Wind tunnel test for Smart UAV power model has been conducted at KARI LSWT for about 3 months. The static model is used for the base plane and the power effect of tilt rotor is simulated by the tilt-rotor test rig installed in the test section. Although the genuine power effect is the difference between power-on and off tests. The existence of struts for power effect test produced unwanted form of interference and caused the change in flow angularity. To precisely evaluate power effect, a special approach is applied to Smart UAV test.

NREL Phase VI 12% 축소모델을 사용한 표준풍력터빈 풍동시험은 2006$\sim$2007년에 수행되었다. 1,2차 풍동시험은 복합재 및 알루미늄 블레이드를 사용하여 블레이드 제작정밀도 및 표면상태에 의한 영향을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 3차 풍동시험은 축소효과보상기법 개발을 위해 수행되었다. Bo-105 40% 모델에 사용된 코드확장기법을 적용하여 15% 코드확장 블레이드를 사용하여 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 코드확장기법을 적용할 경우 풍속에 대한 토크 기울기는 실물모델과 잘 일치하나, 최대토크 대비 8%정도 간극을 나타내고 있다. 풍력터빈 블레이드와 같이 캠버가 큰 익형을 사용하는 회전체에 대한 수정된 보상기법을 적용할 경우 이러한 간극은 보상될 수 있다.

NREL Phase VI 12% 축소모델을 사용한 표준풍력터빈 풍동시험은 2006년에 1차 시험이 수행되었다. 1차 풍동시험은 복합재 블레이드를 사용하여 표준조건(설치각 3도)에 대해 수행되었으며 블레이드 표면상태에 따라 측정값이 영향을 받는 것을 파악하였다. 2007년 4월에 수행된 2차 풍동시험은 표면상태의 영향을 보다 정확히 파악하기 위해 알루미늄 블레이드를 사용하여 시험을 수행하였으며, 블레이드 제작 정밀도에 따른 영향을 파악하였다. 낮은 레이놀즈 수 영역(저속영역)에서는 블레이드 표면상태 따라 토크 값 다르게 나타나며, 블레이드 끝단 부근의 제작 정밀도는 최대 토크 이후의 영역에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 0.1mm 이내의 정밀도로 제작된 모델의 경우 NREL 시험결과와 전체적인 형상이 유사하게 나타나며, 축소효과에 의한 영향으로 최대토크는 약 25% 정도 감소현상을 보이고 있다.

The high-speed wind tunnel test of rocket model was performed to investigate the effect of skirt configuration on aerodynamic load characteristics of nozzle. Test parameters were the length and diffusing angle of skirt. Test results showed that the gimbals actuator power could be reduced to 1/10 of that without skirt. The normalized test result was proposed to be used as database for skirt design.

In this study aerodynamic characteristics of guided gliding type ammunition were investigated by using a computational analysis and wind tunnel test. Missile DATCOM, a semi-empirical method, and a FLUENT, a computational fluid dynamics analysis program, were used for computational analysis. For a guided gliding type ammunition, aerodynamic characteristics were investigated by calculating lift force, drag force, pitching moment and etc. Aerodynamic characteristics of guided gliding type ammunition are completely different from those of conventional ammunition. The results obtained from the computer analysis are similar to those obtained from the wind tunnel test. Although the pitch moment values obtained by the semi-empirical method were slightly different from the wind tunnel test results, the overall computer analysis results showed trends and values similar to the test results. In this study, aerodynamic characteristics of guided gliding type ammunition were identified and it found that semi-empirical method can be applied to analyze the aerodynamic characteristic in the initial design of guided gliding ammunition.

A small size - low priced supersonic wind tunnel of which test section size is 30mm by 35.6mm and run time is 20sec is developed. This educational supersonic wind tunnel is an intermittent blowdown type with an exchangeable nozzle block. In this study, the proper sized and low priced commercial parts are used to reduce the total cost of supersonic wind tunnel. A nozzle design and small supersonic wind tunnel design process has been established, and it is confirmed that a given supersonic flow field has been obtained and proved by experiment.

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.

Wind tunnel testing on the real-scale pantograph for high-speed train has been conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristic of the pantograph at high-speed. The mid-scale subsonic wind tunnel of Korea Airforce Acamedy with 3.5m width, 2.45m height, and 8.8m length test section has been employed. The test model has been supported above 50cm height from the bottom of test section using vertical strut to eliminate the boundary layer generated from the bottom of the test section. The height of the pantograph has been varied in three cases, in both of the normal running and reverse running modes. The resultant lift forces of the pantograph to catenary system in all the cases have been measured and the relation between the test conditions and the lift forces have been extensively analyzed.

In spite of fast growing of prediction codes, there is still not negligible uncertainty in their results. This uncertainty affects on the turbine structural design and power production prediction. With the growing size of wind turbine, reducing this uncertainty is becoming one of critical issues for high performance and efficient wind turbine design. In this respect, there are international efforts to evaluate and tune prediction codes of wind turbine. As the reference data for this purpose, field test data is not appropriate because of its uncontrollable wind characteristics and its inherent uncertainty. Wind tunnel can provide controllable wind. For this reason, NREL has done the full scale test of the 10m turbine at NASA-Ames. With this reference data, a blind comparison has been done with participation of 18 organizations with 19 modeling tools. The results were not favorable. In Europe, a similar project is going on. Nine organizations from five countries are participating in the MEXICO project to do full scale wind tunnel tests and calculation with prediction codes. In this study. these two projects were reviewed in respect of wind tunnel test and its contribution. As a conclusion, it is suggested that scale model wind tunnel tests can be a complementary tool to calculation codes which were evaluated worse than expected.

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.
