This paper depicts the computational results for the axisymmetric subsonic/sonic ejector systems with a second throat. The numerical simulations are based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme of the compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a domain that extends from the stagnation chamber to the ejector diffuser exit. In order to obtain practical design factors for the subsonic/sonic ejector systems which are applicable to industrial vacuum pumps, the ejector throat area, the mixing section configuration, and the ejector throat length are changed in computations. For the subsonic/sonic ejector systems operating in the range of low operation pressure ratios, the effects of the design factors on the vacuum performance of the secondary chamber are discussed.

In order to predict the performance of subsonic/sonic ejector system and to provide fundamental data for a cost effective design, one dimensional gas dynamics theory was applied to the subsonic and sonic ejector systems with the second throat. In the current theoretical analyses, ejector throat area ratio, mass flow ratio and secondary stagnation pressure were derived as a function of the operating pressure ratio of the ejector, and the discharge coefficient of the primary nozzle and the loss coefficient of the diffuser were incorporated into the whole performance of the ejector system. The results of theoretical analysis can be applied to practical industrial use of subsonic and sonic gas ejector systems.

For the purpose of a cost effective design of practical subsoni $c^ersonic ejector systems, an experiment was carried out using a superheated steam as a primary driving flow. The superheated steam jet was produced by several different kinds of subsonic and supersonic nozzles. The secondary flow of atmospheric air inside a plenum chamber was drawn into the primary steam jet. The vacuum performance of the plenum chamber was investigated for a wide range of the ejector operation pressure ratio. The result showed that the static pressure of the mixed flow at the ejector throat is only a function of the ejector operation pressure ratio, regardless of the primary nozzle type employed.ed.

Compound flow by confluence of two parallel flows through a convergent channel and its choking phenomenon are calculated by one-dimensional isentropic model and completely mixing model. Optical observations and pressure measurements for subsonic/subsonic compound flows are carried out and compared with the results of one-dimensional calculations. As a result, it is found that inlet conditions of one flow influence the behavior of the other flow as well as the choking condition and present experimental data agree well with the results of one-dimensional calculations.

Flush Air Data Sensing system (FADS) estimates air data states using pressure data measured at the surface of flight vehicles. The FADS system does not require intrusive probes, so it is suitable for high performance aircrafts, stealth vehicles, and hypersonic flight vehicles. In this study, calibration procedures and solution algorithms of the FADS for a sphere-cone shape vehicle are presented for the prediction of air data from subsonic to supersonic flights. Five flush pressure ports are arranged on the surface of nose section in order to measure surface pressure data. The algorithm selects the concept of separation for the prediction of flow angles and the prediction of pressure related variables, and it uses the pressure model which combines the potential flow solution for a subsonic flow with the modified Newtonian flow theory for a hypersonic flow. The CFD code which solves Euler equations is developed and used for the construction of calibration pressure data in the Mach number range of 0.5~3.0. Tests are conducted with various flight conditions for flight Mach numbers in the range of 0.6~3.0 and flow angles in the range of -10°~+10°. Air data such as angle of attack, angle of sideslip, Mach number, and freestream static pressure are predicted and their accuracies are analyzed by comparing predicted data with reference data.

In this paper, aerodynamic characteristics of missile configuration with various grid fins in subsonic flow. To investigate the effects of grid fin shape, four types of experimental models were used. In addition, to examine aerodynamic characteristics of missile configurations with various grid fins according to effects of Reynolds numbers and configurations of grid fins, 6-components aerodynamic forces and moments were measured by internal balance in wind tunnel test.

압축성 유동은 유동의 속도(Mach 수)에 따라, 아음속에서 초음속으로 바뀜에 따라 지배 방정 식의 형태가 바뀜은 물론이고 천음속에서는 아음속과 초음속이 공존하므로 지배방정식 자체도 두 가지 형태가 공존하는 어려움이 앞선다. 또한 압축성 유동장에서는 비압축성 유동장에서는 없는 충격파를 전후하여 유동변수들의 큰 불연속이 존재하게 되고, 이러한 불연속선을 유한한 크기의 계산격차를 사용하여 정확하게 해석한다는 것이 그렇게 쉬운 일이 아니다. 또한 저속의 비압 축성 유동에 비하여 일반적으로 보다 많은 독립변수들을 동시에 다루어야 하므로 대형컴 퓨터 용량과 빠른 계산속도를 요구하게 되며 국내에서는 2∼3년 전까지만 하더라도 실질적인 연구가 매우 어려운 실정이었다. 따라서 본 글에서는 최근 들어 대학실험실에 고성능 퍼스널 컴퓨터의 도입과 더불어 활발하게 진행되고 있는 압축성 유동의 수치해석 연구에 대하여 그 동 안의 국내연구 결과들을 모아 분류, 정리해 보고 앞으로의 연구에 대하여 간단히 언급해 보고자 한다.

This paper investigates CFD investigation on single phase supersonic nozzle flow and 2-phase subson ic flow prior to rocket nozzle supersonic 2-phase flow with water injection within the flame deflector. Numerical results of supersonic nozzle single phase flow showed no notable unrealistic behavior as it captures the usual shock cell structures. Three-dimensional 2-phase flow analysis has also been performed to verify whether the approach can grab the droplet behavior during cooling by water injection. It is expected these basic studies will enhance the cooling problem analysis of supersonic 2-phase rocket plume in the future.
