Numerical study is presented for the analysis of three-dimensional incompressible turbulent flows in multiblade centrifugal fan. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard k - $\epsilon$ turbulence model are transformed to non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, and are discretized with finite volume approximations. Linear Upwind Differencing Scheme(LUDS) is used to approximate the convection terms in the governing equations. SIMPLEC algorithm is used as a velocity-pressure correction procedure. The computational area is divided into three blocks; core, impeller and scroll, which are linked by multi-block method. The flow inside of the fan is regarded as steady flow, and mathematical formula established from the cascade theory and empirical coefficient are employed to simulate tile flow through the impeller. From comparisons between the computational results and the experimental data, the validity of the mathematical formula for the blade forces was examined and good results were obtained qualitatively. Hence, we can get the flow characteristics of multi-blade centrifugal fan and it will be a corner stone of the development of the multiblade centrifugal fan.

There are many efforts to mechanize the process for underwater port construction due to the severe and adverse working environment. This paper presents an underwater construction robot to level rubbles on the seabed for port construction. The robot is composed of a blade and a multi-functional arm to flatten the rubble mound with respect to the reference level at uneven terrain and to dig and dump the rubbles. This research analyzes the kinematics of the blade and the multi-functional arm including track and swing motions with respect to a world coordinate assigned to a reference depth sensor. This analysis is conducted interfacing with the position and orientation sensors installed at the robot. A hydraulic control system is developed to control a track, a blade and a multi-functional arm for rubble leveling work. The experimental results of rubble leveling work conducted by the robot are presented in land and subsea. The working speed of the robot is eight times faster than that of a human diver, and the working quality is acceptable. The robot is expected to have much higher efficiency in deep water where a human diver is unable to work.

개별 블레이드 피치 제어(individual blade pitch control)는 각각의 로터 블레이드의 피치각을 독립적으로 조정함으로써 블레이드에 작용하는 공력을 변화시키는 원리로 풍력 터빈 구조물에 발생하는 동적 피로하중을 저감시키기 위한 제어기법이다. 그러나 개별 피치 제어에 의해 발생하는 각 블레이드의 독립적인 피치 운동은 풍력 터빈 회전자에 비대칭성을 야기하고 구조물의 동적 불안정 현상을 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 정확한 동적 해석이 선행되어야 한다. 하지만 블레이드의 피치 운동이 반영된 풍력 터빈은 시변계로 간주되어 기존의 시불변계 해석기법을 직접 적용할 수 없기 때문에 동적 해석에 어려움이 있다. 이 논문에서는 각각의 블레이드 피치운동을 주기함수로 근사화 함으로써 풍력 터빈을 주기 시변계로 모형화한다. 그리고 효율적으로 주기 시변계의 근사해를 구하기 위한 변조 좌표 변환(modulated coordinate transformation)기법을 적용하여 블레이드의 피치운동이 반영된 풍력 터빈의 동적 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 그리고 현재 풍력 터빈의 동적 해석에 활용되는 대표적인 해석 기법인 다중 블레이드 좌표변환(multi-blade coordinate transformation)기법을 이용한 해석보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

This paper presents the dynamic analysis method for estimating the performance of flat-type blades in wiper systems. The blade has nonlinear characteristics since the rubber is a hyper-elastic material. Thus, modal coordinate and absolute nodal coordinate formulations were used to describe the dynamic characteristic of the blade. The blade was structurally analyzed to find the bending characteristics of the cross section of the blade. According to the analysis results, the blade section is divided into three deformation bodies: rigid, small, and large. For the small deformation body, the modal coordinate formulation is used, while the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is used for the large deformation body. To verify the dynamic analysis result, an experiment was performed. The simulation and experiment results were compared to verify the flexible multi-body dynamic model.

The modified Moonie(Cymbal) transducer has been investigated for an accelerometer application. This paper present a wind-mill type ultrasonic motors using ternary piezoelectric ceramics and aluminum endcaps applied by cymbal transducer. The maximum displacement was increased depend on applied voltage and layer number. The multi-layer was fabricated by tape casting using doctor-blade process. The maximum displacement of multi-layered ultrasonic motor was much higher than that of one-layered.

A wind turbine simulation program for the coupled dynamics of aerodynamics, elasticity, multi-body dynamics and controls of turbine is newly developed by combining an aero-elastic code and a multi-body dynamics code. The aero-elastic code, based on the blade momentum theory and generalized dynamic wake theory, is developed by NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA). The multi-body dynamics code is commercial one which is capable of accounting for geometric nonlinearity and twist deflection. A turbulent wind load case is simulated for the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine model by the developed program and FAST. As a result, the two results agree well enough to verify the reliability of the developed program.

A commercial CFD code is applied to analyze the 3-D viscous flow field within vertical multi-stage centrifugal pimp including impeller with 6 blades and guide vane with 11 blades and is performed by changing flow rate from 10 to $26\;m^3/h$ at the constant 3500rpm. The purpose of this 3-D numerical simulation is to confirm how much the effect of blade inlet angle of guide vane has an influence on the performance of vertical multi-stage centrifugal pimp. these results performed by $20^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}$ inlet angle of guide vane are compared with grundfos performance data. The vertical multi-stage pump consist of the impeller, guide vane, and cylinder. The characteristics such as total pressure coefficient total heat shaft horse power, power efficiency, discharge coefficient are represented according to flow rate changing.
