A three-dimensional computation was conducted to make a study about effects of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the total pressure loss in a low-speed axial compressor operating at the design condition ($\phi=85\%$) and near stall condition($\phi=65\%$). Differences of the tip leakage flow and hub corner-stall induced by the inlet boundary layer thickness enable the loss distribution of total pressure along the span to be altered. At design condition, total pressure losses for two different inlet boundary layers are almost alike in the core flow region but the larger loss is generated at both hub and tip when the inlet boundary layer is thin. At the near stall condition, however, total pressure loss fer the thick inlet boundary layer is found to be greater than that for the thin inlet boundary layer on most of the span except the region near hub and casing. Total pressure loss is scrutinized through three major loss categories in a subsonic axial compressor such as profile loss, tip leakage loss and endwall loss using Denton's loss model, and effects of the inlet boundary layer thickness on the loss structure are analyzed in detail.

The objective of present study is to assess the performance of the first stage compressor in a total 3-stage 5000 HP-level turbo compressor. CFD commercial code, CFX has been used to predict three-dimensional flow characteristics inside of the impeller. Shear Stress Transport (SST) model has been used to simulate turbulent flows through Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Grid dependency has been also checked to get optimal grid distribution. Numerical results have been compared with the experimental test results to elucidate performance characteristics of the present compressor. In addition, flow characteristics of the impeller only have been studied for various blade configurations. Angular offset in leading edge of the blade has been selected for the optimal blade design. Performance characteristics in region of low mass flow rate and high pressure ratio between the impeller entrance and exit have been investigated for the selection of optimal blade design. Also, flow instability such as stall phenomena has been studied and anti-stall characteristics have been checked for various blade configurations in the operational window.

The pitch and stall schemes have some problems such as, mechanical stress, tear and wear on the transmission line, noise emission and disturbance to the grid, due to a delaying factor of mechanical process. In this paper, a novel control is developed. It serves to compensate delaying of pitch or stall schemes and allows the generate power to control in fast response. The validity of the proposed control scheme is verified by experiment results with the actual 660KW wind power system model.

For Aerodynamic analysis of vehicle at altitude, 100km, the validity of governing equations based on continuum model, was reviewed. Also, as the preliminary study for the sub-orbital space plane development, a candidate geometry was suggested and computational fluid dynamic(CFD) analysis was performed for various angles of attack in subsonic and supersonic flow regimes to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics and performance. The inviscid flow analyses showed that the stall starts at angle of attack above $20^{\circ}$, the maximum drag is generated at angle of attack, $87^{\circ}$ and the maximum lift to drag ratio is about 8 in subsonic flow. In supersonic, the stall angle is about $40^{\circ}$ and the maximum drag is generated at angle of attack, $90^{\circ}$. Also, mach number distribution of re-entry vehicle was computed versus altitudes.

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The lift and the drag coefficient of S-809 airfoil were predicted via X-FOIL and also the post stall characteristics of S-809 were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the wind tunnel test results, performed by Sommers in Delft university of technology. The rated power of the testing rotor is 20kW(FIL-20) at design conditions. The experimental aerodynamic parameters and the X-FOIL data were used for the power prediction of the FIL-20 respectively. The comparison results shows good agreement in power prediction.

BEMT나 wake method와 같이 2-D 에어포일의 데이터를 성능과 하중 해석에 이용하는 기법의 경우 에어포일 데이터의 정확도는 전체 결과에 큰 영향을 미친다. 풍력 블레이드와 같은 회정익에서는 2-D 에어포일 데이터를 실험 등을 통하여 정확히 얻어서 적용 시키더라도 예측 결과는 실제값과 큰 차이를 보이는 경우가 많다. 이는 회전익의 유동 특성에 의해 발생하는 실속 지연의 효과로 인한 것이며 이것은 입력에 사용되는 에어포일 데이터에는 반영되지 않으므로 자체적인 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 현재 제시되어 있는 실속 지연 모델을 살펴보고 이를 불레이드의 성능과 하중 해석에 저용시켜 보아 그 유효성에 대하여 살펴보았다.

In this paper, we used the maximum likelihood method for 2-point aerodynamic model to determine the parameters of the ChangGong-91. Since the estimation from the flight test of real aircraft is the most reliable, we performed the flight test of ChangGong-91 to get the parameters such as velocity, height, 3 axis acceleration, 3 axis angular rate, pitch angle, angle of attack, temperature and so on. We recorded the flight test data in S-VHS tapes and stored them to personal computer using A/D(analog to digital) converter. Flight test was done in stall motion, and the acquired data was be processed with parameter identification method.

Estimated values for maximum lift coefficients of a light airplane, ChanGong-91, derived from an analytical method using a test database, a computational fluid dynamic method, a wind tunnel test, and a flight test are compared. The DATCOM method and VSAERO code are applied as the analytical method and the computational fluid dynamic method, respectively, in order to estimate the maximum lift coefficients of a light airplane. The wind tunnel test is conducted using a 1/14.5 scaled model installed in a closed circuit type wind tunnel. For the flight test approach, the wings-level power-off stall tests are performed to obtain the maximum lift coefficients. As a point of reference for the flight test results of the maximum lift coefficients, the differences of both estimates derived from the DATCOM method and the wind tunnel test data are smaller than those derived from VSAERO.

The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) was developed by use of BEMT. The Prandtl's tip loss theory was adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The aerodynamic characteristics of NACA 63415 airfoils were predicted via X-FOIL and the post stall characteristics were estimated by the Viterna's equations. All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the Velux wind tunnel test results. The rated power of the testing rotor is 5kW at design conditions. The power, estimated by use of predicted lift and drag coefficient via X-FOIL becomes a little higher than experimental one.
