Two-dimensional blow-down type supersonic wind tunnel was designed and built to investigate the transient behavior of the startup of a supersonic flow from rest. The contour of the divergent part of the nozzle was determined by the MOC calculation. The converging part of the nozzle, upstream of fille throat was contoured to make the flow uniform at the throat. The flow characteristics of the steady supersonic condition were visualized using the high-speed schlieren photography. The Mach number was evaluated from the oblique shock wave angle on a sharp wedge with halt angle of 5 degree. The measured Mach number was 2.4 and was slightly less than the value predicted by the design calculation. The initial transient behavior of the nozzle was recorded by a high-speed digital video camera with schlieren technique. The measured transition time from standstill to a steady supersonic flow was estimated by analyzing the serial images. Typical transition time was approximately 0.1sec.

A supersonic dual coaxial jet has been employed popularly for various industrial purposes, such as gasdynamic laser, supersonic ejector, noise control and enhancement of mixing. Detailed characteristics of supersonic dual coaxial jets issuing from an inner supersonic nozzle and outer sonic nozzles with various ejection angles are experimentally investigated. Three important parameters, such as pressure ratios of the inner and outer nozzles, and outer nozzle ejection angle, are chosen for a better understanding of jet structures in the present study. The results obtained from the present experimental study show that the Mach disk diameter becomes smaller, and the Mach disk moves toward the nozzle exit, and the length of the first shock cell decreases with the pressure ratio of the outer nozzle. It was also found that the highly underexpanded outer jet produces a new oblique shock wave, which makes jet structure much more complicated. On the other hand the outer jet ejection angle affects the structure of the inner jet structure less than the pressure ratio of the outer nozzle, relatively.

Thrust vector control using a coflow-counterflow concept is achieved by suction and blowing through a slot adjacent to a primary jet which is shrouded by a suction collar. In the present study, the flow characteristics of thrust vectoring is investigated using a numerical method. The nozzle has a design Mach number of 2.0, and the operation pressure ratio is varied to obtain various flow features of the nozzle flow. Test conditions are in the range of the nozzle pressure ratio from 6.0 to 10.0, and a suction pressure from 90kPa to 35kPa. Two-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes computations are conducted with RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. The computational results provide an understanding of the detailed physics of the thrust vectoring process. It is found that an increase in the nozzle pressure ratio leads to increased thrust efficiency but reduces the thrust vector angle.

본 연구는 최소 압력 모사로 엔진 배기가스를 배출시키기 위한 최적 이젝터 크기를 결정하기 위한 것을 목적으로 한다. 실험 챔버로 유입되는 2차 냉각 공기는 유량제어 밸브들과 진공펌프가 장착된 배출구를 통해 엔진배기가스는 분리되어 배출된다. 기존 고도시험 장치와 달리, 본 연구에 제안한 형상은 기존 이젝터의 압력 회복을 개선한 좀 더 작은 포획 면적을 가진 배기 이젝트를 사용하면 가스에 스텔링 챔버로 부터 20% 냉각 공기를 부가하여 배출시키도록 크기가 정해진다. 제안된 형상은 벨마우스 이젝터와 엔진배기 출구의 면적비가 이론적으로 약 1.2를 갖는다. 제안된 형상의 혼합 공기 모사결과에 따르면 큰 에너지는 기존 시스템 비해 좀 더 개선된 압력 회복과 감소된 전력 소모를 같음을 확인하였다.

For the sea-level performance test of rocket motor designed to operate in the upper atmosphere, ejectors with no induced secondary flow are generally used, which serves dual purposes of evacuating the test cell and performing as a supersonic exhaust diffuser (SED). The main concern of this research is to simulate starting transients in order to visualize evolution of internal shock structures in SED with different initial cell (vacuum chamber) pressures. RANS code with low Reynolds $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model was employed for these computations. Numerical results were compared with the pressure measurements previously performed [Proceedings of 2004 Annual Conference, KIMST], and showed good agreements with pressure-time history of measured data. In the case of low vacuum chamber pressure, abrupt impingement of the under-expanded supersonic jet from the nozzle onto the diffuser wall was observed, whereas initial impingement point was located downstream and moved slowly upstream in the case of non-vacuum chamber pressure. In spite of initially dissimilar evolution of shock structures, iso-mach contour revealed that the steady shock structures had little difference except the location of flow separation and normal shock.

The ejector is a device which employs a high-velocity primary motive fluid to entrain and accelerate a slower moving secondary suction fluid. The resulting kinetic energy of the mixture is subsequently used for self-compression to a higher pressure, thus performing the function of a compressor. The outstanding advantages of the ejectors are simplicity and reliability. However the industrial use of ejectors has been confined mainly to very particular cases of operation. The experimental results obtained so far were insufficient to be made use of general cases. Large-sized modern ejectors, mainly driven by high powered air-compressors and designed for very wide ranges of operating conditions, cannot be based on the earlier research results, if we wish to be sure of the final outcome.

In general, flow entrainment of surrounding gas into a supersonic jet is caused by the pressure drop inside the jet and the shear actions between the jet and the surrounding gas. In the recent industrial applications, like supersonic ejector system or scramjet engine, the rapid mixing of two different gases is important in that it determines the whole performance of the flow system. However, the mixing performance of the conventional circular jet is very low because the shear actions are not enough. The supersonic jet discharging from a petal nozzle is known to enhance mixing effects with the surrounding gas because it produces strong longitudinal vortices due to the velocity differences from both the major and minor axes of petal nozzle. This study aims to enhance the mixing performance of the jet with surrounding gas by using the lobed petal nozzle. The jet flows from the petal nozzle are compared with those from the conventional circular nozzle. The petal nozzles employed are 4, 6, and 8 lobed shapes with a design Mach number of 1.7 each, and the circular nozzle has the same design Mach number. The pitot impact pressures are measured in detail to specify the jet flows. For flow visualization, the schlieren optical method is used. The experimental results reveal that the petal nozzle reduces the supersonic length of the supersonic jet, and leads to the improved mixing performance compared with the conventional circular jet.

고압의 공기를 노즐을 통하여 가속시켜. 노즐 출구로부터 방출하는 경우 제트 경계부근에서 발생하는 강한 전단작용과 제트 내부에서 발생하는 압력강하로 인하여 주변의 기체가 제트유동으로 유입하게 된다. 이러한 원리를 응용한 대표적 유체기계로 이젝터를 들 수 있다. 최근 이젝터 시스템은 각종 플랜트 시설, 냉공조 시설, 고도시뮬레이션 장치뿐만 아니라 건설장비 등에까지 다양하게 응용되고 있다.(중략)
