천연가스는 전세계적으로 매장량이 풍부하며 청정성과 경제성을 동시에 갖춘 연료로써 향후 자동차용 연료로 널리 사용될 전망이다. 천연가스를 사용하는 엔진의 출력 및 배출가스 특성을 최적화하기 위해서는 연료량 제어가 필수적이며 이를 위해서는 분사기의 성능이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 대형 가스엔진에 고유량을 공급할 수 있는 가스분사기를 직접 개발하여 실제 엔진에 장착하여 기존의 고유량 가스분사기와 성능을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 가스분사기는 듀티 증가에 따라 선형적인 유량 특성을 지니고 있음을 파악하였으며 이를 통해 분사량 제어성이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 듀티 10% 미만의 조건에서도 분사유량은 선형성을 지니고 있으며 제어성도 우수하다.

This paper describes numerical study of combustion characteristics in CNG(compressed natural gas) DI(direct injection) engine using gaseous sphere injection model. Simulations were conducted using KIVA-3V Release 2 code. Gaseous sphere injection model, which is modified model of liquid fuel injection, was used to simulate the CNG direct injection. Until now, a very fine mesh smaller than the injector nozzle has been required to resolve the gas-jet inflow boundary. However, the gaseous sphere injection model simulates gaseous fuel injection using a coarse mesh. This model injects gaseous spheres as in liquid fuel injection and the gaseous spheres evaporate together without the latent heat of evaporation. Therefore, it does not require a very fine mesh and reduce calculation time. Combustion simulation were performed under various injection timings and injection pressures.

This paper describes the modeling of CNG direct injection using gaseous sphere injection model. Simulation of CNG direct injection does not need break up and evaporation model compared to that of liquid fuel injection. And very fine mesh is needed near the injector nozzle to resolve the inflow boundary. Therefore it takes long computation time for gaseous fuel injection simulation. However, simulation of CNG direct injection could be performed with the coarse mesh using gaseous sphere injection model. This model was integrated in KIVA-3V code and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model needs to be modified because this model tends to over-predict gas jet diffusion. Furthermore, we preformed experiments of gaseous fuel injection using PLIF (planar laser induced fluorescence)method. Gaseous fuel injection model was validated against experiment data. The simulation results agreed well with the experiment results. Therefore gaseous sphere injection model has the reliability about gaseous fuel direct injection. And this model was predicted well a general tendency of gaseous fuel injection.

LPG 분사시스템의 경우 액상 및 기상 인젝터를 사용하는 두 가지 방식이 있으며, 가스 분사 방식의 경우 내구성 및 가격 측면에서 장점이 있지만 가스의 압축성 특성으로 인한 정밀 유량제어에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 가스분사 방식 LPG 연료 분사 시스템에서 정밀 유량 제어를 위한 수단으로 헬름홀쯔 공진기를 사용하는 방안을 제시하였다. 그리고 상용 유동해석 프로그램인 Flowmaster를 사용하여 대상 자동차의 연료 시스템에 대해 유동해석을 통해 최적의 공진기를 설계방안을 설계하였으며, 공진기 설치 후 개선 효과를 제시하였다.

The use of clean gaseous fuels for the purpose of high efficiency and low emission in automotive engines has tendency to increase in order to meet the reinforcing emission regulations and to efficiently utilize limited natural resources. Automotive companies developed and commercialized a LPG liquid injection system, which is mounted on LPLi(Liquid Phase LPG Injection) engines and vehicles based on this research trend. This research examines the biggest problem in LPLi engine, that is, the leakage characteristics of low viscosity LPG fuel according to the injector design variables. This study is also aimed to improve the performance of fuel-leakage in LPLi engine through the addition of a lubrication improver in HFRR(High Frequency Reciprocating Rig) facility. The needle displacement and the spring displacement of an LPLi injector are found to be already optimized. The possibility of a maximum of 70% leakage reduction compared to a conventional case, is verified when 1000ppm of a lubrication improvement material is added and 40% increase of a injector spring constant (K) is applied.

