The handicap for investigating the aero-optical effect focuses on the accurate prediction on the index refraction fluctuation or density fluctuation. In recent years, with the development of CFD techniques and optical experimental techniques, the comprehension have developed on the aero-optical transmitting effect in many kinds of complex flow. This study mainly introduces the optical aberration in compressible mixing layer. And then the debates about the mechanism of aero-optical effects and assessment of image blur also present.

Many flight bodies are essentially imposed in gradually accelerating and decelerating free streams during taking-off and landing processes. However, the wing aerodynamics occurring in such a stream have not yet been investigated in detail. The objective of the present study is to make clear the aerodynamic characteristics of an aerofoil placed in the accelerating and decelerating free stream conditions. A computational analysis is carried out to solve the unsteady, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations which are discretized using a fully implicit finite volume method. Computational results are employed to reveal the major characteristics of the aerodynamics over the gradually accelerating aerofoil wings.

대부분의 항공기는 이/착륙시 점진적으로 가속/감속되는 유동장에 놓이게 된다. 그러나 이런 유동장에 발생하는 익형 공기역학은 상세히 조사되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 이용하여 가속/감속 유동장하에 놓인 익형의 공력특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 계산결과는 점진적으로 가속/감속하는 아음속 유동장에 놓인 익형의 항양비와 같은 공력특성을 예측하는데 사용되었다.

When the rolling stocks run on the curve, the external rail has to be lifted to a certain level to balance the centrifugal force acting on the train body. Under such a situation, passengers may feel uncomfortable, and the slanted vehicle has the potential overturning risks at high speed. This paper conducted a wind tunnel test in an annular wind tunnel with φ=3.2 m based on a 1/20^th scaled high-speed train (HST) model. The sensitivity of Reynolds effects ranging from Re = 0.37×10⁶ to Re = 1.45×106 was tested based on the incoming wind from U=30 m/s to U=113 m/s. The wind speed covers the range from incompressible to compressible. The impact of roll angle ranging from γ=0° to γ=4° on train aerodynamics was tested. In addition, the boundary layer development was also analyzed under different wind speeds. The results indicate that drag and lift aerodynamic coefficients gradually stabilized and converged over U=70 m/s, which could be regeared as the self-similarity region. Similarly, the thickness of the boundary layer on the floor gradually decreased with the wind speed increase, and little changed over U=80 m/s. The rolling moment of the head and tail cars increased with the roll angle from γ=0° to γ=4°. However, the potential overturning risks of the head car are higher than the tail car with the increase of the roll angle. This study is significant in providing a reference for the overturning assessment of HST.

A numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the inlet buzz and combustion oscillation in an axisymmetric ramjet engine with wedge-type flame holders. The physical model of concern includes the entire engine flow path, extending from the leading edge of the inlet center-body through the exhaust nozzle. The theoretical formulation is based on the Farve-averaged conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration, and accommodates finite-rate chemical kinetics and variable thermo-physical properties. Turbulence closure is achieved using a combined scheme comprising of a low-Reynolds number k-${\varepsilon}$ two-equation model and Sarkar's compressible turbulence model. Detailed flow phenomena such as inlet flow aerodynamics, flame evolution, and acoustic excitation as well as their interactions, are investigated. Mechanisms responsible for driving the inlet buzz are identified and quantified for the engine operating at subcritical conditions.

This paper dispicts the vortical flow characteristics over a delta wing using a computational analysis for the purpose of investigating and visualizing the effect of the angle of attack and fee stream velocity on the low-speed delta wing aerodynamics. Computations are applied to the full, 3-dimensional, compressible, Navier-Stokes Equations. In computations, the free stream velocity is changed between 20m/s and 60m/s and the angle of attack of the delta wing is changed between $16^{\circ}\;and\;28^{\circ}$. For the correct prediction of the major features associated with the delta wing vortex flows, various turbulence models are tested. The standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model predict well the vertical flows over the delta wing. Computational results are compared with the previous experimental ones. It is found that the present CFD results predict the vortical flow characteristics over the delta wing, and with an increase in the free steam velocity, the leading edge vortex moves outboard and its streangth is increased.

CFD simulation is widely used in various industries, universities and research centers. In Korea most of the researchers use foreign commercial S/W packages especially in industries. But commercial CFD packages have some problems as limit to source code and very high license foe. So from several years ago open source CFD code has been widely spread as an alternative. But in Korea there are a few users of open source code. Insufficiency of performance validation as for accuracy, robustness, convenience and parallel speed-up is important obstacles of open source code. So we tested some validation cases as to incompressible external aerodynamics and internal flaws and now are doing compressible flaws. As the first stage of compressible flow validation, we simulated Korea next generation high speed train(HEMU). It's running condition is 400km/hr and maximum Mach number reaches up to 0.4. With the high speed train we tested accuracy, robustness and parallel performance of open source CFD code OpenFOAM Because there isn't experimental data we compared results with widely used commercial code. When use $1^{st}$ order upwind scheme aerodynamic forces are very similar to commercial code. But using $2^{nd}$ order upwind scheme there was some discrepancy. The reason of the difference is not clear yet. Mesh manipulation, domain decomposition, post-processing and robustness are satisfactory. Paralle lperformance is similar to commercial code.

The transient response of an airfoil to a rapidly deploying spoiler is numerically investigated using the turbulent compressible Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. Algebraic Baldwin-Lomax model, Wilcox $\kappa-\omega$ model, and SST $\kappa-\omega$ turbulence model are used to calculate the unsteady separated flow due to the rapid spoiler deployment. The spoiler motion relative to a stationary airfoil is treated by an overset grid hounded by a Dynamic Domain-Dividing Line which has been devised by the authors. The adverse effects of the spoiler influenced by the spoiler location and the hinge gap are expounded. The numerical results are in reasonably good agreement with the existing experimental data.

The aerodynamic performance of a shrouded tail rotor in hover has been studied by using a compressible inviscid flow solver on unstructured meshes. The numerical method is based on a cell­centered finite-volume discretization and an implicit Gauss-Seidel time integration. The results show that the performance of an isolated rotor without shroud compares well with experiment. In the case of a shrouded rotor, correction of the collective pitch angle is made such that the overall performance matches with experiment to account for the uncertainties of the experimental model configuration. Details of the flow field compare well with the experiment confirming the validity of the present method.

The vortex flow characteristics of a yawed LEX-delta wing at a high-angle of attack are studied using a computational analysis. The objective of the present study is to investigate and visualize the effects of the yaw angle, the development and interaction of vortices, the relationship between the suction pressure distributions and the vortex flow characteristics. Computations are applied to the three dimensional, compressible, Navier-Stokes Equations. In computations, the yaw angle is varied between 0 and 20 degree at a high-angle of attack. Computational predictions are compared with the previous experimental results.
