  • Electric-powered distributed propulsion aircraft possess a complex wake flow and mutual interference with the airframe, due to the use of many propellers. Accordingly, in the early design stage, rapid aerodynamic and load analysis considering the effect of propellers for various configurations and flight conditions are required. In this study, an efficient panel-based aerodynamic analysis method that can take into account the propeller effects is developed and validated. The induced velocity field in the region of propeller wake is calculated based on Actuator Disk Theory (ADT) and is considered as the boundary condition at the vehicle's surface in the three-dimensional steady source-doublet panel method. Analyses are carried out by selecting an isolated propeller of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI)'s Quad Tilt Propeller (QTP) aircraft and the propeller-wing configuration of the former experimental study as benchmark problems. Through comparisons with the results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on actuator methods, the wake velocity of propeller and the changes in the aerodynamic load distribution of the wing due to the propeller operation are validated. The method is applied to the analysis of the Optional Piloted Personal Aerial Vehicle (OPPAV) and QTP, and the practicality and validity of the method are confirmed through comparison and analysis of the computational time and results with CFD.

  • 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.

  • The ice accreted on the airfoil is one of the critical drivers that causes the degradation of aerodynamic performance as well as aircraft accidents. Hence, an efficient numerical code to predict the accreted ice shape is crucial for the successful design of de-icing and anti-icing devices. To this end, a numerical code has been developed for the prediction of glaze ice accretion shape on 2D airfoil. Constant Source-Doublet method is used for the purpose of computational efficiency and heat transfer in the icing process is accounted for by Messinger model. The computational results are thoroughly compared against available experiments and other computation codes such as LEWICE and TRAJICE. The direction and thickness of ice horn are shown to yield similar results compared to the experiments and other codes. In addition, the effects of various parameters - temperature, free-stream velocity, liquid water contents, and droplet diameter - on the ice shape are systematically analyzed through parametric studies.
