Abstract

The Power Augmented Ram(PAR) effect, which blows the down stream of the propellers into the underside of the wings and hence increases the pressure between the lower surface of the wings and the sea surface, is known significantly to enhance the performance of the WIG concept by reducing the take-off and landing speeds. The aerodynamic characteristics of a 20 passenger PARWIG are investigated by wind tunnel tests with the 1/20 scale model. The efflux of the forward mounted propellers are simulated by jet flows with a blower and duct system. The lift, drag, and pitch moment of the model with various ground clearances, angles of attack and flap angles are measured for the various jet velocities, jet nozzle angles, horizontal and vertical positions of the nozzle, and the nozzle diameters. The aerodynamic characteristics of the PARWIG due to these parametric changes are compared and pertinent discussions are included. It is shown that the proper use of the PAR can increase the lift coefficient of as much as up to 4.

이착륙 속력을 줄이기 위해 날개 밑으로 프로펠러 후류를 불어넣어 날개와 수면사이의 압력을 증가시키는 PAR(Power Augmented Ram) 효과는 해면효과익선의 성능을 크게 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서는 풍동실험을 통해 이러한 PARWIG(Wing in Ground)선의 공력특성을 연구하였으며 송풍기(blower)와 덕트(duct)를 사용한 제트분사를 프로펠러 후류로 대신하였다. 제트의 분사속도, 분사위치(수평 및 수직 방향), 분사각 및 덕트 직경 변화에 대해 20인승 PARWIG선의 1/25 축소 모형선의 지면과의 고도, 앙각 및 플랩각의 변화에 따른 양력, 항력 및 피치모멘트를 계측하여 공력특성을 비교하였다. 적절한 PAR효과의 사용은 양력을 크게 증가시키며 최대 4의 양력계수까지 얻을 수 있었다.
