Considerable fuel in cars is consumed by air resistance. The flow resistance against the air stream was analyzed by flow analysis near the passenger car body. In this study, the models were used were cars available on the real market. Two velocities entered into inlet plane of flow were 80 km/h and 110 km/h using the flow analysis of CFX. As the study method, the velocity of air flow near the car and the pressure on the rear part of car body were investigated at the driving of car. The shapes of the study models were models 1 and 2, and the flow streams were four cases of 1, 2, 3, and 4. In case 1 among the four cases, the maximum pressure ($1.017{\times}10^5Pa$) on the rear part was highest and the maximum velocity (43.81m/s) of air flow near car body was fastest. The air drag force in the case of high speed (110km/h) driving a passenger car was higher than that of a normal driving speed (80km/h). The drag force at wide section area of the car body becomes higher than the narrow section area. The shape of the car body can be effectively designed to reduce the air resistance using the study results of this analysis.

In the present paper, the hydrodynamic characteristics of three dimensional hydrofoils moving with a constant speed below the free surface using a higher-order boundary element method based on 9-node Lagrangian curvilinear elements are investigated. A bi-quadratic spline scheme is employed to improve the numerical results on the free surface. To validate the present scheme, the calculated results are compared with the analytic solutions for a submerged sphere and a spheroid showing a good agreement. For the validation of the hydrofoil study, the computed lift and drag of a hydrofoil having $NACA64_{1}A412$ section with aspect ratio(A.R.) of 4 are compared with the experimental data by Wadlin et al.[28]. The comparison covers a number of variations of angle of attack and submergence depth. Then, using an A.R. hydrofoil with NACA0012 section, the free surface on the lift and drag are investigated and these are compared with the previous results. The wave elevations and patterns created by the aforementioned submerged bodies are also investigated with Froude numbers and submergences.

The objective of present study is to investigate the sensitivity of aerostatic force coefficients of twin box girder of Yi Sun-sin Bridge according to the Reynolds numbers. This paper presents the 1:30 scale sectional model tests conducted at high speed wind tunnel in Korea Air Force Academy. Comparison with results at low Reynolds number obtained in KOCED Wind Tunnel Center in Chonbuk National University is also provide. The Reynolds number dependency of aerodynamic force coefficients were observed at present streamlined twin box girder. The drag coefficient revealed significant decrease of nearby 23% at supercritical region. The boundary layer trip strip was found to reduce the Reynolds number dependency of aerodynamic forces by fixing the location of flow transition.

In-flight icing is a critical technical issue for aircraft safety and, in particular, ice accretions on aircraft surfaces can drastically impair aerodynamic performances and control authority. In order to investigate icing effects on the aerodynamic characteristics of KC-100 aircraft, a state-of-the-art CFD code, FENSAP-ICE, was used. A main wing section and full configuration of KC-100 aircraft were considered for the icing analysis. Also, shapes of iced area were calculated for the design of anti-/de-icing devices. The iced areas around leading edge of main wing and horizontal tail wing were observed maximum 7.07% and 11.2% of the chord length of wing section, respectively. In case of wind shield, 16.7% of its area turned out to be covered by ice. The lift of KC-100 aircraft were decreased to 64.3%, while the drag was increased to 55.2%.

Wind tunnel test results and their interpretations focused on the behavior of girder, which were performed to study the aerodynamic stability of a self-anchored suspension bridge with lateral sag of main cable, are presented in this paper The shape of the girder which has the best aerodynamic stability was selected based on the section model test under uniform and turbulent flow conditions. Good performance of the selected section was confirmed in the full bridge model test. Measured flutter derivatives are presented for further study. Buffeting response was investigated to check the fatigue problem and serviceability of the bridge but it was found to be acceptable from the engineering point of view. Even though the drag coefficient of the girder had high value, the amplitude of the lateral vibration was found to be very low. This may be due to the restraint provided by the lateral sag of the cables.

Human-powered aircraft has wings with a shape of high aspect ratio which results in large bending displacement. This paper aims to improve the structural limitation by changing an incidence angle of the wings. The tendency change of bending displacement at the wing tip is observed assuming that airfoil and cross-sectional shape of the wing is fixed, and amount of the total lift generated is satisfied. Quasi-steady lift, drag and the aerodynamic moment are distributed with regard to sections of the wing. Those are analyzed using a numerical nonlinear lifting-line method and 'geometrically exact beam' (GEB) program in EDISON. 'Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis' (VABS) program is used to check if the present wing is structurally solid. Furthermore, the predicted tip deflections are verified by comparing with DYMORE.

