본 논문은 분사제트 주위에 형성되는 와류를 조절하여 제트를 제어하기 위하여 유동가시화, 속도분포 및 난류성분을 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 와류를 조절하기 위한 방법으로 제트노즐 주위에 환형관을 설치하여 환형관으로부터 2차제트를 분사 또는 흡입함으로써 제트주위에 형성되는 전단류를 변화시켰다. 2차제트 분사시 주제트 주위에 형성되는 와류의 발달을 억제함으로써 제트 포텐셜코어의 길이가 아주 길어지는 제트유동을 얻을 수 있었다. 환형관으로부터 주제트주위의 유체를 흡입하는 경우 제트주위의 전단류가 흡입비 R=1.3∼l.65에서 대류불안정성에서 절대불안정성으로 바뀜으로써 형성된 와류가 하류에서 제트중심부까지 발전, 결합되는 것을 방지하여 더 긴포텐셜코어와 중심에서 낮은 난류강도를 얻었다. 위의 결과는 환형관 주위에 부착한 깃의 높이 변화에 따라서 변화하였는데, 이것은 깃이 환형관을 통한 흡입유동의 유로역할을 함으로써 제트밖으로부터 흡입되는 것을 방지할 수 있었다. 분사제트 벡터링을 위하여 제트노즐 주위의 환형관을 이등분하여 한쪽으로만 제트주위의 유동을 흡입함으로써 제트주위에 다른 전단류를 형성함과 동시에 Coanda효과를 이용하여 분사제트를 편향시켰다. 편향되는 정도 및 난류성분은 홉입속도 비에 따라서 크게 바뀌었다.

Characteristics of cryogenic single jet flow were investigated. Liquid nitrogen was injected into a high-pressure chamber and formed single jet. Ambient condition around jet was changed from subcritical to superctirical condition of nitrogen. Injector geometries also were changed. A shape of the jet and core diameter were measured by flow visualization technique, and core spreading angle was calculated. Flow instability was found at atmospheric pressure condition. As ambient pressure increased, core spreading angle was increased and maintained after certain pressure.

The objective of the present study is to conduct model combustion tests for various injectors to identify their combustion stability characteristics. Three different double swirl coaxial injectors with variation of a recess number have been tested for the comparative study of stability characteristic and flame structure. Gaseous oxygen and mixture of gaseous methane and propane have been employed for simulating actual propellants used for a fullscale thrust chamber. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

Constant volume combustion chamber has been designed to investigate diesel spray characteristics with Common-Rail injection system to realize high pressure injection. In this study, two methods of measurements, Schlieren shadowgraphy and Mie scattering imaging method ate applied experimentally to study spray form and liquid phase zone in high pressure, high temperature conditions. Diesel fuel is injected at the point which ignited mixture gas is completely burned. The effect of injection pressure, injector hole diameter, ambient gas temperature and density are investigated experimentally.

Numerical study under single-injection on bi-swirl coaxial injectors with different recess lengths was performed using ANSYS Fluent. The bi-swirl coaxial injectors which consisted of inner closed-type and outer open-type swirl injectors, had three different recess lengths. By changing mass flow rates, numerical simulation was repeated using the Reynolds stress BSL turbulent model. The numerical results such as discharge coefficient and spray angle were compared with previous experimental data and were found to be approximately matched well with them, irrespective of recess length. Quantitative data which was hard to be measured from experiments, were successfully obtained through the present numerical study.

Cold acoustic tests have been performed to elucidate the effect of baffle gaps on the optimal damping characteristics in a liquid rocket combustor where coaxial injectors are installed. For several axial baffle lengths, an optimal acoustic damping capacitance has been achieved in a certain gap range. Cold acoustic tests for simulating fluid viscosity by changing the pressure in a model chamber have been done to study the main mechanism of optimal damping. Experimental data have shown that the optimal gap for high damping capacity exists mainly due to the viscosity near the gap of baffles. Therefore, axial baffle length can be reduced by using the optimal baffle gap, providing a possible solution of thermal cooling problems. Also, these optimum characteristics can be some guidelines for manufacturing and assembling injectors in full-scaled rocket combustors.

The combustion characteristics of gaseous methane-gaseous oxygen, an eco-friendly bipropellant injected by shear coaxial injector, were investigated. Flame was photographed under various combustion conditions using a DSLR camera, and the characteristics of the flame shape was quantified by image post-processing. From the view point of stabilization, the diffusion flame could be divided into anchored flame regime and blow-off regime. As the oxidizer Reynolds number ($Re_o$) increased, a probability of the formation of anchored flame increased with the length of flame. The shear coaxial injector used in this experiment was found to require a large length-to-diameter ratio of combustion chamber because it formed a relatively long flame in the injection direction due to a poor mixing depending only on the momentum diffusion of two propellant jets.

A water-flow test was carried out for the nonimpinging-type injector to be equipped on 70 N-class liquid-rocket engine under development. Breakup patterns of injector-spray transit from a smooth jet to wavy one as the injection angle increases, whereas spray-breakup lengths are inversely proportional to the injection pressure. It is confirmed that there exist ruffles on the surface of liquid column, which could be caught through the instantaneous spray images captured by high-speed camera. A phenomenon of spray shedding amplified at the specific pressure level of 0.93 MPa was an unexpected behavior of the injected stream and it is to be investigated further.

On this paper study is concentrated on the breakup and atomization characteristics of spray formed by impinging jet injectors(like-doublet) used in liquid rocket engine(LRE). On the process of breakup and atomization, injection velocity and ambient gas pressure are the main parameters, so that these are used as variables that specify the experimental condition. Injection velocity varied from 3m/s to 30m/s and ambient gas pressure changed from 0.1MPa to 4.0MPa with nitrogen gas. As results, measured physical quantities decreased with increasing injection velocity and ambient gas pressure. But the decreasing ratios are different from those of the theory.

우주항공 산업에 대한 관심 증가에 따라 지상에서 많은 연소시험을 시행하고 있으나, 소음 발생문제에 부딪혀 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 초보적 단계이기는 하나, 액체로켓 엔진의 추력 손실을 최소화시키고 최대한 제트 소음을 크게 줄일 수 있는 소음기를 연구, 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제트소음에 대한 기초연구를 수행하여 물분사형 소음기를 설계 및 제작하였고, 물분사량과 소음기의 기하학적형상이 소음 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 본 실험범위에서 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 동일한 물 분사량 조건에서, 소음기 길이가 노즐출구 직경의 10배 모델 보다 30배 모델이 9dbl 정도 감음효과를 보였다. 2. 불 분사량이 증가함에 따라 소음레벨은 감소하였고, 30배 모델의 경우 불분사량이 배기가스의 10-12배 조건에서는 소음레벨을 91dbl까지 줄일 수 있었다. 3. 상기조건(소음레벨 91dbl)에 확장관을 부착함으로써, 소음레벨을 약 86dbl까지 줄일 수 있었다. 4. 본 형태의 물분사방식을 채택할 경우 고온배기가스로 인한 소음기의 파손을 방지하기 위해서 반드시 막냉각장치의 설치가 요구된다.
