  • Today, high-speed trains enjoy wide acceptance as fast, convenient and environment-friendly means of transportation. However, increase in the speed of the train entails a concomitant increase in the aerodynamic noise, adversely affecting the passenger comfort. At the train speed exceeding 300 km/h, the effects of turbulent flows and vortex sheddding are greatly amplified, contributing to a significant increase in the aerodynamic noise. Drawing a biomimetic analogy from low-noise flight of owl, a method to reduce aerodynamic noise at inter-coach space of high-speed trains is investigated. The proposed method attempts to achieve the noise reduction by modifying the turbulent flow and vortex shedding characteristics at the inter-coach space. To determine the aerodynamic noise at various train speeds, wind tunnel testing and numerical CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation for the basic inter-coach spacing model are carried out, and their results compared. The simulation and experimental results reveal that there are discrete frequency components associated with turbulent air flow at constant intervals in the frequency domain

  • Wind tunnel test is one of the most important means to study the flutter performance of bridges, but there are blockage effects in flutter test due to the size limitation of the wind tunnel. On the other hand, the size of computational domain can be defined by users in the numerical simulation. This paper presents a study on blockage effects of a simplified box girder by computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, the blockage effects on the aerodynamic characteristics and flutter performance of a long-span suspension bridge are studied. The results show that the aerodynamic coefficients and the absolute value of mean pressure coefficient increase with the increase of the blockage ratio. And the aerodynamic coefficients can be corrected by the mean wind speed in the plane of leading edge of model. At each angle of attack, the critical flutter wind speed decreases as the blockage ratio increases, but the difference is that bending-torsion coupled flutter and torsional flutter occur at lower and larger angles of attack respectively. Finally, the correction formula of critical wind speed at 0° angle of attack is given, which can provide reference for wind resistance design of streamlined box girders in practical engineering.

  • Cleft palate patients have general speech problems with resonance disorders and articulation disorders. The aim of this study is to find the aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of the nasalization in cleft palate speakers. Thirteen control groups and three cleft palate patients pre- and post operation were selected for these studies. The test words are composed by polysyllabic words: consonants between high vowel /i/ analysis. The cleft palate patients repeated test words pre- and post-operation from one, three and six month periods. The subjects repeated test words on Macquirer and on Nasometer Model 6200-3. The aerodynamic and acoustic results of nasalization show as follows: (1) The nasal rate in overall airflow of aspirated consonant for cleft palate patients shows higher levels than that of the control group. It had decreased since one month after operation. (2) The overall airflow of cleft palate patients is higher than in the control group, however oral air pressure is lower than control group. (3) The nasal airflow and the nasal rate in overall airflow of cleft palate patients has higher than the control group, however its decreased after operation. (4) The nasalance scores of cleft palate patients were 40% higher than that of the control group. The scores did not decrease after operation. The nasalance score of lateral and fricative sounds did not decrease after operation.

  • A dragonfly inspired flapping wing is investigated in this paper. The flapping wing is actuated from the root by a PZT-5H and PZN-7%PT single crystal unimorph in the piezofan configuration. The non-linear governing equations of motion of the smart flapping wing are obtained using the Hamilton's principle. These equations are then discretized using the Galerkin method and solved using the method of multiple scales. Dynamic characteristics of smart flapping wings having the same size as the actual wings of three different dragonfly species Aeshna Multicolor, Anax Parthenope Julius and Sympetrum Frequens are analyzed using numerical simulations. An unsteady aerodynamic model is used to obtain the aerodynamic forces. Finally, a comparative study of performances of three piezoelectrically actuated flapping wings is performed. The numerical results in this paper show that use of PZN-7%PT single crystal piezoceramic can lead to considerable amount of wing weight reduction and increase of lift and thrust force compared to PZT-5H material. It is also shown that dragonfly inspired smart flapping wings actuated by single crystal piezoceramic are a viable contender for insect scale flapping wing micro air vehicles.

  • Large Eddy Simulations (LES) were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a rectangular cylinder with side ratio B/D=5 at Reynolds number Re=22,000 (based on cylinder thickness). Particular attention was devoted to the effects of velocity shear in the oncoming flow. Time-averaged and unsteady flow patterns around the cylinder were studied to enhance understanding of the effects of velocity shear. The simulation results showed that the Strouhal number has no significant variation with oncoming velocity shear, while the peak fluctuation frequency of the drag coefficient becomes identical to that of the lift coefficient with increase in velocity shear. The intermittently-reattached flow that features the aerodynamics of the 5:1 rectangular cylinder in non-shear flow becomes more stably reattached on the high-velocity side, and more stably separated on the low-velocity side. Both the mean and fluctuating drag coefficients increase slightly with increase in velocity shear. The mean and fluctuating lift and moment coefficients increase almost linearly with velocity shear. Lift force acts from the high-velocity side to the low-velocity side, which is similar to that of a circular cylinder but opposite to that of a square cylinder under the same oncoming shear flow.

