대칭익형 단면을 가지는 모형 깃 끝와류의 후류유동구조의 전개과정을 관찰하기 위하여 2차원 LDV 시스템을 이용하여 끝와류의 회전성분과 축성분을 상평균 기법으로 측정하였다. 비대칭익 로터 깃의 특징에 비하여 대칭익 로터깃의 끝와류는 $27^{\circ}$ 부근까지 성장 과정이 진행되어 다소 늦게 형성되었으며 그 이후부터 상대적으로 완만하게 확산모드가 진행되었다. 회전성분은 실험이 진행된 $360^{\circ}$ 까지 Vatistas의 n=2모델에 우수한 접근성을 보이면서 자기상사성을 갖는 것으로 관찰되었고 축방향성분은 비대칭익에 비하여 훨씬 강한 세기로 나타나면서 정규분포 성향을 나타내었다. 이들의 결과들은 대칭익의 경우 로터의 추력 발생면에서 끝단손실이 상대적으로 큰 것으로 확인이 되었다.

This paper presents the effect of rotor geometry on the performance of a small-scale Wells turbine for wave energy conversion. In this study, four kinds the Wells turbine of blade profile were selected from previous studies. The types of blade profile included in the papers are as follows: NACA0020 ; NACA0015; CA9; and HSIM 15-262123-1576. The experimental investigations have been performed for two solidities by testing model under steady flow conditions. The effect of blade profile on the running and starting characteristics under sinusoidal flow conditions have also been investigated by a numerical simulation based on a quasi-steady analysis. In addition, the effect of sweep on the turbine characteristics has been studied for the cases of CA9 and HSIM 15-262123-1576. Based on the evaluation, a suitable choice of these design factors has been suggested. As a result, it seems that a suitable choice of the sweep ratio of 0.35 for the blade profile of the Wells turbine.

The paper focuses on the integration of a non-linear one-dimensional model of Synthetic Jet (SJ) actuator in a well-assessed numerical simulation method for turbulent compressible flows. The computational approach is intended to the implementation of a numerical tool suited for flow control simulations with affordable CPU resources. A strong compromise is sought between the use of boundary conditions or zero-dimensional models and the full simulation of the actuator cavity, in view of long-term simulation with multiple synthetic jet actuators. The model is integrated in a multi-domain numerical procedure where the controlled flow field is simulated by a standard CFD method for compressible RANS equations, while flow inside the actuator is reduced to a one-dimensional duct flow with a moving piston. The non-linear matching between the two systems, which ensures conservation of the mass, momentum and energy is explained. The numerical method is successfully tested against three typical test cases: the jet in quiescent air, the SJ in cross flow and the flow control on the NACA0015 airfoil.

Energy is a direct restriction to the working life of an underwater mooring platform (UMP). In this paper, a vertical axis water turbine (VAWT) is designed to supply energy for UMPs. The VAWT has several controlled blades, which can be opened or closed by inside plunger pumps. Two-dimensional transient numerical studies are presented to determine the operating performance and power output of the turbine under low ocean current velocity. A standard k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is used to perform the transient simulations. The influence of structural parameters, including foil section profile, foil chord length and rotor diameter, on the turbine performance are investigated over a range of tip-speed-ratios (TSRs). It was found that turbine with three unit length NACA0015 foils generated a maximum averaged coefficient of power, 0.1, at TSR = 2.

Three-dimensional dynamic stall over an oscillating wing has been analyzed by using a compressible Navier-Stokes code. The code solved the thin-layer Navirer-Stokes equations with a second-order time accuracy for a semispan wing with 0.3048m chord, a NACA 0015 airfoil section, and zero twist Computations were made for a freestream Mach number of 0.29, a chord Reynolds number of 1.95$\times$10(sup)6 and a reduced frequency equal to 0.1. Numerical results were compared with experimental data which include the hysteresis of lift, drag and moment at various wing span. The comparison reveals the quantitative as well as qualitative nature of the three-dimensional dynamic stall.

Fins are widely used for roll stabilization of passenger ferries and high performance naval ships, among others. In the present study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the influence of end-plates upon the cavitation characteristics of a stabilizer fin for various angles of attack and speeds and the results are verified through a series of model experiments. It is found that a considerable retardation in tip vortex cavitation can be achieved with attachment of end-plates at the tip of the stabilizer fin. The results can be utilized for the design of stabilizer fins as well as the development of high performance control devices for ships.

Researchers have previously proven that the flapping motion of the hydrofoil can convert wave energy into propulsive energy. However, the estimation of thrust forces generated by the flapping foil placed in waves remains a challenging task for ocean engineers owing to the complex dynamics and uncertainties involved. In this study, the flapping foil system consists of a rigid NACA0015 section undergoing harmonic flapping motion and a passively actuated elastic flat plate attached to the leading edge of the rigid foil. We have experimentally measured the thrust force generated due to the flapping motion of a rigid foil attached to an elastic plate in a wave flume, and the effects of the elastic plates have been discussed in detail. Furthermore, an empirical formula was introduced to predict the thrust force of a flapping foil based on our experimental results using multiple regression analysis.

A numerical investigation was performed to determine the effect of airfoil on the optimum flap height using NACA0015 Wells turbine. The five double flaps which have 0.5% chord height difference were selected. A Wavier-Stokes code, CFX-TASCflow, was used to calculate the flow field of the Wells turbine. The basic feature of the Wells turbine is that even though the cyclic airflow produces oscillating axial forces on the airfoil blades, the tangential force on the rotor is always in the same direction. Geometry used to define the 3-D numerical grid is based upon that of an experimental test rig. This paper tries to analyze the optimum double flap of Wells turbine with the numerical analysis.

This study strives to develop an effective strategy to inhibit cavitation inception on hydrofoils by using local cooling technique. By setting up a temperature boundary condition and cooling a small area on the upper surface of a hydrofoil, the fluid temperature around the cooling surface will be decreased and thereby the corresponding liquid saturation pressure will drop below the lowest absolute pressure within the flow field. Hence, cavitation can never occur. In this paper, a NACA0015 hydrofoil at $4^{\circ}$ angle of attack was numerically investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique. The CFD results indicate that the cooling temperature and the cooling surface roughness are the critical factors affecting the success of such technique used for cavitation suppression.

Wave energy is one of the most available sources of renewable energy in the world. It has been previously proven that the flapping foil can generate thrust forces using energy from the surface waves and an empirical formula was proposed to predict the thrust forces generated by a flapping foil consist of NACA0015 section (Kumar and Shin, 2019a). However, the proposed empirical formula was restricted to the head waves i.e. 0° azimuth angle which was not useful for the flapping foils encountering with oblique and following waves. Therefore, in this study, the thrust empirical formula was modified to include the effects of azimuth angles based on the experimentally obtained data. And the modified empirical equations were validated by the combination of foils experimentally.
