In a liquid rocket engine, the role of gas-liquid scheme injector as an acoustic resonator or absorber is studied experimentally for combustion stability by adopting linear acoustic test. The acoustic-pressure signals or responses from the chamber are monitored by acoustic amplitude. Acoustic behavior in a rocket combustor with a single injector is investigated and the acoustic-damping effect of the injector is evaluated for cold condition by the quantitative parameter of damping factor as a function of injector length. From the experimental data, it is found that the injector can play a significant role in acoustic damping when it is tuned finely. The optimum tuning-length of the injector to maximize the damping capacity is near half of a full wavelength of the first longitudinal overtone mode traveling in the injector with the acoustic frequency intended for damping in the chamber. When the injector has large diameter, the phenomenon of the mode split is observed near the optimum injector length and thereby, the acoustic-damping effect of the tuned injectors can be degraded.

Acoustic behavior in baffled combustion chambers is numerically investigated by adopting linear acoustic analysis. Partial blade baffle, which is a variant of blade baffle, and hub-blade baffle with six blades are employed as baffle models. Through modal analysis, natural frequencies of each acoustic mode in baffled chambers are calculated and the reduction in natural frequencies caused by baffle installation is examined. Through harmonic analysis, acoustic pressure responses of each chamber to acoustic oscillating excitation are shown. The first tangential mode is found to be most sensitive to acoustic oscillation. Acoustic damping effect of baffle is quantified by damping factor. Damping effect of hub-blade baffle is the most appreciable and damping factor of partial blade baffle is much lower than that of blade baffle. Damping effect of six-blade baflle on the second tangential mode is as much as on the first tangential mode and hub-blade baffle can damp out appreciably the first tangential as well as the first radial mode with the aid of hub.

연소실내 음향 감쇠를 위해 장착되는 반파장 공명기의 반경 방향 위치 효과를, 상온에서의 선형 음향 실험을 통해 실험적으로 연구하였다. 음향 감쇠의 정량화를 위해 감쇠 인자를 사용하였다. 감쇠하고 하는 음향 모드에 대해 공명기가 최적의 길이를 갖는 경우에는, 반경 방향 위치의 증가에 따라 음향 감쇠 효과가 증가하였다. 또한, 감쇠 인자의 변화 추이는 감쇠시키고자 하는 음향 모드의 진폭 변화 추이와 유사하였다. 장착 위치가 장착면의 중심에 접근할수록 음향 감쇠 효과가 감소할 뿐만 아니라 분사기 길이와의 상관성토 감소하였다. 한편, 공명기가 비최적 길이를 갖는 경우에는, 반경 방향 위치 효과가 거의 나타나지 않아 위치와 무관한 감쇠 인자값을 관찰할 수 있었다. 공명기의 길이와 위치에 따라 감쇠 성능을 평가하였다.

Effects of various baffle designs on acoustic characteristics in combustion chamber are numerically investigated by adopting linear acoustic analysis. A hub-blade configuration with five blades is selected as a candidate baffle and five variants of baffles with various specifications are designed depending on baffle height and hub position. As damping parameters, natural-frequency shift and damping factor are considered and the damping capacity of various baffle designs is evaluated. Increase in baffle height results in more damping capacity and the hub position affects appreciably the damping of the first radial resonant mode. Depending on baffle height, two close resonant modes could be overlapped and thereby the damping factor for one resonant mode is increased exceedingly. The present procedure based on acoustic analysis is expected to be a useful tool to predict acoustic field in combustion chamber and to design the passive control devices such as baffle and acoustic resonator.

