A popular modern architectural form for tall buildings is two (or more) towers which are structurally linked through such features as a shared podium or sky-bridges. The fundamental features of the wind loading and the structural links of such buildings can be studied by measuring load components on the individual unlinked towers along with their correlations. This paper describes application of dual high frequency force balance (DHFFB) in a wind tunnel study of the base wind loading exerted on generic tall twin buildings in close proximity. Light models of two identical generic tall buildings of square plan were mounted on DHFFB and the base wind loading exerted on the buildings was simultaneously acquired. The effects of the relative positions of the buildings on the correlations and coherences involving loading components on each building and on the two buildings were investigated. For some relative positions, the effects of the building proximity on the wind loading were significant and the loading was markedly different from that exerted on single buildings. In addition, the correlations between the loadings on the two buildings were high. These effects have potential to significantly impact, for example, the modally-coupled resonant responses of the buildings to the aerodynamic excitations. The presented results were not meant to be recommended for direct application in wind resistant design of tall twin buildings. They were intended to show that wind loading on tall buildings in close proximity is significantly different from that on single buildings and that it can be conveniently mapped using DHFFB.

Tall buildings are often subjected to steady and unsteady forces due to external wind flows. Measurement and mitigation of these forces becomes critical to structural design in engineering applications. Over the last few decades, many approaches such as modification of the external geometry of structures have been investigated to mitigate wind-induced load. One such proven geometric modification involved the rounding of sharp corners. In this work, we systematically analyze the impact of rounded corner radii on the reducing the flow-induced loading on a square cylinder. We perform 3-Dimensional (3D) simulations for high Reynolds number flows (Re=1 × 105) which are more likely to be encountered in practical applications. An Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) method capable of capturing flow accurately at large Reynolds numbers is employed in this study. The IDDES formulation uses a k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) model for near-wall modelling that prevents mesh-induced separation of the boundary layer. The effects of these corner modifications are analyzed in terms of the resulting variations in the mean and fluctuating components of the aerodynamic forces compared to a square cylinder with no geometric changes. Plots of the angular distribution of the mean and fluctuating coefficient of pressure along the square cylinder's surface illustrate the effects of corner modifications on the different parts of the cylinder. The windward corner's separation angle was observed to decrease with an increase in radius, resulting in a narrower and longer recirculation region. Furthermore, with an increase in radius, a reduction in the fluctuating lift, mean drag, and fluctuating drag coefficients has been observed.

능동 탭은 BVI 소음 저감을 위한 능동제어 기술 중 하나이며, 이를 이용한 소음 저감효과에 대한 해석은 기술 개발에 있어서 매우 중요한 과정의 하나이다. 능동 탭의 소음저감 성능 분석을 위하여 모델 로터시스템에 대한 구조 설계를 수행하고 CFD 해석을 통해 에어포일 공력 데이터를 생성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 통합해석 프로그램인 CAMRAD II 모델을 구성하였다. 하강 비행 상태에서 능동 탭을 HHC 방법으로 작동할 경우 로터에서 발생되는 공력 하중을 CAMRAD II를 이용하여 계산하고, 이에 따른 BVI 소음 변화를 자체 소음해석 프로그램으로 계산하였다. 능동 탭의 작동 길이 및 제어 위상의 변화에 따른 소음해석 결과 최대 -3.3dB의 BVI 소음 저감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

인간동력항공기의 날개는 고세장비의 형상을 가지고 있어 큰 굽힘변위가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 고세장비 형상의 날개가 가지는 구조적인 한계를 붙임각을 변경함으로써 개선하고자 하였다. 날개의 익형 및 단면형상을 고정시킨 후 동일 수준의 양력 발생을 만족시킨다는 전제하에 붙임각의 변경에 따른 날개 끝단의 굽힘변위 변화 경향을 관측하였다. 이를 위해 유한날개의 양력, 항력, 모멘트 하중을 날개의 각 섹션에 분포시켰다. 그리고 EDISON의 "geometrically exact beam (GEB)" 프로그램과 "Variational Asymptotic Beam Sectional Analysis (VABS)" 단면해석 프로그램을 사용하여 변경된 설계안의 구조 안전도를 평가하였다. 또한, 다물체 동역학 해석 프로그램 DYMORE를 이용하여 본 논문에서 예측한 날개의 끝단 변위 예측값을 비교 검증하였다.

항공기는 운용 중에 엔진, 유압펌프, 공력 등에 의한 진동 환경에 노출이 되어 기계구조와 각종 구성품이 고주기 피로로 인해 균열이나 파괴가 될 수 있다. 통상적으로 항공기용 유압 펌프는 액셜 피스톤 타입이 주로 적용되고 있으며, 펌프의 특성상 연속적인 회전에 의한 유량 맥동 발생은 필연적으로 수반된다. 이러한 유압펌프 맥동에 의한 진동을 감소시키기 위해 설치된 Dampener Fitting의 용접 부위에서 균열이 발생하였다. 용접 부위 균열의 원인 파악을 위해 파단면 분석 및 성분분석을 수행하였고, 균열 방지를 위한 설계 개선사항으로 일체형 Fitting 가공 방식을 적용하였다. 일체형 Fitting의 적용 타당성에 대한 설계검증을 위해 구조건전성 응력 해석, 피로수명 해석, 인증시험 및 항공기 체계 장착 시험을 수행하였다. 개선방안에 대한 해석 결과 재료의 요구수명 및 각종 시험의 요구조건에 만족하는 결과를 얻었으며, 개선방안을 운영 항공기에 적용 할 수 있는 것을 객관적으로 검증하였다.

In Korea, 69.4 % of duck farms had utilized conventional plastic greenhouses. In this facilities, there are difficulties in controlling indoor environments for raising duck. High rearing density in duct farms also made the environmental control difficult resulting in getting more stressed making their immune system weaker. Therefore, a facility is needed to having structurally enough solidity and high efficiency on the environmental control. So, new design plans of duck house have recently been conducted by National Institute of Animal Science in Korea. As a study in advance to establish standard, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to estimate the aerodynamic problems according to the designs by means of overall and regional ventilation efficiencies quantitatively and qualitatively. Tracer gas decay (TGD) method was used to calculate ventilation rate according to the structural characteristics of duck houses including installation of indoor circulation fan. The results showed that natural ventilation rate was averagely 164 % higher than typically designed ventilation rate, 1 AER ($min^{-1}$). Meanwhile, mechanically ventilated duck houses made 81.2 % of summer ventilation rate requirement. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new duck house considering more structural safety as well as higher efficiency of environmental control.
