    Interaction experiments were conducted in which the condition of the interacting states were independently changed using the originally developed "Counter-Driver Shock Tube". As a result of conducting the interaction experiments in which the shock wave Mach number, the turbulent flow Mach number, and the interaction distance were independently changed, it was shown that the interaction distance had a great influence on the deformation of the shock wave front, and the conventional concept of dealing with a steady state was found insufficient to describe the observed phenomena. From the experimental results, we were able to show the importance of introducing non-stationarity. It was shown that when the shock wave Mach number was relatively low and the turbulent Mach number was high, the shock wave front disappeared in the Schlieren image when the interaction distance was about 10 times or more of the integral scale. This fact was well explained by a model based on the Riemann problem.

    Space debris, in particular, cm-sized debris are important issue of space development. We performed a conceptual study for the deorbit mission by laser ablation with a high-intensity space-laser system. Among the steps of the deorbit operation of space debris, we performed the experiment of step 1; detection and step 2; tracking in the laboratory with 1/10 scale model of EUSO telescope. In addition, the optimization study revealed that the deorbit mission can work optimal condition in the sun-synchronous orbit, which can always stay in the twilight with the altitude of 600-900 km. Furthermore, we examined the ablation response for various debris materials and the way of the suppression of the rotation of them.

    In this study, we aimed in understanding mechanisms of supersonic flow modulation by artificial disturbances, and in developing their applications to supersonic flight. A counter-driver shock tube with a 120 mm * 120 mm square-cross-section was developed so that experiments of shock wave-turbulence interaction became possible. As a result, it was experimentally demonstrated that the longer the propagation distance the more the shock wave surface became disturbed, thereby leading to the topological transition of the wave front. Moreover, by introducing repetitive laser energy pulses on to Mach 1.9 flow, the shock wave oscillation experienced frequency modulation to a low frequency regime so that total pressure loss was reduced in a supersonic duct.

    This study aimed in investigating the ion beam energy characteristics and ion beam current characteristics to optimize operation condition in helicon electrostatic thruster (HEST), which was an originally-developed, high-power, large-payload space propulsion thruster. With a low propellant flow rate, a ring anode whose inner diameter equaled that of the helicon plasma source exit yielded the best performance. In this case, the inner surface of the anode acted a primary role in the electrostatic acceleration. When the anode inner diameter bacome larger, the contribution of its side surface became larger; the electrostatic acceleration performance was much degraded when the side surface was covered with an insulator.

    In this study, experimental simulation method of evaluating overpressure variation induced by a blast wave interacting with turbulent flow was developed. The blast wave was generated using a 0.51-gram power. The turbulent flow was generated with an electrical fan, duct and grid. Overpressure histories were measured using four microphones set symmetrically. A 40 % standard deviation in overpressure was obtained, thereby demonstrating spatiotemporal behavior as the result of the shock wave-turbulence interaction.

    An in-situ forming technique of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites is studied, in which impregnation and lamination processes are operated simultaneously in a single manufacturing process. For this purpose, a manufacturing device which consists mainly of a diode laser and a compaction roller is developed. The results show that the bending modulus and strength of CFRTP fabricated by the present manufacturing device are as high as the ones obtained by a conventional hot press machine. A three-dimensional visualization method with high-speed stereo cameras is developed to analyze the deformation dynamics of CFRTP during the impact fracture. The obtained results suggest that the interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber (CF) and resin, and the property of resin strongly affect the impact fracture processes. Based on this observation, a new surface treatment for CF improving the impact strength is proposed for future application.

    We have developed a shock tube with two counter drivers the condition to each of which can be set independently. From three criteria, (1) the effective diaphragm rupture time and associated shock wave formation distance, (2) pressure loss and flow uniformity, and (3) temporal jitter in the diaphragm rupture control were adopted to evaluate the driver performance. As the result, the device using an pneumatic cylinder was employed, thereby demonstration experiments including those for shock wave-turbulence interaction were conducted.

    A new Mach-Zehnder interferometer, in which two interferograms with different wavelengths are imaged onto a single plate, has been developed. As light sources, semi-conductor lasers with the respective wavelengths of 473 nm and 593 nm are used. A dual-band-path filter is used to eliminate the effect of emission from ionized gas.The two-dimensional density distributions of heavy particles and electrons are obtained through digital data processing. Demonstration measurement was conducted with laser-pulse-generated plasma in a chamber of 350 mm in diameter and 400 mm in length, thereby obtaining a heavy particle density of 5×1025m-3and a degree of ionization of 10 % in the axi-symmetric field.

The following results were obtained: (1) Utilizing the momentum production from the interaction between a shock wave and a laser-heated bubble, a wave drag reduction of higher than 20 % and an efficiency of energy deposition of 10 (1000%) were obtained. (2) It was demonstrated that boundary layer separation could be suppressed by the laser energy deposition onto shock wave-boundary interaction region. (3) A standard deviation of one order in magnitude larger than the average decrement in post-shock overpressure modulation past turbulence was obtained, thereby demonstrating the possibility of strongly influencing pressure fields even through weak spatiotemporal inputs.

    In this study, we conducted impact tests and investigated the effects of projectile materials on impact phenomena of CFRP by using three-dimensional (3D) measurement under high-velocity projectile impact. The following two were mainly revealed: the first is that
    (1) the ballistic limit range was affected by the kinetic energy of the projectile and this kinetic energy was proportional to the diameter of the projectile. When projectile was deformed, its deformation energy was not negligible small. The second is that
    (2) the main mechanism of energy absorption in CFRPs is their deformation. CFRPs, consisting of high-strength carbon fiber having large-failure-strain and deformable resin, could absorb large kinetic energy of a projectile. We can find a large trend that highly energy dissipated resins tended to show lower thrust-forces. Both of high resistivity against impact and easy-machining can be compatible in a CFRP.

