PW206C 터보 축 엔진을 위해 신경회로망을 이용한 지능형 성능 진단 프로그램이 제안되었다. 이 엔진은 항공우주연구원에서 개발 중에 있는 틸트 로터 타입 스마트 무인기의 추진시스템으로 선정되었다. 스마트 무인기 추진시스템에서 계측되는 성능변수는 가스발생기 회전속도, 동력터빈 회전속도, 배기가스 온도, 토크 등 4개이다. 그러나 이러한 4개 계측변수로는 각 구성품의 손상 진단이 어려운 관계로 압축기 출구 압력 및 압축기 터빈 출구 온도를 포함한 6개의 계측변수를 진단에 이용하였다. 구성품 성능저하량을 판단하는 성능파라미터는 압축기, 압축기 터빈, 동력 터빈의 유량함수 및 효율이다. 신경망을 훈련하고 테스트하기 위한 데이터베이스는 가스터빈 성능모사 프로그램을 이용하여 구성하였다. 훈련된 신경망을 PW206C 터보 축 엔진의 진단에 적용한 결과 제안된 진단 알고리즘이 압축기 오염과 압축기 터빈의 침식과 같은 단일 손상을 탐지하는데 유용함을 확인하였다.

Gas turbines for an aircraft have the start and restart capabilities within their flight envelop. It is an important item for engine qualification and substantiated with the test. Experimental investigations were carried out to find the relation between the corrected torque and the corrected rotating speed of an air turbine starter in this study. A dedicated air supply system for the air turbine starter and a special device to measure the torque and the rotating speed of the air turbine starter were developed and installed at the altitude engine test facility in Korea Aerospace Research Institute. Experimental results show that the relations between the corrected torque and the corrected rotating speed of the air turbine starter are linear and the inlet temperature and pressure conditions for the air turbine starter were found out to provide minimum required torque for the engine qualification test at various altitude. The start and restart tests for the currently developing engine were successfully performed using this experimental results.

The rotorcraft engine gearbox transmits the power generated by the turboshaft engine to the rotor by reducing the rotational speed and increasing the torque. The core of the rotorcraft engine gearbox is lightweight performance, which requires maximum weight reduction within the range that meets various requirements and constraints. Therefore, lightweight design through gear macro geometry optimization is necessary. In this study, gear macro geometry optimization was performed to reduce the weight of a rotorcraft engine gearbox. NSGA-III was used for the optimization, resulting in a combination of the gear ratio and macro geometry that minimizes the weight of the total gear. In addition, the safety factor of the gears satisfied the given conditions.

Regarding to the project SUAV (Smart Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute), several engine configurations has been evaluated. However it's not an easy task to collect all the necessary data of each engine for the analysis. Usually, some kind of modeling technique is required in order to determine the unknown data. In the present paper a qualitative method for reverse engineering is proposed, in order to identify some design patterns and relationships between parameters. The method can be used to estimate several parameters that usually are not provided by the manufacturer. The method consists of modeling an existing engine and through a simulation, compare its transient behavior with its operating envelope. In the simulation several parameters such as thermodynamics, performance, safety and mechanics concerning to the definition of operation-envelope, have been discussed qualitatively. With the model, all engine parameters can be estimated with acceptable accuracy, making possible the study of dependencies among different parameters such as power-turbine total inertia, TIT, take-off time and part load, in order to check if the engine transient performance is within the design criteria. For more realistic approach and more detailed design requirements, it will be necessary to enhance the compressor map first, and more realistic estimated values must be taken into account for intake-loss, bleed-air and auxiliary power extraction. The relative importance of these “unknown” parameters must be evaluated using sensitivity analysis in the future evaluation. Moreover, fluid dynamics, thermal analysis and stress analysis necessary for the resulting life assessment of en engine, will not be addressed here but in a future paper. With the methodology presented in the paper was possible to infer the relationships between operation-envelope and engine parameters.

