왕복동 내연 기관 실린더 내의 가스 유동은 기관의 성능 향상, 연소 개선, 배기 정화 등에 직접적 으로 영향을 미치는 인자로 되며, 최근 각종 유동의 측정 방법 및 측정 장치의 개발은 가스 유동 계측에 많은 발전을 가져 왔다. 특히 각종 열기관의 연소 성능 향상을 위한 노력은 기관의 성능 향상과 더불어 여소 배출물의 유해 성분 저감을 위한 연구에 더욱 박차를 가하게 되었다. 이에 따라서 기관의 최적 제어 운전, 자동 제어 연료 공급 및 분사장치 등에 이르기까지 많은 노력이 경주되어 왔다. 이러한 연구 개발에 못지 않게 중요한 것은 실린더 내의 연소 성능을 향상시키 는 것이며 이를 위해서는 먼저 기관 실린더 내부의 가스 유동을 밝히고, 유동의 모델링, 유동장의 계측, 연소장의 유동 측정 등의 연구가 매우 중요한 것으로 생각된다. 실린더 내의 연소 및 유 동장의 연구는 주로 연소 특성치를 관한 연구와 유동장을 중심으로 하는 흐름의 시뮬레이션을 비롯 유동장의 계측으로 크게 나눌 수 있다. 여기서는 주로 실린더 내의 가스 유동의 측정 방 법과 최근의 연구 동향에 대하여 몇 가지 측정의 보기를 중심으로 다루기로 한다.

Effect of radial position of half-wave resonator is investigated experimentally for acoustic damping in a combustion chamber by adopting acoustic cold test. Acoustic damping is quantified by damping factor. When resonator with optimal tuning length is installed, damping is enhanced as its radial location is away from the center of the faceplate. And, spatial profile of damping factor is similar to that of the amplitude of the acoustic mode to be damped. As the location is close to the center, acoustic damping is mitigated and independent of the resonator length. On the other hand, the resonator with non-optimal length dose not show any effects of its radial position. Acoustic-damping capacity can be evaluated as functions of resonator length and position.

High altitude ignition test was performed to understand high altitude ignition characteristics of slinger combustor. To verify ignition limits, test was carried out with variation of altitude and fuel nozzle rotational speed using AETF(Altitude Engine Test Facility) in KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute). From the result, the effect of major factors which affect on ignition characteristics was observed. The reduction of ignition limit with increasing altitude and expansion of ignition limit with increasing rotational speed of fuel nozzle was verified. Also minimum rotational speed of fuel nozzle at high altitude must be greater than that of seal level condition.

To optimize and limit the axial length of the baffle of the KSR-III engine, stability rating tests using pulse gun as one of artificial disturbance devices have been done. Generally a rocket engine can be considered to be dynamically stable if a certain imposed external perturbation or pressure oscillation in rocket combustion chamber could be suppressed within a short time period. Decay time and other parameters for the evaluation of stabilization ability of an engine to external perturbation have been analyzed to quantify stabilization capacity of engine, in other words, dynamic stability margin. Baffle not covering flame zone enough which can be considered as collision region of injector wasn't be able to suppress external perturbation sufficiently. The limit of combustion stability margin of engine is assumed to be 50 mm length baffle of the KSR-III engine.

This study is to investigate the effects of aromatics and T90 for low cetane number (CN) fuels on combustion and exhaust emissions in low-temperature diesel combustion. We use a 1.9-L common rail direct injection diesel engine at 1500 rpm and 2.6 bar BMEP. Low temperature diesel combustion was achieved via a high external EGR rate and strategic injection control. The tested fuels four sets: the aromatic content was 20% (A20) or 45% (A45) and the T90 temperature was $270^{\circ}C$ (T270) or $340^{\circ}C$ (T340) with CN 30. Given the engine operating conditions, the T90 was the stronger factor on the ignition delay time, resulting in a longer ignition delay time for higher T90 fuels. All the fuels produced nearly zero PM because of the extension of the ignition delay time induced by the low cetane number. The aromatic content was the main factor that affected the NOx and the NOx increased with the aromatic content.

An experimental study on a fuel-rich gas generator was carried out. Thirty seven double-swirl injectors with recess number of 1.5 were distributed and installed in the injector head, which significantly influences the combustion performance. In the paper, the characteristics of combustion stability are inspected by the parametric varations such as changing length and diameter of a combustion chamber and installing a turbulence ring. The experimental results show that as a resonant frequency took place in a high region, the amplitude of the dynamic pressure generally diminished, however, the combustion instability could not be suppressed perfectly.

액체추진 로켓엔진의 개발과정에서 고주파 연소불안정은 엔진의 비행 안정성 및 성능의 보장을 위해 반드시 고려해야 하는 중요한 인자이다. 특히 액체추진 로켓엔진에 사용되는 다양한 추진제 조합 중 LOX/RP-1은 그 성능, 가용성, 경제성 등의 측면에서 우수한 추진제이지만 F-1 엔진의 개발과정에서와 같이 여타 추진제 조합에 비해 고주파 연소불안정 특성이 강하게 나타난다. 액체추진 로켓엔진의 음향불안정 특성 예측을 위해 다양한 방법이 제시되어 왔다. 그 중 n-$\tau$ 2 매개변수 법은 연소불안정 특성 예측에 실험적 고찰을 통한 간단한 연소모델을 포함하는 것으로 신속한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점 때문에 엔진의 예비설계 및 본 설계과정에서 인정성 측면의 분석을 위해 널리 사용되고 있고 기존의 엔진 개발과정을 통해 그 신뢰성이 검증되어 왔다.

Hybrid rocket displays many different low frequency pressure oscillations during combustion. Thermal lag between solid and gas phase is the primary mechanism to trigger low frequency pressure oscillations of around 10Hz, and Helmholtz or $L^*$ mode also produces other types of low frequency oscillations above 10 Hz which is associated with the change in combustion volume. Since the flow characteristics in hybrid rocket is very similar to those in solid rocket combustion, it is not surprising to observe similar pressure oscillation behaviors. Experimental test shows that combustion pressure suddenly turns into to a big amplitude oscillation around 10Hz then followed by returning to an original pressure level after a short period combustion. Further investigations show that this instability is independent of the change in O/F ratio at all. One of the possible candidates is the vortex shedding dynamics over the backward step in the post combustion chamber. It is required to investigate the low frequency oscillation mechanism in the future study.

In order to understand the operation characteristics and major design parameters of a dual combustion ramjet engine, a fundamental analysis model based on gasdynamics and thermodynamic theories was established. The preliminary performance analysis was accomplished and the results clearly describe the intimate relationship between air inlets, gas generator, and supersonic combustor. The methodology presented provides a means for quantitatively determining the geometries of the gas generator and supersonic combustor and assessing the effects on performance of each of the engine components. Also the design results for a basic configuration were provided.

Acoustic tuning frequency of quarter-wave resonators is investigated numerically to suppress combustion instability in a liquid rocket engine. A quarter-wave resonator is adopted, which was designed from the cold acoustic test for optimal damping condition. First, in a model combustion chamber scaled down from a full-scale chamber, reactive flow filed is analyzed numerically and acoustic-pressure responses are examined. Next, thermodynamic properties in the resonators are predicted. Based on the data, frequency tuning method is studied. The optimum tuning length of each resonator is proposed and thereby, sufficient damping is produced.
