  • 본 연구에서는 소형민수헬기(Light Civil Helicopter, LCH)의 풍동시험에 필요한 축소 로터 블레이드에 대해 내부 구조설계와 동특성 및 하중해석을 수행하였다. 축소로터 풍동시험은 로터 시스템의 공력성능과 소음 특성을 평가하기 위해 수행되므로, 실제 크기의 로터시스템과 동일한 공력 특성을 모사할 수 있도록 축소 블레이드 설계 시 마하 스케일(Mach-scale) 기법을 적용하였다. 마하 스케일 블레이드는 실물 블레이드의 끝단속도(blade tip speed)와 동일한 값을 유지할 수 있도록 로터의 회전속도를 증가시켜야 하며, 블레이드 중량, 단면강성 및 고유진동수 등은 특정한 축소계수(${\lambda}$, scaling factor)를 통해 조정된다. 블레이드 내부의 주요 구성품인 스킨, 스파, 토션박스 등을 설계하기 위해 탄소섬유와 유리섬유 계열의 복합소재를 적용하였으며, 국내에서 수급이 가능한 프리프레그(prepreg) 형태의 복합소재를 적용하였다. 내부구조 설계가 완료된 블레이드에 대해 단면강성을 평가하기 위해 KSec2D 프로그램을 사용하였으며, 회전익 항공기의 통합해석 프로그램인 CAMRADII를 이용하여 축소 블레이드의 하중 분포와 동역학적 특성을 검토하였다.

  • Investigations on simulated near-surface atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in an open-jet facility are carried out by conducting experimental tests on small-scale models of low-rise buildings. The objectives of the current study are: (1) to determine the optimal location of test buildings from the exit of the open-jet facility, and (2) to investigate the scale effect on the aerodynamic pressure characteristics. Based on the results, the newly built open-jet facility is well capable of producing mean wind speed and turbulence profiles representing open-terrain conditions. The results show that the proximity of the test model to the open-jet governs the length of the separation bubble as well as the peak roof pressures. However, test models placed at a horizontal distance of 2.5H (H is height of the wind field) from the exit of the open-jet, with a width that is half the width of the wind field and a length of 1H, have consistent mean and peak pressure coefficients when compared with available results from wind tunnel testing. In addition, testing models with as large as 16% blockage ratio is feasible within the open-jet facility. This reveals the importance of open-jet facilities as a robust tool to alleviate the scale restrictions involved in physical investigations of flow pattern around civil engineering structures. The results and findings of this study are useful for putting forward recommendations and guidelines for testing protocols at open-jet facilities, eventually helping the progress of enhanced standard provisions on the design of low-rise buildings for wind.

  • 결빙 관련 풍동 시험은 과냉각된 액적과 모델의 상사성을 고려하여 실제 크기 모델에 대해 풍동 시험이 이루어져야 하나 풍동 시험장의 공간적 제한으로 전기체에 대한 항공기 결빙은 제한적 혹은 항공기 구성품 단위별로 풍동 시험이 수행된다. 제한된 공간의 결빙 풍동 시험장에서 전기체 형상과 유사한 축적율과 결빙 영역을 조사하기 위해 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 실제 크기의 익형에 대해 Truncated Flapped 개념을 적용하였다. Flap의 변위각에 따른 압력 분포와 축적율의 경향성을 실제 크기의 익형과 Truncated Flapped 익형을 비교한 결과 정량적, 정성적으로 매우 유사한 경향을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

  • Wind load and flow field of a drillship with respect to various super structures were experimentally investigated in KARI 1m-wide wind tunnel with an atmospheric boundary layer simulation. Six-component external balance and Particle image velocimetry technique were used to measure wind load and velocity vectors in the flow-field around the model respectively. The experimental model was an imaginary shaped drillship with an approximated model which has 1/640 scale compared with recent typical drillships. The test Reynolds number based on the overall length was about 1.5×106. It was found that dominant factors influencing on ship wind load are cabin shape and cabin height. Round cabin has smaller axial wind load and narrow boundary layer around the ship than rectangular one, but its yawing moment at certain angles becomes higher. Low cabin height also show positive effects on axial wind load too. Hull shape and forecastle shape show relatively small influences on wind loads except for slight changes around ±45° wind directions.

  • Hyperbolic thin-shell cooling towers have complicated vibration modes, and are very sensitive to the effects of group towers and wind-induced vibrations. Traditional aero-elastic models of cooling towers are usually designed based on the method of stiffness simulation by continuous medium thin shell materials. However, the method has some shortages in actual engineering applications, so the so-called "equivalent beam-net design method" of aero-elastic models of cooling towers is proposed in the paper and an aero-elastic model with a proportion of 1: 200 based on the method above with integrated pressure measurements and vibration measurements has been designed and carried out in TJ-3 wind tunnel of Tongji university. According to the wind tunnel test, this paper discusses the impacts of self-excited force effect on the surface wind pressure of a large-scale cooling tower and the results show that the impact of self-excited force on the distribution characteristics of average surface wind pressure is very small, but the impact on the form of distribution and numerical value of fluctuating wind pressure is relatively large. Combing with the Complete Quadratic Combination method (hereafter referred to as CQC method), the paper further studies the numerical sizes and distribution characteristics of background components, resonant components, cross-term components and total fluctuating wind-induced vibration responses of some typical nodes which indicate that the resonance response is dominant in the fluctuating wind-induced vibration response and cross-term components are not negligible for wind-induced vibration responses of super-large cooling towers.

