Numerical simulations of flows in an axisymmetric supersonic inlet with bleed regions were performed. For the simulations, the existing code which solves the RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) equations and 2-equation turbulence model equations was transformed to axisymmetric form and bleed boundary condition was applied to the code. In this paper, the modified code was validated by comparing the results against an experimental data and other computational results for flow on a bump and over an oblique shock with bleed region. Using the code, numerical simulations were performed for the flow in the inlet with multiple bleed regions.

초음속 흡입구는 고속 비행에서 발생하는 충격파를 이용하여 제트엔진 내부에 유입되는 공기를 압축시키는 구조로써 주로 램제트와 스크램제트 엔진에 적용되어 연구개발이 진행되어 왔으며 현재는 미사일의 추진체 개발에도 응용되고 있다. 초음속 영역에서의 흡입구는 cone 모양의 스파이크 구조를 통해 경사충격파가 생성되어 외부에서의 공기압축을 먼저 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD를 이용하여 외부압축 초음속 흡입구 주위의 공기유동을 해석하고 Cubbison, R.W.의 풍동실험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 초음속 흡입구 주위의 유동을 2D 축대칭 압축성 유동으로 가정하고 EDISON CFD의 2D_Comp_P 솔버를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

Design program was developed to determine the external shape of the supersonic axisymmetric inlet by combining conical flow solver and approximation technique of conical shock with gradient-based optimization algorithm. Inlet designs were carried out under various operation conditions through optimization with respectively two object functions which consist of pressure recovery and cowl drag and with constraints about shock position, cowl shape, and minimum throat area. New object function consisting of pressure recovery and drag of the external cowl was proposed and the optimized shapes from new object function were compared to the ones from the old object function which maximize only the pressure recovery. Through computations of inviscid and turbulent flow, was tested performance of the design program and performance estimated in design program agreed well with computation results for inlets designed under various flight conditions.

A study on the performance design schemes of the supersonic air intakes applied to the supersonic air-breathing propulsion system(Ramjet/Scramjet) was conducted and for two kinds of air intakes, the preliminary configuration designs and the performance analysis models were established. For axisymmetric conical air intake and two dimensional rectangular air intake, the performance effects were assessed according to compression angles and shock wave numbers.

Supersonic inlet buzz can be defined as unstable subcritical operation associated with fluctuating internal pressures and a shock pattern oscillating about the inlet entrance. The flow pulsations could result in flameout in the combustor or even structural damage to the engine. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the phenomenon of supersonic inlet buzz on axisymmetric, external-compression inlet. An inlet model with a cowl lip diameter of 30mm was tested at a free stream Mach number of 2.0. Subcritical instability was investigated by considering the frequency of pressure pulsation and shock wave structure at the inlet entrance. The results obtained show that total pressure recovery ratios were varied from 0.42 to 0.78, and capture area ratio from 0.34 to 0.98. The frequency of the subcritical flow increased with decrease in capture area ratios. Frequency was measured at $224{\sim}240Hz$.

2개의 경사 충격파와 하나의 수직 충격파로 초음속 유동을 압축하는 초음속 공기 흡입구의 수치적 연구를 수행하였다. 지배방정식으로는 Navier-Stokes방정식을 사용하였고 난류모델로는 SST 모델을 사용하였다. 지배방정식의 점성항 계산에는 중심차분법을 사용하였고 대류항 계산에는 풍상차분법인 Roe의 FDS기법을 MUSCL기법과 결합하여 이용하였다. 유한 체적법을 이용하여 차분된 방정식은 LU분할 기법을 이용한 완전 내재적 방법으로 2차 정확도 시간 적분으로 비정상 과정의 연구를 수행하였다. 흡입구 배압을 정해주어야 하는 어려움을 해결하기 위해 흡입구 후면에 노즐을 달고 노즐의 면적을 조절하여 배압이 형성되도록 하였다.(중략)

A Numerical analysis of preventing pressure oscillation for the supersonic inlet of IRR at the boosting mode was conducted in this study. To reduce the fluctuation of pressure, the supersonic inlet was equipped with annular slit. By decreasing the entrained air mass, the amplitude of fluctuation and maximum pressure at the inlet were decreased while the frequency was increased. In case, the optimal trade-off value is obtained between frequency and amplitude, it is expected that the pressure oscillation declining method using the slit will be helpful in various boosting and transition mode problem for IRR.

Theoretically, stable operations of an inlet are achieved at the design condition. However, at off-design conditions supersonic inlets often encounter the problem of aerodynamic instability, called inlet buzz. During inlet buzz, supersonic inlets exhibit considerable oscillation of the shock system in front of the inlet and corresponding large pressure fluctuations downstream. This phenomenon results in decrease of engine performance. An experimental and numerical study was conducted to investigate the phenomenon of supersonic inlet buzz on a generic, axisymmetric, external-compression inlet with a single-surface center-body. This study suggest that intermittent buzz exist and the frequency become to be large as increasing the back pressure.

An experimental study was conducted at a Mach number of 2.0 to investigate the buzz suppression method on an axisymmetric, external compression supersonic inlet. The inlet model has a fixed geometry with no internal contraction. The inlet configuration was altered by changing the cowling. Results show that source of buzz has been related to the existence in the flow field of velocity discontinuity across a vortex sheet which originates from a shock intersection point. With external compression inlet, buzz can be suppressed by positioning the oblique shock slightly inside or outside of the cowl.

In present study, a supersonic inlet for dual mode ramjets or RBCC/TBCC engines with a wide range of flight Mach numbers is designed. A conical variable inlet configuration is chosen for the inlet design. Geometric relations with angles of compression cones and conical shock waves are used for the design of the inlet configuration. The performance of the supersonic inlet is confirmed by the numerical analysis. The capture area ratio is maintained around 100% from Mach 3 to 8 conditions.
