Numerical investigation on radiation characteristics of discrete frequency noise from asymmetry aero-intakes was carried out. The near-field predictions were obtained by solving the linearized Euler equations with computational aeroacoustic techniques consisting of high order finite difference scheme, non-reflecting boundary conditions, oversetgrid techniques. For the prediction of far-field directivity pattern, the Kirchhoff integral method was applied. By comparing the directivities of noise radiating from the scarf and the scoop aero-intakes with that from an axisymmetric aero-intake, it is shown that noise reduction at downward peak radiation angle can be achieved. The scattering of the radiating acoustic wave by background mean flow shifts the peak lobe radiation angle toward ground and increases the amplitude of the acoustic pressure compared with the cases without mean flow effect.

Ice accretions on the surface around a rotorcraft air intake can deteriorate the safety of rotorcraft due to the engine performance degradation. The computational simulation based on modern CFD methods can be considered extremely valuable in analyzing icing effects before exact but very expensive icing wind tunnel or in-flight tests are conducted. In this study the range and amount of ice on the surface of anti-icing equipment are investigated for heat-on and heat-off modes. It is demonstrated through the computational prediction and the icing wind tunnel test that the maximum mass and height of ice of heat-on mode are reduced about 80% in comparison with those of heat-off mode.

In this study, we conducted a structural design and analysis of air intake of aircraft engine using composite materials. First, an investigation on structural design requirement of target structure was carried out. The distributed pressure load and acceleration condition was applied to structural design. To evaluate the structural design result, finite element analysis was carried out. The stress, deflection and buckling analysis for structural safety evaluation was performed. Finally, it was confirmed that the air intake through structural analysis is safety.

A turboprop aircraft for this study is required to operate at icing condition in order that it performs its given mission. So an air intake system of the turboprop aircraft should be designed and verified not only to provide the maximum possible total pressure at engine inlet at normal flight condition, but also to include an inertial separator which protects Foreign Object Debris (FOD) like ice or snow at icing condition from entering into the engine inlet screen which can cause or lead an catastrophic engine failure like engine flame-out or severe damage. So an air intake assembly incorporating a variable geometry inertial separator has been designed and then CFD/structural analysis for the assembly was performed to see its design results. Then 35% scaled model of the air intake assembly was manufactured and wind tunnel test was done. This paper describes the detailed design results for the aerodynamic design, analysis and wind tunnel testing during the development process of the air intake assembly.

무기체계의 추진체로서 고체 로켓트 추진기관이 제작의 용이성, 구조의 간단성, 이에 따른 저렴한 제작비, 그리고 고 신뢰도 확보가능 등의 여러 장점으로 대부분의 현존 전술 유도무기에 채택되어 사용되어 오고 있으나 대응, 방어 무기체계의 빠른 발전으로 이에 따른 새로운 추진기관의 유도무기체제가 요구되고 있다. 램제트 기관은 공기흡입추진기관으로 상대적으로 높은 비추력(1000-2000s)과 추력 중량비(∼20)을 가지며, 이로 인해 기존의 로켓 엔진에 비해 4-5배의 성능을 낼 수 있으며, 초음속 장거리 비행에 적합하다며, 또한 높은 속도영역까지 운용가능하고 구조가 비교적 간단하다.

A Supersonic air intake model was designed for the high performance ramjet and dual-mode scramjet engine to operate at Mach 4 flight condition. The air intake was tested in the blowdown-type wind tunnel of Kyushu University to identify the internal flow characteristics corresponding to the flight parameters such as the back pressure, angle of attack and angle of yaw. Flow visualization was achieved by the Schlieren and oil flow visualization techniques. The intake performance was analyzed quantitatively based on the surface pressure and total Pressure measurements. The experimental results were compared with the computational fluid dynamics results. The present study exhibits the fundamental but rarely found experimental results of the high Mach number supersonic air intake.

The component based propulsion modeling and simulation of an air-breathing engine such as ramjet and scramjet is studied. The simulation model has been realized considering the characteristics of the air-breathing engine which is composed of air intake, combustor and nozzle including engine controller and fuel supply system. To estimate the engine performance and to verify the engine controller, real time based Hardware in the Loop System simulating actual environment is constructed.

In order to prevent the decay heat removal system from failure due to air entrainment or free surface vortex in the piping system, a set of simulating experiments for the midloop operation of nuclear power plant was performed. Through these experiments, a relation between the dimensionless numbers, such as submergence H/d, froude number, reynolds number, was found. However, the effect of reynolds number was negligible for the operation conditions of Nuclear power plant. It was also found that the perturbation of the system by the disturbance such as pump start, valve operation, etc., has a strong effect on the free surface vortex. Furthermore, from a view point of reactor safery, a modified inlet device of reducer type is strongly recommendable for the prevention of air entrainment.

The SFRJ(Solid Fuel Ram-Jet) propulsion is attractive for projectiles because of the combination of high propulsive performance and low system complexity more than conventional projectiles. The Objective of this research was to characterize the inlet aerodynamic characteristics (center-body & pitot type) in SFRJ. Diffuser static pressure & combustion chamber pressure was tested and the AoA was changed $0^{\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}$ at Mach number of 3.0 for performance estimate. The performance study of inlet was carried out with the Schlieren system and Supersonic cold-flow system. Under mach 3.0, the center-body showed twice higher total pressure recovering ratio than the pitot type. A Computational fluid dynamic solution is applied internal flow of inlet and the solutions are compared with experimental results.