  • This paper presents the procedure of drag prediction for EAV-1, based on a numerical analysis correlated to an in-flight test. EAV-1, developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, is a small-sized UAV to test a hydrogen-fuel cell power system. The long-endurance test flight of 4.5 hours provides numerous in-flight data. The thrust and drag of EAV-1 during the flight test are estimated based on the wind-tunnel test results for EAV-1's propeller performance. In addition, the CFD analysis using a commercial Navier-Stokes code is carried out for the full-scale EAV-1. The computational result suggests that the initial CFD analysis substantially under-predicts the in-flight drag in that the discrepancy is up to 27.6%. Therefore, additional investigation for more accurate drag prediction is performed; the effect of propeller slipstream is included in the CFD analysis through "fan disk" modelling. Also, the additional drag from airplane trim and load factor that actually exists during the flight test in a circular path is considered. These supplemental analyses for drag prediction turn out to be effective since the drag discrepancy reduces to 2.3%.

  • Recently, KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has been developing a modern 11.5m diameter four bladed bearingless main rotor system, and this rotor system can be used for 7,000lb class helicopter. Flexbeam and torque tube can be considered as the key structural components, and large elastic twist of flexbeam induced by pitch control motion of torque tube can influence the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior. In this paper, the dynamic characteristic analysis results of bearingless rotor system were presented. In order to construct a input model and validate the analysis procedures, calculated results using the comprehensive helicopter analysis program CAMRAD II were compared with the measured natural frequencies and lag damping data from small-scale wind tunnel test. Next, the analysis model was extended to a full-scale model, and the dynamic analysis results were presented.

  • The new and renewable energy today has a great interest in all countries around the world. In special it has need more limit of the fossil fuel that needs of low carbon emission among the social necessary conditions. Recently, the high-rise building demand the structural safety, the economic feasibility and the functional design. The high-rise building spends enormous energy and it satisfied the design in solving energy requirements. The requirements of energy for the building depends on the partly form wind energy due to the cladding of the building that came from the surroundings of the high-rise building. In this study of the wind energy, the cladding of the building was assessed a tentative study. The wind energy obtains from several small wind powers that came from the building or the surrounding of the building. In making a cladding the wind energy forms with wind pressure by means of energy transformation methods. The assessment for the building cladding was surrounded of wind speed and wind pressure that was carried out as a result of numerical simulation of wind environment and wind pressure which is coefficient around the high-rise building with the computational fluid dynamics. In case of the obtained wind energy from the pressure of the building cladding was estimated by the simulation of CFD of the building. The wind energy at this case was calculated by energy transform methods: the wind pressure coefficients were obtained from the simulated model for wind environment using CFD as follow. The concept for the factor of $E_f$ was suggested in this study. $$C_p=\frac{P_{surface}}{0.5{\rho}V^{2ref}}$$ $$E_c=C_p{\cdot}E_f$$ Where $C_p$ is wind pressure coefficient from CFD, $E_f$ means energy transformation parameter from the principle of the conservation of energy and $E_c$ means energy from the building cladding. The other wind energy that is $E_p$ was assessed by wind power on the building or building surroundings. In this case the small wind power system was carried out for wind energy on the place with the building and it was simulated by computational fluid dynamics. Therefore the total wind energy in the building was calculated as the follows. $$E=E_c+E_p$$ The energy transformation, which is $E_f$ will need more research and estimation for various wind situation of the building. It is necessary for the assessment to make a comparative study about the wind tunnel test or full scale test.

  • 소형무인기의 틸팅방식 추진장치로 소형덕티드팬을 적용하였을 때 나타나는 공력특성을 분석하기 위해 직경 104mm 전기추진 덕티드팬의 공력특성을 풍동시험을 통해 살펴보았다. 소형무인기 운영조건에서 나타나는 현상을 살펴보기 위해 OPPAV 축소시제기의 제자리비행, 전진비행 및 천이비행 조건을 시험조건으로 채택하였으며, 6분력 발란스를 사용하여 덕티드팬의 추력 및 측력, 토크를 측정하였다. 비행체 주날개 및 꼬리날개에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 팬 후류를 파악하기 위해 5공 프로브를 사용하여 덕트 후방 250mm 단면의 3차원 속도벡터를 측정하였다. 제자리비행 및 전진비행 조건에서 덕티드팬의 추력 및 토크 특성을 파악하였으며, OPPAV 축소시제기에 적용하기 위한 조건을 도출하였다. 천이비행 조건에서 틸트각 40° 이하에서는 각도가 변하여도 추력이 유지되는 특성을 보이고 있으며 그 이후 각에서는 점차 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 측력은 틸트각 75°까지 지속적으로 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 제자리비행 및 전진비행 조건에서 60m/s 수준의 축방향 속도성분과 12m/s 수준의 원주방향 속도성분이 측정되었다. 틸트각이 증가함에 따라 축방향 속도 최대값 위치가 회전중심선을 벗어나는 경향이 나타나고 있으며, 단면 와류 중심도 유사한 위치로 이동하는 경향이 나타나고 있다.
