Counter Rotating Turbine (CRT) is an axial turbine with a nozzle followed by a rotor and another rotor that rotates in the opposite direction of the first one. Axial spacing between blade rows plays major role in its performance. Present work involves computationally studying the performance and flow field of CRT with axial spacing of 10, 30 and 70% for different mass flow rates. The turbine components are modeled for all the three spacing. Velocity, pressure, entropy and Mach number distributions across turbine stage are analyzed. Effect of spacing on losses and performance in case of stage, Rotor1 and Rotor2 are elaborated. Results confirm that an optimum axial spacing between turbine components can be obtained for the improved performance of CRT.

A numerical hydrodynamic performance analysis of the pitch-type multibody wave energy converter (WEC) is carried out based on both linear potential flow theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the unidirectional wave condition. In the present study, Salter's duck (rotor) is chosen for the analysis. The basic concept of the WEC rotor, which nods when the pressure-induced motions are in phase, is that it converts the kinetic and potential energies of the wave into rotational mechanical energy with the proper power-take-off system. This energy is converted to useful electric energy. The analysis is carried out using three WEC rotors. A multibody analysis using linear potential flow theory is performed using WAMIT (three-dimensional diffraction/radiation potential analysis program), and a CFD analysis is performed by placing three WEC rotors in a numerical wave tank. In particular, the spacing between the three rotors is set to 0.8, 1, and 1.2 times the rotor width, and the hydrodynamic interaction between adjacent rotors is checked. Finally, it is confirmed that the dynamic performance of the rotors slightly changes, but the difference due to the spacing is not noticeable. In addition, the CFD analysis shows a lateral flow phenomenon that cannot be confirmed by linear potential theory, and it is confirmed that the CFD analysis is necessary for the motion analysis of the rotor.

This paper describes the characteristics of the unsteady pressure on the stator surface induced by rotor viscous wakes. The primary object of this study is to investigate the effects of axial spacing between the rotor and the stator and three-dimensional vane geometries such as stator sweep and stator lean on the unsteady pressure fluctuations on the stator vane. To predict these fluctuations, unsteady three-dimensional Navier-Stokes analyses are performed. Furthermore, a three-dimensional analytical method using unsteady lifting-surface theory is also used to elucidate the mechanism of interaction of passing rotor wakes with downstream stator. Five different fan configurations with three sets of stator geometries, which are three radial stator configurations with different axial spacing, the swept stator and the swept and leaned stator, are used for this study. It is found that, in axial spacing between rotor and stator, the effect of radial phase skew of incoming rotor wake is important for the reduction of the induced unsteady pressure in addition to the rotor wake decay. It is also shown that incorporation of stator sweep and lean is effective to reduce this unsteady pressure.

Helicopter noise has been considered as one of major design factors like a performance and safety since the public acceptance, comfortability and stealth aspects were important for customers. According to the airworthiness regulation, the noise levels in throe different flight conditions shall comply with the specific limits. Main and tail rotors noise is most dominant in far field due to the low and mid range frequency characteristics. It is an air-born noise so That the accurate aerodynamic data is necessary for the accurate noise prediction. In KARI, low noise main and tail rotors as well as analysis codes have been developed since 2000. The approach for low noise main rotor is a kind of tip modifications, so called twin vortices tip to reduce the BVI noise. Analysis results show the 9.3dB reduction in terms of pseudo EPNL. The uneven spacing concept is applied for low noise tail rotor. Three or four decibel noise reduction is achieved by new optimized uneven spacing. Rotor noise and aerodynamic prediction codes have been improved also.

Flow through turbomachinery has a very complex structure and is intrinsically unsteady. Especially, recent design trend to turbomachinery with short axial spacing makes the flow extremely complex due to the interaction between stator and rotor. Therefore, it is very necessary to clearly understand the complex flow structure to obtain the high efficiency turbomachinery. So, in this paper, the effects of axial spacing on the unsteady secondary flow performance in the one stage turbine are investigated by three-dimensional unsteady flow analysis. The three-dimensional solver is parallelized using domain decomposition and Message Passing Interface(MPI) standard to overcome the limitation of memory and the CPU time in three-dimensional unsteady calculation. A sliding mesh interface approach has been implemented to exchange flow information between blade rows.

