액체추진제 로켓엔진에서 분사기의 미립화 및 혼합 특성과 그에 따른 연소 특성은 성능과 안정성을 결정하는 중요한 파라미터이며 분사기는 제한된 설계 조건하에서 최대의 열방출율을 발휘하도록 설계되어야 한다. 여기서 연소효율은 연료와 산화제의 혼합특성과 충돌 분무의 미립화의 정도에 의해 결정되므로 충돌 분무 유동성의 혼합, 미립화 특성과 이에 따른 인조성능 특성을 명확하게 밝힘으로써 최대 엔진성능을 위한 설계가 가능하게 된다. 분사기의 설계에는 분사요소형태, 분사공의 형상 및 유동시스템 등이 포함되며 특히 분사요소 형태의 선택에는 추진제, 연소실냉각방법, 연소실 형상, 자동조건 및 엔진의 수명 등이 중요한 제한조건으로 고려된다. 이런 형태의 분사 요소들 중, 충돌형 분사기는 저장성 추진제를 사용하는 중, 저추력의 액체추진제 로켓엔진에 주로 사용된다. 이 분사형태는 미립화 성능이 높지 않고, 분사공 직경 및 운동량비에 따른 혼합성능이 만감하며 blow apart 등에 의한 열부하 혹은 안정성에 대한 문제가 있으나 양호한 혼합효율, 신뢰성과 제작의 용이함으로 인하여 광범위하게 사용된다.

Combustion characteristics of dual transverse injection of hydrogen in supersonic air flows were studied using computational methods. Three-dimensional Navier-Stokes with a non-equilibrium chemical reaction model and the k-$\omega$ SST turbulence model were used. A parametric study was conducted with the variation of the distance between two injectors. Combustion characteristics of dual injection are very different from those of single injection. The combustion characteristics of two injection flows are very different from each other, and the ignition and combustion characteristics of the rear injection flow are strongly influenced by those of the front injection flow. The increase of the distance between two injectors up to a specific distance results in the increase of burning rate. However, the increase of the distance over the specific distance gives no increase of burning rate but makes more losses of stagnation pressure. From the results it can be stated that there exists a distance between two injectors for optimum combustion characteristics.

Based on the analyses of the single transverse injection in supersonic flow fields, the mixing characteristics of dual transverse injection of hydrogen in supersonic air flow are studied with computational methods. Three-dimensional Navier -Stokes and the k-$\omega$ SST turbulence model were used. A parametric study is conducted with the variation of the distance between two injectors. The flow patterns and the mixing characteristics of two injection flows are very different from each other, and the flow patterns and the mixing characteristics of the rear injection flow are strongly influenced by those of the first injection flow. The increase of the distance between two injectors up to a specific distance results in the increase of mixing rate and penetration of fuel. However, the increase of the distance over the specific distance results in the decrease of mixing rate and penetration of fuel. From the results it can be stated that there exists a distance between two injectors for optimum mixing characteristics.

In the present study, a numerical investigation was conducted to analyze the effect of the distance between the adjacent injectors on the characteristics of flow structure, fuel penetration, and air/fuel mixing. Numerical results were validated with experimental data using a single injection. Subsequently, the same injector geometry and properties were applied on a non-reacting flow simulation with multiple injectors. Total pressure loss, penetration height, and mixing efficiency were compared with the distance between the injectors. The results showed that each injected gas merged into a single stream, resulting in the 2D-like flow fields under the condition of short distance and lower mixing efficiency along with higher total pressure loss. When the distance between the injectors increased, total pressure loss reduced and mixing efficiency increased due to the weakening of interactions between the injected gases.

초임계 난류유동이 활용되고 있는 가장 대표적인 시스템은 액체로켓연소기이다. 액체로켓엔진은 목적하는 임무에 따라 추력이 결정되고 엔진의 추력이 결정된다. 이러한 추력을 결정하는 핵심부품이 분사기(injector)이다. 실용 인공위성을 발사하기 위한 액체로켓엔진의 연소기는 수백 개의 분사기를 통해 연료와 산화제가 혼합되는 구조를 가지고 있다. 따라서 로켓연소기의 연소특성 및 성능은 분사기의 혼합특성에 좌우된다. 그러므로 단일 분사기의 연료/산화제 혼합특성에 대한 많은 실험과 해석연구가 진행되고 있다. 그런데 초임계압력에서는 액체의 표면장력이 사라지게 되어 독특한 혼합특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 성능을 높여주기 위하여 초임계 압력을 선택할 경우 분사기에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이 글에서는 이러한 초임계 작동압력에서 분사기에 대한 연구들을 소개하고자 한다.

