This paper presents the experimental results of a study undertaken to develop an electrostatic spray system for a combustion application. The characteristics of the liquid atomization and the droplet dispersion in the electrostatic spray of twin fluids were investigated by the optical measurement techniques. The processes associated with the break-up of charged jets were also observed using the laser sheet visualization. The diameter and velocity of droplets were simultaneously measured using the phase Doppler measurement technique. The electrostatic atomization of the liquid fuel depended primarily on the charging voltage and the flow rate, but the dispersion of droplets depended significantly on the aerodynamic flow. Aerodynamic influences on the liquid atomization decreased with an increase of the charging voltage. Consequently, the liquid atomization and the droplet dispersion could be independently controlled using the electrostatic and aerodynamic mechanisms.

연구소기내에서 원활한 연소를 위하여 액체의 균일하고 완전한 미소분열 문제는 매우 중요한 연구분야라 할 수 있으며, 특히 항공기용 가스터빈 연소기에 사용되는 분사 시스템의 설계시에는 단순한 미소분열 문제뿐 아니라 시동성 향상, 화염의 안정화, 공해물질의 저감 등은 물론 압력 차가 작고 유량범위가 넓으며 공기를 이용한 미립화(Atomization)의 효율이 낮은 영역, 즉, 시동(Start-up) 및 플레임 아웃(Flame-out)근처의 영역에서도 효율적인 미립화가 이루어지도록 고려되어져야 한다.

A part of the development of Scramjet Engine, this study was performed about Injectors. Barbotage injectors were used for experiment. To study characteristics of injector spray, water is supplied as a main fuel and Nitrogen is supplied for water atomization. Spray test facility and PDPA equipment were used in KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute). It was found that gas pressure change and spray distance is important value to spray atomization.

액체로켓에 대한 연구에서 가장 중요한 분야 중의 하나는 인젝터에 관한 것이다. 인젝터는 적정량의 산화제와 연료를 미립화 및 혼합시켜 연소실로 공급하는 것으로서, 액체로켓의 안정적 연소와 성능에 많은 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 기존의 F-O-F형 injector의 경우 산화제 오리피스가 연료쪽에 비해 면적이 크기 때문에 미립화 및 혼합이 좋지 못하다. 본 연구에 사용된 injector는 F-O-F형 injector의 산화제 오리피스 면적과 동일하게 두 개의 오리피스로 만들어 줌으로써 연료 오리피스와의 면적비를 적정수준으로 유지할 수 있다. 이는 동일한 조건하에서 Doublet injector나 Triplet injector의 경우 커지는 산화제의 오리피스를 제한시켜 주는 장점이 된다. 결과적으로 이러한 장점은 기존의 Doublet injector나 Triplet injector보다 높은 연소효율을 보이게 된다.

LES(Large eddy simulation) of breakup and atomization of a liquid jet into cross turbulent flow was performed. Two phase flow between a gas phase and a liquid phase was modeled by a mixed numerical scheme of both Eulerian and Lagrangian methods for gas and liquid phases respectively. The first and second breakup of liquid column was observed. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data for several variant of a liquid-gas momentum flux ratio by varying liquid injection velocities. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

Most jet spray and atomization simulations are done with the Eulerian method which has inherent disadvantage in representing jet breakups and droplets. Full Lagrangian particles method called Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) is used in this work. We develop the SPH code and perform validations that confirm the suitability of our SPH method for simulating liquid jet atomization problem. Then, we conduct the simulation of liquid-liquid swirl coaxial injector for comparison against the experimental data.

Two phase flow of gas and liquid phases were modeled by the mixed numerical scheme of both Eulerian and Lagrangian methods for gas and liquid droplet respectively. The breakup process of a liquid column and droplets was observed by implementing the blob-KH wave breakup model. The penetration depth into cross flow was comparable with experimental data for several variants of the liquid-gas momentum flux ratio by varying liquid injection velocity. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

A two-phase Large Eddy Simulation(LES) has been conducted to investigate breakup and atomization of a liquid jet in a cross turbulent flow in a rectangular duct. Gas-droplet two-phase flow was solved by a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method which tracks every individual particles. Effects of liquid breakup models, sub-grid scale models, and a order of spatial discretization was investigated. The penetration depth in cross flow was comparable with experimental data by varying breakup model and LES scheme. SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter) distribution downstream of jet was analyzed.

In liquid-fuel spray combustion, an experimental study was conducted to observe the effect of ultrasonic excitation on the ultrasonically-atomized liquid fuel flame by controlling pressure field through an ultrasonic standing wave. Flame of the ultrasonically-atomized kerosene aerosol was visualized by using a high speed camera, DSLR, and Schlieren photography. The amount of fuel consumed was obtained by a precise flow-rate measurement technique during combustion, through which the ratio of carrier gas (air) to fuel mass was able to be obtained, too. As a result, it could be found that the combustion reaction-rate of the liquid-fuel aerosol was increased by applying an ultrasonic standing wave to the secondary flame zone of the flame.

An experimental study was performed to investigate the combustion characteristics of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator. Configuration of the flame was caught by the high-speed camera, and images were analyzed in detail through a post-processing. In addition, the fuel consumption was measured using the balance during the combustion reaction. As a result, the consumption of atomized fuel increased with the increasing flow-rate of carrier-gas, but any correlation between the air/fuel ratio and carrier-gas flow-rate was not found. The variation of flame area was dependent on the fuel consumption and input power of the ultrasonic oscillator. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analyses using the flame area were conducted in order to discuss flame flickering.