홍수 시 하천을 따라 유하되는 유송잡물(잡목, 생활쓰레기 등)은 구조물에 집적이 이루어지며 이로 인해 물의 흐름을 방해하고 구조물 주변의 지반을 약화시키거나 월류로 인해 심각한 피해를 야기 시킨다. 교량의 경우 유송잡물의 집적은 교각의 항력을 증가시켜 전도파괴를 유발시킬 수 있으며, 교각주변 흐름교란을 통한 하상세굴로 인해 기초부를 파괴시키기도 한다. 또한 통수단면적 증가로 인해 높아진 수위는 제방을 월류시켜 재산 및 인명피해를 유발하기도 한다. 암거의 경우 유송잡물을 포함한 토사로 인해 단면폐색 및 침식으로 암거의 파괴를 발생시키고 이로인해 도로의 단절을 가져오기도 한다. 이러한 유송잡물에 대한 차단대책은 현재 까지 유지관리를 통한 방법만이 최선책으로 제시되고 있다. 본 연구는 국외에서 소개되고 있는 유송잡물 피해저감시설을 대상으로 축소모형실험을 통해 효과를 확인하고 이를 통해 저감시설의 효율에 대해 소개하고자 하는 것이 주목적이다. 유송잡물 저감시설은 교량의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 우회말뚝 방법, 스위퍼를 이용한 방법으로 소개하고 있으며 이들 방법의 특징은 유송잡물 우회를 통해 집적을 저감하는 방식이다. 암거의 경우 수직분리대 방법, 스크린 방법, 우회스크린을 이용하는 방법 등이 있으며 수직분리대는 교량과 마찬가지로 우회방식을 기본방식으로 스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 차단을 원칙으로 하고 있다. 실험의 결과는 교량과 암거의 차단시설 유무에 따른 유송잡물의 집적률을 대상으로 하였다. 차단시설이 없는 경우 교량에서의 집적률은 97.9% ~ 99.2%의 집적률로 나타났다. 수직분리대의 경우 유송잡물 집적률은 49.3%, 우회말뚝은 0.0% ~ 4.2%의 범위로 매우 높은 차단효과를 보이고 있었다. 스위퍼방식의 경우 집적률은 5.3% ~ 20.9%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 판단하였을 때 차단시설 설치로 인한 교량에 대한 직접적인 차단효과는 수직분리대 < 스위퍼 < 우회말뚝 순으로 높은 차단효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 우회말뚝에서의 집적률이 한계치를 넘어선다면 유송잡물로 인해 흐름교란, 수위 및 하상변동, 말뚝의 유실 등으로 인한 피해가 예상된다. 암거대상 유송잡물 차단시설 실험결과는 수직분리대의 경우 type과 투하방법에 따라 차이가 있지만 집적률은 14.7% ~ 64.9%의 범위로 나타났다. 스크린과 우회스크린 방식은 유송잡물의 우회가 아닌 차단이 목적이므로 유송잡물 집적에 의한 수위상승이 우려되는바 수위영향을 검토하였다. 검토결과 스크린 설치로 인한 수위상승이 우회스크린보다 높게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 스크린의 형태적인 측면에서 2면을 통해 집적되는 특성을 갖는 우회스크린이 통수단면적을 많이 확보하기 때문이다. 따라서 국부적인 수위상승으로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위해서는 설치여건이 허용된다면 통수단면적 확보가 유리한 우회스크린 설치가 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Studies of unsteady-airfoil flows have been motivated mostly by efforts to avoid. or reduce such undesirable effects as flutter, noise and vibrations, dynamic stall. In this paper, we carry out a computational study of viscous flows around a two-dimensional oscillating airfoil to investigate unsteady effects in these important and challenging flows. A fully implicit incompressible RANS solver has been used for calculating unsteady viscous flows around an airfoil. The cell-centered End order finite volume method is utilized to discretize governing equations. in order to ease the flow computation for fluid region changing in time, improve the qualify of solution and simplify the grid generation for an oscillating airfoil flow, the computational method adopts a moving and deforming grid generation technique based on the multi-block grid topology. The numerical method is applied for calculating viscous flows of an oscillating NACA 0012 in uniform flow. The computational results are compared with available experimental data. Computed results are compared with experimental data and flow characteristics of the experiment are reproduced well In the computed results.

In this paper, numerical calculations are performed to analyze the unsteady flow of NACA airfoil sections. In order to ease the flow computation for the fluid region changing in time, improve the quality of solution and simplify the grid generation for the oscillating foil flow, the computational method adopts a moving and deforming mesh with the multi-block grid topology. The multi-block, structured-unstructured hybrid grid is generated using the commercial meshing software Gridgen V15. The MDM (Moving & Deforming Mesh) and the UDF (User Define function) function of FLUENT 6 are adopted for computing turbulent flows of the foil in pitching motion. Computed unsteady lift and drag forces are compared with experimental data. in general, the characteristics of unsteady lift and drag of the experiments are reproduced well in the numerical analysis.

Recently, the erosion due to cavitation frequently occurs on a horn-type rudder of a high-speed large container carrier. It is necessary to understand the flow characteristics around a rudder in fully wetted and cavitating flow condition, and the process of generation and collapse of cavitation for a rudder design to minimize the cavity-induced erosion. The flow characteristics around a two-dimensional hydrofoil(NACA66) are investigated through the computational method utilizing a viscous flow theory applied to a cavitation model. The computational results from the viscous flow theory are verified by the comparison with the experimental results, and are compared with those from the potential flow theory. The effects of angle of attack, Reynolds number, cavitation number, and thickness ratio on the cavitating flow are also investigated.
