세일링 요트 (sailing yacht)는 세일 (sail)의 양력을 주로 이용하여 추진력을 얻는다. 요트 경주에서와 같이 항주 속도가 중요한 문제에서는 세일의 성능이 좋을수록 빠른 속도를 낼 수 있기 때문에 세일 주변의 유동해석을 통한 성능 추정과 효율의 최적화는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 경주요트의 형태로써 지브 세일 (jib sail)과 메인 세일 (main sail) 그리고 한 개의 마스트(mast)로 구성된 슬루프(sloop)형 요트에 대한 유동해석을 하였다. 풍상범주 상태에서의 30ft급 세일링 요트인 KORDY-30의 jib sail과 main sail의 높이에 따른 단면을 모델링하였다. 슬루프형 요트의 경우, 세일링 요트에서 jib sail과 main sail이 각각 단독으로 있는 형태의 요트보다 세일의 개수가 증가함에 따라 양력이 증가하지만 항력도 따라서 증가 할 것이라고 가정했다. 따라서 jib sail의 각도를 다양하게 변화시켜 양력계수와, 항력계수의 변화를 살펴보고 그에 따른 양항비의 분석을 통해 최적의 효율을 갖는 jib sail의 각도를 알아보았다.

It is important to understand the flow characteristics around two sails of a sloop yacht. In this paper a computational aerodynamic investigation is performed over sail-like airfoils similar to the main and iIb sails of a 30 feet sailing yacht. Lift and drag are calculated for various conditions of slit distance between the two sails and overlapped length of the jib sail. The thrust and CE(center of effort) of the sail system are obtained. It is found that the combination of two sails produces the thrust force larger than the sum of the thrust force of each sail standing separately and the slit distance of the two sails are important factor to increase lift force.

Due to the limitation of size of the test section, blockage effects could not be avoided in the model test of yacht sails for common wind tunnels. In this paper, a numerical analysis is performed to investigate the blockage effects on the lift and drag forces measured from wind tunnel experiments for a 30 feet sloop yacht sail. Complex airflows around the jib and main sails including three-dimensional flow separations are calculated for various close-hauled conditions. It is found that the blockage of a wind tunnel changes the flow separation and consequently the lift and drag forces of the sails, especially the main sail, reduce and increase, respectively, due to the blockage effects.

Turbulent flows around yacht sails were calculated to access the applicability of CFD for yacht design. Multi-block grid system was generated by using Gridgen package and Fluent was used to calculate flows around two sail system. A 30ft class sailing yacht designed and tested by KRISO was chosen. The interference effect between main and jib sails was analyzed. Pressure distribution on the sails was obtained and the center of effort was estimated. It was found that the jib angle affects the flow phenomena around a main sail due to the change of inflow angle. The location of center of effort is much different from the empirical formula based on a simple geometrical consideration. The calculated results are compared with the previous numerical and experimental results. Both CFD results are similar, but there are some discrepancies with experimental data. However, it is certain that CFD can be a very useful tool for yacht design.

본 연구에서는 Main Rotor Blade Tip 형상 변화에 따른 후류해석을 통해 와류 생성 및 주변 유동을 분석하여 블레이드 팁 형상의 변화가 와류 간섭을 감소시키는지의 여부를 확인하였다. EDISON CFD를 이용하여 블레이드 Blade Tip 형상에 따라 유동이 어떻게 나타나며, Blade 후류의 압력과 점성의 변화를 분석하여 와류의 양상을 해석하였다. 비교 Blade 형상은 2세대 긴 직사각형 모형, KUH 수리온의 Blade, 유로콥터사의 'Blue Edge'로 비교적 최근에 개발된 대표적인 Blade Tip 형상 3개로 정하였다. 결과를 토대로 블레이드 뒷전의 와류흐름 양상을 확인하여 블레이드 와류 간섭현상의 감소를 확인하였다.
