Nowadays in Republic of Korea, there is no distinct reference for the related design technology of rotor blade of wind turbine. Therefore the optimum design and evaluation of performance is carried out with foreign commercial code softwares. This paper shows in-house code software that evaluates the aerodynamic design of wind turbine rotor blade using blade element-momentum theory (BEMT) and processes that is applied through various aerodynamics theories such as momentum theory, blade element theory, prandtl's tip loss theory and strip theory. This paper presents the results of the numerical analysis such as distribution of aerodynamic properties and performance curves using in-house code POSEIDON.

In order to have the high efficiency of aircraft wing and to improve the energy efficiency in field of eco-friendly transportation, the performance characteristics of the aircraft wing were studied with the change of lift to drag ratio through the CFD analysis. The design process was focused on generating the high lift force and low drag force as the lift to drag ratio was increased. In this paper, various dimple patterns were numerically designed to investigate the flow characteristics. Hexagon-and circle-shaped dimples, dimple distance and position were changed as the artificial conditions. The numerical analyses were conducted by using the commercial code, ANSYS CFX. Numerical results dependent on the turbulence intensity and lift to drag ratio distribution were graphically depicted for various dimple patterns.

Some passenger cars with sunroofs open at tilted positions experience reverse flows into cabin rooms and wind noises much louder compared to other cars. In this study, flows around open sunroofs are numerically studied with the variations of body leakage. The effects of body leakage on ventilation and wind noise of a sun roof are examined, in particular. Furthermore, flow visualization, pressure, and noise measured from wind tunnel and road tests are presented. The results show that too small body leakage results in poor performance of ventilation and generates high wind noise around a sunroof. It is therefore very important to secure an adequate body leakage from the early design stage to achieve better performance of a sunroof as well as passengers' comfort related to HVAC(Heating, Ventilation, and Airconditioning).

The aerodynamic performance of an indoor room air-conditioner using a cross-flow fan is strongly influenced by the various design factors of a rear-guider and a stabilizer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a rear-guider and a stabilizer on the aerodynamic performance in the maximum flowrate range of a cross-flow fan. The design factors considered in this study are a rear-guider clearance, a stabilizer cutoff clearance, and a stabilizer setup angle, respectively. Aerodynamic performances including maximum flowrate and power show the biggest magnitude distribution in the case of $45^{\circ}$, the stabilizer setup angle as well as nearly similar magnitude distribution regardless of the stabilizer cutoff clearances. Moreover, the more a rear-guider clearance increases, the more the magnitude of maximum flowrate and power increases.

The rotor blade of helicopter is the core component determining helicopter performance and requiring low noise and low vibration because the blade becomes the major source of noise during flight. The performance analysis of candidates rotor blades is very critical because LCH(Light Civil Helicopter) will be developed parallel with LAH(Light Armed Helicopter) as an international upgrade program based on the existing platform of foreign civil helicopter. This research was aimed to recognize the performance of the candidates rotor blades compared with the newly developed foreign rotor blades and to investigate the feasibility about developing korea unique shape rotor blades by analysis the rotor performance and noise. The result of this research can be used for the target performance index during negotiation with foreign helicopter company and developing korea unique shape rotor blades.

An investigation on aerodynamic performance of a highly-loaded axial fan has been conducted to find the effects of tip injection and casing groove on aerodynamic performance in this study. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model were used to analyze the fluid flow in the fan with Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis. The hexahedral grid was used to construct computational domain, and the grid dependency test drew the optimal grid system. FSI analysis was also carried out to predict the deformation of rotor and stator blades, and the effect of deformation on the aerodynamic performance of axial fan was analyzed compared to the performance predicted without FSI analysis.

Theoretical analysis and performance test of Jet vane type Thrust Vector Control(TVC) were conducted using supersonic cold-flow system. The use of TVC Systems an in particular jet vanes, are currently being researched for use in air launch, ship launch, underwater launch and high altitude maneuvering of tactical missiles and rockets. The necessity to generate control forces to rapidly change the course of the missile is frequently required when traditional, exterior aerodynamic surfaces are unable to produce these forces, when the flow over the control surface is insufficient. This situation can occur at launch, or high angles of attack of the control surfaces. Jet vanes peformed well at all altitudes and environmental conditions, and jet vanes are extremely effective at deflection angles up to as high as $30^{\circ}$, make them ideal for the launch and maneuver applications. In this study, performance test of supersonic cold-flow system and visualization of supersonic jet was conducted, and shape and deflection angle effect of two types of jet vanes are investigated.
