지난 10년간 복원력 상실에 의한 어선의 해양사고가 지속해서 증가하고 있으며, 갑작스러운 강풍이 주요 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 이러한 강풍에도 견딜 수 있는 어선의 운동·조종성능을 확보하기 위해서는 정밀한 풍하중 예측 기법이 우선되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 기법을 이용한 어선의 풍하중 평가기법을 개발하고자 한다. 특히, 고도 변화에 따라 풍속이 변화하는 계산환경을 모사하여 그 결과를 균일한 속도분포를 가정한 수치해석 결과와 비교 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 0-180°까지 15° 간격으로 13개의 방향에 대해 풍하중을 계산하였으며, 계산에 사용된 메쉬 모델은 메쉬 의존성 시험을 수행하여 개발하였다. 전산수치해석은 RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) 기반 상용 해석 Solver인 STAR-CCM+(Ver. 13.06)와 k-ω 난류 모델을 이용하여 정상상태(Steady State) 유동해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석결과를 간략히 살펴보면 Surge, Sway 및 Heave에서 39.5 %, 41.6 % 및 46.1 % 풍하중이 감소하였으며 Roll, Pitch 및 Yaw에서 48.2 %, 50.6 % 및 36.5 % 감소하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 고도에 따른 풍속 변화 모델을 통해 기존보다 정밀한 수준의 풍하중 추정이 가능한 것을 확인하였으며, 그 결과가 선박의 풍하중 추정 평가기법 발전에 이바지하길 기대한다.

This paper presents a reliability assessment model for the power semiconductors used in wind turbine power converters. In this study, the thermal loadings at different timescales of wind speed are considered. First, in order to address the influence of long-term thermal cycling caused by variations in wind speed, the power converter operation state is partitioned into different phases in terms of average wind speed and wind turbulence. Therefore, the contributions can be considered separately. Then, in regards to the reliability assessment caused by short-term thermal cycling, the wind profile is converted to a wind speed distribution, and the contribution of different wind speeds to the final failure rate is accumulated. Finally, the reliability of an actual power converter semiconductor for a 2.5 MW wind turbine is assessed, and the failure rates induced by different timescale thermal behavior patterns are compared. The effects of various parameters such as cut-in, rated, cut-out wind speed on the failure rate of power devices are also analyzed based on the proposed model.

This research proposes a wind-lens turbine design that can startup and operate at a low wind speed (< 5m/s). The performance of the wind-lens turbine was investigated using CFD and wind tunnel testing. The wind-lens turbine consists of a 3-bladed horizontal axis wind turbine with a diameter of 0.6m and a diffuser-shaped shroud that uses the suction side of the thin airfoil SD2030 as a cross-section profile. The performance of the 3-bladed wind-lens turbine was then compared to the two-bladed rotor configuration while keeping the blade geometry the same. The 3-bladed wind-lens turbine successfully startup at 1m/s and produced a torque of 66% higher than the bare turbine, while the two-bladed wind-lens turbine startup at less than 4m/s and produced a torque of 186 % higher than the two-bladed bare turbine at the design point. Findings testify that adding the wind-lens could improve the bare turbine's performance at low wind speed.

The results of measurements of shear current induced in water by wind in wind wave tunnel are presented briefly. The shear current distributions are found to fit reasonably well an exponentiall form. This form was used to estimate surface velocity and boundary layer thickness used in stability analysis. An analysis of hydrodynamic stability of the shear current was carried out, using a broken line as an approximate profile, to see the stability as a possible mechanism of wind wave generation. Comparison between experimental results and theoretical ones shows that there exists a large discrepancy particularly in phase velocity and hydrodynamic instability of the shear current seems not to be the basic mechanism of wind wave generation.

Researchers at the International Hurricane Research Center (IHRC), Florida International University (FIU), are working in stages on the construction of a large state-of-the-art Wall of Wind (WoW) facility to support research in the area of Wind Engineering. In this paper, the challenges of simulating hurricane winds for the WoW are presented and investigated based on a scale model study. Three wind profiles were simulated using airfoils, and/or adjustable planks mechanism with and without grids. Evaluations of flow characteristics were performed in order to enhance the WoW's flow simulation capabilities. Characteristics of the simulated wind fields are compared to the results obtained from a study using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and also validated via pressure measurements on small-scale models of the Silsoe cube building. Optimal scale of the test model and its optimal distance from the WoW contraction exit are determined - which are two important aspects for testing using an open jet facility such as the WoW. The main objective of this study is to further the understanding of the WoW capabilities and the characteristics of its test section by means of intensive tests and validations at small scale in order to apply this knowledge to the design of the full-scale WoW and for future wind engineering testing.

