The measured thrust could be distorted because of the transient response of thrust stand during combustion of rocket motor. As a result of the distorted thrust, it is not easy for us to know the values of thrust peak and thrust duration time. Therefore, it is of great importance to compute the true thrust from the measured thrust. In this study the method to eliminate the transient response from the measured thrust using only the measured thrust was Proposed, and also experimental data were used to approve the proposed method. The result showed that the proposed method would be available to compute the true thrust.

The ideal thrust function is used to determine the local thrust of supersonic combustor. Method of thrust determination from measured pressures are applied to the Mach 2.5 model supersonic combustor. In this application, measured pressures from the experiments in the University of Michigan are used to determine the local thrust of supersonic combustor. Marginal results of local thrust are obtained and discussed. Combustion and wedge affect thrust distributions in the upstream region significantly. The thrust determination from pressure measurements can be a simple, feasible and applicable method, especially when thrust stand is not available.

The determination of thrust is essential in design and evaluation of a hypersonic airbreathing propulsion device. Conventional methods to determine the thrust is using thrust stand or force measurement system. However, these conventional methos are not applicable to the case where thrusts stands are impractical, such as free jet testing of engines, and model combustor. For this reason, the thrust determination method from measured pitot pressure is considered and validated. Validation of thrust determination from pitot pressures can be achieved by comparing the actual thrust from thrust stand. For validation purpose, a small-scale supersonic wind tunnel is installed on the thrust stand. Thrusts are measured while pressures are measured simulaneously. Then, the thrust from pitot pressure measurements are compared with the measured thrust and theoretical thrusts.

리니어 모터 중에서 위치 정밀도가 우수하고 개루프 제어가 가능한 리니어 펄스모터(LPM : Linear Pulse Motor)에 대해 추력 성능 및 위치제어 정밀도 향상을 위해서 자기등가회로 모델링법에 의해 추력을 주로 계산하고 있다. 퍼미언스(Permeance) 모델법, 수치해석법(FEM), 속도 기전력법 등을 이용하여 자속밀도(B)를 구하는데 있어 해석적인 추력편차가 존재한다. 정확한 추력을 구하기 위해서는 이들 각각의 방법을 이용한 로렌츠 포스법(Lorentz Force Method), 자기수반 에너지법, Maxwell 응력법 등으로 추력을 계산하여 비교함으로써 모터용량, 파라미터 등의 각종 성능 비교시 중요 요소가 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 위의 방법으로 LPM의 추력을 수식화하여 값을 얻고, 실제 추력값을 측정하여 얻어진 값과 비교 분석하고자한다. 이러므로 보다 정확한 LPM 추력 계산 방법을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It is definitely important to measure thrust during ground test when developing air-breathing engine, and in case of air-breathing engine, gross thrust should be calculated considering not only the measured thrust but also the force induced by the air flow of engine intake. Also, side thrust like yaw and pitch should be measured and analyzed using multi-component thrust measurement system. Engine performance was accurately evaluated by calculating the gross thrust of air breathing engine precisely which is analyzed from below serial procedure: labyrinth seal isolation, 1-axis gross thrust calculation, develop multi-component thrust measurement system, and side thrust analysis.

To analyze flow characteristics of the side jet thruster with 4 shutters and rectangular nozzles, a 3-D simulation has been implemented. Numerical calculations for two rotation angles of the shutter, have been conducted. Internal recirculation in a chamber and asymmetric flow structure in a nozzle were observed. In addition, the more shutter rotated, the more asymmetries of flow increased, and this phenomena resulted in thrust bias. The degrees of thrust bias and thrust performance with the rotation angles of the shutter were predicted and compared with theoretical thrust.

The nozzle exit shape is scarfed according to the external shape of missile when the nozzle axis should be canted from missile axis due to missile system application. There is inevitable thrust loss for the scarfed nozzle comparing to non-scarfed nozzle. The numerical analysis is necessary to calculate the thrust loss in design process, and ground tests of rocket motor were performed to verify the calculation results. From the comparison of non-scarfed nozzle and scarfed nozzle experiment results, the thrust loss from calculation was about 16.6% and that from experiments was about 15.0%.

제트 베인에 의한 추력 방향 제어 장치는 롤 운동 제어를 가능하게 하고, 큰 선회 각도를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 기계 장치가 비교적 복잡하고, 제트 베인의 열적, 구조적 문제를 해결하여야 한다. 복잡한 기계 장치는 유동 해석의 측면에서 고려해 볼 때 격자 형성을 어렵게 만들어 유동장 해석을 통한 성능예측을 어렵게 만든다. 구조물의 응력해석을 위하여 제트 베인 표면에서의 정압력과 더불어 마찰력도 고려하여야 하는데, 정확한 마찰력 계산을 위해서는 난류 모델링이 필수적이고, 그에 따라 벽면 근처에서 격자를 밀접시키는 것이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유동해석 소프트웨어인 Fluent를 사용하여 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 3차원 난류 유동장 계산을 수행하였다. 피치, 요 운동의 경우와 롤 운동의 경우로 구분하여 계산하였으며, 최대 받음각을 $25^{\cire}$ 로 하여 제트 베인의 받음각에 따라 회전축에 작용하는 힘과 모멘트를 계산하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 개발될 제트 베인이 장착된 추력 방향 제어 장치의 개념설계 단계에 필요한 기본자료로서 신뢰도를 높이는데 도움이 되리라 판단된다.
