Recently, the weight of train is decreased by using the light material for improvement in energy efficiency. And the length of whole train is more increased for mass transportation of passengers and cargo. However, decrease of the weight and increase of the length of train can cause the train to be overturned or derailed by strong crosswind. In case of Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX), the situation can be more severe. TTX will be developed for a quasi-high speed train at 200km/h speed rate and operated on the existing tracks. Moreover, the weight of TTX will be much less than that of conventional train. It is supposed that TTX will be very sensitive to crosswind. In this paper, numerical analysis is used to investigate aerodynamic characteristics around TTX and obtain the induced lateral force by crosswind. After calculating derailment coefficient and overturning coefficient using numerical results, the crosswind safety of TTX is judged. This paper will be good data for judging crosswind safety of TTX.

It is not easy to detect nano-sized airborne particles (< 100 nm in diameter) in air. Therefore, the condensation of the nanoparticles alongside of the size-classification is needed for their detection. This paper proposes a hybrid (aerodynamic+electrical) particle classification and condensation device using a micro virtual impactor (${\mu}VI$). The ${\mu}VI$ can classify the nanoparticles according to their size and condense the number concentration of nanoparticles interested. Firstly, the classification efficiency of the ${\mu}VI$ was measured for the particles, polystyrene latex (PSL), ranging from 80 to 250 nm in diameter. Secondly, the nanoparticles, NaCl of 50 nm in diameter, were condensed by 4 times higher. In consequence, the output signal was amplified by 4 times (before condensation: 4 fA, after condensation: 16 fA). It is expected that the proposed device will facilitate the detection of nanoparticles.

Experiments were done for the comparison of performance and flow characteristics between a two stage axial flow fan and a counter-rotating axial flow fm. The fan performance curves were obtained by the Korean Standard Testing Methods for Turbo Fans and Blowers (KS B 6311). The fan flow characteristics were measured using a five-hole probe by the non-nulling method. Each stage of the two stage axial flow fan used for the present study has an eight bladed rotor and thirteen stator blades. The front and the rear rotor of the counter-rotating axial flow fan have eight blades each and are driven by coaxial counter rotating shafts through a gear box located between the rear rotor and the electric motor. Both of the two axial fan configurations use identical rotor blades and the same operating conditions for the one-to-one comparison of the two. Performance characteristics of the two configurations were obtained and compared by varying the blade setting angles and axial gaps between the blade rows. The passage flow fields between the hub and tip of the fans were measured and analyzed for the particular operating conditions of peak efficiency, minimum and maximum pressure coefficients.

A low-noise regenerative blower is developed for fuel cell application by combining the FANDAS-Regen code and design optimization algorithm under several performance constraints for flow capacity, static pressure, efficiency and power consumption. The optimized blower design model is manufactured with some impeller modification based on low noise design concept and tested by using aerodynamic performance chamber facility and narrow-band noise measurement apparatus. The measured results of the optimized blower satisfy the performance requirements and are also compared favorably with the FANDAS-Regen prediction results within a few percent relative error. Furthermore, the present study shows the remarkable noise reduction by 26 dBA can be achieved through design optimization and low noise design concept.

This paper describes aerodynamic characteristics of an Archimedes spiral wind turbine with various angles of attack. The range of angles was controlled from $-30^{\circ}$ (clockwise) to $+30^{\circ}$ (clockwise). The rotating speed of wind turbine at the same angle of attack in both directions was different. The reason why the-maximum rotational speed was observed at $15^{\circ}$ in clockwise direction can be explained based on angular momentum conservation. Quantitative flow visualization around Archimedes wind turbine blade was carried out between $-15^{\circ}$ (clockwise) and $+15^{\circ}$ (counter clockwise) using high resolution PIV method. The relationship between drag force and rotating speeds was discussed. From these results, optimum design on yawing system of Archimedes spiral wind turbine may provide high efficiency on small wind power system.

