Atomization characteristics and spatial distribution of the spray emanating from an injector of liquid-propellant thruster are investigated by using dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Spray characteristic parameters such as the mean velocity, Sauter mean diameter (SMD), and velocity fluctuation are measured at various locations along the spray axis as well as on the radial direction. Those data are quantified in radial profile and also used to scrutinize the correlation between diameter and turbulence intensity of spray droplets. For the better visual grasp, dynamic behavior of spray droplets along the spray stream is presented through the velocity vectors projected on the plane of geometric axis of nozzle orifice and radial coordinate.

Pseudo-3D spatial distribution of spray droplets is investigated by using Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA) in order to examine the disintegration and spreading behavior of spray exiting from liquid-propellant thruster injector. Spray injected from nozzle orifice with length-to-diameter ratio ($L/d_o$) of 1.67 and under the injection pressure of 27.6 bar is aligned to the vertical. Vertical and horizontal mean velocities of droplets, Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), and volumetric flux decrease as droplets travel from center/upstream toward outer region/downstream of spray. Although the distribution of spray characteristic parameters is symmetric against the geometric axis of nozzle orifice, their absolute values are asymmetric.

A focus is given to the breakup behavior of spray droplets issuing from a nonimpinging-type injector. The analysis has been carried out experimentally by means of the dual-mode phase Doppler anemometry (DPDA). Spray characteristic parameters in terms of axial velocity, mean diameter, velocity fluctuation, and span (width of the size distribution) of droplets are measured down the geometric axis of a nozzle orifice and on the plane normal to the spray stream with the injection pressure variations. As the injection pressure increases, the velocity and its fluctuation become higher, whereas the droplet sizes get smaller. It is also shown that the magnitudes of those parameters are smoothed out by dispersion when the droplets move downstream as well as outwardly. The atomization process is significantly influenced by the injection pressure rather than the traveling distance in the experimental condition presented.

Pseudo-3D Spatial distribution of spray droplets is investigated by using Dual-mode Phase Doppler Anemometry (DPDA) in order to examine the disintegration and spreading behavior of spray exiting from liquid-thruster injector. Spray injected from nozzle orifice with length-to-diameter ratio $(L/d_o)$ of 1.67 and at the injection pressure of 27.6 bar is aligned to the vertical. Vertical and horizontal mean velocities of droplets, Arithmetic Mean Diameter (AMD), Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD), and volumetric flux decrease as droplets travel from center/upstream toward outer region/downstream of spray.

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.

Spray combustion has been used in many industrial fields, for instance, such as diesel engines, gas turbines and industrial furnaces, and furthermore various measurement techniques have been applied to elucidate the phenomenon of spray combustion. In order to measure simultaneously the droplet velocity and the droplet size of spray, phase doppler anemometry (PDA) was frequently used in spray combustion. However, the measurement error is occurred due to existence of flame, which is considered as influencing the precision of measurement. Therefore, the purpose of this study is experimentally to conduct the systematic evaluation on the measurement error when PDA measurement is applied to combustion field.

The behavior of spray emanating from an injector to be employed in a liquid-propellant thrust chamber is investigated by optical measurement techniques. The injector has eight holes, each of which has 30 cant angle from the center-axis with the diameter of 0.406 mm. In order to examine an atomization process according to the spray-generation conditions and the evolution along spray downstream, variational features in the velocity and size of droplets obtained through Dual-mode Phase Doppler An 799emometry (DPDA) are delineated and discussed together with instantaneous plane images captured by using Nd:Yag laser sheet beam. A categorization of spray-flow regime representing the atomization and turbulent nature is made through evaluating the non-dimensional parameters, i.e., Reynolds number and Weber number based upon the theoretical injection velocity. These qualitative and quantitative data of spray breakup will be a firm basis for the design of brand-new thruster

댐 운영에 있어서 필요한 수문자료는 강수량, 수위, 유량, 저수량 자료 등이 있다. 이중 저수량은 주로 댐수위-저수용량 곡선식을 이용하여 계산한다. 댐수위-저수용량 곡선식은 댐 부근에서 계측 되는 한 개의 수위자료를 이용하여 저수용량을 산정하며, 이는 큰 저수지 면적과 저수지 수면이 일정하지 않다는 것을 고려할 때 큰 오차가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 음향 도플러 유속계 ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) 이용하여 보성강댐 저수지 수면경사를 실측하고, 동시에 실시간 이동측위시스템인 RTK-GPS(Real Time Kinematic)를 이용하여 이를 검증하였다. ADCP는 유수의 흐름을 방해하지 않으면서 수중에 발사된 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 유속, 유량 및 측량이 가능한 장비이며, RTK-GPS의 경우 정밀한 위치정보를 가지고 있는 기준국의 위상에 대한 보정치를 실시간으로 이용하여 오차가 ±0.03m 이하인 것으로 알려졌다. 보성강댐의 하류에서 ADCP와 RTK-GPS를 장착한 보트를 저수지 종방향으로 처음부터 끝까지 이동하여 약 7.5km 종단측량을 실시하였고 저수지 지형적 특성을 고려하여 약 700m마다 횡단측량을 실시하여 종방향뿐만 아니라 횡방향 수면차도 조사하였다. 그 결과 보성강댐의 상류로 갈수록 수면경사가 전체적으로 상승하는 경향을 보였지만 일부구간에서 수위가 하강하는 경우도 발생하였다. 이는 미약하지만 저수지 내에 흐름이 발생하고 이 흐름에 따른 통제가 변화되는 것과 중간에 유입되는 지류의 영향 등으로 구간별로 수면경사 차이가 발생하는 것으로 추정된다. 횡방향 수면차는 지류가 유입되는 일부구간에서 다소 차이를 보였지만 큰 영향을 없는 것으로 판단된다. 보성강댐 저수지 수면을 종방향 및 횡방향으로 실측한 결과 구간별로 차이를 보였으며 최대 EL. 126.60m, 최소 EL. 126.33m 나타났다. 댐 상류 부근의 수면높이 EL. 126.50m와 비교하면 +0.10m, -0.17m 차이를 보였으며 이는 저수량 산정에 큰 오차를 발생시킨다. 효과적인 댐 운영을 위해서는 유입량 및 유출량을 정확하게 산정하는 것도 필요하지만 저수량을 정확하게 파악하는 것 역시 필요하다. 저수량을 정확하게 산정하려면 수킬로미터가 넘는 저수지 크기를 고려하여 수면경사를 실시간으로 계측하는 등의 노력이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

We propose a new method for measuring the frequency characteristics of phase velocity along a bone for bending vibration modes to diagnose its mechanical characteristics. By introducing a simple model of a distributed-constant-network, the phase velocity is determined for each frequency from the spatial distribution of velocity along a radius bone surface which is measured by the ultrasonic Doppler method.
