액체로켓엔진의 향후 연구 분야를 제안하였다. 가스발생기 사이클 엔진은 고압화를 통한 다운사이징, 가격경쟁력 확보가 중요 이슈가 될 것이다. 다단연소 사이클 엔진 분야에서는 초고압 터보펌프 개발과 내산화성 소재 개발이 필요할 것으로 기대된다. 로켓엔진 시스템 해석기술 분야에서는 해석 시간절감을 위한 통합화 경향이 예상된다. 이외에도 비용절감을 위한 재사용이 가능한 부스터급 메탄엔진, 3D 프린터를 활용한 제작, 내열/내산화성 소재 개발 등이 주요 연구 주제가 될 것으로 판단된다.

The present study focuses on the flow analysis of a turbopump inducer by performing both numerical and experimental methods. The head rise, efficiency and detailed flow fields such as outlet flow angles, pressure and velocity vectors are measured and compared with the computational data. Generally a good agreement is obtained between numerical and experimental results. However, some discrepancies are observed due to complex flow structures inside the inducer. Future calculations with an advanced turbulence model and a dense computational grid needs to be performed to obtain accurate numerical solution for the detailed flow fields.

The turbopump inducer cavitation is very important for the success of a liquid rocket engine. In this study, the performance test and cavitation performance test were carried out at various rotational speeds with two inducers of different diameter. The rotational speed was varied by 4000, 6000, and 8000 rpm, and the size effect was tested for the normal inducer and twice-enlarged one. The hydraulic performance results showed that the similarity was satisfied over the entire test range of the present study. The blade thickness effect was examined and showed that the increased blade thickness resulted in decreased efficiency and worse cavitation performance for the large tip clearance. The cavitation performance test results showed that the breakdown NPSH increased as the flow coefficient, and was not affected by the rotational speed.

The turbopump inducer cavitation is very important for the success of a Liquid rocket engine. In this study the performance test and cavitation performance test were carried out at various rotational speed with two different diameter inducers. The rotational speed were varied 4000, 6000, 8000 rpm and the variation to the diameter of an inducer were taken as design size and 2 times enlarged size. The major results of the present study were as follows. 1. The hydraulic performance results showed that the similarity was met over the entire test range of the present study. 2. The blade thickness effect was examined and showed that the increased blade thickness resulted in decreased efficiency and worse cavitation performance for large tip clearance. 3. The cavitation performance test results showed that the breakdown NPSH increases as the flow coefficient and does not affected by the rotational speed.

For the improvement of aerodynamic performance of the turbine blade in a turbopump for the liquid rocket engine, the optimization of turbine profile shape has been studied. The turbine in a turbopump in this study is a partial admission of impulse type, which has twelve nozzles and supersonic inflow. Due to the separated nozzles and supersonic expansion, the flow field becomes complicates and shows oblique shocks and flow separation. To increase the blade power, redesign of the blade shape using CFD and optimization method was attempted. The turbine cascade shape was represented by four design parameters. For optimization, genetic algorithm based upon non-gradient search has been selected as a optimizer. As a result, the final blade has about 4 percent more blade power than the initial shape.

Turbopump is typically an assembly of rotors and casings, and there are a number of joints between them. Every joint should be leak-proof, so there is always a seal to accomplish the goal. Among various seals, metal seals are advantageous in that they are robust at high pressure, and at wide range of temperature. On the other hand, they require very high tightening forces, so that flanges, bolts and nuts should be carefully designed to ensure structural integrity and to prevent detrimental yielding of components. In this study, flange joints using conical seals made of stainless steel, solid flat metal seals made of copper and metal C-seals made of Inconel 718 were structurally designed and analyzed, considering both initial tightening and operating conditions.

액체로켓엔진에서 연료와 산화제를 가압하는 역할을 하는 핵심부품인 터보펌프는 극저온 산화제와 구동 터빈의 고온 환경이 동일 축에 분포하고 있으며 내부 회전부 간극이 매우 작고 회전속도가 높아 기계적으로 대단히 열악한 환경에서 동작한다. 따라서 사고 위험도를 낮추기 위한 구조 해석 및 시험이 필수적인데, 본 연구에서는 특히 터보펌프 케이징의 구조해석 및 응력 측정이 이루어졌다. 기존의 단품 레벨에서의 해석에서 벗어나 연료펌프와 산화제펌프의 케이징 조립체 레벨에서 내압기밀시험 조건에 대한 구조해석이 이루어졌으며 이를 통하여 케이징 간 체결효과 및 실 부분의 접촉 압력을 성공적으로 고려할 수 있었다. 또한, 연료펌프 케이징에 나타나는 높은 수준의 응력 집중 현상을 해석과 측정을 병행함으로써 성공적으로 예측하였다.