The mobile observation method, in which a meteorological drone observes while ascending, can observe the vertical profile of wind at 1 m-interval. In addition, since continuous flights are possible at time intervals of less than 30 minutes, high-resolution observation data can be obtained both spatially and temporally. In this study, we verify the accuracy of mobile observation data from meteorological drone (drone) and fill the spatio-temporal observation gaps in the lower atmosphere. To verify the accuracy of mobile observation data observed by drone, it was compared with rawinsonde observation data. The correlation coefficients between two equipment for a wind speed and direction were 0.89 and 0.91, and the root mean square errors were 0.7 m s^-1 and 20.93°. Therefore, it was judged that the drone was suitable for observing vertical profile of the wind using mobile observation method. In addition, we attempted to resolve the observation gaps in the lower atmosphere. First, the vertical observation gaps of the wind profiler between the ground and the 150 m altitude could be resolved by wind observation data using the drone. Secondly, the temporal observation gaps between 3-hour interval in the rawinsonde was resolved through a drone observation case conducted in Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do on October 13, 2022. In this case, the drone mobile observation data every 30-minute intervals could observe the low-level jet more detail than the rawinsonde observation data. These results show that the mobile observation data of the drone can be used to fill the spatio-temporal observation gaps in the lower atmosphere.

초경량 비행장치인 드론의 최대 허용 비행 고도는 지상 150m로 이는 난류의 영향을 받아 바람의 변동성이 강한 대기경계층 내에 존재한다. 또한 대기경계층 내에서의 바람 변동성은 지리적 위치에 따라 다른 특성을 가지므로 드론 관련 안전사고 방지를 위해서는 비행 지역에서의 각 고도의 바람 특성에 대한 명확한 이해가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 인천국제공항 인근에 위치한 항공기상관측장비 테스트베드에서 윈드라이다(WindMast 350M)를 사용하여 2022년 7월과 9월에 바람의 연직 구조 관측을 수행하였고, 이러한 관측된 바람 자료를 활용하여 드론의 안전비행을 위한 정보를 생산하는 분석 방안을 제시하였다. 우선 윈드라이다를 통해 수집된 바람 자료에 푸리에 변환 분석 방법을 사용하여 수평 풍속의 시간 규모 특징을 각 고도별로 살펴보았다. 또한 강수와 무강수 사례의 바람장의 스펙트럼으로부터 드론 비행에 중요한 바람의 시간 규모인 1시간 이하 규모의 수평 풍속의 분산을 분리하여 전체 규모에 대한 1시간 이하 규모의 기여도를 각 고도별로 확인하였다.

we applied Wind Field Module of PHRLM so that disaster prevention agency concerned can effectively estimate the possible strong wind damages by typhoon. In this study, therefore, we estimated wind speed at 300m level using 700hPa wind according to the research method by Franklin(2003), PHRLM(2003), and Vickery and Skerlj(2005). Then we calculated wind speed at 10m level using the estimated wind speed at 300m level, and finally, peak 3.second gust on surface. The case period is from 18LST August 31 to 03LST September 1, 2002, when the typhoon Rusa in 2002 was the most intense. Among disaster prediction models in the US, Wind Field Module of PHRLM in Florida was used for the 2002 typhoon Rusa case. As a result, peak 3.second gust on the surface increased $10\sim20%$ in the typhoon's 700hPa wind speed.

In order to support wind power development in Jejudo, the island of winds, the wind resource database KIER-WindJeju has been established by meteor-statistical analysis on met-mast measurements of KIER. The analysis includes tower shading, exposure category, wind profile exponent for wind speed extrapolation to hub height of wind turbine, and correlation matrix between neighboring sites to assist choice of appropriate reference site for long-term correlation. KIER-WindJeju will be provided as an add-on of Google $Earth^{TM}$ and will be used as a guideline of future wind resource assessment in Jejudo.

대형 풍력터빈은 지상 전단 흐름 내에서 회전하면서 주기적인 유입속도의 변동 조건 하에 운용된다. 수직 전단흐름에 의해서 경계층 내의 유입 속도는 최고점에서 속도가 최대가 되고 최저점에서 속도가 최소가 된다. 이러한 공간적인 풍속 분포는 풍력터빈 로터의 허브와 저속회전축에서 6분력 하중에 대한 주기적인 진동을 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 수직 전단 흐름 효과를 무시한 균일 흐름장과 지상 전단 흐름효과를 고려한 두 가지 경우에 대한 공력 하중을 비교분석하였다. 계산 결과로부터 허브에서의 추력과 굽힘모멘트, LSS의 굽힘모멘트가 크게 변동하는 결과를 보여주었다. 따라서 지상 전단흐름 효과를 반영한 공력 해석이 피로 해석을 위해서 반드시 필요함을 확인하였다.
