Design and developments of a propeller fan for a cooling tower have been accomplished by both numerical prediction of performance and experimental validation with a wind tunnel, Main interest lies on blade geometry of a fan for optimal design of aerodynamic performance. The present methodology for numerical estimation is commercial program, Fine/Turbo, which gives us engineering information such as flow details near the blades and flow rate of it. The numerical results are compared with precise experimental output and show good agreement. Also new proposed model of a blade with the program show improved performance relative to present running model in market.

본 연구는 인력기를 개발함에 있어서 이에 적합한 프로펠러의 형상을 설계하기 위하여 진행되었다. 인력기는 인간을 유일한 동력원으로 사용하기 때문에 적은 동력, 낮은 RPM을 가지고 비행을 하게 된다. 이에 따라 기존의 항공기와는 다른 특성 및 형상을 가지는 프로펠러 개발의 필요성이 인지되었다. 본 연구에서는 설계하고자 하는 인력기의 제원에 맞는 프로펠러의 특성을 설정한 뒤, 프로펠러의 블레이드를 수 개의 airfoil section으로 나누고, 각 섹션에 대한 공력 특성을 프로펠러 이론 및 Edison CFD를 통하여 계산 및 유추하였다. 이 계산 결과를 토대로 구한 각 airfoil section의 정보를 통하여 프로펠러의 형상을 얻어 낼 수 있었으며, 최종적으로 이를 ANSYS Fluent, CFX와 같은 상용 프로그램을 이용하여 분석함으로써 설계 전에 목표로 하였던 프로펠러의 성능에 도달하였는가를 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper reports a numerical method for determining the resistance and self-propulsion performance of an asymmetric pre-swirl stator used as an energy saving device by cancelling a propeller's rotational energy. The present asymmetric pre-swirl stator propulsion system consists of three blades at the port and one blade at the starboard, which can effectively recover the biased rotating flow. This paper provides the design concept for the present asymmetric stator, which produces more efficient results than a conventional propeller.

Post swirl stator is an energy saving device to recover rotational energy of the propeller. To optimize the performance of post swirl stator in container vessels, computational fluid dynamics using body force method was introduced. A commercial code Fluent was used in conjunction with body force distributed on the surface of actuator disk which is located in the propeller plane to optimize pitch angle of the post swirl stator blade. This study showed that CFD is an important tool to simulate flow behind ship with propeller, rudder and post swirl stator.

Current trends in propeller design have led to the need for extremely complex blade shapes, which place great demands on the accuracy of design and analysis methods. This paper presents a new proposal for improving the prediction of propeller performance with a vortex lattice method using the lifting surface theory. The paper presents a review of the theory and a description of the numerical methods employed. For 8 different propellers, the open water characteristics are calculated and compared with experimental data. The results are in good agreement in the region of a high advanced velocity, but there are differences in the other case. We have corrected the parameters for the trailing wake modeling in this paper, and repeated the calculation. The new calculation results are more in agreement with the experimental data.

In the present paper, we focus on the flow computation of a low head Propeller turbine at a wide range of design and off-design operating conditions. First, we will present the results on the efficiency hill chart prediction of the Propeller turbine and discuss the consequences of using non-homologous blade geometries for the CFD simulation. The flow characteristics of the entire turbine will be also investigated and compared with experimental data at different measurement planes. Two operating conditions are selected, the first one at the best efficiency point and the second one at part load condition. At the same time, for the same selected operating points, the numerical results for the entire turbine simulation will be compared with flow simulation with our standard stage calculation approach which includes only guide vane, runner and draft tube geometries.

In the present study, a practical method to predict cavitation erosion, which caused a critical damage on hydraulic machineries, was developed. Impact and critical velocities were defined to develop a practical method for the prediction of cavitation erosion. To develope the practical method, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was introduced. Cavitating flows with erosion in a converging-diverging nozzle and around a hydrofoil were simulated by developed and validated code. Based on the CFD results, the cavitation erosion coefficient was derived by a curve fitting method. The cavitation erosion coefficient was formulated as the function of the cavitation and Reynolds numbers. A cavitating flow in an axisymmetric nozzle followed by radial divergence was simulated to validate the developed practical method. For the application to a propeller, a cavitating flow around a propeller was simulated. Predicted damage extent showed similar with damaged full-scale propeller blade.

Noises from the large scale marine propeller are calculated numerically on non-cavitation condition. The hydrodynamic analysis are carried out by potential based panel method with time marching free wake approach. The distribution of hyrodynamic loads on the propeller surface and noise signals are obtained using the unsteady Bernoulli's equation and the Farasssat formula respectively. It turns out that the noise signal shows strong peak at the blade passage frequency. Noise signals and directivity patterns for both the thickness and the loading noise are compared with each other. The directivity pattern for the loading noise shows minor lobe at the backward side of the rotating disc plane.

본 논문에서는 선체-프로펠러-주기관 사이의 상호 작용을 해석함으로써, 선박의 추진 계통을 최적화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 프로펠러의 직경과 전개 면적비를 체계적으로 변화시켜 가면서, 캐비테이션을 고려하여, 주어진 선속에서의 최적의 회전수-소요 마력의 조합을 선정한다. 그리고, 이에 대응하는 주기관 후보를 찾아내어, 각 후보의 연료 소비율을 비교함으로써, 연료 소비율이 최소가 되는 주기관을 결정하고, 동시에 프로펠러의 주요 요목을 결정하는 프로그램의 개발과정을 설명하였다.
