This paper describes the flow measurements inside the blade passage of an axial flow fan by using a rotating hot-wire probe sensor from a relative flame of reference fixed to the rotor blades. The validity of fan rotor designed by a streamline curvature equation was performed by the measurement of the three-dimensional flow upstream and downstream of the fan rotor using a 5-hole pitot tube. The vortical flow structure near the rotor tip can be clearly observed by the measurements of a relative velocity and its fluctuation on quasi-orthogonal planes to a tip leakage vortex. Larger vortical flow, which results in higher blockage in the main flow, is formed according to decrease a flow rate. The vortical flow spreads out to the 30 percent span from the rotor tip at near stall condition. In the design operating condition, the tip leakage vortex is moved downstream while the center of the vortex keeps constant in the spanwise direction. Detailed characteristics of a velocity fluctuation with relation to the vortex were also analyzed.

선미 반류분포를 계측하기위해 수조에서 흔히 사용하는 5공 피토관의 새로운 캘리브레이션 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 한 각도(수평 또는 수직)만을 고려하는 1차원 캘리브레이션 방법과는 달리, 본 논문에서 제안한 2차원 차트 캘리브레이션 방법은 수평각과 수직각을 동시에 변화시켜 얻어진 2차원 차트를 이용하여 종전에 큰 각도에서 발생하던 오차를 줄임으로써 계측 정도를 크게 향상시켰다. 또한 종래의 1차원 방법에 맞추어 구성된 계측 시스템을 수정 없이 사용할 수 있도록 상관계수를 정의함으로써 사용의 편의를 도모하였다.

Aerodynamic optimization of an automotive air-conditioning blower is a hard task because of the highly complex flow phenomena related to three-dimensional flow separations and the unsteady nature caused by the interaction between primary and secondary air flows throughout the fan. In this paper, an aerodynamic study on a forward-curved centrifugal fan has been carried out Firstly we obtained the fan performance curves versus flow rates showing its unstable nature in the surging operation range. Secondly aerodynamic characterizations were carried out by investigating the velocity and pressure fields in the casing flow passage using a 5-hole pilot probe, at different operating conditions. Surface flow pattern near the cut-off area exhibits similar flow behavior above the best efficiency operating point, although the pressure level increases substantially with the Increase of flow rate. Vorticity in the casing passage flow occurs in all (low rates, downstream from the r-Z plane $\theta$=120 deg., where the position of its core changes with the circumferential location. Although complex, the general flow behavior were common, giving insight in its main aerodynamic features.

As current and future automobile emission regulations become more stringent, the research on flow distribution for an exhaust manifold and close-coupled catalyst(CCC) has become an interesting and remarkable subjects. The design of a CCC and exhaust manifold is a formidable task due to the complexity of the flow distribution caused by the pulsating flows from piston motion and engine combustion. Transient flow at the exhaust manifold can be analyzed with various computational fluid dynamics(CFD) tools. However, the results of such simulations must be verified with appropriate experimental data from real engine operating condition. In this study, an experimental approach was performed to investigate the flow distribution of exhaust gases for conventional cast types and stainless steel bending types of a four-cylinder engine. The pressure distribution of each exhaust sub-component was measured using a simulated dynamic flow bench and five-hole pitot probe. Moreover, using the results of the pitot tube measurement at the exit of the CCC, the flow distribution for two types of manifolds(cast type and bending type) was compared in terms of flow uniformity. Based on these experimental techniques, this study can be highly applicable to the design and optimization of exhaust for the better use of catalytic converters to meet the PZEV emission regulation.

Detailed characteristics of the mean flow field inside the rotor of a multiblade fan with scroll are presented in this paper by measurements and visualizations. The measurements were taken with a five-hole probe and conformed by smoke test. How field is distinguished clearly in 3 regions with respect to the flow directions. The first region is near the exit of scroll where the fluid flows the opposite direction to the rotation of rotor. The second is opposite side of the scroll exit where the fluid flows the same direction to the rotation of rotor. The third is the region where the fluid flows toward the blades directly with the largest values comparatively. The strongest recirculation is happened in the second region, and the weakest one is in the third region. This complex configuration makes the flow field highly non-uniform and may cause to generate a noise and ineffective flow efficiency.

5MW급 발전용 가스터빈의 주요 구성품 중 압축기에서의 성능시험 및 해석을 위해 측정 파라미터와 그 파라미터를 계측하기 위한 센서류를 선정하고자 한다. 축류압축기의 경우 각 단의 케이싱에서 정압 분포를 평균하여 계측하고, 내부 유동장에서 Kiel 온도관을 이용하여 전압 및 전온도 분포를 계측한다. 원심압축기의 경우 임펠러 출구의 허브면과 팁면에서의 정압 분포는 일반적으로 상당한 차이가 존재하므로 각 면에서 정압을 측정하여 평균하고, 디퓨저 내부와 디스월러 내부에서의 정압 분포를 계측하기 위해 한 피치에서 5개의 유선을 따라 10 곳에서 정압을 측정하고자 한다. 또한 압축기 내 유동특성과 동익-정익간의 상호작용을 고찰하기 위해 5공 피토관을 이용하여 내부 상세유동을 계측한다.
