Although optimization by sequentially refining metamodels is known to be computationally very efficient, the metamodel that can be used for this purpose is limited to Kriging method due to the difficulties related with sample points selections. The present study suggests a novel method for sequentially refining metamodels using Pareto Frontiers, which can be used independent of the type of metamodels. It is shown from the examples that the present method yields more accurate metamodels compared with full-factorial optimization and also guarantees global optimum irrespective of the initial conditions. Finally, in order to prove the generality of the present method, it is applied to a 2D transonic airfoil optimization problem, and the successful design results are obtained.

An efficient inverse design technique based on the MGM (Modified Garabedian-McFadden) method has been developed. The 2-D Navier-Stokes equations are solved for obtaining the surface pressure distributions and coupled with the MGM method to perform the inverse design. The solver is parallelized by using the domain decomposition method and the standard MPI library for communications between the processors. The MGM method is a residual-correction technique, in which the residuals are the difference between the desired and the computed pressure distribution. The developed code was applied to several airfoil shapes and the axial blade. It has been found that they are well converged to their target pressure distribution.

The rotor design is fundamental to the performance and dynamic response of the Counter-rotating marine tidal current turbine. The wind industry has seen significant advancement single rotor blade technology, offering considerable knowledge and making it easy to transfer to tidal stream energy converters. In this paper, 3D flow and performance an alysis on a 100 kW counter-rotating marine current turbine blade was carried out by using the 3-D Navier-Stokes commercial solver(ANSYS CFX-11.0) to provide more efficient design techniques to design engineers. The front and rear rotor diameter is 8m and the rotating speed is 24.72rpm. Hexahedral meshing was generated by ICEM-CFD to achieve better quality of results. The rated power and its approaching stream velocity for design are 100 kW and 2 m/s respectively. The pressure distribution on the blade's suction side tells us that the pressure becomes low at the leading edge of the airfoil as it moves from the hub to the tip.

The inherent aeromechanical complexity of a rotor system necessitated the comprehensive analysis code for helicopter rotor system. In the present study, an aerodynamic analysis module has been developed as a part of rotorcraft comprehensive program. Aerodynamic analysis module is largely classified into airload calculation routine and inflow analysis routine. For airload calculation, quasi-steady analysis model is employed based on the blade element method with the correction of unsteady aerodynamic effects. In order to take unsteady effects - body motion effects and dynamic stall - into account, aerodynamic coefficients are corrected by considering Leishman-Beddoes's unsteady model. Various inflow models and vortex wake models are implemented in the aerodynamic module to consider wake induced inflow. Specifically, linear inflow, dynamic inflow, prescribed wake and free wake model are integrated into the present module. The aerodynamic characteristics of each method are compared and validated against available experimental data such as Elliot's induced inflow distribution and sectional normal force coefficients of AH-1G. In order to validate unsteady aerodynamic model, 2-D unsteady model for NACA0012 airfoil is validated against aerodynamic coefficients of McAlister's experimental data.

본 연구에서는 주기적 비정상 유동 해석을 위해 푸리에 변환을 이용하는 조화 균형법의 효율적인 해법을 제안한다. 내재적으로 유속항을 처리하고 외재적으로 조화 원천항을 처리하였다. 외재적 조화 균형법 보다 더 빠르게 수렴 시킬 수 있으며 내재적 조화 균형법을 적용할 때 추가되는 자코비안 행렬을 처리할 필요가 없다. 또한 완전 내재적 기법에 상응하는 수준의 수렴안정성을 확인할 수 있었다. 2차원 비정상 유동 문제로 피칭하는 NACA0012 익형에 적용하였으며 이중 시간 적분법 및 외재적 Runge-Kutta기법의 해와 매우 일치하는 결과를 얻었다.

