An axisymmetric simulation with detailed chemistry and fine resolution mesh is conducted for the $LOX/GH_2$ jet flame in rocket engine combustor. A preliminary result is shown for a single shear coaxial injector element. The fundamental features of the $LOX/GH_2$ coaxial jet flame is explored by the analysis of simulated flame.

For the successful development of the main engine of KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket)-III, Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) carried out the experimental study on the subscale model engines. Several types of engines were tested on the Small Liquid Rocket Engine Test Facility. One of the typical test results of a Sub. engine(Sub. Mod.3) is presented here. It uses the Jet A-1 as fuel, liquid oxygen as oxidizer, and Tri-Ethyl Aluminium(TEA1) as ignition agent. The gas pressure feed system is adopted as a feeding mechanism and the design chamber pressure is 200psia. The physical phenomena are described in three regimes(ignition, transient, and steady state) with the pressure, thrust, flowrate and image data. And the pressure oscillation is analyzed in Fourier domain (<500Hz). Then we conclude that in this experiment, the engine shows the characteristic low frequency of 80Hz and it is stable for that frequency of pressure oscillation.

It is definitely required to control dispersion of the rocket engine performance in order to accomplish the mission of a launch vehicle successfully. A performance dispersion analysis was conducted for a gas generator cycle liquid rocket engine and the required pressure drops were estimated for engine tunning. As a result, the vacuum thrust dispersion of the engine was from +9.1% to -8.7% and the mixture ratio deviated from +9.7% to -9.6% from the nominal value due to the errors of components and the engine inlet condition of propellants. The required pressure drop in the LOx line to the combustor is higher than in the fuel line for same mixture ratio change.

A performance analysis program has been developed for the gas generator cycle liquid rocket engine. This program predicts the system performance with the performances of subsystems which are evaluated by the models based on another analyses or experiments. The analysis method has been validated by comparing the engine performance against the published conceptual design. The performance models of the subsystems have been verified to give reasonable results by comparing with the MC-1 engine design and the system analysis of 10 ton thrust engine. The system performance of the 30 ton thrust rocket engine using LOx/Jet-A1 has been presented as an application example.

A sensitivity analysis of the liquid rocket engine has been made. A mode analysis program is used to predict the performance change due to the variation of rocket engine operating environment. The propellant supply pressure and density are the major variables of the operating condition. The material properties of the turbine driving gas is assumed as the function of mixture ratio. The discrepancies of performance change between constant turbine driving gas properties and variable properties are greater for the case of fuel pump inlet pressure change than the oxidizer pump inlet pressure change.

The analysis has been performed on the blockage effect at the propellant flow passage in a liquid rocket engine. This simulates an example of emergency situation where flow passage is partially blocked. The analysis method has been validated by predicting the pump head and flow rate within 1% precision against the measured data of turbopump-gas generator coupled test. When the oxidizer passage is reduced it is predicted that the mixture ratio decreases, the oxidizer pump head increases and the gas generator pressure increases. When the fuel passage is reduced it is predicted that the mixture ratio increases, fuel flow rate decreases and the fuel pump head increases.

The gas-generator open cycle is adapted for liquid rocket engine of Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II. The combustion instability can interfere with combustion performance and cause a noise and vibration or carry the potential for serious damage. This study introduces the experience cases of combustion instability in development of the gas generator for liquid rocket engine.

The liquid rocket engine determines the routing of the component placement and layout by adapted the cycle method, the hardware configuration, the gimbal type on the functional implementation, and so on. In this paper, the conceptual routing of major pneumatic lines such as helium (He) supply pneumatic line for driving, many purge pneumatic line and main ignition line based on the main components installed in the liquid rocket engine was performed.
