가스터빈 연소기의 난류유동장을 구성하는 기본적인 유동형태는 크게 밀폐관내의 돌연 확대를 가지는 동축제트, 선회유동, 그리고 연소공기공 및 회석공기공을 통해 연소실에 수직방향으로 유입되는 제트유동 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 실제 가스터빈 연소기내의 난류유동장을 수치해석하기 위해서는 임의의 형상을 갖는 3차원 유동장을 모사할 수 있는 수치해석법과 고차정확도를 유지하면서도 수렴안정성을 만족시키는 대류항 처리기법 등과 같은 수치모델의 개발이 선행되어야 하며, 이와 함께 복잡한 난류연소유동장을 정확히 묘사할 수 있는 난류모델 및 난류연소모델의 개발 및 검증이 가장 중요한 요인이 된다. 또한 가스터빈 연소기의 최적 설계는 넓은 작동구간에서 높은 효율, NOx 및 CO 배기량의 저감, 희박연소 가연한계의 확장, 연소계통에서의 낮은 압력강하, 낮은 연소벽면온도와 온도구배를 유지시키기 위한 공기에 의한 충분한 냉각 같은 서로 상충되는 설계조건을 만족해야 한다. 그리고, 이러한 상충된 연소설계조건들을 충족시키는 최적 연소기의 설계를 위해서는 실험적인 연구뿐만 아니라 연소기내의 물리적인 현상을 잘 반영할 수 있는 물리적 모델을 바탕으로 한 연소유동의 해석적인 연구를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 가스터빈 연소기의 등온 및 연소유동장, 그리고 연소기와 연결되는 Scroll 내부의 난류유동장에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 수치 및 물리모델의 예측능력을 검증하였고, 가스터빈 연소유동장 해석에 관련된 중요 논점들에 대하여 심도있게 분석하였다.

Combusion instability due to thermoacoustic feedback in a ducted combustor usually excites severe noise and vibration, which could lead to result in the failure of the system or environmental dispute. In the present study, an active noise control(ANC) method with an adaptive algotithm is hired to suppress instability which has very discrete behavior in the frequency domain. Especially a feedback system is composed to evade hot environment of the combustor, and as a preliminary, the performance and stability of the controller is chekced by simulating the real situation with harmonic waves. Application to the real combustor showed serious reductions in sound pressure level by 20∼30 dB. It was also shown that the selected control system was very stable and effective.

The Performance of micro combustor in various condition was exploited experimentally. Various geometric conditions of combustor were considered to figure out the performance of micro combustor. The micro combustor studied in this study was constant volume with cylindrical shape. Geometric parameters of combustor were defined to be combustor height and diameter. The effect of height was exploited parametrically with the size of 1mm, 2mm and 3mm. The effect of diameter was observed parameterized with 7.5mm and 15mm. Three different combustibles or Stoichiometric mixture of methane/air, hydrogen/air were used. Pressure transition during combustion process was recorded. The maximum pressure by combustion responded favorably with the change of height of combustor and the initial pressure. The flame propagation was visulized using Schlieren method. The flame propagation within combustor was observed when specific conditions such as combustor height and initial pressure over critical value was satisfied.

The objective of the present study is to develop methodology for the assessment of combustion stability of liquid rocket injectors. To simulate actual combustion occurring inside of a thrust chamber, a fullscale injector has been employed in the study, which bums gaseous oxygen and mixture of methane and propane. The main idea of the experiment is that the mixing mechanism is considered as a dominant factor significantly affecting combustion instability in a fullscale thrust chamber. A single split triplet injector has been used with an open-end cylindrical combustion chamber. The characteristics revealed by excited dynamic pressures in gaseous combustion show degrees of relative acoustic damping depending on operating conditions. Upon test results, the direct comparison between various types of injectors can be realized for the selection of the best design among prospective injectors.

