It is definitely important to measure thrust during ground test when developing air-breathing engine, and in case of air-breathing engine, gross thrust should be calculated considering not only the measured thrust but also the force induced by the air flow of engine intake. Also, side thrust like yaw and pitch should be measured and analyzed using multi-component thrust measurement system. Engine performance was accurately evaluated by calculating the gross thrust of air breathing engine precisely which is analyzed from below serial procedure: labyrinth seal isolation, 1-axis gross thrust calculation, develop multi-component thrust measurement system, and side thrust analysis.

대기가 희박한 고고도 환령이나 급격한 선회를 위해 2차분사에 의한 추력벡터제어를 사용한다. 8개의 2차분사구를 갖는 고체로켓모터를 대상으로, 2차분사의 유량을 조절하는 밸브의 개도가 추력, 측추력 및 롤 모멘트에 미치는 영향을 해석적으로 연구하였다. 정상 상태의 3차원 Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes 식의 해를 구하였으며, 난류를 위해 Spalart-Almaras 모델을 사용하였다. 수치해석의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 실험 결과와 해석결과를 비교하였다. 밸브의 개도가 증가함에 따라 추력은 감소하나 측추력은 증가한다. 반면, 롤 모멘트의 경우, 밸브와 2차분사 파이프의 상호작용에 의해 개도에 비례하지 않는다.

Side jet thruster using nozzle closure separation device provides a solid rocket with a trajectory shift function. Side jet thruster consists of low combustion temperature propellant, neutral type propellant grain and nozzle closure separation device. If a trajectory shift is required, side jet thrust is generated on the rocket by separating some nozzle closures located in the opposite direction to thrust. After completing trajectory shift, the other nozzle closures located in the thrust direction are separated to cease side jet thrust. The operation process is verified through ground static test. The result in this study can be applied to changing rocket trajectory by controlling side jet thrust through nozzle closure separation.

To analyze flow characteristics of the side jet thruster with 4 shutters and rectangular nozzles, a 3-D simulation has been implemented. Numerical calculations for two rotation angles of the shutter, have been conducted. Internal recirculation in a chamber and asymmetric flow structure in a nozzle were observed. In addition, the more shutter rotated, the more asymmetries of flow increased, and this phenomena resulted in thrust bias. The degrees of thrust bias and thrust performance with the rotation angles of the shutter were predicted and compared with theoretical thrust.

초음속 유동하에서 측추력기 주위의 유동 현상을 실험 및 수치해석을 이용하여 해석하였다. 실험은 버지니아공대의 초음속 풍동과 건국대의 초음속 풍동을 사용하였으며 계산 코드는 Aerosoft 사의 GASP(ver.4.0)과 건국대의 AADL3D를 사용하였다. 실험결과는 Schlieren, Shadow graph 등의 가시화 장치와 압력 센서와 PSP(Pressure Sensitive Paint)를 이용하여 유동장 특성과 압력분포를 구하여 실제 작용되는 힘과 모멘트를 구하였다. 실험조건은 자유류의 흐름이 마하수 4 이고 측추력기와 자유류의 압력비가 532 이었다. 성능향상 방안으로 측추력기 후방에 램프를 설치하는 것을 제안하였으며 이에 대한 실험을 수행하여 수직력에 대한 변화는 없지만 피칭다운 모멘트가 약 $70\%$ 감소함을 보여주어 실제로 성능이 향상되었음을 입증하였다. 또한 측추력기의 성능에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자들에 대한 가시화실험을 수행하여 그 이해를 돕고자 하였으며, 현재 건국대에서 보유하고 있는 고속유동 관련 실험장치의 소개와 이를 이용한 연구들을 소개하므로써 압축성 유동장 연구에 이러한 실험장치의 필요성에 대한 이해를 구하고자 한다.

The aerodynamic characteristics of the L-type side jet thruster are examined by using computational fluid dynamics methods. The critical design points of L-type side jet thruster with bent nozzle by 90degrees are studied in terms of the relation between side jet nozzle geometry and thrust efficiency.

An experimental and computational study has been performed for investigation of the jet interaction in supersonic flow with a ramp located behind a sonic, lateral jet. The experimental techniques include schlieren, pressure taps, and Pressure Sensitive Paint. The numerical solver used in this study is AeroSoft's structured flow solver GASP Version 4.0. A Mach 4 crossflow with a pressure ratio of 532, and the 3D ramp was designed by parametric study using GASP. The results showed that the ramp located downstream of the jet decrese the nose-down pitching moment by 70% without a force loss.

In this study, 1-way fluid structure interaction analysis(FSI) for the shutter, component of side jet thruster was performed to evaluate the safety. Driving torque to open nozzle, thermal and high pressure load of hot gas was applied to shutter. Thus, the shutter must be designed to endure this load during combustion. We carried out computational fluid dynamics analysis to obtain the pressure, temperature, and heat transfer coefficient of hot gas of side jet thruster. We then used the data as the load condition for a thermal structural analysis using a mapping method. The locations with the maximum stress and temperature distributions were found. We compared the maximum stress with the tensile stress of shutter material according to temperature to evaluate the safety. We also analyzed the radial deformation of the shutter to set the proper interface gap with the side jet thruster parts.
