This paper presents a new type of electrowetting driven tandem light deflector for high performance optical application. To steer an incident light, the proposed light deflector deforms the fluid interface using electrowetting actuation. The performance of the light deflector was experimentally verified by using a prototype of the proposed light deflector. Single and tandem light deflectors were separately prepared using microfabrication processes. The optical tests of the deflectors were conducted using a laser light. The proposed tandem light deflector obtained a 45° beam steering angle with a 5.3° deflection angle while a single light deflector was required for a 10.9° deflection angle to obtain the same beam steering angle. The proposed tandem light deflector with high optical capability can be applied to various optical applications from camera modules in mobile smart devices to advanced future optical systems.

The noise from the sunroof can be divided into the low frequency buffeting noise and the high frequency turbulence noise generated when a car runs at the high driving speed. The wind deflector suppresses the buffeting noise generation by accelerating the vortex shedding from the front edge of sunroof opening, and guides the flow direction so that air can pass smoothly over the sunroof opening. To reduce the buffeting noise and the high frequency noise, it is very important to locate a deflector in a proper position depending on the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. The deflector's sectional shape also plays an important role in efficiently reducing the buffeting and high frequency noise. In this paper, we determined the optimum deflector's sectional shape and examined the flow characteristics behind a sunroof deflector through CFD analysis with changing the deflector height, the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. It is found that the deflector needs to be located in the higher location to control the buffeting noise by shedding the higher frequency vortices to accelerating vortices from the sunroof front edge. The deflector may act as a new noise source at the high driving speed, then it is desirable to put the deflector at the proper height to reduce the flow fluctuations and the noise generation. We also made a road test to verify CFD analysis results in this study.

The flow-excited Helmholtz resonance phenomenon was investigated numerically using Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes approach. The fundamental cause of the Helmholtz resonance phenomenon is known as shedding of a single discrete vortex from orifice edge that travels during one period of the oscillation. In this study, serrated deflector, which is biomimetic design of the owl's feather, is used to split a single vortex into small vortices. Rectangular deflector and serrated deflector are compared with numerical results of pressure and streamline inside the cavity. Consequently, the serration breaks the shedding period of vortex core and eliminates the resonance. Also, it changes the flow pattern in according to the location of different serration height. By making inflows and outflows occur simultaneously in spanwise direction in the cavity, the period of Helmholtz resonance disappears. Comparing between rectangular deflector and serrated deflector, the serrated deflector can deal with the Helmholtz resonance more effectively.

Oil deflector prevents oil leakage that occurs in thermoelectric power plant at operating lubricant facilities. Vibration of rotating rotor-induced wear of aluminum tooth in existing oil deflector leads to oil leakage as well as life shortening of the tooth. In this study, an advanced oil deflector was developed for shock absorption and prevention of wear by decreasing clearance (from 0.5 mm to 0.2 mm) between rotor and tooth to minimize oil leakage, and by replacing 2 aluminum teeth in outmost of the oil deflector with hi-performance seal made of engineering plastic. The CFD results were compared between advanced vs. existing oil deflector to determine the amount of oil loss. Structural safety was verified through impact analyses according to the three kinds of engineering plastics, considering cost efficiency, and optimal material of hi-performance seal was chosen.

Recently, ball screws have been used in machine tools, robot parts, and medical instruments. The demand for ball screws of high precision and reduced size is increasing because of the growth of high value-added industries. Three types of ball screws are typically used: deflector type, end-cap type, and tube type. They are also classified from C0 to C9 according to the precision level. A deflector type ball screw can reduce the variation of rotational torque and the size of the nut of the ball screw is minimized. To ensure the reliable design of ball screws, it is important to perform a structural analysis. The purpose of this study is to perform a stability evaluation through analysis of a deflector type miniature ball screw for weapon systems. The analysis is performed through Finite Elements Method (FEM) simulation to predict characteristics such as deformation, stress, and thermal effects. The interference between the shaft and the deflector for smooth rotation are also studied. Based on the results of the analysis, the development of the deflector type miniature ball screw for weapon systems is performed.

