The knowledge of flame structure is essential for control of combustion instability phenomena. Some results of an experimental study on mechanism of naturally occurring combustion oscillations with a single dominant frequency are presented. Tests were conducted in a laboratory-scale dump combustor at atmospheric pressure. Sound level meter was used to track the pressure wave inside the combustor. The observed instability was a longitudinal mode with a frequency of $\sim341.8Hz$. Instability map was obtained at the condition of inlet temperature of $360^{\circ}C$, mean velocities of $8.5\sim10.8m/s$ and well premixed mixture. It showed that combustion instability was susceptible to occur in the lean conditions. In this study, unstable flame was observed from stoichiometric to 0.7 in overall equivalence ratio. At selected unstable conditions, phase-resolved OH chemiluminescence images were captured to investigate flame structure with various mean velocities. As mean velocity is increased, the flame grows and global heat release was changed. Due to these effects, combustion instability can be maintained at more lean air-fuel ratio. Also, these results give an insight to the controlling mechanism for an increasing heat release at maximum pressure.

It follows from the basic principles of mechanics of deformable solids relating to the strength, stability and propagation of elastic waves that the Earth's inner core cannot exist in the form of a spherical structure in the assumed thermobaric conditions and calculation values of physico-mechanical parameters. Pressure level reaches a value that is significantly greater than the theoretical limit of medium strength in the model approximations at the surface of the sphere of the inner core. On the other hand, equilibrium state of the sphere is unstable on the geometric forming at much lower loads under the influence of the "dead" surface loads. In case of the action of "follower" loads, the assumed pressure value on the surface of the sphere is comparable with the value of the critical load of "internal" instability. In these cases, due to the instability of the equilibrium state, propagation of homogeneous deformations becomes uneven in the sphere. Moreover, the elastic waves with actual velocity cannot propagate in such conditions in solid medium. Violation of these fundamental conditions of mechanics required in determining the physical and mechanical properties of the medium should be taken into account in the integrated interpretations of seismic and laboratory (experimental) data. In this case, application of the linear theory of elasticity and elastic waves does not ensure the reliability of results on the structure and composition of the Earth's core despite compliance with the required integral conditions on the mass, moment of inertia and natural oscillations of the Earth.

A Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the flow in an inducer is carried out under flow rate oscillations. The present study focuses on the dynamic response of the backflow and the unsteady pressure performance to the flow rate fluctuations under non-cavitation conditions. The amplitude of angular momentum fluctuation evaluated by LES is larger than that evaluated by RANS. However, the phase delay of backflow is nearly the same as RANS calculation. The pressure performance curve exhibits a closed curve caused by the inertia effect associated with the flow rate fluctuations. Compared with simplified one dimensional evaluation of the inertia component, the component obtained by LES is smaller. The negative slope of averaged performance curve becomes larger under unsteady conditions. From the conservations of angular momentum and energy, an expression useful for the evaluation of unsteady pressure rise was obtained. The examination of each term of this expression show that the apparent decrease of inertia effects is caused by the response delay of Euler's head and that the increase of negative slope is caused by the delay of inertial term associated with the delay of backflow response. These results are qualitatively confirmed by experiments.

The effects of swirl chamber's diameter and length on injector's dynamic characteristics were investigated through an experimental study. A mechanical pulsator was installed in front of the manifold of a swirl injector which produces pressure oscillations in the feed line. Pressure in the manifold, liquid film thickness in the orifice and the pressure in the orifice were measured in order to understand the dynamic characteristic of the simplex swirl injector with varying geometry. A direct pressure measuring method (DPMM) was used to calculate the axial velocity of the propellant in the orifice and the mass flow rate through the orifice. These measured and calculated values were analyzed to observe the amplitude and phase differences between the input value in the manifold and the output values in the orifice. As a result, a phase-amplitude diagram was obtained which exhibits the injector's response to certain pressure fluctuation inputs. The mass flow rate was calculated by the DPMM and measured directly through the actual injection. The effect of mean manifold pressure change was insignificant with the frequency range of manifold pressure oscillation used in this experiment. Mass flow rate was measured with the variation of injector's geometries and amplitude of the mass flow rate was observed with geometry and pulsation frequency variation. It was confirmed that the swirl chamber diameter and length affect an injector's dynamic characteristics. Furthermore, the direction of geometry change for achieving dynamic stability in the injector was suggested.

액체로켓엔진의 연소 안정성 평가를 위한 압력 교란 장치인 펄스건은 내재된 화약 폭발시 충격파를 유도관을 통해 엔진 연소기 내부로 전달 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 펄스건 특성에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자 중 화약 충진량에 의한 충격파 특성 파악을 위해 KSR-III 주 엔진과 같은 직경 크기를 갖는 모사 챕버를 이용하였다. 펄스건 출구에서 발생하는 충격파는 축대칭의 균일한 형상의 세기를 지니고 있으며 전체적인 세기 분포는 챔버 내의 압력에 따라 변화함을 확인하였다. 펄스건의 충격파는 상온 상태 조건에서 챔버내의 공명 주파수를 가진하는 것으로 보아 실제 연소장에서도 충분한 압력 교란을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 가장 중요한 점은 펄스건에 의해 발생하는 초기 압력 최대 값이 화약 충진량의 크기에 비례하는 경향을 보인다는 것이다.