A comprehensive numerical study is carried out to investigate for the understanding of the flow evolution and flame development in a supersonic combustor with normal injection of ncumally injecting hydrogen in airsupersonic flows. The formulation treats the complete conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration for a multi-component chemically reacting system. For the numerical simulation of supersonic combustion, multi-species Navier-Stokes equations and detailed chemistry of H2-Air is considered. It also accommodates a finite-rate chemical kinetics mechanism of hydrogen-air combustion GRI-Mech. 2.11[1], which consists of nine species and twenty-five reaction steps. Turbulence closure is achieved by means of a k-two-equation model (2). The governing equations are spatially discretized using a finite-volume approach, and temporally integrated by means of a second-order accurate implicit scheme (3-5).The supersonic combustor consists of a flat channel of 10 cm height and a fuel-injection slit of 0.1 cm width located at 10 cm downstream of the inlet. A cavity of 5 cm height and 20 cm width is installed at 15 cm downstream of the injection slit. A total of 936160 grids are used for the main-combustor flow passage, and 159161 grids for the cavity. The grids are clustered in the flow direction near the fuel injector and cavity, as well as in the vertical direction near the bottom wall. The no-slip and adiabatic conditions are assumed throughout the entire wall boundary. As a specific example, the inflow Mach number is assumed to be 3, and the temperature and pressure are 600 K and 0.1 MPa, respectively. Gaseous hydrogen at a temperature of 151.5 K is injected normal to the wall from a choked injector.A series of calculations were carried out by varying the fuel injection pressure from 0.5 to 1.5MPa. This amounts to changing the fuel mass flow rate or the overall equivalence ratio for different operating regimes. Figure 1 shows the instantaneous temperature fields in the supersonic combustor at four different conditions. The dark blue region represents the hot burned gases. At the fuel injection pressure of 0.5 MPa, the flame is stably anchored, but the flow field exhibits a high-amplitude oscillation. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.0 MPa, the Mach reflection occurs ahead of the injector. The interaction between the incoming air and the injection flow becomes much more complex, and the fuel/air mixing is strongly enhanced. The Mach reflection oscillates and results in a strong fluctuation in the combustor wall pressure. At the fuel injection pressure of 1.5MPa, the flow inside the combustor becomes nearly choked and the Mach reflection is displaced forward. The leading shock wave moves slowly toward the inlet, and eventually causes the combustor-upstart due to the thermal choking. The cavity appears to play a secondary role in driving the flow unsteadiness, in spite of its influence on the fuel/air mixing and flame evolution. Further investigation is necessary on this issue. The present study features detailed resolution of the flow and flame dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the previous works. In particular, the oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is not related to the cavity, but rather to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield, as also shown experimentally by Ben-Yakar et al. [6], The interactions between the unsteady flow and flame evolution may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The work appears to be the first of its kind in the numerical study of combustion oscillations in a supersonic combustor, although a similar phenomenon was previously reported experimentally. A more comprehensive discussion will be given in the final paper presented at the colloquium.

우주발사체용 액체추진기관 개발에 있어서, 분사기는 연소성능과 안정성을 결정짓는 매우 중요한 요소로써 이에 대한 분무특성 이해는 필수적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서 알아보고자 하는 분사기는 중앙에서 기체산화제를 제트로 분사하고 외부에서 액체연료를 와류(스월)형으로 분사하는 형태이다. 분무형상은 리세스별로 CCD 카메라를 이용한 직접사진기법을 통해 측정하였다. 실제 연소조건과의 모사를 위해 기체질소와 물을 사용하였고, 운동량비를 주요 상사인자로 두어 대기압 수류 시험조건을 도출하여 분무특성을 알아보았다. 또한 기체-액체 운동량비의 영향을 알아보기 위한 연구가 추가적으로 이루어졌다.
