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.

The characteristic of jet impinging on the concave surface were analyzed through thermographic phosphor thermometry (TPT) and numerical investigation. Under a jet Reynolds number of 6600, nozzle diameters and nozzle-to-surface distances (H/d) were changed 5mm and 10mm and H/d=2 and 5. The RNG k-ε turbulence model can accurately predict the distribution of Nusselt number, compared to other models (SST k-ω, realizable k-ε). Heat transfer characteristics varied with the nozzle diameter and H/d, with a secondary peak noted at H/d =2, due to vortex-induced flow detachment and reattachment. An increase in nozzle diameter enhanced jet momentum, turbulence strength, and heat transfer.

This study was carried out to investigate the flow structure and mixing process of a cross mixing flow formed by two round jets with respect to the ratio of mass flow rate. This flow configuration is of great practical relevance in a variety of combustion systems, and the flow behaviour of a cross jet defends critically on the ratio of mass flow rate and the cross angle. The mass flow rate ratios of two different jets were controlled as 1.0, 0.8, 0.6, and 0.4, and the crossing angle of two round jets was fixed at 45 degree. The velocities issuing from jet nozzle with an exit diameter of 20mm were adjusted to 40m/s, 32m/s, 24m/s, and 16m/s, and the measurements have been conducted in the streamwise range of $1.1X_0$to $2.5X_0$ by an on-line measurement system consisted of a constant temperature type two channel hot-wire anemometry connected to a computer analyzing system. The original air flow was generated by a subsonic wind tunnel with reliable stabilities and uniform flows in the test section. For the analysis of the cross mixing flow structure in the downstream region after the cross point, the mean velocity profiles, the resultant velocity contours, and the three-dimensional profiles depending upon the mass flow rate ratio have been concentrately studied.

Axisymmetric shear layers around a free jet is forced by co-flowing and counter-flowing secondary jets from/to an annular tube around the jet nozzle. The jet potential core extends far downstream with co-flowing secondary jets due to inhibited vortex developing and pairing. For counter-flowing cases, the axisymmetric shear layer around the jet transits from convective instability to absolute instability for velocity ratios R＝1.3～l.65 for the uniform velocity jets. Consequently, the jet potential core length increases and the turbulence level in the jet core is reduced significantly. The jets are controlled better with extension collars attached to the outer nozzle exit because the annular secondary flow is guided well by the extension collars. For the vectoring of jet, the annular tube around the jet is divided in two parts and the only one part is used for suction. The half suction makes the different shear layer around the jet and vectoring the jet by Coanda effect. The vectoring and turbulent components are varied significantly by the suction ratio. The experiments are carried out to investigate the characteristics of forced free jets using flow visualization, velocity and turbulence measurements.

New definition for the interaction of flames is introduced and interacting turbulent diffusion flames issuing from two rectangular nozzles are investigated on the basis of the definition. Theoretical study through numerical model is carried out and experiment for validation is conducted. The characteristics of interaction due to the variation of major parameters such as nozzle spacing, Reynolds number and nozzle aspect ratio are studied. Results show that strong interaction occurs for small nozzle spacing, small Reynolds number and large aspect ratio. In order of their magnitude, the intensity of interactions on the individual transport mechanism is momentum, heat and mass. It is also found that interaction makes flames longer, tilted and finally merged. Increase of velocities and temperature, decrease of oxygen concentration and depression of turbulence are occurred in the region between flames.

This study investigated the acoustic forcing effects on the liquid column breakup length and the trajectory of liquid jets in crossflows. Cold-flow tests with a single hole circular nozzle injector were carried out by changing the injection pressure and acoustic forcing amplitude. Additionally, spray images were obtained at 12 phase angles to investigate the influence of the phage angle. The results revealed that the liquid column breakup lengths generally decreased under the acoustic forcing conditions, in comparison to those under the non-acoustic forcing conditions. However, they were not affected by the variation in the phase angles. On the contrary, it was found that the acoustic forcing hardly influenced the liquid column trajectories.

