The effects of blade leading edge sweep on both the aerodynamic performance and the structure stress of a high pressure centrifugal compressor impeller are numerically investigated. Changes in the flow structure occur as a result of the effect of leading edge sweep on the loading distribution in the tip region. The flow separation is avoided by introducing a sweep of the main blade leading edge and the strength of shock is reduced at the same time. Backswept of the leading edge is found to be beneficial to the impeller performance improving. On the other hand, the structural analysis indicated that high rotating speed of the impeller will cause substantial high bending stresses and radial deflections of the blade. Studies have shown that it is possible to control the stress distribution along the tip and root of the blade by slight adjustments to the sweep angle of the leading edge. These adjustments may be used to design the impeller with lower blade root stress distribution without aerodynamics performance penalty.

본 논문은 원심압축기 임펠러의 앞전 위치가 성능특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 앞전의 위치가 다른 다섯 개의 임펠러를 계산 모델로 선정하여 전산해석을 수행하였다. 입구에서 출구까지의 자오면상 거리에 대해서 임펠러 날개 앞전이 입구로부터 10% 떨어진 위치에 있을 때 압력비 및 효율이 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 또한, 이 경우가 임펠러 출구에서 박리영역의 강도가 약하여 상대적으로 유동이 가장 균일한 결과를 보였다. 그리고 이 위치보다 멀어질수록 낮은 압력비와 효율을 보였다. 또한, 이 경우가 임펠러 출구에서 불균일한 유동을 가져 압축기의 성능이 감소하였다.

The leading edge of a low-drag super-cavitating foil has been made to be thick enough by using a point drag which is supposed to be a linear model of the Kirchhoff lamina. In the present paper, the relation between the point drag and the Kirchhoff lamina is made clear by analyzing the cavity drag of both models and the leading edge radius of the point drag model and the lamina thickness of Kirchhoff\`s profile K. The matched asymptotic expansion is effectively made use of in designing a practical super-cavitating fool which is not only of low drag but also structurally sound. Also it has a distinct leading edge cavity separation point. The cavity foil shapes of trans-cavitating propeller blade sections designed by present method are shown.

An experimental investigation on the static and dynamic stall characteristics of elliptic airfoil was performed by PIV velocity field measurements. The flow Reynolds number was $3.13{\times}10^5$ and the reduced frequency of the pitch oscillation ranged from 0.075 to 0.125. The onset of static stall was caused by boundary layer separation which started at the trailing edge and progressed toward the leading edge. However, dynamic stall was caused by the vortex shed at the leading edge region and the flow field showed a vortex dominated flow with turbulent separation and alternate vortex shedding. The increase of reduced frequency increased the dynamic stall angle of attack and intensified the flow hysteresis in the down-stroke phase.

Separation bubble and conical vortices on a large-span flat roof were observed in this study through the use of flow visualization. The results indicated that separation bubble occurred when the flow was normal to the leading edge of the flat roof. Conical vortices that occur under the cornering flow were observed near the leading edge, and their appearance was influenced by the wind angle. When the wind changed from along the diagonal to deviating from the diagonal of the roof, the conical vortex close to the approaching flow changed from circular to be more oblong shaped. Based on the measured velocities in the conical vortices by flow visualization, a proposed two-dimensional vortex model was improved and validated by simplifying the velocity profile between the vortex and the potential flow region. Through measured velocities and parameters of vortices, the intensities of conical vortices and separation bubble on a large-span flat roof under different wind directions were provided. The quasi-steady theory was corrected by including the effect of vortices. With this improved two-dimensional vortex model and the corrected quasi-steady theory, the mean and peak suction beneath the cores of the conical vortices and separation bubble can be predicted, and these were verified by measured pressures on a larger-scale model of the flat roof.

