In the present study, the effect of pitch amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of a NACA 0012 airfoil is numerically investigated. When the frequency ratio is equal to 1.0, airfoil pitching with 20 and 30 degrees of pitch amplitude shows almost small lift generation, but the lift is significantly increased in case of 10-degree pitch amplitude. When the frequency is 0.5, the lift coefficients have large values, and the lift increases with a decrease in pitch amplitude. When the frequency ratio is 1.0, the airfoil generates large thrust. The thrust decreases as the pitch amplitude decreases. When the frequency ratio is 0.5, drag is generated for the 30-degree pitch amplitude, but the thrust is generated for 10-degree pitch amplitude. In future, the effect of heave amplitude on the unsteady aerodynamics of the airfoil will be studied.

In this study, we have constructed the method of design about H-Darrieus wind turbine, a kind of VAWT(vertical axis wind turbine). The NACA 0012 airfoil is chosen for the blade, and DMS(double multiple streamtube) theory is used for the analysis. The flow field is computed with numerical solution of rotating Navier-Stokes equations. From the result of experimental data of power coefficient curves, the validity of the present research is checked. Through the non-dimensional parameter analysis for the wind turbine design, we estimated the efficiency of wind turbine with the resultant Cp's, with which an efficient design of VAWT is achieved, and aerodynamic characteristics are presented systematically.

Developed is a computer program for the prediction of the aero-acoustic performance characteristics such as discharge pressure, efficiency, power and noise level in the basic design step of axial flow fan. The flow field and the aerodynamic performance of fan are analyzed by using the streamline curvature computing scheme with total pressure loss and flow deviation models. Fan noise is assumed to be generated due to the pressure fluctuations induced by wake vortices of fan blades and to radiate via dipole distribution. The vortex-induced fluctuating pressure on blade surface is calculated by combining thin airfoil theory and the predicted flow field data. The predicted aerodynamic performances, sound pressure level and noise directivity patterns of fan by the present computer program are favorably compared with the test data of actual fan. Furthermore, the present computer program is shown to be very useful in optimizing design variables of fan with high efficiency and low noise level and in analyzing their design sensitivities.

본 연구에서는 XFOIL을 사용하여 설계된 30% 두께를 가지며 팁에서의 두께가 코드의 1.5%인 풍력터빈용 에어포일의 공력 특성을 해석하였다. 받음각에 따른 양력 항력 곡선 및 양항비를 XFOIL에서 얻어낸 결과와 EDISON_CFD 해석 결과를 상호 비교 하였다. EDISON_CFD에서의 해석을 위한 격자의 형태를 격자균일성을 생각하여 큰 타원과 작은 타원을 합쳐 만들었다. 수치 기법으로 Roe의 FDS를 선택하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 그 결과로 나타낸 압력계수와 양항비 그래프를 보면 선형 구간에서 양력은 XFOIL 해석 결과와 잘 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 항력에서 약1.5배 정도 EDISON_CFD의 결과가 크게 나옴으로써 양항비의 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 실속이후에서는 XFOIL의 신뢰도가 떨어지는 경향이 있어 특히 실속이후에서는 CFD의 해석결과가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

지난 수십 년간 유체역학적인 관점에서 곤충이나 새의 움직임을 모방하기 위해 진동하는 익형(pitching airfoil)과 동적 실속에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 유동박리가 일어나지 않는 범위 내에서 진동하는 익형의 특성에 대한 연구는 보기 드물다. 또한 기존의 유동박리가 일어나지 않는 영역에서 익형의 진동 현상에 대해 수행된 연구는 수중과 같이 낮은 레이놀즈수에서 수렴되었기 때문에, 공기 중과 같이 높은 레이놀즈수에서 유동현상과 다른 특성을 보여주고 있을 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 높은 레이놀즈수에서의 다양한 환산 진동수, 받음각진폭, 익형에 따른 공력특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 익형의 진동으로 인한 양력계수의 차이는 작음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 높은 환산 진동수에서 익형의 항력계수가 감소하는 경향이 나타나며, 이로 인해 높은 환산 진동수에서 수치적으로 추력이 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The lift and the drag coefficient of S-809 airfoil were predicted via X-FOIL and also the post stall characteristics of S-809 were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the wind tunnel test results, performed by Sommers in Delft university of technology. The rated power of the testing rotor is 20kW(FIL-20) at design conditions. The experimental aerodynamic parameters and the X-FOIL data were used for the power prediction of the FIL-20 respectively. The comparison results shows good agreement in power prediction.

In the present paper, a flap was optimized to maximize the lift. A 2-element fowler flap system was utilized for optimization with an initial shape of general aviation airfoil and a flap shape designed by Wentz. Response surface method and Hicks-Henne shape function were implemented for optimization. 2-D Navier-Stokes method was used to solve flow field around aGA(W)-1 airfoil with a fowler flap. Commercial programs including Visual-Doc, Gambit/Tgridand Fluent were used. Upper surface shape and the flap gap were optimized and lift for landing condition was improved considerably. The original and optimized flaps were tested in the KARI's 1-m low speed wind tunnel to examine changes in aerodynamic characteristics. For optimized flap tests, the similar trend to prediction could be seen but stall angle of attack was lower than what was expected. Also, less gap than optimized design delayed stall and produced better lift characteristics. This is believed to be the effect of turbulence model.

The changing process from hovering mode to transition one is of importance to determine a stability of tilt-rotor aircraft, which is utilized in UAV(Unmaned Aerial Vehicle). The analysis on fluid flows and aerodynamic characteristics according to variation of tilting angle of rotor is essential step in development of tilt-rotor. In the present study, the computation domain is divided into the rotating and stationary regions in order to consider the rotating blades. For the convenient realization of various tilting angle as well as application of boundary condition, the whole computation region is constructed into sphere domain. The near farfield boundary condition is adopted. The airfoil used in computation is NACA 0012. The computation results for the hovering mode are validated by comparing with previously conducted experimental results. From the results, the flow fields around rotor blade and the aerodynamic characteristics in transition mode are observed. The computational result will provide the basis for development and performance evaluation of tilt-type aircraft.
