  • Laminar lifted methane jet flame diluted with nitrogen and helium in co-flow air has been investigated experimentally. This paper examines the role of chemistry, intermediate species responsible for stabilization of lifted flame. To elucidate the stabilization mechanism in lifted methane jet flames with Sc<1, the chemiluminescence intensities of $CH^*$ and $OH^*$ were measured using ICCD camera at various nozzle exit velocities and fuel mole fractions. It has been observed that the $OH^*$ species can play an important role in stabilization of lifted methane jet flame as they are good indicators of heat release rate which can affect on flame speed and increase stability through reduction in ignition delay time.

  • Jet Propulsion Laboratory has traditionally performed system level vibration testing of flight spacecraft. There have been many discussions in the aerospace community for more than a decade about spacecraft vibration testing benefits or lack thereof. The benefits and potential issues of fully assembled flight spacecraft vibration testing are discussed herein. The following specific topics are discussed: spacecraft screening test to uncover workmanship problems for launch dynamics environments, force- and moment-limited vibration testing, potential issues with structural frequency identification using base shake test data, and failures related to vibration shaker testing and ways to prevent them.

  • 로켓의 추진제에는 고체 추진제와 액체 추진제를 사용하는 두 경우로 나눌 수 있는데, 액체 추진제를 사용하는 경우, 액체 연료와 액체 산화제를 다양한 방법으로 연소실내로 분사하게 된다. 이때 사용되는 injector들 중에 impingement type이 있다. 이 type은 injector의 가공이 비교적 용이하고, 혼합성능이 좋기 때문에 LOX/RP-1(Kerosin-based hydrocarbon fuel)을 사용하는 액체 로켓엔진에서 주로 사용되어 왔다. 두 액체 jet의 충돌에 의해 액막이 형성되는데, 이 액막은 가장자리로 갈수록 두께가 얇아지며 액막표면의 파는 충돌점으로부터 멀어질수록 그 진폭의 증가를 이루어 액체의 표면장력과 관성력의 균형을 깨트리며, 이 순간 액막은 rim의 형태로 분열하여 결국에는 액적을 생성하게 된다. 현재까지의 연구내용은 충돌 jet의 형태 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분된 인젝트에 관해 연구되어왔고, 특히 국내에는 이러한 구분된 충돌 jet의 분열현상에 관한 연구결과가 미흡하다. 동일한 오르피스의 경우에도 laminar jet과 turbulent jet으로 구분되어 지며, 각각의 jet의 형태에 따라 생성되는 액막의 형상 또는 다르게 생성되어 진다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 두 구분된 jet의 경우의 분열현상을 실험적으로 분석하였다.

  • A computational study on the supersonic flow around the lateral jet controlled missile has been performed. Case studies have been performed by comparing the normal force coefficient and the moment coefficient of a missile body for several different jet flow conditions, angle of attacks, circumferential jet locations, and spouting jet angles. For the several different jet flow conditions, which include the jet pressure, the jet Mach number, and the corresponding jet mass flow rate, the results show that the normal force coefficient is almost proportional to the jet thrust but the moment coefficient is not. Distinctly different flow phenomena can be noticed as the pressure ratio and the jet Mach number increase. By investigating the angle of attack effect to the normal force and the pitching moment, it has been identified that the normal force and the pitching moment show nonlinearity with respect to the angle of attack. From the detailed flow field analyses with respect to the jet flow conditions and the angle of attacks, it is verified that most of the normal force loss and the pitching moment generation are taken place at the low-pressure region behind the jet nozzle. Furthermore, the normal force and the pitching moment characteristics of the missile have been identified by comparing different circumferential jet locations and spouting jet angles.

  • This study is on the development of 150PS inboard type of compact water jet propulsion system. The water jet is composed of intake, impeller, diffuser, reverse bucket and main shaft. Components of water jet have been manufactured through precision processing after sand casting. Development of water jet propelled engine has been finally completed by processes which are design, production and inspection on each component. The water jet performance characteristics show that 0.29 m3/s of maximum flow rate and 37 m/s of flow velocity have been secured in the ground test pool. Field test was performed by 21ft test ship that water jet propulsion equipment developed in this study was installed. As a result, the weight of hull, engine and other parts of the ship has been almost 1.2 ton and 45 km/h of maximum sailing speed has been recorded with 3700 rpm of engine in the domestic coast test.

Propulsion system that has ring-type steam injector was manufactured and performance estimation of system was performed with different nozzle exit area. Performance evaluation with central steam injection type jet engine will be progressed in the future.

  • The spray characteristics of jet in crossflow (JICF) to improve the atomization and mixing characteristics of liquid Jet, while minimizing the impact on crossflow, were studied experimentally. By varying the temperature, velocity, pressure of crossflow and the speed, pressure of liquid Jet, the spray boundary (outer boundary, inner boundary) with the change of crossflow and liquid jet momentum ratio (q) were measured and led the experimental formula, compared with the results of previous work. Specifically, when the jet penetration with the shape of injector were measured, in the case of dual orifice Injector, under the influence of front orifice, the jet penetration of back orifice was improved approximately 18% ($L_h$ = 4 mm), compared with single orifice injector.

  • The mode transition from cone-jet to dripping in colloid thruster operation has been analytically investigated. The transition has been predicted by the dynamic behavior of a liquid drop at the tip of the cone-jet. Conservation laws are applied to determine the upward motion of the drop, and an instability model of electrified jets is used to determine the jet breakup. Finally, for the first time, the analysis enables prediction of the transition in terms of the Weber number and electric Bond number. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.
