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.

Dual bell nozzle is one of the most promising choices among the altitude adaptation nozzles. This facilitates having a forced, steady and symmetrical separation at lower altitudes and a controlled flow separation at the wall inflection point which prevents the generation of dangerous side loads. In order to ensure the attached flow in the second bell, a clear understanding of the flow transition is required. Hence the motivation of our study is to arrive at an optimum profile for the second bell, which allows a sudden and controlled transition. In this work, we designed the first bell using the conventional MoC and the second bell using an inverse MoC, imposing a pressure gradient constraint. A CFD analysis is also carried out. It is found that the separation point is near the inflection point within one fourth of the extension length or it is near the exit.

An assessment of two-equation turbulence models, the low Reynolds k-${\varepsilon}$ and k-${\omega}$ SST models, with the compressibility corrections proposed by Sarkar and Wilcox, has been performed. The compressibility models are evaluated by investigating transonic or supersonic flows, including the arc-bump, transonic diffuser, supersonic jet impingement, and unsteady supersonic diffuser. A unified implicit finite volume scheme, consisting of mass, momentum, and energy conservation equations, is used, and the results are compared with experimental data. The model accuracy is found to depend strongly on the flow separation behavior. An MPI (Message Passing Interface) parallel computing scheme is implemented.

본 연구에서는 초음속 영역에서의 해머헤드형 노즈 페어링을 포함하고 있는 발사체 선두부에 대한 RANS 전산해석을 수행하였다. 층류, 완전 난류, 천이 모델을 이용한 2차원 축대칭 해석을 수행하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 레이놀즈수의 변화에 따라서 다른 유동현상이 나타남을 확인하였다. 높은 레이놀즈수에서는 경계층이 난류가 되어 발사체 표면에서 박리가 되지 않는다. 낮은 레이놀즈수 조건에서는 해머헤드형 노즈 페어링의 팽창-압축 모서리에서 경계층의 박리와 재부착으로 층류 박리 거품이 만들어진다. 받음각이 있는 3차원 계산에서 층류 박리 거품으로 발생되는 와류 구조를 확인할 수 있었다. 레이놀즈수에 따른 박리 거품을 예측하기 위해서 난류 천이를 고려해야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Several previous works on rocket nozzle flows have revealed the existence of the transition from FSS to RSS and the occurrence of asymmetric flow associated with the boundary layer separation, which can cause excessive side-loads of the propulsion system. Thus, it is of practical importance to investigate the asymmetric flow behaviors of the propulsion nozzle and to develop its control method. In the present study, the asymmetric flow control method using a cavity system was applied to supersonic nozzle flow. Time-dependent asymmetric flow was experimentally investigated with the rate of change of the nozzle pressure ratio. The results obtained showed that the cavity system installed on nozzle wall would be helpful in fixing the unsteady motions of the boundary layer separation, consequently reducing the possibility of the occurrence of the asymmetric flow.

초음속 디퓨져에서 천이구간에 대해서 수치적 기법에 의한 분석을 수행하였다. 수치기법으로는 초음속 디퓨져의 내부유동해석을 위하여 2차원 축대칭 Navier-Stokes equation와 $k-{\epsilon}$ 난류모델을 사용하였으며, 로켓엔진 연소실의 천이 구간의 압력변화에 따라서 디퓨져 내부의 마하수 및 진공챔버의 온도 분포를 비교 검토하였다. 초음속 디퓨져의 작동과정에서 진공챔버 내부에 연소가스가 유입되어지고 이러한 현상에 따라서 진공챔버 내부의 압력 및 온도가 상승하는 결과를 확인하였다. 이러한 유동현상에 따라서 천이과정에서 압력 및 온도 상승을 방지하는 시스템이 필요하다.

