  • Computational Study of a sphere subjected to free stream flow and simultaneously subjected to spinning motion is carried out. Three dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using fully implicit finite volume scheme. SST(Shear Stress Transport) $k-{\omega}$ turbulence model is used. Aerodynamic characteristics being affected are studied. Validation of the numerical process is done for the no spin condition. Variation of drag coefficient and shock wave strength with increase in spinning rate is reported. Changes in the wake region of the sphere with respect to spinning speed are also observed.

  • A CFD analysis of helicopter flowfield in forward flight is considered as non-trivial issue because of the complexity of vorticity-dominated flowfield. In this work, a study on the selection of the proper location for the installation of the Pitot probe is conducted using a CFD code which can deal with the interaction of rotor blade vortex and body. To describe the flow patterns for rotating rotor blades and body, the sliding mesh scheme is utilized. Pressure distributions and flow patterns are also analyzed to identify regions free from the interaction of body and wake induced from rotor blades.

  • Axial fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high flow rate for cooling capacity. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. In order to calculate the noise of a fan, we develop the software IFD - Intranet Fans Design. With this software we can design, analysis the performance and predict the noise of fan. The prediction model, which allowed the calculation of acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and it's higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed by Lowson's equation. To calculate the unsteady resultant force of the blade, time-marching free-wake method is used. The objective of this study is to calculate the effects of number of blades, rotating velocity, and sweep angle on the noise of fan..

  • The aim of this paper is to develop a GUI based software that can predict the flow and noise generated by fan. This user-friendly software is designed for the usual fan user in the various industrial companies as well as researcher related to rotating blade:;. Software consists of 3-modules; (1) concept design and performance prediction module using simple and fast methods, (2) preliminary design and flow/noise prediction module using free-wake potential solver and acoustic analogy and (3) detail design module using accurate CFD-software and acoustic formula. Some validations and applications in various fields are described.

  • For study on the unsteady wall interference effect, flows around a forced oscillating airfoil in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model is employed for the turbulence effect. The computed results of the oscillating airfoil having a thin wake showed that the lift curve slope is increased and the magnitude of hysteresis loop is reduced by the interference effects. Since the vortex around the airfoil is generated and convected downstream faster than the free-air condition, the phase of lift, drag and pitching moment coefficients was shifted. The pressure on the test section wall shows harmonic terms having the oscillating frequency contained in the wail effect.

  • This paper reports the fluid flow and heat transfer around a module cooled by forced air flow generated by a piezoelectric(PZT) cooling fan. A flexible PZT fan with distortion in a fluid transport system of comparatively simple structure which was mounted on a PCB in a parallel-plate channel($450{\times}80{\times}700mm^3$) accelerates surrounding fluid locally. Input voltages of 20-100V and a resonance frequency of 23Hz were used to vibrate the cooling fan. Input power to the module was 4W. The cooling effect using a PZT fan was larger than that of free convection. Fluid flow around the module were visualized by using PIV system. The temperature distribution around heated module were visualized by using liquid crystal film(LCF). We found that the flow type was y-shaped and the cooling effect was increased by the wake generated by a piezoelectric cooling fan.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 여러 가지 비행 모드 상의 로터 성능을 효율적으로 예측하는 것이다. 헬리콥터의 공력 특성을 예측하기 위한 비정상 source-doublet 패널 기법 기반의 수치 기법을 개발하였다. 후류의 형상 예측에는 시간 전진 자유후류모델이 사용되었다. 점성에 의한 확산을 고려한 후류의 roll-up 모사를 위하여 후류의 doublet 패널은 같은 강도의 와류고리로 대체하여 계산하였다. 후류와 양력면의 충돌 문제는 표면격자 내부에 들어간 와류고리의 포텐셜값을 제거하여 해결하였다. 제자리비행의 해석 시에 나타나는 와류 불안정성의 해결에는 slow starting과 vortex core growth 모델을 사용하였다. 로터 공력 해석 프로그램은 제자리비행과 전진비행에 대한 실험 결과와 비교하여 검증하였으며, 실험치와 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
