Abstract

A numerical analysis of unsteady motion in solid rocket motors with a nozzle has been conducted. The numerical formulation including modified $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model treats the complete conservation equation for the gas phase and the one-dimensional equations in the radial direction for the condensed phase. A fully coupled implicit scheme based on a dual time-stepping integration algorithm has been adopted to solve the governing equations. After obtaining a steady state solution, pulse and periodic oscillations of pressure are imposed at the head-end to simulate acoustic oscillations of a travelling-wave motion in the combustion chamber. Various steady and unsteady state features in the combustion chamber of a rocket motor has been analyzed as results of numerical calculations.

고체 추진 로켓 내부 연소실의 비정상 유동을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 완전 보존식을 이용하여 2 차원 축-대칭 연소실 안의 연소 불안정을 해석하기 위한 수치 기법을 구성하였는데 비정상 유동을 해석하기 위한 수정된 $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ 난류 모델이 사용되었다. 이산화한 지배 방정식은 연관된 경계 조건을 포함하여 dual time-stepping 방법으로 시적분 하였다. 정상 상태의 계산을 기반으로 연소실 내의 천이 압력파의 비정상 상태를 수치적으로 모사하기 위하여 압력 펄스 및 압력 변동을 연소실 상단에 부과하였다. 로켓 모터 연소실 내의 다양한 정상 상태 및 비정상 상태의 특성을 계산 및 해석하였다.
