Abstract

This study investigated the characteristics of spray generated by a liquid coaxial swirl injector used in a combustor of the liquid rocket engine. The linear stability analysis considered long and short wave was introduced in liquid sheet breakup. Through the hydrodynamic analysis the initial liquid sheet thickness spray angle and injection velocity were predicted. To evaluate the effect of turbulence model standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ and RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ model were applied to numerical calculation and it was known that RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was more applicable to predict spray characteristics. On the basis of this evaluation validation of the developed model was performed with swirl injector installed in LPRE and the predicted results of breakup length, spray angle, and SMD agreed well with experiments qualitatively and quantitatively.

본 연구에서는 액체 추진제 로켓엔진의 연소기에 주로 사용되는 액체 동축 스월형 분사기의 분무특성을 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하여 분무 연소장을 계산하기위하여 개발된 KIVA의 환경에 적합하도록 유도하였다. 액막의 분열에는 선형 안정성 이론을 도입하여 장파와 단파의 영역을 모두 고려할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였고 점성이 고려된 수력학적 해석을 통해 초기의 액막 두께와 분무각 및 분사 속도를 예측하였다. 또한 개발된 분무 모델에 대한 난류 모델의 적합성을 평가하여 RNC $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델이 적합함을 알았다. 이러한 모델의 평가를 바탕으로 액체로켓엔진에 장착되는 분사기에서 생산되는 분무의 특성을 실험 결과와 비교하였고, 분열 길이, 분무각 및 SMD가 정성적, 정량적으로 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
