Ramjet 엔진에서 Ramjet 입구의 초음속 유동에 의한 압축과정은 연소기내로 유입되는 공기의 온도를 상승시킨다. 따라서 고도와 비행조건에 따라 변하는 실제비행조건을 모사하기 위해서는 공기의 온도와 속도를 정확하게 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 Vitiated Air Heater를 제작하여 공기, 수소, 산소의 안을 변화시키면서 Vitiated Air Heater 연소가스(Vitiated Air)의 온도분포와 속도분포, 그리고 연소가스 성분을 측정함으로써 Vitiated Air Heater의 성능을 평가하였다. 그 결과 Ramjet 엔진의 지상실험범위에 요구되는 Ramjet 연소기 입구의 유입 속도범위(80~120 ㎧)와 온도범위(400~800 K)를 만족하였으며, 균일한 속도 및 온도분포로 대기공기와 같은 산소성분비를 가지는 Vitiated hir를 얻을 수 있었다.

Flows in a ramjet inlet is simulated for the study of the rocket-ramjet transition. The flow is unsteady, two-dimensional axisymmetric, compressible and turbulent. Double time marching method is used for the unsteady calculation and HLLC method is used as a higher order MUSCL method. As for turbulent calculation, $\kappa-\omega$ SST model is used for more accurate viscous calculations. Sinusoidal pressure perturbation is given at the exit and the flow fields at the inlet is studied. The cruise condition as well as the ground test condition are considered. The pressure level for the ground test condition is relatively low and the effect of the pressure perturbation at the combustion chamber is small. The normal shock at the cruise condition is very sensitive to the pressure perturbation and can be easily detached from the cowl when the exit pressure is relatively high. The sudden decrease in the mass flux is observed when the inlet flow becomes subcritical, which can make the inlet incapable. The amplitude of travelling pressure waves becomes larger as the downstream pressure increases, and the wavelength becomes shorter as Mach number increases. The phase difference of the travelling perturbed pressure wave in space is 180 degree.

A numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the inlet buzz and combustion oscillation in an axisymmetric ramjet engine with wedge-type flame holders. The physical model of concern includes the entire engine flow path, extending from the leading edge of the inlet center-body through the exhaust nozzle. The theoretical formulation is based on the Farve-averaged conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and species concentration, and accommodates finite-rate chemical kinetics and variable thermo-physical properties. Turbulence closure is achieved using a combined scheme comprising of a low-Reynolds number k-${\varepsilon}$ two-equation model and Sarkar's compressible turbulence model. Detailed flow phenomena such as inlet flow aerodynamics, flame evolution, and acoustic excitation as well as their interactions, are investigated. Mechanisms responsible for driving the inlet buzz are identified and quantified for the engine operating at subcritical conditions.

A numerical analysis is performed using two dimensional axisymmetric RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) equations system on the transition sequence of the Integrated Rocket Ramjet and the unsteady reacting flow-field in a ramjet combustor during unstable combustion. The mode transition of an axisymmetric ramjet is numerically simulated starting from the initial condition of the boost end phase of the entire ramjet. The unsteady reacting flow-field within combustor is computed for varying injection area. In calculation results of the transition, the terminal normal shock is occurred at the downstream of diffuser throat section and no notable combustor pressure oscillation is observed after certain time of the inlet port cover open. For the case of a small injection area at the same equivalence ratio, periodic pressure oscillation in the combustor leads to the terminal shock expulsion from the inlet and hence the buzz instability occurred.

The combustion efficiency of the solid fuel ramjet is affected by the inlet air temperature. And this inlet air temperature is dependent on the flight Mach number and the environment air temperature. If the flight altitude is changeable, the inlet air temperature and the air density also vary. The performance efficiency is investigated with this variables related to the combustion efficiency.

Three-dimensional flow characteristics in a liquid fuel ramjet combustor were investigated using the PIV method. The combustor has two rectangular inlets that loin a 90-degree angle each other. Three cases of test combustors are made in which those inlet angles are 30 degree, 45degree and 60 degree. The experiments were performed in a water tunnel test with the same Reynolds number as Mach 0.3 at the inlet. PIV software was developed to measure the characteristics of the flow field in the combustor. Accuracy of the developed PIV program was verified with a rotating disk experiment and standard data. The characteristics of the internal flows of the combustor are large swirling flows which appear symmetric with respect to the symmetric section. This is attributed to the fact that the flows introduced from the right and left intakes collide with each other, thus forming symmetrically large vortices. A large and complex three-dimensional recirculating flow was measured behind the intakes. An inlet angle of 30 degrees is the most suitable angle as a frame he]der in the performed experimental ranges.

In IRR(Integral Rocket-Ramjet), the booster is integrated into the ramjet combustor. Such combustors do not contain combustor liners or flame holders within the combustor due to the limited volume and flame stabilization depends on the recirculation zones formed by the sudden expansion region between the inlet duct and the combustor. A numerical study was conducted on the effect of flame holder which could be added to the inlet duct of IRR. Two different types of flame holder installations, flame holder without sudden expansion region and flame holder with small sudden expansion region, were compared and showed different flame shapes and pressure rise in the combustor.

PIV 방법을 이용하여 액체 램제트 연소실 내부의 유동 특성을 측정하였다. 연소기는 2개의 사각 단면의 유입구가 90도의 각도를 가지고 있으며, 유입각이 $30^{\circ},\;45^{\circ},\;60^{\circ}$의 3가지 경우를 연소실 실험 모형으로 제작하였다. 실험은 유입구에서의 속도가 마하 0.3의 경우로 레이놀즈 상사를 적용하여 수조에서 실험을 수행하였다. PIV 프로그램은 자체 개발하였다. 4가지의 돔 크기에 대하여 돔에서 생성되는 복잡한 1차 재순환 유동을 측정하였다. 실험한 범위에서 돔의 크기는 연소실 직경의 1/3정도가 적당한 것으로 판단되며 유입각은 작을수록 재순환 영역이 커짐을 알 수 있으나 최적의 연소기 형상은 2차 재순환 영역과 함께 고려되어야 한다.

Three dimensional flow characteristics in a liquid fuel ramjet combustor are investigated using PIV method. The combustors have two rectangular inlets that form 90 degree each other. Three guide vane is installed in each rectangular inlet to improve the flow stability. We made three cases of test combustors in which those inlet angles are 30 degree, 45 degree and 60 degree. Each combustor easily changes the size of combustor's recirculation zone with the replacement of combustors dome. The experiments are performed in the water tunnel test with the same Reynolds number in the case of Mach 0.3 at inlet. PIV software is developed to measure the flow field in the combustor and the accuracy of developed PIV program is verified with rotating disk experiment and standard data. The experimental results show that the two main streams from rectangular inlet collide near the plane of symmetry and generate two large longitudinal vortex, A large and complex three-dimensional recirculating flow is measured in the recirculation zone.
