In the design of scramjet intake for hypersonic flight, a variety of aerothermodynamics phenomena are encountered. These phenomena include blunt leading - edge effects, boundary layer development issues, transition, inviscid / viscous coupling, shock - shock interactions, shock / boundary - layer interactions, and flow profile effects. For intakes that are designed to operate within a narrow Mach number / altitude envelope, an understanding of a few of these phenomena might be required. In this work several predominant flowfield phenomena (viscous phenomena, boundary - layer separation, and combustor entrance profile) are discussed to investigate the performance of the intake at the altitude and angle of attack extremes of the HyShot flight experiment.

The steady-state performance analysis program for turboprop engine which was used for a small, middle industrial aircraft and a basic trainer aircraft was developed and linear Gas Path Analysis method was applied to Engine Health Monitoring for Turboprop engine. This program was compared with TURBOMARCH program which is well known with performance and power according to flight Mach No. at the standard atmospheric condition to prove a steady-state performance analysis program. From the result, inlet, exit temperature and pressure of each component had error within 3% and especially power according to flight Mach No. had error within 2.4% so that this program could be assured. To make sure if linear Gas Path Analysis is reasonable four cases were selected. The first is the case that fouling is occurred in compressor only. The second is the case that fouling is occurred in compressor and erosion is occurred in turbine. The third is the case that erosion is occurred in both compressor and turbine and power turbine at the same time. Finally, the case that fouling and erosion are occurred in compressor, compressor turbine and power turbine was selected. Different parameters were selected impartially among the independent parameters so that the effect of measurement parameter selection was observed. From the result, the more measurement parameters the smaller RMS error and even though the number of measurement parameters was the same, the RMS error was obtained differently according to which measurement parameters were selected. The case using eight instrument parameters of case IV-4 had small error comparably and was economic and it was important to select optimal number of measurement and optimal measurement parameters.

Problems created by supersonic jet impinging on solid objects or ground arise in a variety of situations. For example multi-stage rocket separation, deep-space docking, V/STOL aircraft, jet-engine exhaust, gas-turbine blade, terrestrial rocket launch, and so on. These impinging jet flows generally contain a complex structures. (mixed subsonic and supersonic regions, interacting shocks and expansion waves, regions of turbulent shear layer) This paper describes experimental works on the phenomena (surface pressure distribution, flow visualization) when underexpanded supersonic jets impinge on the perpendicular, inclined plate using a supersonic cold-(low system. The used supersonic nozzle is convergent-divergent type, exit Mach number 2, The maximum on the plate when it was inclined was much larger than perpendicular plate, owing to high pressure recoveries through multiple shocks. Surface pressure distribution as to underexpanded ratio showed similar patterns together.

The present paper describes a mathematical modeling and simulation of the separation of a solid rocket booster from an air breathing engine vehicle. The vehicle and booster are considered as a multi-connected body and the booster is assumed to move only along the axial direction of the vehicle. The dynamic motion of the vehicle and the booster were modeled by using Kane's method. The aerodynamic forces on the whole system along various positions of booster were calculated by using DATCOM software and the internal pressure force acting on the effective surface during separation was simply calculated with gas dynamics and Taylor MacColl equation. Numerical simulation was done by using Mathworks-Matlab. From the result, the variation of Mach number and angle of attack are not large during the separation, so the variation of pitch angle and the characteristics of inlet flow for varying the Mach number and angle of attack during the separation test can be identified as neglectable values.

