Flow characteristics of dual bell nozzle with pintle were investigated. Thrust and thrust coefficient were compared with the pintle-bell nozzle of the same condition, and difference according to the pintle stroke was investigated. At stroke 0 mm, the thrust of the dual bell nozzle was about 13.18% higher than the bell nozzle, and when the pintle was backward, it was similar to the bell nozzle. The change in expansion ratio with stroke was considered to be more advantageous for a dual bell nozzle that performs altitude compensation through separation and transition.

Increasing cruise speed is an important issue for the development of the next generation rotorcraft. Among several concepts proposed by previous research, the rotorcraft with ducted fan demonstrates its possibility of high-speed flight. In this study, numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the aerodynamic and flow characteristics of multi-ducted fan in forward flight. The aerodynamic efficiency around front ducted fan is determined by interaction between free-stream velocity and the induced velocity. While flow characteristics of rear ducted fan are dominantly influenced by the front ducted fan. Separation in the front ducted fan occurs faster than that of rear ducted fan, and the separation at duct inlet induces an increase of fan thrust. As a result of interaction effect between each ducted fan, relatively aligned inflow enters to the rear ducted fan. Therefore, thrust of the rear fan is decreased steadily before separation, and sudden changes of thrust in fans occur simultaneously. Due to the pressure decrease on lower surface, the normal force of rotorcraft is reduced with forward speed.

The plume interference is a complex phenomenon, consisting of plume-induced boundary layer separation, separated shear layer, multiple shock waves, and their interactions. The base knowledge of plume interference effect on powered missiles and flight vehicles is not yet adequate to get an overall insight of the flow physics in plume-freestream flow field. Computational studies are performed to better understand the flow physics of the plume-induced shock and separation for Simple, Rounded, Porous-extension test model configurations. The present study simulates highly underexpanded exhaust plume effect on missile body at the transoni $c^ersonic speeds. In order to investigate the plume-induced separation phenomenon, Simple, Rounded and Porous-extension plate are attacked to the missile afterbody. The computational result shows that the rounded afterbody and the porous-extension wall attached at the missile base can alleviate the plume-induced shock wave and separation phenomenon and improve the control of the missile body.dy.

The objective of this study is to investigate the turbulence models with compressibility correction for large separation-flow in a supersonic convergent-divergent rectangular nozzle. As turbulence models, Yang and Shih's Low-Re $k-{\varepsilon}$ model, Mener's $k-{\omega}$ SST model and Wilcox's $k-{\omega}$model were evaluated. In order to get a significant compressible effects, Sarkar and Wilcox compressibility correction models were applied to the turbulence models respectively. Also, the simulation results were compared with experimental data. The turbulence model with compressibility correction model improves both of shock position and pressure recovery, but deteriorates the length of Mach disk.

In the modern propulsion systems, requited thrust is obtained using a nozzle. Sometimes shock and induced boundary layer separation is generated in an over-expanded convergent-divergent supersonic nozzle. It occurs because the nozzle expansion ratio is too large for a given nozzle pressure ratio (NPR). This phenomenon can be explained that it redefines effective nozzle geometry, shorer nozzle geometry and lower pressure ratio, in a given pressure ratio. Numerical studies were conducted about a fixed geometry 2D nozzle in overexpanded condition and compared with Hunter's experimental result. For the numerical simulation of the supersonic nozzle, Navier-Stokes equations are considered and as a turbulent model, $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ /$\kappa$-$\omega$ blended SST two equation turbulent model is used. The characteristics of $\lambda$-shape shock systems due to the interaction of shock and boundary layer was investigated in a low NPR. And the result of comparison of thrust value shows that a fixed geometry nozzle can cover required flight mission.

Aircraft needs an inlet duct to supply the airflow to engine face. A fighter aircraft that requires low radar observability has to hide the engine face in the fuselage to reduce the Radar Cross Section(RCS). Therefore, the flow path of the inlet duct is changed into S-shape. The performance of the aircraft engine is known to be influenced by the shape and the centerline curvature of the S-Duct. In this study, CFD analysis of the RAE M 2129 S-Duct has been performed to investigate the influence of aspect ratio of inlet geometry. The performance of the S-Duct is evaluated in terms of the distortion coefficient. To simulate the flow under adverse pressure gradient better, $k-{\omega}SST$ turbulence model is employed. The computational results are validated with the ARA experimental data. The secondary flow and the flow separation are observed for all computational cases, while the semi-circular geometry has been found to produce the best results.

천음속 또는 초음속 유동이 유동장의 하류에서 부여되는 압력조건에 의하여 감속되는 경우나, 유동방향의 갑작스런 변화를 요구하는 물체 혹은 벽면이 존재하는 경우에 발생한 충격파는 벽면을 따라 발생하는 층류 혹은 난류 경계층과 복잡한 상호간섭 (interaction)을 일으켜 충격파에 의한 박리 발생, 충격파 하류에 새로운 충격파 발생, 충격파가 큰 진폭으로 진동하게 되는 현상 등을 발생시킨다. 이러한 간섭현상은 고속유동이 통과하는 유체요소나 유체기기의 성능을 좌우하는 매우 중요한 유동현상으로, 유체기계의 설계 시 사전에 고려되어야 할 중요한 공학적 문제이다.(중략)
