A supersonic ground test facility to develop Ramjet and SCRamjet(Supersonic Combustion Ramjet) engine should be able to simulate high altitude and high Mach number conditions including air total pressure, oxygen level and specific heat ratio at the combustion chamber entrance. The test facility also should simulate the effect of oblique shock wave caused by the flight vehicle. The test facility developed in this study is supersonic free-jet blowdown type, which consists of high pressure air supply source(maximum pressure=32MPa), air heater(vitiation type), supersonic diffuser, ejector, and test chamber(nozzle exit dimension=200mm$\times$200mm).

In this paper, Supersonic jets impinging on a wedge were investigated in order to acquire fundamental design data for jet deflectors. Surface pressure distributions and pressure contours were obtained using a cold flow tester producing Mach 2 supersonic jets. Schlieren system was used to visualize the flow structure on the wedge surface. Numerical computations were performed and compared with the experimental results. Both results were in good agreement. The results showed that underexpansion ratio did not affect on the surface pressure distribution when the wedge is located at the nozzle exit. With increasing underexpansion ratio, pressure recovery decreased as the wedge is located farther from the nozzle exit. In the pressure contour, it was possible to locate the region where the peak pressure on the wedge surface was occurred.

A numerical investigation of stage separation behavior of a two-body vehicle focusing on its flow characteristics is carried out. For this simulation, the separation of a booster from a vehicle is modeled using a chimera grid system and calculated with commercial code, $CFD-FASTRAN^{TM}$. Consideration of spring force, gravity and relative acceleration of a booster is the essential factor of a realistic simulation. In this study, it is validated that the booster separation time decreases with an increase in flight Mach number and angle of attack. In view of results thus far achieved, it is expected that the dynamics modeling and boundary condition set-up applied in this study will be useful for estimating safe stage separation and event sequencing of flight tests.

Jettison, grid and CTS test are widely used for the store and stage separation studies. This is an introductory paper on the experimental methodology and typical results of grid and CTS test used for the Korean 3-stage sounding rocket development. Thirteen separation trajectories were evaluated in the ONERA S2MA wind tunnel at Mach numbers of 2.0 and 2.8. The test result was applied as the basic database for the design of optimized separation device.

The high speed wind tunnel test for the study of the basic aerodynamic characteristics of the rocket with twin strap-on boosters was performed using ADD trisonic wind tunnel on the Mach number range of 0.4~4.0. The 6 % scale model of the early design version of Korean sounding rocket was tested. The tested configurations were core only, core/fins, core/boosters and core/boosters/fins. The effects of core length, gap between core and booster, and bank angle were investigated.

A Supersonic air intake model was designed for the high performance ramjet and dual-mode scramjet engine to operate at Mach 4 flight condition. The air intake was tested in the blowdown-type wind tunnel of Kyushu University to identify the internal flow characteristics corresponding to the flight parameters such as the back pressure, angle of attack and angle of yaw. Flow visualization was achieved by the Schlieren and oil flow visualization techniques. The intake performance was analyzed quantitatively based on the surface pressure and total Pressure measurements. The experimental results were compared with the computational fluid dynamics results. The present study exhibits the fundamental but rarely found experimental results of the high Mach number supersonic air intake.

램제트는 다른 여러 추진시스템에 비하여 획기적으로 증가된 사거리를 가지므로 가용범위의 확대는 물론, 목표물 타격 시 높은 명중률과 낮은 격추율을 가지는 효과적인 추진 시스템이다. 램제트 엔진을 장착한 미사일로는 프랑스의 Griffon, ASMP, 미국의 Bomarc, Talos, 영국의 Bloodhound, Sea dart, 소련의 SA4, SA6 등을 비롯하여 많은 종류가 개발되어 실전 배치되었다. 근래 들어 램제트는 군사전략과 전술적인 목적 이외에도 민간용으로도 그 실용성이 강조되고 있어 그 중요성은 날로 더할 것으로 예측된다. 램제트는 일반적인 공기흡입식 엔진과는 달리 엔진 내부에 기계적으로 구동되는 부분이 없이 충격파를 통과하면서 공기의 압력이 높아지는 현상인 램압축 현상을 이용하여 공기를 압축하게 되므로 엔진의 구조가 간단하고, 상대적으로 높은 비추력과 추력/중량비를 가진다. 램제트는 정지 상태에서는 작동되지 않으며 사용 가능한 최소의 압력비를 줄 수 있는 비행 마하수에 도달해야 램제트가 작동하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 비행속도를 줄 수 있는 별도의 추진장치가 필요하게 되는데 이와 같은 보조 추진장치로 부스터를 사용한다. 부스터가 엔진의 내부에 장착된 램제트를 일제형 램제트 (IRR: integral Rocket Ramjet)라 부르며, 현대의 전략미사일과 민간용 초음속 항공기의 엔진에 도입되어 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 램압력을 이용하여 압축하므로 램제트의 설계시 설계점 비행 속도에서 전압력 손실이 최소가 되도록 설계되어야 하며, 이를 실험이나 수치해석을 통해 확인하여야 한다.

CFD simulation has been conducted on a small scaled 4 nozzle clustered engine operating with air. In the present paper, the effects of grid size, turbulence models, flux difference methods have been compared. The results show that the base flows are somewhat different as the turbulence models, while Roe and AUSM flux differences produced almost the same results. Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model produces more accurate results rather than famous SST k-w model. The calculated Mach number and pressure profile in the engine base reveal the complex base flow structure, which is somewhat different from the generally estimated flow fields.
