop inflow/outflow boundary conditions to satisfy the following three requirements: to maintain the back ground mean flow, to nonreflect the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified input gust. The preceding study showed that perfectly matched layer(PML) boundary condition was successfully applied to absorb the outgoing disturbances and to generate the specified gust in the time-domain computations of broadband noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of flat-plates. In present study, PML boundary condition is extended in order to predict steady mean flow that is needed for the computation of noise due to interaction of incident gust with a cascade of airfoils. PML boundary condition is originally designed to absorb flow disturbances superimposed on the steady meanflow in the buffer zone. However, the steady meanflow must be computed before PML boundary condition is applied on the flow computation. In the present paper, PML equations are extended by introducing source term to maintain desired mean flow conditions. The extended boundary condition is applied to the benchmark problem where the meanflow around a cascade of airfoils is predicted. These illustrative computations reveal that the extended PML equations can effectively provide and maintain the target meanflow.

Interaction between the unsteady flow emitted from the blade of the centrifugal fan and the volute tongue region of fan duct is known as the main noise source of the centrifugal fan. In this paper, the relative contributions of the volute tongue region of the centrifugal fan is analyzed to utilize as the foundation data of low noise design. The internal hybrid CAA (Computational Aero-Acoustics) method is used to predict noise radiated from the main noise source. This method is the noise prediction technique using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), Acoustic analogy, and BEM(Boundary Element Method). The relative contributions of the centrifugal fan volute tongue region using the hybrid CAA method show that the region between the cut-off and the scroll has high contribution than the region between the cut-off and the outlet and the hub region of blade has high contribution than the shroud region of blade. These results is utilized as the important data for the development of low noise centrifugal fan.

The propulsive characteristics of oscillating flat plates are investigated using a discrete vortex method. The plates and their wakes are represented by discrete point vortices. To analyze the closely coupled aerodynamic interference between the plates, a vortex core model and a vortex core addition scheme are combined. A calculated wake shape for a flat plate in heaving oscillation is compared with flow visualization. The effect of wake shapes on the propulsive characteristics of the plates in pitching oscillation is investigated. The propulsive characteristics of oscillating plates with three cases (1. one is stationary and another is oscillating, 2. both oscillating in phase, 3. both oscillating out of phase) are calculated. The plates oscillating out of phase showed the largest thrust force among the three cases.

The aeroelastic stability analysis of a soft-in-plane, composite hingeless rotor blade in hover and in forward flight has been performed by combining the mixed beam method and the aeroelastic analysis system that is based on a moderate deflection beam approach. The aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the blade are obtained using the Leishman-Beddoes unsteady aerodynamic model. Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing equations of composite helicopter blades undergoing extension, lag and flap bending, and torsion deflections. The influence of key structural modeling issues on the aeroelastic stability behavior of helicopter blades is studied. The issues include the shell wall thickness, elastic couplings and the correct treatment of constitutive assumptions in the section wall of the blade. It is found that the structural modeling effects are largely dependent on the layup geometries adopted in the section of the blade and these affect on the stability behavior in a large scale.

During the conceptual design phase of a light sport aircraft, the wind tunnel tests were conducted to investigate the static stability of newly-designed configuration. The 1/5 scale-down wind tunnel model consisted of fuselage, main wing, vertical tail and horizontal tail. The main wing and tails were able to be attached or detached from the fuselage. The aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the 6 different configurations compounding each component were measured by using the internal balance system and their static stability derivatives were derived. With these experimental data, the baseline lift and drag characteristics as well as the effects of each component to the longitudinal, directional and lateral static stability were quantitatively analyzed.

In this study, the main focus is the simulation of acoustic wave scattering in trailing edge and the analysis of the generation mechanism of instability wave by the interaction of trailing edge, shear flow and initial disturbance. The numerical algorithm is based on CFD/CAA hybrid method with high-order computational aeroacoustic method. It is found that steady mean flow gradient terms play a crucial role on the generation of instability wave through the comparison of simulations of Simple Linearized Euler Equation and Full Linearized Euler Equation. Through the comparison with the results of Full Navier-Stokes Equation, it is reasonable and efficient to use the Full Linearized Euler Equation in the initial generation mechanism of the instability wave near the trailing edge.

