Abstract

Acoustic behavior in combustion chamber with acoustoc cavity is numerically investigated by adopting linear acoustic analysis. Helmholtz-type resonator is employed as a cavity model to suppress acoustic instability passively. The tuning frequency of acoustic cavity is adjusted by varying the sound speed in acoustic cavity. Through harmonic analysis, acoustic pressure responses of chamber to acoustic oscillating excitation are shown and the resonant acoustic modes are identified. Acoustic damping effect of acoustic cavity is quantified by damping factor. As the tuning frequency approaches the target frequency of the resonant mode to be suppressed, mode split from the original resonant mode to lower and upper modes appears and thereby damping effect is degraded significantly. Considering mode split and damping effect as a function of tuning frequency, it is desirable to make acoustic cavity tuned to maximum frequency of those of the possible splitted upper modes.

음향불안정을 억제하는 수동제어기구중 하나인 음향공의 음향학적 효과를 파악하기 위해, 음향공이 장착된 로켓엔진 연소실의 음향장 특성을 수치해석적으로 조사하였다. 음향공 모델로서 Helmholtz 형태의 공명기가 채택되었고, 조화해석을 통해 주로 음향공에 의해 야기되는 음향학적 효과를 관찰하였다. 음향공의 음속을 조정하여 동조주파수를 변화시켜가면서 가진음원에 대한 연소실의 음향진동 응답을 구하고, 제1접선방향 음향모드의 감쇠인자를 구하였다. 동조주파수가 제1접선방향 음향모드의 공진주파수에 접근함에 따라 모드분할 현상이 나타났고, 이로인해 음향공을 본래의 제1접선방향 음향모드에 동조시키더라도 음향감쇠효과가 저하됨을 알았다. 모드분할 현상과 분할된 각 모드의 감쇠인자 및 음향 에너지 분포를 고려하였으며, 이를 토대로 효과적인 감쇠를 위해서는, 억제하고자 하는 음향모드로부터 모드분할 현상이 나타나지 않으면서 그 음향모드의 감쇠효과를 극대화하도록 음향공을 동조시키는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있었다.
