The component based propulsion modeling and simulation of an dual ramjet engine using Taylor-Maccoll flow equation and quasi 1-D combustor model. The subsonic and supersonic intake were modeled with Taylor-Maccoll flow having $25^{\circ}$ cone angle, the gas generator which transfers a pre-combustion gas into supersonic combustor was developed using Lumped model, and the determination of the size of nozzle throat of a gas generator was described. A quasi 1-D model was applied to model a supersonic combustor and the variation of temperature and pressure inside combustor were presented. Furthermore, the thrust and specific impulse applying fuel regulation by pressure recovery ratio and equivalence ratio were derived.

The objective of this research is to understand the characteristics of a nonpremixed, turbulent, hydrogen jet flame which is stabilized in Mach 1.8 coflowing air flows. In order to investigate the flame structure, flame lengths and fuel trajectories were measured by using direct photography, acetone PLIF, Mie scattering techniques, and numerical simulation. Effect of increasing air velocity was investigated when fuel velocity is fixed. The subsonic flame length was decreased drastically, however the supersonic flame length was increased slowly Then the change of flame blow out characteristics was observed as varying fuel nozzle lip thickness. The flame stability can be increased when fuel nozzle lip thickness was increased, which indicates that the minimum fuel lip thickness ratio is required for the stable supersonic flames. Also, it is found that fuel jet is blocked by high pressure zone and low scattering zone is made. Then the fuel that was moving along the recirculation zone had longer residence time within the supersonic flames, which made partially premixed zone.

Korea Aeronautics Research Institute (KARI) is developing a turbo pump that has 1-stage impulse turbine and relatively high tip clearance for safety. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of reaction on tip clearance loss in axial turbines. Both cascades were tested in a subsonic wind tunnel. In each cascade, total pressure was measured for tip clearance ranging from 1% to 20% of chord. In results, increasing tip clearance, total pressure loss in reaction turbines is continually increased but impulse turbines keep almost same level of mass averaged total pressure loss. When tip clearance becomes more than 10% of chord, mass-averaged total pressure loss in impulse turbines is less than in reaction. This means that when tip clearance is more than 10% of chord, impulse turbines have better efficiency than reaction turbines.

Gas turbine engine simulation program has been developed. In compressor and turbine, 2-D NS implicit code is used with k-$\omega$ SST turbulent model. In combustor, 0-D lumped method chemical equilibrium code is adopted under the limitations, the products are only 10 species of molecular and air-fuel is perfectly mixed state with 100% combustion efficiency at constant pressure. Fluid properties are shared on interfaces between engine components. The outlet conditions of compressor have been used as the inlet condition of combustor. The inlet condition of turbine comes from the compressor The back pressure in compressor outlet is transferred by the inlet pressure of turbine. Unsteady phenomena at rotor-stator in compressor and turbine is covered by mixing-plane method. The state of engine can be determined only by given inlet condition of compressor, outlet condition of turbine, equivalence ratio and rotating speed.

In this work, a one-dimensional combustor solver was constructed for the scramjet control m odel. The governing equations for fluid flow, Arrhenius based combustion kinetics, and the inje ction model were implemented into the solver. In order to validate the solver, the zero-dimensi onal ignition delay problem and one-dimensional scramjet combustion problem were considered and showed that the solver successfully reproduced the results from the literature. Subsequentl y, a ramjet analysis algorithm under subsonic speed conditions was constructed, and a study o n the inlet Mach number of the combustor was carried out through the thermal choking locatio ns at ram conditions. In such conditions, a model for precombustion shock train analysis was i mplemented, and the algorithm for transition section analysis was introduced. In addition, in or der to determine the appropriateness of the ram mode analysis in the code, the occurrence of a n unstart was studied through the length of the pseudo-shock in the isolator. A performance a nalysis study was carried out according to the geometry of the combustor.

This paper introduces a research on the control method design for the subsonic intake flow of a dual-combustion ramjet engine. To design the control method, the intake flow dynamic response characteristics, based on a designated flow condition and intake geometry, are investigated, and a control method concept considering the intake flow characteristics is established. Using a dynamic simulation model of a dual-combustion ramjet, control input/output linearized models are obtained such that a control loop design based on linearized models can be accomplished. Finally, from various control loop simulations, the performance of the control method, including its control loop stability, is evaluated.

A cruise missile uses wings and a jet engine like an airplane to reach the target after cruising a considerable distance. An integrated design of a cruise missile based on radar cross section (RCS) reduction and enhanced aerodynamic performance is indispensable, since it must be able to fly long-distance at subsonic speed without being detected by enemy radar. In this study, we designed a Taurus-type cruise missile and analyzed its RCS and aerodynamic characteristics using the physical optics (PO) technique and the Navier-Stokes CFD code. As a result, we obtained the optimal shape of cruise missile with improved aerodynamic performance and reduced RCS.

A direct photograph measurement technique was used to determine the spatial distribution of the spray droplet diameter in subsonic crossflow and it also obtain that SMD distribution by using PLLIF technique. The injector internal flow was classified as three modes such as a normal, cavitation, and hydraulic flip. The objectives of this research are getting a droplet distribution and drop size measurement of normal flow and compare with the other flow effects. Although the study showed visually that drop size were spatially dependent of Air-stream velocity, fuel injection velocity, and normalized distance from the injector exit length.(x/d, y/d) There are also difference characteristics between cavitation, hydraulic flip and the normal flow.

This paper presents the flow passage design for a window cooling device, which have a conical poppet valve and an emissive orifice. Computational flow analysis and experiment are conducted according to the poppet strokes. The results show satisfactory flow characteristics that pressure is reduced enough to endure material strength and the flow does not choked inside window. The correction factor of discharge coefficients is found between 2-dimensional analysis and experiments, which is applied to control coolant flow rates of the window cooling device.

Wind tunnel test for Forward-Swept wing airplane model, a part of the Korea-Russia technical cooperation program has been conducted at both TsAGI T-102 and KARI LSWT. The results of TsAGI T-102, obtained by using a unique wire-suspension model support system, and KARI LSWT, used tripod and tandem strut arrangement configuration, are compared with various model conditions including control surface deflection such as flap, aileron, elevator and rudder. Good agreement in the value of drag-polar is observed between TsAGI T-102 and KARI LSWT data. The lateral and directional stability coefficients with rudder and aileron deflection represent a good agreement in both facility.
