본 연구에서는 국내 10MW급 기력발전소의 소형 터빈 로터에 대한 응력 해석을 실시하였다. 터빈 로터의 기하학적 형상, 증기의 온도 및 압력 등의 기동조건 변화, 로터 재료의 온도에 따른 물성값 등을 고려하여 대류 열 전달계수를 계산하는 사용자 부프로그램을 구성하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 열해석을 실시하여 로터의 온도 분포를 결정하였다. 이 온도분포 조건에서 시간 경과에 따른 열응력 해석을 실시하여 로터의 응력 분포를 결정하였으며 그 결과 취약부위에서의 응력변동 범위 및 가동중 정상상태 응력수준을 결정하였다. 이 취약부위의 응력값과 운전이력을 이용하여 크리프 수명과 피로수명을 계산하고 로터의 잔여수명을 결정하는 방법을 논의하였다.

The purpose of current study is to develop the rotor analysis solver and perform a rotor aerodynamic analysis in the wind fence. To this end, the rotor analysis solver based on actuator disk model was employed. To consider the asymmetric effect of the rotor in the wind fence, the flapping motion analysis was conducted with blade element theory for the effective angle of attack calculation. The validation cases which are the rotor with wall and ground were accomplished by developed solver. The decrease of rotor performance by wind fence was confirmed. The wind fence configuration was suggested which guarantees more than 95% rotor performance compared with the no fence case.

The purpose of current study is to develop and verify the newly developed solver for analyzing rotor flow using the open-source code. The algorithm of standard solver, OpenFOAM, is improved to analyze the rotor inflow with and without fuselage. For the calculation of the rotor thrust, the virtual blade method based on the blade element method is employed. The inflow velocities on the rotor disk used to specify the effective angle of attack, have been included in the solver. The results of the current rotor inflow analysis are verified by comparing with other experimental and numerical results. It was confirmed that the modified solver provides satisfactory results for rotor-fuselage interaction problem.

Performance and hub vibratory load analyses for a lift-offset coaxial rotor are conducted using a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis code, CAMRAD II. The lift-offset coaxial rotor is trimmed to match the total rotor thrust(lift-offset coaxial rotor's thrust) or the individual rotor thrust(upper and lower rotor thrusts, respectively) in this study. The individual rotor's lift and torque, and effective rotor lift to drag ratio for the total rotor are investigated for various advance ratios and lift-offset values. The two result sets with different trim methods are similar to each other and they are correlated well with the wind-tunnel test results. Therefore, the present study using CAMRAD II validates successfully the aeromechanics modeling and analysis techniques for the lift-offset coaxial rotor.

가동중인 터빈로터의 계속운전/보수/교체여부 등을 판단하기 위해 해외에서는 결정론적 방법외에 확률론적 파괴역학 해석방법을 이용하여 잔여수명을 평가하고 있다. 한편 국내에서는 현재까지 결정론적 방법을 주로 활용하고 있으며, 향후 확률론적 평가방법의 도입이 예상된다. 이러한 배경에서 본 논문에서는 터빈로터의 수명평가에 확률론적 파괴역학 해석기법을 이용하기 위한 기초연구로 터빈로터를 대상으로 응력해석, 결정론적 파괴해석 및 확률론적 파괴해석을 수행하였다.

This numerical study conducts the modeling and the hover performance analyses of coaxial co-rotating rotor(or stacked rotor), using a rotorcraft comprehensive analysis code, CAMRAD II. The important design parameters such as the index angle and axial spacing for the coaxial co-rotating rotor are varied in this simulation study. The coaxial co-rotating rotor is trimmed using the torque value of the upper rotor of the previous coaxial counter-rotating rotor or the total thrust value of the previous coaxial counter-rotating rotor in hover. The maximum increases in the rotor thrust is 1.84% for the index angle of -10° when using the torque trim approach. In addition, the maximum decreases in the rotor power is 4.53% for the index angle of 20° with the thrust trim method. Thus, the present study shows that the hover performance of the coaxial co-rotating rotor for e-VTOL aircraft can be changed by the index angle.

To numerically simulate aerodynamics of rotor-airframe interaction in a rigorous manner, we need to solve the Navier-Stokes system for a rotor-airframe combination in a single computational domain. This imposes a computational burden since rotating blades and a stationary body have to be simultaneously dealt with. An efficient alternative is a momentum source method in which the action of rotor is approximated as momentum source in a stationary mesh system built around the airframe. This makes the simulation much easier. The magnitude of the momentum source is usually evaluated by the blade element theory, which often results in a poor accuracy. In the present work, we evaluate the momentum source from the simulation data by using the Navier-Stokes equations only for a rotor system. Using this data, we simulated the time-averaged steady rotor-airfame interaction and developed the unsteady rotor-airframe interaction. Computations were carried out for the simplified rotor-airframe model (the Georgia Tech configuration) and the results were compared with experimental data. The results were in good agreement with experimental data, suggesting that the present approach is a usefull method for rotor-airframe interaction analysis.

In this study, a rotor planform shape with high performance and low noise has been designed and its aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics are analysed. First of all, rotor blade planform with low noise characteristics, has been designed based on the paddle-shape blade by applying vane-tip concept. Finally, noise characteristics of the designed next-generation rotor blade have been investigated and the results are compared with those of BERP blade.

The objective of this study is to develop and validate a numerical method which can handle the multi-rotor aerodynamic characteristics. For the purpose of power estimation, table look-up method is implemented to the existing unsteady panel code that is coupled with a time-marching free wake model. Also, the Reynolds number scaling is implemented for the application to various regions of Reynolds number. The computed results are validated against the available experimental data for coaxial and tandem rotors. In the validation case for the coaxial rotor, more accurate result is acquired when the thickness effect is considered. The wake instability problem occurs at a particular separation distance between the rotors for tandem rotors. The wake instability is avoided by setting the single-rotor wake geometry as the initial wake geometry for the multi-rotor analysis. The estimated result for rotor separation effect is compared with the result of the momentum theory.
