Abstract

Computational work using the axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes Equations is carried out to predict the discharge coefficient of mass flow through a micro-critical nozzle. Several kinds of turbulence models and wall functions are employed to validate the computational predictions. The computed results are compared with the previous experimented ones. The present computations predict the experimental discharge coefficients with a reasonable accuracy. It is found that the standard $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$turbulence model with the standard wall function gives a best prediction of the discharge coefficients. The displacement thickness of the nozzle wall boundary layer is evaluated at the nozzle throat and is well compared to a prediction obtained by an empirical equation. The resulting displacement thickness of the wall boundary layer is about 2% to 0.6% of the diameter of the nozzle throat for the Reynolds numbers of 2000 to 20000.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 임계노즐을 통한 유출계수를 예측하기 위하여, 축대칭, 압축성 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 사용한 수치계산을 수행하였다. 수치해의 적합성을 조사하기 위하여, 다양한 난류모델과 벽함수를 적용하였으며, 수치 결과들은 종래의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 수치계산법은 임계노즐을 통한 유출계수를 적절하게 예측하였으며, 특히 표준 $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$난류모델과 표준 벽함수를 적용한 경우에 유출계수를 가장 잘 예측함을 알았다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 얻어진 임계노즐벽면의 난류경계층의 배제두께는 레이놀즈수가 2000에서 20000의 범위에서 임계노즐목 직경의 약 2%에서 0.6%까지 변화하였으며, 종래의 경험식과 잘 일치하였다.