Since the previous cut-and-try design algorithm requires much cost and time, the automated design technique with the CFD and optimum design algorithm has recently been concerned. In this work, the Navier-Stokes equation was solved to gain more detailed viscous flow information of cascade with rotor-stator interactions. The H-grid embedded by O-grid was generated to obtain more accurate solution by eliminating the branch cut of H-grid near airfoil surface. To handle the relative motion of the rotor to the stationary stator, the sliding multiblock method was applied and the cubic-spline interpolation was used on the block interface boundary. To validate present procedure, the time-averaged aerodynamic loads were compared with experimeatal data. A good agreement was obtained. The Modified Method of Feasible Direction (MMFD) was used to carry out the sensitivity analysis of the change of aerodynamic performance by the changes of the cascade geometry. The present optimization of the cascade gave a dramatic reduction of the drag while the lift maintains at the value within the user-specified tolerance.

This paper investigates the modal acoustic power by a cascade of flat-plate airfoils interacting with homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. Basic formulation for the acoustic power upstream and downstream is based on the analytical theory of Smith and its generalization due to Cheong et al. The acoustic power spectrum has been expressed as the sum of cut-on acoustic modes, whose modal power is the product of three terms: a turbulence series, an upstream or downstream power factor and an upstream or downstream acoustic response function. The effect of these terms in the modal acoustic power has been examined. For isotropic turbulence gust, the turbulent series are only reducing factor of the modal acoustic power. The power factor tends to reduce the modal acoustic power in the upstream direction, although the power factor is liable to increase the modal acoustic power in the downstream direction. The modes close to cut-off are decreasing strongly, especially in the downstream direction. Therefore the modes close to cut-off don't contribute highly to the radiated acoustic power in the downstream direction, although the modal acoustic pressure is high for these modes.

Incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $\varepsilon{-SST}$ turbulence model are adopted for the investigation of the flow fields between the square cylinder and the ground. When the grounds moves, the diminish of the shear layer intensity on the ground promotes the interaction between the lower and the upper separated shear layer of the cylinder. Hence vortex shedding occurs at the lower gap height than stationary ground. In the moving ground, the secondary shedding frequency disappears due to the absence of the separation bubble on the ground which exists in the stationary ground. In addition, the shedding frequency and aerodynamic coefficients in the moving ground become higher than those of the stationary ground.

기존의 2차원 FDLB 모델(D2Q21)에서 비열비 ${\gamma}$는 공간의 차원수(D)에 의존한다. 즉, 2차원 공간의 계산에서는 ${\gamma}=(D+2)/D=2.0$밖에 취할 수 없으며, 공기와 같은 실체기체를 전산모사 하기에는 여러 어려움이 있다. 이러한 이유 때문에 문헌[1]의 LBM에서 제안된 조정 가능한 비열비 모델을 2차원 FDLB모델에 적용하여 자려발생 에지톤(edgetone)의 수치계산이 수행되었다. wedge의 선단각도가 ${\alpha}=23^{\circ}$(Case I) 및 $20^{\circ}$(Case II)를 갖는 2가지 모델이 설정되었으며, 노즐출구에서 wedge선단까지의 거리 w/d는 $3d{\sim}12d$사이에서 주어졌다. edgetone은 노즐로부터 나온 분류와 edge의 상호작용으로 이난 음압(sound pressure)의 차에 의해서 소음이 발생하며, 이 음압은 다시 상류의 분류에 영향을 미쳐 분류의 변동을 가져온다. w/d가 ??9d이하인 경우, 피드백(feedback) 메커니즘에 기인한 주기적인 운동이 발생하지만, w/d가 큰 ??9d이상인 경우에는 분류의 불안정성 때문에 규칙적인 분류의 운동은 보이질 않으며, 이는 기존의 연구결과들과 잘 일치함을 보였다. 본 연구에서 적용된 모델을 이용하여 공기와 같은 2원자 기체의 비열비 ??${\gamma}=1.4$를 갖는 유체에 있어서 공력 소음의 수치예측이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.
