동 연구에서는 전진비행하는 로터의 평균 유입류 예측기법 중 Drees 선형모델, 몇가지 변형된 형태의 Mangler & Squire 모델을 서로 비교하여 각 유입류 모델의 특성을 알아내고, KARI 자체 자유후류기법 코드의 해석결과를 함께 비교하여 각 유입류 예측기법의 특성을 파악하였다. 각 예측기법의 비교를 위해 유입류 실험치가 존재하는 로터에 대하여 전진비 0.15, 0.23 및 0.30의 3가지 비행조건을 적용하여 예측한 결과를 비교 분석하였다. Drees 모델의 경우 비교적 실험치에 근접하게 예측하나, 선형모델의 한계로 인해 유입류의 비균일성을 모델링하기에는 미흡하며, Mangler & Squire 모델은 끝단을 제외하고는 비교적 실험치에 근접하게 예측함을 알 수 있었으며, KARI의 자유후류기법은 유입류의 비균일성을 매우 잘 예측하나, 동체에 의한 올려흐름 효과, 후퇴부에서의 동적실속 효과 등의 추가 고려가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

Helical tip vortex is known as stable vortex structure, however the specific frequency component of far wake perturbation induces the vortex pairing in hover and axial flight. It is expected that the tip vortex pairing phenomena may happen in transition flight and very low advance ratio flight so that inflow may be most nonuniform in the low advance ratio flight. The objectives of this paper are that a tip-vortex instability during the transition from hover into very low advance ratio forward flight is numerically predicted to understand a physics by using a time-marching free-wake method. To achieve the objectives, numerical method is firstly validated in typical axial and forward flights cases. Present scheme with trim routine can predict airloads and inflow distribution of forward flight with good accuracy. Then, the transition flight condition is calculated. The rotor used in this wake calculation is a small-scale AH-1G model. By using a tip-vortex trajectory tracking method, the tip-vortex pairing process are clearly observed in transient flight($\mu$=0.03) and disappears at a slightly higher advance ratio($\mu$=0.05). According to the steady flight simulation at $\mu$=0.03, it is confirmed the tip-vortex pairing process is continued in the rear part of rotor disk and not occurs in the front part. Time averaged inflow in this case is predicted as smooth distribution.

Performance characteristics of an axial flow fan having distorted inlet flow have been investigated using numerical analysis as well as experiment. Two kinds of hub-cap, round shape and right-angled front shape, are tested to investigate the effect of inlet flow distortion on the fan performance. In case of right-angled front shape, axisymmetric distorted inflow is induced by flow separation at the sharp edge of hub-cap, and the characteristics of the inflow depends on the distance between hub-cap and blade leading edge. Flow analysis of the blade passage is peformed by solving the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. numerical solutions are validated in comparison with experimental data measured by a five-hole probe downstream of the fan rotor. It is found from the numerical results that non-uniform axial inlet velocity profile near the hub results in the change of inlet flowangle. The changed inlet flow angle near the hub invokesa flow separation on the blade surfaces, thus deteriorating the fan efficiency. The effect of the distance between hub-cap and blade leading edge on the efficiency is also discussed.
