The flow characteristics in a solid particle incinerator are investigated numerically for high burning rate of wastes. The studied incinerator employs both a swirl flow used in the furnace of powerplants and a design concept applied to a rocket combustor. As the first step, the non-reactive flow field is analyzed in the incinerator with primary and secondary injectors through which solid fuel and air are injected. The deflection angle of a primary injector, inclination angle of a secondary injector, and gap between the two types of injectors are selected as design parameters. The swirl number is adopted for evaluating the degree of swirl flow and estimated over wide ranges of three parameters. The swirl number increases with deflection angle, but it is affected little by inclination angle. Recirculation zones are formed near the injectors, and their size affects the swirl number. The swirl number decreases with the zonal size of recirculation. From the numerical results, the design points can be found with strong swirl flow.

A water-flow test was carried out for the nonimpinging-type injector to be equipped on 70 N-class liquid-rocket engine under development. Breakup patterns of injector-spray transit from a smooth jet to wavy one as the injection angle increases, whereas spray-breakup lengths are inversely proportional to the injection pressure. It is confirmed that there exist ruffles on the surface of liquid column, which could be caught through the instantaneous spray images captured by high-speed camera. A phenomenon of spray shedding amplified at the specific pressure level of 0.93 MPa was an unexpected behavior of the injected stream and it is to be investigated further.

유체역학적 추력 방향 제어(Fluidic Thrust Vector Control) 방법 중 하나인 동축류 제어 유동 분사를 이용한 추력 방향 제어(Co-flow Thrust Vector Control)의 작동 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 이 제어 방법은 점성 유동이 벽면에 부착되어 흐르는 코안다 효과(Coanda Effect)를 이용하여 주 유동을 편향 시키는 방법으로서 그 편향각은 이러한 제어 유동 노즐 출구의 플랩 형상에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 출구 플랩 형상을 여러 가지로 바꾸어 가며 주 유동의 전압력 300kPa일 때 제어 유동의 편향각이 포화되는 제어유동의 전압력을 측정하였다. 그 결과 쐐기형 플랩의 각도가 증가할수록 포화 영역에서의 편향각은 증가하며 그 각은 플랩의 각도와 일치한다. 그러나 각도가 증가할수록 제어 유동이 플랩의 벽면을 지나면서 팽창파에 의해 가속되어 충격파을 발생시키게 되고 이 충격파는 주 유동에게까지 전파되어 주 유동 제트의 속도를 감소시킨다.

In order to find the excavating performance of water-jet nozzle on the sand, the authors were carried out the excavating experiment with the model nozzles which were semi circular sectioned nozzles and rectangular nozzle in water tank. The results were as follows. 1) Excavating maximum depth and width on the sand by the water jet were straightly increased in proportion to the velocity of water jet and the section area of nozzle, and that, by the nozzle distance from the excavating point on the sand, the depth was decreased, while the width was increased straightly. 2) Rectangular nozzle which the thick of hole is 1mm, was a little bit better than the circular nozzle of the same sectioned area on the excavating performance. 3) Empirical equations between the velocity of water jet, the distance of nozzle, and the maximum excavating depth and width by angle of nozzle were expressed as linear, they were as follows on the 45$^{\circ}$ angle of the rectangular nozzle(1$\times$12mm); D=0.0093V sub(0)-0.23H+5.7. W=0.0147V sub(0)+1.06H+10.2. where, D is the maximum excavating depth(cm), W is the maximum excavation width(cm), V sub(0) is the velocity of water jet(cm/s); 926$\leq$V sub(0)$\leq$1504, H is the distance(cm) from nozzle tip to water-jetted point on the surface of sand.

The spray characteristics of coaxial swirl injector under ambient high pressure conditions were investigated in this paper. Three injectors were used to study the effect of recess length and fuel injector type(open or closed). In this research, experimental conditions(ambient gas density) were calculated by Buckingham Pi-theory and spray characteristics of the injectors were represented by mass flow rate according to the injection pressure, the spray angle, mass distribution, and mean diameter of droplet.

