The function of a vehicle holding device (VHD) is to securely hold a launch vehicle on the launch pad and release the launch vehicle at maximum thrust after engine ignition to allow lift-off of the launch vehicle. During the release of the launch vehicle, to prevent the Ka doing a doing a doing mode, which is the vertical oscillation of the entire liquid propellant, the release of the launch vehicle should be gradual. In this study, for the gradual release of a launch vehicle, a hydraulic system comprising an accumulator and pyro valve to operate a hydraulic cylinder and control the speed of the cylinder with an orifice is introduced. Through a test, the influence of design variables on the cylinder speed is analyzed. Based on this, the design values of the hydraulic cylinder are determined. Through this study, the engineering basis for developing a VHD releasing a launch vehicle at maximum thrust is provided.

배변 후 toilet flushing 시 다량의 세균을 포함한 물방울들이 화장실 곳곳으로 퍼지는 현상이 있다. 이러한 현상을 방지하기 위해 변기 뚜껑에 자기 세정 효과를 갖는 초발수 표면을 위해 플라즈마를 이용한 표면 처리가 시도되고 있으며, 이 연구의 일환으로 flushing시의 변기내의 유동 분석을 초고속 카메라를 이용하여 수행하였다. Toilet flushing 시 물 튀김 현상은 육안으로는 잘 관찰하기 어렵지만 최고 1000 frame/sec의 속도를 갖는 CCD camera를 이용하여 정량적으로 물 튀김에 의한 오염 가능성을 촬영 분석하였다, 두 번째로 소변 시의 변기 표면에서의 튀김현상을 분석하기 위하여 소변의 발사각도 및 속도를 가장 실제와 유사한 조건으로 설정하고 이를 상용 전산 유체 역학 소프트웨어인 CFD- ACE+의 자유 표면 계산 기능과 두 가지 유체(액체 및 기체)의 혼합 계산 모델을 사용한 계산 결과와 비교 하였다. 그 결과 변기 표면의 표면장력을 아주 작게 설정한 경우(작은 접촉각, 친수성)에는 중력의 영향을 고려하였음에도 불구하고 소변이 변기에 충돌 후 상부로 상당부분 튀어 올라가는 결과를 얻었다. 여러 가지 각도와 발사 속도, 실제의 인체와 유사한 발사 부위의 형상 변화로 인한 유체 표면의 난류 발생과 이에 따른 변기 표면 충돌 현상 변화 등을 수치적으로 고찰하였다. 한 예로 5.6 mm 직경의 노즐에서 소변이 나오는 경우를 발사 속도 3 m/s, 각도 $10^{\circ}$로 주고 중력을 고려하여 10초 동안을 계산하면, 방뇨 시 toilet bowl 내부에서의 물의 유동과 toilet 표면을 맞고 튀기는 현상을 그림 1과 같이 볼 수 있었다.

We have studied the numerical analysis about the fragment ejection velocity and spray angle when the High Explosive warhead detonated at proximity distance at an aircraft. To study the physical quantities about the warhead components is very important to assessment the vulnerability of aircraft. Generally, the physical quantities about the components of a warhead such as the mass, length, diameter and charge to mass ratio are unknown. Therefore, it is required to estimate the physical quantities by using physical continuities of similar threats. The empirical formulas to understand the dependence among charge to mass ratio, length and diameter ratio were driven by using the physical parameters of similar threatening such as terrier, sparrow. As a result, we confirmed that the dead mass ratio was closed to 20% of warhead mass since the metal case of the proximity threat acts as a simple carrier. This implies that the effective length and diameter of High Explosive Compound is smaller than the length and diameter of warhead, and become a key to understand the large ejection gradient velocity and small spray angle of fragments within 6 degree.

Many plane, UAV and drone fly in the sky as development of aviation industry. Plane and UAV fly and drone's propellers rotate so fast. Impact between flying objects which have high velocity threats passengers. Also the impact damages people, building and various property. Plane's operating speed is near sound velocity(340m/s), and propeller's rotating speed is less than that. Until now, impact experiment uses gas gun to get speed and the gun needs large space to entirely air expansion. Electromagnetic launcher, especially railgun, needs smaller space than gas gun to get enough speed about 500m/s. This paper explains electromagnetic launcher's operating principle, shows making electromagnetic launcher design guide line and suggests that it is a better apparatus to get low-high velocity.

재래식 총은 발사체의 속도가 너무 낮기 때문에 이동하는 목표물에 대한 명중률이 낮으므로, 현대전은 발사체 속도를 높이기를 요구한다. 이 문제는 대공화기에서 특히 절실하며, 그것은 공격하는 비행체의 속도와 고도 증가에 보조를 맞추지 못해 왔기 때문이다. 또한 실제적인 표적거동에 대하여 조준점과 탄착점과의 오차 거리는 비행시간의 제곱에 좌우되므로, 전자기 총은 사격제어 오차의 영향을 80-90%까지 감소시킬수 있다. 종말탄도 조건은 장갑두께가 변할 때 변하므로 대장갑 교전에서는 균일장갑에만 해당되나, 그럼에도 불구하고 대장갑 교전에서 장점이 기대된다

A computational work has been performed to investigate the aerodynamics of a projectile which is launched from a ballistic range. A moving coordinate method for a multi-domain technique is employed to simulate unsteady projectile flows with a moving boundary. The variation of a virtual mass and the shape of projectile are added to the axisymmetric unsteady Euler equation systems. The present computational results properly predict the velocity, acceleration, drag histories and the major flow characteristics of the projectile.

The ballistic range has long been employed in a variety of engineering fields such as high-velocity impact engineering, projectile aerodynamics, creation of new materials, etc, since it can create an extremely high-pressure state in very short time. Two-stage light gas gun is being employed most extensively. The present experimental study has been conducted to develop a new type of ballistic range which can easily perform a projectile simulation. The ballistic range consists of a high-pressure tube, piston, pump tube, shock tube and launch tube. The experiment is conducted to find out the dependence of various parameters on the projectile velocity. The pressure in high-pressure tube, pressure of diaphragm rupture and projectile mass are varied to obtain various projectile velocities. This study also addresses the effect of the presence of a shock tube located between the pump tube and launch tube on system study. The experimental results are compared with those obtained through an author's theoretical study.

Light gas guns have a large number of applications in various fields of engineering. A two-stage light gas gun can develop an extremely high pressure in a very short interval of time. This can be employed efficiently in the application of ultra-high pressure liquid jets. In general, the two-stage light gas gun is made up of a high pressure tube, a compression tube and a launch tube, each stage being separated by diaphragms. The first diaphragm is installed downstream of the high pressure tube and the second, downstream of the compression tube. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate the projectile velocity and pressure behavior in the tubes according to the pressure changes at diaphragm opening. It is found that the rupture pressure of the first diaphragm has a dominant influence on projectile velocity. It is also observed that at pressures greater than 14 bar, the pressure in the launch tube exceeds that in the compression tube.

Numerical investigation has been made on the aerodynamic characteristics of supersonic air-launching rocket, as a new concept launching mechanism. Parametric study on the variations of launching velocity, incident angle and mounting location of the rocket has been performed using three dimensional Euler equations. Influential factors at separating stage of the rocket were extracted through comprehensive analyses, and, the response surface models were constructed for those factors. From the study, the aerodynamic behavior of the air-launching rocket at supersonic speed and useful guidelines for the optimal mounting location of the rocket have been obtained.
