In this study, a numerical analysis was performed as steady-state analysis to investigate the effect of interference between the propellers of the hexa-copter. As the distance increases, there is little change in thrust, but when a propeller close to the reference propeller rotates, it was confirmed that the thrust decreased due to the interference effect. Unsteady state analysis was performed to confirm the influence of the hexa-copter fuselage. If there is a fuselage, the thrust was predicted to increase by about 4.97% due to the ground effect. If the design parameters are established considering the effect of the fuselage of the hexa-copter, it is expected to be used for basic design and application design in the future.

This study analyzed the wake characteristics of the rim-driven propeller (RDP) used in an underwater robot. For underwater robots to perform specific missions, not only propulsion characteristics but also wake characteristics must be considered. In this study, a blade was designed based on NAC 0012 with a symmetrical cross-section. The RDP was hubless with three or four blades. The influence of both the free water surface and the bottom was considered, and the wake was measured using a particle image velocimetry in the advance ratio of 0.2 to 1. Model 1 showed symmetrical wakes in the entire advance ratio section. Model 2 showed asymmetric wakes due to the influence of the free water surface and the bottom at low advance ratio.

The marine structures has a staggered array depending on the geographical characteristics of the surroundings. This wake flow occurs in the gap of such a staggered arrangement has a heavy influence on the vessels and structures. Also, Study on fluid flow around simple objects has contributed greatly to solve many engineering problems that occur in a variety of industries such as real fluid machinery, civil engineering, environment and etc. This study has progressed with changing aspect ratio and position of model by using PIV. It shows that speed reduction ratio is increased with the large movement of upper model and 1:2 aspect ratio.

In this study, we have modeled the rear side of the HVAC diffuser with square prism and tried to investigate the influence of a wake flow by PIV and a numerical analysis using computational fluid dynamics based on steady-state Navier-Stokes equation and standard k-ε model. A commercial CFD program, FLUENT, is used on the analysis. The wake is generated by a square prism, which is installed at the divergent flow. The results show that a fluid are distributed up and down directions of prism, and the recirculation regions are decreased.

Flow control of flow field is essential to design efficient elements relating to fluid machineries. In this study, the flow characteristics of rectangular prism with throughflow at different aspect ratio was investigated to flow control. A particle image velocimetry technique was employed to obtain detailed measurements at throughflow-velocity-based Reynolds numbers. As a results, the throughflow disturbs the development of vertical velocity component and decreased the vortex size.

본 연구에서는 트랜섬 선미 후류 난류유동 특성을 알아보기 위하여 Re = 3.5×103 및 Re = 7.0×103에서 2-프레임 그레이레벨 상호상관 PIV기법을 적용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 트랜섬 선미의 형상은 선저와 트랜섬이 이루는 각을 기준으로 45˚(모델 A), 90˚(모델 B) 및 135˚(모델 C)로 구분하여 적용하였다. 모델의 침수깊이는 40 mm로 자유수면과 접하도록 설치하였다. 난류유동을 평균하여 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력, 난류운동에너지에 대한 통계적 유동정보를 제공하였다. 난류강도는 자유수면과 모델의 하부 박리유동과의 상호작용으로 강하게 작용하며, 레이놀즈 응력과 난류운동에너지는 모델 C형(Raked transom)에서 낮은 분포가 나타났다.

In this study, the velocity distribution according to upper side coner shape of underwater construction with rectangular cylinder was measured with PIV method and the wake flow characteristics was considered. According to the coner shape, the flow pattern of wake flow was also differed greatly and the step-shaped coner of cut-off ratio B/H=0.06 was similar in the slope shape in result.

무딘 모양 물체의 대표적 형상인 정사각주의 후류에서의 와류 형성 분석을 위한 스트롤수 측정 실험에서 실험 방법 및 결과의 신뢰성 확보를 위하여 실험계획법과 불확실성 해석을 수행하였다. 스트롤수는 정사각주와 지면과의 간극을 변화시키면서 열선유속계를 사용하여 측정하였다. 정사각주가 지면과 충분히 떨어져 있다면, 후류의 어느 곳에서 스트롤수를 측정하더라도 신뢰할 수 있다. 그러나 정사각주가 지면과 가까워지면 와류가 부분적으로 약하게 형성되기 때문에 스트롤수는 후류의 일정한 영역에서만 측정할 수 있으며, 신뢰할 수 있는 값을 얻기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 요인배치법과 분산분석을 이용하여 5% 유의수준에서 신뢰할 수 있는 스트롤수 측정 구역을 확보하였다. 마지막으로 불확실성 해석을 실시하여 실험 환경 및 계측 장비로부터의 오차 요인을 분석하였으며 스트롤수에 대한 95% 신뢰구간을 구하였다.
