In this study, unsteady aerodynamic analyses of a wedge-type airfoil based on nonlinear piston theory and Euler equations have been performed in supersonic and hypersonic flows. The third-order nonlinear piston theory (NPT) to calculate unsteady lift and moment coefficients is derived and applied in the time-domain. Also, unsteady flow quantities are obtained from the two-dimensional time-dependent Euler equations. For the CFD based unsteady aerodynamic analyses, an arbitrary Lagrangean-Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the Euler equations is used to calculate flow fluxes in the computational flow field with moving boundaries. Numerical comparisons for unsteady lift and moment coefficients are presented between NPT and Euler approaches. The results show very good agreements in the high supersonic and hypersonic flows. It means that the present NPT can be efficiently used to predict unsteady aerodynamic forces ol wedge type airfoils with dynamic motions in the high supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes.

Missile operating at supersonic conditions experiences considerable high temperature environments that is caused by aerodynamic heating as a result of the temperature gradient through boundary layer that surrounds it. This is one of important problems to the designer due to temperature limitation of structural materials. Because prediction of aerodynamic heating on missile needs unsteady calculation according to a flight trajectory, approximate method approach is efficient at design stage. In this paper, improved aerodynamic heating analysis scheme is introduced, which calculates heat flow and temperature by simple pressure field prediction on a missile body and fin. The prediction results are compared with measured data and MINIVER codes results.

In this study, the multidisciplinary aerodynamic-structural optimal design is carried out for the supersonic fighter wing. Through the aeroelastic analyses of the various candidate wings, the aerodynamic and structural performances are calculated such as the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient and the deformation of the wing. In general, the supersonic fighter is maneuvered under the various flight conditions and those conditions must be considered all together during the design process. The multi-point design, therefore, is deemed essential. For this purpose, supersonic dash, long cruise range and high angle of attack maneuver are selected as representative design points. Based on the calculated performances of the candidate wings, the response surfaces for the objectives and constraints are generated and the supersonic fighter wing is designed for better aerodynamic performances and less weights than the baseline. At each design point, the single-point design is performed to obtain better performances. Finally, the multi-point design is performed to improve the aerodynamic and structural performances for all design points. The optimization results of the multi-point design are compared with those of the single-point designs and analyzed in detail.

For the improvement of aerodynamic performance of the turbine blade in a turbopump for the liquid rocket engine, the optimization of turbine profile shape has been studied. The turbine in a turbopump in this study is a partial admission of impulse type, which has twelve nozzles and supersonic inflow. Due to the separated nozzles and supersonic expansion, the flow field becomes complicate and shows oblique shocks and flow separation. To increase the blade power, redesign ol the blade shape using CFD and optimization methods was attempted. The turbine cascade shape was represented by four design parameters. For optimization, a genetic algorithm based upon non-gradient search hue been selected as an optimizer. As a result, the final blade has about 4 percent more blade power than the initial shape.

The thermomechanical characteristics were evaluated for 17-4PH stainless steel widely used in supersonic airframe subjected to both aerodynamic loading and heating. The thermomechanical tests were conducted under both elevated temperature and rapid heating condition from $1^{\circ}C/sec\;to\;28^{\circ}C/sec$. The thermomechanical behaviors under rapid heating were compared with those of elevated temperature after 1/2 hour exposure in terms of yield stress to investigate the influence of heating rates. A heating rate-yield temperature parameter was suggested for rapid heating based on time-temperature parameters, and master yield stress curve was obtained by using these parameters. The experimental results and methodology from this study can be used as basic engineering data when designing supersonic vehicle structures subjected to aerodynamic loading and severe heating environment.

The design process of blended inlet body (BIB) for the preliminary design of a near-space high supersonic unmanned aerial vehicle (HSUAV) is presented. The mass flow rate and cowl area of inlet at a design point are obtained according to the cruise condition of the HSUAV. A mixed-compression axisymmetric supersonic inlet section with a fixed geometry reasonably matching the high supersonic cruise state is created by using the inviscid theory of aerodynamics. The inlet section is optimized and used as a baseline section for the BIB design. Three BIB concepts for the HSUAV are proposed, and their internal aerodynamic characteristics of inlet are evaluated using Euler computational fluid dynamics (Euler CFD) solver. The preferred concept is identified, in which the straight leading edge of the baseline HSUAV configuration is modified into the convex leading edge to accommodate the inlet and meet the requirements of the cowl area to capture the sufficient air flow. The total recovery of inlet for the preferred BIB concept and the aerodynamic characteristics of the modified HSUAV configuration are verified using Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics (NS CFD) solver. The validation indicates that the preferred BIB concept can meet both the requirements of the inlet and aerodynamic performance of the HSUAV.

Computational study has been undertaken to investigate the aerodynamic influence of side jet on a supersonic missile and to find a similarity condition between the flight condition and the wind tunnel testing. Tasks were performed to validate the existing Raytheon test body with side jet, to simulate the flow inside the supersonic wind tunnel, and to compare the flow fields between the missile in free flight and that in the wind tunnel. Then sub-scale model of body-tail configuration was analyzed to estimate the influence of the side jet on the missile components. It Is found that the influence of side Jet is not as significant on the tail region as on the body surface and a simple algebraic formula for aerodynamic coefficients accounting for the side jet as a point force may be cautiously utilized in setting up control logic.

본 연구는 공기역학적 운동에너지를 이용하여 점화장치를 구성하는데 따른 해석과 실험에 관한 연구로써 공기역학 점화기는 크게 노즐과 공명관으로 구성되어 있다. 압축가스가 노즐을 통과하여 공명관으로 유입되며, 이때 노즐과 공명관사이에 압력맥동이 발생한다. 이러한 압력맥동에 의한 운동에너지는 일정한 조건하에 공명관 내부에서 열에너지로 변화하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 음속노즐과 초음속 노즐을 두개의 각기 다른 공명관에서 실험과 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 노즐표면의 마찰손실과 공기역학 손실을 최소화하는 초음속 노즐의 최적형상을 제시하였다.

In this study, NASA test model with four cruciform fins is utilized to validate the in-house code. Sur face pressure distribution and aerodynamic coefficients are compared with experimental data. Through extensive validation work, it is verified that the code has capability to predict aerodynamic characteristics of missile configuration. In inviscid analysis through a relatively low computational time, analysis result close to experimental data can be confirmed. However, at high angle of attack more than 20 degree, the accuracy of analysis is gradually decreased due to massive separation. In addition, it has been seen that Reynolds number, turbulence model and numerical method have effects on body vortices and aerodynamic characteristics.