The 3-dimensional flow field has been investigated by numerical analysis in a 2.5MW wind turbine blade. Complicated and separated flaw phenomena in the wind turbine blade were captured by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) steady flaw simulation using general-purpose code, CFX and the mechanism of vortex structure behavior is elucidated. The vortical flow field in a wind turbine rotor is dominated by the tip vortex and hub separation vortex. The tip vortex starts to be formed near the blade tip leading edge. As the tip vortex develops in the tangential direction, interacting with boundary layer from the blade tip trailing edge. The hub separation vortex is generated near the blade hub leading edge and develops nearly in the span-wise direction. Furthermore, 3-dimensional blade tip shape has been designed for increasing shrift power and reducing thrust force on the wind turbine blade. It is expected that the behavior of the tip vortex and hub separation vortex plays a major role in aerodynamic and aeroacoustic characteristics.

타원형 단면 에어포일의 블로잉 제트에 의한 유동박리 제어효과에 대한 연구를 레이놀즈수 Rec=7.84×105에서 실험적 방법으로 수행하였다. 블로잉 제트는 에어포일 내부의 공기실에 있는 압축공기를 앞전 혹은 뒷전에 위치한 좁은 제트슬롯을 통하여 분출시켰다. 실험결과 블로잉은 날개면 압력회복으로 수직력을 증가시킴으로써 박리 유동을 제어할 수 있음을 보였다. 블로잉에 의한 수직력의 상승은 상대적으로 높은 받음각에서 더욱 효과가 컸으며 낮은 받음각에서는 감소되었다. 현 연구조건에서 수직력을 상승시키는데 가장 효과적인 블로잉 방식은 앞전에서의 90° 방향의 간헐제트이었다. 특히, 간헐제트가 부여된 경우 실속 받음각을 약 2°-3° 지연시킬 수 있었다. 연속제트와 간헐제트 모두 에어포일의 공력특성과 성능을 향상시킴으로써 유동박리 제어에 직접적이고 유효한 방법임을 입증하였다.

In the present study the flow fields around pitching foils have been visualized by using a Schlieren method with a high speed camera in a wind tunnel at low Reynolds number regions. It has been observed that small vortices are shed discretely from the leading and trailing edge and that they stand in line on the integrated streakline of separation shear layer. By counting vortices in the VTR frames it was clarified that the number of vortex shedding from the leading and trailing edge during one pitching cycle strongly depends on the non-dimensional pitching rate.

스마트 무인기 익형 주위의 유동 구조를 파악하고 이를 바탕으로 synthetic jet을 이용하여 정지 비행 모드에서의 수익하중 감소 여부를 파악하였다. 스마트 무인기의 실제 비행 모드에 대하여 유동 구조를 분석하여 앞전 및 뒷전에서 발생하는 와류에 의해서 수익 하중이 크게 증가함을 밝혔다. 이에 앞전과 뒷전에서 발생하는 유동의 박리를 제어하기 위하여 0.01c, $0.3c_{flap}$, $0.95c_{flap}$ 위치에 jet을 위치시켰다. 또한 무차원 주파수(F+)의 변화에 따른 유동 구조 변화와 항력 감소율을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 와류의 유동 구조를 변화시켜 앞전과 뒷전에서 발생하는 거대한 와류의 박리 주기를 짧게 하고 와류의 크기를 감소시켜 정지 비행 모드에서 수익 하중을 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있었다.

In this work, we propose a new idea of flapping airfoil design for optimal aerodynamic performance from detailed computational investigations of flow physics. Generally, flapping motion which is combined with pitching and plunging motion of airfoil, leads to complex flow features such as leading edge separation and vortex street. As it is well known, the mechanism of thrust generation of flapping airfoil is based on inverse Karman-vortex street. This vortex street induces jet-like flow field at the rear region of trailing edge and then generates thrust. The leading edge separation vortex can also play an important role with its aerodynamic performances. The flapping airfoil introduces an alternative propulsive way instead of the current inefficient propulsive system such as a propeller in the low Reynolds number flow. Thrust coefficient and propulsive efficiency are the two major parameters in the design of flapping airfoil as propulsive system. Through numerous computations, we found the specific physical flow phenomenon which governed the aerodynamic characteristics in flapping airfoil. Based on this physical insight, we could come up with a new kind of airfoil of tadpole-shaped and more enhanced aerodynamic performance.
