The gas jet from a coaxial porous injector for two-phase flows is discharged from the porous surface, which encloses the center liquid jet, and the gas and liquid jet interact with each other physically. The wall injected gas jet transfers the radial momentum effectively while the radial gas jet develops to axial jet, and the performance of atomizing and mixing can be improved. In this study, the Weber number and the ratio of momentum flux were controlled by changing the gas injection area and the mass flow rate of the gas jet, and a study on the spray characteristics at the cold-flow test using water and air simulant was performed. It is concluded that the radial momentum transfer concept of a coaxial porous injector gives a positive effect on the atomization and mixing of the two-phase spray.

The design of coaxial porous injector was suggested to improve the mixing and atomizing performance at the center region of the conventional 2-phase flow coaxial shear injector spray. Several cold flow tests of 2-dimensional injectors was performed, and the gas injection area was varied to determine the effect of the magnitude of gas radial momentum.

지난번 강좌에서는 유압밸브의 스푸울에 작용하는 반경방향의 유동력(Iateral flow force)에 대해 서 그 원인과 대책을 소개하였다(대한기계학회지 vol.2, No.1).여기서는 스푸울에 작용하는 축방향 의 유동력(axial flow force)을 기술하는 방법과 이에 대한 보상방법(method of compensation)을 소개한다. 축방향의 유동력은 유체의 운동방정식을 적분형으로 고쳐 쓴, 소위 운동량 이론을 적용 함으로써 그 표현을 용이하게 얻을 수 있다. 그러므로 먼저 유동력의 보석에 적용될 수 있는 운 동량 이론을 소개하고, 스푸울의 형상이 비교적 간단한 경우에 대해서 유동력을 계산하고, 그 보상방법을 논의한다.

The flowfield in a solid rocket motor was simulated at the wall-injection test model, which has a fin-slot grain and submerged nozzle, and visualized by a smoke-wire. The high speed CCD camera captured the visualized images around the nozzle inlet through the grain center port. The vortical tube structure and circumferential flow patterns at the nozzle throat were visualized. The radial momentum transfer caused by the shear-interactions of slot-outlet flow, fin-base flow and grain port flow from upstream worked as the source of these phenomena.

The flow characteristics varying with the rate of the radius of curvature to width (Rc/B) in open channel bends are investigated with a simplified numerical model, briefly. Secondary flow velocity and transverse bed slope are formulated from the equations of moment of momentum and force balance analysis, respectively. The conservation equations of mass and streamwise momentum are simplified by depth integration and its solution could be obtained form explicit finite difference method. Three sets of computer simulation are executed. The rates of Rc/B adopted in simulations are 2.7, 5.4, 8.1 , respectively. The terms analyzed in this paper are secondary flow velocity, streamwise velocity, the path of maximum streamwise velocity, deviation angle, and mass-shift velocity.

Effects of injector position and momentum flux ratio on a vertical jet in a cross flow field were studied qualitatively and shown by using air and water. The experiment was carried out by fixing the momentum flux ratio and varying the position of the injector hole. Conversely, the injector hole position was fixed and the momentum flux ratio was varied. Image visualization was performed by a Shadowgraph technique using a high speed camera. The visualized images were compared for finding differences in spraying through Density Gradient Magnitude Image. It is observed that as the x/d of the apparatus increased the jet break up height decreases and the spray angle also decreases. When x/d is 0, the spray reaches the floor and ceiling at any momentum flux ratio.

Effects of injector position and momentum flux ratio on a vertical jet in a cross-flow field are qualitatively studied and displayed using air and water. The position of the injector hole and the momentum flux ratio is changed and image visualization is performed using a shadowgraph technique and a high-speed camera. The visualized images are compared to find differences in spraying using density gradient magnitude image. It is observed that, as the x/d of the apparatus increases, the jet break-up height decreases. When x/d is 0, the spray reaches the bottom and ceiling at any momentum flux ratio.

Spray characteristic parameters such as droplet mean velocity, diameter, and volume flux are measured at various locations of spray in order to investigate the evolutionary feature of droplets exiting from a direct-injection type thruster nozzle-orifice. The experimental results indicate that the large droplets with high velocity at the center of upstream are broken-up into smaller droplets with low velocity due to their continuous momentum loss to surrounding air along with spray evolution toward downstream. Also it is found that the high volume flux expands its distribution in radial direction as a results of spray spreading and dispersion.

The end-burning combustion field using impinging oxidizer injectors are analyzed with tangential type injectors in order to examine their mixing and combustion characteristics. The impinging type showed further improved mixing effect as well as the combustion efficiency compared to the previously studied tangential injector. A novel injector capable of delivering impinging and swirl effect is introduced in this study where it demonstrated that the grain coning effect can be avoided. It was found that the combined impinging and swirling flow would promote the radial mixing rate increasing the residence time and the turbulent intensity. However, the use of the step combustor which may augment the turbulent intensity did not show any notable difference compared to the basic combustor.

In a coaxial porous injector, a gas propellant is injected through the porous cylinder surface to the liquid jet which is encircled by a porous cylinder. In this study, to observe the differences in disintegration mechanisms between a shear coaxial injector and a coaxial porous injector, cold-flow tests and 2-D axisymmetric numerical analysis have been carried out. The shadowgraph images and Sauter mean diameters were compared in similar experimental conditions, and the effects of velocity distributions at the inner injector region on the disintegration of liquid jet were investigated through the numerical calculations. As a result, in high air mass flow rate condition, the disintegration performance of coaxial porous injector is better than shear coaxial injector, in spite of a lower velocity at the inner injector region.
