풍력발전용 회전날개의 공력성능과 시동특성은 정격출력 및 운용방법 등의 전체적인 시스템 성능을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. 따라서, 풍력발전용 회전날개를 설계한 경우 공력성능과 풍속 및 깃각에 따른 시동특성은 반드시 검토되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 수평축 풍력발전용으로 개발된 회전날개의 공력성능을 해석하기 위한 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 타당성 검증을 위해 상용화 되어있는 회전날개의 공력성능해석을 수행한 결과 회사측에서 제시한 실험치와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한 개발된 공력 해석 프로그램을 바탕으로 시동특성 해석 프로그램을 개발하여 분석한 결과 우리나라와 같이 저풍속에서 운용되는 풍력발전기에는 가변깃각 제어방식이 유리함을 확인하였다.

The high pressure turbopump carries out supplying the oxidizer in the liquid propulsion rocket in the combustion chamber. Because an LRE requires a very short starting time , the turbine at the turbopump experiences high torque that was produced by the high pressure and the high temperature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a turbine blade surface temperature profiles at initial starting 0 ${\sim}$ 0.5 sec. Using $Fine^{Tm}$/turbo, three dimensional Baldwin-Lomax turbulence models are used for numerically analysis. The turbine is composed of 108 blades total, but only 7 rotors were considered because of periodic symmetry effect. Because of interaction with a bow shock on the suction surface, the boundary layer separates from suction surface at inner area of turbine blade. The averaged temperature of the turbine blade tip at 1000 rpm is higher than that of 9000 rpm. Especially at 1000 ${\sim}$ 9000 rpm, temperatures increases on the hub side of the turbine blade tip. Moreover at 9000 rpm, the temperatures from the hub to the shroud of the blade tip increase as well.

Free-form blades are widely used in different industries, such as aero-engine and steam turbine. Blades that are damaged during service or have production deficiencies are usually replaced with new ones. This leads to the waste of expensive material and is not sustainable. However, material and costs can be saved by repairing of locally damaged blades or blades with localized production deficiencies. The blade needs to be further machined after welding process to reach the aerodynamic performance requirements. This paper outlines an adaptive location approach of repaired blade for model reconstruction and NC machining. Firstly, a mathematical model is established to describe the localization problem under constraints. Secondly, by solving the mathematical model, localization of repaired blade for NC machining can be obtained. Furthermore, a more flexible method based on the proposed mathematical model and the continuity of the deformation process is developed to realize a better localization. Thirdly, by rebuilding the model of the repaired blade and extracting repair error, optimized tool paths for NC machining is generated adaptively for each individual part. Finally, three examples are given to validate the proposed method.

An experimental analysis using three-dimensional laser Doppler velocimetry(LDV) measurement and computational analysis using the Reynolds stress model in FLUENT are conducted to give a clear understanding of the effect of blade loading on the structure of tip leakage flow in a forward-swept axial-flow fan operating at the maximum efficiency condition ($\Phi$=0.25) and two off-design conditions ($\Phi$=0.21 and 0.30). As the blade loading increases, the onset position of the rolling-up of tip leakage flow moves upstream and the trajectory of tip leakage vortex center is more inclined toward the circumferential direction. Because the casing boundary layer becomes thicker and the mixing between the through-flow and the leakage jet with the different flow direction is enforced, the streamwise vorticity decays more fast with the blade loading increasing. A distinct tip leakage vortex is observed downstream of the blade trailing edge at $\Phi$=0.30, but it is not observed at $\Phi$=0.21 and 0.25.

A corona motor, as one of a powerful cooling means of microelectronic devices, has been employed because of its very simple structure of no coils and no brushes. In this paper, the effect of polarity of applied voltage and the number of blade corona electrodes on the fundamental properties of rotation of the motor was investigated. The I-V and rotation characteristics of the blade corona electrode were significantly different from the different polarities of applied voltages and the blade corona electrode numbers, due to the different space charge effect resulted by the different migration mobility of the positive and negative ions generated near the blade corona electrode tip of the rotor of the motor. The rotation speed of the motor was influenced significantly by the polarity of corona discharge, the number of blades, and mass of rotor. At the same corona current, an effective rotation can be obtained with the positive corona caused by the lower ion mobility. On the other hand, the higher rotation speed can be obtained with the negative corona resulted from its higher corona current. The highest rotation speed and energy efficiency can be obtained with the rotor having 4 blades.

