Combustion stability rating of jet injector is conducted numerically using air-injection technique in a model chamber, where air is supplied to oxidizer and fuel manifolds of the model five-element injector head. A sample F(fuel)-O(oxidizer)-O-F impinging-jet injector is adopted. In this technique, we can simulate mixing process of streams flowing through oxidizer and fuel orifices under cold-flow condition without chemical reaction. The model chamber was designed based on the methodologies proposed in the previous work regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions. From numerical data, unstable regions can be identified and they are compared with those from air-injection acoustic and hot-fire tests. The present stability boundaries are in a good agreement with experimental results. The proposed numerical method can be applied cost-effectively to stability rating of jet injectors when mixing of fuel and oxidizer jets is the dominant process in instability triggering.

충돌형 분사기가 장착된 모델 연소실에서 연소장 수치 해석을 이용하여 연소 안정성을 평가하였다. 충돌형 분사기로는 F(fuel)-O(oxidizer)-O-F형 분사기를 채택하였다. 본 연구에서는 연료와 산화제의 제트 혼합과정이 지배적이라는 가정하에 순간 화학 반응 모델을 채택하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 선행 연구를 통해 제안된 방법론을 토대로 모델 연소실 형상이 설계되고 연소실 작동 조건이 결정되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 토대로 얻은 연소 안정성 경계는 공기 분사 음향 실험과 연소 실험결과와 정성적으로 잘 일치하였다. 연료와 산화제의 분사와 혼합이 연소 불안정 유발에 지배적인 경우, 본 연구에서 제안된 수치해석 기법을 이용하여 효과적으로 분사기의 연소 안정성을 평가할 수 있다.

Liquid phase mixing of impinging injector is a resultant byproduct from the momentum exchange between a pair of impinging jets and penetration of opponent jet. Principal aim of the present study is revealing the liquid phase mixing mechanism of split triplet impinging injection sprays, and thus extending our understanding on this particular injection element. Overall mixing extent is estimated from patternation tests by the use of purified tap water and kerosene to simulate the real propellant components, respectively, and with the liquid jet momentum ratio, a controlling mixing parameter, in the range of 0.5 to 6.0. Emphasis is placed on the effect of liquid sheet superposition and disintegration, and the results with detailed spray visualization revealed the fact that superposed liquid sheet disintegration is the main pathway of liquid phase mixing of split triplet impinging injector to yield enhanced mixing qualities.

In this research, the velocity distribution of the liquid sheet formed by two impinging jets at low velocities are measured using LDV. The spatial distribution of the sheet velocity as well as the effects of impinging anlge and jet velocity on the sheet velocity are examined. The sheet velocity is highest along the sheet axis and it decreases with the increase of the azimuthal angle. With the increase of the impinging angle, the average sheet velocity is decreased due to the increased impact momentum. The average sheet velocity is proportional to the jet velocity but it is always higher than the jet velocity. This result is against the fact that the sheet velocity can be assumed to be equal to the jet velocity in the previous researches.

로켓의 연소불안정과 관련되어 분사기의 동특성을 연구하는 일은 중요하다. 와류형 분사기의 동특성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어졌지만 충돌형 분사기의 동특성에 대해서는 알려진 바가 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 충돌형 분사기의 동특성을 규명하기 위해 이에 관한 실험을 수행하였으며 동적거동을 생성시키기 위해 특별히 제작된 압력섭동기(mechanical pulsator)가 사용되었다. 가진주파수와 매니폴드 압력의 여러 조건 하에서 게인(gain)과 위상차(phase difference)를 분석하였고 주파수는 5, 10, 15 Hz의 낮은 영역에 맞춰졌다. 제트 속도를 결정하기 위한 방법에 대해 논의하였으며 실험과정 중에 나타난 특정현상이 클라이스트론(Klystron) 효과와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되어 이에 대해 고려하였다.

An experimental investigation has been carried out to examine the influence of injector design variables and operating conditions on the resultant drop size for triplet impinging streams injectors. The variables studied in this investigation are pressure drop, impinging angle, orifice length to diameter ratio, and impinging point distance. Droplet-size data are obtained using water as the propellant simulant by Malvern Particle Analyzer System. Drop size decreases with increasing impinging angle and pressure drop while other injector parameters remain constant at the same point. But it is found that there is no noticeable droplet-size change which results from change in orifice length to diameter ratio or impinging point distance within the investigated range.

Combustion stability characteristics in actual full-scale combustion chamber of a rocket engine are investigated by experimental tests with the model (sub-scale) chamber. The present hot-fire tests adopt the combustion chamber with three configurations of triplet impinging-jet injectors such as F-O-O-F, F-O-F, and O-F-O configurations. Combustion stability bound-aries are obtained and presented by the parameters of combustion-chamber pressure and mixture (oxidizer/fuel) ratio. From the experimental tests, two instability regions are observed and the pressure oscillations have the similar patterns irrespective of injector configuration. But, the O-F-O injector configuration shows broader upper-instability region than the other configurations. To verify the instability mechanism for the lower and upper instability regions, air-purge acoustic test is conducted and the photograph or the flames is taken. As a result, it is found that the pressure oscillations in the two regions can be characterized by the first impinging point of hydraulic jets and pre-blowout combustion, respectively.

The mixing of fuel and oxidizer and each mass distribution of unlike split triplet(F-O-O-F) injector for liquid rocket which are known to affect the combustion efficiency significantly, has been investigated using PLLIF technique. Experiment is conducted to investigate the effect of mixture ratio(MiR), momentum ratio(MoR) and impinging angle on mixing efficiency. The mixing efficiency, which is introduced by Rupe, gives the global chracteristic of spray mixing. Experiment far comparison with triplet injector(F-O-F), which has same momentum ratio and impinging angle with split triplet injector is conducted.

The mixing of propellant and its mass distribution of unlike-doublet impinging injector, which is known to affect the combustion efficiency significantly, have been studied using PLIF(Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence). The results show that fuel jet penetrates considerably into the oxidizer jet at impinging point as variation of momentum ratio. and then stream flows inclined because of variation of momentum ratio. Consequently, the mixing efficiency shows that maximum efficiency is at MR=3. after MR=3, mining efficiency decreases slightly.
