Sunroof is getting widely used in automobiles since it maintains, compare to window, better air circulation as well as less noise while driving in high speed. In this study, we consider an electronic control type spoiler sunroof which slides backward after tilting a rear part of a glass. Installing a wind deflector on the sunroof reduces noise much more effectively. The height of the wind deflector is designed using a boundary theory related to incompressible air layer. The developed wind deflector is investigated experimentally by measuring a wind noise. When the height of the wind deflector is designed by a fixed type, the sunroof maintains a very quiet interior noise over a certain driving speed, nevertheless it produces relatively loud noise in low driving speed.

The best sunroof wind noise quality is mainly related to the sunroof deflector which affects both low-speed buffeting and high-speed aerodynamic noise. An automatic deflector-moving and noise-measuring apparatus is developed to obtain hundreds of measuring data which haven't been available by hand. With an additional program for fast and easy noise analysis, this device leads quickly to the better position and angle of the deflector. Now, the 'better' means the lower noise level and the robuster design solution. From these kinds of better solutions, more meaningful guidelines on the deflector design and sunroof wind noise reduction can be suggested.

본 연구에서는 차량에 장착되는 파노라마 썬루프 디플렉터의 각도에 따른 개구부 주변 유동 특성을 분석하고 공력소음에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 파노라마 썬루프 개방 후 주행 시 공력소음을 저감하기 위해 메쉬 디플렉터를 장착하는데, 후방향인 기존 메쉬 디플렉터 각도를 전방향으로 변경하였을 때 유동 변화와 공력소음 기여도를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 CAT(Computer Aided Test)와 실차 풍동 평가를 진행하였으며, 전방경사형 디플렉터에서 기존 디플렉터 대비 원활한 유동의 흐름과 유동 방향의 상향으로 공력소음이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 전방경사형 디플렉터 적용 시 동등한 원가에서 공력소음을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In order to examine the effects of different wind deflectors on the wind load distribution characteristics of extra-large cooling towers, a comparative study of the distribution characteristics of wind pressures on the surface of three large cooling towers with typical wind deflectors and one tower without wind deflector was conducted using wind tunnel tests. These characteristics include aerodynamic parameters such as mean wind pressures, fluctuating wind pressures, peak factors, correlation coefficients, extreme wind pressures, drag coefficients and vorticity distribution. Then distribution regularities of different wind deflectors on global and local wind pressure of extra-large cooling towers was extracted, and finally the fitting formula of extreme wind pressure of the cooling towers with different wind deflectors was provided. The results showed that the large eddy simulation (LES) method used in this article could be used to accurately simulate wind loads of such extra-large cooling towers. The three typical wind deflectors could effectively reduce the average wind pressure of the negative pressure extreme regions in the central part of the tower, and were also effective in reducing the root of the variance of the fluctuating wind pressure in the upper-middle part of the windward side of the tower, with the curved air deflector showing particularly. All the different wind deflectors effectively reduced the wind pressure extremes of the middle and lower regions of the windward side of the tower and of the negative pressure extremes region, with the best effect occurring in the curved wind deflector. After the wind deflectors were installed the drag coefficient values of each layer of the middle and lower parts of the tower were significantly higher than that without wind deflector, but the effect on the drag coefficients of layers above the throat was weak. The peak factors for the windward side, the side and leeward side of the extra-large cooling towers with different wind deflectors were set as 3.29, 3.41 and 3.50, respectively.

The noise from the sunroof can be divided into the low frequency buffeting noise and the high frequency turbulence noise generated when a car runs at the high driving speed. The wind deflector suppresses the buffeting noise generation by accelerating the vortex shedding from the front edge of sunroof opening, and guides the flow direction so that air can pass smoothly over the sunroof opening. To reduce the buffeting noise and the high frequency noise, it is very important to locate a deflector in a proper position depending on the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. The deflector's sectional shape also plays an important role in efficiently reducing the buffeting and high frequency noise. In this paper, we determined the optimum deflector's sectional shape and examined the flow characteristics behind a sunroof deflector through CFD analysis with changing the deflector height, the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. It is found that the deflector needs to be located in the higher location to control the buffeting noise by shedding the higher frequency vortices to accelerating vortices from the sunroof front edge. The deflector may act as a new noise source at the high driving speed, then it is desirable to put the deflector at the proper height to reduce the flow fluctuations and the noise generation. We also made a road test to verify CFD analysis results in this study.

