Dispersion of coolant jets in a film cooling flow field is the result of a highly complex interaction between the film cooling jets and the mainstream. In order to investigate the effect of blowing ratios on the film cooling of a turbine blade, cylindrical body model is used. Mainstream Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter is $7.1{\times}10^4$. The effects of coolant flow rates are studied for blowing ratios of 0.7, 1.0, 1.3 and 1.7, respectively. The temperature distribution of the cylindrical model surface is visualized with infrared thermography (IRT). Results show that the film cooling performance could be significantly improved by the shaped injection holes. For higher blowing ratio, the spanwise-diffused injection holes are better due to the lower momentum flux away from the wall plane at the hole exit.

The losses at off-design points from a compressor cascade occur due to the deviation from a design incidence angle at the inlet of the cascade. The self-noise from the blade cascade at off-design points comes from a separated boundary layer and vortex sheddings. If the incidence angle to the cascade increases, stalling in blades may occur and the noise level increases significantly. This study applied Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) using deductive and deductive dynamic SGS models to low Mach-number, turbulent flow with each incidence angle to the cascade ranging from -40$^{\circ}$ to +20$^{\circ}$ and compared numerical predictions with measured data. It was observed that the oscillating separation bubbles attached to the suction surface do not modify wake flows dynamically for cases of negative incidence angles. However, an incidence angle greater than 8$^{\circ}$ caused a separated vortex near the leading edge to be shed downstream and created stalling. The computed performance parameters such as drag coefficient and total pressure loss coefficient showed good agreement with experimental results. Noise from the cascade of the compressor is summarized as sound generated by a structure interacting with unsteady, turbulent flows. The hybrid method using acoustic analogy was observed to closely predict the measured overall sound powers and directivity patterns at design and off-design points of blade cascade.

본 연구에서는 액체로켓엔진의 터보펌프용 초음속 터빈 로터 블레이드에 스윕 각도 ${\pm}15^{\circ}$를 적용하여 전방스윕(FSW), 후방스윕(BSW)모델의 유동형태 및 성능을 기준모델(NSW)과 비교하여 스윕 적용의 효과를 살펴보았다. 3차원 Navier-Stokes 유동해석에는 상용 코드인 FLUENT 6.3 Parallel을 사용하였다. BSW 모델은 기준 모델(NSW)에 비해 팁 간극으로 빠져나가는 누설 손실량을 줄이는데 효과가 있었고 정효율 증가에도 영향을 미쳤다. BSW 모델은 앞전 충격파의 강도를 다소 완화 시키고 허브 부근의 영역에서 다른 모델에 비해 좋은 성능을 보인다.

RANS 방정식의 수치 해법을 사용해서 선박용 추진기 주의의 점성 유동을 계산함으로써 모형 프로펠러 3개(P4119, P4842, KRISO 포드 프로펠러)의 단독 성능을 해석하였다. 프로펠러 단독성능과 날개 압력 분포 그리고 프로펠러 근방의 평균 속도 분포에 대한 본 연구의 수치 해석 결과를 실험 결과와 비교하였으며, 대체로 두 결과가 서로 잘 일치하는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, 프로펠러 날개 앞날의 압력과 포드 프로펠러의 단독 성능에 대한 본 연구의 결과는 실험 결과와 잘 맞지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, design optimization for mixed-flow pump impellers and diffusers has been studied using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code and DOE (design of experiments). We also discussed how to improve the performance of the mixed-flow pump by designing the impeller and diffuser. Geometric design variables were defined by the vane plane development, which indicates the blade-angle distributions and length of the impeller and diffusers. The vane plane development was controlled using the blade-angle in a fixed meridional shape. First, the design optimization of the defined impeller geometric variables was achieved, and then the flow characteristics were analyzed in the point of incidence angle at the diffuser leading edge for the optimized impeller. Next, design optimizations of the defined diffuser shape variables were performed. The importance of the geometric design variables was analyzed using $2^k$ factorial designs, and the design optimization of the geometric variables was determined using the response surface method (RSM). The objective functions were defined as the total head and the total efficiency at the design flow rate. Based on the comparison of CFD results between the optimized pump and base design models, the reason for the performance improvement was discussed.

터빈스테이지는 정익과 동익으로 구성되어 있다. 정익은 동익이 필요한 축 파워를 내도록 입구조건을 만들어준다. 정익 끝단에서 발생된 후류는 동익과 간섭을 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 정익 동익간의 간섭현상을 고찰하였다. 정익과 동익의 간격이 큰 경우, 유동해석은 독립적으로 수행 될 수 있다. 정익 주위의 유동을 해석한 후, 발생되는 후류특성을 계산하여 동익의 유동해석에 포함시키었다. 정익에서 발생된 후류는 동익에 접근함에 따라 구부러지고 절단되며 흐름방향으로 연장되는 특성을 가지고 있다. 또한 정익과 동익 간격 영향을 고찰하였으며 그 간격이 가까울수록 후류의 압력 피크로 인한 압력 및 양력손실이 커짐을 알 수 있다.

As a core component of a hydropower station, hydro turbines play a vital role in the integration of a power station. Research on the technology of hydro turbine is continuously increasing with the development of water electricity. On the basis of one-dimensional loss analysis, for three-dimension design, there are a lot of dimension of the internal flow passage shapes that are determined by experience. Therefore, the effect of the internal flow passage shapes on the performance and internal flow characteristics of a Francis hydro turbine model is investigated in this study. In this study, the small curvature of runner blade trailing edge shape is good for improving the efficiency of Francis turbine. The straight stay vane leading edge is good for suppressing the secondary flow. Moreover, suitable tongue passage shape and stay vane number improve the performance of the turbine considerably.

Three-dimensional vortical flow and separated flow topology near the casing wall in an axial flow fan having two different tip clearances have been investigated by a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) flow simulation. The simulation shows that the tip leakage vortex formed close to the leading edge of the blade tip on suction side grows in the streamwise direction. On the casing wall, a separation line is formed upstream of the leakage vortex center due to the interference between the leakage vortex and main flow. The reverse flow is observed between the separation line and the attachment line generated downstream of the trailing edge, and increased with enlarging tip clearance. The patterns of a leakage velocity vector including a leakage flow rate are also analyzed according to two tip clearances. It is noted that the understanding of the distribution of a limiting streamline on the casing wall is very important to grasp the characteristics of the vortical flow in the axial flow fan.

In recent years, propellers with various blade configurations such as highly skewed propellers are often fitted to ships from the viewpoint of reduction of vibration and noise. In the design of such propellers, design charts based on methodical series tests are to be complemented by theoretical calculations for accurate estimation of propeller open-water characteristics. The author intended to develop a method to estimate propeller open-water characteristics based on Quasi -Vortex - Lattice Method originally developed by Lan for solving planar thin wings, The Quasi - Vortex - Lattice Method has the simplicity and flexibility of Vortex - Lattice Method. Its accuracy is comparable to that of the Vortex - Lattice Method. Converged solution can be obtained with a small number of control points and further, leading edge suction force can be calculated directly. In the present paper, a numerical method to estimate propeller open-water characteristics based on the Quasi - Vortex - Lattice Method is reviewed and its application to marine propellers is described in detail. Comparison of propeller open-water characteristics obtained by the present method with experimental data showed good agreement for a wide variety of propellers including highly skewed propellers.
