온실의 환기연구를 위한 CFD 시뮬레이션 모델에 토마토 작물을 설계함에 있어서 우선적으로 작물군의 기하학적 형상 설계 및 이의 공기 항력계수를 찾고자 하였다. 작물군 형상을 간단한 형태의 공기투과성 매체로 설계하고 이의 공기저항의 물리적 특성을 풍동실험을 통하여 구하였다. 토마토 작물군과 작물군 사이에서 측정된 값과 작물군 중앙부에서 측정되어진 값들을 분리하여 계산하여 된 결과 공기저항값인 항력계수 $C_d 값은 각각 0.2551와 0.2621로 나타났다. 최종적으로 이들의 평균값인 0.26을 Fluent CFD 프로그램의 작물군 공기투과성 매체의 x, y, z축의 내부저항값으로 입력되었다. 이 실험결과를 이용하여 전산유체역학 (CFD)을 이용한 시설내 작물군이 존재하는 경우의 온실 환기연구를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있게 되었다. 또한 풍동을 이용한 작물의 공기저항 연구를 위한 실험방법을 개발하여 앞으로도 다양한 작물들을 대상으로 공기유동의 물리적 특성연구를 수행할 수 있게 되었다.

열차가 터널에 고속으로 진입하면, 압력파가 발생한다. 열차 선두부의 진입에 의하여 발생한 압축파는 터널을 따라 진행되어 터널 출구에서 반사되어 팽창파로 되돌아오며, 후미부의 진입에 의하여 발생한 팽창파도 터널을 따라 전파되어 터널 출구에서 압축파로 반사되어 터널 입구로 되돌아 온다. 열차 선두부 및 후미부에 의하여 발생한 이러한 압력파는 터널 입구 및 출구에서 각각 반사되어 터널 내부를 왕복하며, 차량 객실에 탑승한 승객들에게는 이명감을 일으키고, 터널 출구에서는 환경소음의 일종인 미기압파를 발생시킨다. 터널에서의 큰 압력 변동은 터널의 최적 단면적 설계에도 주요 인자로 고려되고 있으며, 차체의 반복 피로 하중으로 작용하므로, 이에 대한 정량적 및 정성적 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고정 격자계를 이용한 특성 해법을 개발하였으며, KTX를 이용한 실차 시험 결과와 비교하였으며, 해석 결과는 시험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

Wind field in mountainous regions demonstrates unique distribution characteristic as compared with the wind field of the flat area, wind load and wind effect are the key considerations in structural design of television towers situated in mountainous regions. The television tower to be constructed is located at the top of Xiushan Mountain in Nanjing, China. In order to investigate the impact of terrain factors of hilltops on wind loads, firstly a wind tunnel test was performed for the mountainous area within 800m from the television tower. Then the tower basal forces such as bending moments and shear strength were obtained based on high frequency force balance (HFFB) test. Based on the experiments, the improved method for determining the load combinations was applied to extract the response distribution patterns of foundation internal force and peak acceleration of the tower top, then the equivalent static wind loads were computed under different wind angles, load conditions and equivalent goals. The impact of terrain factors, damping ratio and equivalent goals on the wind load distribution of a television tower was discussed. Finally the equivalent static wind loads of the television tower under the 5 most adverse wind angles and 5 most adverse load conditions were computed. The experimental method, computations and research findings provide important references for the anti-wind design of high-rise structure built on hilltops.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of pressure developed on different faces of a 'Y' plan shape tall building using both numerical and experimental means. The experiment has been conducted in boundary layer wind tunnel located at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India for flow condition corresponding to terrain category II of IS:875 (Part 3) - 1987, at a mean wind velocity of 10 m/s. Numerical study has been carried out under similar condition using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package of ANSYS, namely ANSYS CFX. Two turbulence models, viz., $k-{\varepsilon}$ and Shear Stress Transport (SST) have been used. Good conformity among the numerical and experimental results have been observed with SST model yielding results of higher magnitude. Peculiar pressure distribution on certain faces has been observed due to interference effect. Furthermore, flow pattern around the model has also been studied to explain the phenomenon occurring around the model.

