Secondary flow losses can be as high as 30~50% of the total aerodynamic losses for a turbo-machinery blade or stator row. These are important part for improving a turbine efficiency. Therefore, many studies have been performed to decrease the secondary flow losses. The present study deals with the chamfered leading-edge at a generic wing-body junction to decrease the horseshoe vortex, one of factors to generate the secondary flow losses, and investigates the vortex generation and the characteristics of the horseshoe vortex with the chamfered height, and depth of the chamfer by using $FLUENT^{TM}$. It was found that the total pressure loss for the best case can be decreased about 1.55% compare to the baseline case.

The wind resistant capacity of bridges with a span of less than 200m is typically evaluated by Wind Resistant Design Manual for Highway Bridges in Japan. Also, the first vertical frequency plays an important role in the evaluation of their aerodynamic performance. An unexpected vortex-induced vibration of Nielsen arch bridge with span of 183m designed by this manual has been measured by monitoring system during typhoon. The amplitude of vibrations was about 2 times than the allowable vibration displacement. This paper presents the feature of vortex-induced vibration of this Nielsen arch bridge based on measured wind velocity, wind direction, and responses at midspan of main girder. From the result of FFT, the $1^{st}$ mode shape of the bridge is antisymmetric and the $2^{nd}$ is symmetric. Also, the dominant vibration of the bridge is the $2^{nd}$ vertical mode. According to these results, the $2^{nd}$ vertical vibration mode of this Nielsen arch bridge is prior to the first for the estimation of wind resistance capacity.

본 연구에서는 부유식방파제의 입사면과 전달면이 Slit으로 구성되어있어 유수실이 존재하는 투수성 부유식방파제에 대하여 2차원 자유도운동에 따른 발전가능성을 검토하였다. 입사파랑이 부유식방파제 유수실구간의 내부로 유입될 때 발생하는 강한 와류는 입사파랑의 주기와 파고가 증가할수록 궤적이 높고 길게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여 부유식방파제 유수실구간 입사면과 전달면에 각각 양방향으로 회전이 가능한 수차를 설치하고 와류 발생에 따른 2차 에너지 생성 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 입사파랑의 내습에 따라 수차는 시계방향과 반시계방향으로 회전하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 상대적으로 주기가 긴 규칙파랑 실험조건(파고 0.1m, 주기 2.0sec)에서 약 0.5W 내외의 지속적인 전기에너지를 확보하는 것으로 검토되었다.

By employing vane tip concept, a new rotor blade (NRSB-I) has been designed to enhance the noise characteristics of BERP blade. Numerical analyses have been performed for hovering rotor and the results are compared with respect to those of original BERP blade. Although the thrust of designed rotor decreases by 6-7% due to cutout at the tip region, the results indicate that the actual performance loss is negligible because power reduction is greater than thrust loss. It is also found that aerodynamic fence is required at the outboard kink to obtain clearly separated twin-vortices because the vortex generated at kink is diffused during the convection over the blade surface.

Incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with $\varepsilon{-SST}$ turbulence model are adopted for the investigation of the flow fields between the square cylinder and the ground. When the grounds moves, the diminish of the shear layer intensity on the ground promotes the interaction between the lower and the upper separated shear layer of the cylinder. Hence vortex shedding occurs at the lower gap height than stationary ground. In the moving ground, the secondary shedding frequency disappears due to the absence of the separation bubble on the ground which exists in the stationary ground. In addition, the shedding frequency and aerodynamic coefficients in the moving ground become higher than those of the stationary ground.