The Maanshan Bridge over Yangtze River in China is a new long-span suspension bridge with double main spans of $2{\times}1080m$ and a closed streamline cross-section of single box deck. The flutter and buffeting performances were investigated via wind tunnel tests of a full bridge aeroelastic model at a geometric scale of 1:211. The tests were conducted in both smooth wind and simulated boundary layer wind fields. Emphasis is placed on studying the interference effect of adjacent span via installing a wind deflector and a wind separating board to shelter one span of the bridge model from incoming flow. Issues related to effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions are also discussed. The testing results show that flutter critical wind velocities in smooth flow, with a wind deflector, are remarkably lower than those without. In turbulent wind, torsional and vertical standard deviations for the deck responses at midspan in testing cases without wind deflector are generally less than those at the midspan exposed to wind in testing cases with wind deflector, respectively. When double main spans are exposed to turbulent wind, the existence of either span is a mass damper to the other. Furthermore, both effects of mid-tower stiffness and deck supporting conditions at the middle tower on the flutter and buffeting performances of the Maanshan Bridge are unremarkable.

본 연구에서는 트레일러의 디플렉터의 유무 및 그 형상들에 따른 주위의 유동해석을 하였다. 디플렉터가 없는 경우는 디플렉터가 있는 경우보다 컨테이너 뒤로 생기는 난류의 운동에너지도 더 넓은 영역에서 더 높은 운동 에너지가 발생하여 그 항력으로 인하여 차량의 주행성에 나쁜 영향을 미친다. 트레일러의 윈드 디플렉터가 없는 모델은 디플렉터가 있는 모델보다 트레일러 주변 유속이 불안정하고, 난류의 운동에너지도 많이 생겨서, 트레일러에 디플렉터를 설치하므로서 그 연비상승을 기대할 수 있다고 사료된다. 윈드 디플렉터 형상에 따른 트레일러 주위의 유동해석에 대한 연구결과를 적용함으로서, 본 연구가 미적인 융합에 적합된다고 보인다.

In the present study, wind tunnel experiments were performed to reduce the drag of a paragliding helmet in the range of Reynolds numbers from 46,000 to 155,000. The drag force of the helmet model with dimples and deflectors installed was measured by varying the dimple depth and the slant angle of the deflector. The dimples were effective in reducing the drag at low Reynolds numbers, but no significant drag reduction was found in the Reynolds number range in which an actual paraglider flight takes place. On the other hand, the deflector installed tangentially to the side outline of the helmet showed an average drag reduction of 7% in the flight Reynolds number range of real paragliding. This was because the deflector shrunk the size of the wake region and moved the wake region downstream of the deflector.

본 연구에서는 화물 운송 차량들을 모델링하였고 화물 운송 차량의 화물칸 및 윈드 디플렉터의 유무에 따른 유동해석을 수행하였다. Model A, B, C 모두, 100km/hr의 운행 속도를 기준으로 하여, 모델 형상의 윗부분에서 58m/에서 59m/s 사이로 가장 높은 유동 속도가 나타났다. Model A, B, C 세 모델들 모두 모델 형상의 앞부분에서 652Pa에서 671Pa사이에 공기저항의 압력이 가장 높게 나타났다. Model A의 최대 압력은 Model B 및 C에 비하여, 작게 나타나서, 속도에 대한 유동 저항이 가장 적게 작용한 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 Model A가 유류비 측면에서 공기 저항에 대한 유리한 조건을 가짐을 알 수 있다. Model C는 화물칸에서 급격하게 유동저항이 발생하는 Model B와 달리 유선형 형상의 윈드 디플렉터를 타고 공기가 조금 더 원활하게 흐르는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 각진 형상보다 유선형의 형상에서 공기저항 측면에서는 더 유리하다고 사료된다. 트럭 화물칸 및 윈드 디플렉터에 따른 운행중 공기흐름에 대한 해석 연구 결과를 적용함으로서, 본 연구가 실제적인 효율적인 설계와 미적인 융합에 적합하다고 보인다.
