This paper aims for evaluating the wind-driven ventilation in basement parking lots of apartment. Wind tunnel tests coupled with tracer gas method were conducted, and classified by wind directions and opening types. The test results showed that, as for wind-driven ventilations, stack type openings were more successful than scuttle vent. Finally, according to Weibull distribution in Seoul, yearly averaged wind-driven ventilation rate was calculated.

This study was carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the stability of a 50ton container crane using wind tunnel test and provide a container crane designer with data which can be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load at 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane. Data acquisition conditions for this experiment were established in accordance with the similarity. The scale of a container crane dimension, wind velocity and time were chosen as 1/200, 1/13.3 and 1/15. And this experiment was implemented in an Effect type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel with $11.52m^2$ cross-section area. Each directional drag and overturning moment coefficients were investigated and uplift forces at each supporting point due to the wind load were 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.

A primary investigation on the underexpanded flow generated in a 0.4 MW class high enthalpy supersonic arc-heated plasma wind tunnel is conducted experimentally. The diameter and the position of the Mach disk from the nozzle exit is measured for overall pressure ratios ranging from 200 to 30. The empirical correlations for Mach disk diameter and position are determined which show very good agreement with experimental results.

초음속 유동하에서 측추력기 주위의 유동 현상을 실험 및 수치해석을 이용하여 해석하였다. 실험은 버지니아공대의 초음속 풍동과 건국대의 초음속 풍동을 사용하였으며 계산 코드는 Aerosoft 사의 GASP(ver.4.0)과 건국대의 AADL3D를 사용하였다. 실험결과는 Schlieren, Shadow graph 등의 가시화 장치와 압력 센서와 PSP(Pressure Sensitive Paint)를 이용하여 유동장 특성과 압력분포를 구하여 실제 작용되는 힘과 모멘트를 구하였다. 실험조건은 자유류의 흐름이 마하수 4 이고 측추력기와 자유류의 압력비가 532 이었다. 성능향상 방안으로 측추력기 후방에 램프를 설치하는 것을 제안하였으며 이에 대한 실험을 수행하여 수직력에 대한 변화는 없지만 피칭다운 모멘트가 약 $70\%$ 감소함을 보여주어 실제로 성능이 향상되었음을 입증하였다. 또한 측추력기의 성능에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자들에 대한 가시화실험을 수행하여 그 이해를 돕고자 하였으며, 현재 건국대에서 보유하고 있는 고속유동 관련 실험장치의 소개와 이를 이용한 연구들을 소개하므로써 압축성 유동장 연구에 이러한 실험장치의 필요성에 대한 이해를 구하고자 한다.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the affect of various turbulence properties on aerodynamic characteristics of twin box bridge section. To achieve this goal, active turbulence generator which successfully simulated various target turbulences was developed in the wind tunnel. From the wind tunnel tests, turbulence integral length scale did not affect on the aerodynamic forces and flutter derivatives except for the $A_1^*$ curve. Turbulence intensity gave slight effect on the unsteady aerodynamic force, but turbulence integral length scale did not affect the self-excited forces except vertical direction component.

An experimental and numerical study of aerodynamic charateristics of KSR-III and jet impingement on a deflector during launch has been conducted. To investigate aerodynamic characteristics of KSR-III configuration, wind tunnel tests using 6.4% scale model were performed by 4x4 feet ADD trisonic wind tunnel on the Mach number range of 0.4~3.8. Solutions of Three dimensional Euler equations were also obtained and compared with test result. For the study of KSR-III jet impingement flowfield on a deflector during launch operation, unsteady computation using CFD-FASTRAN was performed.

A new approach to systematically model aerodynamic coefficients using an adaptive sampling based wind tunnel testing considering cost is proposed. The Latin Hypercube design is used for selecting initial test points. The Gaussian Process (GP) is iteratively used during the experiment to determine additional experimental points that minimizes the uncertainty reduction per incremental cost. A numerical simulation based experiment was conducted using the static aerodynamic coefficient database a fighter aircraft, which demonstrated the validity of the proposed method.
