Numerical analysis was performed on the shock wave-boundary layer interaction generated in the internal flow path of the curved interstage of the scramjet engine flight test vehicle. For numerical analysis, the turbulence model k-ω SST was used in the compressibility Raynolds Averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) equation. Representatively, the separation bubbles on the upper wall of the nozzle, the interaction between the concave shock wave and the boundary layer, and the shock wave-shock wave interaction at the edge were captured. The analysis result visualizes the shock wave-boundary layer interaction of the curved internal flow path to enhance understanding and suggest design considerations.

For the development of Scramjet engine technology, intake designing processes are investigated. The basic geometry is determined by the inviuld relation such as shock wave relations and geometric relations. Furthermore, bleed duct is installed for preventing boundary layer development and shock wave impingement. Performance of the designed intake is validated by numerical analysis. As a result, double- wedge intake showed better characteristics in total pressure recovery than single-wedge intake.

A gas deflector cooling system plays an important role in the suppression of shock wave generated during the ignition of a launch vehicle engine. Also, this system decrease a large vibration of damaging the payload and structure of the launch vehicle. The gas deflector cooling system in the launch pad of NARO space center was constructed to directly inject water into the plume of the launch vehicle engine. The flight test result of NARO space launch vehicle showed that this method had a good performance on the viewpoint of cooling the gas deflector.

초음속 흡입구는 고속 비행에서 발생하는 충격파를 이용하여 제트엔진 내부에 유입되는 공기를 압축시키는 구조로써 주로 램제트와 스크램제트 엔진에 적용되어 연구개발이 진행되어 왔으며 현재는 미사일의 추진체 개발에도 응용되고 있다. 초음속 영역에서의 흡입구는 cone 모양의 스파이크 구조를 통해 경사충격파가 생성되어 외부에서의 공기압축을 먼저 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD를 이용하여 외부압축 초음속 흡입구 주위의 공기유동을 해석하고 Cubbison, R.W.의 풍동실험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 초음속 흡입구 주위의 유동을 2D 축대칭 압축성 유동으로 가정하고 EDISON CFD의 2D_Comp_P 솔버를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

액체 램제트 엔진의 특성은 흡입구를 통해 들어오는 유입공기의 상태에 따라 많이 달라진다. 흡입구에 들어오는 공기의 유입각이 일정각도를 넘어서면 유입공기의 왜곡이 심하여 정상적인 연소가 불가능 할 수 있다. 따라서 다양한 비행조건에 따른 램제트 엔진의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 외부 유입영역, 흡입구, 연소기, 노즐 및 출구 대기 영역을 함께 계산하여 유동 특성과 연소 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 흡입구는 마하 2.0을 기준으로 설계하고, 4각 덕트에서 완만하게 원형 덕트로 변화되는 확대관의 형상으로 비행체에 붙어 있는 것으로 격자를 구성하였다. 흡입구에서의 유동 조건은 비행체을 지난 유속이 마하 2.0과 2.2의 경우에 대하여 수치 실험을 수행하였으며, 비반응 유동 해석과 연소가 있는 반응 유동해석 결과를 흡입구를 포함하지 않았던 선행 연구 결과들과 비교하였다. 유입각이 영 일 때의 흡입구를 포함한 계산 결과는 흡입구에서 생성되는 충격파에 의한 손실로 총압력이 흡입구를 포함하지 않았던 선행 연구 결과와 차이가 있었으나 유동 특성에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 유입각이 증가함에 따라 흡입구로 유입되는 공기의 량이 감소하고 그에 따른 유동의 왜곡이 심하여 연소특성에 변화를 보여 주었다.

Total pressure recovery ratio in intake is crucial factor to the operational characteristics of supersonic propulsion system because it does not compress inlet air mechanically by compressor, but does compress inlet air by ram compression. As the result of that the dynamic characteristic analysis of engine was performed before the controller was designed, it could be ascertained when the AoA of flight vehicle increases, the buzz margin decreases so that the shock wave produced outside intake in the specified area according to flight operation's characteristics. Therefore the PID control algorithm was designed to be controlled buzz margin that the characteristic of shock wave could meet the requirement of performance in intake. The PID controller was designed that the buzz margin value is being positive number using the control variables; fuel flow and nozzle throat area.

The structural safety of nuclear power plant against impact from aircraft crash has been performed so far in two viewpoints such as local behavior and global behavior, and the local behavior has been evaluated using local damage evaluation formulas suggested based on the results of experimental data of RC (Reinforcement Concrete) wall. However, few data have been collected from recent research to evaluate the local behavior and damage of SC (Steel plate reinforced Concrete) wall, which is recently applied to the newly designed nuclear power plant. In this study, local damages of SC wall and RC wall against an idealized aircraft engine projectile impact are evaluated through FE simulation analyses with various wall thicknesses and steel ratio. Through analysis of local collision simulation results of SC and RC wall, the penetration depth of SC wall and RC wall are compared.

Most air-breathing aircraft operated in the hypersonic region are equipped with a scramjet engine. In a scramjet engine, a shock wave generated at an inlet acts as a compressor for a general gas turbine engine instead, so total pressure loss caused by the shock wave is considered very important. In this study, to minimize total pressure loss, a method of designing an external compression inlet using isentropic compression surface was proposed, and an external compression inlet with 3-deflection angles and Busemann inlet were designed under the same conditions. After that, through computational analysis, the performance characteristics at off-design conditions were compared. Each inlet shape was truncated according to the length of the 3-ramp external compression inlet, and the boundary layer correction was performed. The isentropic external compression inlet showed superior performance at the design point, but under the off-design conditions, its performance was degraded compared to the 3-ramp external compression inlet.

A supersonic ground test facility to develop Ramjet and SCRamjet(Supersonic Combustion Ramjet) engine should be able to simulate high altitude and high Mach number conditions including air total pressure, oxygen level and specific heat ratio at the combustion chamber entrance. The test facility also should simulate the effect of oblique shock wave caused by the flight vehicle. The test facility developed in this study is supersonic free-jet blowdown type, which consists of high pressure air supply source(maximum pressure=32MPa), air heater(vitiation type), supersonic diffuser, ejector, and test chamber(nozzle exit dimension=200mm$\times$200mm).