Characteristics of kerosine spray combustion were investigated at various swirl condition. PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analysis) was used to measure the droplet sizes and velocities. R-type(Platinum vs. Platinum-13%rhodium) thermocouple was used to measure the temperature of combustion flow field inside model combustor. A visualization of spray and flame was performed with still camera. As swirl number increases due to increase of swirl vane angle, the spray and the flame were developed to radial direction rapidly. When swirl number is small, the configuration of flame is cone type, but swirl number is large, the configuration of flame is cylindrical type due to enhanced mixing by the transport of swirl momentum.

Untypical unstable burning with very low frequency was observed at firing test of a gas generator using bundle cylindrical grain. The pressure unbalance between inside and outside of cylindrical grain brought such a low unstable burning. The grains were radially holed so that the high pressure gas inside of grain could quickly moved outward of gain, resulting dissipation of the pressure unbalance However too many holes were required to let the burning be stable for all operation regime from low to high temperature of grain and resultantly deteriorate the Progressive increase of gas amount produced by a gas generator. So another idea using grids located both sides of a bundle grain was applied to dissipate actively large vorticities enhanced by unbalance pressure distribution in a combustor. Finally stable burning with progressively increase of gas was established by application of 5${\times}$5 grid slightly away bundle grain to move bundle gain freely in case pressure unbalance were occurred inside of combustor.

Cylindrical supersonic exhaust diffuser, which utilizes the momentum of high temperature gas exhausted from nozzle, provides simple methods for obtaining stable and low pressure around the propulsion system. Hot zone on which exhausted gas from nozzle exit impinges directly should be cooled to avoid melting of diffuser. This paper describes method and result of subscale high altitude simulation test with water cooling. Subscale gas generator with solid propellant was used for hot gas source and tap water for coolant.

In this study, the autoignition process of liquid fuel, injected into hot and stagnant air in a 2-D axisymmetric confined cylindrical combustor, has been investigated. Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme was adopted to analyze the two-phase flow and combustion. The unsteady conservation equations were used to solve the transition of the gas field. Interactions between two phases were accounted by using the particle source in cell (PSI-Cell) model, which was used for detailed consideration of the finite rates of transports between phases. And infinite conduction model was adopted for the vaporization of droplets. The results have shown that the process of the autoignition consists of heating up of droplets, vaporization, mixing and ignition. The ignition criteria could be determined by the temporal variations of temperature, reaction rate and species mass fraction. And the effects of various parameters on ignition phenomena are examined. These have shown that the increasing the reaction rate and/or the vaporization rate can reduce the ignition delay time.

Catalytic combustion is the environmental-friendly technology, which has been applied to a variety of areas for industrial and domestic use in recent years. Accordingly, this study performed the development of the catalytic manufacturing technology for the high temperature and of the catalytic combustor in priority, which were aimed to be aimed to a commercialized condensing boiler. Palladium(Pd) of a noble meta] was used as a catalyst for the high temperature and supported on $alumina(Al_{2}O_{3})\;and\;zirconia(ZrO_2)$ in constant weight ratio. Activity of Pd catalysts is compared and analysed in the catalytic combustion of natural gas. The ratio of $Pd/Al_{2}O_{3}\;=\;4$ was found to be better than any other weight ratios in activity and durability. The performance examination of catalysts and of combustion through the plate-type combustor made it possible to be developed the cylindrical-type combustor which has increased combustion area. Catalytic combustion condensing boiler of 25,000 kcal/hr class was also developed, which had the optimum combustion condition at the no221e of 5.95mm and the orifice of 21mm. This condition was determined through the performance experiments of catalytic combustion condensing boiler to which the cylindrical-type catalytic combustor was applied.

This paper presents an achieving method of highly progressive pressure gradient to enhance the missile ejection system's performance by using a gas generator. To obtain a stable burning, the decrease of a grain's L/D is proposed except making radial holes through the grain. New approach by applying adjustment of a grain's L/D reduces the maximum acceleration level by about 33% than that of reference model.
