This research is carried out for the performance evaluation of the injector that is one of the critical components of bipropellant-rocket-engine. Spray characteristics are investigated in detail according to the recess length and injection pressure on the swirl-coaxial-injector using gaseous methane and liquid oxygen as propellants. A visualization is conducted by the Schlieren photography that is composed of a light source, concave mirrors, knife, and high-speed-camera. A hollow-cone-shape is identified in the liquid spray that is spread only by inner injector and the spray angle is decreased due to the diminution of swirl strength in accordance with the increase of the length of injector orifice. When the injector sprays the liquid through the inner injector with the aid of gas through the outer injector, the spray angle in external mixing region tends to increase with rise of the recess length, while in internal mixing region, it is decreased. It is also confirmed that the same tendency of the spray angle with recess length appears irrespective of the injection pressure of liquid spray.

A numerical model of the igniter for the interior ballistics has been developed combining the lumped parameter model with the theoretical equation of the orifice. With the developed model of the igniter, the numerical study on characteristics of the interior ballistics according to the igniter configuration in terms of the igniter length, the side hole diameter, and the distribution of side holes has been conducted. As results of the calculation of the pressure difference between the breech and shot base, the low frequency oscillations have been influenced by the igniter length, while the high frequency oscillations have been affected by the side hole diameter and the distribution of side holes.

The study focused on the flow-supply characteristics of the liquid oxidizer $N_2O$ reserved in a tank without any pressurization devices. It was taken accounted that the change of material properties to temperature in the oxidizer tank and the discharge coefficients of both liquid and gas for more precise prediction of the supply mass-flow rate of $N_2O$ oxidizer. To validate the prediction model derived in the study, the experiments were conducted and compare with the theoretical results.

The purpose of this study was experimentally to investigate the disintegration process and disintegration mechanism when co-axial air flows vertically for the longest smooth liquid jet. These were affected by liquid velocity, air velocity, air-to-liquid diameter ratio, nozzle shape, and air-liquid contacting position. That is, this process of disintegration of the liquid jet was similar to that occurred when liquid pressure was increased. At Reynolds number of 10, 000 and below, the changes in the breakup length represent different tendency according to liquid flow rate. The influence of air flow on the disintegration of liquid jet was different according to air-to-liquid diameter ratio, air orifice diameter, nozzle shape and contacting position of liquid and air. In particular, when the tip of liquid nozzle was inside the air orifice, the effect of air flow was the larger than outside the air orifice. The effect of liquid mass flow rate on the change rate of the breakup length was also different.

통상 방조제 배수갑문의 방류능력은 위어공식 또는 오리피스공식을 이용하여 산정하는데, 이 경우 지형특성, 배수갑문 형상에 따른 흐름의 간섭현상, 유입부와 유출부의 형상 등이 방류량에 미치는 영향을 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 도류벽, 배수문, 물받이 등 방조제 배수갑문의 형상과 배치가 방류량에 미치는 영향을 상용 프로그램인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 정량적으로 해석하였다. 이를 통해 배수갑문의 방류능력과 유황을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서는 시화조력발전소를 대상으로 배수갑문의 방류능력 개선에 3차원 수치모의가 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 주요 결론은 다음과 같다. 1) 유출부측의 물받이길이를 40 m 증가시킴에 따라 전체 방류량은 계획안에 비해 약 $10\% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 물받이 끝과 원지반의 연결부 사면을 1:1에서 1:5의 완경사로 변화시킴에 따라 전체 방류량은 약 $2\%$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 배수문과 수차발전 구조물 사이의 유선형 연결구조물을 제거함에 따라 전체 방류량은 약 $3\%$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 도류벽의 접근각도를 $10^{\circ}$ 감소시키거나 증가시킴에 따라 전체 방류량은 약 $5\% 감소 또는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 배수갑문의 설계시 방류능력 개선을 위해서는 수리학적 검토가 필요하며 수치모형실험이 수리모형실험과 더불어 유용한 해석도구로 이용될 수 있음을 보인 것으로, 이후 관련 구조물의 설계시 참고자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.다. 실험 결과, Escarameia와 May가 제안한 공식을 더 확장하여 적용할 수 있는 실험 공식으로 개선하였으며 다양한 조건에 대한 실험을 수행하여 보다 정밀한 공식으로 개선할 수 있었다.$10,924m^3/s$ 및 $10,075m^3/s$로서 실험 I의 $2,757m^3/s$에 비해 통수능이 많이 개선되었음을 알 수 있다.함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.8R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\

Analysis of discharge characteristics through control gates at river crossing structures is important for an effective water level control and water resources management. In recent years, many river control structures in four major rivers are under construction but only few researches on discharge characteristics at control gates could be found in Korea. The discharge characteristics depend on both shape of control gates and the effects of downstream water-depth. In this research, classification index for discharge patterns (free weir, submerged weir, free orifice, submerged orifice) through a control gate were reviewed with $h_g/h_1$, $h_3/h_g$, and $h_3/h_1$. Classification criteria of discharge patterns were also suggested. Representative discharge estimation equations for each discharge patterns were adopted and discharge coefficients were developed from a hydraulic model for a specific control gate which will be constructed in Nakdong river. Reliability of the derived discharge equation and coefficients were confirmed by comparisons between the real discharge in a model and the predicted discharge from the results of this research.

This study reports a numerical analysis of the internal flow characteristics of the integrated urea-SCR muffler system with the various geometries of the multi-perforated tube which is set up between the muffler inlet and in front of SCR catalysts. The multi-perforated tube is generally used to disperse uniformly the urea-water solution spray and to make better use of the SCR catalyst, resulting in the increased $NO_x$ reduction and decreased ammonia slip. The effects of the multi-perforated tube orifice area ratios on the velocity distributions in front of the SCR catalyst, which is ultimately quantified as the uniformity index, were investigated for the optimal muffler system design. The steady flow model was applied by using a general-purpose commercial software package. The air at the room temperature was used as a working fluid, instead of the exhaust gas and urea-water solution spray mixture. From the analysis results, it was clarified that the multi-perforated tube geometry sensitively affected to the formation of the bulk swirling motion inside the plenum chamber set in front of the SCR catalyst and to the uniformity index of the velocity distribution produced at the inlet of the catalyst.

Natural gas is a promising alternative fuel that can be used to satisfy the strict engine emission regulations in many countries. To develop natural-gas engines, low emission, efficient fuel consumption, and increased power ratings have to be realized. In this study, a cylindrical constant-volume combustion chamber (CVCC) was used to investigate natural-gas combustion characteristics for different prechamber design parameters and equivalence ratios. In particular, the maximum combustion pressure and mass fraction of the burned gas were evaluated by considering orifice diameter, volume ratio of prechamber and equivalence ratio. Using this result and by analyzing the changes in combustion characteristics with variations in design parameters, the optimum prechamber parameters were determined.