팁 간격의 크기가 냉각탑용 축류팬의 성능과 누설 유동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해서 서로 다른 2가지 팁 간격을 가진 경우에 대해서 점성유동을 해석하였다. 케이싱 내에서 작동하는 축류팬 주위의 유동을 연속방정식, Navier-Stokes 방정식 등을 지배방정식으로 사용하여 수치해석 하였다. 난류유동에 나타나는 레이놀즈 응력은 ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ 난류모델을 사용하여 계산하였다. 전체적으로 H형 격자계를 사용하였으며, 팁 주위의 유동을 해석하기 위해서 팁 영역 주위에 부분적으로 조밀한 격자를 두었다. 팁 간격이 증가하면 누설 유동의 증가로 인한 유동 손실의 증가로 전압상승과 수력효율이 감소하였다. 팬 직경에 대한 팁 간격이 0.4%에서 1.0%로 증가하면 전압상승 값이 약 10% 정도 감소하였으며, 수력효율은 약 3% 정도 감소하였다. 팁 간격이 팁 근처 날개 주위의 압력에 미치는 영향을 보면, 팁 간격이 증가하여 누설 유동이 증가하면 흡입면과 압력면의 압력차가 전연 부근에서 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 누설 와류의 중심은 코드를 따라서 흡입면으로 부터 떨어져 나가면서 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 누설 와류의 위치를 보면 팁 간격이 증가하면 와류 중심의 위치가 흡입면 쪽으로 이동하고, 흡입면에서 떨어진 거리도 날개 후반부에서 증가 폭이 커지는 포물선 형태로 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper studied HART II in descending flight using rotorcraft analysis code based on geometrically exact beam (GEB) model. The present GEB model expressed by a mixed variational formulation could capture the geometrically nonlinear behavior of the blade without arbitrary assumptions. In previous results, correlation of airloads with structural moments for HART II was not as good as blade deflections. However, in present results, predictions of airloads and structural loads are fairly correlated with measured data.

In this study, the characteristics of the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop were numerically analyzed according to the axis ratio (AR), pitch, location of vortex generator, and bump phase of the tube surface about an elliptical fin-tube heat exchanger. The boundary condition for CFD analysis was decided as a tube surface temperature of 348 K and inlet air velocity of 1-5 m/s. RSM 7th turbulent model was chosen as the numerical analysis for the sensitivity level. The analysis results indicated that the AR and transverse pitch decreased whereas the heat transfer coefficient increased. On the other hand, there was little difference in the longitudinal pitch. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate was more favorable when the vortex generator was located in front of the tube. Also, the bump phase of the tube surface indicated that the pressure drop and heat transfer were more favorable with the circle type than with the serrated type.

Since a small harbor is often located near surf zone areas which have great influences of sediment transport, there is a great possibility that the sediment will be deposited inside of the harbor. The sediment transport occurring around the harbor entrance can't be explained by the wind wave and wave induced current. In this study, it was investigated the mechanism of the entrainment of sediment into a small harbor with permeable breakwater using hydraulic experiments in 3D wave basin. It is found out that the significant sediment entrainment produced when the mode of oscillation in the harbor became the 1st mode. In the case where the incident wave period was shorter than the period that caused higher mode oscillation in harbor, only a little amount of sediment entrainment took place. The vortex shedding from the top of secondary breakwater played very important roll in the entrainment of sediment into the harbor. It is also found that the small jetty attached at the top of secondary breakwater could effectively prevent the entrainment of sediment into the harbor.

Three-dimensional flow characteristics within a high-acceleration first-stage turbine vane passage has been investigated in a newly-built vane cascade for propulsion. The result shows that there is a strong favorable pressure gradient on the vane pressure surface. On its suction surface, however, there exists not only a much stronger favorable pressure gradient than that on the pressure surface upstream of the mid-chord but also a subsequent adverse pressure gradient downstream of it. By employing two different oil-film methods with upstream coating and full-coverage coating, a four-vortex model horseshoe vortex system can be identified ahead of each leading edge in the cascade, and the separation line of inlet boundary layer flow as well as the separation line of re-attached flow is provided as well. In addition, basic flow data such as secondary flow, aerodynamic loss, and flow turning angle downstream of the cascade are obtained.
