Flow fields in a half ducted propeller fan have been investigated by three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations and a vortex core identification technique. The simulation at the design operating condition shows that the tip vortex onset point is located at 30 percent tip chord of the suction surface on the blade tip. There is no interaction between the tip vortex and the adjacent blade, so that the tip vortex smoothly convects to the rotor exit. However, the high vorticity in the tip vortex causes the wake and the tip leakage flow to be twined around the tip vortex and to interact with the pressure surface of the adjacent blade. This flow behavior corresponds well with experimental results by Laser Doppler Velocimetry. On the contrary, the simulation at the low-flowrate operating condition shows that the tip vortex onset point is located at the 60 percent tip chord of the suction surface. In contrast to the design operating condition, the tip vortex grows almost tangential direction, and impinges directly on the pressure surface of the adjacent blade.

This paper deals with the early development of the Anuloid, an innovative disk-shaped VTOL aircraft. The Anuloid concept is based on the following three main features: the use of a ducted fan powered by a turboshaft for the lift production to take-off and fly; the Coanda effect that is developed through the circular internal duct and the bottom portion of the aircraft to provide further lift and control capabilities; the adoption of a system of ducted fixed and swiveling radial and circumferential vanes for the anti-torque mechanism and the flight control. The early studies have been focused on the CFD analysis of the Coanda effect and of the control vanes; the flyability analysis of the aircraft in terms of static performances and static and dynamic stability; the preliminary structural design of the aircraft. The results show that the Coanda effect is stable in most of the flight phases, vertical flight has satisfactory flyability qualities, whereas horizontal flight shows dynamic instability, requiring the development of an automatic control system.

헬리콥터 초기 설계 단계에서는 형상 변화에 따른 공력 성능 변화를 예측하여 최적의 형상을 결정한다. 덮개꼬리로터에서는 공력성능 개선을 위해 블레이드와 덮개사이의 끝단간극, 블레이드 평면형, 그리고 블레이드 배치의 최적화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 비정렬 격자에 기초한 비점성 압축성 로터 유동 해석 코드를 이용하여 설계 초기 기본형상의 덮개꼬리로터에 대해 끝단간극, 블레이드 평면형, 그리고 블레이드 배치 등의 형상변화에 따른 공력 성능을 예측하고 그 특성을 파악하였다.

This paper presents the main outcomes of the preliminary development of the Anuloid, an innovative disk-shaped VTOL aircraft. The Anuloid has three main features: lift is provided by a ducted fan powered by a turboshaft; control capabilities and anti-torque are due to a system of fixed and movable surfaces that are placed in the circular internal duct and the bottom portion of the aircraft; the Coanda effect is exploited to enable the control capabilities of such surfaces. In this paper, results from flight mechanics are presented. The vertical flight dynamics were found to be desirable. In contrast, the horizontal flight dynamics of the aircraft shows both dynamic instability, and more importantly, insufficient pitch and roll control authority. Some recommendations and guidelines are then given aimed at the alleviation of such problems.

In this paper, results from CFD analyses and wind tunnel tests are presented. Horizontal and vertical flights were considered, including accelerated flight. Particular attention was paid to the experimental analysis of the Coanda effect via a reduced scale 3D printed model. The results suggest that the Coanda effect is continuously present at the lower surface of the Anuloid and may be exploited for the control of the aircraft. Also, very complex 3D flows may develop around the aircraft.

The effect of multiple process parameters on a set of continuous response variables is, especially in experimental designs, difficult and intricate to determine. Due to the complexity in aeroacoustic and vibroacoustic studies, the often-performed simple one-factor-at-a-time method turns out to be the least effective approach. In contrast, the statistical Design of Experiments is a technique used with the objective to maximize the obtained information while keeping the experimental effort at a minimum. The presented work aims at giving insights on Design of Experiments applied to aeroacoustic and vibroacoustic problems while comparing different experimental designs and approximation models. For this purpose, an experimental rig of a ducted low-pressure fan is developed that allows gathering data of both, aerodynamic and aeroacoustic nature while analysing three independent process parameters. The experimental designs used to sample the design space are a Central Composite design and a Box-Behnken design, both used to model a response surface regression, and Latin Hypercube sampling to model an Artificial Neural network. The results indicate that Latin Hypercube sampling extracts information that is more diverse and, in combination with an Artificial Neural network, outperforms the quadratic response surface regressions. It is shown that the Latin Hypercube sampling, initially developed for computer-aided experiments, can also be used as an experimental design. To further increase the benefit of the presented approach, spectral information of every experimental test point is extracted and Artificial Neural networks are chosen for modelling the spectral information since they show to be the most universal approximators.

UAM (Urban Air Mobility) 항공기에 대한 수요가 세계 각 도시들은 인구집중으로 인한 교통체증 문제로 늘어나고 있다. 세계 각국에서 고정익 날개의 유무와 추진 시스템에 따라 다양한 형태를 가진 항공기가 연구개발을 통해 상용화 준비 중이며, 도심을 비행하고 사람이 탑승하는 유인운송수단이므로 감항증명이 요구된다. UAM 항공기는 복합재 사용 비중 증가, 전기모터 사용, 다양한 전자 장비 탑재 등 낙뢰 및 HIRF 환경에 취약하다. 현재 UAM 항공기에 대한 낙뢰 및 HIRF 환경에서의 인증기술과 지침 및 요건 개발은 미비한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 미연방항공청(FAA)에서 발행한 AC 20-136B와 AC 20-158A에 나타난 회전익 항공기의 낙뢰 및 HIRF 간접 영향에 대한 적합성 인증 절차를 확인하고 UAM 항공기 전자기 전산 시뮬레이션에 적용하였다. 덕티드 팬 형 UAM 항공기에 대한 낙뢰 및 HIRF 영향성을 전산 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였고, 향후 운용될 UAM 항공기의 인증을 위한 실무지침 수립의 근거를 제시하였다.
