Unsteady aerodynamic analysis of an air-pressure-levitated high-speed ground vehicle moving over the nonplanar ground surface are performed using the boundary-element method. The potential flow solution is included in a time-stepping loop and the wake is captured as part of the solution. When the vehicle moving inside the channel, the lift coefficient and the pitching moment coefficient of the vehicle are increased further because the air trapped by the channel increases the ground effect. In other words, the nonplanar ground surface such as the channel decreases further the longitudinal stability of the vehicle. On the other hand, there is little difference between the ground and the channel in the lateral stability of the vehicle because the lift increment due to the nonplanar ground surface such as the channel takes place on both sides of the wing with the same rate of increase.

Unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the wing with flaperon flying over nonplanar ground surface are investigated using a boundary-element method. The time-stepping method is used to simulate the wake shape according to the motion of the wing and flaperon over the surface or in the channel. The aerodynamic coefficient according to the periodic motion of the flaperon is shown as the shape of loop. The rolling moment coefficient of the wing flying in the channel is same as that of the wing flying over the ground surface. The variation range of pitching moment is wider when the wing flies in the channel than over the ground surface. The present method can provide various aerodynamic derivatives to secure the stability of superhigh speed vehicle flying over nonplanar ground surface using the present method.

A three-dimensional inviscid flow solver has been developed based on unstructured meshes for the investigation of the effect of the external stores on the tail surfaces of a generic fighter aircraft. The numerical method is based on a vertex-centered finite-volume discretization and an implicit point Gauss-Seidel time integration. The calculations were made for a steady flow and the computed results were compared with experimental data to validate the flow solver. An unsteady time-accurate computation of the generic fighter aircraft with external stores at transonic flight conditions showed that the external stores cause unsteady loading on the horizontal tail surface due to the mutual interference between their wake and the horizontal tail surface. It was shown that downward deflection of the trailing edge flap significantly reduces the undesirable interference effect.

The large scale wind turbine blades usually experience periodic change of inflow speed due to blade rotation inside the ground shear flow region. Because of the vertical wind shear, the inflow velocity in the boundary layer region is maximum at uppermost position and minimum at lowermost position. These spatial distribution of wind speeds can lead to the periodic oscillation of the 6-component loads at hub and low speed shaft of the wind turbine rotor. In this study we compare the aerodynamic loads between two inflow conditions, i.e, uniform flow (no vertical wind shear effect) and normal wind profile. From the computed results all of the relative errors for oscillating amplitudes increased due to the ground shear flow effect. Especially bending moment and thrust at hub, and bending moments at LSS increased enormously. It turns out that the aerodynamic analysis including the ground shear flow effect must be considered for fatigue analysis.

Aerodynamic data measured in a wind tunnel has inevitable errors due to the presence of the wind tunnel walls. These unwanted interference effects must be corrected for the wall interference free aerodynamic data. Streamline curvature effects are caused by straightening of streamlines due to wind tunnel walls. Classical Glauert's correction method that is a standard method for fixed wing aircraft is not suitable for rotary wing aircraft. In this paper, Heyson's correction method of which wake model is compatible with rotors is used to correct the rotor shaft angle as well as the dynamic pressure. The results of Heyson's method are compared with Glauert's correction method.

본 논문에서는 쿼터니온 궤환 개념이 기존의 오일러각 궤환 개념에 비해 추력벡터제어(Thrust Vector Control) 방식을 사용하는 전술 유도탄 자세제어에 보다 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보인다. 오일러각 궤환 방식을 택한 기존의 자세제어기에서 오일러각 궤환 부분을 쿼터니온 궤환으로 적절히 바꾸어 주게 되면 자세명령 크기 변화에 따른 시간응답 특성의 변화를 줄일 수 있으며, 쿼터니온 궤환 방식을 택할 경우, 우주비행체 자세제어 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 고유축(Eigen Axis) 회전에 의한 자세변환을 수행할 수 있는 자세제어기 설계가 가능하다. 고유축 회전은 최단경로에 의한 자세변환 개념이므로, 이러한 능력을 갖춘 자세제어기는 신속한 자세변환이 필요한 전술 유도탄의 초기비행에 매우 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다. 더욱이, 제어법칙에 공력모멘트를 보상하는 항을 추가하게 되면 변화가 심한 공력 모멘트가 유도탄의 회전운동에 미치는 영향을 줄일 수 있어 고유축 회전성능을 보다 개선시킬 수 있다. 우선, 오일러각 궤환보다 쿼터니온 궤환이 유리한 점을 논하고, 쿼터니온 궤환에 근거한 자세제어기의 설계 개념과 제안된 제어기에 의해 구성되는 폐루우프에 대한 안정성 문제를 다룬 후, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 타당성을 검증한다.