A particle tuned mass damper (PTMD) system is the combination of a traditional tuned mass damper (TMD) and a particle damper (PD). This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of the damping performance of a PTMD attached to the top of a benchmark model under wind load excitation. The length ratio of the test model is 1:200. The vibration reduction laws of the system were explored by changing some system parameters (including the particle material, total auxiliary mass ratio, the mass ratio between container and particles, the suspending length, and wind velocity). An appropriate analytical solution based on the concept of an equivalent single-unit impact damper is presented. Comparison between the experimental and analytical results shows that, with the proper use of the equivalent method, reasonably accurate estimates of the dynamic response of a primary system under wind load excitation can be obtained. The experimental and simulation results show the robustness of the new damper and indicate that the damping performance can be improved by controlling the particle density, increasing the amount of particles, and aggravating the impact of particles etc.

It is difficult to avoid measurement errors caused by the shading effect of the meteorological tower, which is used for wind resource assessment according to the IEC Standard. This paper presents a validation of the computational flow analysis results by comparing the results with the wind tunnel experiment conducted for Reynolds numbers in the $10^4$ to $10^5$ range, for the preparation of a database for use in an automatic method of correcting met-tower shading errors. A three-dimensional simulation employing the MP (Modified Production) $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model predicted a wind speed deficit in the wake region according to minimum wind speed ratio, within an MAE (Mean Absolute Error) of 2.4%.

최근들어 1km이상의 장대터널건설이 급증하는 추세이고 이로 인해 터널내 화재가 발생하면 터널내부는 외부와의 통로가 한정되고 고립된 공간이므로 화재로부터 발생되는 연기와 열로 대형인명사고가 발생 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 그러므로 고속도로 터널의 경우, 터널화재에 대비한 방재시스템을 구축하고 있지만 터널의 장대화, 화물운송차량의 대형화, 운반물류의 다양화에 따라 가연물의 규모, 터널내 기류등 다양화된 제반조건을 세부적으로 고려한 화염확산 형태 및 연기유동 메카니즘에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 터널 실물화재실험을 수행하여 화재발생시 터널내부의 온도분포, 풍속, 연기거동 특성을 분석하였다.

A contact strip shape of a high speed train pantograph system was optimized with CFD to increase the aerodynamic performance and stability of contact force, and the results were validated by a wind tunnel test. For design of the optimal contact strip shape, a Kriging model and genetic algorithm were used to ensure the global search of the optimal point and reduce the computational cost. To enhance the performance and robustness of the contact strip for high speed pantograph, the drag coefficient and the fluctuation of the lift coefficient along the angle of attack were selected as design objectives. Aerodynamic forces were measured by a load cell and HWA (Hot Wire Anemometer) was used to measure the Strouhal number of wake flow. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) was adopted to visualize the flow fields. The optimized contact strip shape was shown a lower drag with smaller fluctuation of vertical lift force than the general shaped contact strip. And the acoustic noise source strength of the optimized contact strip was also reduced. Finally, the reduction amount of drag and noise was assessed when the optimized contact strip was applied to three dimensional pantograph system.

A specially designed flat plate was mounted vertically over the axial line in the wind tunnel of the Pusan National University. Strain balances were mounted in the trailing part of the plate to measure the skin friction drag over removable insertions of $0.55{\times}0.25m^2$ size. A set of the insertions was designed and manufactured: 3 mm thick polished metal surface and three compliant surfaces. The compliant surfaces were manufactured of a silicone rubber Silastic$^{(R)}$ S2 (Dow Corning company). To modify the viscoelastic properties of the rubber, its composition was varied: 90% rubber + 10% catalyst (standard), 92.5% + 7.5% (weak), 85% + 15% (strong). Modulus of elasticity and the loss factor were measured accurately for these materials in the frequency range from 40 Hz to 3 kHz. The aging of the materials (variation of their properties) for the period of one year was documented as well. Along with the drag measurement using the strain balance, velocity and pressure were measured for different coating. The strong compliant coating achieved 5% drag reduction within a velocity range $20{\sim}40$ m/s while standard and weak coatings increased drag reduction.

In this paper, a wind-tunnel test is accomplished to investigate the roll characteristics of a variable-span wing flying inside a channel. The factors that affect the roll characteristics of the wing were identified by analyzing the measured data; accordingly, when the wing is flying without both the ground and sidewall effects, the asymmetric wing extension causes the roll moment. Both the ground and the sidewall can increase the roll moment, but when the wing is affected by both the ground and the sidewall, the roll moment does not increase as much as the case where the wing is only affected by the ground. Also, the aerodynamic characteristics of the flying wing inside a channel are the nonlinear function of the wing height and the gap between the wingtip and the sidewall, both of which should be considered in a study of the stability and the flight control of the wing-in-ground effect of the vehicle flying inside a channel.
