일반적으로 노즐 입구의 압력과 배압의 비가 어떤 임계값보다 큰 경우에 축소확대 노즐을 통하는 유동은 노즐목에서 초크하며, 노즐출구에서는 용이하게 초음속으로 된다. 노즐을 통하여 초음속으로 방출되는 제트유동에 관해서는 현재까지 많은 연구가 수행되었다. 이들 연구에 의하면 노즐 압력 비에 따라 노즐출구에서의 유동상태(즉 과팽창, 적정팽창, 부족팽창상태)가 결정되며, 노즐출구로부터 하류의 초음속 제트유동에서 발생하는 충격파 구조 및 위치, 제트경계의 구조 그리고 제트의 코어 등 유동의 기구가 비교적 상세하게 알려져 있다.(중략)

노즐로부터 방출되는 초음속 제트유동의 특성은 노즐의 공급압력과 배압의 비에 따라 결정된다 노즐 배압에 상대적인 노즐 출구면에서 발생하는 압력의 크기에 따라 제트 유동은 과팽창, 적정팽창, 그리고 부족팽창의 형태로 된다. 종래 주로 단면이 원형인 초음속 노즐로부터 방출되는 자유제트에 관하여 많은 연구가 수행되어, 제트 유동의 특성이 비교적 잘 알려져 있다. 이들 연구 결과에 의하면, 제트 내부에서 발생하는 충격파 시스템은 노즐 출구면에서 유동의 팽창상태에 의존하게 되며, 제트 유동은 주위의 기체를 흔입(entrainment)하여, 유동의 하류방향으로 제트 폭이 확대되며, 유속은 감소하게 된다.

Computational modeling and simulation can provide an effective predictive capability for the major features of the supersonic microjets. In the present study, computations using the axisymmetic, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations are applied to understand the supersonic microjet flow physics. The pressure ratio of the microjets is changed between 0.2 and 1.25 to obtain both the under- and over-expanded flows at the exit of the micronozzle. and Reynolds number Re is changed between 600 to 40000. For both laminar and turbulent microjet flows, sonic and supersonic microjets are simulated and compared with some experimental results available. Based on computational results, two microjets are discussed in terms of total pressure, jet decay and supersonic core length.

In the present paper, experimental and numerical fundamental analyses of the occurrence of lateral force in overexpanded thrust nozzle were carried out. Investigation of the lateral force fluctuations in an thrust nozzle for the shutdown transient was presented. Wall pressure distribution and Schlieren Photographs as NPR were presented. Pressure peak is observed during transition of RSS to FSS.

Numerical investigation was carried out on axisymmetric over-expanded rocket nozzle to predict flow fields of transitional shock separation patterns. The unsteady, compressible N-S equations with k-$\omega$ SST for turbulence model closure were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. Computed results were in good agreement with previous experimental works. It was found that strong side-loads were generated during the transition of RSS to FSS due to the development of a vortex ring in the inviscid jet core region. Hysteresis phenomenon exhibited by the shock-separation patterns was also found during the start-up and shut-down processes.

An experimental study on supersonic jets produced by supersonic nozzles at low operating pressure ratio is conducted. In the present experiments, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was employed to quantitatively specify the jet flowfield, and a color Schlieren optical method was applied to observe the same jets qualitatively. Convergent-divergent nozzles were used to generate the jet flow with design Mach numbers of 1.5 and 1.8. Nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs) were varied from 4 to 7. A good comparison of the jet size from the Schlieren images with the theoretical values is obtained. The obtained images clearly showed the major features of the under-expanded jet and over-expanded jet.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the operation characteristics of fluidic thrust vector control using injection of the control flow parallel to the main jet direction; Co-flow injection. The technique bases on the Coanda effect of flow. Both numerical and experimental studies were conducted to investigate operation parameters; flow structure, the jet deflection angle, and shock effects near the nozzle exit. While the total pressure of main jet is the range of 300 to 790 kPa, the total pressure of control flow varies from 120 to 200 kPa. The jet deflection angle and thrust coefficient have linear relation with the pressure ratio(PR) of main jet to control flow in 0.15 < PR < 0.4 but show their limit above PR = 0.4.

The shock wave and boundary layer interaction patterns in an over-expanded rocket nozzle are associated with the production of undesirable side-forces during the start-up and shut-down processes of the engine. In the present work, a computational study is carried out to investigate the effect of the transient nozzle pressure ratio (NPR) on the flow fields inside the nozzle. The unsteady, compressible, axisymmetric, Navier-Stocks equations with SST k-${\omega}$ turbulence model are solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR is varied from 2.0 to 10.0, in order to simulate the start-up and shut-down processes of the rocket engine. It is observed that the interaction patterns and the hysteresis phenomenon strongly depend on the time variation of NPR, leading to significantly different characteristics in the lateral forces.

The present work aims at visualization of the supersonic air jet flows discharged from C-D nozzles. In the present experiments, Prticle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was employed to specify the jet flow field quantitatively, and a color Schlieren optical method was applied to observe the same jets qualitatively. The $0.5{\mu}s$ duration of spark light source was used for Schlieren and it can be controled as $0.5{\mu}s$, $1{\mu}s$, $2{\mu}s$ and focusing mode. The convergent-divergent nozzles were used to generate the jet flow with the design Mach number of 2.0, 2.2. Nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs) were varied from 5 to 8. A good comparison of the jet size and shock location from the Schlieren images with the PIV quantitative values is obtained. The obtained images clearly showed the major features of the under-expanded jet, over-expanded jet, sound wave, turbulent eddies and so on.
