The important problems that arise in the design and performance of the axial flow turbine are the prediction and control of secondary flows. Some progresses have been made on understanding flow conditions that occur when the inlet endwall boundary layer separates at the point in the endwall and rolls up into the horseshoe vortex. And the flows though an axial turbine tend to be extremely complex due to its inherent unsteady and viscous phenomena. The passing wakes generated from the trailing edge of the stator make an interaction with the rotor. Unsteady flow should be considered rotor/stator interactions. The main purpose of this research is control of secondary flow and improvement efficiency in turbine by leading edge modification in unsteady state. When the wake from the stator ran into the modified leading edge of the rotor, the leading edge generated the weak pressure fluctuation by complex passage flows. In conclusion, leading edge modification(bulb2) results in the reduced total pressure loss in the flow field.

An electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber reduces the possibility of radar detection by minimizing the radar cross section (RCS) of structures. In this study, a radar absorbing structure (RAS) was applied to the leading edge of a blended wing body aircraft to reduce RCS in X-band (8.2~12.4GHz) radar. The RAS was composed of a periodic pattern resistive sheet with conductive lossy material and glass-fiber/epoxy composite as a spacer. The applied RAS is a multifunctional composite structure which has both electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing ability and load-bearing ability. A two dimensional unit absorber was designed first in a flat-plate shape, and then the fabricated leading edge structure incorporating the above RAS was investigated, using simulated and free-space measured reflection loss data from the flat-plate absorber. The leading edge was implemented on the aircraft, and its RCS was measured with respect to various azimuth angles in both polarizations (VV and HH). The RCS reduction effect of the RAS was evaluated in comparison with a leading edge of carbon fabric reinforced plastics (CFRP). The designed leading edge structure was examined through static structural analysis for various aircraft load cases to check structural integrity in terms of margin of safety. The mechanical and structural characteristics of CFRP, RAS and CFRP with RAM structures were also discussed in terms of their weight.

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.

Leading edge thrust is generally caused by passing air flow from lower to upper surface and it is required to have sufficient angle of attack for notable leading edge thrust. To produce leading edge thrust at low angle of attack, utilizing expansion wave accompanying low pressure is able to be a solution. Fore structure changes the direction of flow, and this flow passes the projected edge. As a result, from a perspective of the edge, it is able to have high angle of attack, and artificial expansion wave is generated. This concept shows 9.48% increase of L/D in inviscid flow, at Mach number 1.3 and angle of attack $1^{\circ}$ in maximum, and this model shows the 3.98% of increasement at angle of attack $2^{\circ}$. Although advantage of the artificial expansion wave decreased as angle of attack increase, it shows the possibility of aerodynamical improvement with artificial expansion wave.

본 연구는 turbine compressor airfoil의 측정 및 검사 업무에서 edge(leading edge/trailing edge) 부위에서 자주 발생하는 프로브 slip현상으로 인한 측정 오차를 최소화하기 위하여 터빈 압축기의 airfoil 형상 규격에 대하여 살펴보고, 균일 샘플링방법을 이용하여 최소제곱법으로 보상하여 최적의 형상을 구하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 기업에서는 airfoil형상의 edge부위를 검사할 때 leading edge부위의 타원 형상과 trailing edge부위의 원 형상을 AutoCAD상에서 임의로 그려서 규격을 검사하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 edge부위에서 발생하는 측정오차를 최소화하기 위하여 보다 정확하고 체계적인 fitting 방법을 도입함으로써, airfoil의 형상치수에 관한 규격검사 업무의 신뢰성과 효율을 향상시키고자 한다.

To understand the function of edges in perception of moving objects, we defined four questions to answer. Is the focus point in visual motion detection of a moving object: (1) the body or the edge of the object, (2) the leading edge or trailing edge of the object, (3) different in scotopic, mesopic and photopic luminance levels, or (4) different for colored objects? We measured the Optomotor Response (OMR) and Edge Triggering Response (ETR) of goldfish. We used a square and sine wave patterns with black and red stripes and a square wave pattern with black and grey stripes to generate OMR's and ETR's in the goldfish. When we used black and red stripes, the black leading edges stimulated an ETR under scotopic conditions, red leading edges stimulated an ETR under photopic conditions, and both black and red leading edges stimulated an ETR under mesopic luminance levels. For black and gray stripes, only black leading edges stimulated an ETR in all three light illumination levels. We observed less OMR and ETR results using the sine wave pattern compared to using the square wave pattern. From these results, we deduced that the goldfish tend to prefer tracking the leading edge of the pattern. The goldfish can also detect the color of the moving pattern under photopic luminance conditions. We decided that ETR is an intriguing factor in OMR, and is suitable as a method of behavioral measurement in visual system research.

In vertical hydro/hydraulic power turbine-generator applications, traditionally, cylindrical turbine guide bearings (TGBs) are widely used to provide turbine runner shafts with smooth rotation guides and supports. All existing cylindrical TGBs with simple plain pads have drawbacks such as having no pressure generation and film stiffness at the no-load condition and in addition, at the low-load/low-eccentricity condition, having very low film stiffness values and lacking design credibility in the stiffness values themselves. In this paper, in order to fundamentally improve the low-load/low-eccentricity performance of conventional cylindrical TGBs and thus enhance their design-application availability and usefulness, we propose to introduce a rotation-directional leading-edge taper to each partitioned pad, i.e., a pad leading-edge taper. We perform a design analysis of lubrication performance on $4-Pad{\times}4-Row$ cylindrical TGBs to verify an engineering/technical usefulness of the proposed pad leading-edge taper. Analysis results show that by introducing the leading-edge taper to each pad of the cylindrical TGB one can expect a constant high average direct stiffness with a high degree of design credibility, regardless of load value, even at the low-load/low-eccentricity condition and also control the average direct stiffness value by exploring the taper height as a design parameter. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed pad leading-edge tapers are greatly effective in more accurately predicting and controlling rotordynamic characteristics of vertical hydro-power turbine-generator rotor-bearing systems to which cylindrical TGBs are applied.

Leading front of a lifted diffusion flame in turbulent mixing layer was investigated in order to find a appropriate definition of the turbulent edge propagation speed. The turbulent lifted diffusion flame was simulated by employing the flame hole dynamics combined with level-set method which yields a temporally evolving turbulent extinction process. By tracing the leading front locations of the temporal flame edges, temporal variations of the liftoff height, local flow velocity, and edge propagation speed at the leading front were investigated and they demonstrated the flame-stabilization condition of the turbulent lifted flame. Finally, a turbulent edge propagation speed was defined and its temporal variation from the simulation was discussed.