Determination of geometric design parameters of a second-throat type annual supersonic ejector is described. Tested geometric parameters were primary nozzle area ratio, cross-sectional area of second-throat, L/D ratio of second-throat and primary flow injection angle. Varying these four geometric parameters, we build a test matrix made of 81 test conditions, and experimental apparatus was fabricated to accommodate them. For each test condition, the stagnation pressure of primary flow and the static pressure of the secondary flow were measured simultaneously along with their transition to steady operation and finally to unstarting condition. Comparing the performance curve of every case focused on starting pressure, the unstarting pressure and the minimum secondary pressure, we could derive correlations that the parameters have on the performance of the ejector and presented the optimal design method of the ejector. Additional experiments were carried out to find effects of temperature and mass flow rate of the secondary flow.

Supersonic ejectors are simple mechanical components, which generally perform mixing and/or recompression of two fluid streams. Ejectors have found many applications in engineering. In aerospace engineering, they are used for altitude testing of a propulsion system by reducing the pressure of a test chamber. It is composed of three major sections: a vacuum test chamber, a propulsive nozzle, and a supersonic exhaust diffuser. This paper aims at the improvement of ejector-diffuser performance by focusing attention on reducing exhaust back flow into the test chamber, since alteration of the backflow or recirculation pattern appears as one of the potential means of significantly improving low supersonic ejector-diffuser performance. The simplest backflow-reduction device was an orifice plate at the duct inlet, which would pass the jet and entrained fluid but impede the movement of fluid upstream along the wall. Results clearly showed that the performance of ejector-diffuser system was improved for certain a range of system pressure ratios, where as there was no appreciable transition in the performance for lower pressure ratios and the orifice plate was detrimental to the ejector performance for higher pressure ratios. It is found that an appropriately sized orifice system should produce considerable improvement in the ejector-diffuser performance in the intended range of pressure ratios.

The complex, unsteady, self-sustained pressure oscillations induced by supersonic flow past a rectangular cavity is investigated using numerical simulations. The present numerical study is performed using a parallel, multiblock solver for the two-dimensional, compressible Navier­Stokes equations. Open cavities with length-to-depth (L / D) ratio in the range 0.5 - 3.3 are considered. This paper sheds light on the cavity physics, cavity oscillatory mechanism, and the organisation of vortical structures inside the cavity. The vortex shedding phenomenon, the shear layer impingement event at the aft wall and the movement of the acoustic/compression wave within the cavity are well predicted. The vortical structures· and the source of the acoustic disturbances are found to be located near the aft wall of the cavity. With the increase in the cavity length, strong recompression of the flow near the aft wall leading to a sudden jump in the cavity form drag is observed. The estimated cavity tones are in good agreement with the available semi­empirical relation. Multiple peaks are noticed in deep and long cavities. For the present free­stream Mach number 1.71, it is observed that around L/D=2.0, the cavity oscillatory mechanism changes from the transverse to longitudinal oscillatory mode. The effects of this transition on various fluid dynamics and acoustic properties are also discussed.

본 연구는 Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV) 기법을 이용하여 마하수 2.96의 평판에 대해 층류, 천이, 난류 경계층의 속도 분포를 측정하였다. Schlieren 가시화 기법과 PIV 기법을 이용하여 앞전에서 발생한 경사 충격파가 평판 위의 유동장에 영향을 주는지 확인하였다. 층류 경계층의 경우, 실험에서 측정한 속도 분포가 압축성 Blasius 속도 분포를 만족하였다. 천이 경계층의 속도 분포는 벽면 부근부터 이론적인 난류 속도 분포로 변했으며, Re = $1.41{\times}10^6$에서 천이가 시작되었다. 난류 경계층 영역에서는 압축성 효과를 고려한 Van Driest 변환 속도가 비압축성 로그 법칙을 만족하였다. 또한 로그 구간이 끝나는 위치($y/{\delta}{\approx}0.28$)가 비압축성 난류 경계층($y/{\delta}{\approx}0.2$)에 비해 벽면에서 더 멀어진 것을 확인하였다.