The goal of this study is to provide fundamental information on the design of a new diesel injector system. The cylindrical disk spray was made by an impinging disk insited below the exit of air-assist atomizor. The disintegration processes on a twin-fluid atomization by air-assist atomizor were investigated. Liquid jet was disintegrated at the condition that wavelength was equal and longer than the circumference of the liquid jet, .lambda. .geq. .pi.do. However, the wavelength and the diameter of the liquid jet were decreased according to the increasing of air velocity. The relative density distribution of droplets and pattern of spray by impinging disk were investigated with a C-CCD. Optimum design conditions for cylindrical disk spray were also achieved. The pattern of cylindrical spray can classified according to the size of the disk and the distance from the nozzle tip to the disk. When the space of the disk and the nozzle tip was narrow and the diameter of the disk was larger than that of the air orifice of the nozzle exit, the good distribution of spray could be achieved. When the air flowrate was constant, the spray width was decreased according to the increasing of the liquid flowrate. When the liquid flowrate was constant, the spray width was decreased according to the increasing of the air flowrate.

Decays of the ceiling jet front velocity under a circular ceiling are investigated. To simulate the ceiling jet in fires He and $N_2$gas were injected from a nozzle to the center of the ceiling. The jet fronts in the form of turbulent eddies were traced by a high-speed camera system. The instantaneous locations of the front were obtained from visual readings of visualized front, and the radial velocity was calculated from the information of the time and the location with respect to the front. The similarity and dimensional analysis were also carried out to reveal the relationship between the velocity decay and the radial distance. It was shown that the radial velocity of the front was inversely proportional to the radial distance in the fully developed region from the experimental results and the theoretical analysis.

The purpose of the Monte Carlo simulation study was to provide the optimized nozzle design to satisfy the beam conditions for biomedical researches in the Korean heavy-ion accelerator, RAON. The nozzle design was required to produce $C^{12}$ beam satisfying the three conditions; the maximum field size, the dose uniformity and the beam contamination. We employed the GEANT4 toolkit in Monte Carlo simulation to optimize the nozzle design. The beams for biomedical researches were required that the maximum field size should be more than $15{\times}15cm^2$, the dose uniformity was to be less than 3% and the level of beam contamination due to the scattered radiation from collimation systems was less than 5% of total dose. For the field size, we optimized the tilting angle of the circularly rotating beam controlled by a pair of dipole magnets at the most upstream of the user beam line unit and the thickness of the scatter plate located downstream of the dipole magnets. The values of beam scanning angle and the thickness of the scatter plate could be successfully optimized to be $0.5^{\circ}$ and 0.05 cm via this Monte Carlo simulation analysis. For the dose uniformity and the beam contamination, we introduced the new beam configuration technique by the combination of scanning and static beams. With the combination of a central static beam and a circularly rotating beam with the tilting angle of $0.5^{\circ}$ to beam axis, the dose uniformity could be established to be 1.1% in $15{\times}15cm^2$ sized maximum field. For the beam contamination, it was determined by the ratio of the absorbed doses delivered by $C^{12}$ ion and other particles. The level of the beam contamination could be achieved to be less than 2.5% of total dose in the region from 5 cm to 17 cm water equivalent depth in the combined beam configuration. Based on the results, we could establish the optimized nozzle design satisfying the beam conditions which were required for biomedical researches.

A modified VIStA (Vortex Inertial Staged Air) burner has been developed and applied to a once-through type boiler. The secondary air is supplied through a swirler instead of nozzles, which stabilizes the flame and reduces carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. However, the modification increases the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). To balance emissions of the two pollutants, a divided flame was adopted. An air damper was installed to control the distribution of air to each combustion chamber, and three types of flame dividers were studied. The effects of the air-fuel ratio and combustion load on the NOx formation were investigated. The divided flame was found to reduce the NOx emission up to 25%, while keeping the CO to less than 10 ppm.
