Abstract The results of previous studies have proved that manufacture variations can cause a noticeable influence on compressor aerodynamic performance. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the influence rules and mechanisms of manufacture variations on supersonic/transonic blades aerodynamic performance. The variations used in this study were measured from some newly manufactured high-pressure compressors. In the present study, several blade sections with different design Mach number conditions are selected for further statistical analysis of measured deviation data. Therefore, some systematic errors in the deviation data have been revealed. Based on these data, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method has been used to obtain the aerodynamic performances of a large number of the measured blade elements. And then, the analysis of the influence rules of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in different Mach number conditions has been carried out. The present results indicate that the effects of manufacture variations on blade aerodynamic performance in the lower Mach number (0.8) condition are much more significant comparing to that in the higher Mach number (0.9∼1.2) conditions. Based on this, influence mechanisms of manufacture variations on positive incidence range and negative incidence range have been analyzed. The differences of influence mechanisms in different Mach number conditions are the focus of research.

In marine transportation, aerodynamic performance is important for the ships, especially for the small passenger fast ships. It has affected the service speed, air resistance acting on hull, power energy as well as roll, pitch, yaw and stability of the ships. Moreover, the aerodynamic performance also directly affects the passengers, captains or employments who work on the ships. For a bad aerodynamic performance hull shape, it may make an accident in marine transportation. In this paper, the authors present a study on effect of hull shape on aerodynamic performance of a small passenger fast ship by using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Several hull forms with different shapes are proposed and computed to show their aerodynamic performances. From the comparison between different CFD results of the ships, the effects of hull shape on aerodynamic performances of the ships  are understood.

In this paper, we present a research on applying a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code to determine interaction effect between hull and accommodation on wind drag of a container ship. For the high superstructure and large windward area ships such as container, wind drag acting on hull accounts for a large amount of total resistance. To clearly find aerodynamic performance and interaction effects on wind drag of a container ship, a full scale 1,200 TEU container has been used as a reference model. From results of comparison in the two computed cases of hull with and without accommodation, the interaction effects between hull and accommodation on aerodynamic performance and wind drag have been investigated. The targets of the paper has proposed a new solution to improve aerodynamic performances and reduce wind drag acting on the ship by reducing interaction effects between hull and accommodation.

AbstractNumerical simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is one way of predicting airflow characteristics on the model. This method is widely used because it is relatively inexpensive and faster in getting desired results compared with performing direct testing. The correctness of a computational simulation output is highly dependent on the input and how it was processed. In this paper, simulation is done on Onera M6 Wing, to investigate the effect of a turbulence model’s application on the accuracy of the computational result. The choice of Onera M6 Wing as a simulation’s model is due to its extensive database of testing results from various wind tunnels in the world. Among Turbulence models used are Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, and SST.Keywords: CFD, fluent, Model, Turbulence, Onera M6, Spalart-Allmaras, K-Epsilon, K-Omega, SST.AbstraksSimulasi numerik dengan menggunakan metode Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) merupakan salah satu cara untuk memprediksi karakteristik suatu aliran udara yang terjadi pada model.

The contribution from the base drag due to the sub-atmospheric pressure is significant. It can be more than two-thirds of the net drag. There is a need to increase the base pressure and hence decrease the base drag. This research examines the effect of Mach Number on base pressure. To accomplish this objective, it controls the efficacy in an enlarged duct computed by the numerical approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis. This experiment was carried out by considering the expansion level and the aspect cavity ratio. The computational fluid dynamics method is used to model supersonic motion with the sudden expansion, and a convergent-divergent nozzle is used. The Mach number is 1.74 for the present study, and the area ratio is 2.56. The L/D ratio varied from 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, and the simulated nozzle pressure ratio ranged from 3 to 11. The two-dimensional planar design used commercial software from ANSYS. The airflow from a Mach 1.74 convergent-divergent axi-symmetric nozzle expanded suddenly into circular ducts of diameters 17 and 24.5 mm with and without annular rectangular cavities. The diameter of the duct is taken D=17mm and D=24.5mm. The C-D nozzle was developed and modeled in the present study: K-ε standard wall function turbulence model was used with the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated. The result indicates that the base pressure is impacted by the expansion level, the enlarged duct size, and the passage’s area ratio.

This paper presents the investigation of aerodynamic performance of inboard Store-X and Store-Y configurations on the X-plane aircraft model through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The X-plane and Store-Y represent the default store and pylon integration while Store-X provides a possibility for other types of store to be integrated. These stores are loosely based upon the two most commonly used by the western and eastern blocks. The resultant lift, drag and moment forces are of interest in order to observe their impact with respect to the two different stores configurations. The finding shows that the aerodynamic impact with respect to Store-X installation on the inboard pylon station is insignificant when compared to default system, hence offers the safety of delivering the Store-X from the X-plane aircraft.

In order to enhance the operational safety of tram vehicle and reduce the wear of guide wheels mounted on the vehicle, it is necessary to remove particles such as dusts and silts from tramway surface. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of street vacuum sweeper for sucking up dusts from tramway surface. A numerical model was developed based on dusts removal process. Under different pressure drops across the pickup head of the street vacuum sweeper, the flow field and dusts removal efficiency were analyzed with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. The numerical results show that a higher pressure drop can improve the airflow field in the pickup head and results in higher dusts removal efficiency, but higher pressure drop definitely need more energy. Therefore, a balance should be taken into consideration.

An advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling design method using a numerical viscous/inviscid coupling procedure has been developed. The method is employed to analytically evaluate the performance of various combinations of high pressure vaneaxial fan rotor, stator and diffuser geometries. The procedures used in the CFD design method ensure a free-vortex blading, a separation-free profile, and a configuration with optimum rotor-stator interaction. Two test fans which have aerodynamic performance and geometrical characteristics close to the desired fan operating range are used to provide code verification and empirical information for the total design effort. A design example is presented. Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic test data will be presented in a later paper.
