차세대 제트 추진기관으로 주목받고 있는 스크램제트 엔진의 핵심은 연소기 내부에서의 성공적인 초음속 연소를 필요로 한다. 초음속 연소는 공기-연료 혼합(fuel-air mixing)의 정도에 따라 연소효율이 영향을 받게 된다. 공동형 화염 보염기(cavity flameholder)는 재순환 영역(recirculation zone)을 생성하여 연료 혼합의 효율을 높여 지속적인 초음속 연소가 진행될 수 있는 시간을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON 전산유체역학 소프트웨어를 이용하여 공동형 화염 보염기를 지나는 초음속 유동의 재순환 영역과 전압력 변화에 대한 전산 해석을 수행하였다. 초기 형상을 생성하여 유동 해석을 수행한 후, 3개의 형상 변수에 대한 매개 변수 연구를 통하여 공동의 형상과 위치에 따른 재순환영역의 제어가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Dual throat nozzle(DTN) is recently attracting much attention as a new concept of the thrust vectoring technique. This DTN is designed with two throats, an upstream minimum and a downstream minimum at the nozzle exit, with a cavity in between the upstream throat and exit. In the present study, a computational work has been carried out to analyze a fundamental performance of a dual throat nozzle(DTN) at various nozzle pressure ratios(NPR) and throat area ratios. Two-dimensional, axisymmetric, steady, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a fully implicit finite volume scheme. NPR was varied in the range of NPR from 2.0 to 10.0, at different throat area ratios. The present computational results were validated with some experimental data available. Based upon the present results, the performance of DTN is discussed in terms of the discharge coefficient and thrust efficiency.

In order to control the transonic flow field with a shock wave, a condensing flow was produced by an expansion of moist air on a circular bump model and shock waves were occurred in the supersonic parts of the fields. Furthermore, the additional passive technique of shock-boundary layer interaction using the porous wall with a cavity underneath was adopted in this flow field. The effects of these methods on the shock wave characteristics were investigated numerically. The result showed that the flow fields might be effectively controlled by the suitable combination between non-equilibrium condensation and the position of porous wall.

A non-reacting experimental study on a normal injection into a Mach 1.92 crossflow which flows over various geometries(flat plate, small cavity, large cavity) was carried out to investigate the effect of the momentum flux ratio(J). The aft ramp of the cavity advances the increase of the penetration height and the strong two-dimensional shock from recompression region mainly affects the shock structure and mixing layer at the downstream flow. As flow runs downward, the transverse penetration height increases with increasing J(J = 0.9, 1.7, 3.4). However, above some critical ratio, jet penetration height growth with increasing J is not appeared in flow-field. Large scale cavity has a good mixing efficiency but it increases the drag loss in the combustor.

This paper describes numerical efforts to characterize the flame-holding and air-fuel mixing process of model SCRamjet engine combustor, where a hydrogen jet injected into a supersonic cross flow and in a cavity Combustion phenomena in a model SCRamjet engine, which has been experimentally studied at University of Queensland and Australian National University using a free-piston shock tunnel, was observed around separation region of upstream of the normal injector and inside of cavity. The results show that the separation region and cavity generates several recirculation zones, which increase the fuel-air mixing. Self ignition occurs in the separation-freestream and cavity-freestream interface.

Sparkjet actuator, also known as plasma synthetic jet actuator, which is a kind of active flow control actuator is considered as being high possibility for the supersonic flow control due to ejecting stronger jet compared to the other active flow control actuators. Sparkjet actuator generates high temperature and high pressure flow inside the cavity by using arc plasma and leads momentum by ejecting such flow through orifice or nozzle. In this research, numerical calculation of sparkjet actuator with respect to the location of electrodes which exists inside the cavity is conducted and the change of the performance of sparkjet actuator is suggested. As the location of electrodes goes closer to the bottom of the cavity, impulse is increased and the average pressure inside the cavity maintains higher. When the location of electrode is 25% and 75% of the entire cavity height, impulse is 2.515 μN·s and 2.057 μN·s, respectively. Each impulse is changed by about 9.92% and -10.09% compared to when the location of electrodes is 50% of the entire cavity height.

Time marching algorithms applied to compressible Navier-Stokes equation have a convergence problem at low Mach number. It is mainly due to the eigenvalue stiffness and pressure singularity as Mach number approaches to zero. Among the several methods to overcome the shortcomings of time marching scheme, time derivative preconditioning method have been used successfully. In this numerical analysis, we adopted a preconditioner of K.H. Chen and developed a two-dimensional, axisymmetric Navier-Stokes program. The steady state driven cavity flow and backward facing step flow problems were computed to confirm the accuracy and the robustness of preconditioned algorithm for low Mach number flows. And the transonic and supersonic flows insice the JPL axisymmetric nozzle internal flow is exampled to investigate the effects of preconditioning at high Mach number flow regime. Test results showed excellent agreement with the experimental data.

High-speed ejection of burnt gases from the resonator cavity is essential for performance optimization of the chemical laser system. Additionally, to maintain the population of lasing species at a level for maximum optical power, the pressure within the cavity must be of order of 10 torr. In the present study, a small-scale ejector was designed and built for parametric study of its performance. High-pressure air was used as a motive gas. Measurements include schlieren visualization and pressure distribution trace near the ejector nozzle and along the diffuser downstream of the ejector. preliminary tests showed performance of the ejector is a function of parameters including mass flow rate and stagnation pressure of the motive gas, ejector nozzle area ratio, throat area of the diffuser downstream of the ejector.

In this paper, non-reacting and reacting flowfields were computed using a preconditioned Navier-Stokes solver. The preconditioning technique of Merkle et al. and TVD scheme or Chakravarthy and Osher was employed and the results obtained using developed code have a good agreement with the previous results and experimental data. The preconditioned Wavier-Stokes equation set with low Reynolds number $\kappa-\epsilon$ equation and species continuity equations, are discretized with strongly implicit manner and time integrated with LU-SSOR scheme. For the purpose of treating unsteady problem the duel-time stepping scheme was employed. For the validation of the code in incompressible flow regime, steady driven square cavity flow was considered and calculation result shows reasonably good agreement with the result of incompressible code. Shock wave/boundary layer interaction problem was considered to show the shock capturing performance of preconditioned-TVD scheme. To validate unsteady flow, acoustic oscillation problem was calculated, and supersonic premix flame of $H_2$-air reaction problem which is calculated with turbulence model, 9-species/18-reaction step reaction model, shows reasonable agreement with the previous results. As a result, the preconditioning method has an advantage to calculate incompressible and compressible flow through one code and preconditioned solver easily developed from standard compressible code with minor efforts. But additional computational time and computer memory is required due to preconditioning matrix.
