본 연구는 HSDI 디젤 엔진의 연소 성능 향상을 위해 연료 분사 타겟팅의 최적화를 수치 해석적으로 연구하였다. 연구에 적용된 연소모델은 ECFM-3Z모델을 사용하였고, 해석에 필요한 엔진 부하 및 연료의 타겟팅은 분사량, 분사각도, 분사시기를 변경하여 해석한 실린더압력, 열 발생률, 배기 배출물 특성의 결과를 비교 분석하여 연구하였다. 연구결과, 분사시기와 분사각도에 따라 연료가 피스톤 보울 안쪽으로 많이 유입될수록 열 발생률의 증가로 인하여 $NO_x$는 증가하였고, CO, Soot은 연소성능의 증진으로 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 분사시기가 진각될수록 균일 혼합기 형성시간이 충분하여 연소성능이 증진되고, 실린더압력은 증가하였다.

Numerical computations were conducted to characterize the three-dimensional laminar flow through an injector orifice having an inclined angle of 30 .deg.. For this study, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates, using a pseudocompressibility approach for continuity equation, were solved. The computations were performed using the finite difference implicit, approximately factored scheme of Beam and Warming and multi-block grids of complete continuity at block interfaces. The multi-block computations were validated for the steady state using direct comparison of multi-block solutions with equivalent single-block ones, including 2-D 180.deg. TAD and 3-D 90.deg. pipe bend. The comparisons between the numerical solutions and the flow field measurements for a tube with sudden contraction were presented in this work for solution validation. Computational results showed the nature of complex flow fields within the inclined injector orifice, including strong pressure-driven secondary flows in the cross stream induced by the effect of streamline curvature. In addition, asymmetric secondary flows were induced in the Reynolds number range above assumed laminar flow regime considered. However, turbulence calculations and grid dependency studies are needed for more accurate computations.

To investigate the spray behavior and atomization characteristics using an air-assist injector, spray visualization and PDPA measurements were carried out under the various assisted air pressures and the fixed fuel pressure. The air assist pintle type injector employed in this study is consisted of the air assist adaptor and an injector housing using the gasoline fuel and air as the working fluids. As results, increasing pressure of assisted air, the growth of spray tip penetration is gradually reduced at the end of spray and spray angle is steadily increased at the main spray region except from the early spray. For the air assist pressure of 25㎪ in a spray downstream, it is doncluded that droplet size distribution shows the peak of 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and most of the droplet sizes are less than 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Also, the air-assist injector extremely improves fuel atomization in order to produce much finer droplets, it shows that approximately, in this case, 50% decreade of SMD than without air assit.

According as the industry was developed, the pollution of the environment and atmosphere rose up to the surface. So, the focus is now concentrated on the engines of affinity for nature. And the investigators make more effort to the improvement in the performance of engines, depending to the prices of oil and the anxiety about the exhaustion of the fossil fuel go up. So the GDI engines head up for these necessities. In this experimental study, the spray flow characteristics for a commercial injector equipped in the present GDI engine were investigated, which had a strong influence on the engine performance and emissions. The experiment was performed at the injection pressures of 1, 3, 5 and 7MPa under the atmospheric condition. A PDPA system was used to specify the flow characteristics of the spray. Also, the global spray behavior classified into three regions as leading, main spray and vortex cloud region, was analyzed by using a visualization system. And the regions were compared with each other.

Combustion instability is critical problem in developing liquid rocket engine. There have been many efforts to solve this problem. In this study, the method was sought through the injector as part of these efforts to suppress combustion instability. If the injector can suppress the disturbance coming from the supply line as a kind of buffer it will serve to reduce combustion instability. Especially we target at gas propellant oscillation in gas-centered swirl coaxial injector. The phenomenon is simulated with acoustic excitation of speaker. The film thickness response at injector exit was measured by using a liquid film electrode. Also the response of spray to the disturbance was observed by high-speed photography. Gas-liquid momentum flux ratio and the frequency of feeding gas oscillation were changed to investigate the effect of these experimental parameters. The trend of response by varying these parameters and the cause of weak points was studied to suggest the better design of injector for suppressing combustion instability.

