Abstract

Shock tunnels are known to be capable of simulating flow-field environments of supersonic and hypersonic flights. They have been operated successfully world-wide for almost half a century. As a consequence of the strong interest in hypersonic vehicles in Korea, attention has been given on this type of facility and so an intermediate-sized shock tunnel has lately been built at KAIST. In the light of this, this paper presents our tunnel performance and some of the model scramjet test data. The freestream flow used in this work replicates a supersonic combustor environment for a Mach 5.7 flight speed.

충격파 터널은 초음속 및 극초음속 비행조건의 유동장을 지상에서 가장 유사하게 모사할 수 있는 시험설비로서, 거의 반세기 동안 전 세계적으로 유용하게 운용되고 있다. 국내의 극초음속 비행체에 대한 많은 관심의 결과로 충격파 시험장치에 대해 주목하고 있으며, 최근에 KAIST에서는 중간 크기의 충격파 터널을 갖추게 되었다. 본 논문은 개발된 충격파 터널의 성능과 최근 수행된 모델 스크램제트 시험자료를 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서 모사된 자유흐름 유동조건은 마하수 5.7 비행속도에 해당하며, 이러한 비행조건에서 스크램제트의 초음속 연소기내에 유동 환경을 모사하였다.
