An experimental and numerical study of aerodynamic charateristics of KSR-III and jet impingement on a deflector during launch has been conducted. To investigate aerodynamic characteristics of KSR-III configuration, wind tunnel tests using 6.4% scale model were performed by 4x4 feet ADD trisonic wind tunnel on the Mach number range of 0.4~3.8. Solutions of Three dimensional Euler equations were also obtained and compared with test result. For the study of KSR-III jet impingement flowfield on a deflector during launch operation, unsteady computation using CFD-FASTRAN was performed.

Aerodynamic characteristics over Micro Aerial Vehicle(MAV) in low Reynolds number regime are numerically studied using 3-D unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver with single partitioning method for multi-block grid. For more efficient computation of unsteady flows, this flow solver is parallel-implemented with MPl(Message Passing Interface) programming method. Firstly, MAV wing with not complex geometry is considered and then, we analyze aerodynamic characteristics over full MAV configuration varying the angle of attack. Present computational results show a better agreement with the experimental data by MACDL(Micro Aerodynamic Control and Design Lab.), Seoul National University. We can also find the conceptually designed MAV by MACDL has the static stability.

본 연구에서는 이전의 연구들이 주로 정상상태의 공력만을 이용하여 소음을 예측하였으나 통상 팬은 단독으로 존재하지 않고 열교환기(radiator)와 같은 주의 물체와 함께 있으므로 이에 따르는 상호작용으로 인한 비정상 유동을 고려하여 소음을 예측하였다.

An unsteady RANS analysis study of the 3-D flow around the NREL Phase VI horizontal axis wind turbine(HAWT) was performed using sliding mesh approach. Two different analysis models such as rotor-only and rotor with tower/nacelle were constructed to investigate the blade/tower interaction. Analysis results for the rotor with tower/nacelle were compared with the corresponding NREL's experimental data which produced fairly good validation of the present CFD model. Comparison of flows around those two models also clearly showed the blade/tower interaction even it was small for upwind configuration. Other visualization results and integrated aerodynamic loads including torque of the blade demonstrated the effective unsteady flow simulation capability of the present CFD model.

In this study, aerodynamic coefficients obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using wind tunnel test-like method is compared with coefficients obtained by actual wind tunnel test. Unsteady analysis has performed with using harmonic equation for motion of the external store. Aerodynamic database is generated based on CFD results to simulate 6 degree-of-freedom store separation analysis. Trajectory is obtained from simulation using both CFD-based and test-based database, and results are compared with trajectory from flight test result. It is concluded that generation of database based on CFD with wind tunnel test technique is valid from good agreement of the trajectory.

In the present study, aerodynamic load analysis for a floating off-shore wind turbine was conducted to examine the effect of periodic platform motion in the direction of 6-DOF on rotor aerodynamic performance. Blade-element momentum method(BEM) was used for a numerical simulation, the unsteady airload effects due to the flow separation and the shed wake were considered by adopting a dynamic stall model based on the indicial response method. Rotor induced downwash was estimated using the momentum theory, coupled with empirical corrections for the turbulent wake states. The periodic platform motions including the translational motion in the heave, sway and surge directions and the rotational motion in the roll, pitch and yaw directions were considered, and each platform motion was applied as a sinusoidal function. For the numerical simulation, NREL 5MW reference wind turbine was used as the target wind turbine. The results showed that among the translation modes, the surge motion has the largest influence on changing the rotor airloads, while the effect of pitch motion is predominant for the rotations.

Flapping-wing air vehicles, well known for their free vertical take-off and excellent flight capability, are currently under intensive development and research. While most of the studies have explored the effect of various parameters of synchronized motions on the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wings, limited attention has been given to the effect of nonsynchronous motions on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of flapping wings. In the present study, we conducted a numerical analysis to investigate the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of an airfoil flapping with different frequency ratios between pitch and heave oscillations. We identified the motions and angle of attacks due to nonsynchronous motions. It was found that the synchronous motion produced thrust with zero lift, but the nonsynchronous motion generated a large lift with little drag. The aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil undergoing the non-synchronous motion were also analyzed using the vorticity distributions and the pressure coefficient around and on the airfoil. When r was equal to 0.5, larger leading and trailing edge vortices were observed compared to the case when r was equal to 1.0, and these vortices significantly affected the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil undergoing the nonsynchronous motion. In future, the effect of pitch amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil will be studied.

Unsteady aerodynamic analysis of an aircraft is done using a frequency domian 3-D panel method. The method is based on an unsteady linear compressible lifting surface theory. The lifting surface is placed in a flight patch, and angle of attack and camber effects are implemented in upwash. Fuselage effects are not considered. The unsteady solutions of the code are validated by comparing with the solutions of a hybrid doublet lattice-doublet point method and a doublet point method for various wing configurations at subsonic and supersonic flow conditions. The calculated results of dynamic stability derivatives for aircraft are shown without comparision due to lack of available measured data or calculated results.

비정상(unsteady) 압축성(compressible) 유동에 의한 공력음향(aeroacoustics)을 모사하여 공력소음원을 해석하기 위해서는 고차(high order)의 정확도와 높은 해상도(resolution)를 가지며, 상대적으로 계산시간을 많이 필요로 하지 않는 외재적(explicit) 유한차분법이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이것은 주어진 차분방식과 격자계로써 공간과 시간상에 존재하는 미소크기의 파동성분들을 충분히 구현하여야 만족할 만한 수치해를 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는, 그러한 유한차분법 중 최근에 관심의 대상이 되고있는 삼각(tridiagonal)또는 오각(pentadiagonal) 집적유한차분법(compact finite difference scheme)이 최대의 해상도를 갖도록 하는 수학적인 방법을 개발하고, 이 방법으로써 새롭게 집적유한차분법을 최적화하였다. 개발된 최적화 방법은, 푸리에 해석법(Fourier analysis)을 통하여 파동수(wavenumber) 영역에서 수학적으로 계산된 위상오차(phase error)를 최소화하는 것이며, 이러한 개념과 방법은 본 연구에서 처음으로 집적유한차분법에 적용되었다. 여러가지 절단정확도(truncation order)에 대해서 최적화 된 집적유한차분법들이 실제 공간과 시간상에서 보여주는 정확도와 오차특성을 알아보기 위하여, 이 방법들을 1차원 선형파동방정식에 적용하였고, 이 결과를 통하여 가장 정확하고 효과적인 절단정확도의 집적유한차분법을 선별하였다. 특히, 오각(pentadiagonal)법에 비해 더욱 효율적인 6차 삼각(tridiagonal)법을 1차원 Euler방정식에 적용하여, 비선형 파동에 대한 모사를 수행할 수 있었다.

A three-dimensional inviscid flow solver has been developed based on unstructured meshes for the investigation of the effect of the external stores on the tail surfaces of a generic fighter aircraft. The numerical method is based on a vertex-centered finite-volume discretization and an implicit point Gauss-Seidel time integration. The calculations were made for a steady flow and the computed results were compared with experimental data to validate the flow solver. An unsteady time-accurate computation of the generic fighter aircraft with external stores at transonic flight conditions showed that the external stores cause unsteady loading on the horizontal tail surface due to the mutual interference between their wake and the horizontal tail surface. It was shown that downward deflection of the trailing edge flap significantly reduces the undesirable interference effect.
