Abstract

Swirl injection induces not only the increase in fuel regression rate but also the reduction of combustion pressure oscillation. This acts, in turn, to stabilize combustion process. Thus, this study primarily focuses on the change in flow structure in the main chamber by swirl injection. Then examining the change in flow structure was done to understand the physical process for stabilizing combustion. In the results, the application of swirl injection could suppress the generation of p' and q' in 500Hz band and could shift the phase difference and cross correlation. Further investigations with combustion visualization also show that the development of helical motion near surface region affects the small-sized vortex generation and shedding yielding combustion stabilization eventually.

스월은 연료의 후퇴율 증가뿐 아니라 연소 압력의 진동을 감소시키며, 하이브리드 로켓의 연소안정화에 기여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 스월 산화제 분사에 의한 주연소실 내부의 유동 구조의 변화를 이해하고 연소안정화의 물리적 과정을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 결과에 의하면, 스월은 주연소실의 유동 구조를 변화시켜 후연소실의 500Hz 대역 p'과 q'의 발생을 억제할 뿐 아니라 두 진동의 위상차를 변화하여 상호결합(coupling)에 영향을 주고 있음을 확인했다. 또한 후연소실 화염 가시화를 통하여 스월에 의한 선회운동량의 증가로 와류발생과 흘림 등이 변화하여 연소안정화에 기여하는 것으로 분석됐다.
