본 연구에서는 1 MW급 수평축 조류발전기의 출력 및 유동특성을 분석하기 위해 3차원 레이놀즈 평균 나비어-스톡스 해석을 수행하였다. 난류해석을 위해 SST(shear stress transport) 난류모델을 사용하였고, 유동해석을 위한 계산영역은 육면체격자로 구성하였으며, 최적의 격자 크기를 결정하기 위하여 격자 의존성 시험을 수행하였다. 터빈의 노즈 형상 및 유입각도, 그리고 타워 구조물의 영향을 분석하였다. 노즈 형상의 경우 노즈의 직경 대비 축방향 길이의 비가 증가할수록 터빈 출력이 향상되는 결과를 확인할 수 있었고, 유입각도가 약 15° 이상에서는 터빈의 성능이 약 10% 이상 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 타워 구조물에 의하여 하류식 터빈의 경우 상류식 터빈에 비하여 성능이 1% 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

가스터빈엔진의 성능시험을 위한 엔진 입구덕트를 1D 기법으로 Sizing 하였으며, 압축기 입구유동측정면(AIP, Aerodynamic interface plane)에서 경계층 두께를 최소화하고, 코어부 마하수분포가 균일하도록 설계하였다. 노즈콘 형상은 Haack-series 모델을 적용하고, 덕트 안쪽과 바깥쪽 면적변화율이 동일하도록 입구덕트 채널 바깥반경($r_o$)를 결정하여 설계목적을 구현하고자 하였으며, 이러한 형상이 설계목표에 부합하는지 확인하기 위하여 CFD를 수행하였다. AIP면에서 정압력분포는 최대값과 최소값 차이가 0.16% 이었으며, 마하수분포에서 경계층은 덕트반경 길의 2% 이내로 설계목표를 만족하였다. 이때 균일유동 코어부는 채널높이의 95% 이상이었다. 또한 입구유동의 전온도를 측정하기 위한 키엘 전 온도레이크 위치는 온도 회복계수가 최대화 되도록 마하수가 0.1 이하 지역인 노즈콘 전방 100 mm 이내이어야 함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the leakage and endurance performances of mechanical face seals in a 75-tonf turbopump for the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II first-stage engine. A mechanical face seal is used between the fuel pump and turbine to prevent mixing of the fuel and turbine gas. However, excessive leakage occurs through the carbon attached to the mechanical face seal bellows. To reduce this leakage, we redesign the mechanical face seal such that the contact area between the fuel and carbon is reduced, height of the carbon nose is reduced, and stiffness of the bellows is increased. Then, we conduct static and dynamic leakage tests and endurance tests to compare the performances of the original and modified mechanical face seals. The investigation of the leakage of the old and new mechanical face seals confirms that the leakage performance is significantly improved, by 80%, in the new design in comparison with the old design. The endurance tests demonstrate that the average wear rate of carbon in the new mechanical face seal is 0.1094 ㎛/s. The service lifetime is predicted to be 4,200 s, which is 28 times greater than the requirement. Finally, we present a new mechanical face seal in a 75-tonf turbopump, and perform a validation test in the real-propellant test facility at the NARO Space Center. Based on the test results, we can confirm that the modified mechanical face seal works well under real operating conditions.

The carbon fiber reinforced carbon composite (CFRC) materials are necessary for the advanced industries that require the thermal resistance. And the development and research for CFRC has been in progress in the field of aerospace and defense industry. CFRC have several advantages and special properties such as excellent anti ablation, outstanding strength retention at very high temperature, high heat capacity and thermal transport, high specific stiffness and strength, and high thermal shock resistance. They have been used as aircraft brake, rocket nozzle, nose cones, jet engine turbine wheels, and high speed craft. Since the technology related to CFRC was prohibited from importing and exporting, we developed our own technology to produce F-16 B32 brake disk made out of CFRC, and then we performed various tests to observe the characteristics of CFRC-based brake disk developed in this study in view of density, strength, friction, specific heat, and heat conductivity.

Dynamic Stall is a flow phenomenon which occurs on the retreating side of helicopter rotor blades during forward flight. It also occurs on blades of stall regulated wind turbines under yawing conditions as well as during gust loads. Time scales occurring during this process are comparable on both helicopter and wind turbine blades. Dynamic Stall limits the speed of the helicopter and its manoeuvrability and limits the amount of power production of wind turbines. Extensive numerical as well as experimental investigations have been carried out recently to get detailed insight into the very complex flow structures of the Dynamic Stall process. Numerical codes have to be based on the full equations, i.e. the Navier-Stokes equations to cover the scope of the problems involved: Time dependent flow, unsteady flow separation, vortex development and shedding, compressibility effects, turbulence, transition and 3D-effects, etc. have to be taken into account. In addition to the numerical treatment of the Dynamic Stall problem suitable wind tunnel experiments are inevitable. Comparisons of experimental data with calculated results show us the state of the art and validity of the CFD-codes and the necessity to further improve calculation procedures. In the present paper the phenomenon of Dynamic Stall will be discussed first. This discussion is followed by comparisons of some recently obtained experimental and numerical results for an oscillating helicopter airfoil under Dynamic Stall conditions. From the knowledge base of the Dynamic Stall Problems, the next step can be envisaged: to control Dynamic Stall. The present discussion will address two different Dynamic Stall control methodologies: the Nose-Droop concept and the application of Leading Edge Vortex Generators (LEVoG's) as examples of active and passive control devices. It will be shown that experimental results are available but CFD-data are only of limited comparison. A lot of future work has to be done in CFD-code development to fill this gap. Here mainly 3D-effects as well as improvements of both turbulence and transition modelling are of major concern.