A numerical technique for simulating the separation dynamics of strap-on boosters jettisoned in the dense atmosphere is presented. Six degree of freedom rigid body equations of motion are integrated into the three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes solution procedure to determine the dynamic motions of strap-ons. An automated Chimera overlaid grid technique is introduced to achieve maximum efficiency for multi-body dynamic motion and a domain division technique is implemented in order to reduce the computational cost required to find interpolation points in the Chimera grids. The flow solver is validated by comparing the computed results around the Titan IV launch vehicle with experimental data. The complete analysis process is then applied to the. H-II launch vehicle, the central rocket in japans space program, the CZ-3C launch vehicle developed in China and the KSR-III, a three-stage sounding rocket being developed in Korea. From the analyses, separation trajectories of strap-on boosters are predicted and aerodynamic characteristics around the vehicles at every time interval are examined. In addition, separation-impulse devices generally introduced for safe separation of strap-ons are properly modeled in the present paper and the jettisoning force requirements are examined quantitatively.

항공기의 설계는 공력, 구조, 조정성등 여러 가지 단위 기술들을 모두 고려하여야 하며, 성능의 향상을 위해서는 각각의 단위 기술들이 보다 정확해야하며, 단위 기술들의 상호작용이 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 단위 기술 중 항공기 성능에 가장 중요한 영향을 주는 공력과 구조를 전산유체역학(CFD)기법과 유한요소법(FEM)을 사용하여 보다 정확히 해석하고자 하였으며, 설계의 안전성을 위해 공력과 구조의 상호작용인 공탄성 효과를 고려하였다. 최적화 알고리즘으로는 전역최적해를 구하기 위해 유전 알고리즘의 일종인 PBIL 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, PBIL 알고리즘 자체를 병렬화하여 과도한 계산 시간을 줄이고자 하였다. 현재의 설계방법의 정확성과 효율성을 검증하기 위해 주어진 항공기 날개에 대하여 설계를 수행하였다.

In this paper, a computational study was conducted in order to investigate the rotor blade sweep effect on the aerodynamics of a small axial supersonic impulse turbine stage. For this purpose, three-dimensional unsteady RANS simulations have been performed with three different rotor blade sweep angles ($-15^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$, $+15^{\circ}$) and the results were compared with each other. Both NTG (No tip gap) and WTG (With tip gap) models were applied to examine the effect on tip leakage flow. As a result of the simulation, the positive sweep model ($+15^{\circ}$) showed better performance in relative flow angle, Mach number distribution, entropy rise, and tip leakage mass flow rate compared with no sweep model. With the blade static pressure distribution result, the positive sweep model showed that hub and tip loading was increased and midspan loading was reduced compared with no sweep model while the negative sweep model ($-15^{\circ}$) showed the opposite result. The positive sweep model also showed a good aerodynamic performance around the hub region compared with other models. Overall, the positive sweep angle enhanced the turbine efficiency.

본 연구에서는 터보펌프 터빈 블레이드 형상을 구성하고 있는 요소들 중 슈라우드와 필릿, 그리고 블레이드 모서리 둥글기가 블레이드의 응력에 미치는 구조적인 영향을 조사하였다. 슈라우드는 터빈의 공력적 효율을 높이기 위하여 흔히 삽입되는 링 형상의 테두리이며, 모든 블레이드와 연결되어 있어 블레이드의 변형을 구속하는 역할을 한다. 한편 블레이드와 허브면, 그리고 블레이드와 슈라우드면 사이의 모서리에는 보통 응력 완화를 위하여 적정 반지름을 가진 필릿이 삽입되고 블레이드 모서리에는 적절한 둥글기가 삽입되는데, 본 연구에서는 슈라우드의 두께와 필릿, 그리고 모서리 둥글기의 반지름 변화에 따른 블레이드 최대 응력을 조사하여 이들 형상 요소가 터보펌프 블레이드의 안전성에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다.
