Tip clearance losses occur in every turbomachine. To estimate the losses in efficiency it is important to understand the mechanism of this secondary flow. Tip clearance losses are mainly caused by a spiral vortex formed on the suction side of the blade of a turbomachine, which induces a drag and also has an influence on the incident flow of the blades. In this paper a physical based scaling method is developed out of an analytical ansatz for the tip clearance losses. This scaling method is validated by measurements on an axial fan with five different tip clearances.

The flows in an axial flow turbomachine are calculated numerically in the two sets of flow surfaces of H-S and B-B surfaces assuming that the flow is axisymmetric. The calculation is performed by regarding the governing equations as the quasi-Poisson's equations and using the finite element method for the flow regions divided into triangular elements. The results of numerical calculation agree comparatively well with the experimental results and it has been found that the distribution of an axial velocity component at the rotor exit is not necessarily uniform under the influences of the inlet guide vanes and the front shape of the hub even if the rotor is designed by the free-vortex theory. Also it has been found that the existence of the optimum value of the blade number can be estimated from the results of calculation of deviation angles at rotor exit if we consider the viscous flow-loss, and that the flows of B-B surfaces are affected very sensitively by the degree of satisfaction of Kutta condition.

For proper installation, operation and performance of axial flow jet engines in aircrafts, the impacts and effects of inlet flow distortion in axial compressors have to be understood. Inlet distortion conditions may cause component-mismatch and instability problems known as rotating stall, and severe oscillations of mass flow rate called surge or a combination of both. Typical effects of this phenomenon include stresses and wear on the compressor blading, destruction of entire jet engines due to the failure of airfoil and mechanical failure or interruption of the combustion process. Therefore, it is important to study inlet flow distortion and its propagation effects to minimize and hence to prevent the occurrence of such calamity. The current novel integral method with parametric analysis signifies its validity to this field of research and offers much potential for further improvements. The present effort further indicates that this simple method may be flourishing in the problems of strongly distorted flow and propagating stall in axial compressor. It is therefore believe that using a more realistic and flexible velocity and pressure profiles could develop this approach further.

본 연구에서는 누설와류는 유동에 영향을 미치며 에너지 손실로 된다. 누설 와류에 의한 손실은 다른 원인에 의한 손실에 비교하여 그 비중이 크다. 따라서 누 설와류 특성을 이해하기 위해 설계영각(.alpha.=10.7˚)에서 절현비를 t/C=0.90와 2.71로 바꾸고, 또 절현비가 설계절현비 t/C=0.90일 경우에 영각을 설계 영각 .alpha.=10.7˚와 실 속점의 영각 .alpha.=18.9˚사이에서 바꾸어 회전익 후방의 회전유동장을 측정하여 누설와 류의 거동을 연구하였다.

축류 팬(axial fan)은 팬이 회전하면서 작은 압력 상승을 만들어 다량의 공기를 불어주는 유체 기계로써 최근 축류 팬의 소음 저감이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 팬 주위의 유동 소음을 해석하는 MPI 병렬프로그램 방법 및 최적화 기법에 대해 다룬다. 이때 수억 개 이상의 격자에서 수만 포인트의 소음원을 해석하기 위해서 2차원 도메인 분할 방법을 사용해서 MPI 병렬화를 하였다. 이때 대규모 계산 시 MPI 프로세스 간의 통신이 많이 발생하여 성능이 심각하게 느려지는 현상이 발생한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 MPI 일방향 통신을 적용하였다. 뿐만 아니라 통신 및 메모리 최적화 방법을 통해 최대 2.97배 향상시켰다. 마지막으로 KISTI 타키온2 슈퍼컴퓨터를 활용하여 전체 시뮬레이션 실험에서 유동 계산 시 6,144코어에서 최대 12배, 소음 계산 시 128코어에서 최대 6배의 성능향상을 달성하였다.

Thin circular-arc blade is often used as a guide vane, a deflecting vane, or a rotating blade of low pressure axial-flow turbomachine because of its easy manufacture. Ordinary design of the blade elements of these machines is done by use of the carpet diagrams for a cascade of circular-arc blades. However, the application of the carpet diagrams is limited to relatively low cambered blade operating under optimum inlet flow conditions. In order to extend the applicable range, additional design data is necessary. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a promising method to get these data. In this paper, two-dimensonal cascade performances of circular-arc blade are widely analyzed with CFD. The results have been compared with the results of experiment and potential theory, and useful information has been obtained. Turning angle and total pressure loss coefficients are satisfactorily predicted for lowly cambered blade. For high camber angle of $67^{\circ}$, the CFD results agree with experiment for the angle of attack less than that for shockless inlet condition.

The regenerative pump is a kind of turbomachine which is capable of developing high pressure rise at relatively lower flow rates compared to the centrifugal and axial pumps. Although the efficiency of regenerative pumps is much lower than other turbomachines, still they have been widely used in many industrial applications for working at low specific speeds. There are some theoretical models to analysis the pump performance, however, the effect of the blade angle on the pump performance has not been covered in any model to date. In the present study, experimental study on the regenerative pump performance according to the impeller blade angle and its shape has been carried out. The straight radial blades with forward, backward and chevron blades which have inclined angles of $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ were tested. The pump performance characteristics as the pressure head, efficiency were obtained depending on the flow rate for every impeller, and their results, expressed in appropriate non-dimensional coefficients, were compared and analysed in detail. From the experimental results, it was found that the pressure head and the efficiency depend strongly on the blade angles as well as the blade type. These experimental data has made it possible to better understand the effects of the blade angle on the pump performance, and widen the applicability of the current performance analysis and design models with including the effect of blade angles.

터보기계 내부 유동장은 역압력구배, 고속 유동으로 인해 매우 복잡하며, 이를 해석하기 위해 보다 정교한 난류 모델이 요구된다. 유동 해석을 위해 대수모델, 2-방정식 와점도 모델 등이 널리 사용되고 있으나, 매우 복잡한 유동을 모사하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 복잡한 유동에서의 예측성능이 우수하다고 알려진 Durbin의 V2-F난류 모델을 자체 개발 코드인 T-Flow에 적용하였으며, 채널 및 압축기 캐스캐이드 유동 해석 결과를 이용하여 난류 모델을 검증하였다. 또한 저속 압축기 동익 해석을 통해 터보기계 내부 유동에서의 적용 가능성을 판단하였다. 그 결과, V2-F난류 모델은 1-방정식, 2방정식 난류 모델보다 우수한 블레이드 표면 압력 분포 예측성능을 보였다.
