본 연구에서는 KFLOW에서 사용하고 있는 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 천이 모델을 사용하여 KARI-11-180 익형의 공력특성을 수치적으로 예측하고 그 결과를 실험 결과 및 XFOIL과 MSES의 결과와 비교하였다. 완전 난류모델은 천이모델에 비해 마찰항력을 크게 예측하기 때문에 전체적으로 높은 항력을 예측하는 등 천이모델과 완전 난류모델간의 차이를 확인하였다. KFLOW의 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 모델을 사용한 결과는 실험을 통해 확인된 천이 유동 실험 결과의 특성을 잘 예측하고 있었으며 XFoil이나 MSES의 결과와도 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 drag-bucket현상이 익형 표면의 천이점의 급격한 변화로 인해 발생함을 확인하였다.

A numerical simulation for a nonslender BWB UCAV configuration with a rounded leading edge and span of 1.0 m was performed to analyze its aerodynamic characteristics. Numerical results were compared with experimental data obtained at a free stream velocity of 50 m/s and at angles of attack from -4 to $26^{\circ}$. The Reynolds number, based on the mean chord length, is $1.25{\times}106$. 3D multi-block hexahedral grids are used to guarantee good grid quality and to efficiently resolve the boundary layer. Menter's shear stress transport model and two transition models (${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model and ${\gamma}$ model) were used to assess the effect of the laminar/turbulent transition on the flow characteristics. Aerodynamic coefficients, such as drag, lift, and the pitching moment, were compared with experimental data. Drag and lift coefficients of the UCAV were predicted well while the pitching moment coefficient was underpredicted at high angles of attack and influenced strongly by the selected turbulent models. After assessing the pressure distribution, skin friction lines and velocity field around UCAV configuration, it was found that the transition effect should be considered in the prediction of aerodynamic characteristics of vortical flow fields.

Effects of inflow Reynolds number (Re), turbulence intensity (I) and pressure gradient on the transition flow over a blade section were studied using the ${\gamma}-Re{\theta}$ transition model (STAR-CCM+). Results show that the $Re_T$ (transition Re) at the transition location ($P_T$) varies strongly with Re, I and the magnitude of pressure gradient. The $Re_T$ increases significantly with the increase of the magnitude of favorable pressure gradient. It demonstrates that the $Re_T$ on different blade sections of a rotating propeller are different. More importantly, when there is strong adverse pressure gradient, the $P_T$ is always close to the minimum pressure point. Based on these conclusions, the $P_T$ on model propeller blade surface can be estimated. Numerical investigations of pressure distribution and transition flow on a propeller blade section prove these findings. Last, a simple method was proposed to estimate the $P_T$ only based on the propeller geometry and the advance coefficient.

In the present study, the model-scale Propeller Open Water (POW) tests for the propeller of 176K bulk carrier and 8600TEU container ship were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. In order to solve the incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RaNS) equations were employed as the governing equations. The γ-Reθ(gamma-Re-theta) transition model combined with the SST k-ωturbulence model was introduced to describe the laminar-turbulence transition considering the low Reynolds number of model-scale. Firstly, the flow simulation developing over a flat plate was performed to verify the transition modeling, in which the wall shear stresses were compared with experiments and other numerical results. Then, to investigate the effect of the model, the CFD simulation for the POW test was performed and the simulated propeller performance was validated through comparison with the experiment conducted at Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO).

