본 연구에서는 CFD 해석 프로그램 EDISON_CFD를 통하여 2차 세계 대전에 소련에서 제작한 복엽기 AN-2의 기체를 기본 모델로 하여 설제 기체에 사용된 TSAGI P-II-14 airfoil를 이용, 기본 모델의 상단 주익과 미익은 고정하고 하단 주 날개의 위치를 변화시켜 공력특성을 분석하였다. 익형의 평행배치의 경우 기본모델에 비해 양력은 적은 크기로 증가하나 항력이 급격히 증가하여 가장 양항비가 낮은 비효율적인 공력 해석 결과를 보였고 복염기 하단 주익의 돌출은 상단 주익의 돌출에 비해 미세한 양력 감소와 항력 증가를 보여 양항비가 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 상, 하단 주익의 상하 간격이 커질수록 양력은 중가, 항력은 감소하며 간격이 작아질수록 양력의 감소와 항력의 증가를 보였다. 본 연구 해석 결과에 따라 순항조건에서의 익형은 상,하 주익간 수직 간격을 넓게 배치하는 것이 가장 효율적으로 볼 수 있다.

To investigate aerodynamic performance of high-lift devices, 2D design is the base of the success of high-lift system design for transport aircraft, which can shorten the periods of three-dimensional design and analysis. For the simulation coupled viscous and inviscous euler method (MSES) is used. In this parametric study, Gap and Overlap which can define position of flap is used as design variables and we investigale relation between angle of attack and flap position for lift enhancement.

The flow fields over multi-element airfoils with lift-enhancing flat-plate tabs were numerically investigated. Common choice of the height of the lift-enhancing tabs usually ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% of the reference airfoil chord, and in this study the effect of the position of the tab with l%-chord height was studied by varying the distance of the tab from the trailing edge ranging from 0.5% to 2% of the reference chord. In this paper, the effects of lift-enhancing tabs with various position were studied at a constant Reynolds number on a two-element airfoil with a slotted flap. Computed streamlines show that the additional turning caused by the tab reduces the amount of separated flow on the flap.

Wing is the most important part of aircraft which produces lift. In general when aircraft takes off or lands, high lift is required and additional devices are adopted in front and aft-side of wing, which constitute so-called multi element airfoils. The objective of this research is to develop a specialized grid generation program to help engineers in reducing human labor and eliminating time-consuming process for mesh regeneration by deforming the initially-given grid system with efficient deforming method. This paper describes briefly about the mesh deformation methods, and provides some results to verify the quality of deformed mesh and eventually correctness of current approach.

Gypsum blocks with sixteen flaws have been prepared and tested in uniaxial compression. Results from these experiments are compared with observations from the same material with two and three flaws. The results indicate that the cracking pattern observed in specimens wish multiple flaws is analogous to the pattern obtained in specimens with two and three flaws such as initiation and propagation of wing, and secondary cracks and coalescence. Wing cracks initiate at an angle with the flaw and propagate in a stable manner towards the direction of maximum compression. Secondary cracks initiate and propagate in a stable manner. As the load is increased, secondary cracks may propagate in an unstable manner and produce coalescence. Two types of secondary cracks are observed: quasi-coplanar, and oblique secondary cracks. Coalescence is produced by the linkage of two flaws: wing and/or secondary cracks. From the sixteen flaws test, four types of coalescence are observed. Observed types of coalescence and initiation stress of wing and secondary crackle depend on flaw geometries, such as spacing, continuity, flaw inclination angle, ligament angle, and steppings.

Ice accretion on the aircraft components, such as wings, fuselage, and empennage, can occur when the aircraft encounters a cloud zone with high humidity and low temperature. The prevention of ice accretion is important because it causes a decrease in the aerodynamic performance and flight stability, thus leading to fatal safety problems. In this study, a shape design optimization of a multi-element airfoil is performed to minimize the amount of ice accretion on the high-lift device including leading-edge slat, main element, and trailing-edge flap. The design optimization framework proposed in this paper consists of four major parts: air flow, droplet impingement and ice accretion simulations and gradient-free optimization algorithm. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation is used to predict the aerodynamic performance and flow field around the multi-element airfoil at the angle of attack 8°. Droplet impingement and ice accretion simulations are conducted using the multi-physics computational analysis tool. The objective function is to minimize the total mass of ice accretion and the design variables are the deflection angle, gap, and overhang of the flap and slat. Kriging surrogate model is used to construct the response surface, providing rapid approximations of time-consuming function evaluation, and genetic algorithm is employed to find the optimal solution. As a result of optimization, the total mass of ice accretion on the optimized multielement airfoil is reduced by about 8% compared to the baseline configuration.

Study on the feasibility assessment for applying the overlap grid method to numerical calculations on the ground effect has been performed. The objective of the present study is to settle the problem in the grid generation process. A low Mach number preconditioned turbulent flow solver using the overlap grid and the multi-block grid methods has been developed and applied to the ground effect simulation around the RAE 101 airfoil. It has been verified that the overlap grid method not only can provide sufficiently accurate solutions but also work out the grid generation problem in the ground effect simulations.

In the present research, a parametric study of aerodynamic characteristics for multi-element airfoils is performed. The major geometric parameters of interest are the gap distance between airfoils and relative deflection angle of slat/flap. The present results are mainly obtained by using inviscid flow calculation, and the aerodynamic characteristics are focused on the surface pressure distribution and the lifts. The results of the present research may be used as not only qualitative data but also quantitative data for small angle of attack flows, where the viscous effect does not play major role in terms of surface pressure distribution and lifts. A further research in this subject including viscous calculation and more geometric parameters is to be performed in the future.
