Abstract

A theoretical study of spray and combustion characteristics due to coaxial twin-fluid injection is conducted to investigate the effects of liquid jet property, droplet size, contact length and liquid jet velocity. Model is properly validated with measurements and shows good agreement. Prediction of jet contact length, droplet size, liquid jet velocity reflects genuine features of coaxial injection in physical and practical aspects. Both the jet contact length and tile droplet size are reduced in a linear manner with an increase of injector diameter. Cross sectional area of liquid intact core is reduced with augmented jet splitting rate, thus the jet is accelerated to maintain the mass continuity and with an assistant of momentum diffusion by burnt gas.

액체로켓엔진에 사용되는 2-유체 동축형 분사기의 분무 연소 특성을 수치적으로 해석하였다. 가스 역학적 상호작용에 의한 미립화 및 그에 따른 물리 현상들에 대해 유동에 대한 보존방정식과 이론식들을 적용, 수치화하여 액체 제트의 상태, 제트의 속도, 제트의 붕괴길이, 액적의 크기등을 예측 하였으며, 액체제트 분사공 크기에 따른 미립화의 변화를 고찰하였다. 모델 검증을 위하여 액체 제트의 접촉길이와 액적의 크기를 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였으며, 그 결과 정성적으로 일치함을 나타내었다. 액체 제트의 접촉길이는 분사공의 직경이 증가할수록 짧아지고 액적의 크기도 분사공의 직경이 증가할수록 작아진다. 액체 제트는 박리율 증가에 따른 분무화에 의하여 단면적이 감소되며, 그에 따른 질량유속의 보존과 가스로부터의 운동량 화산에 따라 미립화가 활발해지는 영역으로부터 그 속도가 급속히 증가된다.
