The effects of design parameters of supersonic ejector system under the assumption of constant pressure mixing were performed. Design parameters were mass flow rate ratio, area ratio between primary and secondary flow, and primary Mach number. 1-D theoretical performance of ejector in terms of pressure ratio and contraction ratio with and without loss mechanism such as diffuser efficiency and friction were considered.

현대에 이르러 초음속 운영 영역에서의 항공기에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 음속 폭음 현상과 충격파 현상에서 야기된 높은 항력 및 연료 효율성 저하로 인하여 그 한계에 부딪치고 있다. Busemann 복엽 익형은 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 형상이며, 상하 형상에 의한 파동 상쇄효과 및 파동 감소효과를 통해 충격파의 강도와 음속 폭음 효과를 감소시키는 형상이다. 하지만 본 익형은 탈설계 조건에서 항력 계수가 급격하게 증가하는 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON_CFD를 이용하여 Busemann 복엽 익형의 주변 유동 특성에 대하여 면밀한 고찰을 수행하였다. 우선 Busemann 복엽 익형의 초기 형상에 대한 유동 조건별 해석을 통하여 탈설계 조건에서의 항력 성능 저하 문제에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 이후 3개의 형상 변수에 대한 매개 변수 연구를 통하여 익형의 각 형상 변수가 탈설계 영역 및 해당 영역에서의 최대 항력 계수에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 기존 형상보다 좁은 탈설계 구간을 가지고, 최대 항력 계수가 약 34.8% 감소한 부스만 복엽 익형을 설계하였다.

A methodology of design performance estimation for the supersonic impulse turbine was investigated. Relations of similarity condition and test nozzle area ratio were derived. Comparison of efficiencies between the turbines with real nozzle and test nozzle are made numerically and experimentally. The CFD results and test result confirmed that the turbine with test nozzle was able to predict real turbine performance. In addition, design performance of the supersonic impulse turbine also could be estimated using real nozzle in air-medium test. In this case, design efficiency was found at the pressure-ratio and velocity-ratio of similarity condition of test nozzle.

In this paper, the shock angle and effect had been compared with numerical data within supersonic area at an forebody such as missiles or an aircraft. By using supersonic wind tunnel in Seoul National University, The shock position and magnitude were measured in the model of cone shape according to mach number. The experiment had been conducted at mach number 2.0, 3.0, and 3.8. As a result, the shock position and magnitude are different from flow velocity, AOA, and AOS in some cases blockage effect had occurred.

Supersonic inlet buzz can be defined as unstable subcritical operation associated with fluctuating internal pressures and a shock pattern oscillating about the inlet entrance. The flow pulsations could result in flameout in the combustor or even structural damage to the engine. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the phenomenon of supersonic inlet buzz on axisymmetric, external-compression inlet. An inlet model with a cowl lip diameter of 30mm was tested at a free stream Mach number of 2.0. Subcritical instability was investigated by considering the frequency of pressure pulsation and shock wave structure at the inlet entrance. The results obtained show that total pressure recovery ratios were varied from 0.42 to 0.78, and capture area ratio from 0.34 to 0.98. The frequency of the subcritical flow increased with decrease in capture area ratios. Frequency was measured at $224{\sim}240Hz$.

The effects of vortex generators, in the form of small delta-shaped tabs or thin tapes at an axi-symmetric supersonic nozzle exit, on the characteristics of supersonic jet flowfields are investigated by Schlieren images and Pitot-tube measurements. Small tabs as small as 1 % of the nozzle exit area can introduce streamwise vortices and produce a significant effect on the jet flowfield downstream of the nozzle. The effect is stronger for the cases of under-expanded jet than over- and perfect-expanded cases, introducing a larger flow entrainment. The effects of the angle of tabs with respect to the flow direction are also investigated, and for over-expanded jet cases, it is found that the tabs bended toward upstream can weaken the interaction strength and remove the Mach disc in the jet flowfield. Introduction of small proturbances inside the nozzle surface by attachment of thin tapes is also found to change the pressure distribution in the circumferential direction of the flowfield. Its effect is also found to be dependent on the jet expansion ratio.

Supersonic/Hypersonic wind tunnel is a facility which is intended to test and to observe the physical phenomena around a model by creating supersonic flow in the test section. In designing an airplane, the wind tunnel test is demanded to analyzing aerodynamic characteristics of the model without making a prototype. In this research, the model aerodynamic facility(MAF) is modified for the purpose of increasing running time and its functionality. New pneumatic valves for remote control was installed for safety requirement, and new air tanks was installed on MAF as well. A pipe system is also modified to use those new valves and tanks, and the ceiling and side glasses of the test section are switched to ones with the larger surface area. After the MAF modification, a test is performed at Mach 2, 3 and 4. In this test, shadow graph technique, one of the flow visualization methods, is used to visualize supersonic flow field. The pressure in the settling chamber and working section at Mach 2, 3 and 4 was measured in each case. As a result, the possible model size and running time are obtained.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the noise propagating characteristics, the noise reduction mechanism and the performance of a slotted tube attached at the exit plane of a circular convergent nozzle. The experiment is performed through the systematic change of the jet pressure ratio and the slot length under the condition of two kinds of open area ratios, 25% and 51%. The open area ratio calculated by the tube length equivalent for the slot length is defined as the ratio of the total slot area to the surface area of a slotted tube. The experimental results for the near and far field sound, the visualization of jet structures and the static pressure distributions in the jet passing through a slotted tube are presented and explained in comparison with those for a simple tube. The propagating characteristics of supersonic jet noises from the slotted tube is closely connected with the slot length rather than the open area ratio, and its propagating pattern is similar to the simple tube. It is shown that the slotted tube has a good performance to suppress the shock-associated noise as well as the turbulent mixing noise in the range of a limited jet pressure and slot dimension. The considerable suppression of the shock‘associated noise is mainly due to the pressure relief caused by the high-speed jets passing through the slots on the tube. Both the strength of shock waves and the interval between them in a jet plume are decreased by the pressure relief. Moreover, the pressure relief is divided into the gradual and the sudden relief depending upon the open area ratio of the slotted tube. Consequently, the shock waves in a jet plume are also changed by the type of pressure relief. The gradual pressure relief caused by the slotted tube with the open area ratio 25% generates the weak oblique shock waves. On the contrary, the weak normal shock waves appear due to the sudden pressure relief caused by the slotted tube with the open area ratio 51%.

When a secondary gaseous flow is injected vertically into a supersonic flow through circular nozzle, a complicated structure of flow field is produced around the injection area. The interaction between the two streams produces a strong bow shock wane on the upstream side of the side-jet. The results show that bow shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction induces the boundary layer separation in front of the side-jet. This study is to analyze the structure of flow fields and distribution of surface pressure on the flat plate according to total pressure ratio using a supersonic cold-flow system and also to study the control force of affected side-jet. The nozzle of main flow was designed to have Mach 2.88 at the exit. The injector has a sonic nozzle with 4mm diameter at the exit of the side-jet. In experiments, The oil flow visualization using a silicone oil and ink was conducted in order to analyze the structure of flow fields around the side-jet. The flow fields are visualized using the schlieren method. In this study, a computational fluid dynamic solution is also compared with experimental results.
