Abstract

Since the hypersonic intake is directly related to the overall performance of the engine, it is essential to analyze performance characteristics under various off-design conditions. In this paper, Busemann intake and conical intake with external compression were designed, and numerical simulations were performed at on/off-design conditions. Based on the results, the overall performance characteristics of two types of intake were analyzed in various Mach numbers and angle of attacks. The results showed that performance degradation of Busemann intake with truncation angle of 2 degrees was minimal. Also, the performance of Busemann intake was higher than external compression intake at various Mach numbers, however, the starting characteristics were significantly reduced with an angle of attack.

극초음속 영역에서 운용되는 스크램제트엔진의 흡입구는 엔진 전체 성능에 직접적으로 연관되어 있으므로 개발에 앞서, 다양한 조건에서의 성능 특성 분석이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 축대칭 내부 압축형 흡입구인 Busemann과 외부 압축형 흡입구 형상을 설계하고, 설계점 및 탈설계점에서의 전산해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 토대로, 마하수와 받음각에 대한 극초음속 흡입구의 전반적인 성능 특성을 파악하였다. Busemann 흡입구는 $2^{\circ}$의 Truncation 각에 따라 흡입구의 길이를 단축하여도 성능 저하가 미미하였으며 탈설계 마하수에서는 흡입구 성능이 우수하였으나, 받음각이 있는 경우 시동 특성이 크게 저하되었다.
