본 연구에서는 Slotted flap을 장착한 WIG선(Wing In Ground effect ship)에서 발생하는 진동을 최소화하기 위해 WIG선의 공력특성을 수치적으로 분석하고 그에 따라 플랩 형상에 대하여 최적화를 진행하였다. 주 익형에 대한 형상은 NACA 4412로 고정한 상태에서 플랩의 각도와 x, y좌표를 설계변수로 설정하였으며, 그에 따라 설정한 평균 $C_L$값을 유지하면서 진동의 진폭 크기가 작아지도록 제한 조건 및 목적 함수를 설정하였다. 최적화된 익형에서 플랩과 주 익형 사이에서 분출되는 유체는 코안다 효과의 영향을 받아 플랩 윗부분을 타고 흐른다. 이로 인해 진동에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 박리영역이 억제되었으며, 진동이 최소화 되었다. 결론적으로 플랩의 최적화를 통하여 기본 설계 익형에서 89%의 진동이 저감되는 것과 동시에 Lift/Drag 96.2로 기본 설계 익형에 비해 4.1배 향상되었다.

In comparison with previous researches fur swirling flow, the spiral flow self-generated in the spiral flow nozzle has some different characteristics. It is not needed a compulsive tangential momentum to get its velocity component and has long potential core, relatively low swirl ratio, and high focusing ability. In this study, the self-generated mechanism of the spiral flow was clarified and the effect on the width of annular slit on spiral flow characteristics was investigated experimentally and numerically. As a result, the existence of tangential velocity component regardless of a compulsive angular momentum is clarified and the results obtained by experiment have a satisfactory agreement with those by numerical method, quantitatively and qualitatively.

Horizontal air-jet effect has been utilized in some air conditioning systems in order to control the contaminated air indoor. In the present study, the flow and heat transfer of the contaminated air from a range hood system has been investigated with or without horizontal air-jet effect when the hood fan is on or off. For the present numerical experiment, PAT Flow code has been used. From the present numerical simulations, it has been shown that the air jet of a range hood generates coanda effect confining the contaminated air in a certain region. Furthermore, the qualitative relation between the flow rate of the capture air jet and the distribution pattern of the contamination has been discussed.

A micro-fluidic oscillator is used to control a linear actuator in a dynamic microsystem. The pressure difference at its two output ports causes the linear actuator to move, and it is a standard of judging the performance of the oscillator. The performance can be improved by optimizing the geometry of the oscillator, which has to enable fluid jet to switch at low inlet velocity. For this, in this study the relationship between the pressure coefficient (difference) and geometric parameters is obtained through the analysis using the software FLUENT. From the results the optimized model that maximize the output pressure difference is obtained by using a cyclic coordinate method that is one of optimization methods. As a result not only the performance is improved, but also the working range is more widen.

본 연구에서는 유체역학적인 후류 효과를 제어하고 항력을 이용하여 구체를 안정적으로 부양하는 방법을 해석 및 실험적으로 고찰하였다. 물체를 공중에 부양할 때는 물체가 받는 중력과 제트에 의하여 공급되는 항력이 평형을 이루어야 한다. 이 때 공기의 흐름의 레이놀즈 수에 따라 공기가 구체를 지나가며 구체후면에 생기는 후류에 의하여 부양상태가 불안정하게 될 수 있다. 구체의 운동이 제트에 의하여 안정되는 현상은 베르누이 및 코안다 효과로 설명할 수 있다. 에디슨을 이용하여 레이놀즈 수에 따른 실린더에 작용하는 항력과 후류에 의한 불안정화 힘을 해석적으로 구하였으며 이를 실험적으로 고속카메라를 이용하여 부양 거리, 안정도 등을 측정하여 비교하였다. 고찰 결과 레이놀즈 수가 작을수록 더 안정됨을 확인하였다.

The limitation of flow control for a bistable fluidic valve has been investigated. The physical model of the fluidic valve includes two main flow outlets and two control flow inlets. The experiments were conducted with pressure regulators, mass flow meters, and piezo sensors to analyze flow switching characteristics of the fluidic valve. The experimental data such as pressure and mass flow rate of control flows and the switching time of the main flow was obtained with various operating conditions. The operation limit of the fluidic valve is identified, and a model equation for pre-estimating the minimum control pressure to switch the direction of the main flow has been proposed.

Bladeless fan is becoming increasingly popular owing to its advantages, such as improved safety, easy to clean, and attractive shape. However, many people are reluctant to purchase it because of several disadvantages, such as noise and moderate wind; therefore, research on how improve wind generation without increasing the motor speed is required. This study investigates the optimization of the shape of the nozzle and nearby surface using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation, ANSYS fluent. The results are analyzed by ANOM (analysis of mean) and interaction analysis; therefore this study suggests the variables of affecting Coanda effect and satisfy the govern equation, the conservation of momentum. The optimal combination was found through a predictive equation. In this study, factors and levels that affect the mass flow rate were selected and experimental points were arranged using the orthogonal array table. The value of the mass flow rate was confirmed by ANSYS fluent, which is a CFD program. Through the ANOM, it was confirmed that the nozzle distance is the most influential parameter affecting the mass flow rate. Furthermore, the mass flow rate obtained from the predictive equation and the mass flow rate from the CFD correspond to the largest values. Results from this study confirmed that the mass flow rate is increased by a change in the shape, even if the motor speed did not increase.

In general the swirl jet is generated by the injected flow that is forced to the tangential direction. A spiral nozzle which is composed of an annular slit and a convergent nozzle, is released the spiral jet that is generated by the radial flow injection through an annular slit. The objective of the present study is to investigate the additional study that is studied a changed the convergent nozzle angle and nozzle length. In the present computation, a finite volume scheme is used to solve three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. The convergent nozzle angle and the nozzle length of the spiral nozzle are varied to obtain different spiral flows inside the conical convergent nozzle. The present computational results are compared with the previous experimental data. The results obtained show that the convergent nozzle angle and the nozzle length of the spiral jet strongly influence the characteristics of the spiral jets, such as a tangential and a jet width.

Spiral jet is characterized by a wide region of the free vortex flow with a steep axial velocity gradient, while swirl jet is largely governed by the forced vortex flow and has a very low axial velocity at the jet axis. However, detailed generation mechanism of spiral flow components is not well understood, although the spiral jet is extensively applied in a variety of industrial field. In general, it is known that spiral jet is generated by the radial flow injection through an annular slit which is installed at the inlet of a conical convergent nozzle. The present study describes a computational work to investigate the effects of annular slit on the spiral jet. In the present computation, a finite volume scheme is used to solve three dimensional Naver-Stokes equations with RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulent model. The annular slit width and the pressure ratio of the spiral jet are varied to obtain different spiral flows inside the conical convergent nozzle. The present computational results are compared with the previous experimental data. The results obtained obviously show that the annular slit width and the pressure ratio of the spiral jet strongly influence the characteristics of the spiral jets, such as tangential and axial velocities.
