Atmospheric spray characteristics were experimentally compared between liquid-gas and liquid-liquid sprays of a pintle injector. In order to study spray characteristics, water and air were used as the simulants and the visualization technic was adopted. Spray images were acquired by using a backlight method by a high-resolution CMOS camera. As a result, when the pintle opening distance increased, liquid sheets became unstabled and fluttering droplets increased. In the liquid-gas case, the breakup performance increased as the pressure of gas injected from the annular orifice increased. In the liquid-liquid case, atomization efficiency decreased as the pressure of liquid injected from the annular orifice increased. Spray angles presented a similar trend between two cases. At the same momentum ratio, the spray angle of liquid-liquid case was lower than the angle of liquid-gas case.

This study was aimed to assess combustion stability for coaxial swirl injector and FOOF impinging injector which would be candidates in liquid rocket engine combustors. Simulating combustion tests under atmospheric condition have been conducted by gaseous oxygen and the mixture of methane and propane, using two actual injectors. By analyzing the measured dynamic pressure signals, we have evaluated the combustion stability margin of both injectors by drawing a stability map.

Gas injection is a technique applied to improve throttling in liquid rocket engines and atomization in effervescent injectors. When a gas is injected into a liquid, it creates a two-phase flow inside the injector. The changes (bubbly flow, slug flow, annular flow, etc.) in the two-phase flow affect the injector's spray characteristics. In this study, cold-flow tests were performed by using three injectors with different orifice diameters and four aerators with different gas injection hole diameters. The experiments were done by changing the thrust ratio (liquid mass flow rate ratio) and gas-liquid mass flow rate ratio. Two-phase flow transition, breakup length, and discharge coefficient according to the injector/aerator design and flow conditions were investigated in detail.

70 N급 액체로켓엔진에 장착되는 비충돌형 인젝터의 수류시험을 수행하였다. 추진제 분사각이 커짐에 따라 인젝터 분무의 분열 양상이 평활류(smooth jet)에서 파상류(wavy jet) 형태로 천이하고, 분무의 분열길이는 분사압력에 반비례한다. 고속카메라로 획득한 순간분무이미지(instantaneous spray image) 분석을 통하여 액주 표면에 나타나는 파상(ruffle)이 확인되었으며, 특정 분사압력 구간(0.93 MPa)에서 분무의 주기적 흘림현상이 증폭되는 이상현상이 발견되었다.

Experimental studies on determination of the supply leading time of propellants to combustion chamber have been made to stably and efficiently guarantee the ignition process with liquid rocket engine. The propellant used is a Jet A-1 as fuel and a liquid oxygen as oxidizer. Unlike impinging FOOF type of injectors are arranged radially and the designed O/F ratio is 2.34. The present experiment program also includes the stability on the quadlet type of ignitor using the triethylalumimum as an ignition source and injector life tests. Experimental results clarifies that the propellant supply through LOx leading to combustion chamber is proper for stable ignition and combustion processes based on the fuel and oxidizer manifold pressures, combustion chamber pressure, and the variation of flame length from the nozzle exit with lapse time, and shows that the leading supply time of propellants affects the engine performance little. The effect of positioning cooling holes is remarkable to protect the injector face.

초저온 추진제를 사용하는 액체로켓용 인젝터의 개발을 위해서는 단일 인젝터의 수류/연소시험을 통해 인젝터의 수력학적 특성 및 혼합, 미립화 등의 분무특성에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 대학실험실 급에서 운용할 수 있는 범위의 가압식 초저온 추진제 공급장치 및 LabVIEW를 이용한 Cyclogram 제어 및 데이터 수집장치 등을 구축하였다. 제작된 시험장치를 이용하여 스월-동축인젝터의 $LN_2-GN_2$ 초저온 수류시험 및 분무 가시화를 수행하였다. 또한 LOX-$GCH_4$ 추진제 조합의 연소시험을 위한 연소기와 추력대를 설계 및 제작하였다.

This study has been mainly motivated to numerically model the supercritical mixing and combustion processes encountered in the liquid propellant rocket engines. In the present approach, turbulence is represented by the extended k-e model. To account for the real fluid effects, the propellant mixture properties are calculated by using generalized cubic equation of state. In order to realistically represent the turbulence-chemistry interaction in the turbulent nonpremixed flames, the flamelet approach based on the real fluid flamelet library has been adopted. Based on numerical results, the detailed discussions are made for the effects of swirl number on flame structure of supercritical kerosene/LOx double swirl coaxial injector.

To improve the mixing and atomizing performance at the center region of the conventional coaxial shear injector spray, the concept of a coaxial porous injector was invented. This novel injection concept for liquid rocket engines utilizes the Taylor-Culick flow in the cylindrical porous tube. The 2-dimensional injector, which can be converted in three injection configurations, was fabricated, and several cold flow tests using water-air simulant propellant was performed. The hydraulic characteristics and the effects of a gas flow condition on the spray pattern and the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) was analyzed for each configuration. The atomizing mechanism of coaxial porous injector was different with the coaxial shear injector, and it was explained by the momentum of the gas jet, which is injected normally against the center liquid column, and by the secondary disintegration at the wavy interface of liquid jet, which was generated at the recessed region. The SMD of 2D coaxial porous injector, which has higher gas momentum, was measured and it shows better atomizing performance at the center and outer side of spray than the 2D coaxial shear injector.

산화제 매니폴드 내부유동의 물리적 특성을 파악하기 위해. CAE 기법을 이용한 수치 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 유동장의 물리적 특성을 충분히 해상해 내면서도, 유동해석의 계산비용을 절감하기 위한 방안으로 분사공에 대한 모델링 작업을 시도하였으며, 대규모 유동패턴을 정확히 예측해 내면서도 약 30%의 계산 비용의 절감을 얻을 수 있었다. 예분산판이 장착되지 않은 경우, 압력과 유량의 분포가 분사공 윗면에서 상당히 불균일하게 나타났는데, 이는 매니폴드 내에 존재하는 두 개의 대규모 유동 패턴에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

This paper presents atomization characteristics of a double impinging F -0-0- F type injector with four streams. A phase Doppler particle analyzer was employed to measure the droplet-size and water was used as the inert simulant liquid instead of reactive propellant liquids. The droplet mean diameter (SMD) and size distribution were measured to investigate the effects of the momentum ratio and pressure drop variations. This experimental results can be used during the preliminary design stage of a impinging stream type injector for liquid rockets.
