The flow characteristics in the blade passage of a low speed axial flow fan have been investigated by experimental analysis using a rotating hot-wire sensor for design and off-design operating conditions. The results show that the tip leakage vortex is moved upstream when flow rate is decreased, thus disturbing the formation of wake flow near the rotor tip. The tip leakage vortex interfaces with blade pressure surface, and results in high velocity fluctuation near the pressure surface. From the relative velocity distributions near the rotor tip, large axial velocity decay is observed at near stall condition, which results in large blockage compared to that at the design condition. Througout the flow measurements using a quasi-orthogonal measuring points to the tip leakage vortex, it is noted that the radial position of the tip leakage vortex is distributed between 94 and 96 percent span for all flow conditions. High spectrum density due to the large fluctuation of the tip leakage vortex is observed near the blade suction surface below the frequency of 1000 Hz at near stall condition.

The frequency characteristics in an axial flow fan operating at a design and three off-design operating conditions have been investigated by measuring the velocity fluctuation of a tip leakage vortex and a wake flow. Two hot-wire probe sensors rotating with the fan rotor. a fixed and a moving ones, were introduced to obtain a cross-correlation coefficient between two sensors as well as the fluctuating velocity. The results show that the spectral peaks due to the fluctuating velocity near the rotor tip are mainly observed in the reverse flow region of higher flow rates than those in the peak pressure operating condition. However, no peak frequency presents near the rotor tip for near stall condition. Detailed wake flow just downstream of the rotor blade was also measured by the rotating hot-wire sensor. The peak frequency of a high velocity fluctuation due to Karman vortex shedding in the wake region is mainly observed at the higher flow rate condition than that in the design point.

Experiments were done for performance and flow characteristics of a counter-rotating axial flow fan. Performance curves of a counter-rotating axial flow fan were obtained and compared by varying the blade pitch angles. The fan characteristic curves were obtained following the Korean Standard Testing Methods for Turbo Fans and Blowers (KS B 6311). The fan flow characteristics were measured using a five-hole probe and a slanted hot-wire. The velocity profiles between the hub and tip of the fans were measured and analyzed at the peak efficiency point. The peak efficiency of the counter-rotating axial flow fan was improved about 15% respectively, compared with the single rotating axial fan. The single rotating axial flow fan showed relatively law efficiency due to the swirl velocities behind rotor exit which produced pressure losses. The counter-rotating axial flow fan showed that the swirl velocity generated by the front rotor was eliminated by the rear rotor and the associated dynamic pressure is recovered in the from of the static pressure rise.

진동하는 에어포일의 항력계수 변화에 미치는 레이놀즈수 영향을 조사하기 위한 실험적 연구가 수행되었다. NACA 0012 에어포일은 ${\pm}6^{\circ}$의 진동 진폭을 갖고, 1/4 시위를 기준으로 피칭운동을 하도록 하였다. 실험조건에서 자유흐름속도는 1.98, 2.83 그리고 4.03 m/s이며, 이를 근거로 한 시위길이 레이놀즈수는 각각 $2.3{\times}10^4$, $3.3{\times}10^4$, $4.8{\times}10^4$이다. 항력계수는 근접후류에서 2축 열선프로브(X-type, 55R51)로 측정된 평균속도 분포로부터 산출되었다. 레이놀즈수 2.3×104에서 항력계수는 음(-)의 댐핑(negative damping)을 보이며, 에어포일이 공기력에 의해 가진 될 수 있는 불안정한 상태를 나타내었다. 반면에 레이놀즈수가 $3.3{\times}10^4$에서 $4.8{\times}10^4$이다로 증가하면서 항력계수 곡선은 양(+)의 댐핑(positive damping)을 나타내었다. 따라서 항력계수 변화는 레이놀즈수 $2.3{\times}10^4$와 $4.8{\times}10^4$ 사이에 상당한 차이가 있다는 것을 나타낸다.
