A CFD analysis of helicopter flowfield in forward flight is considered as non-trivial issue because of the complexity of vorticity-dominated flowfield. In this work, a study on the selection of the proper location for the installation of the Pitot probe is conducted using a CFD code which can deal with the interaction of rotor blade vortex and body. To describe the flow patterns for rotating rotor blades and body, the sliding mesh scheme is utilized. Pressure distributions and flow patterns are also analyzed to identify regions free from the interaction of body and wake induced from rotor blades.

This study aims to analyze the flow characteristics of turbo-fan which is applied to the industrial field. Numerical analysis has been carried out to investigate the pulsation behavior of exhaust air flown out turbo fan by rotating impeller with constant speed. Moving mesh technique is proved as time-accurate solution for the flow inside impeller. As numerical results come within the error range of 1% by comparing with theoretical results, the numerical analysis can be verified. Cutoff angle has large influence on the amplitude of pulsation and the least pulsation of flow can be generated by the cutoff angle of $20^{\circ}$.

This paper presents a rotordynamic analysis of the reduction gear system applied to the 250 kW super critical CO₂ cycle. The reduction gear system consists of an input shaft, intermediate shaft, and output shaft. Because of the high rotating speed of the input shaft, we install tilting pad bearings, rolloer bearings support the intermediate and output shafts. To predict the tilting pad bearing performance, we calculate the applied loads to the tilting pad bearings by considering the reaction forces from the gear. In the rotordynamic analysis, gear mesh stiffness results in a coupling effect between the lateral and torsional vibrations. The predicted Campbell diagram shows that there is not a critical speed lower than the rated speed of 30,000 rpm of the input shaft. The predicted modes on the critical speeds are the combined bending modes of the intermediate and output shaft, and the lateral vibrations dominate when compared to the torsional vibrations. The damped natural frequency does not strongly depend on the rotating speeds, owing to the relatively low rotating speed of the intermediate and output shaft and constant stiffness of the roller bearing. In addition, the logarithmic decrements of all the modes are positive; therefore all modes are stable.

A CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis is presented to predict hydrodynamic characteristics of a marine propeller. A commercial RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation) solver, namely FLUENT, is utilized in conjunction with fully unstructured meshes around rotating propeller. Mesh generation process is greatly accelerated by using fully unstructured meshes composed of both isotropic and anisotropic tetrahedral elements. The anisotropic tetrahedral elements were used in the flow domain near the blade and shaft, where the viscous effect is important, having complex shape yet resolving the thin boundary layers. For other regions, isotropic tetrahedral elements are utilized. Two different approaches simulating rotational effect of the propeller are employed, namely Moving reference frame technique for steady simulation, and Sliding mesh technique for unsteady simulation. Both approaches are applied to the propeller open water (POW) test simulation. The current results, which are thrust and torque coefficients, are compared with available experimental data.

3차원 비정렬 격자를 이용한 로터-동체 공력 상호작용에 대한 수치적 해석을 수행하였다. 로터와 동체간의 상대적인 운동을 모사하기 위하여 해석 유동장을 회전하는 부분과 정지된 부분으로 나누어 계산하였다. 블레이드 끝단에서 생성되는 끝단 와류를 포착하기 위하여 준 비정상 적응 격자 기법을 도입하였다. 또한 낮은 속도로 전진 비행하는 헬리콥터 해석을 위해서 저 마하수 예조건화 기법을 적용하였다. 로터-동체 공력 간섭현상에 대한 검증을 위해 Georgia Tech 형상과 NASA에서 실험한 ROBIN 형상에 대한 실험 결과와 비교하여 본 연구 해석 기법이 타당함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 멀티콥터 대기자료센서의 최적의 장착위치 선정을 위한 멀티콥터 주변 유동장 해석을 과정을 기술하였다. 유동해석을 위해서는 상용유동해석 프로그램인 STAR-CCM+를 사용하였으며 다면체기반의 격자시스템과 k-w SST 난류 모델링을 사용하였다. 회전하는 4개의 프로펠러의 상대운동을 모사하기 위해서는 비정렬격자 기반 중첩격자기법을 사용하였다. 해석과정에서는 정지비행, 전진비행, 상승 및 하강비행에 대하여 해석을 수행하였고 센서위치에 대하여 측정오차를 분석하였다. 장착위치 분석결과 센서의 위치가 회전면에서 프로펠러 지름 높이 이상에 위치하면 하강비행을 제외한 멀티콥터의 운용과정에서 1m/s 정도 이내의 속도오차를 보이므로 비교적 정확한 측정이 가능할 것으로 예측되었다.

This paper discusses the hydrodynamic characteristics of a catamaran at low speed. In this study, the Delft 372 catamaran model was selected as the target hull to analyze the hydrodynamic characteristics by using the RANS (Reynold-Averaged Navier-Stokes) numerical method. First, the turbulence study and mesh independent study were conducted to select the appropriate method for numerical calculation. The numerical method for the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) calculation was verified by comparing the hydrodynamic force with that obtained experimentally at high speed condition and it rendered a good agreement. Second, the virtual captive model test for a catamaran at low speed was conducted using the verified method. The drift test with drift angle 0-180 degrees was performed and the resulting hydrodynamic forces were compared with the trends of other ship types. Also, the pure rotating test and yaw rotating test proposed by Takashina, (1986) were conducted. The Fourier coefficients obtained from the measured hydrodynamic force were compared with those of other ship types. Conversely, pure sway test and pure yaw test also were simulated to obtain added mass coefficients. By analyzing these results, the hydrodynamic coefficients of the catamaran at low speed were estimated. Finally, the maneuvering simulation in low speed conditions was performed by using the estimated hydrodynamic coefficients.

This work focuses on the dynamic analysis of thermal barrier coated straight and curved turbine blades modelled as functionally graded sandwich panel under thermal environment. The pre- twisted straight/curved blade model is considered to be fixed to the hub and, the complete assembly of the hub and blade are assumed to be rotating. The functionally graded sandwich composite blade is comprised of functionally graded face-sheet material and metal alloy core. The constituents' material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent, however, the overall properties are evaluated using Voigt's micromechanical scheme in conjunction with the modified power-law functions. The blade model kinematics is based on the equivalent single-layer shear deformation theory. The equations of motion are derived using the extended Hamilton's principle by including the effect of centrifugal forces, and further solved via 2D- isoparametric finite element approximations. The mesh refinement and validation tests are performed to illustrate the stability and accurateness of the present model. In addition, frequency characteristics of the pre-twisted rotating sandwich blades are computed under thermal environment at various sets of parametric conditions such as twist angles, thickness ratios, aspect ratios, layer thickness ratios, volume fractions, rotational velocity and blade curvatures which can be further useful for designing the blade type structures under turbine operating conditions.
