When supersonic jet impinges on wall from the nozzle, complex flow pattern appears such as Mach disc, expansion fan, and jet boundary. The numerical computation of this supersonic jet is important on flame deflecctor design for launch space especially. In this paper, we analyzed supersonic jet structure impinging on deflector wall using three dimensional steady and unsteady compressible equation and showed temperature and pressure distribution on the wall surface. As a result, some dominant factors of jet flows are discussed for conceptual design of flame deflector.

In the present, The theoretical and numerical results of gas flow characteristics inside a swirl injector are presented. For this purpose a one-dimensional (theoretical) model and 2D/3D CFD models are proposed for use in the design of the injector. It was found that contradictory to the classical theory about the compressible flow, the swirl has a significant effect on the mass flow rate and the choking conditions. It was found that the one-dimensional model provides reasonably accurate results compared with the 2D/3D numerical results, and thus can be used at the initial stage of the swirl-injector design process.

Interface tracking of two phase is significant to analyze multi-phase phenomena. The VOF(Volume of Fluid) and level set are well known interface tracking method. However, they have limitations to solve compressible flow and incompressible flow at the same time. CIP(Cubic Interpolate Propagation) method is appropriate for considering compressible and incompressible flow at once by solving the governing equation which is divided up into advection and non-advection term. In this article, we analyze the droplet impingement according to various We number using improved CIP method which treats nonlinear term once more comparison with original CIP method. Furthermore, we compare spread radius after droplet impingement on the wall with the experimental data and original CIP original CIP method, and it reduces the mass conservation error which is generated in the numerical analysis comparison with original CIP method.

In this numerical experiment, the preconditioned compressible Navier-Stokes equation is tested to analyze the laminar spray combustion. Sprayed flow field is formulated by Eulerian-Lagrangian system for the gas and liquid phases each. DSF(Deterministic Separated Flow) model was adopted for the sprays with the vortex model to describe transients of individual droplet heating. Simplified single global reaction model approximates methanol-air reaction with and without disk flame holder. The equation system is discretized by finite difference technique and time integrated by LU-SGS. Due to greatly simplified chemical reaction mechanism and the lack of experimental evidences, most of the efforts were devoted to show the applicability and robustness of preconditioned compressible flow calculation algorithm. Computation results in qualitatively reasonable combusting flow field, hence it is believed that further refinement are required to produce quantitatively accurate solutions.

Time marching algorithms applied to compressible Navier-Stokes equation have a convergence problem at low Mach number. It is mainly due to the eigenvalue stiffness and pressure singularity as Mach number approaches to zero. Among the several methods to overcome the shortcomings of time marching scheme, time derivative preconditioning method have been used successfully. In this numerical analysis, we adopted a preconditioner of K.H. Chen and developed a two-dimensional, axisymmetric Navier-Stokes program. The steady state driven cavity flow and backward facing step flow problems were computed to confirm the accuracy and the robustness of preconditioned algorithm for low Mach number flows. And the transonic and supersonic flows insice the JPL axisymmetric nozzle internal flow is exampled to investigate the effects of preconditioning at high Mach number flow regime. Test results showed excellent agreement with the experimental data.

An analysis on the steady-state has been made of flow of a compressible fluid rapidly-rotating in a pipe. The flow is induced by an small arbitrary azimuthally-varying thermal forcing added on the basic state of rigid body isothermal rotation. The system Ekman number is assumed to be very small value. Analytic solutions have been obtained for axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric types, in which the axisymmetric solution comes from the azimuthally-averaged wall boundary condition and the non-axisymmetric solution from fluctuating wall boundary condition.

A numerical analysis has been performed to give an understanding of the physics of a compressible base flow with mass bleed in a Mach 2.47 freestream. Axisymmetric, compressible mass-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are computed using a two-equation turbulence model, standard ${\kappa}-{\omega}$, and a fully implicit finite volume scheme. The mass bleed is characterized by the change in the mass flow rate of the bleed jet non-dimensionalized by the product of the base area and freestream mass flux. The result showing that there is an optimum bleed condition with maximum base pressure, leading to a minimum base drag, is clearly predicted and the validation with experimental data shows reasonable agreement.

Glove valves are used for various purposes in the process control field because such valves enable easy control of temperature and pressure. However, such valves are associated with significant loss of pressure and also have the disadvantage of complicating the shape of the cage or plug to facilitate linear flow rate change. In this paper, the shape of the plug, one of the valve flow control elements, was designed to improve the flow characteristics of the glove valve, and then CFD analysis was performed using compressible fluid. The numerical analysis results of the glove valve were analyzed according to the opening ratio and the pressure ratio of the valve. From these results, it was found that the proper notch on the side of the plug contributed to reducing the energy loss of the fluid through the valve and improving the linearity of the valve.

Ultrasonic flow metering(UFM) technology is being received much attention from a variety of industrial fields to exactly measure the flow rate. The UFM has much advantage over other conventional flow meter systems, since it has no moving parts, and offers good accuracy and reliability without giving any disturbances to measure the flow rate, thereby not causing pressure losses in the flow fields. In the present study, 3-dimensional, unsteady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a finite volume scheme, based upon the second order upwind scheme for spatial derivatives and the multi-stage Runge-Kutta integral method for time derivatives. In order to simulate multi-path ultrasonic flow meter, an excited pressure signal is applied to three different locations upstream, and the pressure signals are received at three different locations downstream. The mean flow velocities are calculated by the time difference between upstream and downstream propagating pressure signals. The obtained results show that the present CFD method simulates successfully ultrasonic meter gas flow and the mean velocity measured along the chord near the wall is considerably influenced by the boundary layers.

A rupture in a high-pressure pipe causes the fluid in the pipe to be discharged in the atmosphere at a high speed resulting in a supersonic jet that generates the compressible flow. This supersonic jet may display complicated and unsteady behavior in general. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to investigate the compressible flow generated by a supersonic jet ejected from a high-pressure pipe. A Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model was selected to analyze the unsteady nature of the flow, which depends upon the various gases as well as the diameter of the pipe. In the CFD analysis, the basic boundary conditions were assumed to be as follows: pipe of diameter 10 cm, jet pressure ratio of 5, and an inlet gas temperature of 300 K. During the analysis, the behavior of the shockwave generated by a supersonic jet was observed and it was found that the blast wave was generated indirectly. The pressure wave characteristics of hydrogen gas, which possesses the smallest molecular mass, showed the shortest distance to the safety zone. There were no significant difference observed for nitrogen gas, air, and oxygen gas, which have similar molecular mass. In addition, an increase in the diameter of the pipe resulted in the ejected impact caused by the increased flow rate to become larger and the zone of jet influence to extend further.