Acoustic power spectrum of the upstream and downstream sound field due to an isotropic frozen turbulent gust impinging on a cascade of flat plate airfoils are computed by using a analytic formulation derived from Smith's method, and Whitehead's LINSUB codes. A parametric study of the effects on sound power of the number of blades and turbulence length scale is performed with an emphasis on analyzing the characteristics of sound power spectrum. Through the comparison of the computed results of sound power, it is found that acoustic power spectrum from the 2-D cascade subject to a ingested turbulence can be categorized into two distinct regions. one is lower frequency region where some spectral components of turbulence do not contribute to the cut-on acoustic modes and therefore the effect of the cascade geometry is more dominant ; the other is higher frequency region where all of spectral components of turbulence make contributions to cut-on acoustic modes and thus acoustic power is approximately proportional to the blade number.

본 연구에서는 Gurney 플랩이 달린 NACA 0012 익형에 대한 플러터 해석을 시간 영역에서 수행하였다. 2차원 비정상 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 Lagrange 방정식으로 부터 유도한 2계 자유도 plunge & pitch 모델을 지배방정식으로 하여 연성 결합 기법을 통해 플러터 해석을 수행하였다. 계산 결과 Gurney 플랩을 장착할 경우 NACA 0012에 비해 플러터가 발생하는 속도가 낮아졌고, 마하수가 0.85보다 작은 영역에서는 Gurney 플랩의 플러터 경계 곡선은 안전 여유를 상회하는 영역에 위치하였다. 그러나, 마하수가 0.85에서 0.9사이일 경우에는 안전 여유에 근접하게 되므로 이러한 운용 영역에서는 Gurney 플랩의 사용에 주의를 요한다.

This study describes aerodynamic characteristics for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) rotor blade using general CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) code. The boundary conditions for analysis are validated with the experimental result by the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)/NASA Ames wind tunnel test for S809 airfoil. In the case of wind turbine rotor blade, complex phenomena are appeared such as flow separation and re-attachment. Those are handled by using a commercial flow analysis tool. The 2-equation k-$\omega$ SST turbulence model and transition model appear to be well suited for the prediction. The 3-dimensional phenomena in the HAWT rotor blade is simulated by a commercial 3-D aerodynamic analysis tool. Tip vortex geometry and Radial direction flows along the blade are checked by the analysis.

The proposed study aims to numerically investigate the performance of hydrofoils in the context of amphibious aircraft application. In particular, we also study the effectiveness of a slotted hydrofoil in minimizing the cavitation phenomenon, to improve the overall water take-off performance of an amphibious aircraft. We use the ICON A5 as a base model for this study. First, we propose an approach to estimate the required hydrofoil surface area and to select the most suitable airfoil shape that can minimize cavitation, thus improving the hydrodynamic efficiency. Once the hydrofoil is selected, we perform 2D numerical studies of the hydrodynamic and cavitating characteristics of a non-slotted hydrofoil on ANSYS Fluent. In this work, we also propose to use a slotted hydrofoil to be a passive method to control the cavitation performance through the boundary layer control. Numerical results of several slotted configurations demonstrate notable improvement on the cavitation performance. We then perform a multiobjective optimization with a response surface model to simultaneously minimize the cavitation and maximize the hydrodynamic efficiency of the hydrofoil. The optimization takes the slot geometry, including the slot angle and lengths, as the design variables. In addition, a global sensitivity study has been carried and it shows that the slot widths are the more dominant factors.

The effect of a continuous blowing or suction on an oscillating 2-D NACA0012 airfoil was investigated numerically for the dynamic stall control. The influence of control parameter variation was also studied in the view point of aerodynamic characteristics. The result showed that the blowing control kept a higher lift drag ratio before stall angle but the dynamic stall angle was not exceed to without control result. As the slot position was closer to leading edge, the positive control effect becomes greater. The stronger jet and the smaller jet angel made more favorable roles on the control performance. In the cases of the suction, the overall control features were similar to those of the blowing, but dynamic stall angle was increased, i.e. suction was more effective to control dynamic stall. It was also founded that the suction control was showed better control effect as the slot position moves to trail edge within thirty percentage of chord length. In the simulation for the jet strength and the jet angle control, the same tendencies were observed to those of blowing cases.
