마하 수 6 이상인 극초음속 비행에는 스크램제트(SCRamjet : Supersonic Combustion Ramjet) 엔진이 가장 적합한 엔진으로 알려져 있고 현재 미국을 중심으로 이 엔진의 개발에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 스크램제트 엔진의 성공적인 개발을 위해서는 초음속 공기 내에서 연료의 분사를 통한 가장 효율적인 연소를 유도할 수 있어야 한다. 초음속 상태의 공기와 연료의 혼합을 증대시키고 연소안정성을 향상시키는 방법으로 연소기 내에 인위적으로 경사충격파를 발생시키는 방안이 Marble 등에 의해 최초로 도입되었다. 본 연구에서는 스크램제트엔진 내의 연소기를 모델링하여 마하수 2.5의 초음속공기 유동 중앙에 수소 제트를 분사하여 초음속 수소-공기 화염을 만들고 연소기의 측면에 동일한 모양과 크기의 쐐기를 각각 부착시켜 평면 경사충격파를 발생시켰다 본 실험은 충격파가 초음속 화염에 미치는 영향을 연구한 최초의 실험연구이다.

An experimental study on double-concentric diffusion flame has been carried out in order to investigate the shape, the flame length, and the other characteristics of the flame. Flow visualization of the flame by the $TiO_2$ particles and also the emission measurements are conducted. The commercial grade LP gases are used as fuel. The inverse diffusion flames are formed at the center when the central air flow rate is about 0.1 L/min. With a larger flow rate of the central air jet than 0.2 L/min the flame turns to be an annular-shaped flame, which is very bright. When the central air flow rate increases over 2.4 L/min, the flame turns to blue and the flame tips are opened because of the lifting of the inner part of the flame. Because of this lifting and the incomplete combustion, the CO emission increases abruptly from 25 ppm to more than 150 ppm. On the contrary, the NOx emission is decreased.

Autoignition characteristic is an important parameter for designing diesel or PCCI engines. In particular, diesel spray flames are lifted from the nozzle and the initial flame is formed by an autoignition phenomenon. The lifted nature of diesel spray flames influences soot formation, since air will be entrained into the spray core by the entrainment of air between the nozzle region and the lifted flame base. The objective of the present study was to identify the effect of heat loss on the ignition delay time by adopting a coflow jet as a model problem. Methane ($CH_4$), ethylene ($C_2H_4$), ethane ($C_2H_6$), propene ($C_3H_6$), propane ($C_3H_8$), and normal butane (n-$C_4H_{10}$) fuels were injected into high temperature air, and the liftoff height was measured experimentally. As the result, a correlation was determined between the liftoff height of the autoignited lifted flame and the ignition delay time considering the heat loss to the atmosphere.
