In this study, characteristics of jet type flame holder for ramjet engine combustors are investigated Jet flame holder can be easily controlled by the injection angle change and jet momentum variation without any thermal protection devices. Due to the intensive turbulent mixing effect, jet flame holder shows better flame holding performance than mechanical flame holders such as cavity, step and v-shape flame holder.

주유동에 수직으로 분사된 제트 화염의 구조는 이해하기 위하여 화염 길이와 온도를 측정하고 reactive mie scattering 방법을 이용하여 단면 가시화를 실시하였다. 주유동 속도와 제트 분사 속도의 증가에 따라 화염 길이도 함께 증가함을 알 수 있고, 단면 가시화 결과 화염 내부에 존재하는 inner vortical structure는 일반적인 동축제트 화염과 같은 대칭 구조를 갖지 앉고 유동 조건에 따라 inner vortical motion 의 생성 위치가 변화함을 알 수 있다 이는 본 유동장의 특성 중의 하나인 bound vortex와 제트와 주유동이 접하는 상류 면에서 발생하는 rolling-up 의 강도에 좌우됨을 알 수 있다.

The effect of fuel composition on flame length was studied in a non-premixed turbulent diluted hydrogen jet with coaxial air. The observed flame length was expressed as a function of the ratio of coaxial air to fuel jet velocity and compared with a theoretical prediction based on the velocity ratio. Four cases of fuel mixed by volume were determined. In the present study, we derived a scaling correlation for predicting the flame length in a simple jet with coaxial air using the effective jet diameter in the near-field concept. The experimental results showed that visible flame length had a good relation with the theoretical prediction. The scaling analysis is also valid for diluted hydrogen jet flames with varied fuel composition.

This experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of the flame holder on the multi-slot film cooling in the ramjet combustor. The turbulent wake which is generated by the flame holder on the entrance of the coolant flow path affects on the slot. Adiabatic film cooling effectiveness on the downstream wall of the slot exit are measured. The results show that the film cooling performance is rapidly decreased after the slot exit by shear layer and high turbulence intensity between separated flows and coolant flows.

축대칭 곡면벽 제트 버너를 제작하여 화염의 안정화 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 축대칭 곡면벽 제트 유동은 난류 강도의 증가와 더불어 버너 선단 부근에 재순환 영역을 형성하여 화염의 안정화를 촉진시킴으로서 기존의 튜브 버너에 비하여 화염의 안정화 특성이 향상되었다. 시간적으로 화염의 위치가 변동하는 난류 화염에서 화염의 안정화 특성과 밀접한 관계가 있는 OH 라디칼과 온도를 PLIF와 CARS를 각각 적용하여 측정하였다. 고유속으로 연소시키는 경우에 버너 선단에 형성된 재순환 영역에 OH 라디칼이 상당량 분포하고 있었으며 통계적으로 고온을 유지하였다. 이는 버너 선단에 형성되는 재순환 영역에 고온의 기연 가스가 점화원 역할을 하여 화학 반응이 활발하게 일어나고 있음을 의미한다. 이러한 결과로부터 고속의 출구유속에서 화염 안정화 특성은 재순환 영역에 의하여 영향을 받고 있음을 확인하였다.

Exhaust plume effects on longitudinal aerodynamics of missile were investigated by wind tunnel tests using a solid plume simulator and CFD analyses with both the solid plume and air jet plumes. Approximate plume boundary prediction technique was used to produce the outer shape of the solid plumer and chamber conditions and nozzle shapes of the air jet plumes were determined through plume modeling technique to compensate the difference in thermodynamic properties between air and real plume. From comparisons among turbulence models in case of external flow interaction with the air jet plume, Spalart-Allmaras model turned out to give accurate result and to be less grid-dependent. Effects induced by the plume were evaluated through the computations with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model and the air jet plume to account for various ratios of chamber and ambient pressure and Reynolds number under the flight test condition.

This experimental study has been conducted to investigate the installation of the vertical flame holder shape in ramjet combustor, which affects on the film cooling effectiveness. All slot position, the film cooling effectiveness decreases because of the shear layer and high turbulence intensity between separated flows and coolant flows. When the flame holder is installed, film cooling effectiveness decreases abruptly on the beginning of the slot exit region due to the mixing effect. As the blowing rate increases, the film cooling effectiveness is increased for all cases due to the augmented momentum of injected coolant from the slot.

The characteristics of autoignited lifted flames in laminar jets of carbon monoxide/hydrogen fuels have been investigated experimentally in heated coflow air. In result, as the jet velocity increased, the blowoff was directly occurred from the nozzle-attached flame without experiencing a stabilized lifted flame, in the non-autoignited regime. In the autoignited regime, the autoignited lifted flame of carbon monoxide diluted by nitrogen was affected by the water vapor content in the compressed air oxidizer, as evidenced by the variation of the ignition delay time estimated by numerical calculation. In particular, in the autoignition regime at low temperatures with added hydrogen, the liftoff height of the autoignited lifted flames decreased and then increased as the jet velocity increased. Based on the mechanism in which the autoignited laminar lifted flame is stabilized by ignition delay time, the liftoff height can be influenced not only by the heat loss, but also by the preferential diffusion between momentum and mass diffusion in fuel jets during the autoignition process.

High-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the flame stability of the turbulent supersonic combustion in a Dual-Combustion Ramjet (DCR). The auto-ignition in a shear layer between hydrogen/carbon-monoxide syngas and air was studied at elevated enthalpy condition. Comparison of a constant area combustor and a combustor with a small divergence angle shows that the supersonic combustion has a characteristics of the lifted flame and its stability is influenced significantly by the compressibility.

The prediction performance of 9 model sets, which combine 3 turbulent models and 3 combustion models, was investigated numerically for turbulent partially-premixed jet flame. The standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ (SKE), Realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ (RKE) and Reynolds stress model (RSM) were used as a turbulence model, and the eddy dissipation concept (EDC), steady laminar flamelet (SLF) and unsteady laminar flamelet model (ULF) were also adopted as a combustion model. The prediction performance of those 9 model sets was evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively for Sandia D flame of which flame structure was measured precisely. The flame length was predicted as, from longest to shortest, RSM > SKE > RKE, and the RKE predicted the flame length of the jet flame much shorter than experiment. The flame temperature was over predicted by the combination of RSM + SLF or RSM + ULF while the flame length obtained by RSM + SLF and RSM + ULF was well agreed with the experiment. The combination of SKE + SLF and SKE + ULF predicts well the flame length as well as the temperature distribution. The SKE turbulence model was most superior to the other turbulent models, and SKE + ULF showed the best prediction performance for the structure of turbulent partially-premixed jet flame.
