The geometry of a commercial passenger airplane is realized based on a Boeing 747-400 model through the photographic scanning and reverse engineering. The each element consisting of the plane such as fuselage, wing, vertical fin, stabilizer and engines, is individually generated and then the whole body is assembled by the photomodeler. The maximum error in the realized airplane is about 1.4% comparing with the real one. The three-dimensional inviscid steady compressible governing equations are solved in the unstructured tetrahedron grid system, and in a finite volume method using STAR-CD when the airplane flies at the cruise condition. The pressure distribution on the surface and the wing-tip vortices are visualized, and in addition to the aerodynamics coefficients, lift and drag are estimated.

In this study, we investigate the effects of slots installed on the tip of a rotor blade on aerodynamic characteristics. The slots weaken the strength and spatial coherence of the tip vortex at early vortex age and accelerate the dissipation of the generated tip vortex. Accordingly, the turbulence intensity of the rotor wake is reduced at both near and far wake, which leads to a reduction in broadband noise. Tonal noise is also reduced by mitigation of tip vortices, but tonal noise reduction is limited to a narrower range of azimuths than broadband noise due to the extinction of tip vortices. In addition, slots reduce both mean thrust and thrust fluctuations. Reduction in thrust fluctuations leads to a reduction in blade loading noise, resulting in a reduction in tonal noise.

In most industry fields concerning external flow noise problems, the hybrid computational aeroacoustic techniques based on the FW-H (Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings) equation are widely used for its numerical efficiency. However, when the surface integral form of FW-H equation is used without volume quadrupole sources, it is known to generate significant non-physical noise in a certain case. Especially, in the case of a flow in which the tip vortex cavitation is formed in the distant downstream direction such as flow driven by an underwater propeller, the accuracy in noise prediction becomes poor unless it is not properly modelled. Therefore, in this study, the nonphysical acoustic waves caused by the surface integral form of FW-H equation is reduced by adding the quadrupole correction term. First, to verify the accuracy of the in-house code of FW-H equation, the noise by an axial fan used in the outdoor unit of air conditioner was calculated and compared with the results of ANSYS Fluent. In order to verify the effects of the quadrupole correction term, the noise prediction for isentropic vortex convection is performed and it is confirmed that the error is reduced by the quadrupole correction term. Finally, the noise prediction is performed for the flow field generated by the Clark-Y hydrofoil in underwater. It is confirmed that the error caused by the cavitation passing through the integral surface can be reduced by the quadrupole correction term.

In this paper, an empirical formula to estimate the steering gear torque of a Tanker with a horn type rudder was developed by using the statistical analysis. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the horn type rudder in the free-stream condition were calculated by using the modified lifting line theory by Molland, and the interaction effects by propeller and hull were analyzed by the regression analysis of the sea-trial data of 32 vessels. The comparison with the delivered vessels' data shows that the formula can be used for predicting the steering gear torque at the initial design stage.

The optimal design is needed for the blade geometry of the quad-rotor blades which is mainly used for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. To do this, it is important to analyze the wakes under the blades. In the present study, the flow around the rotating blades was analyzed using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics). The maximum axial velocity was measured at about 60% position toward the radial direction of the blade. The positions of vorticities in the test section obtained by PIV and CFD were turned out to be almost alike. The values in the difference of pressure coefficients at the upper and the lower blades were increased depending on the radial direction. Then, the values were decreased at the blade tip. The data of the flow analysis in the present study are expected to be served as the design of blades and ducts for the thrust improvement in the future.

본 연구는 무인 헬리콥터의 양력을 개선하기 위한 기초 단계로서 V1505A 및 V2008B 기본 두 익형의 400 mm 블레이드 섹션에 해당하는 모델에 대한 풍동실험을 실시하여 양력, 항력 및 동력특성을 분석하고 CFD 시뮬레이션의 결과와 비교하고 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션은 풍동 실험과 유사하게 설정하기 위하여 400 mm 블레이드 섹션의 양 끝을 벽으로 제한하여 3차원 와류현상을 억제하여 모델을 구성하였고, 시뮬레이션의 결과와 비교하여 모델을 검증하였다. 사용된 모델은 로터로부터 $Re=0.32{\times}10^6$ 영역까지는 aminar 모델을 사용하였으며, 그 이후 영역역(>$Re=0.32{\times}10^6$)은 양력 및 저항의 급격한 변화를 올바로 포착할 수 있다는 S-A 모델을 적용하여 확장하였다. 시뮬레이션의 격자는 유동 현상에 있어 박리로 야기된 와류 현상을 관찰하기 위하여 익형 주변에 접하는 부분에 격자를 집중시켰다. 시뮬레이션 방법은 유속은 36~141 m/s 까지 5 수준으로 하였으며, 받음각은 $0{\sim}16^{\circ}$로 7 수준으로 변화 시키면서 공력계수 및 동력을 분석하였다. 양력분석에 있어 익형 V1505A에 비해 익형 V2008B의 특성이 우수하였으나, 익형 V1505A는 실속 이후 양력이 급격히 떨어지지 않고 유지되는 특성을 보였다. 익형 V2008B는 낮은 받음각에서 높은 공력과 낮은 항력을 나타냈다. 동력 분석 결과로 익형 V1505A의 유도동력은 총 동력의 56~72%를 차지하고, 형상동력은 총 동력의 27~43%를 차지하였다. 익형 V2008B는 유도동력은 총 동력의 66~81%를 차지하고, 형상동력은 총 동력의 18~33%를 차지하였다. 익형 V2008B이 익형 V1505A보다 유도동력은 크며, 형상동력은 적게 나와 상대적으로 효율적이라 할 수 있다. 헬리콥터 동력원의 규모는 법률적인 총중량에 의하여 제한되므로 일반적인 농용 소형 무인 헬리콥터 엔진의 사양인 24.5 kW (32PS)를 적용한다면, 익형 V1505A은 받음각 $8{\sim}10^{\circ}$에서 그리고 익형 V2008B은 $7{\sim}9^{\circ}$정도에서 받음각이 제한되며 이때 총 양력은 1200~1300 N 정도로 예상된다.

In this study, a numerical analysis was performed on 26 inch single and coaxial propeller using the ANSYS Fluent 19.0 Solver to analyse the effect of the distance between coaxial propellers as one of the design parameter. The Moving Reference Frame (MRF) method was used for single propeller, while the sliding mesh method was used for a coaxial propeller to analyse the flow field varying with azimuth angle. The thrust and power are decreased as the upper and lower propeller approaching each other. As H/D is increased, interference between the propellers is decreased. According to the flow field variable contour of the coaxial propeller, it appears that the change in aerodynamic performance is due to the loading effect and the tip vortex wake effect.

Drag reduction of a running vehicle is very important issue for the energy savings and emission reduction of its power train. Especially for a solar powered electric vehicle, the drag reduction and weight lightening are two serious problems to be solved to extend its driving distance under the given energy condition. In this study, the ground effect of an airfoil shaped road vehicle was studied for an optimum body design of an ultra-light solar powered electric vehicle. Clark-Y airfoil type was adopted to the body shape of the model vehicle to reduce aerodynamic drag. From the study, it was found that the drag of the model vehicle was reduced as the height(h) between ground and the lower surface of the model vehicle was decreased. It is due to the reduction of the down-wash decreasing the induced drag of the vehicle. The lift was also decreased as the height decreased. It is due to the turbulent boundary layer developed beneath the vehicle body. The drag is classified into two types; the form and friction drag. The fraction of form drag to friction one is 76 to 24 on the model vehicle. As the height(h) of the model vehicle from the ground surface increases the form drag also increases but the friction drag is in reverse.