Acoustic behavior in gas turbine combustor with acoustic resonator is investigated numerically by adopting linear acoustic analysis. Helmholtz-type resonator is employed as acoustic resonator to suppress acoustic instability passively. The tuning frequency of acoustic resonator is adjusted by varying its length. Through harmonic analysis, acoustic-pressure responses of chamber to acoustic excitation are obtained and the resonant acoustic modes are identified. Acoustic damping effect of acoustic resonator is quantified by damping factor. As the tuning frequency of acoustic resonator approaches the target frequency of the resonant mode to be suppressed, mode split from the original resonant mode to lower and upper modes appears and thereby complex patterns of acoustic responses show up. Considering mode split and damping effect as a function of tuning frequency, it is desirable to make acoustic resonator tuned to broad-band frequencies near the maximum frequency of those of the possible upper modes.

반파장 공명기가 장착된 연소실의 비선형 음향 감쇠를 알아보기 위하여 비선형 음향해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 공명기가 없는 기본 연소실에 80 dB에서 150 dB의 넓은 범위의 음향파를 가진하여 음향장을 분석하였다. 제 1 접선방향 음향 모드의 감쇠율은 가진되는 음향파의 크기에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하였고, 125 dB 이상부터 비선형성이 나타나기 시작했다. 다음으로 반파장 공명기의 감쇠 효과를 조사하였다. 선형해석으로부터 유도된 최적의 음향학적인 동조 조건이 비선형 음향해석에서도 여전히 유효함을 알 수 있었다. 큰 음향파의 섭동에 대한 감쇠는 효과적이지만, 선형 음향 가진에 비해서 음향학적인 감쇠기로써의 기능은 작아짐을 알 수 있었다.

Acoustic characteristics of baffled combustion chamber to elucidate suppressing effect of baffle on combustion instability are numerically investigated by linear acoustic analysis. A hub-blade baffle of 5 blades is selected as a candidate one and five variants of baffles with various configuration are designed. Resonant-frequency shift and damping factor are analyzed quantitatively as damping parameters. When the hub is located radially at the pressure node, the decrease of resonant frequency and increase of damping factor in 1R mode are dominant. But sub-1T mode is formed within hub, therefore, there would be a possibility of initiating 1T mode in unbaffled region, which would occur another problem. For smaller hub size, four kinds of axial baffle length is selected. As the axial baffle length increases, resonant frequency shift and increase of damping factor of transverse acoustic modes is obtained. Especially, two close acoustic modes such as 1L and 1T could be overlapped for a certain axial length, resulting in extreme increase of damping factor. The present study based on linear acoustic analysis is expected to be a useful confirming tool to predict acoustic field and design a passive control devices such as baffle and acoustic cavity.

Acoustic characteristics of combustion chamber having various baffle configurations are numerically investigated by linear acoustic analysis to suggest reliable baffle specifications in first stage of KSLV-I. To determine the configuration of baffles, an acoustic modal analysis as well as the macroscopic analysis has been done. Hub has another effect of suppressing transverse acoustic mode by confining flow in baffled compartment over general effect of increase in acoustic damping of radial acoustic modes. So, a sufficient number of hub needs to be installed to obtain acoustic damping capacity. 3-blade configuration designed to suppress the first tangential mode has relatively low damping capacity, compared to 5 or 6-blade one. Optimum value of axial baffle length has been determined by comparing acoustic characteristics of combustion chamber having various baffle lengths.

연소 안정화를 위해 로켓엔진 연소기에 장착될 수 있는 반파장 음향 공명기의 비선형 음향 감쇠 특성을 비선형 해석을 통해 조사하였다. 먼저, 공명기가 장착되지 않은 기본 연소실에 대해 넓은 범위의 진폭($80{\sim}150$ dB)을 갖는 음향 가진에 대한 연소실의 감쇠 거동을 조사한 결과, 진폭에 따라 연소실의 감쇠인자가 증가하며 125 dB 이상의 진폭에 대해서는 비선형 거동이 뚜렷이 나타남을 알았다. 반파장 공명기가 장착된 연소기에서의 계산 결과, 해당 공명기의 최적 동조조건은 진폭에 무관하였고, 높은 진폭의 압력파를 감쇠하는 기능은 유지되지만, 상대적으로 음향 공명기로서의 역할은 약화됨을 알 수 있었다.
