The behavior of unsteady wake vortices for the two-dimensional flat plate is simulated by a discrete vortex method. The flat plates and their wakes are represented by vortex sheets. The vortex sheets are replaced with discrete vortices. The freely deforming wake sheets are computed as a part of solution and the ground effect is included by a image method. In order to predict wake shapes accurately and to model closely coupled aerodynamic interference, a vortex core model and a vortex core addition scheme are used. The simulated wake shapes convecting behind the plates in unsteady motion are compared to a flow visualization result and other numerical results. The present results agree well with them. The present method is also applied to the aerodynamic analysis of flat plates in tandem configuration in ground effect.

Vortex generators are commonly used in mechanical engineering and the aerospace industry to suppress flow separation owing to their advantages of simple structure, economic viability, and high level of efficiency. Owing to the flow separation of the incoming wind on the leading edge, a suction area is formed on the roof surface, which results in a lifting effect on the roof. In this research, vortex generators were installed on the windward surface of a flat roof and used to disturb to roof flow field and reduced suction based on flow control theory. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed in this study to investigate the effects of vortex generators on reduce suction. It was determined that when the vortex generator was installed on the top of the roof on the windward surface, it had a significant control effect on reduce suction on the roof leading edge. In addition, the influence of parameters such as size, placement interval, and placement position of the vortex generator on the control effect of the roof's suction is also discussed.

In this paper, the experimental study was carried to investigate the effect of angle of the anti-vortex holes on the film cooling effectiveness on a flat plate. The pressure sensitive paint technique was applied to measure the film cooling effectiveness. Two anti-vortex hole angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $15^{\circ}$ with respect to the primary hole were considered, and the simple cylindrical hole case was also tested. The blowing ratio based on the cylindrical hole was 0.5 and the same flow rate was kept for all anti-vortex hole cases. Results showed that the film cooling effectiveness for the anti-vortex hole cases were much higher than that of the cylindrical case. Among the anti-vortex hole cases, $15^{\circ}$ angle anti-vortex hole case showed higher film cooling effectiveness than that by the $0^{\circ}$ angle anti-vortex hole case.

Control of horseshoe vortex in the circular cylinder-plate juncture using vortex generator (VG) was studied at $Re_D$(where D is the diameter of the cylinder) = $2.05{\times}10^5$. Impact of a number of parameters e.g., the shape of the VG's, number of VG pairs (n), spacing between the VG and the cylinder leading edge (L), lateral gap between the trailing edges of a VG pair (g), streamwise gap between two VG pairs ($S_{VG}$) and the spacing between the two VG's in parallel arrangement ($Z_{VG}$) etc. were investigated on the horseshoe vortex control. The study is conducted using surface oil flow visualization and surface pressure measurements in low speed wind tunnel. It is observed that all the parameters studied have significant control effect, either by reduction in separation region or by lowering the adverse pressure along the symmetric axis upstream of the juncture.

The unsteady evolution of trailing vortex sheets behind wings in close formation flight near the ground is simulated using a discrete vortex method. The ground effect is included by an image method. The method is validated by comparing computed results with other numerical results. For a lifting line with an elliptic loading, the ground has an effect of moving wingtip vortices laterally outward and suppressing the development of vortex evolution. The gap between wings in close formation flight has an effect of moving up wingtip vortices facing each other. For wings flying in parallel, the ground effect causes the wingtip vortices facing each other to move up, and it makes the opposite wing tip vortices to move laterally outward. When there is a relative height between the wings in ground effect, right-hand side wingtip vortices from a mothership move laterally inward.

An experimental study of the vortex interaction characteristics of a delta wing/LEX configuration was conducted in a wind tunnel using the micro water droplet and laser beam sheet visualization technique. The main focus of this study was to analyze the effect of the angle of attack and sideslip angle on the vortex interaction and vortex breakdown. These tests were accomplished at angles of attack between $16^{\circ}$ and $28^{\circ}$ and sideslip angle between $0^{\circ}$ and $-15^{\circ}$ at free-stream velocity of 6.2 m/s. Flow visualization data provide a description of the vortex interaction between LEX and wing vortices, and of the vortex breakdown. The introduction of LEX vortex stabilized the vortical flow, and delayed the vortex breakdown up to higher angle of attack. The vortex interaction and breakdown was promoted on the windward side, whereas they are suppressed on the leeward side.

For the analysis of lifting surface at high angle of attack, a Nonlinear Vortex Lattice Method(NLVLM) was used. The NLVLM is intented to compute the interactions between lifting surfaces and separated vertical flow. The lifting surfaces are represented by a lattice of discrete vortex rings. And wakes are represented by families of non-lintersecting, semi-infinite vortex line segments. The image method also used to analyze the ground effect. It is found that vortex lines separated from lifting surfaces represent the separated flows successfully. Although the present method is applied for the rectangular wing and delta wing, extensions can be possible for the arbitrary lifting surfaces. The Present results show good agreement with experimental data.

Three-dimensional vortex structures in the corner region of translating normal plates are visualized experimentally with defocusing digital particle image velocimetry. Vortex formation processes for three plates with corner angle $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $120^{\circ}$ are compared in order to study the effect of corner shape on vortex formation. In all cases, the self-induction of the starting vortex and its interaction with the potential flow induced by the moving plate cause the vortex to change its form dynamically after the plate starts to translate. While the vortex near a corner follows the plate in the low corner angle of $60^{\circ}$, the vortex separates early from the plate and its forward motion becomes slow in the high corner angle of $120^{\circ}$. It is also found that the starting vortex can transport inward at the corner, which depends on the corner angle.

An experimental investigation was conducted on the interaction of vortices over a delta wing with the leading edge extension for three angles of attack($16^{\circ},\; 24^{\circ} \;and\; 28^{\circ}$) at Reynolds number of $1.76{\times}10^6.$ The experimental data included total pressure contours and velocity vectors using 5-hole probe measurements. Constant total pressure coefficient contours show the LEX vortex moves downward and outboard, while the wing vortex exhibited an inboard and upward migration. At near the trailing edge, these vortices reveal a direct interaction between the wing and LEX vortex, featuring a coiling of vortex cores about each other. The combined effect of the interaction of these two vortices and proximity to the wing surface results in the increase of the suction peak. This is in contrast to the result obtained on the delta wing alone configuration, where the effect of the vortex breakdown was manifested. The interaction of the wing and LEX vortices is more pronounced at higher AOA.

이·착륙하는 항공기에서 발생하는 후류의 거동에 대한 연구는 근접 후행 항공기의 비행안정성과 공항의 경제성 등과 관련하여 매우 중요하다. 특히 이착륙 비행단계에서 발생한 와들의 거동 연구는 지면효과가 반드시 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 2차원 스펙트럴법에 와도경계조건 및 이미지법을 적용하여, 지면효과가 고려될 수 있는 수치해법을 도출하였다. 개선된 수치기법을 사용하여 얻은 결과를 참고문헌의 수치해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 특히, 본 연구의 수치해석방법으로 지면근처에서 발생하는 이차와(secondary vortex)의 생성과 박리, 그리고 거동을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 향후 본 연구방법을 확장하여 Stratification, Wind Shear 등 다양한 기상조건이 와의 거동에 미치는 영향을 연구할 계획이다.
