this paper the acoustic signature from a supersonic nozzle is measured and compared to the result of a program developed for a gas turbine noise prediction. In order to measure the jet Mach Number, the pressure and temperature at the settling chamber was measured along with pressures from a pitot-tube placed near the exit. The results are also compared to the ones obtained with a shadow graph technique. Jet noise produced by an imperfectly expanded jet contains shock associated noise, which consist of broadband noise and screech tone noise. For subsonic condition, the directivity is dominant to the downstream direction due to turbulence mixing noise. For supersonic conditions, however, the directivity is dominant toward upstream direction due to shock associated noise. The comparison with a jet exhaust noise prediction code shows good agreement at supersonic conditions but needs to be improved at subsonic speeds.

Experiments of normal shock wave/turbulent boundary layer interaction were conducted in a supersonic diffuser. The flow Mach number just upstream of the normal shock wave was in the range of 1.10 to 1.70 and Reynolds number based upon the turbulent boundary layer thickness was varied in the range of 2.2*10$^{[-994]}$ -4.4*10$^{[-994]}$ . The wall pressures in streamwise and spanwise directions were measured for two test cases, in which the turbulent boundary layer thickness incoming into the supersonic diffuser was changed. The results show that the interactions of normal shock wave with turbulent boundary layer in the supersonic diffuser can be divided into three patterns, i.e., transonic interaction, weak interaction and strong interaction, depending on Mach number. The weak interactions generate the post-shock expansion which its strength is strong as the Mach number increases and the strong interactions form the pseudo-shock waves. From the spanwise measurements of wall pressure, it is known that if the flow Mach number is low, the interacting flow fields essentially appear two-dimensional, but they have an apparent 3-dimensionality for the higher Mach numbers.

A rapid expansion of moist air of condensible gas through a supersonic nozzle gives rise to condensation of nonequilibrium and equilibrium processes. Because most of the effects of condensation on the flow are caused by process of nonequilibrium condensation, it is very important to know the onset. condition of nonequilibrium condensation. In the present study, the relation between the initial relative stagnation humidity and the onset Mach number, for the case of the similarity law suggested by Zierep and Lin. Furthermore, the present theoretical result number is compared with the experimental, numerical and other results.

Based upon the results of numerical calculation. empirical scaling equations were made for supersonic under-expanded jets in both axisymmetric and two dimensional flows. The objective of the present study is to obtain a straightforward method that can predict the under-expanded supersonic jets issuing from various kinds of nozzles. The present empirical equations were agreed with the calculation results of total variation diminishing difference scheme. The supersonic under-expanded jets operating with a given pressure ratio could be well predicted by the present scaling equations.

초음속 유동하에서 측추력기 주위의 유동 현상을 실험 및 수치해석을 이용하여 해석하였다. 실험은 버지니아공대의 초음속 풍동과 건국대의 초음속 풍동을 사용하였으며 계산 코드는 Aerosoft 사의 GASP(ver.4.0)과 건국대의 AADL3D를 사용하였다. 실험결과는 Schlieren, Shadow graph 등의 가시화 장치와 압력 센서와 PSP(Pressure Sensitive Paint)를 이용하여 유동장 특성과 압력분포를 구하여 실제 작용되는 힘과 모멘트를 구하였다. 실험조건은 자유류의 흐름이 마하수 4 이고 측추력기와 자유류의 압력비가 532 이었다. 성능향상 방안으로 측추력기 후방에 램프를 설치하는 것을 제안하였으며 이에 대한 실험을 수행하여 수직력에 대한 변화는 없지만 피칭다운 모멘트가 약 $70\%$ 감소함을 보여주어 실제로 성능이 향상되었음을 입증하였다. 또한 측추력기의 성능에 영향을 주는 여러 가지 인자들에 대한 가시화실험을 수행하여 그 이해를 돕고자 하였으며, 현재 건국대에서 보유하고 있는 고속유동 관련 실험장치의 소개와 이를 이용한 연구들을 소개하므로써 압축성 유동장 연구에 이러한 실험장치의 필요성에 대한 이해를 구하고자 한다.

A technology for buzz margin determination is suggested to obtain stable shock structure and high compression efficiency of supersonic intake. By using the shock equilibrium equation of supersonic intake, sensitivity equation of terminal shock position for free stream and back pressure is induced and disturbances are quantified through statistical approach. Numerical results show that the sensitivity of shock position for disturbances is proportional to Mach number and the back pressure is dominant for variance of terminal shock position.

Heat transfer characteristic near a sharp fin was studied in a supersonic flow. Mach number and the Reynolds number were 3 and $5{\times}10^7$ respectively. Infra-red thermography was used to obtain the variation of surface heat transfer coefficient distribution. The angles of attack were ranged from $12.5^{\circ}$ to $20^{\circ}$ and the numerical analysis and the oil flow method were conducted to understand flow fields near a sharp fin.

Numerical simulations of flows in an axisymmetric supersonic inlet with bleed regions were performed. For the simulations, the existing code which solves the RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) equations and 2-equation turbulence model equations was transformed to axisymmetric form and bleed boundary condition was applied to the code. In this paper, the modified code was validated by comparing the results against an experimental data and other computational results for flow on a bump and over an oblique shock with bleed region. Using the code, numerical simulations were performed for the flow in the inlet with multiple bleed regions.

Geometrical design variables are numerically investigated to improve aerodynamic performance of the supersonic impulse turbine of a turbopump in a liquid rocket engine. Aerodynamic redesign was performed for maximization of the blade power. Four design variables considered are blade angle, blade thickness and radii of upper and lower arc blade with appropriate constraints. A fast Navier-Stokes solver was developed and Chien's k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence modelling was used for turbulence closure. In initial shape, a flow separation was found in the middle of blade chord. However, it disappeared in final shape via its geometrical design variable change. About 3.2 percent of blade power was increased from this research.

A shock-wave in a supersonic flow can be theoretically determined by a given pressure ratio at upstream and downstream flowfields, and then the obtained shock-wave is stable in its position. Under the practical situation in which the shock-wave interacts with the boundary layer along a solid wall, it cannot, however, be stable even for the given pressure ratio being independent of time and oscillates around a time-mean position. In the present study, oscillations of a weak normal shock-wave in a supersonic diffuser were measured by a Line Image Sensor(LIS), and they were compared with the data of the wall pressure fluctuations at the foot of the shock-wave interacting with the wall boundary layer. LIS was incorporated into a conventional schlieren optical system and its signal, instantaneous displacement of the interacting shock-wave, was analyzed by a statistical method. The results show that the displacement of an oscillating shock-wave increase with the upstream Mach number and the dominant frequency components of the oscillating shock-wave are below 200 Hz. Measurements indicated that shock-wave oscillations may not entirely be caused by the boundary layer separation. The statistical properties of oscillations appeared, however, to be significantly affected by shock-induced separation of turbulent boundary layer.
