Most of all combustion system has combustion instability. It is a serious problem in combustion system. Unstable injection is one of the source of combustion instability. The experimental investigation of spray characteristics for simplex swirl injector were conducted experimentally. Two kerosene based fuels were chosen as the atomizing fluid. As the major operating parameters, fuel temperature and injection pressure were chosen, and varied in the range from 253 K to 293 K and from 0.2 MPa to 1.0 MPa, respectively. Direct spray images and mean diameter were measured for the various combination of operating parameters in the flow field. The results of present study show that the injection pressure and spray cone angle are fluctuated at specific conditions while it is continuous steady injection. As the fuel temperature changes continuously, spray cone angle varies discontinuously through the region of injection instability.

대형 가스터빈 연소기 구성품인 단일 압력선회식 연료분사기(Pressure swirl simplex liquid injector)를 설계, 분무특성 및 성능을 시험을 통해 평가하였다. 공급 압력 대비 분무 유량을 측정하여 설계점 기준 분무유량과 비교하였으며 섀도우그래프(Shadowgraph)를 통해 분무가시화이미지를 기록, 분무의 형상을 정성적으로 파악하고 분무각을 측정하였다. 시험 결과 동일한 공급압력 대비 측정된 분무유량은 설계점 기준 유량과 거의 일치하여 설계 및 제작의 정합성이 확인되었으며 섀도우그래프 이미지를 통해 연료분사기의 분무형상을 파악하고 설계 의도된 분무각이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 기반으로 향후 PDA(Phase Doppler Anemometry)를 통한 분무측정을 통해 보다 구체적인 연료 분사기의 분무 성능 및 특성을 파악할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

연소불안정 현상은 연소기 내에서 발생되는 열해리와 음압간의 상호 커플링에 의해 발생된다. 이 때, 음압은 인젝터에서 분무되는 추진제 유량에 섭동을 발생시키고, 섭동된 유량은 다시 연소에 영향을 주 게 된다. 따라서, 연소에 큰 영향을 미치는 인젝터를 이용하여 연소불안정 현상을 제어하기 위한 인젝터 동특성 연구가 1970년대부터 러시아에서 시작되었다. 인젝터의 동특성 연구를 위해 인위적인 압력 섭동을 주기 위한 장치를 제작하였고, 인젝터 출구에서 발생되는 유량 섭동을 측정하기 위한 기법을 개발하였다. 압력섭동 발생장치와 유량섭동 측정방법을 이용하여 압력섭동에 의해 단일 스월 인젝터 출구에서 발생되는 유량 및 압력, 액막두께, 축방향 속도 등의 섭동 값을 실시간으로 획득하였고, 이를 통해 각 변수들의 위상-진폭 특성을 파악하였다.

When the heat release and acoustic pressure fluctuations are generated in the combustor by irregular combustion, these fluctuations affect the mass flow rate of the propellants injected through the injectors. Also, the variations of the mass flow rate by these fluctuations again bring about irregular combustion and furthermore that is related with combustion instability. Therefore, it is very important to identify the mass variation for the pressure fluctuation on the injector and to investigate its transfer function. So, we first have studied quantifying the variation of mass flow rate generated in simplex swirl injector by injection pressure fluctuation. To acquire the transient mass flow rate in orifice with time, we have tried to measure of the flow axial velocity and liquid film thickness in orifice. The axial velocity is acquired through theoretical approach after measuring the pressure in orifice and the flow area in the orifice is measured by electric conductance method. As results, mass flow rate calculated by axial velocity and liquid film thickness measuring in orifice accorded with mass flow rate acquired by direct measuring method in the small error range within 1 percents in steady state and within 6 percents as average mass flow rate in pulsated state. Hence this method can be used to measure the mass flow rate not only in steady state but also in unsteady state because the mass flow rate in the orifice can acquire with time and this method shows very high accuracy based on the experimental results.

