The single jet of decane/methylcyclohexane mixed fuel that is surrogate for kerosene was injected into supercritical environment and visualized using shadowgraph technique. The injection pressure drop of the fuel jet of T_r = 0.484 was kept constant at 0.5 MPa and the experiment was conducted above the critical point of the mixed fuel, and the reduced temperatures of the chamber was changed from 1.00 to 1.23, and the reduced pressures was 1.00 and 1.38. As an index for reducing the density of jets sprayed into the supercritical environment, the brightness intensity of the post-processed jet image was observed with the internal temperature and pressure of the chamber. It was confirmed that the decrease in the brightness intensity of the jet when the temperature inside the chamber increased, and when the pressure inside the chamber was higher at the same temperature, the decrease in the brightness intensity of the jet was delayed. When the pressure inside the chamber is high, it is thought that the change in brightness intensity is delayed due to the increase in the pseudo-critical temperature of the fuel and the increase in the temperature required to reduce the density of the fuel jet.

Thrust vector control system is a control device which is mounted on the exit of the nozzle to generate pitch, yaw and roll directional force by deflecting flow direction of the supersonic jet from the nozzle. Thermal and aerodynamic loads are acting on the surface of jet vane when it is exposed to the jet flow. Axial thrust loss and side thrust loss are affected by shock patterns and interactions between jet-vanes which varies with jet-vane geometry and turning angle. In this research, the performance estimation using the numerical simulation analysis of the nozzle is given and the investigation of the flow visualization and aerodynamic performance with the enforced power to the vane is taken.

An experiment was conducted to determine the local heat transfer from a supersonic hot jet impinging at 45.deg. to a plate surface. A semi-analytic method was used to determine the Nusselt number from experimental data. The results indicates that the location of the peak heat transfer is displaced from the geometric center of the axisymmetric jet and that the radial variation of the local heat transfer is steeper than that in the subsonic impinging jet. In the stagnation region, the heat transfer from the supersonic impinging jet is about 10 times larger than that from the subsonic one, while the heat transer away from the stagnation region is of the same magnitude as that of the in compressible turbulent radial wall jet.

New concept ramjet propulsion system with liquid bipropellant rocket using "Green Propellant" hydrogen peroxide for launch stage is proposed. In this novel concept, hydrogen peroxide gas generator produces hot oxygen at launch stage and kerosene injects to this jet in combustor. For basic study of this new concept ramjet system, investigation of auto-ignition characteristics and combustion of decomposed hydrogen peroxide and kerosene was conducted. In various test cases, auto-ignition and stable combustion was verified. The combustion temperature of 400°C and Fuel/Oxidizer mixture ratio of 0.6 were the limit of auto ignition. Through the experiment results, the possibility of novel concept combined propulsion system using hydrogen peroxide gas generator is ascertained.

Mass averaged and core enthalpy in the arc jet flow are obtained experimentally. The experiment is made for the 150kW Huels type arc-jet applying the test condition for the research of gasturbine engine injection cooling technique. The mass averaged enthalpy value determined by the sonic throat method is 5.5MJ/kg. The core enthalpy value determined by the heat transfer rate method is 14.3MJ/kg. Based on result of experiment, the ratio of the core to mass averaged enthalpies is 2.6.

A three-dimensional two-phase large eddy simulation(LES) has been conducted to investigate the breakup and atomization of liquid jets such as a diesel jet in parallel flow and water jet in cross flow. Gas-liquid two-phase flow was solved by a combined model of Eulerian for gas flow and Lagrangian for a liquid jet. Two stochastic breakup models were implemented to simulate the liquid column and droplet breakup process. The penetration depth and SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) were analyzed, which was comparable with the experimental data.

This study was conducted to reduce the computation time required for the computational acoustic analysis of the supersonic rocket jet plume. In order to reduce the computation time, computational acoustic analysis was performed assuming that the supersonic jet plume is a two-dimensional axis-symmetric problem. The results of computational acoustic analysis showed similar results to the acoustic load measurement results. Through this study, it was confirmed that the acoustic load prediction of the supersonic rocket jet plume can be predicted using a two-dimensional axis-symmetric computational analysis.

The flow control effect of blending Gurney flap with jet flap for flow around an NACA 0012 airfoil was numerically investigated through parameter variation of each flow control mechanism on unstructured meshes. The aerodynamic force and moment variations due to flow control were examined, and the results were compared between the blending control and each individual flow control. The results showed that the blending control required less energy input to achieve the same level of lift increment than that of the jet flap, and at the same time alleviated drag increment caused by introducing the Gurney flap.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of a ramjet and scramjet engine according to flight Mach numbers. The main objective of this study is to give physical understanding on the performance parameters and to provide a more unified treatment of the fundamentals of ramjet and scramjet propulsion, mainly based on analytical methods. The effects of flight Mach number, inlet characteristics, and combustion on the performance of ramjet and scramjet are analysed. The cycle analysis are conducted on both combustors with constant pressure and with constant cross-section area, on which comparisons are made. Also the optimal Mach number at the entry of the combustor is studied.

Many processing companies are facing environmental regulations such as decreasing NOx emissions when they by to increase thermal efficiencies of combustor. We study a potential new method that may achieve both increase of thermal efficiency and decrease of NOx emissions. This new concept of burner, the precessing jet burner, is known to significantly reduce pollutants such as NOx emissions and simultaneously increase radial heat transfer. This precessing jet nozzle may increase the combustion efficiency of gas turbine engine. A basic research on characteristics of precessing jet nozzle has been conducted using FLUENT and laser visualization technique. Velocities at He nozzle cross-section are compared with the published experimental results. Precessing jet nozzle with centerbody results in better precessing phenomena.