A loosely coupling method is adopted to combine a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver and the comprehensive structural dynamics (CSD) code, CAMRAD II, in a systematic manner to correlate the airloads, vortex trajectories, blade motions, and structural loads of the HART I rotor in descending flight condition. A three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes solver, KFLOW, using chimera overlapped grids has been used to simulate unsteady flow phenomena over helicopter rotor blades. The number of grids used in the CFD computation is about 24 million for the isolated rotor and about 37.6 million for the rotor-fuselage configuration while keeping the background grid spacing identical as 10% blade chord length. The prediction of blade airloads is compared with the experimental data. The current method predicts reasonably well the BVI phenomena of blade airloads. The vortices generated from the fuselage have an influence on airloads in the 1st and 4th quadrants of rotor disk. It appeared that presence of the pylon cylinder resulted in complex turbulent flow field behind the hub center.

본 연구에서는 회전익기 통합해석 코드인 CAMRAD II를 이용하여 동축 동회전 로터(적층 로터)의 모델링과 제자리 비행 성능해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 주요 설계 변수인 방위각 위상차와 상/하단 로터 사이의 간격을 적절히 고려하여 동축 동회전 로터를 모델링하였으며, 기존 동축 반전 로터의 상단 로터의 토크 값을 동축 동회전 로터의 트림 목표 값으로 이용한 트림 기법 및 동축 반전 로터의 전체 추력 값을 트림 목표 값으로 이용한 트림 기법에서 제자리 비행 성능해석을 각각 수행하였다. 토크 트림 기법을 이용하였을 시 전체 로터의 추력은 -10°의 방위각 위상차에서 1.84% 최대화되었고, 추력 트림 기법을 적용하였을 때에는 전체 로터의 동력은 20°의 방위각 위상차에서 4.53%만큼 최소화되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 전기동력 수직 이착륙기에서 활용될 수 있는 동축 동회전 로터의 제자리 비행 성능이 방위각 위상차의 값에 따라 변화될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the general frequency expression for a rotating shaft of uniform cross section, supported by two bearings, and carrying flywheel at the free end. The bearing spacing and the ratio of the weight of flywheel to the total distributed weight are used as parameters. The data have thus been reduced to dimensionless form so that the results are generally applicable for this type of rotor. Frequencies for the first three modes of vibration are determined. Experimental investigation with rotor/flywheel model confirmed the critical speed frequencies lie between analytical models with simply supported-simply supported boundary conditions and spring supported-spring supported boundary conditions.

본 논문에서는 제자리 비행하는 동축반전 로터의 설계 파라미터인 상하부 로터의 축 간격에 따른 공력 특성 및 공력소음 특성에 관해 전산유체해석을 통해 분석하였다. Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes 방정식을 사용하여 공력 해석을 진행하였으며 공력소음 해석 시에 Ffowcs Williams ans Hawkings 방정식을 사용하여 공력 특성 및 공력소음 특성을 비교하였다. 동축반전 로터는 회전에 의해 상하부 로터가 다른 각도를 가지며, 위상이 주기적으로 변하는 비정상 특성을 가진다. 상하부 로터의 간격이 증가함에 따라 유동 상호간섭이 감소하여 추력 및 토크의 공기역학적인 효율이 증가함을 확인하였다. 공력소음 관점에서 회전 평면 방향으로 방사하는 소음 특성은 축 간격에 의한 영향이 미미하게 나타났다. 로터 수직 아래 방향으로 주파수가 증가함에 따라 음압이 감쇄하지 않고 크기가 유지되어 전체 음압 수준을 증가시킨다. 동축반전 로터의 축 간격이 증가함에 따라 유동의 비정상 특성이 감소하여 전체 음압 수준이 크게 감소함을 확인하였다.
