An injector plays an important role in the process of an efficient combustion in liquid-rocket engines (LRE). This paper is focused on the injection performance of a small LRE-injector by employing the spray characteristic parameters made up of the velocity, Sauter mean diameter, and turbulence intensity. An experimental investigation is carried out with the aid of a dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA) according to the injection pressure variation and along transverse axis, spatially. The Weber number and Reynolds number are used to characterize the atomization and turbulence nature of injector spray.

A theoretical study of spray and combustion characteristics due to coaxial twin-fluid injection is conducted to investigate the effects of liquid jet property, droplet size, contact length and liquid jet velocity. Model is properly validated with measurements and shows good agreement. Prediction of jet contact length, droplet size, liquid jet velocity reflects genuine features of coaxial injection in physical and practical aspects. Both the jet contact length and tile droplet size are reduced in a linear manner with an increase of injector diameter. Cross sectional area of liquid intact core is reduced with augmented jet splitting rate, thus the jet is accelerated to maintain the mass continuity and with an assistant of momentum diffusion by burnt gas.

최적의 액체 램제트 연소기 설계를 위하여 흡입공기와 분무, 혼합 그리고 이에 따른 연소의 일련의 과정이 일어나는 램제트 연소기의 유동해석을 2차원 및 3차원으로 수행하였다. 격자구성은 연소기에 공기를 공급하고 연료를 분무하는 공기 유입관 영역과 연소실 및 노즐 영역, 그리고 출구 대기 영역으로 나누어 독자적으로 격자를 생성시켰다. 연소실 내의 유동 특성에 있어서 2차원과 3차원의 유동해석 결과는 선회영역 유동특성이 크게 차이가 남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 실제 액체 램제트 연소기의 설계를 위해서는 3차원 유동해석과 실험이 반드시 필요하다.

A fundamental study on a gas injection variable thrust method for thrust throttling in a liquid rocket engine was conducted. The gas injection variable thrust has the advantage of not only being able to control the thrust with a simple structure but it also increases the atomization performance through the injection pressure drop that increases in direct proportion to the density reduction. In this study, spray characteristics such as spray instability, spray pattern, spray angle, and breakup length based on changes in the liquid mass flow rate and amount of injected gas were investigated using effervescent swirl injectors.

A numerical study for spray flow of fuel and oxidizer droplets in the combustion chamber has been conducted prior to the analysis of spray combustion of the liquid rocket engine. As the spray combustion model, DSF model and Euler-Lagrange scheme have been used. While the coupling effects of the droplets between gas phase and evaporated vapor have been calculated using PSIC model, SIMPLER algorithm and QUICK scheme have been used as numerical schemes. As the results, the calculations have shown velocity and temperature distribution in combustion chamber as well as mole fraction of fuel and oxidizer.

액체 연료 분포의 균일성과 대칭성은 연소 효율을 높이고, 공해 물질을 줄이는데 있어서 필수적인 요소이기 때문에 분무 패턴을 정량적으로 해석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 고전적으로 사용되고 있는 mechanical patternator는 ⅰ) 유동을 교란시키고, ⅱ) 공간 분해능이 떨어지며, ⅲ) 복잡한 재순환 유동이나 화학 반응이 있는 유동에서의 적용이 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위하여 레이저를 이용한 optical patternator에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. Optical patternator는 유동을 교란시키지 않으면서 고해상도의 분무 패턴 측정을 할 수 있다. 형광 신호는 물질의 체적에 비례한다. 따라서, 레이저 평면광을 분무에 조사시켜 주어서 유도되는 형광 신호를 이용하는 평면액체 레이저 유도 형광법(PLLIF : Planar Liquid Laser Induced Fluorescence)은 분무패턴을 알아보는 매우 유용한 방법이다.

By using liquid and gaseous nitrogen as simulants, effects of pintle opening distance and simulant supplying condition on spray from pintle injector were investigated qualitatively. The experiment was performed by fixing the liquid supply pressure and varying the opening of the pintle and the supply pressure of gaseous nitrogen. Shadowgraph method with CCD camera was used for image visualization, and the differences of liquid-gas spray were compared by image post processing. In case of liquid nitrogen single injection, as the opening distance was increased, the injection speed was decreased. Therefore, the end of liquid sheet were converged to the center of spray. In the case of liquid nitrogen/Gaseous nitrogen spray, although shadowgraph images look similar to each other, It is shown that it can be analysed by image post processing.