This study investigates the air resistance due to deflector configurations of commonly used largetrucksat a driving speedof 80 km/h. Of the 6 models that are considered, the drag causedby the pressure on the front part of the trailer is largest for model 1. For model 1, the lift caused by the difference between the velocities of the upper and lower streams isgreatest amongall the models. Model 6 has the least resistance against the flow stream consideringthedrags and lifts of theflow models. Anoptimal design can be obtainedby investigating thesimulation analysis ofvarious deflector configurationsfor the upper part of largetrucks; this optimum deflector configuration will help reduce the air resistanceon large trucks.

In the present study, wind tunnel experiments were performed to reduce the drag of a paragliding helmet in the range of Reynolds numbers from 46,000 to 155,000. The drag force of the helmet model with dimples and deflectors installed was measured by varying the dimple depth and the slant angle of the deflector. The dimples were effective in reducing the drag at low Reynolds numbers, but no significant drag reduction was found in the Reynolds number range in which an actual paraglider flight takes place. On the other hand, the deflector installed tangentially to the side outline of the helmet showed an average drag reduction of 7% in the flight Reynolds number range of real paragliding. This was because the deflector shrunk the size of the wake region and moved the wake region downstream of the deflector.

본 연구에서는 트레일러의 디플렉터의 유무 및 그 형상들에 따른 주위의 유동해석을 하였다. 디플렉터가 없는 경우는 디플렉터가 있는 경우보다 컨테이너 뒤로 생기는 난류의 운동에너지도 더 넓은 영역에서 더 높은 운동 에너지가 발생하여 그 항력으로 인하여 차량의 주행성에 나쁜 영향을 미친다. 트레일러의 윈드 디플렉터가 없는 모델은 디플렉터가 있는 모델보다 트레일러 주변 유속이 불안정하고, 난류의 운동에너지도 많이 생겨서, 트레일러에 디플렉터를 설치하므로서 그 연비상승을 기대할 수 있다고 사료된다. 윈드 디플렉터 형상에 따른 트레일러 주위의 유동해석에 대한 연구결과를 적용함으로서, 본 연구가 미적인 융합에 적합된다고 보인다.

본 연구는 요구되는 전압효율이 83% 이상인 풍량 10,000 ㎥/min급의 장수명 송풍기를 개발하기 위하여 송풍기 침식 현상을 조사하고, 수치해석을 통하여 송풍기 성능과 송풍기 침식을 예측하였다. 송풍기 해석에 주로 많이 사용되는 검증된 상용코드인 ANSYS CFX 13.0을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에 사용된 조건은 풍량 16,200 ㎥/min, 회전수 893 rpm, 온도 330 ℃이다. 분진의 비중은 3.15이고, 입도는 90㎛~212㎛이며, 양은 265kg/min으로 하였다. 송풍기로 유입되는 분진으로 인한 송풍기의 침식현상을 정확히 해석하기 위하여 수직복원계수의 변화에 따른 침식 현상을 실제 침식현상과 비교하였다. Finne 모델을 적용하여 수치해석을 수행한 결과 평형복원계수는 1, 수직복원계수는 0.1인 경우가 실제 침식현상과 유사하게 나타났다. Duct deflector가 침식에 관하여 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 Duct deflector가 있는 모델과 없는 모델을 비교하여 침식해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 결과, Duct deflector를 설치한 경우 Impeller에서 평균 167% 감소하고, Boss에서는 평균 133% 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다. Dust deflector의 길이에 따라 총 5가지 모델을 생성하고, 이에 대하여 침식 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 길이가 가장 긴 Case 5가 침식성능이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. Case 5의 송풍기 성능은 회전수 880 rpm, 풍량 16,200 ㎥/min일 경우, 전압 691.7 mmAq와 전압효율 83.3%로 나타났다.
