The increasing interest in the exploration of Mars stimulated the authors to study aerodynamic problems linked to space vehicles. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the aerodynamic effects of a flapped wing in collaborating with parachutes and retro-rockets to reduce velocity and with thrusters to control the spacecraft attitude. 3-D computations on a preliminary configuration of a blunt-cylinder, provided with flapped fins, quantified the beneficial influence of the fins. The present paper is focused on Aerodynamics of a wing section (NACA-0010) provided with a trailing edge flap. The influence of the flap deflection was evaluated by the increments of aerodynamic force and leading edge pitching moment coefficients with respect to the coefficients in clean configuration. The study was carried out by means of two Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) codes (DS2V/3V solving 2-D/3-D flow fields, respectively). A DSMC code is indispensable to simulate complex flow fields on a wing generated by Shock Wave-Shock Wave Interaction (SWSWI) due to the flap deflection. The flap angle has to be a compromise between the aerodynamic effectiveness and the increases of aerodynamic load and heat flux on the wing section lower surface.

The applications of CFD in the design process of a transonic civil transport at Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) are outlined. Three Navier-Stokes solvers, developed at KARI with different grid approaches, are used to predict the aerodynamic coefficients and solve the flowfield of various configurations. Multi-block, Chimera, and unstructured grids are the approaches implemented. The accuracy of the codes is verified for the transonic flow about RAE wing/fuselage configuration. The multi-block code is used to provide the detailed data on the flowfield around a wall interference model with different test section sizes which will be used in establishing the wall interference correction method. The subsonic and transonic flowfields about K100-04A, one of the configurations of a 100-seater transport developed by KARI and Korea Commercial Aircraft Development Consortium (KCDC), are computed to predict the aerodynamic coefficients. The results for the subsonic flow are compared with those of wind tunnel test, and the agreement is found to be excellent. The interference effect of nacelle installation on the wing of K100-04A is also investigated using the unstructured grid method, and about 10% reduction in wing lift is observed. The accuracy of the three developed codes is verified, and they are used as an efficient tool in the design process of a transonic transport.

Flutter suppression of a wing/store model is investigated. An aircraft wing with a store is modeled as a 2-D typical section. Unsteady aerodynamics of the wing/store model are computed by using Doublet Hybrid Method(DHM) in the frequency-domain, and are approximated by Minimum-state(MS) approximation. LQG controller is used to suppress the flutter of the wing/store model and the aeroelastic characteristics of the closed-loop system are investigated. The flutter characteristics of the wing/store model are improved and the flutter speed is increased up to about 16 ％.

The flutter characteristics of the wing/store model are improved and the flutter speed is increased up to about 24 %.

This research computes the viscous flow field and aerodynamics around the model of a commercial passenger airplane, Boeing 747-400, which cruises in transonic speed. The configuration was realized through the reverse engineering based on the photo scanning measurement. In results, the pressure coefficients at the several wing section on the wing surface of the airplane was described and discussed to obtain the physical meaning. The lift coefficient increased almost linearly up to $17^{\circ}$. Here the maximum lift occurred at $18^{\circ}$ according to the angle of attack. And the minimum drag is expected at $-2^{\circ}$. The maximum lift coefficient occurred at the Mach number 0.89, and the drag coefficient rapidly increased after the Mach number of 0.92. Also shear-stress transport model predicts slightly lower aerodynamic coefficients than other models and Chen's model shows the highest aerodynamic values. The aerodynamic performance of the airplane elements was presented.

전진익 항공기는 평익 항공기와 비교하였을 때 우월한 공력 특성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 전진익 항공기는 종래의 주익에 비하여 낮은 발산 속도를 갖고 있게 되고, 이는 설계 단계에서 필수적으로 고려하여야 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 공력탄성학적 테일러링에 대한 연구가 이루어졌다. 적층 판의 최적의 적층 배열을 찾기 위해선 반복적인 계산이 필요하고 이를 위하여 모델링이 용이하고 계산 효율성이 우수한 1차원 보 축소 해석을 수행한다. 해석을 위하여 다물체 동역학 프로그램인 DYMORE를 사용하였고 이를 해석해와 비교하였다. 또한 NACA0015 형상의 다중 셀 구조 단면을 해석하기 위하여 상용 프로그램 VABS를 사용하였고 전진익 항공기의 날개를 보다 현실적으로 해석하기 위하여 oblique 기능을 사용하였다. 공력탄성학적 테일러링을 통하여 얻은 최적의 발산 속도는 238.9m/s이고 이는 기존에 동일 중량, 단일 방향으로 적층한 날개에 비하여 42% 가량 개선된 수치이다. 하지만 공력탄성학적 테일러링이 부주의하게 적용할 경우 기존 단일 적층 날개에 비하여 오히려 감소된 발산 속도를 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다.
