The performance of a spark jet driven by pulsed-arc plasma was investigated experimentally for various energy input. A high-speed jet (about 330 m/s) was obtained by rapid gas heating produced by 37 mJ of deposited energy per pulse. The peak velocity and penetration distance of the jet were proportional to the deposited power and the deposited energy per pulse, respectively. A smaller orifice diameter produces a higher velocity jet at lower energy levels. For the same deposited energy, higher-current pulses produce a higher jet velocity than higher-pulse-width pulses. A total deposited energy of about 10 mJ per pulse with a pulse duration of about $10{\mu}s$ was found to be the optimum for energy- efficient operation.

An Experimental investigation into the effects of the blowing jet type and jet orientation on the aerodynamic characteristics over an elliptic type airfoil is explored. This study is aimed at expanding the data base of blowing jet application in separation control of elliptic airfoil. Present data includes: surface pressure, blowing jet exit velocity measurements and integrated aerodynamic loads. The experiments were performed for an elliptic airfoil at Reynolds number $8.22{\times}10^5$. The improvement of effects of pulsed jet on the increase of aerodynamic characteristics was significant for the post-stall angle. For reduced mass flow rates, pulsed jet allowed considerably higher lift to be generated. The jet orientation also showed dominant parameter on the separation control Positive jet angle delay or avoid separation, whereas negative jet angle promotes it.

The electromagnetic force induced by an intense electric current pulse, which generates an electromagnetic field around the metal jet originating from a shaped charge, can disperse and scatter the high-speed metal jet. An electric device consisting of an RLC circuit applies an intense electric current pulse that flows in the circuit while the metal jet passes between two electrodes. In this study, the metal jet formation was simulated using the ALE technique in 2-D, and a 3-D finite element model was mapped using 2-D simulation results to induce the electric current directly. The deformed shapes of the metal jet and the electromagnetic force were calculated using a finite element analysis by inducing the electric current directly, and the major parameters of the intense electric current pulse for breaking up the metal jet were examined.

Present studies of these experiments was conducted to using water, over a range of cross-flow velocities from 42 to 136 m/s, with injection frequencies from 35.7 to 166.2 Hz. In cross-flow field, main parameters of liquid jet for secondary breakup were cross-flow drag rather than pressure pulse frequency. As oscillation of the periodic pressure, liquid jet was moved up and down. Also, a bulk of liquid jet puff was detected at upper field of liquid surface. Because of pressure pulsation frequency, an inclination of SMD for the structured layer was evanescent. Cross-sectional characteristics of SMD at downstream area were non-structured distributions. The tendency of volume flux value for various frequency of pressure pulse was same distribution. And volume flux was decreased when the frequency of pressure pulse increasing.

This paper explored the effects of separation control through the use of pulsating jet blowing on a two dimensional elliptical airfoil. To develop an active control technique of flow separation, a flow control actuator utilizing continuous/pulsed jet of pressurized air was designed and installed in a wind tunnel testing model of elliptic wing. PIV measurement and flow visualization of the wing near field were conducted to access the feasibility and effectiveness of the pulsed jet blowing on controlling the stall of the elliptical wing in subsonic flow. PIV experimental results show that separation control can provide significant reduction in turbulent flow wake and separation bubbles by jet blowing. The pulsating jet blowing is more effective on the separation control than continuous one. Increased jet frequency suppressed the turbulent separated flow wake effectively at even higher AOAs.

The present paper describes experimental and computational work to augment the magnitude of the impulsive wave. An experiment was performed using a simple shock tube with an open end and numerical calculations were carried out to solve the unsteady, axisymmetric, inviscid, compressible governing equations. The control strategy applied was to alter the exit geometry of a straight tube to a sudden enlargement tube and a flare tube. The effects of the configurations of the tube exit on the magnitude of the impulsive wave were investigated over the range of the weak shock Mach number from 1.01 to 1.10. The results obtained were compared to those of the straight tube tests. The numerical result predicted the magnitude of the experimented impulsive waves with a good accuracy. The present passive control technique enabled the magnitude of the impulsive wave to augment by about 23 percent, compared to that of the straight tube of no control.

항공기용 원동기는 항공기를 추진시키기 위한 동력장치이다. 항공기가 추진력을 얻기 위해서는 프로펠러를 회전시켜 대량의 공기를 뒤로 가속시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법과, 단순히 배기 가스를 뒤로 고속분사시켜 그 반작용을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 피스톤 엔진은 전자를, 터보 제트 엔진은 후자를 대표하고 있는데 두 가지 방법을 절충하여 터빈으로 프로펠러를 회전시키는 터보 프롭엔진과, 헬리콥터의 로우터를 회전시키는 터보 샤프트 엔진도 있다. 또 터보 제트 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진의 증간성능을 꾀한 터보 팬 엔진이 있는데 효율이 아주 좋기 때문에 급속히 발 전되어 항공기용 원동기의 대명사격으로 현재 군용이나 민간기용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 최 근에는 터보팬 엔진과 터보 프롭 엔진을 절충한 새로운 터보 프롭 APT (advanced turbo prop) 엔진의 실용화가 추진되고 있다. 이상과 같은 종류의 엔진 이외에도 항공기용 원동기에는 극히 제한된 용도에 쓰이는 램 제트와 펄스 제트 엔진 그리고 로켓 엔진 등이 있다. 원동기는 그 용 도에 따라 개발, 활용되는 것이기 때문에 오랜 역사를 지닌 피스톤 엔진은 아직까지도 경항공 기용 원동기의 주류를 이루고 있고, 앞으로도 터보 프롭 엔진과 더불어 나름대로 계속 활용될 것으로 전망된다.

The impingement of a weak shock wane discharged from the open end of a shock tube upon a flat plate was investigated using shock tube experiments and numerical simulations. Harten-Yee Total Variation Diminishing method was used to solve axisymmetric, unsteady, compressible flow governing equations. Experiments were carried out to validate the present computations. The effects of the flat plate and baffle plate sizes on the impinging flow field over the flat plate were investigated. Shock Mach number was varied in the range from 1.05 to 1.20. The distance between the plate and shock tube was changed to investigate the effect on the peak pressure. From both the results of experiments and computations we obtained a good empirical equation to predict the peak pressure on the flat plate.
