Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulations have been carried out to study how coolant injection conditions influence the cooling efficiency and projectile ejection performance in a mixture-gas ejection system (or gas-steam launch system). The 3D single-phase computational model was verified using a 1D model constructed with reference to the previous research and then a two-phase flow computation simulating coolant injection on to hot gas was performed using a DPM (Discrete Phase Model). As a result of varying the coolant flow rate and number of injection holes, cooling efficiency was improved when the number of injection holes were increased. In addition, the change of the coalescence frequency and spatial distribution of coolant droplets caused by the injection condition variation resulted in a change of the droplet diameter, affecting the evaporation rate of coolant. The evaporation was found to be a critical factor in the design optimization of the ejection system by suppressing the pressure drop while the temperature decreases inside the breech.

냉각제 분사조건이 변화할 때 혼합가스 사출시스템 (또는 가스-스팀 발사체계) 냉각효율 및 발사체 사출성능의 변화를 확인하기 위해 3차원 수치모사를 수행하였다. 선행연구를 참조하여 구축한 1차원 모델을 통해 3차원 단상(single-phase) 계산모델을 검증한 후, Discrete Phase Model을 활용하여 고온의 기체에 냉각제 분사를 모사한 이상(two-phase) 유동 계산을 수행하였다. 냉각제 유량과 분사구 개수를 각각 변화시키면서 계산을 수행한 결과, 분사구 개수를 증가시켰을 경우 냉각효율이 보다 개선되었다. 또한 분사조건에 따라 냉각제 액적 서로간의 coalescence 발생 빈도 및 공간분포 변화가 발생하여 액적의 직경이 달라졌고, 이는 냉각제 증발률에 영향을 미쳤다. 냉각제의 증발은 breech 내부의 온도를 감소시키는 반면에 압력감소를 억제하여 사출시스템 최적화 설계에 있어 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.
