Abstract

In present study, a supersonic inlet for dual mode ramjets or RBCC/TBCC engines with a wide range of flight Mach numbers is designed. A conical variable inlet configuration is chosen for the inlet design. Geometric relations with angles of compression cones and conical shock waves are used for the design of the inlet configuration. The performance of the supersonic inlet is confirmed by the numerical analysis. The capture area ratio is maintained around 100% from Mach 3 to 8 conditions.

본 연구에서는 이중램제트 엔진 및 로켓/터빈 기반 복합사이클 엔진에의 활용을 위해 Mach 3에서부터 Mach 8까지 넓은 마하수 영역에서 적용이 가능한 초음속흡입구의 형상설계를 수행하고 그 설계방법론에 대해 고찰하였다. 축대칭 가변흡입구를 기본 개념으로 중심콘 각도 및 경사충격파 각도를 이용한 기하학적 관계식으로부터 흡입구 형상을 설계하였으며, 100%에 준하는 포획면적비를 갖도록 하였다. 또한 전산해석결과로부터 Mach 3~8까지 조건에서 흡입구 중심콘에서 발생한 충격파가 올바르게 배치되는 것을 확인하였다.
