The effectiveness of a pogo suppression device (PSD) on the response of piping system simulating the propellant supply lines of the rocket engines was investigated experimentally by other researchers. In this study, the simplified analytical model was made, and the key parameters which are difficult to derive theoretically were identified in combination with the previous experimental work. In other words, the flow transient equations for a PSD system and the key parameters used to decide the instability of the system from the linearized transfer function including inertance, compliance, and resistance were derived. From the analysis, the values of key parameters could be determined from the experimental results.

In this article, a mathematical modeling which is composed of linearized transfer functions on POGO suppression device was executed. The main parameters of PSD model can not be easily determined from the analysis due to the nonlinearity of the parameters. This article deals a method to get the values of the main parameters from the experimental results.

To reduce the possibility of longitudinal dynamic instability, called "POGO", in the liquid rocket system due to the feedback effect of a main structure and a fuel-feeding system, several different types of PSD(POGO Suppression Device) systems have been studied. In the present study, several different types of PSD were reviewed. Basically, all PSD systems can be categorized into two groups; a passive PSD or an active PSD. We can classify the passive PSD's into more detailed groups according to their compliance methods; localized compliance methods or distributed compliance methods. As a result of our intensive review on various PSD's, the gas-filled accumulator with a level control system is considered to be the most suitable one to suppress the POGO instability without mal-effects to the performance of a fuel-feeding system.ng system.

Cryogenic helium gas is used as the pressurant for the oxidizer pressurization of DR(Damper Receiver) sphere in the PSD(Pogo Suppression Device) system and liquid oxygen is used as the oxidizer for the propellant in Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II. The helium gas is stored in pressurant cylinders inside the cryogenic liquid oxygen tank and liquid oxygen is stored in the oxidizer tank. In this study, the performance test of PSD liquid oxygen drain valve for KSLV-II was considered.

The present study deals with the experimental facility for PSD (POGO Suppression Device) performance test systems. Basically there are two methods to pulsate the system; whole-feeding-system pulsation and working-fluid pulsation. The latter method adopts either a piston-type pulsator or a restrict-type pulsator. The working-fluid pulsation using a restrict-type pulsator was considered to be the most appropriate experimental system to study the effects of the primary parameters, and a practical design of the system was proposed. Also, the experimental facility adopts the ball valve type pulsator considering the leak problem of the plate type pulsator.

It was reviewed about the pressure oscillation on the inlet of turbo-pump at the moment of engine startup and shutdown. Specially, This research was performed how much is the effect of PSD(Pogo Suppression Device) about the pressure oscillation on the inlet of turbo-pump at the moment of engine startup and shutdown. For analysis, propellant tank PSD and Engine are modelled with Flowmaster which is the commercial 1D program. As the analysis results, even though the PSD is installed in the pipeline, the pressure drop or rising at the moment of engine startup and shutdown is same compared to the case without PSD. However, it was confirmed that PSD reduces the pressure oscillation of the high frequency band as the original purpose of PSD.

The effectiveness of the pogo suppression device (PSD) installed at the piping system simulating the fuel supply lines of the rocket engines was investigated. The system response defined as the ratio of the flow rate to the pressure in the main tube was obtained for various PSD gas volumes $(0,\;0.5,\;1,\;2\times10^{-6}\;m^3)$. Existence of a gas volume in the PSD reduced the system resonance frequency. With a larger gas volume, the resonance frequency became lower, but only slightly, though the fluctuations of the main tube pressure and the flow rate damped down considerably

The effectiveness of the pogo suppression device (PSD) on the response of the piping system simulating the fuel (or oxidizer) supply lines of the rocket engines was investigated. The system response defined as the ratio of the flow rate to the pressure in the main tube was obtained for various PSD gas volumes $((0\~2)\times10^{-3}m^3)$ and three different baffle hole diameters (5, 50, 115mm). Existence of a gas volume in the PSD reduced the system resonance frequency. With a larger gas volume, the resonance frequency became lower, but only slightly, while the fluctuations of the main tube pressure and the flow rate damped down considerably. The resonance frequency decreased with the increase of the PSD inlet restriction (or the decrease of the baffle hole diameter), though slightly. However, with a larger inlet restriction, the PSD pressure wave showed a delayed response with the smaller amplitude compared to the pressure variation in the main tube.
