Mixing and combustion experiments with a vent slot mixer were performed in Mach 2 supersonic wind tunnel. Helium and hydrogen gases each were used for the mixing and the combustion experiment with a plasma jet (PJ) torch. The vent slot mixer holds plenty of fuel in the downstream mixing region, even though the fuel is transversely injected. In case of the combustion, the injected fuel is ignited by the PJ torch, and then unburned mixture is burned by shock-induced combustion downstream. Thermal choking in the combustor leads to shock trains in the isolator, causing the unstable combustion.

Infrared (IR) stealth technology to protect aircraft from heat-tracking missiles is a very important factor in the development of military aircraft. In this study, the intensities of signal generation were compared by observing the IR signals generated from the plumes of the engine and identifying them for each measurement angle. To simulate a jet engine applied to an actual aircraft, a small turbojet engine was constructed, the infrared signal characteristics for each wavelength were identified according to the measurement angle, and the total infrared radiance was derived by integrating the signal for each wavelength. Through this study, we intend to present basic data for improving the infrared stealth performance of aircraft.

This paper deals with an optimal determination process for the built-in location of localizer under restrictive siting area conditions of a domestic P-airport. Aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the localizer structure can be used a reference to find the safe distance from jet blast and the position at which the reasonable structural loading is applied. Wind tunnel experiment is conducted to measure aerodynamic loadings. The finite element analysis for structural deformation is employed to get the information of structural failure. A new localizer's position is determined by considering aerodynamic loading, structural strength and thermal loading due to jet blast. Deflector effect was also investigated in this study. In conclusion, the location of localizer can be placed at shorter than the current position and greatly decreased if the deflector is applied at the front of localizer.

A feasibility study is performed for practical application of a Ventilating Water-Jet(VWJ) propulsor which attracts new attention as a candidate propulsor for super-high speed vessels. Super-cavitating foil sections are adopted for the rotor blades since the rotor is operating at ventilating condition. Wedge type and cavitator type foil sections are used for the design of rotor blades. Other geometric characteristics of rotors are selected from the Kaplan type ducted propeller rotors. The test section of KRISO cavitation tunnel is modified to perform open-water tests of the VWJ propulsors. The tests are performed both at fully-submerged and free-jet conditions. Ventilation occurred at the free-jet condition by sucking the air in the downstream side of the rotor, which easily develops as super-cavitation when the rotor operates at lower advance coefficients. Spoilers are attached at the trailing end of the pressure side of the blade section, in order to increase the lift force.

Experiments have been performed using two-color PIV in hydrogen non-premixed flames with various conditions of coaxial air, which was classified into three cases with/without reaction. Mean velocity, turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress were analyzed using flow fields from PIV measurement First, the similarity of pure jet had a good agreement with previous results of other researchers. It was found that the decay of centerline velocity was proportional to $x^{-1}$ in coaxial air conditions. By normalizing axial distance with effective jet diameter defined by effective density, the data of centerline velocity collapsed a single line. And the radial profiles of mean velocity showed that they didn't become self-similar because the curves differed from each other as coaxial air velocity increased at fixed fuel velocity. Also, turbulence intensity became self-similar further downstream than mean velocity.

This study describes the characteristics on impeller discharge flow of a centrifugal compressor with vaneless diffuser. Distorted flow at impeller exit was investigated by measuring of unsteady velocity fluctuation using hot-wire anemometer. As a result, a wake region appears near shroud side and moves to suction side and also to hub side as flow rate decreases. Jet, wake, and their boundary region which can be defined in jet-wake flow model are clearly observed at a high flow rate for the flow coefficient of 0.64, however, as flow rate decreases to the flow coefficient of 0.19, the classification of their regions disappears. Turbulence intensity also increases as flow rate decreases. Measurement error from uncertainty analysis is estimated about 4% at the flow coefficient of 0.19

The flow analysis method which had been developed for the numerical calculation of 3-dimensional, incompressible and turbulent flow within an axial compressor was extended to the flow field within centrifugal impeller. In this method based on the SIMPLE(Semi Implicit Method Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm, the coordinate transformation was adopted and the standard k-.epsilon. model using wall function was used for turbulent flow analysis. The calculated flow fields have agreed very well with measurement results. Especially, 3-dimensional and viscous flow characteristics including secondary flows, jet-wake flow and decreased pressure rise along impeller passage, which can't be predicted by inviscid Q3D calculation were predicted very reasonably.

Flow patterns were measured in an unshrouded centrifugal impeller. The flow rate in measurements was fixed at the value corresponding to a nearly zero incidence at the blade inlet. By using a single slanted hot-wire probe and a Kiel probe mounted on the impeller hub disk, the 3-D relative velocities and the rotary stagnation pressures were measured in seven circumferential planes from the inlet to the outlet of the impeller rotating at 700rpm, which diameter is 0.39 meter, and the static pressures and the slip factor at the impeller outlet were calculated from the measured values. From the measured data, the primary/secondary flows, the leakage flows, the wake-jet flows, static pressure distribution on blade surfaces and the wake production mechanism in the impeller passage were investigated.

An experimental study for characteristics of soot were conducted at the post-flame region in jet diffusion flames, where carbon dioxide was used as additives in oxidizer stream. Light-extinction method was performed using He-Ne laser with wave length at 632.8nm for the measurement of relative soot density and soot volume fraction with dimensionless extinction coefficient, $K_e$ and mass specific extinction coefficient, ${\sigma}_s$. To increase of resolution, laser light was modified for sheet-form using concave, convex lenses and slit. C/H ratio was introduced for quantitative analysis of soot growth which is expressed by carbonization and dehydrogen. Also transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used for observation of morphological shape. The results show that the relative soot density in the post-flame region was lower when carbon dioxide was added in oxidizer stream because of reduction of flame temperature.

This paper describes numerical research on transverse jet behind rearward-facing step in turbulent supersonic flowfields without chemical reaction. The purpose of transverse jet behind rearward-facing step is to improve mixing of the fuel in the combustor. Two-dimensional unsteady flowfields generated by slot injection into supersonic flow are numerically simulated by integration of Navier-Stokes equation. Final-scale turbulence effects are modeled with two-equation $\kappa-\epsilon$ model. Numerical methods are modeled high-order upwind TVDschemes. A total of 4 cases are computed, comprising slot momentum flux ratios at four step heights downstream of the step. These numerical results are represented periodic phenomenon in unsteady flowfields.
