In order to tackle global environmental problems such as destruction of the ozone layer or climatic changes due to atmospheric temperature increase, the acquisition of plentiful and precise data is necessary. Therefore, a means of conducting long-lasting high-resolution measurements over broad areas is required. A feasibility study has been made on a high altitude (20km), super-pressured helium-filled PLTA (Powered Ligher-than-Air) vehicle as an ideal platform for environmental observation. It has a long service life and carries a larger payload than an artificial satellite. This PLTA platform uses an electric propulsion system to maintain position in space against wind currents. The thruster is driven by solar power acquired from solar cells. For night use, solar energy is stored in regenerative fuel cells. This study focuses on energy balance and structural analysis of the hull and platform. The platform is capable of conducting high resolution remote sensing as well as having the capability to serve as a telecommunications relay. The platform could replace a number of ground-based telecommunications relay facilities, guaranteeing sufficient radio frequency intensity to secure good quality telecommunication transmittal. The altitude at which the platform resides has the lowest wind flow in the lower stratosphere, and permits viewing from the ground within a 1,000km range. Because this altitude is much lower than that required of an artificial satellite, the measuring resolution is a couple of thousand times higher than with artificial satellites. The platform can also be used to chase typhoons and observe them from their sources in tropical regions.

In this paper, we present a new type of spherical robot having two arms. This robot, called KisBot, mechanically consists of three parts, a wheel-shaped body and two rotating semi-spheres. In side of each semi-sphere, there exists an arm which is designed based on slider-crank mechanism for space efficiency. KisBot has hybrid types of driving mode: rolling and wheeling. In the rolling mode, the robot folds its arms through inside of itself and uses them as pendulum, then the robot works like a pendulum-driven robot. In the wheeling mode, two arms are extended from inside of the robot and are contacted to the ground, then the robot works like a one-wheel car. The Robot arms can be used as a brake during rolling mode and add friction to the robot for climbing a slope during wheeling mode. We developed a remote controlled type robot for experiment. It contains two DC motors which are located in the center of each semi-sphere for main propulsion, two RC motors for each arm operation, speed controllers for each semi-sphere, batteries for main power source, and other mechanical components. Experiments for the rolling and wheeling mode verify the hybrid driving ability and efficiency of the our proposed spherical robot.

Numerical simulations have been conducted to study the unstart/restart characteristics of an over-under turbine-based combined-cycle propulsion system (TBCC) inlet during the inlet transition phase. A dual-solution area exists according to the Kantrowitz theory, in which the inlet states may be different even with the same input parameters. The entire transition process was divided into five stages and the unstart/restart hysteresis loop for each stage was also obtained. These loops construct a hysteresis surface which separates the operating space of the engine into three parts: in which a) inlet can maintain a started state; b) inlet keeps an unstarted state; c) inlet state depends on its initial state. During the transition, the operation of the engine follows a certain order with different backpressures and splitter angles, namely control route, which may result in disparate inlet states. Nine control routes with different backpressures and transition stages were designed to illuminate the route-dependent behavior of the inlet. The control routes operating towards the unstart boundary can make the inlet transit from a started state into an unstarted one. But operating backward the same route cannot make the inlet restart, additional effort should be made.

An electromagnetic launching system presents a viable projectile propulsion alternative with low cost and minimal environmental drawbacks. A coil gun system propels a projectile using an electromagnetic force and the system is mainly employed in military weapon systems and space launch systems. In this paper, we perform optimization design to improve the muzzle velocity by analyzing the sensitivity. The muzzle velocity, which is the most important design function variable, is affected by design variables including the number of axial turns in the electromagnetic coil, number of radial turns in the electromagnetic coil, initial distance between the projectile and the coil, inner radius of the electromagnetic coil, and length of the projectile. An orthogonal arrays matrix is configured, and a finite element analysis is performed utilizing the commercial electromagnetic analysis software MAXWELL. The muzzle velocity of the optimal design is 62.4% greater than that of the initial design.

이산와류법(discrete vortex method)을 이용하여 진통하는 평판들로부터 추력발생을 연구하였다. 평판들과 후류들은 이산와류로 나타내었다. 진동하는 평판들 사이의 복잡한 공력상호작용을 정확히 계산하기 위하여 와핵모델(vortex core model)과 와핵첨가법(vortex core addition scheme)을 사용하였다. 단일 평판이 히빙진동을 할 경우 나타나는 후류를 계산하여 기존의 유동가시화 결과와 비교하였다. 피칭진동 시 평판에서 발생하는 후류형상이 평판들의 추진 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 3가지 방식(1. 하나의 평판은 고정 다른 평판은 진동, 2. 두개의 평판이 같은 위상으로 진동, 3. 두개의 평판이 반대의 위상으로 진동)으로 진동하는 평판들의 추진특성을 계산하였다. 반대의 위상으로 진통하는 평판이 가장 큰 추진력을 보였다.

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.

현재 개발중인 다목적실용위성은 자세제어 등에 필요한 추력과 모멘트를 발생하기 위해 NASA의 1lbf급 표준 추력기인 MRE-1을 사용할 예정으로 신뢰도 향상을 위해 이중추력기 모듈의 형태로 장착된다. 열차폐막의 국산화를 위해 기존의 용접 대신 전기주형법을 적용 할 예정이다. 하지만 열차폐막 내경이 기존의 용접으로 제작된 형상보다 불가피하게 감소됨으로 인해 열차폐막 끝단과 추력기 노즐 사이에 간섭이 발생할 우려가 제기되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 두 가지 다른 공정으로 제작될 열차폐막에 대해 구조해석을 수행하여 위성의 발사환경에서 추력기와 열차폐막의 간섭 여부 및 구조적 거동을 해석 및 비교하였고, 그 결과를 토대로 새로운 형상의 열차폐막에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다.

궤도상에 있는 인공위성은 천문력 기반 태양 모델을 사용하여 기준 벡터를 형성한다. 이를 위해 제트 추진 연구소(JPL)에서 개발한 천문력인 DE-Series, 또는 Vallado가 제안한 기준 벡터 생성식을 사용한다. DE-Series는 체비셰프 다항식의 수치 계수를 제공하는데 정밀도가 높다는 장점이 있지만 인공위성의 탑재 컴퓨터의 계산 부담이 있으며, Vallado 방식은 생성식을 통해 태양 벡터를 간단히 구할 수 있지만 낮은 정밀도를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 DE-Series를 통해 얻은 태양의 위치를 체비셰프 다항식으로 Curve fitting하여, 관성좌표계에서의 태양 위치좌표를 구할 수 있는 체비셰프 다항식 계수를 제공하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 기존 방식에 비해 정밀도를 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 제안된 방법은 고성능, 고정밀 초소형위성 임무에 활용될 수 있다.

In comparison with conventional motors, Superconducting Homopolar Synchronous Motors (SHSMs) have advantages that it generates high magnetic field by superconducting winding. Therefore, superconducting coil used in SHSM can reduce the motor size and enhance the motor efficiency for high torque applications under the space constraints for propulsion system. During the design process of SHSM, it is required to evaluate the performance of initial design model, that is accurately analyzed using 3D magnetic field modeling large air-gap and flux distribution of axial direction is properly taken into account. In this paper, we analyze magnetic field of a homopolar motor with a 4-pole homopolar rotor and a stator of 3 phase windings. The field analysis is done using 3D finite element analysis which can reflect the end effect and overhang winding. And we extract mutual inductances between a rotor wind and the 3 stator windings. The extracted inductances are used for evaluation of overall motor performances that are calculated with generalized circuit theory of electrical machines.
