A technical review of Soviet/Russian supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles is presented. The supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles is one of the weapons for asymmetric power. The supersonic speed of the missiles is very useful both for attacking a time critical target and for improving target-penetration characteristics of the missile. The survivability of the missiles has also been increased by the improved concept of operation. Supersonic cruise missiles is greatly affected by the evolution of propulsion technology. Early supersonic cruise missiles adopt turbojet engines and rocket motors. The use of the integrated rocket-ramjet engine reduced the size of the supersonic missile, so today's supersonic cruise missiles are suitable to be deployed in various platforms. Nowadays, export versions of the missiles are actively being developed.

New concept ramjet propulsion system with liquid bipropellant rocket using "Green Propellant" hydrogen peroxide for launch stage is proposed. In this novel concept, hydrogen peroxide gas generator produces hot oxygen at launch stage and kerosene injects to this jet in combustor. For basic study of this new concept ramjet system, investigation of auto-ignition characteristics and combustion of decomposed hydrogen peroxide and kerosene was conducted. In various test cases, auto-ignition and stable combustion was verified. The combustion temperature of 400°C and Fuel/Oxidizer mixture ratio of 0.6 were the limit of auto ignition. Through the experiment results, the possibility of novel concept combined propulsion system using hydrogen peroxide gas generator is ascertained.

A two color PIV technique has been developed for visualization of complex and high speed flow in a ramjet combustor. Two color PIV has the advantages that velocity distribytions in high speed flowfields can be measured simply by varying the time interval between two different laser beams and a directional ambiguity problem can be solved by color separation, and then a singnal-to-noise ratio can be increased through nearly perfect cross-correlation. As a basic research of the ramjet engine, a 2-D shaped combustor with two symmetric air intakes has been manufactured and an experimental study has been conducted using a two color PIV technique. The flow characteristics such as recirculation zones and two intake air mixing have been investigated varying inlet angles and dome heights. It is found that the size and air mass ratio of reciculation zones are affected mainly by an inlet angle, but not much by a dome height.

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the dynamic fracture toughness of advance glass ceramics(MACOR glass-filled ceramic, Corning Glass Works) for dome port cover of the ramjet. Static and dynamic fracture toughness tests are performed using strain gage method in the variation of notch radii.

초음속 흡입구는 고속 비행에서 발생하는 충격파를 이용하여 제트엔진 내부에 유입되는 공기를 압축시키는 구조로써 주로 램제트와 스크램제트 엔진에 적용되어 연구개발이 진행되어 왔으며 현재는 미사일의 추진체 개발에도 응용되고 있다. 초음속 영역에서의 흡입구는 cone 모양의 스파이크 구조를 통해 경사충격파가 생성되어 외부에서의 공기압축을 먼저 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 EDISON CFD를 이용하여 외부압축 초음속 흡입구 주위의 공기유동을 해석하고 Cubbison, R.W.의 풍동실험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 초음속 흡입구 주위의 유동을 2D 축대칭 압축성 유동으로 가정하고 EDISON CFD의 2D_Comp_P 솔버를 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다.

The present work was conducted to achieve the better understanding of the performance analysis technique for the expander type air turbo ramjet engine. For this purpose, the performance analysis was carried out using a small engine(8.0kN thrust) with two types of fuels. From this analysis, at the same input condition, the thrust of methane-fueled engine was 25% lower than that of hydrogen. In addition, the case of methane shows the inapplicable engine performance cycle.(i.e., The compressor work exceeds the turbine output power) These results come mainly from the different heating value of each fuel and specific heat. This analysis also shows that, to build a same performance cycle as the hydrogen case, the methane-fueled engine requires increased air and fuel flow rates, increased turbine expansion ratio, and decreased compressor pressure ratio.

Development and validation of performance analysis model for dual combustion ramjet engines has been performed. A typical performance model for hypersonic intake flow and supersonic mixing and combustion was demonstrated; Taylor-Maccoll equation for coaxial intakes and a quasi-one dimensional reacting flow analysis with CEA chemical equilibrium for supersonic combustion. The results, thermodynamic data of intake and supersonic combustor were validated with CFD numerical results.

In this paper, prototype dynamic modeling scheme to control ramjet propulsion systems were proposed. From the physical understandings of engine system, a typical 2nd-order system model was applied to simulate the dynamic characteristics of fuel supply system. The shock location varience in diffuser to chamber pressure fluctuation is calculated so that the out of phase between two signals was observed.

The performance of ramjet engine is closely associated with a supersonic intake. In this study, experiments and computational simulations were conducted to observe the internal flow characteristics of the supersonic intake. The supersonic intake which have self-starting characteristics was designed and manufactured. The flow characteristics was analyzed from the experimental results using the supersonic wind tunnel testing and computational results using RANS equation and Menter's SST turbulence model. The detailed visualization results were suggested for the pseudo-shock wave of stable operations and for the inlet buzz phenomenon of unstable operations.

램제트 엔진에 대한 기초 연구로서 양쪽 대칭의 공기 흡입구를 갖는 2차원 형태의 램제트엔진 연소기를 제작하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 실험은 흡입공기의 연소실내 유입각도와 연소실내의 도움 위치에 따른 연소실 형상을 바꾸어가며 연소기내의 유동특성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 고속 유동장의 2차원 평면 속도 분포를 측정할 수 있는 two color PIV 기법을 개발하였다. 이 기법은 다른 색의 두 레이저빔을 사용하여 방향성의 문제를 해결하며, 이미지의 색 분리에 따른 거의 완벽한 cross-correlation이 가능하며 높은 single-to-noise 비를 얻게 됨으로써 dynamic range의 증가가 가능해지며, 조사 영역 안에 존재해야 하는 입자 쌍의 수가 줄어들게 된다.(중략)
