The requirement for the aerodynamic hub drag, allocated from the system requirement of development of a bearingless rotor hub, was analyzed and embodied to be substantiated by the methodology assigned from the requirement. Drag prediction for the initial hub configuration was carried out by hand calculation using aerodynamic drag coefficients and the design change about the sectional shape of torque tube was suggested to satisfy the requirement. Finally, drag prediction was performed for the changed hub configuration by using unstructured overset mesh technique and parallel computation and the calculated result satisfied the requirement of the aerodynamic hub drag. It was found that the drag of final hub configuration was also within the range of drag inferred from the trendline of developed helicopter.

Gas-liquid 2 phase processes are usually used in chemical, biochemical, environmental engineering and food process. For optimizing these processes, understanding bubble's precise movement and shape are needed. Bubble's movement and shape are effected by liquid's properties-viscosity, surface tension and bubble's properties-size, velocity. This paper deals with experimental data of bubble's movement and shape in high viscous silicone oil. Also, drag coefficient and deformation factor given by other researcher's papers and books are used to predicting and comparing bubble's terminal velocity, drag coefficient, deformation factor and shape with experimental value. Experimental data show that bubble moves faster when it moves in lower viscous silicone oil and it's drag coefficient is bigger when it moves in high viscous silicone oil. Bubble's shape is close to sphere when moving in high viscous silicone. Formulas proposed by Batchelor expect most accurate prediction for bubble's velocity and drag coefficient. Bubble's 2D shape predicted by Batchelor's energy balance, drag coefficient and deformation factor show excellent agreement with experimental bubble's 2D shape.

In this study, aerodynamic drag of a bearingless rotor hub was predicted by computational fluid dynamics methodology using unstructured overset mixed meshes. The calculated results showed that the drag due to pressure forces rather than the viscous drag act as a major factor on both the fuselage and rotor hub, and the drag acting on the torque tube accounted for the largest portion in the hub drag. It was also found the hub drag accounted for 39 ~ 41% of the fuselage drag. Finally, the result confirmed the drag of the designed rotor hub satisfied the requirement of the aerodynamic hub drag by comparing with the drag trend of developed helicopter.

Consumption of the fuel on the satellite operating in low earth orbit, is increased due to the air resistance and the amount of increase makes the satellite lifetime decrease or the satellite mass risen. Therefore the prediction of drag force of the satellite is important. In the paper, drag force and drag coefficient analysis of the parabolic antenna satellite in low earth orbit using direct simulation monte carlo method (DSMC) is conducted according to the mission altitude and angle of attack. To verify the DSMC simulated rarefied air movement, Starshine satellite drag coefficient according to the altitude and gas-surface interaction are compared with the flight data. Finally, from the analysis results, it leads to appropriate satellite drag coefficient for orbit lifetime calculation.

Drag prediction is sought for the aifoil having laminar and turbulent flow characteristics with CFD code being unable to predict transition to turbulent flow. Laminar flow simulation presents some insight to the transition position. Separate simulations with laminar and turbulent flow and their combination estimate the drag of the airfoil containing laminar and turbulent flow characteristics.

In mountainous rivers, the drag force acting on cobbles abundant in the riverbed surface is important in predicting behavior and response of the river. However there is little research for the drag coefficients of cobbles. This paper is to carry out the experiments for drag force of cobble and analyze the relation between the cobble shape and the drag coefficient. The effects of the shape factor on the drag coefficients $C_D$ when the long axis or the short axis of the cobbles are parallel to the direction of flow velocity were analyzed. The coefficient of drag force increased with the nominal diameter Reynolds number $R_{ep}$. The drag coefficients are greater in short axis than long axis. The coefficient of determination of the relation between $C_D$ and $R_{ep}$ is greater in long axis than short axis. This means that the drag forces acting on the irregularly-shaped cobbles depend on the axis. A change of the drag force distribution has brought about the alternative swing of cobbles. For $R_{ep}$ > 12,000, the amplitude of the swing has been increased sharply and especially was greater in short axis than long axis.

호우 시 산지하천 유역에서 빈발하는 토석류에 따라 하천 흐름에 들어온 전석과 같이 상대적으로 큰 물체는 하류로 이송되거나 하상에 퇴적하여 기존 흐름과 하상을 변화시키는 교란요인이 된다. 따라서 산지하천 흐름에서 전석의 영향을 예측하는 것이 필요하나 이는 유속, 전석의 크기와 형상, 유입조건, 부유사 농도 등 수 많은 변수들에 영향을 받기 때문에 그 경로를 정확히 예측하기 어렵다. 이 연구는 유리와 철로 된 구형물체가 개수로 흐름에서 이동하는 경로를 조사한 것이며 흐름의 수심, 물체의 크기와 초기침강조건을 고려하여 수리실험을 실시하고 물체의 이동경로와 유하거리를 분석하였다. 개수로 흐름에 유입한 구형 물체는 침강에 의한 항력과 유수에 의한 항력을 동시에 받는다. 이 힘은 물체의 형상, 유수의 점성, 난류, 물체와 물의 밀도차가 복합적으로 작용한 결과이며 구체의 이동경로와 시간을 좌우한다. 실험결과 개수로 흐름에서 낙하중인 구형물체는 하상에 가까워질수록 흐름방향 이동거리가 증가하였다. 물체의 수중무게가 작을수록 유수 중에서 체류하는 시간이 길고 이동거리가 더 크며, 구체에 작용하는 초기항력에 따라 초기 낙하각도와 이동거리가가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, a dynamics model was developed to predict the motion performance of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The dynamics model includes basic dynamic state variables of the hull and force terms to determine the motion of the AUV. The affecting terms for the forces are hydrostatic force, added mass, hydrodynamic damping, lift and drag forces. The force terms can be calculated using analytical and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. For the underwater motion simulation, a simple PD controller was used. Also, the AUV was tested in a water tank and near sea for the partial verification of the fluid drag force coefficients and way-point tracking motions.

Atmospheric drag is the most significant factor effecting the low Earth satellites under the altitude of 800 km Although the atmospheric density of the low Earth orbit is very low compared to that of the sea level, the accumulated effect of the atmospheric drag slowly lowers the satellite velocity at the perigee. Decrease in velocity at perigee directly causes decrease in altitude at apogee which changes the eccentricity of the orbit. The orbit finally reaches a circular orbit before reentering the Earth. This paper states the methods of calculating the atmospheric drag and the lifetime of the satellite. The lifetime of the kick motor and the satellites which will be used on KSLV-L are calculated by Satellite Tool Kit.
