Large Eddy Simulation has been conducted to investigate both stable and unstable flame structures in a swirl turbulent combustor. While a flame is stabilized with periodic dynamic structure at 600K, a slight increase in the flame temperature of inlet mixture, 660K, lead to bifurcation of flame at swirl angle 45 degrees. It was observed that both swirl number and mixture temperature affect a flame bifurcation and the former is a major parameter. One major mechanism contributing to the unstable flame is that the local flame speed overshadows the local flow velocity near the wall of the combustor.

Swirling flows inside a swirl mixing chamber are investigated for simple configuration where swirl is produced by a tangential entry type swirl generator. The flow downstream of the swirl generator has been quantified by measurements two velocity components and their corresponding mean values along axial and radial direction using Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). The mass flow rate of the tangential entry is increased in order to study their effect on the flow field. From the measurement profile of velocity and vorticity, flow mixing characteristics in a swirl mixing chamber are evaluated.

This study aim to investigate the internal flow characteristics by recess length of swirl coaxial injector for gas generator has propellant of Kerosene-LOx. Recess length is a very important element, have influence in spray stability and LOx post damage. The influence of recess length was analyzed by visualizing internal flow and measuring liquid film thickness and manifold pressures. Also, each spray characteristic by recess length was investigated in internal or external injector.

In this study, the injector transfer function (ITF) of a gas-gas coaxial jet-swirl injector is measured by perturbing jet or swirl flow using a speaker as jet flow increases. As a result of measuring the ITF varying feed system length, a peak occurs at a resonance frequency of space where the perturbed flow passes. With jet excitation, the ITF magnitude decreases, but increases thereafter as increasing the jet flow. Therefore the larger the velocity difference between jet and swirl flow, the larger the ITF. With swirl excitation, ITF decreases as increasing the jet flow because of the energy decrease with respect to the constant downstream flow.

Generation of pure and controllable excitation waves to excite the natural fast-growing instability waves has always been a difficult task. For this purpose, a device that is capable of supplying co- and counter-swirl was designed, fabricated, and applied. To incorporate a novel, robust mechanical excitation device that is capable of producing disturbances, mechanically and passively, a novel device was designed and built.

실험 데이터는 급확대비 3:1 팽창의 시험관에서의 실험결과를 나타내고 있으며, 실험에 이용된 동작유체로써는 공기가 사용되었다. 입구관에서 레이놀즈수는 60,000으로부터 120,000까지 변하게 하였고, 스월강도는 0으로부터 16까지 변화되게 하였다. 균일한 열 플럭스 경계조건이 사용되었는데, 그 결과 관벽온도 및 체적온도는 24$^{\circ}C$로부터 71$^{\circ}C$까지에 걸쳐 나타났다. 플롯상에 국소 Nusselt수는 최대 열전달점에서 정점을 이루는 모습을 보여 주고 있다. 스월강도가 0으로부터 최대값으로 증가 되었을때, 최고 Nusselt수의 위치는 시험관에서 4로부터 1스텝 하이트로 변경되는 것이 조사되었다. 이러한 최대 Nusselt수의 상류부 이동은 완전 발달된 유동에서의 값보다 2.2배에서 8.8배나 많은 그의 크기를 증가시킨다고 할 수 있다.

An experimental study of decaying swirl air flow has been obtained by tangential inlet in a straight tube with Reynolds number range 20,000~40,000. The friction factor, swirl angle, velocity profiles and turbulent intensity are measured by using micro-manometer and hot-wire anemometer. It is found that the swirl flow behaviors depend on the swirl intensity along the test tube.

The purpose of this investigation is to explore the possibility of using artificial mechanical means for excitation of shear layers with application in swirling jet mixing enhancement. For this purpose, a mechanical excitation device was designed and fabricated. The major system components consist of two subsonic nozzles, one swirl generator, and the excitation device. The experiments were carried out at various helical excitation modes; i.e., m=+0, m=$\pm$1, m=$\pm$2, m=$\pm$3, and m=$\pm$4. Axial mean velocity measurements were made with plane and helical wave excitation using a hot-wire anemometer. The results are compared with the baseline (plane-wave excitation) at various helical modes. The acquired data is presented in 3-D mesh plots and 2-D contour plots. It was observed that new device was effective in excitation of the helical instability waves and resulting in mixing enhancement of the swirling jet.
