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.

연료전지의 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소 중에 하나가 가스확산층과 촉매층에서 물의 거동이다. 따라서 가스확산층의 특성에 따른 유체의 거동의 변화를 이해하는 것은 연료전지의 성능개선과 가스확산층의 설계를 위한 필수적인 요소이다. 이 연구에서는 가스확산층의 설계요소인 기공도, 굴곡도와 유효확산계수를 수치적으로 계산할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 검증을 위하여 지름이 일정한 구형입자를 이용하여 기공도가 다른 다공체를 만들고 구형입자에 Bounceback 조건을 적용한 격자 볼쯔만법 유동해석을 수행하였다. 다공체 내의 유동효과를 나타내는 투과도는 다공체에 의한 압력강하와 평균유속으로 계산하고, 질량이 없는 입자의 평균 다공체 통과 거리로부터 계산한 굴곡도와 기공도를 이용하여 계산한 유효확산계수를 Neale의 이론식과 비교하여 정확하게 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 방법은 실제 다공체의 이미지를 이용한 계산에도 수정없이 이용할 수 있어 연료전지의 성능향상과 설계를 위한 가스확산층의 특성분석에 활용될 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 분위기 압력 하에서 커먼레일 디젤인젝터를 통해 분사되는 비증발 디젤 분무특성에 관한 연구이다. 디젤분무의 거시적 특성으로 분무관통거리와 분무각을 음영사진과 이미지프로세싱으로 연구하였다. 수치해석은 상용 CFD프로그램인 AVL-FIRE를 사용하였다. 분열모델은 WAVE모델을 사용하였으며 표준 $k-{\varepsilon}$난류모델을 적용하였다. 분무각과 Zeuch법을 적용한 연료 분사율을 수치해석의 입력값으로 사용하였다. 분무관통거리를 실험값과 비교하여 좋은 결과를 얻었고 수치해석을 통하여 노즐팁 하류방향으로 분무의 각 구간별 액적입경분포를 알아보았다.