램제트 엔진은 비추력이 높고 추력 레벨은 낮으므로, 2단 추진기관에 적합한 추진 시스템이다. 1단-추진기관의 작동이 끝나고, 2단 램제트 엔진이 점화 후 안정된 연소에 도달되기까지 비행체의 속도는 항력에 의하여, 초당 약 마하수 0.1 정도씩 감소된다. 1단 연소 후 2단 램제트로 전환되는 지연시간이 길수록 1단에서 요구되는 종말 가속도는 증가되므로, 1단이 차지하게되는 부피는 증가되고 비행체의 크기 또한 늘어나게 된다. 따라서 1단에서 2단 램제트로 천이되는데 소요되는 시간을 가능한 짧게 하는 것이 효과적이다. 그러나 램제트 엔진의 특성상 선결되어야할 다음과 같은 여러 문제들이 있다. 첫째, 1단 작동 시 공기 흡입구와 연소실은 차단벽으로 분리되어 있다가, 1단 연소후 차단막이 제거되어 외부공기가 램제트 연소실로 흡입된다. 흡입되는 공기는 흡입구의 형상에 의하여 램 압축되지만 초음속으로 연소실을 통과하게된다. 연료 주입 구에서 공급되는 연료는 연소실에서 유동의 흐름방향(streamline)에 따라서 연소실로 확산되는데, 연소되기 전에는 유속이 빠르게 노즐로 빠져 나가므로 램제트 연료가 재순환 구역(recirculation zone)으로 침투하는데 쉽지가 않다. 둘째, 연소실 입구에서 발생되는 와류 (ring vortex)는 1단 연료의 고온 연소 가스를 연소실로 확산시키는데, 비 균일한 온도 분포를 유발하여 램제트 연료의 점화에너지가 공급되는 시간이 적당하지 않을 경우 균일한 화염 전파에 악영향을 준다. 셋째, 연소실에서의 빠른 유동 조건은 연료가 연소실에 머무를 수 있는 시간을 감소시키며, 연소실 입구에서 강한 전단 응력이 발생되어 화염이 안정화되는데 악 영향을 미치게된다. 본 논문은 공기 흡입구, 연소실 및 노즐을 통합하여 수치해석을 하였으며 열유동/점화/연소등의 미케니즘을 이해하고, 주요 인자들 중 와류의 영향에 초점을 맞추었다.다고 판단되며 배기 가스 자체에 대기 공기중에 함유되어 있던 습기가 얼어붙는(Icing화) 문제가 발생하기 때문에 배기가스의 Icing을 방지하기 위하여 압축기 끝단에서 공기를 추출하여 배기부분에 송출할 필요성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 출구가스의 기체 유동속도가 매우 빠르므로 (100-l10m.sec) 이를 완화하기 위한 디퓨저의 설계가 요구된다고 판단된다. 또 연소기 후방에 물을 주입하는 경우 열교환기 및 기타 부분품에 발생할 수 있는 부식 및 열교환 효율 저하도 간과할 수 없는 문제로 파악되었다. 이러한 기술적 문제가 적절히 해결되는 경우 비활성 가스 제너레이터는 민수용으로는 대형 빌딩, 산림, 유조선 등의 화재에 매우 적절히 사용되어 질 수 있을 뿐 아니라 군사적으로도 군사작전 중 및 공군 기지의 화재 그리고 지하벙커에 설치되어 있는 고급 첨단 군사 장비 등의 화재 뿐 아니라 대간첩작전 등에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.가 작으며, 본 연소관에 충전된 RDX/AP계 추진제의 경우 추진제의 습기투과에 의한 추진제 물성 변화는 미미한 것으로 나타났다.의 향상으로, 음성개선에 효과적이라고 사료되었으며, 이 방법이 편측 성대마비 환자의 효과적인 음성개선의 치료방법의 하나로 응용될 수 있으리라 생각된다..7%), 혈액투석, 식도부분절제술 및 위루술·위회장문합술을 시행한 경우가 각 1례(2.9%)씩이었다. 13) 심각한 합병증은 9례(26.5%)에서 보였는데 그중 식도협착증이 6례(17.6%), 급성신부전증 1례(2.9%), 종격동기흉과 폐염이 병발한 경우와 폐염이 각 1례(2.9%)였다. 14) 식도경 시행회수는 1회가 17례(54.8%), 2회가 9례(29.0%), 3회 이상이 5례(16.1%)였다.EX>$IC_{50}$/ 값이 210 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$로서 효과적

Performance requirement analysis and weight estimation of a reusable launch vehicle with a rocket-based air-breathing engine(RBCC : Rocket Based Combined Cycle) were performed. Performance model for an RBCC engine was developed and integrated with flight trajectory model. The integrated engine-trajectory model was validated by comparing the results with those from previous research reference. Based on the new engine-trajectory model and previous research results, engine performance requirements were derived for an reusable launching vehicle with gross take-off weight of 15 tones. Dependence of the propellant amount requirement on the mode transition Mach number of the engine was also analyzed.

Numerical computations were performed to investigate the effects of pintle stroke, altitude, and bore on the performance of an external pintle thruster. Results show that under-expansion flow occurs always, independent of pintle stroke. An external pintle thruster shows good performance in that it is capable of good amount of thrust control, while aerodynamic loads are increased due to shock waves on the pintle support. When altitude is increased to 20 km, the nozzle exit velocity, Mach number, thrust as well as aerodynamic loads are increased. Bore increases aerodynamic load 5.9%, and therefore pintle shape without bore is preferred for lower aerodynamic load of a pintle in order to actuate the pintle.

In order to investigate transient behaviour of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle) propulsion system during flight mode transition considering flow control valve operation, the propulsion system was modelled using SIMULINK commercial program. For transient simulation of the main engine system, the ICV(Inter-Component Volume) method was applied. The valve system is to control the gas flow of the rotary duct system and the main duct system, and the analysis was performed with an assumption that the total gas mass flow of the main engine is the same as summation of the rotary duct flow and the main duct flow, and with consideration of valve loss, flow rate and effective area in valve angle variation. The performance analysis was carried out during flight mode transitions from the rotary flight mode to the fixed wing flight mode and vice versa mode at altitude of 1Km, flight Mach number 0.1 and maximum engine rpm.

This paper describes the development procedure of GUI Program for the automated generation of airfoil performance table used in helicopter comprehensive code. Considering commercialization, the program is developed based on the Windows operating system. In addition, it is aimed to enhance user's convenience by including embedded postprocessor which enables real-time display of calculation procedure and grid system. Using the validated CFD code, the aerodynamic analyses are automated for a given range of Mach number and angles of attack. The computational grid system is designed to generate automatically once the surface coordinates are given. Mixed-Language scheme is employed in order to combine the CFD code in Fortran with C++ based GUI program, which makes the time-consuming code conversion unnecessary.

A prestudy on expendable turbine engine for high-speed vehicle was conducted. The two possible mission profiles were established to decide the engine requirements and Design Point, and Design Point analysis was performed with the values of design parameter which were obtained from similar class engines and technical references. The results showed that Specific Net Thrust is 2599.4 ft/s and Specific Fuel Consumption is 1.483 lb/($lb^*h$) at the flight condition of Sea Level, Mach 1.2. It was also found through the performance analysis on the two possible mission profiles that major design parameters for determining Net Thrust were Turbine Inlet Temperature for low supersonic flight speed and Compressor Exit Temperature for high supersonic flight speed. In addition, simple turbojet engine with axial compressor, straight annular combustor, axial turbine and fixed throat area converge-diverge exhaust nozzle was proposed as the configuration of simple low cost light engine.
