This paper is concerned about the hydrodynamic coefficients of hydrofoil. We discretized the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with second order Runge-kutta for the time in the second order compact scheme for the spatial. The three-dimensional CFD code based on hybrid mesh on the finite volume method is used to simulate flow around NACA series foils. Lift and drag coefficient is calculated for several NACA series foils using different mesh types. Our aim is to obtain the lift and drag coefficient to evaluate the robustness of the solver and to shaw the advantage of using trim tab at the trailing edge. It concludes with a discussion of results and recommendations for future work.

Numerical investigation has been carried out for laminar flow past an inclined square cylinder in cross freestream. In particular, inclination of a square cylinder with respect to the main flow direction can cause sudden shift of the separation points to other edges, resulting in drastic change of flow-induced forces on the cylinder such as Strouhal number (St) of vortex shedding, drag and lift forces on the cylinder, depending upon the inclination angle. Collecting all the numerical results obtained, we propose contour diagrams of drag/lift coefficients and Strouhal number on an Re-Angle plane. This study would be the first step towards understanding flow-induced forces on cylindrical structures under a strong gust of wind from the viewpoint of wind hazards.

항력계수와 양력계수는 각각 항력, 양력을 동압과 에어포일의 코드 길이로 나눈 값으로 정의된다. 항공기의 비행에 있어서 항력과 양력은 매우 중요한 요소로 작용하며 항공기의 속도에 따라 항력과 양력은 크게 변하게 된다. 첫째로 학부과정에서 배운 마하수에 따른 항력계수의 변화, 그 중에서도 마하수 1 이상에서의 항력계수 감소에 관한 이론을 살펴보고 EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 마하수에 따른 항력계수의 값을 실제로 측정해보고 비교해보았다. 두 번째로는 EDISON_CFD로 측정한 마하수버에 따른 양력계수 값과 앞서 측정한 항력계수 값을 이용하여 NACA0012의 마하수에 따른 양력과 항력의비 (양항비)를 구하여 실제고도에서 비행 시 NACA0012의 적정 효율을 가지는 마하수를 알아보았다.

항공기 운항 중에 가장 연료가 많이 소모될 때는 순간 고출력이 필요한 이륙 순간이다. 항공기가 이륙시 보다 적은 연료를 이용하여 효율적인 비행을 위해 고양력 장치를 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 항공기가 이륙 시 사용되는 고양력 발생 장치 중 하나인 Slat을 이용하여 Slat의 각도 변화에 따라 가장 효율적인 공력특성을 찾아보았다. Slat의 각도를 $15^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ $25^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$로 변화시켜 보면서 공력 특성 값들을 확인한 결과 Slat이 있는 경우 NACA2415만 있는 경우보다 양력계수가 좋아졌으나 Slat 뒷전의 와류에 의해 항력계수가 약간 증가 하는 모습을 보였다. 본 실험 case 중에서는 Slat 각도가 $30^{\circ}$일 때 Slat 뒷전의 와류가 사라져 가장 우수한 공력 특성을 보였다.

A simple Couette flow velocity profile with an appropriate correlation for the free terminal rise velocity of a single bubble in a quiescent liquid can produce reliable results for the trajectories of small spherical air bubbles in a low-viscosity liquid (water) provided the liquid remains under uniform shear flow. Comparison of the model adopted in this paper with published results has been accomplished. Based on this study it has also been found that the lift coefficient in water is higher than its typical value in a high-viscosity liquid and therefore a modified correlation for the lift coefficient in a uniform shear flow of water within the regime of the $E\ddot{o}tv\ddot{o}s$ number $0.305{\leq}Eo{\leq}1.22$ is also presented.

The Coanda effect is the phenomenon of a fluid jet to stay attached to a curved surface; when a jet stream is applied tangentially to a convex surface, lift force is generated by increase in the circulation. The Coanda effect has great potential to be applied practically applied to marine hydrodynamics where various lifting surfaces are being widely used to control the behavior of ships and offshore structures. In the present study, Numerical simulations and corresponding experiments were performed to ascertain the applicability of the Coanda effect to a horn-type rudder. It was found that the Coanda jet increases the lift coefficient of the rudder by as much as 52% at a jet momentum coefficient of 0.1 and rudder angle of $10^{\circ}$.

In this study, aerodynmaic characteristics of the notch-back and fast-backpassenger vehicle models(1/10~1/12 acale) attached with winglets were experimentally investigated in a low speed wind tunnel. For various positions(X/L). tilted angles($\beta$) of a winglet, the aerodynamic forces on the vehicle model and rear-surface pressures were measured at various flow speeds. Also a flow of model surface was visualized by tuft method. The experimental results showed that winglets effect aerodynamic characteristics of vehicle models. A maximum of 3% reduction in lift coefficient was achieved with winglets at $\alpha$=-30$^{\circ}$. A maximum of 10% reduction in drag coefficient was achieved for a model with winglets and a rear-spoiler.

Aerodynamic characteristics of cross section shape is an important parameter for the wind response and structural stability of long span bridges. Numerical simulation methods have been introduced to estimate the aerodynamic characteristics for more detailed flow analysis and cost saving in place of existing wind tunnel experiment. In this study, the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulation and large eddy simulation( LES) technique were used to estimate lift, drag and moment coefficients of four cross sections. The Strouhal numbers were also determined by the fast Fourier transform of time series of the lift coefficient. The values from simulations and references were in a good agreement with average difference of 16.7% in coefficients and 8.5% in the Strouhal numbers. The success of the simulations is expected to attribute to the practical use of numerical estimation in construction engineering and wind load analysis.

Wind tunnel experiments were performed to study the wind loads on an inclined flat plate with and without a guide plate. Highly turbulent flow, which corresponded to free-stream turbulence intensity on the flat roof of low-rise buildings, was produced by a turbulence generation grid at the inlet of the test section. The test model could represent a typical solar collector panel of a solar water heater. There are up-stream movements of the separation bubble and side-edge vortices, more intense fluctuating pressure and a higher bending moment in the turbulent flow. A guide plate would result in higher lift coefficient, particularly with an increased projected area ratio of a guide plate to an inclined flat plate. The value of lift coefficient is considerably lower with increased free-stream turbulent intensity.

The new aerofoil, KA2 was designed to apply to the wind turbine blade. For the aerofoil, numerical analysis was performed to review aerodynamic characteristics like lift and drag coefficient. And they are verified with test data using the digital wind tunnel and test samples from 3D printer. The digital wind tunnel was developed to test wing in the small laboratory, and verified with test of NACA0012 airfoil. KA2 aerofoil is asymmetric, and has the thickness ratio of 14%, and 12 degree of AOA at the maximum lift coefficient of 1.3. In this paper, aerodynamic characteristics from numerical and test approaches will be proposed with AOA in detail. Therefore, this aerofoil will be used for the design of wind turbine blade.