Spatially rotating magnetic fields have been observed in the solar wind and in the Earth's magnetopause as well as in reversed field pinch (RFP) devices. Such field configurations have a similarity with extended current layers having a spatially varying plasma pressure instead of the spatially varying guide field. It is thus expected that magnetic reconnection may take place in a rotating magnetic field no less than in an extended current layer. We have investigated the spontaneous evolution of a collisionless plasma system embedding a rotating magnetic field with a two-and-a-half-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. In magnetohydrodynamics, magnetic flux can be decreased by diffusion in O-lines. In kinetic physics, however, an asymmetry of the velocity distribution function can generate new magnetic flux near O- and X-lines, hence a dynamo effect. We have found that a magnetic-flux-reducing diffusion phase and a magnetic-flux-increasing dynamo phase are alternating with a certain period. The temperature of the system also varies with the same period, showing a similarity to sawtooth oscillations in tokamaks. We have shown that a modified theory of sawtooth oscillations can explain the periodic behavior observed in the simulation. A strong guide field distorts the current layer as was observed in laboratory experiments. This distortion is smoothed out as magnetic islands fade away by the O-line diffusion, but is soon strengthened by the growth of magnetic islands. These processes are all repeating with a fixed period. Our results suggest that a rotating magnetic field configuration continuously undergoes deformation and relaxation in a short time-scale although it might look rather steady in a long-term view.

연소불안정현상은 주로 음향파와 열방출률 섭동간의 상호작용에 의해 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 현상은 헬름홀츠 공진기와 같은 수동제어기를 사용하여 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러나 헬름홀츠 공진기는 일반적으로 좁은 주파수대역에 대해서만 효과가 있는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 작동 범위에서 효과를 가질 수 있도록 피스톤을 사용하여 헬름홀츠 공진기의 부피를 변화시켜가며 연소불안정현상에 적용하였다. 그 결과 피스톤을 최적 위치인 40mm에 동조시킴으로써 연소 불안정 모드의 진폭을 크게 감소시킬 수 있었다. 그리고, 연소기와 헬름홀츠 공진기 사이의 동압의 위상차가 흥미로운 관계에 있음을 나타내었다. 또한 헬름홀츠 공진식과 위상차를 이용한 능동적으로 동조되는 수동제어방식에 대해 알아보았다.

하이브리드 로켓에서 고주파수 대역의 압력진동(p')과 열 방출 진동(q')이 양의 결합이 저주파수 연소불안정 발생에 필수조건임을 검증하기 위한 실험연구를 수행하였다. 후연소실 길이와 연소 당량비를 변수로 설정하여 p' 진폭과 p', q'의 위상차를 조절하였으며 저주파수 연소불안정의 억제 여부를 판단하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면, 후연소실 길이가 증가하여도 p', q'의 위상차는 ${\pi}/2$ 이하로 연소불안정 발생조건을 유지하지만 p', q'의 결합강도인 RI(Rayleigh index)의 주기적 증폭이 약화되면서 연소불안정이 억제됐다. 또한 특정한 당량비에서 연소불안정이 발생하므로 순간 당량비를 변화시켜 p', q'의 결합을 음의 결합으로 천이시켜 연소 안정화가 이루어짐을 확인하였다. 따라서 고주파수 p', q'이 양의 결합과 RI의 주기적인 증폭으로 연결될 때 저주파수 연소불안정이 나타나는 발생 메커니즘의 중간 경로도 확인하였다.

In this paper, a 4-wheel vehicle model including the effects of tire slip was considered, along with variable parameter sliding control, in order to improve the performance of the vehicle longitudinal response. The variable sliding parameter is made to be proportional to the square root of the pressure derivative at the wheel, in order to compensate for large pressure changes in the brake cylinder. A typical tire force-relative slip curve for dry road conditions was used to generate an analytical tire force-relative slip function, and an antilock sliding control process based on the analytical tire force-relative slip function was used. A retrofitted brake system, with the pushrod force as the end control parameter, was employed, and an average decay function was used to suppress the simulation oscillations. The simulation results indicate that the velocity and spacing errors were slightly larger than those obtained when the wheel slip effect was not considered, that the spacing errors of the lead and follower were insensitive to the adhesion coefficient up to the critical wheel slip value, and that the limit for the antilock control under non-constant adhesion road conditions was determined by the minimum value of the equivalent adhesion coefficient.