다목적으로 활용할 수 있는 분리축방식의 터보축 엔진 개발을 위한 정상상태 해석 프로그램의 개발과 함께 동일한 형식의 가스터빈엔진 시험장치를 이용한 실험을 통해 프로그램의 해석결과와 비교, 그 타당성을 입증하였다. 실험에 이용된 시험장치는 1단 원심형 압축기, 인통형 연소기, 1단 원심형 압축기 터어빈 및 동력 터어빈으로 구성되어 있으며 출력은 3상 교류발전기를 통해 획득된다. 해석에 사용된 주요 구성품의 성능곡선은 시험장치 제작자로부터 획득된 자료를 이용하였으며, 경우에 따라 시험장치를 이용한 실험을 통하여 보정하였다. 시험장치를 이용한 실험결과를 프로그램 해석결과와 비교한 결과, 시험장치의 운용제한에 의해 실제 작동영역이 제한되기는 했으나, 압력비, 출력 등 주요 변수들에서 6％ 미만의 오차를 보였다.

The performance of a centrifugal compressor composed of an impeller, tandem diffuser rows and axial guide vanes has been predicted numerically and compared with available experimental results on its design rotational speed. The pitchwise-averaged mixing plane method was employed for the boundaries between rotor and stator to obtain steady state solutions. The overall characteristics showed differently according to the relative positions of tandem diffuser rows while the characteristics of impeller showed almost identical. The numerical results agree with the measured data in respect of their tendency. It turned out that 0% of relative positions is the worst case in terms of static pressure recovery and efficiency. According to the experimental results, some pressure fluctuations and malfunction of the compressor were observed for 75% case. However, this numerical calculation using mixing plane method did not capture any of those phenomena. Thus, unsteady flow calculation should be performed to investigate the stability of the compressor caused by different diffuser configuration.

Numerical analysis of three-dimensional vicous flow is used to compute the design speed operating line of a transonic axial-flow compressor. The Navier-Stokes equation was solved by an explicit finite-difference numerical scheme and the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model was applied. A spatially-varying time-step and an implicit residual smoothing were used to improve convergence. Two-stage axial compressor of a turboshaft engine developed KARI was chosen for the analysis. Numerical results show reasonably good agreements with experimental measurements made by KARI. Numerical solutions indicate that there exist a strong shock-boundary layer interaction and a subsequent large flow separation. It is also observed that the shock is moved ahead of the blade passage at near-stall condition.

가스터빈엔진의 핵심 부품인 디스크와 블레이드는 고효율, 수명주기 동안의 운용비 최소화 등의 요구조건으로 고온의 터빈입구 온도, 고압축비, 고속 환경에서 지속적으로 운용된다. 이러한 가혹한 환경에서의 구조 안전성을 평가하기 위해서는 재료 모델링과 유한요소해석 기법 등이 필수적이며 더 나아가 형상최적화가 반드시 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 터빈 디스크의 구조 건전성을 평가하기 위해 2 차원 축 대칭 및 섹터 모델을 생성하고, 열-구조 연성해석과 접촉 해석을 포함한 유한요소 해석을 수행하고자 한다. 이를 근거로 터빈 디스크에서 구조적으로 취약한 2 개의 영역인 디스크 보어와 디스크와 블레이드의 연결 부위인 도브테일에 대해 형상변수 고찰을 하고자 한다. 최종적으로 형상변수 결과를 기초로 한 개선된 디스크 형상을 제안함과 동시에 좀 더 정교한 형상최적화가 필요함을 확인한다.

The overall characteristics showed difference according to the relative positions of tandem diffuser rows while the characteristics of impeller showed almost identical result. The numerical results agree with the measured data in respect of their tendency. It turned out that $0\%$ of relative positions is the worst case in terms of static pressure recovery and efficiency. According to the experimental results, some pressure fluctuations and malfunction of the compressor were observed for $75\%$ case. However, this numerical calculation using mixing plane method did not capture any of those phenomena. Thus, unsteady flow calculation should be performed to investigate the stability of the compressor caused by different diffuser configuration.
