A computational study on the supersonic flow around the lateral jet controlled missile has been performed. For this purpose a three dimensional Navier-Stokes computer code(AADL3D) has been developed and case studies have been performed by comparing the normal force coefficient and the moment coefficient of a missile body for different jet flow conditions including jet pressure and jet Mach number. The results show different behavior of normal force and moment variation according to jet pressure variation and jet Mach number variation. From the detailed flow field analyses, it is verified that most of the normal force loss and the pitching moment generation are taken place at the low-pressure region behind the jet nozzle. Furthermore, it is shown that the pitching moment can be efficiently reduced by obtaining the lateral thrust through higher jet Mach number rather than through high jet pressure.

The fuel transfer characteristics of the jet pump between fuel tanks, which is applied in the smart UAV fuel supply system, were experimentally investigated. The operating conditions of the jet pump were setup to meet the engine requirement according to mission profile, and the jet pump performance was evaluated at those conditions. The pressure ratio and the efficiency of the jet pump were measured with the variation of flow ratio. In addition, the area ratio was taken into the consideration to examine the effect on the jet pump performance. From the evaluation results, the jet pump met the fundamental requirement to transfer fuel with the flow ratio of 2.23. In the case of the jet pump that is focused on the fuel transfer quantity rather than its efficiency, the flow ratio would be adjusted through the variation of area ratio of the jet pump within the permitted limit of pressure ratio.

The effect of wave and current interactions on jet-like current flowing against waves was investigated based on numerical simulations. The numerical simulations were conducted using a model system of REF/DIF(a wave model) and SHORECIRC(a current model). In the simulations, irregular waves refracted due to the jet-like opposing current were focused along the centerline of current, and the jet-like current was spreaded earlier when the wave heights become larger. The numerical results show that the rapid change of wave height distribution in transverse direction near current inlet plays a significant role to spread the jet-like current. In other words, the radiation stress gradients acting in transverse direction have a more significant effect on the jet-like current than its gradients acting in flowing direction which tend to accelerate the current do. In conclusion, it is indispensible to take into account the interaction between waves and current when the jet-like current such as river mouth meets opposing waves.

Breakup and spray formation of pressure-swirl liquid jets injected into a low-speed convective-flow are experimentally investigated. Effects of the cross-flows on the macroscopic and microscopic spray parameters are optically measured in terms of jet Weber number and liquid-to-gas momentum ratio. The liquid stream undergoes Rayleigh jet breakup at lower jet Weber numbers and a liquid sheet isn't formed because of the weak radial velocity in the swirl jet. At higher jet Weber numbers, the macroscopic spray parameter is a very weak function of the momentum ratio but the effect of the convection on the microscopic spray parameter is significant through the secondary breakup with increasing in the liquid-to-gas momentum ratio. The convective-flow promotes bag/plume breakup and the spray formation, and its effect is more distinct at higher momentum ratio.

A numerical analysis is made of the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the corrugated structure that traps the spent air in the corrugations between impinging jets to reduce crossflow effects on downstream jets in the array. All computations are performed by considering three-dimensional, steady state, and incompressible flow by using the ANSYS-CFX 15.0 code. Averaged jet Reynolds number is 10,000. The oblique angles of impingement jets on the spanwise section are $70^{\circ}$, $80^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and the oblique angles of impingement jets on the streamwise section are $70^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $110^{\circ}$. The investigation focuses on the oblique angle influence of impinging jet array on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of a corrugated structure.

The interaction between hypersonic free stream and side jet flow at high altitudes is investigated by using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. In order to alleviate the difficulty associated with the large density difference between the free stream and the side jet flow and to simulate the two flows simultaneously, a weighting factor technique is applied. For validation, the corner flow over a pair of plates perpendicularly attached is calculated with and without a side jet, and the results are compared with experiment. For a more realistic configuration, the flow past a blunted cone cylinder shape is solved. The leeward or windward jet is injected into the free stream and the effect on the aerodynamic force and moment is observed at various flow angles. The lambda shock effect and the wake structure are studied in terms of the surface pressure differential. A higher interaction between the free stream and the side jet flow is observed when the side jet is injected in the windward direction.

In this study, the injector transfer function (ITF) of a gas-gas coaxial jet-swirl injector is measured by perturbing jet or swirl flow using a speaker as jet flow increases. As a result of measuring the ITF varying feed system length, a peak occurs at a resonance frequency of space where the perturbed flow passes. With jet excitation, the ITF magnitude decreases, but increases thereafter as increasing the jet flow. Therefore the larger the velocity difference between jet and swirl flow, the larger the ITF. With swirl excitation, ITF decreases as increasing the jet flow because of the energy decrease with respect to the constant downstream flow.

Sparkjet actuator, also known as plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA), is an active flow control device that has possibility of controling supersonic flow. This actuator utilizes arc plasma to deposit energy onto the gas inside the cavity to raise temperature and pressure. A change in the state of the fluid inside the cavity generates pressure waves and momentum jet, and they are exhausted through out the orifice exit and disturb external flow field. Since the cavity flow is affected by arc plasma, which is an equilibrium plasma and have generated equilibrium flow, the equilibrium state of air should be considered in order to analyze the flow of sparkjet actuator. In this study, numerical program for equilibrium flow was developed for the use of sparkjet actuator analysis. The developed program was validated by comparing the time - accurate jet front positions with the reference result. Then, impulse characteristics of the actuator in the atmospheric quiescent air were explained.

지역 항공기의 세계가 소연한 양상을 보이고 있다. 그것은 주요한 항공기 제작사들이 일제히 새로운 제트 기종의 개발에 나서고 있기 때문이다. 사실 초음속여객기인 콩코드기가 미국과 유럽간의 부정기노선에 취항한지도 어언 30년 가까운 시기에 이르고 세계의 전 국제선과 장거리 국내선이 모두 제트화된 오늘까지도 각국의 지역항공만은 일부가 제트화 되었을뿐 터보 프롭이 대부분을 이루고 있었다.
