현대에 이르러 초음속 운영 영역에서의 항공기에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 음속 폭음 현상과 충격파 현상에서 야기된 높은 항력 및 연료 효율성 저하로 인하여 그 한계에 부딪치고 있다. Busemann 복엽 익형은 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 형상이며, 상하 형상에 의한 파동 상쇄효과 및 파동 감소효과를 통해 충격파의 강도와 음속 폭음 효과를 감소시키는 형상이다. 하지만 본 익형은 탈설계 조건에서 항력 계수가 급격하게 증가하는 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 Busemann 복엽 익형의 주변 유동 특성에 대하여 면밀한 고찰을 수행하였다. 우선 Busemann 복엽 익형의 초기 형상에 대한 유동 조건별 해석을 통하여 탈설계 조건에서의 항력 성능 저하 문제에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 이후 3개의 형상 변수에 대한 매개 변수 연구를 통하여 익형의 각 형상 변수가 탈설계 영역 및 해당 영역에서의 최대 항력 계수에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 기존 형상보다 좁은 탈설계 구간을 가지고, 최대 항력 계수가 약 34.8% 감소한 부스만 복엽 익형을 설계하였다.

Sonic arc airfoil derived from the TSD theory is modified to new airfoil shape and its aerodynamic performance in transonic flow is investigated. The numerical simulation using Euler equations for the modified sonic arc airfoil is performed. The numerical results are compared with the aerodynamic performance of NACA0012 airfoil, of supercritical airfoil, and of NACA64A210 airfoil. In the same free stream Mach number of transonic flow, the pressure drag of the modified sonic arc airfoil is smaller than that of NACA0012 airfoil and the lift-drag ratio of the modified sonic arc airfoil is much larger than that of NACA0012 airfoil. In the comparison of the drag-divergence Mach number of transonic flow, the drag-divergence Mach number of the modified sonic arc airfoil is larger than that of NACA64A210 airfoil but is smaller than that of supercritical airfoil.

Many flight bodies are essentially imposed in gradually accelerating and decelerating free streams during taking-off and landing processes. However, the wing aerodynamics occurring in such a stream have not yet been investigated in detail. The objective of the present study is to make clear the aerodynamic characteristics of an aerofoil placed in the accelerating and decelerating free stream conditions. A computational analysis is carried out to solve the unsteady, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations which are discretized using a fully implicit finite volume method. Computational results are employed to reveal the major characteristics of the aerodynamics over the gradually accelerating aerofoil wings.

In the present paper, wall correction method is reviewed and applied to the numerical experimental results obtained at the wind tunnel condition. The corrected lift coefficient agrees well with the reference data generated from the grid having very far boundary. However the corrected drag coefficient presents some deviation from the reference data.

본 연구에서는 아음속 저 레이놀즈 수에서 NACA0012에 나타난 층류 박리 거품과 천이유동에 대해 연구하였다. 천이유동조건과 완전난류유동 조건에 따른 EDISON 계산 결과 값과 실험값의 공력계수를 비교하였다. 또한, EDISON 계산 결과 값과 Xfoil을 이용하여 나온 결과 값의 천이점 비교를 통해 Xfoil의 천이 모델과 EDISON 천이 모델간의 차이를 비교하였다.

An inverse method for the subsonic and transonic airfoil design was developed using the Euler equations. Two testcases were performed. One was a verification of the method using the supercritical airfoil of the Korean mid-sized (100 passengers class) transport aircraft. The other was the design of an airfoil showing a good cruising performance (L/D ratio) in the high subsonic flow regime. These testcases demonstrated the efficiency and the robustness of the design method in the present study.

This study shows what difference would be made to the aerodynamic characteristic with different thickness ratio of the same airfoil, Eppler 387, at low Reynolds number, at the angle of attack of $0^{\circ}$. Konkuk Univ.'s airfoil has a bigger thickness ratio than that of the original Eppler 387 airfoil. The reason for the thicker camber is a Pt 100 ohm heater mounted inside the Konkuk Univ.'s airfoil and this was assumed to make some differences to aerodynamic characteristic. The comparison of these two airfoils' CFD data, provided by EDSION_CFD, with real experiment that had been made in subsonic wind tunnel at Konkuk Univ. is done. A finer result would come out if the complement of the homogeneity of the wind tunnel's fluid is done in the future.

Wind tunnel test for Forward-Swept wing airplane model, a part of the Korea-Russia technical cooperation program has been conducted at both TsAGI T-102 and KARI LSWT. The results of TsAGI T-102, obtained by using a unique wire-suspension model support system, and KARI LSWT, used tripod and tandem strut arrangement configuration, are compared with various model conditions including control surface deflection such as flap, aileron, elevator and rudder. Good agreement in the value of drag-polar is observed between TsAGI T-102 and KARI LSWT data. The lateral and directional stability coefficients with rudder and aileron deflection represent a good agreement in both facility.

this study, three dimensional surface pressure distributions of SWIM whose main wing has NACA4412 airfoil with NACA0012 flaps were experimentally measured by pressure sensitive paint. Surface pressures on suction and pressure sides of the wing were measured by changing an angle of attack at a Reynolds number of 3.1x105 in KARI 1m subsonic wind tunnel. The experimental results showed that as an angle of attack increases minimum pressure region on a suction side moved from the wing root to the tip and low pressure region around trailing edge of the wing tip which causes wing tip vortex was observed. Although low pressure region at the tip still observed at an angle of attack 15 deg., other area on a suction side showed flat pressure distribution in a span-wise direction. It was also observed that the mean value of pressure coefficients was about 0.077 through a comparison between PSP and pressure taps at the same test conditions.