It is important to study on the combustion instability to develop liquid rocket engines for preventing lower combustion efficiency and destruction of combustion chamber. There are many researches on simplex injector with liquid pulsation to solve this problem. In real rocket engine system, however, they use coaxial injectors. Therefore, research on coaxial injector with liquid pulsation is essential. In this study, we investigate dynamic characteristics of gas centered swirl coaxial injector varying tangential inlet diameter. A mechanical pulsator was used to generate an excitation in the liquid flow, and the response characteristics of the injector were confirmed. As tangential inlet diameter increased, mass flow rates increased and spray angle decreased. As tangential inlet diamter decreased, gain decreased because the pressure fluctuation in the injector manifold rarely passed through the inlet. Additionally, it was confirmed that a sufficiently small tangential inlet served as a damper.

스월 인젝터의 비선형 동적특성을 모사할 수 있는 수치해석 모델을 개발하여 인젝터내의 정적/동적 특성을 분석하였다. Boundary Element Methods (BEMs)을 적용한 수치모델은 유체 경계면 산출에 매우 유리한 장점이 있어 표면의 불안정성 해석에 유용하게 적용되어 왔다. 이전의 연구 결과에서는 스월효과를 고려할 수 있도록 확장된 수치모델을 이용하여 인젝터의 형상을 고려한 정적특성을 보여주었다. 본 논문에서는 유입 흐름에 교란이 발생했을 때 인젝터의 각 구성요소에서의 동적응답을 분석하였고, 이론적 결과와 비교하여 수치모델에 대한 타당성을 검증하였다. 본 수치해석 결과는 입력류에서의 교란이 각 인젝터 구성품을 지나면서 감쇠/증폭되고 위상차를 만들게 되는 과정을 잘 모사하고 있다. 개발된 수치모델은 인젝터의 다양한 설계변수들이 유동특성에 미치는 효과 분석과 이론적 모델로는 예측이 어려운 비선형 영역에서의 동적 응답특성 분석에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

The Gasoline Direct Injection(GDI) system has been highlighted due to the improvement of fuel consumption and the control of exhaust emission from gasoline engines. Main purpose of the present study is to measure spray characteristics of GDSI for real engine application. We have investigated experimentally spray tip penetration, spray angle, tip velocity and spatial spray distribution. Counter-rotating vortex grown on the spray surface plays an important role in the spray characteristics. Accordingly the spray tip penetration and tip velocity do not excess 50mm, 20m/s respectively, under 0.6MPa ambient pressure. the spray cone angle of GDSI have a same tendency to a simplex swirl atomizer.

The low frequency combustion instability phenomena generated by pressure drop oscillation such as propellant shake in feed line are studied. To generate the flowrate oscillation by the pressure pulsation up to 400Hz without flow discontinuities and cavitations, a hydrodynamic mechanical pulsator of rotating disk type was produced. Injection pressure conditions are 5, 7 and 9 bar and pressure fluctuation frequency conditions are 0, 4, 6 and 8 Hz. When the injection pressure was oscillated by a mechanical pulsator, the spray shape was pulsated regularly. During the pulsated state of the spray with a mechanical pulsator, the spray characteristics, such as spray angle and liquid film thickness in orifice exit, were measured and compared with those in steady state without a mechanical pulsator. Though the mean injection pressure was fixed in the steady and fluctuating state, there were some differences in all measured values, i.e. liquid film thickness and spray cone angle, between both states.

Spray characteristics of the APU simplex fuel nozzle are investigated. Four flight conditions such as sea level idle, sea level max power, 20,000 feet idle, 20,000 feet max power are used as spray experimental conditions. Spray visualization was performed by using ND-YAG laser. Droplet size and velocity were measured by using PDPA(Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer) system. From the test result, SMD is 100 ${\mu}$m�� and velocity is 10 m/s at 20,000 ft idle condition. In this condition, flame unstability could be occurred due to the higher drop diameter. Therefore it is necessary to decrease the droplet diameter in the high altitude condition.
