The performance of ramjet engine is closely associated with a supersonic intake. In this study, experiments and computational simulations were conducted to observe the internal flow characteristics of the supersonic intake. The supersonic intake which have self-starting characteristics was designed and manufactured. The flow characteristics was analyzed from the experimental results using the supersonic wind tunnel testing and computational results using RANS equation and Menter's SST turbulence model. The detailed visualization results were suggested for the pseudo-shock wave of stable operations and for the inlet buzz phenomenon of unstable operations.

채널 내부에 장애물이 존재하는 유동 형태는 다양한 공학적 문제에서 나타나고 있으므로 여러 가지 형상 및 유동 조건에 따른 유동 특성 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 장애물의 형상을 일정한 크기의 원형 실린더로 설정하고 실린더는 위아래 채널 벽 중앙에 위치하도록 하여 2차원 채널 내에 원형 실린더가 존재하는 경우에 대하여 CFD연구를 수행하였다. 실린더와 위아래 채널 벽면과의 거리를 변화시켜 각각의 거리에 대해 유동 재부착 길이, 유동의 주기성, 항력계수 등의 유동 특성을 관찰하였다. 연구결과 각 간격[실린더벽면과 채널벽면간의 거리(G)/실린더지름(d)]이 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 15에 따른 재 부착 지점(Reattachment Length)은 채널 벽면이 실린더로부터 멀어질수록 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 유동 재부착 지점에 수렴해간다는 것을 확인하였다. 즉 거리가 멀어질수록 벽면 영향이 줄어든다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각각의 경우에 대해 항력계수 값을 구하였고, 이를 완전히 열린 유동장에서의 항력계수 값과 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 벽면으로부터의 떨어진 거리가 5부터 벽면의 효과가 줄어들어 10이상이 되었을 때부터 그 영향이 아주 미미하다는 것을 확인하였다.

An experimental study on convection heat transfer characteristics from a heated tube to an oscillating flow has been carried out, . This problem is of particular interest in the design of heat exchangers in Stirling cycle machines. Experimental system has been developed to measure temporal variations of temperature inside a heater tube during oscillating modes in a Stirling cycle machine. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rates on the oscillating frequency as well as the swept volume ratio and the mean pressure of a Stirling cycle machine is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature become nearly sinusoidal. The amplitude of temperature variation in the core of the tube is much more substantial than that near the tube wall, whereas the reverse is true for pulsating flows. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the oscillating frequency or oscillating amplitude or the mean pressure in a tube is increased.

The concept design of joint part between propellant tank and feeding line for launch vehicle has been performed with the case study of oversea launch vehicles. we carried out, for the several configurations, numerical flow analyses to find the joint configuration which promises high flow uniformity at the outlet. There were a little difference in the numerical results, because the length of feeding lines are sufficiently long to stabilize the flow field.

Coil embolization technique has been used recently to treat cerebral aneurysms. When a giant or a multilobular aneurysm are treated by roils, filling an aneurysm sac completely with coils is difficult and partial blocking of an aneurysm sac is inevitable. Blood flow characteristics, which nay affect the embolization process of an aneurysm sac, are changed by the locations of coils for the Partially blocked aneurysms. Blood flow fields are also influenced by the geometry of a parent vessel. In order to suggest the coil locations effective for aneurysm embolization, the blood flow fields of lateral aneurysm models were analyzed for the different coil locations and parent vessel geometries. Three dimensional pulsatile flow fields are analyzed by numerical methods considering non-Newtonian viscosity characteristics of blood. Flow rate into the aneurysm sac (inflow rate) and wall shear stress, which are suspected as flow dynamic factors influencing aneurysm embolization, are also calculated. Inflow rates were smaller and the low wall shear stress zones were larger in the neck blocked models compared to the dome blocked models. Smaller inflow and larger low wall shear stress zones in the distal neck blocked model imply that the distal neck should be the effective coil locations for aneurysm embolization.

The primary function of centrifugal compressor volute is to flow from the impeller and diffuser to the pipe system. The strength of the scroll vortex and flow pattern in the volute vary with the operating point. This is largely caused by the interaction between the impeller and the volute flow fields. The recirculation flow around the tongue and the scroll vortex can be used to understand the characteristics of the volute flow at off-design points. The present study aims to find the characteristics of a flow pattern in the diffuser and volute of a centrifugal compressor from the rectangular cross section of the volute. Measurements are carried out using PIV. The results obtained in this study show that the separation region around the tongue is reduced and that the recirculation flow increases as the flow coefficient decreases.

본 연구에서는 환기 특성에 근거한 축소법칙의 유효성을 평가하기 위해 실규모 및 2/5 축소 구획에 대한 화재를 FDS를 이용하여 모사하고 기존의 실험 결과 및 해석 결과 상호간에 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 실규모 및 축소 모형에 대한 해석 결과를 비교할 때 구획 내부 유동 형태 등에 있어서 다소간의 차이를 보였으나 화염의 분출 거동 및 열유동 분포 등의 거시적인 특성에 대해서는 유사한 결과를 보여주었다.

Characteristics of cryogenic single jet flow were investigated. Liquid nitrogen was injected into a high-pressure chamber and formed single jet. Ambient condition around jet was changed from subcritical to superctirical condition of nitrogen. Injector geometries also were changed. A shape of the jet and core diameter were measured by flow visualization technique, and core spreading angle was calculated. Flow instability was found at atmospheric pressure condition. As ambient pressure increased, core spreading angle was increased and maintained after certain pressure.

The structure and dynamics of multiple shock waves are studied numerically using a finite volume solver for a model with nozzle exit Mach number of 1.75. At first, the shock variation based on images were analyzed using a Matlab program then later to the wall static pressure variation. The amplitude and frequency variation for multiple shock waves are analyzed. The cross-correlation between the shock location suggests that the first and the second shocks are well correlated while the other shocks show a phase lag in the oscillation characteristics. The rms values of pressure fluctuations are maximum at the shock locations while the other parts in the flow exhibit a lower value os standard deviation.

The vaporization characteristics of a liquid heptane droplet in a supercritical nitrogen flow is numerically analyzed. The present model can account for real gas effects, liquid-phase internal circulation, variable thermodynamic properties and high-pressure effects. Time marching method with preconditioning scheme is employed to handle the low Mach number flows in dense heptane droplet region. Computations are made for the wide range of convective velocity and ambient pressure. Numerical results indicate that the droplet deformation becomes stronger by increasing the Reynolds number and it becomes relatively weak by increasing the pressure.
