다양한 3차원 전두부 형상을 효과적으로 모델링할 수 있는 열차형상함수를 이용하여 실제 차량인 KTX 산천 전두부 형상의 공기저항을 저감하는 최적설계를 수행하였다. KTX 산천 전두부의 2차원 단면형상의 특성 곡선을 추출하고 열차형상함수를 이용하여 KTX 산천의 최적설계용 유선형 기본형상을 구성하였다. 기본형상을 이용해 상용 고속열차 전두부의 형상 제약조건을 위반하지 않는 설계공간을 구축하였다. Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno 알고리즘을 이용한 최적설계를 수행하여 기본형상 대비 약 6%의 공기저항을 저감할 수 있었다. 최적형상은 기본형상에 비해 전두부 길이가 길고 끝단이 약간 날카로운 형상을 가져 후미차량에서의 와류의 크기를 줄임으로써 공기저항을 저감하였다.

A nose shape is strongly related with the aerodynamic performances of train. Therefore shape definition and aerodynamic performance analysis are important for train nose shape design. In this study, a new design method was suggested for train nose shape design by configuration function. To this end, the nose shape was classified by box type and each box shape is defined. After that the 3-D shape of train was defined as several mathematical functions by combination of each box shape. Also it was shown that the wind shield of driver's seat and complex curves of surface can be expressed using superposition of functions. This methodology can be used for grid generation of numerical analysis, and applied to aerodynamic optimization design of nose shape.

When a train runs into a tunnel at high-speed, aerodynamic drag suddenly increases and the booming noise is generated at the exit of tunnel. The noise shape is very important to reduce the aerodynamic drag in tunnel as well as on open ground, and the micro-pressure wave that is a source of booming noise is dependent on nose shape, especially on area distribution. In this study, the nose shape has been optimized employing the response surface methodology and the axi-symmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The optimal designs have been executed imposing various conditions of the aerodynamic drag and the micro-pressure wave on object functions. The results show that the multi-objective design was successful to decrease micro-pressure wave and aerodynamic drag of trains.

The tunnel booming noise generated by a train moving into a tunnel has been one of the most serious constraints in the development of the high-speed trains. It is well known that the nose shape of the train has the significant influence on the intensity of the booming noise. In this study, the nose shape has been optimized by using the response surface methodology and the axi-symmetric compressible Euler equations. The parametric studies are also performed with respect to the slenderness ratio, the blockage ratio and the train speed to investigate their sensitivities to the optimization results. The results show that it is possible to define more general design space by introducing the Hicks-Henne shape functions, resulting in the more effective nose shape than that of Maeda. The mechanism and the aspects of the train-tunnel interaction were also investigated from the results of the parametric study.

The next generation of Korean high-speed train under development will be designed for the maximum operating speed of 350km/h and maximum speed of 400km/h. This high-speed operation may cause the noise and vibration problems around tunnel exit due to the higher micro-pressure wave than present level. In this study, the nose shape optimization was conducted for the countermeasure against these problems. Axi-symmetric solver was used for numerical simulation, and response surface was used for efficiency of optimization process. Also the multi-step optimization was conducted to find out more accurate optimal shape. Through these analysis and optimization, it was found out that the optimal nose shapes for minimization of micro-pressure wave are definitely different along the nose length variation. And the mechanism of micro-pressure wave reduction was closely investigated by the analysis of generation process of compression wave in tunnel. The results are expected to be used as design guideline for performance improvement of the next generatin of Korean high-speed train.

When a projectile travels at high speed underwater, supercavitating flow arises, in which a huge cavity is generated behind the projectile so that only the nose, i.e., the cavitator, of the projectile is wetted, while the rest of it should be surrounded by the cavity. In that case, the projectile can achieve very high speed due to the reduced drag. Furthermore if the nose of the body is shaped properly, the attendant pressure drag can be maintained at a very low value, so that the overall drag is also reduced dramatically. In this study, shape optimization technique is employed to determine the optimum cavitator shape for minimum drag, given certain operating conditions. Shape optimization technique is also used to solve the potential flow problem fur any given cavitator, which is a free boundary value problem having the cavity shape as unknown a priori. Analytical sensitivities are derived for various shape parameters in order to implement a gradient-based optimization algorithm. Simultaneous optimization technique is proposed for efficient cavitator shape optimization, in which the cavity and cavitator shape are determined in a single optimization routine.

To improve the performance at all design points, multi-point optimization method is implemented for the nose fairing shape design of space launcher. The response surface method is used to effectively reduce the huge computational loads during the optimization process. The drag is selected as the objective function, and the surface heat transfer characteristics, and the internal volume of the nose fairing ate considered as design constraints. Full Wavier-Stokes equations are selected as governing equations. Two points drag minimization, and two points drag / heat flux optimization were successfully performed and configurations which have good performance for the wide operation range were derived. By considering three design points, the space launcher shape which undergoes the least drag during whole flight mission was designed. For all the design cases, the constructed response surfaces show good confidence level with only 23 design points with the proper stretching of the design space.

수중에서 발사체가 고속으로 주행할 때 발사체의 머리 즉, 캐비테이터 만이 물과 접촉한 상태에서 커다란 공동이 발생하여 몸체 전체를 뒤덮는 초공동현상이 발생한다. 초공동 상태에서는 발사체는 저항이 감소되어 매우 빠른 속도를 낼 수 있게 된다. 더욱이 캐비테이터가 적합한 형상을 가지게 되면 매우 낮은 압력저항을 유지하고 전체적인 저항도 획기적으로 줄일 수 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 주어진 작용환경 하에서 저항을 최소화 하기위한 최적의 캐비테이터 형상최적설계 문제를 고려하였다. 그리고 효율적인 캐비테이터 형상최적화를 위해 공동과 캐비테이터 형상을 하나의 죄적화로 변환한 동시최적화기법을 수행하였다.
