A spike attached to a blunt nosed body significantly alters its flow field and influences the aerodynamic coefficients at hypersonic speed. The basic body is an axisymmetric, with a hemisphere nose followed by a cylindrical portion. Five different types of spikes, namely, conical aerospike, hemisphere aerospike, flat-face aerospike, hemisphere aerodisk and flat-face aerodisk are attached to the basic body in order to assess the aerodynamic characteristic. The spiked blunt body without the aerospike or aerodisk has been set to be a basic model. The coefficients of drag, lift and pitching moment were measured with and without blunt spike body for the length-to-diameter ratio (L/D) of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0, at Mach 6 and angle of attack up to 8 degrees using a strain gauge balance. The measured forces and moment data are employed to determine the relative performance of the aerodynamic with respect to the basic model. A maximum of 77 percent drag reduction was achieved with hemisphere aerospike of L/D = 2.0. The comparison of aerodynamic coefficients between the basic model and the spiked blunt body reveals that the aerodynamic drag and pitching moment coefficients decrease with increasing the L/D ratio and angle of attack but the lift coefficient has increasing characteristics.

공기 흡입식 극초음속 비행체인 스크램제트의 공력 데이터를 기반으로 하여 꼬리날개 각도와 발생추력을 제어 입력으로 가지는 PID 기반 제어기를 설계했다. 일정한 비행 동압을 가지는 상승궤적과 순항 이후 목표지점을 타격하는 궤적을 기준으로 입력하여 해당 궤적을 추종하는 비행 시뮬레이션을 수행했다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 대해서 초기 상승궤적과 순항 궤적에 대해 비행체 모델에 요구되는 추력을 계산하여 수소 연료 이중 모드 스크램제트 연소기에 요구되는 연료 유량 분석을 위한 연소해석을 진행했다. 본 연구의 연소해석은 독립적으로 개발된 흡입구, 연소기, 노즐, 외부 공력 모델을 통합한 모델에 대해 진행되어 공기 흡입식 극초음속 비행체 통합 설계에 대한 기반을 마련했다.

In high-speed vehicle, selection of fuel, configuration of components and cooling system are required to solve the heating issue by aerodynamic heating and inner combustion process. This subsystem consists of fuel tank, supply pump, various control valve, heat exchanger, including reactor, connecting line, adiabatic structures and insulations. In this paper, applicable fuel property is considered at flight characteristic of hypersonic vehicles. In this regard, current state of fuel/cooling system technology is identified.

The paper evaluates the aerodynamic coefficients on a blunt-nose re-entry capsule with a conical cross-section followed by a cone-flare body. A computer code is developed to solve three-dimensional compressible inviscid equationsfor flow over a Space Recovery Experiment (SRE) configuration at different flare-cone half-angle at Mach 6 and angle of attack up to 5°, at 1° interval. The surface pressure variation is numerically integrated to obtain the aerodynamic forces and pitching moment. The numerical analysis reveals the influence of flare-cone geometry on the flow characteristics and aerodynamic coefficients. The numerical results agree with wind tunnel results. Increase of cone-flare angle from 25° to 35° results in increase of normal force slope, axial forebody drag, base drag and location of centre of pressure by 62.5%, 56.2% and 33.13%, respectively, from the basic configuration ofthe SRE of 25°.

스크램제트 엔진 비행시험체의 굽어진 중앙동체 내부 유로에서 발생하는 충격파-경계층 상호작용에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석에는 압축성 Raynolds Averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) 방정식에 난류모델 k-ω SST을 사용하였다. 대표적으로 노즐 윗 벽면의 박리기포, 오목한 충격파와 경계층의 상호작용, 모서리의 충격파-충격파 상호작용이 포착되었다. 해석 결과는 굽어진 내부 유로의 충격파-경계층 상호작용을 가시화하여 이해를 높이고 설계 유의점을 제시하였다.

