To control spacecraft including satellite, we should understand precisely the performance of propulsion system and the program logic with appropriate format for satellite operations. In this study, the thruster performance functions was generated by using the best curve fitting for performance data from bi-propellant thrusters. Detailed thruster performance data are, in general, company proprietary information, therefore real firing tests were performed to understand the basic characteristics of the performance curve. Experimental rocket motor utilize liquid oxygen and kerosine as propellant and designed average thrust was 100 pound.

Geostationary satellite propulsion system provides satellite with the velocity increment for attitude control operations and sationkeeping operations from satellite launch to de-orbit at the end of life. Today, various types of propulsion system and its thrusters are produced by worldwide manufactures. Therefore, geostationary satellite manufacturers give significant modification to the Mission Analysis Software whenever different type of propulsion system type is adopted. Mission Analysis Software is a tool for planning and verification of satellite mission. For the development of the Generalized Mission Analysis Software, many thrusters are carefully investigated and modeled.

리니어 모터 중에서 위치 정밀도가 우수하고 개루프 제어가 가능한 리니어 펄스모터(LPM : Linear Pulse Motor)에 대해 추력 성능 및 위치제어 정밀도 향상을 위해서 자기등가회로 모델링법에 의해 추력을 주로 계산하고 있다. 퍼미언스(Permeance) 모델법, 수치해석법(FEM), 속도 기전력법 등을 이용하여 자속밀도(B)를 구하는데 있어 해석적인 추력편차가 존재한다. 정확한 추력을 구하기 위해서는 이들 각각의 방법을 이용한 로렌츠 포스법(Lorentz Force Method), 자기수반 에너지법, Maxwell 응력법 등으로 추력을 계산하여 비교함으로써 모터용량, 파라미터 등의 각종 성능 비교시 중요 요소가 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 위의 방법으로 LPM의 추력을 수식화하여 값을 얻고, 실제 추력값을 측정하여 얻어진 값과 비교 분석하고자한다. 이러므로 보다 정확한 LPM 추력 계산 방법을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the design method of a 155 mm Solid Fuel Ramjet projectile is proposed and a flight performance analysis program through mathematical modelling is developed. Through flight performance analysis, ramjet performance during flight, which is comprised of thrust, specific impulse, pressure recovery ratio, location of shock waves, and magnitude of drag, was predicted. The results show that compared to Rocket Assisted Projectile(RAP), the range was increased by 90 %. Furthermore, how variations in nozzle exit area ratio and the intake area cause variations in range was observed. This research on modeling and simulation methodology will provide useful data for future development of solid fuel ramjet projectiles.

High test hydrogen peroxide has been widely developed as green propellant for thrusters. Hydrogen peroxide is decomposed in the catalyst bed to produce the thrust. Catalyst bed design optimization is considered through existing model for catalyst beds. To verify the model, static firing tests were conducted under various conditions using a 100 N scale $H_2O_2$ monopropellant thruster. Temperature and pressure estimations from the model were well correlated to the experimental data. The model is used to obtain optimal design parameters by analyzing the catalyst capacity and pressure drop data for various simulated conditions. Catalyst beds can be optimized from the analysis of the catalyst capacity and pressure drop correlation through catalyst bed modeling.

The depressurization rate in a thrust variable solid rocket motor is the major factor that has the greatest influence on the thrust termination performance. In this study, the depressurization rates range of model solid rocket motor was identified and major factors affecting the depressurization rate were found. It is important for actual system design to understand the depressurization rate of the system that can satisfy the target performance as well as the extinguishing characteristics of the solid propellant. The methodology for obtaining the depressurization rate model in this study is considered to be applicable to the optimal design of the thrust terminable propulsion system.

As wind turbines are getting larger in size with multi-MW capacity, the blades are getting longer, over 40 m, and hence the asymmetric loads produced during the rotation of the rotor blades are increasing. Some factors such as wind shear, tower shadow, and turbulence have an effect on the asymmetric loads on the blades. This paper focuses on a method of modeling the dynamic load acting on a blade because of thrust variation under wind shear. A method that uses thrust coefficient is presented. For this purpose, "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation" is defined and introduced. Further, we calculate the values of the "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation" for a 2 MW on-shore wind turbine, and analyze them for speeds below the rated wind speed. Then, we implement a dynamic model that represents the thrust variation under wind shear on a blade, using MATLAB/Simulink. It is shown that it is possible to express thrust variations on three blades under wind shear by using both thrust coefficient and "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation."

In this study, the surface heat transfer coefficient of the 3D model of a thruster regulator in the high temperature and high pressure environment was estimated using the CFD. The thermal barrier coating (TBC) on the surface of the thruster regulator was modeled and the effect of the thickness of the TBC on the temperature of the thruster regulator was investigated. The thickness of the TBC was varied from $100{\mu}m$ to $500{\mu}m$. Results showed that the temperature of the surface and the inside the thruster regulator was lower for the thicker TBS case.

In this study, a thrust modulation through oxidizer mass flow rate control and internal ballistic analysis based on Whitmore and Chandlers' models was conducted on a blow-down hybrid rocket using nitrous oxide. The tank pressure prediction considering mass flow rate control of the self-pressuring oxidizer was conducted, and the results showed good agreements with experimental results. In order to verify the internal ballistic analysis, a ground combustion test using a 500 N class hybrid rocket was conducted, and it was confirmed that the experimental results and the analytical results were quite consistent in the chamber pressure and thrust, thereby, a modeling technique capable of predicting the thrust modulation performance is proposed.

제트 베인에 의한 추력 방향 제어 장치는 롤 운동 제어를 가능하게 하고, 큰 선회 각도를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 기계 장치가 비교적 복잡하고, 제트 베인의 열적, 구조적 문제를 해결하여야 한다. 복잡한 기계 장치는 유동 해석의 측면에서 고려해 볼 때 격자 형성을 어렵게 만들어 유동장 해석을 통한 성능예측을 어렵게 만든다. 구조물의 응력해석을 위하여 제트 베인 표면에서의 정압력과 더불어 마찰력도 고려하여야 하는데, 정확한 마찰력 계산을 위해서는 난류 모델링이 필수적이고, 그에 따라 벽면 근처에서 격자를 밀접시키는 것이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유동해석 소프트웨어인 Fluent를 사용하여 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 3차원 난류 유동장 계산을 수행하였다. 피치, 요 운동의 경우와 롤 운동의 경우로 구분하여 계산하였으며, 최대 받음각을 $25^{\cire}$ 로 하여 제트 베인의 받음각에 따라 회전축에 작용하는 힘과 모멘트를 계산하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 개발될 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 개념설계 단계에 필요한 기본자료로서 신뢰도를 높이는데 도움이 되리라 판단된다.
