The optimum design and the performance analysis software called POSEIDON for the HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) is developed by use of BEMT, which is the standard computational technique for prediction of power curves of wind turbines. The Prandtl's tip loss theory is adopted to consider the blade tip loss. The lift and the drag coefficient of S-809 airfoil are predicted via X-FOIL and the post stall characteristics of S-809 also are estimated by the Viterna's equations.$^{[13]}$ All the predicted aerodynamic characteristics are fairly well agreed with the wind tunnel test results. performed by Sommers in Delft university of technology. The rated power of the testing rotor is 20kW(FIL-20) at design conditions. The experimental aerodynamic parameters and the X-FOIL data are used for the power Prediction of the FIL-20 respectively The comparison results shows good agreement in power prediction.

Flow through a scaled horizontal axis marine current turbine was numerically simulated after validation and the turbine design was optimized. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code Ansys-CFX 16.1 for numerical modeling, an in-house blade element momentum (BEM) code for analytical modeling and an in-house surrogate-based optimization (SBO) code were used to find an optimal turbine design. The blade-pitch angle (${\theta}$) and the number of rotor blades (NR) were taken as design variables. A single objective optimization approach was utilized in the present work. The defined objective function was the turbine's power coefficient ($C_P$). A $3{\times}3$ full-factorial sampling technique was used to define the sample space. This sampling technique gave different turbine designs, which were further evaluated for the objective function by solving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANS). Finally, the SBO technique with search algorithm produced an optimal design. It is found that the optimal design has improved the objective function by 26.5%. This article presents the solution approach, analysis of the turbine flow field and the predictability of various surrogate based techniques.

A wind turbine simulation program for the coupled dynamics of aerodynamics, elasticity, multi-body dynamics and controls of turbine is newly developed by combining an aero-elastic code and a multi-body dynamics code. The aero-elastic code, based on the blade momentum theory and generalized dynamic wake theory, is developed by NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA). The multi-body dynamics code is commercial one which is capable of accounting for geometric nonlinearity and twist deflection. A turbulent wind load case is simulated for the NREL 5-MW baseline wind turbine model by the developed program and FAST. As a result, the two results agree well enough to verify the reliability of the developed program.

The unsteady flow calculation around the proprotor of Smart UAV was conducted. Using the flight scenario of SUAV which composed of hover, transition, and airplane mode, the aerodynamic analysis of proprotor were performed for the variation of collective pitch, rpm, forward speed, and tilt angle. The unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations were used for the calculation and the dynamic overset grid technique was applied for the rotating proprotor. The aerodynamic performance of proprotor calculated in this way were validated by comparing with the performance data obtained from the blade element momentum method.

피치 제어형 수평축 풍력터빈에 대한 공력최적 설계 형상과 피치 변화에 따른 공력 성능 특성을 수치적으로 계산하였다. 수치적 방법은 날개 요소이론을 적용하였으며, Prandtl의 팁 손실 효과, 에어포일의 분포 효과, 후류의 회전 효과 등을 고려하였다. 블레이드 설계에는 총 6개의 서로 다른 에어포일을 사용하였으며, 구조적 강성을 갖기 위해서 허브 측에는 최대 40% 두께비의 에어포일을 분포시켰다. 최적 설계에서 얻어진 비선형 코드 길이는 제작성과 무게 등을 고려하여 선형화 시켰고, 선형화에 따른 공력성능 변화는 무시할만하다는 결과를 얻어내었다. 피치각 변화에 따른 동력성능, 추력성능, 토크 성능 곡선을 비교한 결과 $3^{\circ}$의 피치각 변화에도 민감한 공력 값의 변동이 생김을 알 수 있었고, 정밀한 피치 제어를 위한 각도 제어는 증분이 $3^{\circ}$보다 작은 값으로 피치 제어 알고리즘과 피치 구동 장치가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 최대 토크는 설계속도비보다 작은 속도비에서 발생되는 결과를 보여주었다.

A design method for a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine for a micro-hydropower system is presented. The turbine consists of pre-stator, impeller and post-stator, where the pre-stator plays a role as a guide vane to provide circumferential velocity to the on-coming flow, and the impeller as a rotational power generator by absorbing angular momentum of the flow. BEM(Blade Element Method), which is based on the turbine Euler equation, is employed to design the pre-stator and impeller blades. NACA 66 thickness form and a=0.8 mean camber line, which is widely accepted as a marine propeller blade section, is used for the pre-stator and turbine blade section. A CFD method, derived from the discretization of the RANS equations, is applied for the analysis of the designed turbine system. The design conditions of the turbine is confirmed by the CFD calculation. Turbine characteristic curve is calculated by the CFD method, in order to provide the performance characteristics at off-design operation conditions. The proposed procedures for the design of a propeller type rim-driven axial-flow turbine are established and confirmed by the CFD analysis.

A control algorithm for a 100 kW wind turbine is designed in this study. The wind turbine is operating as a variable speed variable pitch (VSVP) status. Also, this wind turbine is a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) Type. For the medium capacity wind turbine considered in this study, it was found that the optimum tip speed ratios to achieve the maximum power coefficients varied with wind speeds. Therefore a commercial blade element momentum theory and multi-body dynamics based program was implemented to consider the variation of aerodynamic coefficients with respect to Reynolds numbers and to find out the power and thrust coefficients with respect tip speed ratio and blade pitch angles. In the end a basic power controller was designed for below rated, transition and above rated regions, and a load reduction algorithm was designed to reduce tower vibration by the nacelle motion. As a result, damage equivalent Load (DEL) of tower fore-aft has been reduced by 32%. From dynamic simulations in the commercial program, the controller was found to work properly as designed. Experimental validation of the control algorithm will be done in the future.

The preliminary design stage of helicopters consists of various operations and in each operation design several detailed analysis tasks are needed. The analysis tasks include performance and the required power estimation. In helicopter design, those are usually carried out by adopting the momentum theory. In this paper, an explicit form of computational analysis based on the blade element theory and uniform/non-uniform inflow model is developed. The other motivation of the present development is to obtain trim and required power estimation for various helicopter configurations. Sectional and hub loads, power, trim, and flapping equations are derived by using a symbolic tool. Iterative computations are carried out till convergence is achieved in the blade response, inflow, and trim. The predictions regarding the trim and power estimation turn out to be correlated well with the experimental results. The effect of inflow is further investigated. It is found that the present prediction for the lateral cyclic pitch angle is improved with the non-uniform inflow model as compared to that by the uniform inflow model. The presently improved trim and power estimation will be useful for future helicopter sizing and performance analysis.
