In this study, we have established the design techniques, with which we can design and evaluate performance of blades on a horizontal axis current turbine, by application of blade element momentum theory considering the blade tip's loss model, and finally developed the domestic software(MCT-blade V2.0). We have designed and evaluated performance of blades for the 2MW class by using of the software, and confirmed its calculation results from BEMT by comparing those results from commercial code of ANSYS FLUENT. In a state of rated velocity 2.5m/s, the mechanical power from BEMT is calculated as 2,121kW, which is considered to satisfy the electrical power, but the value from CFD is calculated as 1,901kW, which is considered a little deficient for the target output.

The numerical analyses for each single simplified shaft with three type openings were carried out by using computational fluid dynamics model for the calculation of the pressure difference and the location of the neutral plane and the visualization of stack effect. As the height of shaft heighten, the pressure difference of stack effect is much deviated against the theoretical value. For the Type A models shorter than 30 m height of shaft and the Type B models longer than 30m, the simulation results for the location of the neutral plane are well agreed to the theoretical values with 5% less deviations just after the beginning of simulation (t = 10s). For the Type B models longer than 30m with multiple openings, therefore, it is possible to calculate the location of the neutral plane by using a CFD model. The phenomenon of the air flow of stack effect can be easily understood with the visualization of stack effect.

연료효율에 대한 선주들의 요구와 그린쉽이라는 사회적 흐름에 맞춰 현재 연료 절감 장치에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 KVLCC2M의 반류개선 및 연료효율 증가를 위한 반원형 덕트의 변수 연구를 진행하였으며, 계산의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해 서울대학교 선박저항성능 연구실에서 실시한 모형 시험결과와 비교하였다. 반원형 덕트의 크기와 길이방향 위치를 설계변수로 설정하여, 총 12가지 경우에 대한 CFD 계산을 시행하였으며, 계산 결과를 유동 정류를 통한 저항 감소와 반류 개선을 통한 프로펠러의 성능 개선 이라는 두 가지 기준으로 최적 조건을 선정하였다. 또한, 후처리를 통해 계산 결과를 추가적으로 분석하여 에너지 절감의 이론적인 배경을 찾았으며, 이를 바탕으로 반원형 덕트를 개선하여 부채꼴형 덕트를 새로이 설계하였다. 이에 대한 추가적인 계산 결과 최대 4%의 연료절감 효과를 최종 확인하였다.

현재 양력발생의 원리는 긴 경로 이론과 동시 통과 이론 등으로 알려져 있으며, 이 이론들은 간단히 설명하려는 목적으로 인해 양력발생의 원리가 와전되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 여러 양력발생의 원리 중 Kutta-Joukowski의 이론을 이용하여 순환을 통한 양력발생의 관계에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 해석 모델은 대칭형 에어포일인 NACA0012를 이용하였다. 해석 프로그램으로는 EDISON을 이용하였으며 시간에 따른 와도를 확인하기 위해 비정상상태 해석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 유동이 시간의 경과에 따라 에어포일 뒷전으로 밀려나면서 Kutta-Joukowski의 이론에 중요한 논점인 출발 와류가 생성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로 인해 순환이 형성되어 양력이 발생함을 추측할 수 있다. 추가적으로 받음각과 출발 와류 사이의 영향성을 연구하였다. 받음각이 커짐에 따라 출발 와류가 에어포일 뒷전에서 더 크게 발생하였고, 받음각이 낮아질수록 출발 와류의 진행이 가속화됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

CFD simulation has been conducted on a small scaled 4 nozzle clustered engine operating with air. In the present paper, the effects of grid size, turbulence models, flux difference methods have been compared. The results show that the base flows are somewhat different as the turbulence models, while Roe and AUSM flux differences produced almost the same results. Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model produces more accurate results rather than famous SST k-w model. The calculated Mach number and pressure profile in the engine base reveal the complex base flow structure, which is somewhat different from the generally estimated flow fields.

The purpose of this study is to develop a software for the performance evaluation and blade design of a pitch-controlled HAWT using BEMT(Blade Element Momentum Theory) with Prandtl's tip loss. The HERACLES V2.0 software consist of three major part ; basic blade design, aerodynamic coefficient mapping and performance calculation including stall or pitch control option. A 1MW wind turbine blade was designed at the rated wind speed(12m/s) composing five different airfoils such as FFA-W-301, DU91-W250, DU93-W-210, NACA 63418 and NACA 63415 from hub to tip. The mechanical power predicted by BEMT at the rated wind speed is about 1.27MW. Also, CFD analysis was performed to confirm the validity of the BEMT results. The comparison results show good agreement about the error of 6.5% in rated mechanical power.

The process of the wind noise analysis around an OSRVM is developed and is verified by simulating unsteady flow field past a generic OSRVM mounted on the flat plate at the Reynolds number of $Re_D=5.2{\times}10^5$ based on the mirror diameter. The transient flow field past a generic OSRVM is simulated with various turbulence models, namely DES-SA, LES Constant SGS, and LES Dynamic SGS. The sound radiation is predicted using the Ffowcs- Williams and Hawkings analogy. For the present simulation, the 6.35million cells are generated. Time averaged pressure coefficients at 34 locations on the surface of the generic OSRVM are compared with the available experimental data. Also, 12 Sound Pressure Levels located on the surrounding mirror are compared with the available experimental data. Both of them show good agreements with experimental data.

The monopole theory has long been used to model air-pumped effect from the elastic cavities in car tire. This approach models the change of an air as a Piston moving backward and forward on a spring and equates local air movements exactly with the volume changes of the system. Thus, the monopole theory has a restricted domain of applicability due to the usual assumption of a small amplitude acoustic wave equation and acoustic monopole theory This paper describes an approach to predict the air-pumping noise of a car tyre with CFD/Kirchhoff integral method. The tyre groove is simply modeled as piston-cavity-sliding door geometry and with the aid of CFD technique flow properties in the groove of rolling car tyre are acquired.'rhese unsteady flow data are used as a air-pumping source in the next CFD calculation of full tyre-road geometry. Acoustic far field is predicted from Kirchhoff integral method by using unsteady flow data in space and time which is provided by the CFD calculation of full tyre-road domain. This approach can cover the non-linearity of acoustic monopole theory with the aid of Non-linear governing equation in CFD calculation. The method proposed in this paper is applied to the prediction of air-pumping noise of simply modeled car tyre and through the predicted results, the influence of nonlinear effect on air-pumping noise propagation is investigated.

The fin-tube heat exchanger being used for industrial boiler, radiator, refrigerator has been conducted in various studies to improve it's performance. In this study, the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop was theoretically analyzed according to longitudinal pitch, location of vortex generator, bump phase and number of the tube surface about the plain fin-tube heat exchanger. The boundary condition for the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis applied with the SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model assumed as the tube surface temperature of 333 K, the inlet air temperature of 423-438 K and the inlet air velocity of 1.5~2.1 m/s. The analysis results indicated that the heat transfer coefficient is not affected highly by the longitudinal pitch, and the heat transfer characteristics was more favorable when the vortex generator was located in front of the tube. Also the bump phase of the tube surface indicated that circle type was more appropriate than serrated type and triangle type in the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop, and the sixteen's bump phase of circle type was most favorable.