The role of the injector as an acoustic resonator is studied for the high performance rocket engine adopting the gas-liquid scheme injector. Acoustic behavior in the combustor with single injector is investigated numerically adopting linear acoustic analysis for cold condition. Acoustic-damping effect of the injector is evaluated by damping factor as a function of the injector length. From the numerical results, it is found that the injector can play a significant role in acoustic damping and the optimum length of the injector corresponds to half of a full wavelength of the longitudinal mode with the acoustic frequency to be damped in the chamber. In baffled chamber, the optimum lengths of the injector are calculated as a function of baffle length for both cold and hot conditions.

The fire extinguishing performance of hybrid nozzle systems is improved by injecting an extinguishing agent concentrically into the target site and, in this study, water mist is used as a water curtain to confine the droplets of the agent. In this study, we numerically investigated the effect of the foundation angle and injection pressure on the performance of a hybrid nozzle by evaluating the mean radius of the volume fractions of the agent and water mists. An experiment involving a water mist nozzle was carried out to validate the numerical method and then the droplet behaviors, e.g., stochastic collision, coalescence and breakup, were calculated with 2-way interaction Discrete Particle Modeling (DPM) in the steady state for the hybrid nozzle system. The mean radius of the water mists increased by about 40 %, whereas that of the agent decreased by about 21 %, when the injection pressure was increased from 30 bar to 60 bar. In addition, the mean radius of the agent increased by about 24 % as the foundation angle of the hybrid nozzle head increased from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. As a result, it can be inferred that the injection angle and pressure are important factors for hybrid water mist designs.

We have conducted a numerical simulation under two-dimensional unsteady conditions in order to analyze the effect according to the injection angle and velocity of the $CO_2$ agent nozzle which is one of the elements for the fixed type $CO_2$ fire extinguishing system installed in a ship on the characteristics of flow and $CO_2$ concentration distribution. The flow fields and concentration fields were measured and analyzed. We can found that the difference of flow patterns according to the conditions of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle, and in all the conditions of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle, the iso-concentration line was expanded from the region at which vortex was generated to the surroundings. We can expected that the intensity of the wall jet on the bottom floor was generated differently and the iso-concentration lines were expanded or shrunk according to the angle of $CO_2$ agent injection nozzle. In case of increasing $CO_2$ agent injection velocity maintaining the flow quantity of the $CO_2$ agent injection equally, the iso-concentration line of $CO_2$ agent on bottom floor can be formed more higher than in case of decreasing $CO_2$ agent injection velocity.

It is well-known that the fuel injection system if a diesel engine has taken a more important place in understanding of diesel combustion process with combustion chamber. But a diesel fuel injection system has an assembly of many complex and intricate problems such as the desired rate of injection, secondary injection and injection pump etc., in addition to the atomization for ignition and combustion, the penetration and diestribution for proper utilization of air. The analysis is carried out by simplifing and modeling the injection phenomena and dividing into three parts comprising of fuel injection pump, high pressure pipe and fuel injection nozzle. The purpose of this paper is to describe an analytical simulation of the injection system and to speed up the work of developing injection systems for new engines. The effects of important injection parameters as predicted by the present model are found to be in good agreement with experiment. It can be seen that there is an optimal pipe diameter for maximum quantity injected.

Combustion characteristics of a KSR-III liquid rocket engine with split-triplet (F-O-O-F) type injector elements are investigated numerically from the viewpoints of engine performance and combustion flowfield. To evaluate numerical analysis of liquid rocket engine with radial type injector arrangement, 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D calculations are carried out and the prediction of engine performance for design and off-design conditions is in a good agreement with hot-firing tests. According to 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D calculations, the prediction error is 3∼5 % from the standpoint of performance. Numerical results of combustion characteristics calculated through 3-D analysis agree well with hot-firing tests qualitatively at injector plate. Decreasing impinging angle and changing radial type injector arrangement to H type injector arrangement reduce effectively local high-temperature region. Also, it is examined that those affect the performance seriously. In conclusion, it is revealed that both injector arrangement and impinging angle are critical parameters to affect the performance and combustion characteristics of the liquid rocket engine.
