In this study, a flow analysis is carried out on the wing shape of cooling fan at automobile. By designing three kinds of Canival, Teracan and basic models with CATIA program, this analysis is done on the configuration of cooling fan with the same flow condition. It can be seen that the contour of flow velocity is changed due to the model of wing and the pressure distribution of fluid is changed due to the configuration or the area of wing. In case of cooling model of Teracan among three models, there is the most air flow and it can be thought to be most effective to cool the radiator. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.

This paper deals with both experimental and theoretical methods for performance prediction of asymmetric stater propulsion systems which have been used for the purpose of recovery of a propeller slipstream rotational energy due to a stator located in front of the propeller. Using the developed computer code based on the lifting surface theory, theortical investigation on the interaction between the stator and the propeller is provided in order to obtain general insight on the performance characteristics of the propulsion systems in uniform and non-uniform flow. Such theoretical calculations have end agreements with model Inset results. The asymmetric stator would give an efficiency gain of about 6% to the compound propulsor system compared with the single propeller system.

자연하천은 직선하천보다 만곡하천으로 존재하는 경우가 많다. 하천의 만곡부에서 2차류 흐름과 나선형 흐름, 원심력이 수충부와 외측제방에 작용하여 하상에 국부적인 세굴이 발생한다. 세굴이 발생하게 되면 수충부나 외측제방에 붕괴나 피해가 일어날 수 있다. 세굴의 피해를 줄이고 만곡부유로를 조정하기 위해 날개형 수제를 설치할 수 있다. 날개형 수제를 설치한 하상은 수제의 두께, 길이, 높이, 간격, 위치, 배열 등에 따라 다르게 반응한다. 본 연구에서는 만곡 개수로에 잠긴 날개형 수제를 설치할 때 만곡 외측에서 수제 열까지의 거리가 만곡부의 유심선 변화에 미치는 영향을 이동상 개수로 수리실험으로 조사하였다. 이동상 수리실험은 폭 1.16 m, 깊이 1 m, 길이 24 m인 90° 만곡 개수로에 d₅₀이 3.3mm인 잔자갈을 깔아 하상경사 1/300로 정리한 후 수제를 설치하는 순서로 이루어졌다. 수제는 폭 20mm, 길이 70mm의 직사각형 단면 목재로 제작하여 설치하였고, 실험별 이격거리는 외측 제방으로부터 8.4 cm, 14 cm, 19.6 cm로 하였다. 실험유량은 140l/s로 3시간 동안 흘린 뒤 하상측정장치를 이용하여 주요 횡단면별 하상고를 측정하였다. 측정한 데이터를 이용하여 최심하상고의 크기와 위치, 유심선의 변화 등을 분석하였다.

In this study, the visualization of the unsteady flow field of a Weis-Fogh-type water turbine was investigated using particle-image velocimetry. The visualization experiments were performed in a parameter range that provided relatively high-efficiency wing conditions, that is, at a wing opening angle ${\alpha}=40^{\circ}$ and at a velocity ratio of the uniform flow to the moving wing U/V = 1.5~2.5. The flow fields at the opening, translational, and closing stages were investigated for each experimental parameter. In the opening stage, the fluid was drawn in between the wing and wall at a velocity that increased with an increase in the opening angle and velocity ratio. In the translational stage, the fluid on the pressure face of the wing moved in the direction of the wing motion, and the boundary layer at the back face of the wing was the thinnest and had a velocity ratio of 2.0. In the closing stage, the fluid between the wing and wall was jetted at a velocity that increased as the opening angle decreased; however, the velocity was independent of the velocity ratio.

This paper presents a validation of the accuracy of a reduced order model(ROM) and the efficiency of the design optimization using a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition(POD) to transonic wing/fuselage system. Three dimensional Euler equations are solved to extrude snapshot data of the full order aerodynamic analysis, and then a set of POD basis vectors reproducing the behavior of flow around the wing/fuselage system is calculated from these snapshots. In this study, reduced order model constructed through this procedure is applied to several validation cases, and then it is confirmed that the ROM has the capability of the prediction of flow field in the space of interest. Additionally, after the design optimization of the wing/fuselage system with the ROM is performed, results of the ROM are compared with results of the design optimization using response surface model(RSM). From these, it can be confirmed that the design optimization with the ROM is more efficient than RSM.

In this paper, nonlinear finite element analysis is performed to ensure structural safety and to suggest the design improvement of wing-to-fuselage joint of the KSR-III rocket. In the joint, wings are attached to fuselage by fitting wing attachment part into the groove on the fuselage frame, and load transfer between wing and fuselage frame is accomplished mainly throug the contact of two members as well as fastening bolts. The careful finite element modeling has been proposed for the purpose of analyzing problems with relatively complicated load path. The detailed bolt modeling is conducted and GAP elemets are used to simulate contact problem between joined members and bolts. The suggested design improvement is verified by structural testing and the analysis results are compared with test results.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the flow field around the wing having a circular damage hole. The damage was represented by a circular hole passing through the model with 10% airfoil chord diameter and normal to the chord. The hole was centered at quarter or half chord. The PIV flow fields and static pressure measurements on the wing upper and lower surface were carried out at Rec=2.85×105 based on the chord length. The PIV results showed the two types of flow structures around a damage hole were formed. The first one was a weak jet that formed an attached wake behind the damage hole. The second one resulted from increased incidence; this was a strong jet where the flow through the hole penetrates into the free-stream resulting in extensive separation of oncoming boundary layer flow and development of a separated wake with reverse flow. The surface pressure data showed a big pressure alteration near the circular damage hole. The severity of pressure alteration was increased as a damage hole located nearer to the leading edge.

Aircraft fuel efficiency is one of main concerns to aircraft manufacturers and to aviation companies because jet fuel price has tripled in last ten years. One of simple and effective methods to increase fuel efficiency is to reduce aircraft induced drag by using of wingtip devices. Induced drag is closely related to the circulation distribution, which produces strong wingtip vortex behind the tip of a finite wing. Wingtip devices including winglets can be successfully applied to reduce induced drag by wingtip vortex mitigation. Winglet design, however, is very complicated process and has to consider many parameters including installation position, height, taper ratio, sweepback, airfoil, toe-out angle and cant angle of winglets. In current research, different shapes of winglets are compared in the view of vortex mitigation. Appropriately designed winglets are proved to mitigate wingtip vortex and to increase lift to drag ratio. Also, the results show that winglets are more efficient than wingtip extension. That is the reason B-747-400 and B-737-800 chose winglets instead of a span increase to increase payload and range. Drag polar comparison chart is presented to show that minimum drag is increased by viscous drag of winglet, but at high lift, total drag is reduced by induced drag decrease. So, winglets are more efficient for aircraft that cruises at a high lift condition, which generates very strong wingtip vortex.

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, well known high specific strength and high specific stiffness, have been widely used in the aircraft industry. Mostly the CFRP structure is fabricated by lamination of carbon fiber or carbon prepreg, which has major disadvantage called delamination. Delamination is usually produced due to absence of the through-thickness direction fiber. In this study, three-dimensional carbon preform woven in three directions is used for fabrication of aircraft wing unit structure, a part of repeated structure in aircraft wing. The unit structure include skin, stringer and rib were prepared by resin transfer molding method. After, the 3D structure was compared with laminate structure through compression test. The results show that 3D structure is not only effective to prevent delamination but improved the mechanical strength. Therefore, the 3d preform structure is expected to be used in various fields requiring delamination prevention, especially in the aircraft industry.
