A Compuressible turbulent boundary layer effect of the high temperature, accelerating gas flow through the De-Laval nozzle on combustion chamber pressure is numerically investigated. For this purpose, the coupled momentum integral equation and energy integral equation are solved by the Bartz method, and 1/7 power law for both the turbulent boundary layer velocity distribution and temperature distribution is assumed. As far as the boundary layer thicknesses are concerned, we can obtain reasonable solutions even if relatively simple approximations to the skin friction coefficient and stanton number have been used. The effects of nozzle wall cooling and/or mass flow rate on the boundary layer thicknesses and the combustion chamber pressure are studied. Specifically, negative displacement thickness is appeared as the ratio of the nozzle wall temperature to the stagnation temperature of the free stream decreases, and, consequently, it makes the combustion chamber pressure low.

이번 연구에서는 de Laval nozzle를 이용하여 다양한 유체해석 모델과 프로그램을 비교하여 그 성능을 파악하였다. de Laval nozzle은 eigenvalue에 의해 eigenvector값이 '-'와 '+'값을 동시에 갖는 물리현상을 내포하고 있으며, 압력조건에 따라 내부에서 Normal shock이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 non-linearity를 현재 우리가 주로 사용하고 있는 상용프로그램(cfx, fluent)과 EDISON, 직접 코딩한 프로그램(Matlab이용)이 얼마나 잘 표현하는지 알아보았다. 그 결과 Van Leer Vector Splitting을 이용할 경우 물리현상을 제일 잘 표현 하였다. 또한 난류 유동(Turbulence flow)을 고려하게 될 경우, Mesh가 Boundary layer를 표현할 정도로 정밀하지 못하다면 제대로 된 해석 결과를 얻을 수 없었으며, Wall 근처에서 Non-slip condition에 의해 Vortex가 형성되고, 이 Vortex가 Back flow를 유도하여 해가 수렴하는데 방해를 하게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 이를 방지하기 위해서는 유동이 잘 표현될 수 있도록 적절한 Computational environment를 형성해 주는 것이 매우 중요하다.

The ablation characteristics of graphite nozzle throat insert is analyzed for the use in solid rocket propulsion system. The propulsion system is composed of three types of conventional nozzles, such as De-Laval type, blast tube type, and submerged type. Various kinds of propellants are used in the thirteen kinds of propulsion system that has different shapes of each other. Total thirty seven tests are performed. From the results of the analysis, it is found that the ablation rate is higher for the higher average chamber pressure and the higher concentration of oxidizing species in combustion gas.

The ablation characteristics of graphite nozzle throat insert was analyzed for the use in solid rocket propulsion system. The propulsion system was composed of three types of conventional nozzles, such as De-Laval type, blast tube type, and submerged type. Various kinds of propellants were used in ten kinds of propulsion system that had different shapes with each other. Total forty eight tests were performed. From the results of the analysis, it was found that the ablation rate was increased for the higher average chamber pressure and the higher oxidizer mole fraction. A useful correlation for nozzle throat ablation rate was developed in terms of the chamber pressure, oxidizer mole fraction, and throat size. The calculated ablation rates from the correlation showed agreement within ${\pm}0.10mm/s$ with the experimentally determined values.

Though rocket nozzle flow is very important to the rocket performance, the direct measurement is very difficult because of high temperature and high pressure gas flow. Then the experiment utilizing the hydraulic analogy has been developed for such a problem. Supersonic flows through an axisymmetric De Laval nozzle of solid rocket motor was simulated in a 2-D sluice-type water-table designed and manufactured utilizing hydraulic analogy. Methods to minimize or account for non-analogous effects in the hydraulic system must be reviewed for the quantitative application of the hydraulic analogy. In this application the water table is inclined slightly, so that gravity acceleration has a small component in the direction of motion, thus compensating for the effect of friction. Flow visualization leads to better understanding of the analogous system. Within the experimental errors, it is shown that the hydraulic analogy can be used as an effective tool for the study of two dimensional isentropic flows of gases in many fields.

Plasma density in semiconductor fabrication equipment becomes higher to achieve the improved the throughput of the process, but the increase of surface corrosion of the ceramic coated chamber wall has been observed by the increased plasma density. Plasma chamber wall coating with aerosol deposition prefer to be firm and uniform to prevent the potential creation of particle inside the chamber from the deformation of the coating materials, and the aerosol discharge nozzle is a good control factor for the deposited coating condition. In this paper, we investigated the design of the nozzle of the aerosol deposition to form a high-quality coating film. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was employed to minimize boundary layer effect and shock wave. The degree of expansion, and design of simulation approach was applied to found out the relationship between the divergence angle and nozzle length as the key parameter for the nozzle design. We found that the trade-off tendency between divergence angle and nozzle length through simulation and quantitative analysis, and present the direction of nozzle design that can improve the uniformity of chamber wall coating.

The cold spray process is an emerging technology that utilizes high velocity metallic particles for surface coating. Metallic powder particles are injected into a converging-diverging de Laval nozzle and accelerated to a high velocity by a supersonic gas flow. The cold spray process normally uses a circular nozzle that has a rather narrow spraying range. To overcome this fault, a slit nozzle was considered in this study. The slit nozzle is anticipated to reduce the coating process time because it has a wider coating width than the circular nozzle. However, the slit nozzle can reduce the coating efficiency because it does not allow as much gas and particle velocity as the circular nozzle. To improve the coating efficiency of a slit nozzle, the shape of the slit nozzle was modified. And the results of gas flow and particle behaviour according to the nozzlers shape were compared by the a numerical analysis. As a results, as Expansion Ratio(ER) of 7.5 was found to be the most optimal condition for enhancing the spraying efficiency when the ER was changed by the variation of nozzle neck and exit size.
