고혹에서의 자동차의 주행성능을 높이는 장치 중 하나인 에어댐이라는 장치가 있다. 본 연구에서는 장치의 실제적인 효과를 유동가시화를 통하여 확인하고자 연구를 진행하였다. 따라서 자동차 에어댐의 장착에 따른 공력 특성을 분석해보았다. 에어댐의 유무에 따른 자동차의 공력 특성을 확인하고, 에어댐의 길이에 따라 공력 특성이 어떻게 차이가 나는지 총 세 가지로 분류하여 비교하였다. 에어댐의 법적허용 높이와 전면 범퍼 높이의 중간 값, 법적허용높이, 법적허용높이의 1/2배에 해당하는 길이의 에어댐을 장착하여 어떠한 효과가 발생하는지 확인하였다.

3-D numerical studies are performed to investigate the effect of the air dam height and approaching air velocities on the pressure distribution of notchback road vehicle. For this purpose, the models of test vehicle with four different air dam heights are introduced and PHOENICS, a commercial CFD code, is used to simulate the flow phenomena and to estimate the values of pressure coefficients along the surface of vehicle. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model is adopted for the simulation of turbulence. The numerical results show that the height variation of air dam makes almost no influence on the distribution of the value of pressure coefficient along upper and rear surface but makes strong effects on the bottom surface. That is, the value of pressure coefficient becomes smaller as the height is increased along the bottom surface. Approaching air velocity makes no differences on pressure coefficients. Through the analysis of pressure coefficient on the vehicle surface, one tries to assess aerodynamic drag and lift of vehicle. The pressure distribution on the bottom surface affects more on lift than the pressure distribution on the upper surface of the vehicle does. The increase of air dam height makes positive effects on the lift decrease but no effects on drag reduction.

Purpose: The Air Spring Damper System (ASDS) is proposed when existing concrete structures that have not been seismic resistant for economic and technical reasons or low-rise concrete structures that are difficult to earthquake. Method: To conduct a study on the damping force antigen in the kinetic equation of free vibration, we analyze whether this device has damping ability as a damper experimentally and theoretically, and examine the possibility of field application. Result: The air damper system is considered to be more economical than steel hysteresis dampers even if the number of dampers increases due to its easy manufacture and construction and low restrictions on shape, size, material, etc. Conclusion: In an air spring damper system, it is essential to reduce the diameter of the air inlet/outlet hole to improve the damping ratio, and in this case, if the diameter exceeds a certain lower limit, consideration of the compressibility of air is required, so further research is needed.
