Aerodynamic pressures and forces were measured on a model of a solar panel containing six slender, parallel modules. Of particular importance to system design is the aerodynamically induced torque. The peak system torque was generally observed to occur at approach wind angles near the diagonals of the panel ($45^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, $225^{\circ}$ and $315^{\circ}$) although large loads also occurred at $270^{\circ}$, where wind is in the plane of the panel, perpendicular to the individual modules. In this case, there was strong vortex shedding from the in-line modules, due to the observation that the module spacing was near the critical value for wake buffeting. The largest loads, however, occurred at a wind angle where there was limited vortex shedding ($330^{\circ}$). In this case, the bulk of the fluctuating torque came from turbulent velocity fluctuations, which acted in a quasi-steady sense, in the oncoming flow. A simple, quasi-steady, model for determining the peak system torque coefficient was developed.

Aerodynamic forces and moments have been used to control rocket propelled vehicles. If control is required at very low speed, Those systems only provide a limited capability because aerodynamic control force is proportional to the air density and low dynamic pressure. But thrust vector control(TVC) can overcome the disadvantages. TVC is the method which generates the side force and roll moment by controlling exhausted gas directly in a rocket nozzle. TVC is classified by mechanical and fluid dynamic methods. Mechanical methods can change the flow direction by several objects installed in a rocket nozzle exhaust such as tapered ramp tabs and jet vane. Fluid dynamic methods control the flight direction with the injection of secondary gaseous flows into the rocket nozzle. The tapered ramp tabs of mechanical methods are used in this paper. They installed at the rear in the rocket nozzle could be freely moved along axial and radial direction on the mounting ring to provide the mass flow rate which is injected from the rocket nozzle. In this paper, the conceptual design and the performance study on the tapered ramp tabs of the thurst vector control has been carried out using the supersonic cold flow system and shadow graph. Numerical simulation was also performed to study flow characteristics and interactions between ramp tabs. This paper provides to analyze the location of normal shock wave and distribution of surface pressure on the region enclosed by the tapered ramp tabs.

DUP (direct underside pressurization)-장치와 프로펠러가 있는 3 차원 형상의 위그선(WIG-craft) 주위의 유동특성을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 이를 통하여 위그선 주위의 공기역학 관점의 힘들과 모멘트에 대해 고찰하였다. 이 연구의 해석에 사용된 모델은 프로펠러, 동체, 날개와 동체아래의 압력실 (air chamber)을 포함한 전 영역에 대하여 수행하였다. DUP 장치는 추력의 일부를 동체 아래의 압력실에 정체시킴으로 이륙 시와 같이 낮은 속도에도 효과적으로 양력을 증가시켜 이륙 속도를 줄이는 장치이다. 이러한 DUP 장치는 동압의 증가로 인하여 항력이 증가하고 공기의 회전성분으로 인하여 추가적인 모멘트를 생성하게 된다. 위그선의 비대칭 유동에 의해 발생하는 요잉 및 롤링 모멘트가 위그선의 안정성에 미치는 영향은 매우 미미하였다.

High-volume low-speed (HVLS) fans are one category of ceiling fan installed in large enclosings such as warehouses, large barns and health clubs in order to generate comfortable air circulation. As a rotary blade, aerodynamic performance of a HVLS fan is predominantly related to its airfoil(s), and the pitch and twist angles. This paper first, investigates the effects of airfoil on the performances of three different HVLS fans with NACA 5414, 6413 and 7415 airfoils. The fans have six untwisted blades with the diameter of 6 m and rotate at 60 RPM. The blades pitch angels are $12^{\circ}$, $12^{\circ}$ and $13^{\circ}$, respectively. The results are presented in the form of the aerodynamic forces and moments, volumetric flow rate and streamlines. Regarding the volumetric flow of air, the results show that the model with NACA 7415 has the best performance. Hence, two other HVLS fans with the same airfoil but, with four and five blades are studied in order to investigate the effects of number of blades. From the point of view of air circulation still the six-bladed fan is the best one; however, the five-bladed fan is more efficient in power consumption.