배플이 장착된 KSR-III 엔진의 연소장 및 성능을 예측하기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 검증을 위해 3차원 계산을 수행하여 연소시험과 비교하였으며, 정성적으로 잘 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 배플이 장착됨에 따라 연소실 전압이 감소하여 특성속도가 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었고, 이것은 엔진의 성능 감소로 이어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 분사기 면과 연소실 벽면 및 배플 벽면에 국부적인 고온 영역이 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 이것은 분사기 면에 막냉각을 설계하여 장착할 수 있는 기본 자료로 활용되었고 실제 엔진에 적용되었다.

It is important to study on the combustion instability to develop liquid rocket engines for preventing lower combustion efficiency and destruction of combustion chamber. There are many researches on simplex injector with liquid pulsation to solve this problem. In real rocket engine system, however, they use coaxial injectors. Therefore, research on coaxial injector with liquid pulsation is essential. In this study, we investigate dynamic characteristics of gas centered swirl coaxial injector varying tangential inlet diameter. A mechanical pulsator was used to generate an excitation in the liquid flow, and the response characteristics of the injector were confirmed. As tangential inlet diameter increased, mass flow rates increased and spray angle decreased. As tangential inlet diamter decreased, gain decreased because the pressure fluctuation in the injector manifold rarely passed through the inlet. Additionally, it was confirmed that a sufficiently small tangential inlet served as a damper.

Swirl형 인젝터는 연소가 안정적이고 효율이 높으며 비교적 넓은 구간의 혼합비 변화에 민감하게 반응하지 않는 장점을 가지고 있다. 바깥쪽 오리피스 끝단에서 안쪽 오리피스 끝단까지의 길이인 Recess 길이는 Swirl형 인젝터 성능의 주요 변수로, 추진제의 충돌, 혼합, 분무, 연소에 많은 영향을 준다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Recess 길이에 따라 엔진의 성능이 어떻게 변화하는지에 대해 수치해석, 비연소 실험, 연소 실험을 통해 확인해 보았다. 그 결과 Recess 길이에 따른 로켓엔진의 성능 변화를 확인 할 수 있었고, 인젝터의 성능을 평가하는 과정에서 수치해석, 비연소 실험을 통한 성능 예측이 연소실험을 통해 타당한 과정임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

High-frequency combustion instabilities may occur during the development of feasible engine combustors. These instabilities can result in irreparable damages to the wall of combustors or the degradation of engine performance. So, it is essential to identify injectors that have high stability characteristics during the early stages of development. The objective of present study was to assess the stability of coaxial injectors and an impinging injector with different recess lengths in order to develop stable injectors optimally. Stability margin was evaluated based on the distance from operating condition to the unstable regions. A simulating combustion test method was used to analyze the stability of injectors. A small-scale combustion chamber was designed to simulate the first tangential acoustic mode of the actual combustor. Gaseous oxygen and a mixture of methane and propane were used as simulant propellants to satisfy their flow similarity to the actual propellants of a combustor in a liquid rocket combustor. The results indicated that injectors having small recess lengths showed relatively large combustion stability margins. For the injectors of large recess lengths, instability regions with large and super-large amplitude oscillations were observed. Thus, injector with shorter recess lengths had a higher stability than that of longer one due to the different mixing processes.

When a recess is applied to a swirl coaxial injector that uses liquid and gas propellants, a self-pulsation phenomenon in which the spray oscillates at regular intervals may occur. The phenomenon is caused by the interaction between the liquid and gas propellants inside the injector recess region. The propellants' kinetic energies are expected to affect significantly the spray oscillation. Therefore, cold-flow tests using helium as a gas-simulating propellant were conducted and compared with the results of the previous study using air. Dynamic pressure was measured in the injector manifold and frequency characteristics were investigated through the fast Fourier transform analysis. In the experimental environment, the helium density was about seven times lower than the air density. Accordingly, the intensity of pressure fluctuations was confirmed to be greater when air was used. At the same kinetic energy condition, the perturbation frequency was almost identical in the low flow rate conditions. However, as the flow rate increased, the self-pulsation frequency was higher when helium was used.