In a 3-D flapping motion, the spanwise flow is generated while the wing is moved on the stroke plane. And at the end of each stroke, the rotational circulation is generated due to a wing rotation. In this study, to evaluate the effect of spanwise flow and wing rotation on the aerodynamic characteristics in 3-D flap 753ping motion, a 3-D flapping motion was compared with a 2-D translating motion. In each flapping motion, the aerodynamic forces were measured with respect to the angles of attack and Reynolds number. The aerodynamic forces generated by 2-D translating motion were higher than those generated by 3-D flapping motion. While the lift of 3-D flapping motion was increased until the angle of attack $60^{\circ}$ at mid-stroke, the lift generated by 2-D translating motion was decreased above the angle of attack 40° at mid stroke. Also, at the end of each stroke, the aerodynamic forces were increased rapidly due to wing rotation.

The Power Augmented Ram(PAR) effect, which blows the down stream of the propellers into the underside of the wings and hence increases the pressure between the lower surface of the wings and the sea surface, is known significantly to enhance the performance of the WIG concept by reducing the take-off and landing speeds. The aerodynamic characteristics of a 20 passenger PARWIG are investigated by wind tunnel tests with the 1/20 scale model. The efflux of the forward mounted propellers are simulated by jet flows with a blower and duct system. The lift, drag, and pitch moment of the model with various ground clearances, angles of attack and flap angles are measured for the various jet velocities, jet nozzle angles, horizontal and vertical positions of the nozzle, and the nozzle diameters. The aerodynamic characteristics of the PARWIG due to these parametric changes are compared and pertinent discussions are included. It is shown that the proper use of the PAR can increase the lift coefficient of as much as up to 4.

항공기에 사용되는 2차 조종면은 플랩, 탭, 스포일러 등 여러 종류가 있으며 이중 spoiler는 공력제어 기능을 가지고 항공기의 조종성에 영향을 미치는 조종면으로 속도 감속이나 옆놀이 조종용으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 비행제어용 spoiler 기능과 고양항력을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 장치인 고양항력 panel에 대한 공력특성 및 비행제어 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 이러한 고양항력 panel은 재래식인 spoiler가 양력을 감소시키고 항력만 증가시키는 장치인데 반하여 양력과 항력을 동시에 증가 시킬 수 있는 새로운 장치로서 날개의 앞전 윗면에 스팬방향으로 설치하여 슬롯효과를 발생시킴으로써 최대 양력 받음각에서 앞전에서의 박리를 막아 비행기의 착륙시 양력의 급작스러운 감소로 인한 불안정성을 감소시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 직사각형 날개 및 FA-200모형의 날개위에 고양항력 panel을 설치하여 풍동실험 및 수치계산을 한 결과를 기술하였다. 실험결과 직사각형 날개의 경우 고양항력 panel의 위치는 날개의 앞전에 설치할 경우 고받음각에서 실속지연의 효과와 함께 후방실속의 특성을 향상 시킬 수 있으며, 항력의 증가로 인한 스포일러 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 양항비특성은 고양항력 panel을 날개의 앞전에설치하고, 그폭이 시위의 1/5이고, 붙임각 ${\theta}$가 $10^{\circ}$, 높이가 시위의 3/20일때 받음각 $18^{\circ}$ 이후에서 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. FA-200 모형의 경우 옆놀이 모멘트계수는 받음각이 작을 때 고양항력 panel의 슬롯간격과 붙임각이 작을수록 커지나 받음각이 커지면 붙임각이 커짐에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있다. 또한 키놀이 모멘트계수는 크게 변화하지 않으나 항력 특성은 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 고양항력 panel의 붙임각이 큰 범위에서 (${\theta}$ =$10^{\circ}$) 공기력의 증가는 고양항력 panel의 시위가 날개시위의 30%이고 슬롯의 폭이 날개시위의 10%일때 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

A computational simulation for a nonslender BWB UCAV configuration with rounded leading edge and span of 1.0m was performed to analyze its aerodynamic characteristics. The freestream is 50m/s over -4 to 26 degree A.o.A.s. Reynolds number based on the mean chord length is $1.25{\times}10^6$. 3D multi block hexahedral grids are used which allow good grid quality and ease to capture boundary layer. ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model as well as $k-{\omega}$ SST model is employed to assess the effect of transition for flow behavior. Drag and lift of the UCAV were well predicted while $C_M$ is under predicted at high angle of attacks and influenced by the turbulence models strongly. After assessing pressure distribution, skin friction lines and velocity field around the UCAV configuration, it was found that transition effect should be considered to enhance the prediction of aerodynamic behavior by a vortical flowfield.