  • A spike attached to a blunt nosed body significantly alters its flow field and influences the aerodynamic coefficients at hypersonic speed. The basic body is an axisymmetric, with a hemisphere nose followed by a cylindrical portion. Five different types of spikes, namely, conical aerospike, hemisphere aerospike, flat-face aerospike, hemisphere aerodisk and flat-face aerodisk are attached to the basic body in order to assess the aerodynamic characteristic. The spiked blunt body without the aerospike or aerodisk has been set to be a basic model. The coefficients of drag, lift and pitching moment were measured with and without blunt spike body for the length-to-diameter ratio (L/D) of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0, at Mach 6 and angle of attack up to 8 degrees using a strain gauge balance. The measured forces and moment data are employed to determine the relative performance of the aerodynamic with respect to the basic model. A maximum of 77 percent drag reduction was achieved with hemisphere aerospike of L/D = 2.0. The comparison of aerodynamic coefficients between the basic model and the spiked blunt body reveals that the aerodynamic drag and pitching moment coefficients decrease with increasing the L/D ratio and angle of attack but the lift coefficient has increasing characteristics.

  • 열차가 고속으로 터널을 진입할 때 압축파가 발생하게 된다. 이 압축파가 터널 출구부에 도달하면 일부는 외부로 방출되고 일부는 팽창파의 형태로 반사되어 터널내부로 전파된다. 이러한 파는 충격파의 형태로 외부로 방출되는데, 이를 미기압(micro pressure wave)이라고 한다. 미기압파는 터널 출구부에 소음 및 진동문제를 일으키며, 이 현상이 클수록 민가 및 주변 유리창에 손상과 거주자의 불안을 일으키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 고속철도 건설을 위해서는 미기압에 대한 대책과 이에 대한 예측이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 운영중인 터널에서의 미기압 측정사례와 터널내 압력기울기에 대한 수치해석을 통하여, 차량의 전두부 형상 및 터널 갱구부 형상에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과로, 본 연구에서는 미기압파의 강도를 예측하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 통해서 터널 연장과 단면적에 따른 미기압 강도를 해석하였다.

  • 전술 표적에 대한 정보를 획득하기 위해 전투기에 탑재하는 EO/IR 정찰용 파드는 일반적으로 항공기 동체 하단에 장착 운영한다. 이러한 외부 장착물을 장착한 항공기는 외부 장착물 없이 비행하는 항공기에 비하여 복잡한 공력 및 관성력 특성을 갖기 때문에 개발 초기에 개발 위험요소를 사전에 식별하여 설계에 반영할 수 있는 시스템 성능 분석 도구가 필수적으로 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고기동 환경에서 안정적으로 측정 데이터를 획득할 수 있는 파드를 개발하기 위해 필요한 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 도구 개발 방안을 제시하였다. 우선, 고기동 항공기에 탑재한 파드의 한계 운용조건을 도출하고, 한계 운용조건에 따른 탑재 파드의 공력 및 관성 하중을 분석하였으며, 탑재파드를 장착한 항공기의 임무 모사를 통한 비행데이터 생성 및 전송 시스템을 개발하였다.

  • 항공기의 안전성 확보 및 투하되는 탄의 정확도 증대를 위한 새로운 개념의 활공비행체 개발이 많은 기업에서 진행 중에 있다. 항공기의 장착 공간 및 활공거리 증대를 고려하여 세장비가 큰 전개되는 날개를 채택하는 것이 일반적이다. 큰 세장비의 날개 구조물은 상대적으로 낮은 강성에 의하여 과도한 탄성변형 뿐 아니라 플러터 발생의 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 본 연구는 큰 세장비 날개에 대하여 유체-공력 연계기법을 이용, 구조변형에 의한 공력특성의 변화 및 플러터 발생가능성에 대하여 검토하였다. 공기력 계산을 위하여 FLUENT 코드가 구조 동특성 해석을 위하여 ABAQUS 상용코드가 사용되었으며, 국부지지 방사기저함수로 구성된 Code-bridge를 이용한 입력 자료의 보간 및 사상을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 고려된 활공 조건에서 구조 변형에 의한 공력 특성의 변화가 발생하는 것이 관측되었으며, 이에 의한 진동도 계속적으로 발생되는 것으로 표현되었다.

  • The aircrafts with high aspect ratio wings made by a composite material have been developed, which enable high energy efficiency and long-term flight by reducing air resistance and structural weight. However, they have difficulties in securing the aeroelastic stability such as the flutter because of their long and flexible wings. The flutter is unstable self-excited-vibration caused by interaction between the structural dynamics and the aerodynamics. It should be verified analytically prior to first flight test that the flutter does not happen in the range of flight mission. Normally, the finite element model is used for the flutter analysis. So it is important to construct the finite element model representing dynamic characteristics similar to those of a real aircraft. Accordingly, in this research, to acquire dynamic characteristics experimentally the modal test of the aircraft with high aspect ratio composite wings was conducted. And then the modal parameters from the finite element analysis(FEA) were compared with those from the modal test. To make analysis results closer to test results, the finite element model was updated by means of the sensitivity analysis on variables and the optimization. Finally, it was proved that the updated finite element model is reliable as compared with the results of the modal test.
