  • The unsteady flow calculation around the proprotor of Smart UAV was conducted. Using the flight scenario of SUAV which composed of hover, transition, and airplane mode, the aerodynamic analysis of proprotor were performed for the variation of collective pitch, rpm, forward speed, and tilt angle. The unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations were used for the calculation and the dynamic overset grid technique was applied for the rotating proprotor. The aerodynamic performance of proprotor calculated in this way were validated by comparing with the performance data obtained from the blade element momentum method.

  • This paper deals with a design of nonlinear glide slope capture logic using dynamic model inversion in singular perturbation, which is applicable to the autolanding in ILS. Aircraft dynamics are separated into the fast time-scale variables, related with the inner-loop design, and the slow time-scale variables, related with the outer-loop design. It is assumed that the aircraft starts landing at 1000ft of altitude, -2.5deg of flight path angle, and 250ft/sec of velocity. In the outer-loop design, commands of altitude and velocity are selected and thereby the pseudo-controls of power level and pitch rate are determined. Also the elevator input to the aircraft is determined in the inner-loop design. The final design is evaluated in 6 DOF simulation model of the associated aircraft, in which the actuator models are not included. The results show the satisfactory autolanding ...

  • The aerodynamic performance of a shrouded tail rotor in hover has been studied by using a compressible inviscid flow solver on unstructured meshes. The numerical method is based on a cell­centered finite-volume discretization and an implicit Gauss-Seidel time integration. The results show that the performance of an isolated rotor without shroud compares well with experiment. In the case of a shrouded rotor, correction of the collective pitch angle is made such that the overall performance matches with experiment to account for the uncertainties of the experimental model configuration. Details of the flow field compare well with the experiment confirming the validity of the present method.

  • Recently there has been a remarkable increase in the number of high speed and large ships and the high power involved for propulsion of above ships has brought high pitch ratio and highly skewed propeller. The recent tendency toward highly skewed propeller has increased the load on propeller blades, and the fatigue strength of propeller blades has become the critical point in design of propellers for ships. In this paper the effect of stress ratio and skew angle on the fatigue strength of highly skewed propeller, the statistical inference on the total revolutions of highly skewed propeller for 20 years under normal sea going state. and so on have been discussed. On the basis of above discussions, the highly skewed propeller blade thicknesses by the rules of classification society and the standards of manufacturer in country were compared and reviewed.

  • Screw conveyors are used extensively in industrial for conveying and elevating materials. Despite their apparent simplicity, the mechanics of the conveying action is very complex. so many engineers depend on experiential data. Capacities of screw are pumping, steady flow of polymer melts, steady volumetric throughput etc. they are affected by geometry of screw, heat flux, pressure on inside barrel, rotating velocity, friction coefficient at screw surface etc. by computation volumetric efficiency increases as rotating velocity increases and decreases as friction coefficient increases. also it decreases with short pitch length. and double flight screw is more effective than single flight screw. The temperature of polymer melts by heating pad and injection pressure play a very important role in the injection molding machine. so in this paper we analyze thermal distortion and stress of screw includes pressure and temperature distributions by finite element analysis to understand what design factors influence on volumetric throughput efficiency of the screw and thermo-mechanical characteristics of screw.

  • To evaluate the aerodynamic efficiency of TR-S2 configuration designed by SUDC, wind tunnel tests of $40\%$ scaled model were done in KARI LSWT. The aerodynamic characteristics of plain and Semi-Slotted Flaperon were compared, and vortex generators were installed to improve flow pattern along the wing surface. Effects of the control surface such as elevator, rudder, aileron, and incidence angle of horizontal tail are measured for various testing conditions. Test results showed that Semi-Slotted Flaperon produced more favorable lift, lift/drag, and stall margins and application of vortex generator would be best choice to enhance wing performance. Longitudinal, lateral and directional characteristics of TR-S2 were found to be stable for the pitch and yaw motions.

  • The characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop through tubes has been investigated experimentally for a compound heat transfer enhancement. The test tubes were spirally indented tubes with wire coil inserts which had a various combinations of pitch and helix angles. Pure water was used as working fluids for the experiments, Heat transfer coefficients and friction factors of the test tubes were evaluated from the values of measured temperatures, flow rates and pressure drops. An performance evaluation was performed to find an optimal combination of spirally indented tubes with wire coil inserts. When the helix angle of wire coil insert are $71^{\circ}-72^{\circ}$, the best heat transfer enhancement was shown. The friction factor was 9 - 13 times higher than those in smooth tubes, and the heat transfer was enhanced a maximum of 500%.

  • This paper concerns the navigation algorithm of motion reference unit (MRU) for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) We apply the strapdown navigation system using middle level inertial sensors. But, because the MRU consists of inertial sensors, the values of AUV motion calculated by navigation computer are increased by drift property of inertial sensors. Therefore, we propose the attitude algorithm using switching method according to the motion of AUV From this algorithm, the drift terms are eliminated effectively for roll and pitch. But, another device is required for yaw angle.

  • To calculate the attitude in ARS(Attitude Reference System) using 3 gyros and 3 accelerometers, gyro drift must be compensated with accelerometer to avoid divergence of attitude error. Kalman filter is most popular method to integrate those two sensor outputs. In this paper, new Kalman filtering method is proposed for roll and pitch attitude estimation. New states are defined to make linear equation and algorithm for changing Kalman filter parameters is proposed to ignore disturbances of acceleration. This algorithm can be easily applied to low cost ARS.

  • 고속 선박을 추진하는 한 방법으로 널리 사용되는 물분사 추진은 물을 내부 덕트로 빨아들여 임펠러로 물을 가속시켜 노즐을 통해 분사시킴으로써 입출구의 운동량차이에 의해 추력을 얻는 추진장치이다. 선박의 목적에 따라 사용되는 다양한 형태의 물분사 추진기의 개발을 위하여 모형실험을 통하여 그 성능을 검증하는 부분에서 로터의 피치각 변화에 따른 추진기의 성능 실험을 하는 것은 많은 비용과 시간이 따른다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 추진기 내부의 유동장을 4가지 피치각에 따라 추진력을 3차원 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 이용하여 해석하였다. 로터의 회전을 고려하여 슬라이딩 다중 격자기법을 적용하였고 추력계수, 토크계수, 그리고 모멘텀을 해석 결과와 비교 분석을 통하여 추진기의 성능과 효율을 추정하였다.
