유동 교란에 의하여 균일유동이 아닌 자유류가 항공기 날개 표면을 지나면 공력 계수들이 균일 자유류 유동과는 달라진다. 예를 들어, 항공기들의 편대 비행에서 앞의 항공기가 생성한 후류가 뒷 항공기에 영향을 주고, 두 개의 주익을 가지는 Tandem Wing 항공기의 경우 첫 번째 주익에서 발생된 후류가 두 번째 주익의 공력에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 NACA0012 익형의 앞쪽에 또 다른 익형을 배치하여 앞 쪽의 익형에서 발생한 후류가 뒤의 익형에 미치는 영향을 익형 사이의 거리에 따라 분석하였다. 앞쪽의 익형에서 발생한 압력계수와 뒤쪽에서 발생한 압력계수의 비교를 통해 후류의 효과가 어떤 영향을 끼치는지 확인 하였고, 두 익형 사이의 거리가 2c일 때 후류의 영향이 거의 없음을 확인 하였다.

In this study, a numerical analysis based on CFD methods has been conducted to predict the aerodynamic coefficients and aerodynamic loads of KSLV-II configuration designed at the system design phase. By the effects of exclusion of engine cowls of prior configuration, axial force and normal force decreased and center of pressure was much moved to the nose direction. Also, aerodynamic loads at flight and on the launch pad were predicted for structural load analysis. The computed results will be used for mission analysis and structural analysis at the next design phase.

In this study the aerodynamic characteristics of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins were investigated by using a semi-empirical method and a CFD code. The mean aerodynamic coefficients for the rolling and roll damping moments were first calculated and then used to predict the roll-rate of freely spinning tailfins. The calculation of roll-rate in the CFD code was carried out by combining a Chimera overset grid system and 6-DOF analysis module. The predicted roll-rate was in good agreement with the experimental data for the roll and yaw canard control inputs. It was also shown that the results are in good agreement with the prediction by a CFD code. This indicates that the semi-empirical method can be used to predict the roll-rate of a canard-controlled missile with freely spinning tailfins.

초임계 익형은 천음속 영역에서 비행하는 상업용 민간 항공기와 전투기 날개의 공력성능을 향상시키기 위해 Whitcomb R. T.가 제안 하였다. 초임계 익형은 상부표면을 평평하게 디자인하여 임계마하수보다 큰 마하수에서 나타나는 익형 주위의 충격파 출현을 지연시킴으로써 항력을 줄일 수 있고, 상부 표면의 평면 설계로 인한 양력 감소를 보정하기 위하여 하부 표면의 꼬리부분에 캠버가 있는 형상을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD를 이용하여, 초임계 익형의 공력특성을 해석하고 Xfoil의 data와 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 초임계 익형의 형상을 변경하여 두께와 뒷전 캠버가 다른 초임계 익형을 설계하였다. 새로운 초임계 익형의 형상은 상용 프로그램 Maple12을 이용하여 Whitcomb Integral Supercritical Airfoil의 형상을 수정하여 구할 수 있다. 초임계 익형 주위의 유동을 2D압축성 유동으로 가정하고 EDISON CFD의 2D_Comp-2.0 솔버를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 교육 및 연구를 위한 CFD 해석 프로그램인 EDISON_CFD 프로그램을 이용하여 화물 트럭의 후면부 형상변화에 따른 공력특성을 분석해보았다. 먼저 추가적인 부착물을 장착하지 않은 기본적인 형상의 화물트럭의 공력특성을 확인 후, 후면부에 여러 형상의 Boat tail(보트 테일)과 전면부에 Cap-roof fairing(캡루프 페어링)이 부착된 형상을 해석하여 트럭이 받는 항력 감소를 통해 최적형상을 찾아가는 연구를 수행하였다. Cap-roof fairing이 부착된 형상에서 $15^{\circ}$의 특성길이가 0.3인 Boat tail에서 가장 좋은 항력 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. Cap-roof fairing의 경우 6%의 항력 계수 감소를 보였고, Boat tail에서 20%의 항력 계수 감소효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. Boat tail의 각도와 길이를 변수로 하여 여러 해석을 진행한 결과 최적화된 형상을 선정할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a method for estimating static aerodynamic derivatives by analyzing data obtained from the flying quality evaluation test of a small canard aircraft. The aerodynamic derivatives extracted from maximum likelihood estimation method and from the proposed method in this paper are compared in the same polt. Reliable static aerodynamic derivatives were extracted from a limited number of the flight tests by the proposed method. The parameter data obtained from this method can be used as reference for the conventional parameter identification methods such as maximum likelihood estimation method.

Flow computations around forward sweep wing small aircraft have been conducted in this study. The main-wing of the forward-wing small aircraft is composed of two planforms: the inboard wing section with backward sweep angle which is known as strake and the outboard wing section with forward sweep angle. The geometrical discontinuity or kink generated by the combination of these two different planforms requires detailed flow analysis around wing. Four different solvers were used to calculate aerodynamic data and the accuracy of each method is examined. For the convenience of grid generation over the aircraft geometry, the overset grid method was applied. Through this calculation, the basic aerodynamic data of the forward-wing aircraft were provided and the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing is expounded.

Wind tunnel testing to construct static aerodynamic database of KF-16 was conducted for preceding research of design of experiments in wind tunnel testing. The test model is KF-16 scaled 1/33 and it has horizontal tail, flaperon, and rudder. The experiments consist of one experiment for analyzing aerodynamic coefficients under whether or not horizontal tail is present and four experiments for analyzing aerodynamic coefficients of changes of deflection angle in control surface which are flap, flaperon, rudder, and horizontal tail. After conducting wind tunnel testing, the experimental results show that the control surface changes have a great effect on Aerodynamic characteristics.

In the present study, the effect of pitch amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of a NACA 0012 airfoil is numerically investigated. When the frequency ratio is equal to 1.0, airfoil pitching with 20 and 30 degrees of pitch amplitude shows almost small lift generation, but the lift is significantly increased in case of 10-degree pitch amplitude. When the frequency is 0.5, the lift coefficients have large values, and the lift increases with a decrease in pitch amplitude. When the frequency ratio is 1.0, the airfoil generates large thrust. The thrust decreases as the pitch amplitude decreases. When the frequency ratio is 0.5, drag is generated for the 30-degree pitch amplitude, but the thrust is generated for 10-degree pitch amplitude. In future, the effect of heave amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of the airfoil will be studied.