In order to resolve the trimming difficulty in rotor CFD calculations, a high-efficiency and improved "delta trim method" is established to compute the blade control settings that are necessary to identify the blade motion. In this method, a simplified model which combines the blade element theory and different inflow models is employed to calculate the control settings according to the target aerodynamic forces, then it is coupled into a CFD solver with unsteady Navier-Stokes equations by the delta methodology, which makes the control settings and aerodynamics calculated and updated in the meantime at every trim cycle. Different from the previous work, the current research combines the inflow model based on prescribed wake theory. Using the method established, the control settings and aerodynamic characteristics of Helishape 7A, AH-1G and Caradonna-Tung rotors are calculated. The influence of different inflow models on trimming calculations is analyzed and the computational efficiency of the current "delta trim method" is compared with that of the "CFD-based trim method". Furthermore, for the sake of improving the calculation efficiency, a novel acceleration factor method is introduced to accelerate the trimming process. From the numerical cases, it is demonstrated that the current "delta trim method" has higher computational efficiency than "CFD-based trim method" in both hover and forward flight, and up to 70% of the amount of calculation can be saved by current "delta trim method" which turns out to be satisfactory for engineering applications. In addition, the proposed acceleration factor shows a good ability to accelerate the trim procedure, and the prescribed wake inflow model is always of better stability than other simple inflow models whether the acceleration factor is utilized in trimming calculations.

분사조건과 주위기체 압력에 따라 스월 인젝터의 분무각과 분열길이를 측정함으로써, 스월 인젝터의 분무 및 분열특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 분사조건으로 축방향 We 수(Wel)를 1554까지 주위기체 압력을 4.0MPa까지 증가시켰다. Wel과 주위기체 밀도(ρ)가 증가함에 따라 공기역학적 힘이 증가하여 원추형 액막 표면의 교란이 증가하게 되고, 따라서 분열이 빨리 일어난다. 결과에 따르면 주위기체 밀도에 따른 분무각의 변화가 분열이 일어나기 전과 후가 다르게 나타났다. 분열이전에는 분무각이 주위기체 밀도 변화에 관계없이 거의 일정하였으나, 분열이 일어나게 되면 분무각이 감소하게 된다. 또한 측정된 분열길이를 선형불안정이론과 비교해 보았는데, 액막두께의 감쇠를 고려한 수정된 이론이 측정결과와 상당히 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 스팬방향으로 곡면 상반각과 방구멍을 갖는 전통 방패연에 작용하는 공기력을 풍동실험을 통해 측정하였다. 방구멍이 없는 평판 연의 경우 ${\alpha}=35^{\circ}$에서 $C_{Lmax}$=1.2이고 실속 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 반면에 방구멍을 가진 전통 방패연에서는 ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$에서 $C_{Lmax}$=1.05를 가지지만 명백한 실속현상은 나타나지 않았으며 반경이 커짐에 따라 실속각 이후의 양력 및 항력 곡선이 완만하게 변하였다. 곡선 상반각이 커질수록 항력 곡선에 비해 양력 곡선이 차이가 커졌으며 방구멍 반경이 작을수록 상반각의 효과는 크게 나타나고 방구멍 반경이 클수록 상반각의 효과가 거의 일정하게 나타났다.

The impact of spar-nacelle-blade coupling on edgewise dynamic responses of spar-type floating wind turbines (S-FOWT) is investigated in this paper. Currently, this coupling is not considered explicitly by researchers. First of all, a coupled model of edgewise vibration of the S-FOWT considering the aerodynamic properties of the blade, variable mass and stiffness per unit length, gravity, the interactions among the blades, nacelle, spar and mooring system, the hydrodynamic effects, the restoring moment and the buoyancy force is proposed. The aerodynamic loads are combined of a steady wind (including the wind shear) and turbulence. Each blade is modeled as a cantilever beam vibrating in its fundamental mode. The mooring cables are modeled using an extended quasi-static method. The hydrodynamic effects calculated by using Morison's equation and strip theory consist of added mass, fluid inertia and viscous drag forces. The random sea state is simulated by superimposing a number of linear regular waves. The model shows that the vibration of the blades, nacelle, tower, and spar are coupled in all degrees of freedom and in all inertial, dissipative and elastic components. An uncoupled model of the S-FOWT is then formulated in which the blades and the nacelle are not coupled with the spar vibration. A 5MW S-FOWT is analyzed by using the two proposed models. In the no-wave sea, the coupling is found to contribute to spar responses only. When the wave loading is considered, the coupling is significant for the responses of both the nacelle and the spar.
