Two dimensional turbulent flow simulations on the low Mach number - high Reynolds number flow about the NACA 4412 airfoil are carried out as the airfoil approaches a ground. It has turned out that angle of attack between 2 and 8 degrees is recommended for the airfoil to utilize the benefit of ground effect. For the large angle of attack, the increment of lift due to the ground effect is faded away and negative aerodynamic effect such as destabilizing aspect in static longitudinal stability occurs and the separation point moves to forward as the airfoil approaches a ground.

초음속 항공기를 설계하는데 있어서 일반적인 항공기와는 다른 성능이 요구되는데 그것은 바로 초음속에 의한 충격파가 발생시키는 추가적인 항력을 감소시키는 일이다. 날개의 Airfoil 형상을 결정하기 위해서는 공력 특성을 파악해야 하는데, 이를 알아보는 데 있어서 EDISON_CFD를 사용하였다. 충격파의 생성을 지연시키는 Supercritical Airfoil의 여러 형상에 필요한 격자를 생성하여 비점성, 압축성 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 비교에 필요한 다섯 개의 NASA Supercritical Airfoil을 선정하여, 아음속과 초음속으로 나누어 받음각에 따른 양력계수와 항력계수를 도출하고, 이를 토대로 양항비를 추정해 보았다. 추려진 것 중 가장 우수한 공력성능을 보이는 airfoil을 선정하였는데 그 결과 NASA SC-0403 airfoil의 공력 성능이 가장 뛰어나 그것을 선정하기로 하였고, 또한 2차원 공력 해석에서 얻은 양력계수를 면적에 대하여 적분하여 날개에서의 양력과 항력을 추정하였다.

As a first step for aerodynamic analysis of vertical axis wind turbine, dynamic stall characteristics of airfoil was investigated. Dynamic stall of wind turbine airfoil is caused by severe variation of angle of attack and relative velocity of flow around airfoil. Angle of attack and relative velocity can be expressed with tip speed ratio. Variation of angle of attack is strongly dependent on the tip speed ratio. For tip speed ratio, 1.4 and free stream velocity, 15m/s, dynamic stall characteristics of wind turbine airfoil is compared with those of oscillating airfoil having same angle of attack variation.

The mathematical implementation for inverse airfoil design of wind turbines is presented using vortex panel method based on assumptions of the two-dimensional incompressible potential flow. The vortex panel method employs linear distribution of the vortex strength to obtain the well converged solution. Stream function is adopted to get the basic formula for the inverse airfoil design, and a symmetric seed airfoil is given for initial data of the iteration approach. The final airfoil shape has been compared with the original airfoil shape for validation of the mathematical procedure.

본 연구는 turbine compressor airfoil의 측정 및 검사 업무에서 edge(leading edge/trailing edge) 부위에서 자주 발생하는 프로브 slip현상으로 인한 측정 오차를 최소화하기 위하여 터빈 압축기의 airfoil 형상 규격에 대하여 살펴보고, 균일 샘플링방법을 이용하여 최소제곱법으로 보상하여 최적의 형상을 구하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 기업에서는 airfoil형상의 edge부위를 검사할 때 leading edge부위의 타원 형상과 trailing edge부위의 원 형상을 AutoCAD상에서 임의로 그려서 규격을 검사하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 edge부위에서 발생하는 측정오차를 최소화하기 위하여 보다 정확하고 체계적인 fitting 방법을 도입함으로써, airfoil의 형상치수에 관한 규격검사 업무의 신뢰성과 효율을 향상시키고자 한다.

The flow field around a symmetrical airfoil in a uniform flow under the generation of noise was studied by experiments and numerical simulation. The experiments are conducted by visualizing the surface flow over the airfoil with a shear-sensitive liquid-crystal coating and by measuring the instantaneous velocity field around the trailing edge of the airfoil. The numerical simulation was carried out by LES. (omitted)

In this study, the real-coded adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm code, which represents the global multi-objective optimization algorithm, was developed for an airfoil shape design. In order to achieve the better aerodynamic characteristics than reference airfoil at landing and cruise conditions, maximum lift coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio were chosen as object functions. Futhermore, the PARSEC method reflecting geometrical properties of airfoil was adopted to generate airfoil shapes. Finally, two airfoils, which show better aerodynamic characteristics than a reference airfoil, were chosen. As a result, maximum lift coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio were increased of 4.89% and 5.38% for first candidate airfoil and 7.13% and 4.33% for second candidate airfoil.

Hot-wire measurements are performed in boundary layers developing on a NACA0012 airfoil over which wakes pass periodically. The Reynolds number based on chord length of the airfoil is 2$\times$10(sup)5 and the wakes are generated by circular cylinders rotating clockwise and counterclockwise around the airfoil. This paper and its companion Part II describe the phenomena of wake-induced transition of the boundary layers on the airfoil using measured data; phase-and time-averaged streamwise mean velocities, turbulent fluctuations, integral parameters and wall skin frictions. This paper describes the background and facility together with results of time-averaged quantities. Due to the passing wake with mean velocity defects and high turbulence intensities, the laminar boundary layer is periodically disturbed at the upstream station and becomes steady-state transitional boundary layer at the downstream station. The velocity defect in the passing wake changes the local pressure at the leading of the airfoil, significantly affects the time-mean pressure distribution on the airfoil and eventually, has influence on the transition process of the boundary layer.

The low speed aerodynamic characteristics of modified sonic arc airfoil which is developed to fit the transonic regime are investigated. This airfoil is designed by using the shape function of sonic arc proposed by Schwendenman, the data of NACA0012, and commercial program Maple. In order to investigate the low speed aerodynamic characteristic of sonic arc airfoil, the numerical analysis is conducted below Mach number 0.3 and the results are compared and analyzed with it of NACA0012 airfoil. At each Mach number, the drag of modified sonic arc airfoil is less 1.5% than NACA0012's drag and the lift of modified sonic arc airfoil is less 2% than NACA0012's lift. The moment coefficient of modified sonic arc airfoil is also less 1.4% than it of NACA0012 at each Mach number.
