Combustion stability characteristics in actual full-scale combustion chamber of a rocket engine are investigated by experimental tests with the model (sub-scale) chamber. The present hot-fire tests adopt the combustion chamber with three configurations of triplet impinging-jet injectors such as F-O-O-F, F-O-F, and O-F-O configurations. Combustion stability bound-aries are obtained and presented by the parameters of combustion-chamber pressure and mixture (oxidizer/fuel) ratio. From the experimental tests, two instability regions are observed and the pressure oscillations have the similar patterns irrespective of injector configuration. But, the O-F-O injector configuration shows broader upper-instability region than the other configurations. To verify the instability mechanism for the lower and upper instability regions, air-purge acoustic test is conducted and the photograph or the flames is taken. As a result, it is found that the pressure oscillations in the two regions can be characterized by the first impinging point of hydraulic jets and pre-blowout combustion, respectively.

종횡비(Length/Diameter, L/D)가 크고, 실린더-슬롯형 그레인을 적용한 고체로켓모터의 연소시험에서 연소불안정 현상이 발생하였다. 압력섭동을 스펙트럼 분석한 결과 중심축 길이방향 주파수가 지배적임이 확인되어, 음향노드와의 일치를 해소하기 위해 실린더 파트의 길이를 증가시켰다. 또한 고체로켓모터에서 발생하는 유동 구조에 의한 불안정성 발생 원인을 분석하기 위하여 음향모드해석과 유동해석을 수행하였다. 설계 변경 전후 그레인 형상을 이용하여 연소실 내 압력 진동 크기 및 주파수에 대해 정량적 비교를 통해 연소불안정이 저감됨을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 연소시험을 수행하여 해석결과와 같이 연소불안정 현상이 사라짐을 확인하였다.

This paper describes numerical efforts to investigate combustion characteristics of HyShot scramjet combustor, where gaseous hydrogen is transversely injected into a supersonic cross flow. The corresponding altitude, angle of attack, and equivalence ratio are 35-23 km, $0^{\circ}$, and 0.426 respectively. Two-dimensional simulation reasonably predicts combustor inner pressure distribution and reveals periodic combustion characteristics of HyShot scramjet combustor. Altitude effects are also investigated and the strength of flow instability and subsonic boundary layer thickness affect the combustion efficiency according to altitudes. Frequency analyses provide the flow instability effects on the turbulent combustion in HyShot scramjet combustor.

In this paper we propose a new approach for an analysis and a prediction of combustion instability of lean premixed gas turbines. Our approach is based on the Nyquist stability criterion in control theory and a transfer function representation of a one-dimensional (1D) thermoacoustic system. A key advantage of the proposed approach is that one can systematically characterize the effects of various parameters of a combustor system on combustion instability. Our analysis method was applied to a real combustion system and the analysis results were consistent with experimental data.

This paper presents the methods and examples of proper orthogonal decomposition analysis for the understanding of high speed flame movements induced by combustion instabilities in a gas turbine. Phase resolved high-speed flame images were obtained from the combustion test of an industrial gas turbine at the rate of 2000 frame per second, and were utilized for the proper orthogonal decomposition. This analyzing method provided useful information regarding combustion instability characteristics bringing alleviation idea of the instabilities, such as principle modes of flame movement and their energy fractions which mean by which modes and how much the flame coherent structures are composed.

The Saffman-Taylor instability mechanisms in laminar premixed flames in a Hele-Shaw cell are investigated using two-dimensional numerical simulations with Poiseuille assumption for the viscous effect. The baseline calculations considering the Darrieus-Landau and diffusive-thermal instability modes show the results consistent with the classical linear instability theory. With the Saffrnan-Taylor instability mechanism. the overall effect is to enhance the destabilizing mechanism by providing an increased viscous force in the product gas. The linear instability behavior is found to qualitatively similar to the Darrieus-Landau mechanism. However, the results in the nonlinear range demonstrate that there may exist distinct characteristic time scales associated with Darrieus-Landau and Saffman-Taylor mechanisms, such that the latter effect sustains longer in time, contributing to a higher overall flame speed.

파라핀 왁스는 높은 후퇴율 때문에 하이브리드 로켓의 연료로 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 하지만 파라핀 연료의 연소에서도 비정상적인 저주파수 연소압력 진동이 관찰되고 있는데, 이는 연료 표면에 형성된 액체층과 액적의 유입과 관련이 있는 것으로 추론된다. 본 연구는 액적에 의한 추가적 연소와 저주파수 연소불안정 발생과의 관계를 분석하였다. 한편, 액적의 발생은 관성력과 액체의 표면장력의 비로 정의되는 We수(Weber Number)와 액체층의 Re수(Reynolds Number)에 따라 변화하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 일차적으로 실험실 규모의 로켓을 사용하여 We수에 따른 연소불안정의 발생여부를 관찰하였다. We수의 조절은 산화제 유량 변화를 통한 관성력의 변화와 LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene) 첨가에 의한 표면장력의 변화를 통해 시도하였다. 저주파수의 연소불안정의 발생은 특정한 We수 이상에서만 관찰되었고 임계 We수가 존재하는 것을 확인하였다.

Most of gas turbines is operated by the type of dry premixed combustion to reduce NOx emission and economize fuel consumption. However this type operation, combustion induced instability brought failure problems cause by high pressure and heat release fluctuations. Though there has been lots of studies since Lord Rayleigh to understand this instability mechanism and control the instabilities, none of them made matters clear. In order to understand the instability phenomena, a simple experimental study with dump combustor was conducted at the moderate pressure and ambient temperature conditions. From this model gas turbine combustor self-excited instabilities at the resonance mode(200Hz) and bulk mode(10Hz) were occurred and observed at the three points of view; pressure, heat release and equivalence ratio which are acquired by peizo-electric transducer, HICCD camera and acetone LIF respectively. From this results we could see the instability mechanism clear with the account of time scale analysis which explained by the propagation of pressure wave to the upward of mixture stream and convectional transfer of the equivalence ratio fluctuation by this pressure fluctuation.

Combustion instability is critical problem in developing liquid rocket engine. There have been many efforts to solve this problem. In this study, the method was sought through the injector as part of these efforts to suppress combustion instability. If the injector can suppress the disturbance coming from the supply line as a kind of buffer it will serve to reduce combustion instability. Especially we target at gas propellant oscillation in gas-centered swirl coaxial injector. The phenomenon is simulated with acoustic excitation of speaker. The film thickness response at injector exit was measured by using a liquid film electrode. Also the response of spray to the disturbance was observed by high-speed photography. Gas-liquid momentum flux ratio and the frequency of feeding gas oscillation were changed to investigate the effect of these experimental parameters. The trend of response by varying these parameters and the cause of weak points was studied to suggest the better design of injector for suppressing combustion instability.