This paper presents the development status of a subscale precooled turbojet engine "S-engine" for the hypersonic cruiser and space place. S-engine employs the precooled-cycle using liquid hydrogen as fuel and coolant. It has $23cm{\times}23cm$ of rectangular cross section, 2.6 m of the overall length and about 100 kg of the target weight employing composite materials for a variable-geometry rectangular air-intake and nozzle. The design thrust and specific impulse at sea-level-static(SLS) are 1.2 kN and 2,000 sec respectively. After the system design and component tests, a prototype engine made of metal was manufactured and provided for the system firing test using gaseous hydrogen in March 2007. The core engine performance could be verified in this test. The second firing test using liquid hydrogen was conducted in October 2007. The engine, fuel supplying system and control system for the next flight test were used in this test. We verified the engine start-up sequence, compressor-turbine matching and performance of system and components. A flight test of S-engine is to be conducted by the Balloon-based Operation Vehicle(BOV) at Taiki town in Hokkaido in October 2008. The vehicle is about 5 m in length, 0.55 m in diameter and 500 kg in weight. The vehicle is dropped from an altitude of 40 km by a high-altitude observation balloon. After 40 second free-fall, the vehicle pulls up and S-engine operates for 60 seconds up to Mach 2. High altitude tests of the engine components corresponding to the BOV flight condition are also conducted.

A two-dimensional/axisymmetric CSCM upwind flux difference splitting Wavier-Stokes method has been developed to study the finite rate chemically react-ing invisicd and viscous hypersonic flows over blunt-body. A upwind method was chosen due to its robustness in capturing the strong bow shock waves. For the nonequilibrium chemically reacting air, NS-I species conservation equations were strongly coupled with flowfield equations through convection and species production terms. The nonequilibrium wall pressure and heat transfer rate distributions along the vehicle were compared with those from equilibrium and perfect gas calculations. The nonequilibrium species distribution shows the reduced concentrations of O and N species when compared with equilibrium species distribution. The solutions resolved strong bow shock waves md heat transfer rate very accurately when compared with central difference schemes.

차세대 추진 기관으로 연구되고 있는 스크램제트 엔진의 열역학적 특성들을 검토하였다. 유동이 엔진을 통과하면서 연소에 의해 전압력이 손실되고 노즐 출구 마하수가 감소하지만, 고온 연소 가스가 배출되기 때문에 실질적인 속도는 증가하게 되고 추력이 발생한다. 초음속 연소를 모사하기 위해 blowdown 형태의 초음속 연소 풍동 설계를 위한 개념 설계가 이루어졌다. 초음속 풍동 시험부에서 마하 2.5의 속도를 유지하기 위한 작동 압력과 질유량이 계산되었다.

This paper suggests applying pseudospectral model predictive method for exo-atmospheric guidance. The method is a fusion of pseudospectral law and model predictive control, in which a two point boundary value problem is formulated using model predictive approach and solved by applying pseudospectral law. In this work, the method is applied to exo-atmospheric guidance with specific target requirement. The existing exo-atmospheric guidance methods suffice general requirements for guidance, but cannot ensure specific target constraints; whereas, the presented method is able to do so. The proposed guidance law is assessed through simulation of perturbed cases, and the tests suggest that the method is able to operate semi-autonomously under control and thrust vector perturbations.

본 연구에서는 유/무인 우주발사체의 재진입모듈에 적용되는 Heat-Shield(열차단막)의 형상에 따른 유동특성을 수치해석으로 분석했다. 재진입모듈이 지구의 대기권을 다시 진입하는 환경(고도 70km)을 기준으로 해석을 진행했다. 열차단막의 형상은 평판, 곡률이 다른 타원으로 나누었으며, 각 형상별 유동특성을 확인했다. 결론적으로 재진입 모듈의 형상에 따라 압력과 속도분포를 기준으로 열적인 분포를 예상했으며, 계산된 항력계수를 비교했다. 단순한 유동으로 열적 분포를 예상한 것에 한계가 있지만 대기권 재진입 모듈의 2차원 설계에 도움이 될 형상기준을 제시했다. 수치해석은 모두 Edison_CFD에서 제공하는 툴을 이용해 수행했으며, 전처리에는 e-mega (structured)을 후처리에는 e-dava를 이용했다. 해석 solver는 '정렬격자기반 2차원 압축성 유동 범용해석 소프트웨어'를 이용했다.
