In the present study, a passive control method, using a porous wall and cavity system, is applied to the shock wave/boundary layer interactions in transonic moist air flow. The two-dimensional, unsteady, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations, which are fully coupled with a droplet growth equation, are solved by the third-order MUSCL type TVD finite difference scheme. Baldwin-Lomax model is employed to close the governing equations. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the present control method, the total pressure loss of the flow and the time-dependent behaviour of shock motions are analyzed in detail. The computed results show that the present passive control method considerably reduces the total pressure losses due to the shock wave/boundary layer interaction in transonic moist air flow and suppresses the unsteady shock wave motions over the airfoil as well. It is also found that the location of the porous ventilation significantly affects the control effectiveness.

In the present study, the effects of non-equilibrium condensation on the drag divergence Mach number with the angle of attack in a transonic 2D moist air flow of NACA0012 are investigated using the TVD finite difference scheme. For the same ${\alpha}$, the maximum upstream Mach number of the shock wave, Mmax, and the size of supersonic bubble decrease with the increase in ${\Phi}_0$. For the same $M_{\infty}$, ${\Phi}_0$, and $T_0$, the length of the non-equilibrium condensation zone ${\Delta}_z$ decreases with increasing ${\Phi}_0$. On the other hand, because of the attenuating effect of non-equilibrium condensation on wave drag, which is related to the interaction between the shock wave and the boundary layer, the drag coefficient $C_D$ decreases with an increase in ${\Phi}_0$ for the same $M_{\infty}$ and ${\alpha}$. For the same ${\alpha}$, $M_D$ increases with increasing ${\Phi}_0$, while $M_D$ decreases with an increase in ${\alpha}$.

The under-expanded jet discharged from a nozzle or an orifice has been extensively employed in industrial applications and aerospace technologies. A number of studies have been made to investigate the under-expanded jet structures such as Mach disk, barrel shock wave, jet boundary configuration, etc. In the current study, a computational work is performed to investigate the effect of non-equilibrium condensation of moist air on the under-expanded jet, which is discharged from a sonic nozzle. The results obtained are compared with an available experimental data. It is found that non-equilibrium condensation of moist air alleviates the oscillations of the under-expanded jet, and can increase Mach disk diameter, without changing the location.

the present study, the addresses the hysteric phenomenon of under-expanded jets with a help of a computational fluid dynamics methods. The under-expanded jets of both dry and moist air have been employed to the transient processes for the pressure ratio. It is known that under-expanded air jet produced during the process of increase in pressure ratio behaves different from the reducing process, leading to a hysteric phenomenon of under-expanded jet. It is also known that moist air jet significantly reduces the hysteric phenomenon found in the dry air jet, and that non-equilibrium condensation which occurs in the under-expanded moist air jet is responsible for these findings.

The structure of steady wave system is considered which is admitted by the continuum equations for materials that undergo phase transformations with exothermic chemical reaction. With its theoretical basis in one-dimensional continuum shock structure analysis, the present approach estimates the micro-width of waves associated with phase transformation phenomena, n-heptane is selected as the hydrocarbon fuel for evaporation and condensation analysis while HMX is used for melting and freezing analysis of solid rocket propellant. The estimated thickness of evaporation - condensation front of n-heptane is on the order of $10^{-2}$ micron while the HMX melting - freezing front thickness is estimated at 1 micron.

I consider the structure of steady wave system which is admitted by the continuum equations for materials that undergo phase transformations with exothermic chemical reaction. In particular, the dynamic phase front structures between liquid and gas phases, and solid and liquid phases are computationally investigated. Based on the one-dimensional continuum shock structure analysis, the present approach can estimate the nano-width of waves that are present in combustion. For illustration purpose, n-heptane is used in the evaporation and condensation analysis and HMX is used in the melting and freezing analysis of energetic materials of interest. On-going effort includes extension of this idea to include broad range of liquid and solid fuels, such as rocket propellants.

In a liquid rocket engine system, the flow of oxidizer into the combustion chamber is controlled by the main oxidizer shut-off valve. When the valve is closed, the oxidizer flows via the recirculation line, not into the combustion chamber. In this situation, the measured pressure could be much higher than a design value because of the water hammer phenomenon. In this paper, the experiments on the water hammer in the recirculation line with different initial conditions were conducted in order to study the pressure wave produced in each case. According to the experimental results, characteristics of the pressure wave in the recirculation line depend on the initial condition. To be specific, the pressure surge is maximized in case that the shock is condensation-oriented in the end of the recirculation line.

천음속 익형에서 발생하는 응축충격파와 경계층의 간섭을 피동제어 하여 항력감소에 대한 연구를 2.5$\times$7$\textrm{cm}^2$ 천음속 풍동에서 수행하였다. 익형표면에 설치한 정압공으로 정압을, 익형후방에 설치한 8개의 Pitot probe로 전압을 동시에 측정하여 충격파를 통한 에너지의 손실과 항력의 변화를 계산하였고, 또한 유동장과 충격파의 형상을 가시화하기 위해 슈리렌 가시화 시스템을 사용하였다. 실험은 NACA 0012 익형에서 기공률 변화에 따른 피동제어의 항력감소 초과를 조사한 다음 NACA 64-018 익형에서는 기공률과 공동의 크기의 변화가 미치는 효과를 연구하였다. 피동제어의 개념은 충격파가 발생하는 하부벽을 다공벽으로 만들고 그 아래를 공동으로 만들면 충격파 후방의 상대적으로 높은 압력이 기류의 일부를 공동으로 자연스럽게 유입시키고 다시 공동에서 낮은 압력의 충격파 상류로 유출시키는 것이다.

The technology of wire explosion have been used to product nanopowders. A new concept was proposed to produce metallic nanosized powders, which is wire explosion in liquid media. We have exploded the Ag or Cu wires of diameter of O.3mm, 40mm long, in the de-ionized water or acetone, respectively. Electrical energy of 1.1kJ was stored in 10uF capacitor and released to the wires through a triggered spark gap switch. The process was observed by high-speed camera. Those images showed that the powders were generated by vapor condensation in the shell formed by shock wave in the water. The particles were directly dispersed into the water with collapse of the shell. The sizes of Ag and Cu nanopowders were evaluated to 35nm and 17nm, respectively.
