    This study proposes a new concept of a heat exchanger for cooling of Electro-Optical Tracking System applied to weapon systems and numerically analyzes its heat transfer performance. The proposed heat exchanger divides into an internal system, which includes a heat source, and an external system that receives external air. Both systems feature a symmetrical structure and comprise an Dual impeller, 14 heat pipe, 14 heat pipe bracket, and casing. A center plate is installed to serve both as a complete separator of the systems. To analyze the heat transfer performance, a numerical study is conducted using the Generalized k-omega turbulence model. The rotation speed of the impeller is set between 7,000 and 9,000 rev/min. The fluid flow into the heat exchanger by the rotation of the impeller. The fluid is separated by the heat pipe, forming a recirculation area. The results show that as the impeller rotational speed increases, the heat transfer rate improves by an average of 13.71% and 15.15% in the internal and external systems, respectively. The heat exchanger proposed in this study is anticipated to serve as foundational research for the cooling of Electro-Optical Tracking System in extreme environments in the future. - COLLAPSE

    In this study, a biomimetic tubercle shape was applied to the trailing edge of a centrifugal pump impeller in the purpose of increasing pump efficiency. Shape optimization was conducted to maximize composite pump efficiency, and the effect of flow control of the tubercle on performance improvement was analyzed. The shape optimization was carried out in two stages: sine wave shape of the tubercle was optimized, and based on the results, separate height of the tubercle was adjusted via the second optimization process. Application of the tubercle to the trailing edge increased the efficiency and reduced the turbulent kinetic energy compared to the original pump. Depending on the sinusoidal design parameters, the efficiency increased and TKE decreased as the height and number of tubercles increased. The optimization results of separate height tubercle showed that the specific tubercle has relatively larger effect on the efficiency. - COLLAPSE

    This research presents a numerical investigation of the open water performance of a pumpjet propulsor. The Single Blade Passage method was employed to simulate the rotational motion of the pumpjet's rotor. This method, which involves the direct rotation of the rotational area, simulates the rotational motion effectively. Since it constructs the domain using only a single blade and its surrounding grid, this method is cost-effective. The study applied this method to a pumpjet propulsor designed by KRISO. The present numerical results were validated with the results of the open water test performed in the large cavitation tunnel at KRISO. Changes in the thrust and torque of pumpjet propulsor according to advance ratio were analyzed by using SNUFOAM, which was open-source toolkit CFD code based on the OpenFOAM. The flow around a pumpjet propulsor were compared with previous studies. - COLLAPSE

    When an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) encounters cloud layers with high humidity and sub-freezing temperatures, such as ice particles or supercooled water droplets, the UAV's surface can undergo icing. Icing accretion on an aircraft can lead to various issues, including reduced stall angle and decreased controllability, which can potentially result in a direct threat to safe flight. In this study, a comparative analysis was conducted on the ice accretion occurring on UAV under the non-SLD condition, which is the continuous maximum(CM) condition of FAR Appendix C, and the freezing rain SLD condition of Appendix O by computational simulation. More ice is accreted in the SLD condition than in the non-SLD condition, but aerodynamic performance is reduced less than non-SLD condition. This is because the ice shape of SLD conditions is created streamlined along the UAV surface. In the future, this study can be extended to the design of ice protection systems and utilized in icing certification for UAVs in SLD conditions. - COLLAPSE

    The stability and operational procedures of UAM aircraft are validated using a flight simulator that simulates various flight scenarios in a virtual environment. The development of flight simulators requires the construction of an aerodynamic database(DB) reflecting the characteristics of various UAM configurations. In this study, a time-efficient approach for constructing an aerodynamic DB of lift-cruise type aircraft was defined. This approach applied the concept of the component build-up method to the design of the aerodynamic DB structure, with the DB classified into forward flight and hover flight mode. Most of the aerodynamic data were obtained using rapid analysis tools that reduced the time costs. The accuracy and feasibility of the aerodynamic DB were evaluated by comparing the results of RANS-based computational fluid dynamics using the sliding mesh method and moving reference frame. In addition, based on this comparison, the need to improve the aerodynamic database was reviewed and discussed. - COLLAPSE