This paper investigates the effects of inlet turbulence conditions and near-wall treatment methods on the heat transfer prediction of gas turbine vanes within the range of engine relevant turbulence conditions. The two near-wall treatment methods, the wall-function and low-Reynolds number method, were combined with the SST and ${\omega}RSM$ turbulence model. Additionally, the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$, SSG RSM, and $SST_+{\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ transition model were adopted for the purpose of comparison. All computations were conducted using a commercial CFD code, CFX, considering a three-dimensional, steady, compressible flow. The conjugate heat transfer method was applied to all simulation cases with internally cooled NASA turbine vanes. The CFD results at mid-span were compared with the measured data under different inlet turbulence conditions. In the SST solutions, on the pressure side, both the wall-function and low-Reynolds number method exhibited a reasonable agreement with the measured data. On the suction side, however, both wall-function and low-Reynolds number method failed to predict the variations of heat transfer coefficient and temperature caused by boundary layer flow transition. In the ${\omega}RSM$ results, the wall-function showed reasonable predictions for both the heat transfer coefficient and temperature variations including flow transition onset on suction side, but, low-Reynolds methods did not properly capture the variation of the heat transfer coefficient. The $SST_+{\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ transition model showed variation of the heat transfer coefficient on the transition regions, but did not capture the proper transition onset location, and was found to be much more sensitive to the inlet turbulence length scale. Overall, the Reynolds stress model and wall function configuration showed the reasonable predictions in presented cases.

본 연구에서는 카이스트에서 개발된 비정렬격자 기반의 유동 해석자를 이용하여 KARI-11-180 익형, SDM과 천음속 비행체 주변 유동장에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 유동장을 해석하기 위하여 RANS가 수치적으로 풀이되었으며, Roe가 제안한 FDS 방법을 사용하여 비점성 플럭스를 계산하였다. 난류 모델은 SA 모델, SST 모델, ${\gamma}-{\widetilde{Re}}_{{\theta}t}$모델이 사용되었다. KARI-11-180 익형 유동 해석 결과 천이현상을 고려하였을 때 항력 계수가 더 작게 예측되었으며, 계산된 공력 특성은 전반적으로 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다. SDM의 경우 날개 앞전에서 유동 박리현상이 발생하였으며, 계산된 공력 특성이 EFD 결과와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 천음속 비행체의 경우 자유류 마하수가 0.9일 때 주 날개에서 발생하는 충격파를 성공적으로 포착하였으며, 실험 결과와 해석된 결과 사이의 유사성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents the dimensionless wall distance, y+ effect on SST turbulent model for wind turbine blade. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase VI wind turbine was used for the study, which the wind tunnel and structural test data has publicly available. The near wall treatment and turbulent characteristics have important role for proper CFD simulation. Most of the CFD development in this area is focused on advanced turbulence model closures including second moment closure models, and so called Low-Reynolds (low-Re) number and two-layer turbulence models. However, in many cases CFD aerodynamic predictions based on these standard models still show a large degree of uncertainty, which can be attributed to the use of the $\epsilon$-equation as the turbulence scale equation and the associated limitations of the near wall treatment. The present paper demonstrates the y+ definition effect on SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulent model with advanced automatic near wall treatment model and Gamma theta transitional model for transition from lamina to turbulent flow using commercial ANSYS-CFX. In all cases the SST model shows to be superior, as it gives more accurate predictions and is less sensitive to grid variations.

비세장형, 둥근 앞전을 가지고 스팬이 1.0m로 축소된 BWB형 UCAV에 대해 완전난류, 천이 모델을 사용하여 전산해석을 수행하였다. 자유류는 받음각 -4도부터 26도까지 50m/s이며, 평균 시위 기준 레이놀즈수는 $1.25{\times}10^6$이다. 멀티블록 6면체 격자와 함께 완전난류 모델과 천이 모델의 결과를 비교하여 천이효과가 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 풍동 실험과 비교한 결과 양/항력 계수는 해석범위 내에서 잘 일치하였으며, 피칭 모멘트는 높은 받음각에서 작게 예측됨과 동시에 난류모델에 따라 결과가 크게 달라졌다. 압력분포와 skin friction line, 축 방향 속도장을 이용하여 와류구조의 거동과 천이현상이 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 천이효과를 고려하는 것이 UCAV의 정확한 와류 구조와 공력특성 예측에 필요한 것으로 확인하였다.
