본 연구에서는 저 레이놀즈수 유동에서 flapping운동을 하는 익형이 가질 수 있는 2차원 평면상의 운동궤적에 따른 공력특성을 연구하였다. 익형이 유동흐름방향으로 왕복 운동하는 lead-lag운동과 plunging운동의 조합으로 2차원 평면상에 나타날 수 있는 여러 운동궤적을 합성하여 flapping 주파수 변화에 따른 공력계수들의 변화를 살펴보았다. 상하방향의 순수 plunging운동에 lead-lag운동을 추가함으로써, 평균추력계수와 평균양력계수를 증가시킬 수 있는 운동궤적이 존재함을 확인하였다. 아울러 운동주기 동안 나타나는 추력계수와 양력계수의 변화를 비교하여 upstroke와 downstroke시 나타나는 공력특성을 파악하였다.

A flowfields around a NACA0012 airfoil pitching about a 1/4 chord and plunging in vertical displacement are analyzed by solving two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. A steady solution was solved first as a validation of the code used and the results were compared with experimental data. Then as a unsteady case, the oscillatory airfoil was solved to compare the results with experimental data. Oscillating rate of pitching and plunging motion was set to have analogy and the magnitude of plunging was set using the magnitude of pitching angle of attack. Finally combined pitching and plunging motion was solved to show the effect of 2 different types of oscillating motion of the airfoil.

Much numerical and experimental research has been done for the flow around an oscillating airfoil. The main research topics are vortex shedding, dynamic stall phenomenon, MAV's lift and thrust generation. Until now, researches mainly have been concentrated on analyzing the wake flow for the variation of frequency and amplitude at a low angle of attack. In this study, wake structures and acoustic wave propagation characteristics were studied for a plunging airfoil at high angle of attack. The governing equations are the Navier-Stokes equation with LES turbulence model. OHOC (Optimized High-Order Compact) scheme and 4th order Runge-Kutta method were used. The Mach number is 0.3, the Reynolds number is, and the angle of attack is from $20^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$. The plunging frequency and the amplitude are from 0.05 to 0.15, and from 0.1 to 0.2, respectively. Due to the high resolution numerical method, wake vortex shedding and pressure wave propagation process, as well as the propagation characteristics of acoustic waves can be simulated. The results of frequency analysis show that the flow has the mixed characteristics of the forced plunging frequency and the vortex shedding frequency at high angle of attack.

비정상, 비압축성 Navier-Stokes 코드를 이용하여, 저 레이놀즈수 유동에서 flapping 운동을 하는 익형의 공력특성을 수치해석적인 방법으로 연구하였다. 비정상 유동장의 효율적인 계산을 위하여, 개발된 코드는 MPI 프로그래밍 기법을 이용하여 병렬처리 되었으며, 난류 유동장의 계산을 위해 2방정식 난류모델의 하나인 k-$\omega$ SST 모델을 적용하였다. 익형의 3가지 운동모드 즉, pitching, plunging, flapping과 주파수 및 진폭의 변화 그리고 두께와 캠버의 변화에 의한 공력특성을 살펴보았고, 이를 위해 NACA4자 계열의 익형을 이용하였다. 해석 결과는 실험치와 비교하여 보았을 때 잘 일치하였으며, 각 운동모드에서의 공기역학적 특성을 파악할 수 있었다.

In this work, we propose a new idea of flapping airfoil design for optimal aerodynamic performance from detailed computational investigations of flow physics. Generally, flapping motion which is combined with pitching and plunging motion of airfoil, leads to complex flow features such as leading edge separation and vortex street. As it is well known, the mechanism of thrust generation of flapping airfoil is based on inverse Karman-vortex street. This vortex street induces jet-like flow field at the rear region of trailing edge and then generates thrust. The leading edge separation vortex can also play an important role with its aerodynamic performances. The flapping airfoil introduces an alternative propulsive way instead of the current inefficient propulsive system such as a propeller in the low Reynolds number flow. Thrust coefficient and propulsive efficiency are the two major parameters in the design of flapping airfoil as propulsive system. Through numerous computations, we found the specific physical flow phenomenon which governed the aerodynamic characteristics in flapping airfoil. Based on this physical insight, we could come up with a new kind of airfoil of tadpole-shaped and more enhanced aerodynamic performance.

Aeroelastic response and control of airfoil-flap system exposed to sonic-boom, blast and gust loads in an incompressible subsonic flowfield are addressed. Analytical analysis and pertinent numerical simulations of the aeroelastic response of 3-DOF airfoil featuring plunging-pitching-flapping coupled motion subjected to gust and explosive pressures in terms of important characteristic parameters specifying configuration envelope are presented. The comparisons of uncontrolled aeroelastic response with controlled one of the wing obtained by feedback control methodology are supplied, which is implemented through the flap torque to suppress the flutter instability and enhance the subcritical aeroelastic response to time-dependent excitations.

This paper deals with a thrust generation of flapping-airfoil by dynamic stall. From many other previous research results, phase angle $ between pitching and plunging mode of flapping motion must be 90 deg. to satisfy maximum propulsive efficiency. In this case, leading edge vortex is relatively small. This phenomenon is related dynamic stall. So preventing leading edge vortex induced by dynamic stall guarantees maximum propulsive efficiency. But, in this paper we insist the leading edge vortex yields quite a positive influence on thrust generation and propulsive efficiency. In order to certify our opinion, pitching and plunging motions were calculated with the parameter of amplitude and frequency by using the unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver with a two-equation turbulence model. For more efficient computation, it is parallelized by MPI programming method.

The motion of birds and insects have been studied and applied to MAV(Micro Air Vehicle) and AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). Most of AUV research is focused on shape and motion of single hydrofoil. However, double hydrofoil system is mostly used in real physics. This system shows completely different hydrodynamic characteristic to single hydrofoil because of wake interaction. The goal of this study is define the trajectory of wake interaction in double hydrofoil system. Moreover, trust and efficiency of various combined motion will be demonstrated. Symmetry airfoil is used for analysis an hydrodynamic characteristic. Forward wing's plunging and pitching motion is fixed, hide wing's Heaving ratio, Pitch phase shift from forward plunging and Heaving shift is changed. This study provide necessary basic data of motion optimization for double hydrofoil system.

This paper deals with a thrust generation on flapping-airfoil by dynamic stall. Dynamic stall refers to a series of complicated aerodynamic phenomena accompanied by a stall delay in unsteady motion. In most cases, once it occurs, the dynamic stall may lead to an abrupt fluctuation of aerodynamic forces. An inverse $k\acute{a}rm\acute{a}n$ vortex has been considered as a main reason for a thrust generation. In this paper, however, we have found out that a thrust is closely related to reduced frequency and leading edge vortex in addition to inverse Karman vortex. In order to certify our opinion, picking and plunging motions were calculated with the parameter of amplitude and frequency by using the unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver with a two-equation turbulence model. For more efficient computation, it is parallelized by MPI programming method.
