동축형 인젝터는 이미 여러 발사체에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 인젝터의 한 형태로서 또 다른 인젝터 방식인 충돌형과 비교하여 구조가 복잡한 단점이 있는 반면에 연소 현상의 불안정성에 대해 덜 민감하며 미립화와 혼합의 특성도 우수하다. 이런 동축형 인젝터는 크게 스월 방식과 shear 방식으로 나누어진다. 이중에서 스월 인젝터는 산화제와 연료의 유입구에 접선 방향의 속도를 줌으로써 conical sheet 형태의 분무장을 형성하여 미립화와 혼합을 꾀하는 방식이다. 이와 같은 스월 인젝터에서 중요한 변수 중에 하나인 recess의 변화에 대해 분무 형상과 미립화 혼합특성까지 파악해보았다.

2유체 동축인젝터(coaxial twin fluid injector)는 액체산소와 액체수소를 추진제로 사용하는 SSME(Space Shuttle Main Engine)이나 유럽의 Arian 5 Vulcain 엔진과 같은 저온추진제 엔진에 널리 사용되고 있다. 추진제를 미립화 시키는 장치로서 사용하는 다른 여러 형태의 인젝터에 비교할 때 저속의 액체산화제 주위에 고속의 가스연료가 분사됨으로서 발생되는 전단력에 의해 추진제가 미립화되는 특징을 가지며, 이러한 메카니즘은 매우 복잡하여 아직까지 정확히 규명되지 못하고 있는 실정이다.

As a part of the development procedures of scramjet engine with a regenerative cooling system, this experiment was performed using air-assist type injectors for scramjet engine. Two types of injectors were used in this experiment with the 90 and 60 degrees of the injection angle to the main flow. Mie-scattering was used for spray visualization and PDPA was used for the measurement of the atomization characteristics. It was found that increasing the pressure of supplied gas and the distance from nozzle tip led to the enhancement atomization characteristics and the injector with 60 degrees injection angle has better atomization characteristics than 90 degrees injector.

Coaxial injectors using GCH4/LOx as propellants was designed with shear(gas)/shear(liquid) type and shear(gas)/swirl(liquid) type. Spray characteristics were investigated by cold flow test. Spray patterns of the shear/shear and the shear/swirl type injectors were like a spout of water and hollow cone, respectively. Atomization efficiency of the shear/swirl type injector was better than atomization efficiency of the shear/shear type injector.

Atomization characteristics of small LRE-injector spray are investigated by using dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Velocity, size, number density, and volume flux were measured at various injection pressures along the radial distance to make a close inquiry into spatial distribution characteristic of spray droplets. As the injection pressure increases, the velocity, turbulence intensity, number density, and volume flux of spray droplets become higher, whereas the droplet size ($D_{10}$ or $D_{32}$) gets smaller. Also, velocity and volume flux are proportional to Sauter mean diameter (SMD, $D_{32}$).

The spray and atomization characteristics of swirl coaxial injectors which use gas methane and LOx as propellants are investigated experimentally with a recess length variation. Mass distribution and spray angle are measured by a patternator and droplet size to find atomization characteristics are measured by GSV(Global Size and Velocity) system. As a result, when the liquid sprayed, the spray angle decreased and the atomization characteristic was improved with the recess length increase. When the gas and liquid injected simultaneously, the spray angle was decreased and the atomization characteristic was improved comparing to only the liquid injection.

액체연료를 사용하는 엔진의 인젝터에 대한 연구는 연소효율에 중대한 영향을 미치는 분무 액적의 크기 및 분포 특성 연구에 초점을 두어왔다. 그러나 액체 로켓 엔진은 고온, 고압의 연소실 내에서 액체상태의 연료 및 산화제 액적이 매우 빠르게 기화되기 때문에, 미립화 특성 보다는 연료와 산화제의 혼합특성이 연소효율을 결정하는 변수로 작용하게 된다. 또한 분사된 액체 추진제는 미립화 단계 이전에 기화되어 초기 화염을 형성하므로, 분사 직후의 연료/산화제의 혼합과정을 이해하는 것은 상당히 중요하다.

Spray characteristics of an injector in a small liquid rocket engine (LRE) is characterized by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA). Instantaneous plane images captured by PIV are examined for the qualitative prediction of spray breakup with the setup of evaluation technique for effect of spray angles on injector performance. DPDA is also applied in order to quantify the average velocity, turbulent intensity, SMD, and number density of spray droplets along the spray stream distance leading to precise observation of spray atomization behavior. An objective of the study is the derivation of design parameters of new injectors and the establishment of performance criteria through the clear understanding of spray characteristics.

EFI system has severe problems of heavy HC emission generated by large fuel droplets and non-uniform air-fuel mixture. Therefore, various atomization techniques are being developed in order to reduce HC emission. The one among those techniques is ar shrouded injector, which has better atomization ability and demands less power loss than other atomizers. Thus, the development of this air shrouded injector can be major topic to cope with international emission regulation. Nevertheless, there are few domestic and foreign studies which deal with air shrouded injector. In this study, the spray characteristics and atomization mechanism of the representative air shrouded injector were analyzed using PDPA system. From experimental results, the definite standards of air shrouded injector's spray characteristics were established.

An injector plays an important role in the process of an efficient combustion in liquid-rocket engines (LRE). This paper is focused on the injection performance of a small LRE-injector by employing the spray characteristic parameters made up of the velocity, Sauter mean diameter, and turbulence intensity. An experimental investigation is carried out with the aid of a dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA) according to the injection pressure variation and along transverse axis, spatially. The Weber number and Reynolds number are used to characterize the atomization and turbulence nature of injector spray.
