Operation area of corps was expanded under military reformation, and extending range of 155 mm howitzer became important issue. New approach is needed to extend range to 80 kim. Ramjet engine is air breathing engine, and it can provide specific impulse several times more than solid rocket motor so that range is extended using same weight of propellant. If the ramjet engine is gun-launched system, it does not require any other booster because muzzle velocity is near Mach 3. Especially solid fuel ramjet (SFRJ) does not have any moving part so that it is favorable for gun-launching system which is under high stress during launching. In this paper, we design air intake, combustion chamber, and nozzle of 155 mm gun launched ramjet propelled artillery shell with inviscid flow assumption. We conduct parameter study to have range more than 80 km, and maximum high explosive volume.

The present work develops a method of evaluating thrust deduction and wake for different loads of the propeller using the concerted application of the theoretical tools and experimental techniques. It also shows the applicability of the new method to the design of optimum hull form. Firstly, the problem of hull-propeller interaction was analyzed in terms of inviscid as well as viscous components of the thrust deduction and wake. The wavemaking resistance of a hull and propeller were mathematically represented by sources on the hull surface and sink on the propeller plane, respectively. The strength of sink was determined by utilizing the radial distributions of propeller load and nominal wake. The resistance increment due to a propeller and the axial perturbation flow induced by the hull in the propeller plane were calculated. Especially, the inviscid component of the thrust deduction was calculated by subtraction the wavemaking resistance of a bare hull, the wavemaking resistance of a free-running propeller and the augmentation of propeller resistance due to hull action from the wavemaking resistance of the hull with a propeller. The viscous components of the thrust deduction and wake were estimated as functions of propeller load which were established by the propeller load varying test after deduction the calculated inviscid components. Secondly, an analysis method of powering performance was developed based on the potential theory and the propeller load varying test. The hybrid method estimates the thrust deduction, wake and propeller open-water efficiency for different propeller load. This method can be utilized in the analysis of powering performance for the propeller load variation such as the added resistance due to hull surface roughness, the added resistance due to wind, etc. Finally, the hybrid method was applied to the optimum design of hull form. A series of afterbody shapes was obtained by systematically varying the waterplane and section shapes of a parent afterbody without changing the principal dimensions, block coefficient and prismatic coefficient. From the comparison of the predicted results such as wavemaking resistance, thrust deduction, wake and delivered power, an optimum hull form was obtained. The delivered power of the optimized hull form was reduced by 5.7% which was confirmed by model tests. Also the predicted delivered power by the hybrid method shows fairly good agreement with the test result. It is therefore considered that the new analysis method of powering performance can be utilized as a practical tool for the design of optimum hull form as for the analysis of powering performance for the propeller load variation in the preliminary design stage.

Secondary flows have a huge impact on losses generation in modern low pressure gas turbines (LPTs). At design point, the interaction of the blade profile with the end-wall boundary layer is responsible for up to 40% of total losses. Therefore, predicting accurately the end-wall flow field in a LPT is extremely important in the industrial design phase. Since the inlet boundary layer profile is one of the factors which most affects the evolution of secondary flows, the first main objective of the present work is to investigate the impact of two different inlet conditions on the end-wall flow field of the T106A, a well known LPT cascade. The first condition, labeled in the paper as C1, is represented by uniform conditions at the inlet plane and the second, C2, by a flow characterized by a defined inlet boundary layer profile. The code used for the simulations is based on the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) formulation and solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations coupled with the Spalart Allmaras turbulence model. Secondly, this work aims at estimating the influence of viscosity and turbulence on the T106A end-wall flow field. In order to do so, RANS results are compared with those obtained from an inviscid simulation with a prescribed inlet total pressure profile, which mimics a boundary layer. A comparison between C1 and C2 results highlights an influence of secondary flows on the flow field up to a significant distance from the end-wall. In particular, the C2 end-wall flow field appears to be characterized by greater over turning and under turning angles and higher total pressure losses. Furthermore, the C2 simulated flow field shows good agreement with experimental and numerical data available in literature. The C2 and inviscid Euler computed flow fields, although globally comparable, present evident differences. The cascade passage simulated with inviscid flow is mainly dominated by a single large and homogeneous vortex structure, less stretched in the spanwise direction and closer to the end-wall than vortical structures computed by compressible flow simulation. It is reasonable, then, asserting that for the chosen test case a great part of the secondary flows details is strongly dependent on viscous phenomena and turbulence.

In this paper, the convergence characteristics of preconditioned multigrid methods are investigated.

Theoretical fourier analyses and numerical results are presented for the preconditioners.

The unsteady flow analysis of staging system is conducted. This study focuses on comparing the results of two different governing equations between Euler equations and Navier-Stokes equations. The Chimera grid scheme is applied to moving simulations for unsteady flow analysis with dynamic simulation. As a result, it is certified that inviscid simulation have capabilities enough to analyze the present staging problem.

The objective of this paper is to study two dimensional steady gravitational waves on the interface between two immiscible, inviscid and incompressible fluids bounded above by a horizontal rigid boundary and below by a rigid step. A KdV equation for the first order perturbation in an asymptotic expansion can appear. However the coefficient of the KdV theory fails in that case. By a unified asymptotic method, we overcome this difficulty and derive a modified KdV equation with forcing. We find homogeneous steady solutions and present numerical solutions.

Viscous analysis on incompressible flows is performed using unstructured triangular meshes. A two-dimensional and axisymmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved in time-marching form by artificial compressibility method. The governing equations are discretized by a cell-centered based finite-volume method. and a centered scheme is used for inviscid and viscous fluxes with fourth order artificial dissipation. An explicit multi-stage Runge-Kutta method is used for the time integration with local time stepping and implicit residual smoothing. Convergence properties are examined and solution accuracies are also validated with benchmark solution and experiment.

A method for performing two-dimensional lift-constraint drag minimization in inviscid compressible flows on unstructured meshes is developed. Sensitivities of objective function with respect to the design variables are efficiently obtained by using a continuous adjoint method. In addition, parallel algorithm is used in multi-point design optimization to enhance the computational efficiency. The characteristics of single-point and multi-point optimization are examined, and the comparison of these two method is presented.
