Combustion tests were conducted for a hydrogen-fueled Mach 5 scramjet engine model using a blow-down facility. No fuel and two fuel flow rate cases were tested for two different model configurations. Time history of the wall static pressures inside the model and their time-averaged spatial distribution were used for the analysis of the flow and combustion characteristics. For shorter model, supersonic combustion was occurred for both of the fuel flow rate cases. For longer model, supersonic combustion was occurred for less fuel case, whereas thermal choking and subsonic combustion were occurred for more fuel case. Intake started even for this subsonic combustion case.

The temperature distribution and heat flux of the inner cylinder wall of a 4-cycle turbocharged gasoline engine were calculated by a 2-dimensional coordinate transformation. Boundary conditions of the inner wall of the cylinder were taken from the results of diagnostic engine simulations. Results show that the ununiformity of inner wall temperature of the cylinder black can be reduced by a proper choice of the thickness of fin and the distance between two cylinder blocks.

The supersonic impinging jet has been extensively applied to rocket launching system, gas jet cutting control, gas turbine blade cooling, etc. In such applications, wall temperature of an object on which supersonic jet impinges is a very important factor to determine the performance and life of the device. However, wall temperature data of supersonic impinging jets are not enough to data. The present study describes an experimental work to measure the wall temperatures of a vertical flat plate on which supersonic, dual, coaxial jet impinges. An Infrared camera is employed to measure the wall temperature distribution on the impinging plate. The pressure ratio of the jet is varied to obtain the supersonic jets in the range of over-expanded to moderately under-expanded conditions at the exit of coaxial nozzle. The distance between the coaxial nozzle and the flat plate was also varied. The coaxial jet flows are visualized using a Shadow optical method. The results show that the wall temperature distribution of the impinging plate is strongly dependent on the jet pressure ratio and the distance between the nozzle and plate.

In this study, an analysis of natural convection of magnetic fluids in a closed-semicircular pipe was performed by the numerical methods. For the numerical method GSMAC method of Siliomis is used. From the results of numerical methods it is verified that the natural convection of the magnetic fluid, I investigated the nature convection phenomenon of the magnetic fluid with numerical analysis and was going to study the thermodynamic characteristic of the magnetic fluid. Because the effect of magnetic field control natural convection, we needed to find effective method to eliminate heat in the cure of heat transfer.

The present study is an experimental work of the soni $c^ersonic air ejector-diffuser system. The pressure-time dependence in the secondary chamber of this ejector system is measured to investigate the steady operation of the ejector system. Six different primary nozzles of two sonic nozzles, two supersonic nozzles, petal nozzle, and lobed nozzle are employed to drive the ejector system at the conditions of different operating pressure ratios. Static pressures on the ejector-diffuser walls are to analyze the complicated flows occurring inside the system. The volume of the secondary chamber is changed to investigate the effect on the steady operation. the results obtained show that the volume of the secondary chamber does not affect the steady operation of the ejector-diffuser system but the time-dependent pressure in the secondary chamber is a strong function of the volume of the secondary chamber.er.

In this study, we propose an supersonic diffuser that is one of test facilities for hypersonic propulsion engine, and conduct numerical analyses and cold flow test using each diffuser as the corresponding variable. Specifically, inner flow characteristics are computed based on mach number and pressure by the numerical analyses. Also, we test through cold flow test the pressure in the vacuum chamber and the inner pressure that is formed by the wall pressure. Finally, we compare the results from cold flow test and the numerical analyses, and report a preliminary result that might be useful to construct a better test facility of hypersonic propulsion engine in the future.

In this study, a series of CFD analyses were carried out for a hydrogen rocket combustor with a single shear coaxial injector. A hybrid RANS/LES approach was used for the turbulent combustion analysis with a two-dimensional axisymmetric configuration. Three reaction mechanisms, three spatial discretization methods, and three levels of grid resolution were compared to determine an appropriate CFD approach. The performance of the CFD prediction were investigated by comparing the wall heat flux with experimental data. Investigation of the flow field results provides an insight into the characteristics of the turbulent reacting flow of a rocket combustor with a shear coaxial injector.

A direct connected test was conducted for a supersonic combustor with a cavity-type flame holder. Liquid hydro-carbon fuel was injected in different types of injectors: inclined and aeroramp injectors, for the flow condition of Mach 4 at an altitude of 20 km. The static pressure on the combustor wall along the axis and the total pressure at the exit of combustor were measured to analyze the combustion characteristics at various fuel flow rates.

We analyzed the low wall-shear stress area in the intracranial aneurysm that occurred at an anterior communicating artery with a special emphasis on vortical structures close to the wall. We reconstructed the aneurysm model from patient CTA data. We assumed blood as an incompressible Newtonian fluid and treated the blood vessel as a solid wall. The pulsatile boundary condition was applied at the inlet of the anterior cerebral artery. From the instantaneous flow field, we computed the histogram of the wall-shear stress over the aneurysm wall and found the low wall-shear stress event (< 0.4 Pa). This extreme event was due to the low wall-shear stress area that occurred at the daughter sac. We found that the merging of two vortices induced the low wall-shear stress area; one arises from the morphological characteristics of the daughter sac, and the other is formed by a jet flow into the aneurysm sac. The latter approaches the daughter sac, which ultimately leads to the strong ejection event near the daughter sac.

Numerical analysis was performed on the shock wave-boundary layer interaction generated in the internal flow path of the curved interstage of the scramjet engine flight test vehicle. For numerical analysis, the turbulence model k-ω SST was used in the compressibility Raynolds Averaged Navier Stokes(RANS) equation. Representatively, the separation bubbles on the upper wall of the nozzle, the interaction between the concave shock wave and the boundary layer, and the shock wave-shock wave interaction at the edge were captured. The analysis result visualizes the shock wave-boundary layer interaction of the curved internal flow path to enhance understanding and suggest design considerations.
