A study was done on the numerical and experimental analyses of the aerodynamic characteristics of a counter rotating axial fan. The numerical analysis uses the frequency domain panel method developed for the aerodynamic analysis of interacting rotating systems, which is based on the unsteady lifting surface panel method. Each stage of interaction involves the solution of an isolated rotor, the interaction being done through the Fourier transform of the induced velocity field. Numerical results showed good agreements with other experimental data for single and counter rotating propeller systems. And they were compared with the experimental results of the counter rotating axial fan studied in the present paper. The performance test was carried out based on the Korean Standard (KS B 6311). It was focused on the relative efficiency increase of a counter rotating system for a single rotating one, and effects of the axial distance between the front and rear rotors on overall fan performances were investigated. As a result, it was shown that the counter rotating axial fan has the efficiency 14% higher than the single rotating one at peak efficiency points.

We analyzed the non-Newtonian and non-isothermal flow in the melt conveying zone in co-rotating and counter-rotating screw extruder system with the commercial code, STAR-CD, and compared the mixing performance with respect to screw speed and rotating direction. The viscosity of fluid was described by power-law model. The dynamics of mixing was studied numerically by tracking the motion of particles in a twin screw extruder system. The extent of mixing was characterized in terms of the residence time distribution and average strain. The results showed that high screw speed decreases the residence time but increases the shear rate. Therefore higher screw speed increases the strain and has better mixing performance. Counter-rotating screw extruder system and co-rotating screw extruder has the similar shear rate with the same screw speed in spite of different rotating direction. However, the counter-rotating screw has good mixing performance, which is resulted from longer residence time than that of co-rotating screw extruder.

This paper aims to present the design and performance evaluation of a counter-rotating tidal turbine using CFD and to compare its performance with single rotor. The device scale is 10kW and the rotating part consists of two rotors which rotate in opposite direction. Compared with conventional single rotor, the counter-rotating system shows higher power efficiency at high stream velocity but lower efficiency at low stream velocity. The added counter-rotated rotor together helps improve the energy absorption capacity but has influence on the upstream rotor that reduces its performance. In terms of power capture, the designed counter-rotating tidal turbine is more advantageous in high speed tidal condition.

In the case of the general helicopter among rotorcraft, length of the rotor blade for thrust-generation is longer than that of fuselage and tail rotor is required in order to compensate moment of the fuselage. For those reasons, enough space for take-off and landing should be secured and an accessibility for building is low. Also, the accidents caused by tail rotor occur frequently. However, the case of counter-rotating has merits that tail rotor is unnecessary as well as length of the rotor blade can be shortened but has a weakness that the weight of body is increased. In the present study, aerodynamic force measurement on single rotor system equipped with NACA0012 airfoil, which has aspect ratio of 6 and chord length of 35.5 mm, was carried out. And measurement was conducted with blade which has a half size of the former blade by using single motor counter-rotating. Aerodynamic force measurement was acquired by using 6-component balances and coefficients of thrust and power were derived along the pitch angle varying from 0$^{\circ}$ to 90$^{\circ}$ with the increment of 10$^{\circ}$. Those aerodynamic force data will be utilized for the design and production of brand-new counter-rotating rotor blade system which has same thrust with single blade system and provides a good accessibility to building by reducing its blade length.

상반전 풍력터빈은 설계와 성능 관점에서 최근 각광을 받기 시작하고 있다. 본 논문은 NREL S822, S823을 이용하여 설계 및 모델링한 상반전 풍력터빈에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문은 수치해석 기법을 통하여 단일 풍력터빈과 상반전 풍력터빈을 각각 설계하고, 그 성능을 다양한 조건에서 비교하고자 하였다. 그 결과 상반전 풍력터빈은 단일 풍력 터빈에 비해 TSR 3~5 영역에서 보다 높은 성능계수를 나타냈으며, 그 보다 더 높은 TSR 영역에서는 낮은 성능계수를 나타내었다. 이것은 로터 상 하류의 간섭의 간섭 때문이며, 또한 본 연구에서는 낮은 영역의 TSR에서 운전되는 상반전 풍력터빈의 유효성을 함께 보였다.

동축 반전 프로펠러는 기존의 단일 프로펠러와 달리 추가적인 설계 변수의 증가로 인해 실험적 성능평가에 비용과 시간 측면에서 여러 제약이 따른다. 또한 상/하단 프로펠러 사이의 상호 간섭으로 인하여 수치 해석에 있어서도 많은 시간과 자원이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 시간 효율적인 수치해석기법인 actuator 기법을 활용하여 제자리 비행하는 동축 반전 프로펠러의 공력 성능에 관한 수치적 연구를 수행하였다. 상용 CFD 코드인 ANSYS Fluent 결과와 비교하여 해석기법의 정확성을 검증하였다. 해석 변수로는 동축 반전 프로펠러의 축 간극과 회전속도를 선정하였으며, 다양한 조건에서 동축 반전 프로펠러의 공력 성능을 획득하였다. 획득한 공력 성능을 바탕으로 단일 프로펠러와 동축 반전 프로펠러의 제자리 비행 효율 계수를 획득하고, 단일 프로펠러의 성능으로 동축 반전 프로펠러의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 예측 인자를 도출하여 actuator 기법의 활용성을 평가하였다.

Swirler generates the overall swirling flow in the combustion chamber and this swirling flow governs the flame stability and enhances fuel atomization. This paper deals with the flare angle effects on flow streamlines, recirculation zone, Central Toroidal Recirculation Zone(CTRZ) and Corner Recirculation Zone(CRZ) in the model combustion chamber using counter-rotating swirler. 2D PIV system was employed to obtain the velocity components and test condition was obtained using Reynolds Analogy equivalent to air test. We observed transitional flow patterns of flare angle increased. The obtained results show that the flare angle controls the behavior of Recirculation zone, Central Toroidal Recirculation Zone and Corner Recirculation Zone.

Tidal turbine, which is relatively similar to wind turbine in term of operational principle, has become a potential solution for the sustainable development of global energy. This paper introduces author's work on tidal turbine which aims to improve the power efficiency by the adaption of counter-rotating concept. The turbine system is modelled and analyzed using computational simulation commercial code. Compared with other works, the counter-rotating tidal turbine presented here is expected to operate stably with high performance throughout a wide range of tip-speed-ratio. Moreover, the equability of individual performance of each rotor is an advantage.

During flight of the aircraft, the vortex merging phenomenon appears under the certain condition between co-rotating vortices which were generated at the wing tip and lifting-surface. And then these merged vortices at both sides show counter-rotating pattern to affect on the downstream of the aircraft. In this paper, the numerical simulations are conducted assuming this phenomenon in two-dimensional co-rotating or counter-rotating vortices pairs. Two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were converted into Vorticity-Streamfunction form and the Galerkin spectral method was adopted. The third order Runge-Kutta method was used for time integration. The effects on the vortex merger and degree of vortex merger were investigated according to time, Reynolds number, and changes in the distance between two vortices.