The objective of this work focuses on the analysis of injection rate and macroscopic spray behavior characteristics with injection pressures as well as combustion and exhaust emission characteristics with injection timing and injection pressure by using a common rail single-cylinder diesel engine. The injection rate was measured by applying the Bosch method, and macroscopic spray behavior characteristics were analyzed with a constant-volume vessel and a high-speed camera. In addition, combustion and emission characteristics were analyzed in a common-rail single-cylinder diesel engine with precise control of fuel injection timing and pressure. For injection pressures of 30MPa and 50MPa, the injection rate was higher at 50 MPa, and the spray development (penetration) was also higher in the same elapsed time. The peak in-cylinder pressure and rate of heat release showed a tendency to decline as injection timing was delayed, and the peak in-cylinder pressure and rate of heat release were slightly higher for higher injection pressures. Higher injection pressures also reduced the mean effective pressure, while the indicated mean effective pressure and torque increased as injection timing was delayed to TDC. Nitrogen oxides had a peak level at injection timings of $BTDC20^{\circ}$(30MPa) and $BTDC15^{\circ}$(50MPa); carbon monoxide emissions were reduced by delaying injection timing from $BTDC30^{\circ}$.

In this study, changes in cavitation pattern and noise by air injection were investigated experimentally in a cavitation tunnel. Air injection system that can control the location and the amount of air was manufactured and installed in an elliptic wing that exhibits similar characteristics to those of a propeller blade. Various types of cavitation were simulated on the hydrofoil by adjusting the test conditions in the cavitation tunnel, and the changes in cavitation pattern and noise according to air injection were experimentally analyzed. It was shown that the noise characteristics varied depending on the position and the amount of air injection. This means that in order to apply the air injection technology to the propeller, it is necessary to optimize the air injection location and the amount of injection according to the cavitation characteristics.

Spray characteristics of the impinging injectors in subsonic crossflows were experimentally studied and compared with the plain-orifice injectors. By changing the impingement angle (60, 90, 120) which is the same orifice length to diameter ratio (L/d = 5), spray characteristics were investigated. In the view of the top view from the impinging injectors, as the impingement angle increases, the liquid column breakup length in the y-direction was decreased. On the other hand, when the impinging injector is viewed from the side view, the breakup length in the x direction is smaller than the previous plain-orifice injectors, which mean that the atomizing performance of the impingement-type injector is better than that of the single-hole orifice.

항공기용 가스터빈 및 일반적인 산업용 분무시스템에서는 많은 양의 분사액체를 미립화 시키고 시스템의 연속적인 운전과 유지를 편리하게 하기 위하여 여러 개의 분사노즐을 열로 설치하여 동시에 분사하도록 하고 있다. 이렇게 동시에 분사할 경우, 노즐간에 거리가 충분히 크지 않으면 개별적으로 분사된 분무들이 서로 합해져서 하나의 연합된 분무군이 형성된다. 이렇게 Two element에 의해서 형성된 spray는 공급압력이 증가함에 따라 관성력이 증가하게 되어 중심부분에서 액막 혹은 액적상태로서 충돌이 발생하여 복잡한 분무특성을 가질 것이다. 따라서, 연합된 분무군의 특성을 이해하는 것은 응용의 측면에서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 액체 로켓용 추진제 분사기로 많이 활용되는 충돌형 분사기중에서 2중 충돌(F-O-O-F)형 분사기에 대한 미립화 특성을 파악하였다. 액적의 크기를 측정하기 위하여 위상/도플러 입자분석기를 사용하였으며, 모의 추진제로 물을 사용하였다. 모의 추진제의 운동량비와 압력 강하량 변화에 따른 2중 충돌(F-O-O-F)형 분사기의 미립화 특성과 크기분포에 대하여 고찰하였다. 분사기 면으로부터 100mm 떨어진 단면에서 산화제/연료의 운동량비가 MR=1.19에서 MR=6.48까지 증가함에 따라 액적크기(SMD)는 감소하였으며, 액적크기(SMD)가 운동량비(MR)에 대하여 SMD= 193.480+15.687MR-5.036M$R^2$+0.415MR$^3$와 같은 관계식에 근사되었다 또한, 연료와 산화제의 압력강하량이 증가할수록 액적크기(SMD)가 감소하였다. 충돌 분무유동장의 액적크기 분포는 Rosin-Rammler 분포함수와 Upper-limit분포함수 모두에 대하여 잘 일치하고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 액체 로켓용 충돌형 분사기의 초기 설계단계에서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