    For urban air mobility(UAM) technology to be commercialized, it is necessary to utilize flight simulators to evaluate the stability and operational feasibility of UAM aircraft under various urban scenarios and environmental conditions. This study presents the construction of an aerodynamic database(DB) of multicopter type UAM aircraft for flight simulator application based on the component build-up method and time-efficient aerodynamic analysis method. The aerodynamic DB consists of an airframe DB and a propeller DB, and is also divided into hovering mode and forward flight mode according to the aircraft operating conditions for efficient data generation and construction. The aerodynamic data of the airframe DB were obtained using RANS-based computational fluid dynamics, and the propeller performance data were obtained using a rapid analysis tool based on blade element momentum theory. The reliability and feasibility of the aerodynamic database were evaluated for several flight conditions by comparing it with the results of high-fidelity computational analysis for the full configuration. - COLLAPSE

    We aim at analyzing the mechanism of passive flow control by a biomimetic tubercle shape for impeller trailing edge(TE) in a centrifugal pump and the effect of inflow conditions. A shape optimization process of tubercle heights was performed for two different inflow conditions that approximate the conditions of a three-stage centrifugal pump. The composite efficiency of the pump increased by up to 0.77%. Compared to the streamwise periodic condition, the inflow-outflow condition showed larger increase in the pump efficiency and decrease of the turbulent intensity. Among different tubercles along TE, a specific tubercle had a relatively large effect on the results. Vortex structures were examined using the Q-criterion and swirling strength. It was observed that the orientation of the vortices behind TE changed from spanwise to streamwise by the tubercle TE. Counter-rotating streamwise vortices were generated at the top and bottom of each tubercle, and the interaction of the vortex pair led to vortex breakdown, resulting in a decrease in the turbulent intensity. - COLLAPSE

    As artificial intelligence (AI) technology gains popularity, interest in using AI as a new method is also growing in the field of aerodynamics. However, AI models based on deep neural networks have the drawback of being difficult to understand in terms of their internal mechanisms. Consequently, there has been an increase in attempts to interpret AI models using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) technique. This study focuses on ensuring the reliability of AI models when applied to aerodynamic problems. To achieve this, attention-based XAI was utilized to predict shock waves on airfoils. Also, to enhance the fidelity and stability of the attention mechanism, multi-head attention method using attention in parallel was employed. Additionally, a new metrices based on entropy were proposed to evaluate the fidelity and stability of XAI. This demonstrated that the application of multi-head attention improved the performance of XAI. - COLLAPSE

    In this study, the rotor blade geometry of proposed forward-curved centrifugal fan was designed considering two performance metrics: aerodynamic efficiency and aeroacoustic noise. Baseline rotor blade geometry was modeled in two-dimensional domain with periodic boundary conditions. For optimal design of the rotor blade, the mesh morphing method which enables variable shapes was introduced with Simplex algorithm. Among the designing process, noise generated by rotation of the rotor blade has been predicted with turbulent viscosity. Derived three different blade geometries with mesh morphing method were further investigated with three dimensional calculation to reflect the effects by volute scroll and bellmouth geometry. The results made with different objective functions have been compared and assessed in quantitative and qualitative ways. - COLLAPSE

    The wall roughness effects on unsteady unstable partial cavitation flow around NACA66 hydrofoil are numerically investigated using the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model with the LES turbulence model. The wall roughness in the LES is modeled with Harmonic Blending wall functions based on the roughness Reynolds number. The roughness is applied to the three different zones of the suction side of the hydrofoil with different heights according to the non-dimensional roughness height. The numerical results show the correlations between the roughness effects and cavity behavior. The increased surface roughness leads to higher turbulent velocity. The turbulence destabilizes the sheet cavitation, leading to more rapid cavitation collapse or shedding. As a result, increased roughness surface leads to higher shedding frequency. - COLLAPSE

    In alkaline water electrolysis(AWE), hydrogen bubbles are generated through electrochemical reactions involving the interaction between continuous and dispersed phases. In this work, a multiphase numerical model for AWE is developed to simulate the evolution of hydrogen bubble associated with the transport of dissolved hydrogen in liquid water. The numerical results show that bubble nucleation under supersaturation conditions of dissolved hydrogen gas is a critical parameter in determining gas evolution in AWE. The effects of ambient temperature and current density on bubble evolution are investigated. As current density increases and bubble resistance rises, the ohmic overpotential is observed to dominate over the activation overpotential. - COLLAPSE