A significant change in aerodynamic characteristics of wind turbine blade can occur by ice formed on the surface of the blade operated in cold climate. The ice accretion can result in performance loss, overloading due to delayed stall, and excessive vibration associated with mass imbalance. In this study, the impact of ice accretion on the aerodynamic characteristics of NREL 5MW wind turbine blade sections is examined by a CFD-based method. It is shown that the thickness of ice accretion increases from the root to the tip and the effects of icing conditions such as relative wind velocity play a significant role in the shape of ice accretion. In addition, the computational results are used to assess the degradation in the lift and drag coefficients of the blade sections.

The one way fluid structure interaction analysis on advanced propeller blade for next generation turboprop aircraft. HS1 airfoil series are selected as a advanced propeller blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point. Blade sweep is designed based on the design mach number and target propulsion efficiency. The aerodynamic characteristics of the designed Advanced propeller were verified by CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) and showed the enhanced performance than the conventional propeller. The skin-foam sandwich structural type is adopted for blade. The high stiffness, strength carbon/epoxy composite material is used for the skin and PMI(Polymethacrylimide) is used for the foam. Aerodynamic load is calculated by computational fluid dynamics. Linear static stress analysis is performed by finite element analysis code MSC.NASTRAN in order to investigate the structural safety. The result of structural analysis showed that the design has sufficient structural safety. It was concluded that structural safety assessment should incorporate the off-design points.

Seoul National University Flap (SNUF) blade is a small-scaled rotor blade incorporating a small trailing-edge flap control surface driven by piezoelectric actuators at higher harmonics for vibration attenuation. Initially, the blade was designed using two-dimensional cross-section analysis and a geometrically exact one-dimensional beam analysis, and material configuration was finalized. Flap deflection angle of ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ was established as the criterion for better vibration reduction performance based on an earlier simulation. Flap linkage mechanism design is carried out and static bench tests are conducted to verify the flap actuation mechanism performance. Different versions of test beds are developed and tested with the flap and chosen APA 200M piezoelectric actuators. Through significant improvements, a maximum deflection of ${\pm}3.7^{\circ}$ was achieved. High frequency experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance and transfer function of the test bed is determined experimentally. As the static tests are almost completed, rotor power required for testing the blade in whirl tower (centrifugal environment) is calculated and further preparations are under way.

This paper describes a new design of small-scale horizontal wind blade, called spiral wind turbine blade. Theoretical and numerical approaches on the prediction of aerodynamic performance of the blade have been conducted. A theoretical equation is successfully derived using the angular momentum equation to predict aerodynamic characteristics according to the design shape parameters of spiral blade. To be compared with the theoretical value, a numerical simulation using ANSYS CFX v12.1 is performed on the same design with the theoretical one. Large scale tip vortex is captured and graphically presented in this paper. The TSR-$C_p$ diagram shows a typical parabolic relation in which the maximum efficiency of the blade approximately 25% exists at TSR=2.5. The numerical simulation agrees well with that of the theoretical result except at the low rotational speed region of 0~20 rad/s.

The performance of a vertical type centrifugal distributor of granular materials was studied by means of mathematical models and experimental investigations. To develop the mathematical description of particle motion, some assumptions were made. The distribution process consisted of three stages: the entrance of a particle to the blade, the motion of the particle on the blade, and the motion of the particle in the air. The physical properties of fertilizer, which affected the particle motion, were investigated: bluk density, coefficient of friction, coefficient of restitution, and particle size distribution. The particle motion were simulated by using a computer. A prototype distributor was designed and constructed for experimental tests. The following conclusions were drawn from the computer simulation and experiment results. 1. The fertilizer may slide or roll at the point of contact when they impact on the blade and move along the blade. 2. The interaction among fertilizers may prevent them from bouncing. 3. When fertilizers roll on the blade, rolling resistance is one of the factors affecting the particle's motion. 4. The trajectory angle and position of fertilizers from a disc depend on the blade position and particle shape, but the rotating speed of the disc affected them only slightly.