    本研究では,マッハ数2の超音速流れ中に置かれたトランケーティドコーン(円錐台,以下T-cone)の先端にレーザーパルスによるエネルギーを繰返し付与し,抗力低減と節約推進パワーが付与パワー量を上回る条件が両立する作動を実証し,今後の民間超音速飛行の実現に向けて一つの好材料を提供することを目標としている。平成21年度の実験は,JAXA宇宙科学研究本部(以下ISAS/JAXA)の超音速風洞を使用したが,天秤の分解能が本研究の目的のためには不測していることが判明し,抗力軽減特性データを取得できなかった。そこで,今年度は名古屋大学の吸込み風洞を用いて実験した。平成21年度末に繰返し周波数100kHzのパルスレーザーが導入されたので,それを活用して高繰返し効果によるバーチャルスパイク形成の実証と抗力軽減特性を取得した。高繰返しレーザーパルスを,風洞のBK7窓を通して試験部に導入し,モデルの内部を通さず直接モデル前方に集光させた。モデル形状(面積比,頂角)を固定し,レーザーパルスエネルギーと繰返し周波数を制御変数として,レーザーパワー付与したときの抗力測定実験を行った。その結果,レーザーパルスが誘起する高温・低密度領域と物体前方に形成される衝撃波との干渉によって生成される渦輪の作用によって,物体前方に低圧領域が滞留し,この渦輪の滞留時間を長くすることが,時間平均抗力低減に鍵を握ることがわかった。これは,トランケーティドコーンの先頭台部の面積を大きくするほど効果的であるが,反面ベースラインの抗力が低減した。先頭に台部を有しない形状,すなわち円錐では,レーザーパルスによる抗力低減量は小さく,パワー利得は1をはるかに下回る結果となった。さらに,台部を平面ではなく適切な曲率の凹面とすることによって,渦輪の滞留時間が増加し,抗力低減性能が向上することを実証した。

    One of the fundamental problems preventing commercial transport aircraft from supersonic flight is the generation of strong sonic booms. The strength of the shock waves generated by an aircraft flying at supersonic speed is a direct function of both the aircraft's weight and its occupying volume; it has been very difficult to sufficiently reduce the shock waves generated by the heavier and larger conventional supersonic transport (SST) configuration to meet acceptable at-ground sonic-boom levels.
    Our team first re-analyzed the classic Busemann biplane configurations to understand its basic wave cancellation concept using modern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. We then designed a two-dimensional (2-D) supersonic biplane that not only shows the desired aerodynamic characteristics at its design condition, but also outperforms a zero-thickness flat-plate airfoil. (Zero-thickness plat-plate airfoils are known as the most efficient monoplane airfoil at supersonic speeds.) Also we studied biplane performance not only at their design Mach numbers but also at off-design conditions. We extended the analysis to 3-D wing configurations as well.
    In parallel to the computational studies, we carried out series of experiments. The first experiment conducted here was the sonic boom experiment using gas gun. The N-wave was captured successfully. The second experiment was the 2 D wind tunnel test using Indraft Wind Tunnel Facility newly constructed in this research. In addition, conventional wind tunnel tests were conducted using existing wind tunnels. These experiments revealed important off-design flow features to be further studies by using CFD.
    The main research result is the development of the supersonic biplane theory. Biplane configuration allows canceling shock waves created by supersonic objects. It can be unconventional and innovative concept for future supersonic transport.

    This research aims to clarify an electromagnetic acceleration mechanism of plasma flow and to control Mach number of the plasma flow using a magnetic nozzle for optimization of the plasma acceleration. Especially, we have directly observed the electromagnetic force (Lorentz force) accelerating the plasma in the Laval-type magnetic nozzle and compared it with the flow velocity measurement. We investigated in detail the formation of the Lorentz force in various magnetic field configurations and effects on the acceleration. The results are summarized as follows.
    1.The thermal energy of the ion was converted into the flow energy by passing through the Laval type magnetic nozzle at the muzzle of Magneto-Plasma-Dynamic arcjet (MPDA). The ion Mach number of the plasma attains to more than unity and the supersonic plasma flow was obtained.
    2.Spatial profiles of the several plasma parameters, flow velocity, ion temperature and Mach number of the plasma, were consistent with the theoretical results derived from the one-dimensional isentropic flow model.
    3.It was experimentally clarified that the magnetic field in the plasma flow became weak caused by the diamagnetic effect and the converging magnetic field was spontaneously formed near the MPDA. The Lorenz force by the azimuthal current and the inward magnetic field decelerated ions in the plasma.
    4.Adding a strong diverging magnetic field improved the deformation of the magnetic field and changes the deceleration force to acceleration force, which resulted in a large increase of plasma flow velocity.
    As a result, we have shown that the electromagnetic force acting on the plasma flow could be controlled directly by shaping the external magnetic field, and clarified the plasma acceleration mechanism and its control methods.

    Basic and application studies were conducted on the laser-driven, in-tube accelerator which had been developed by the head investigator. The operation principle was experimentally validated in 4-m-high vertical launch experiment. The impulse generation mechanisms were experimentally and numerically studied by highlighting the interactions among shock waves, expansion waves and laser-generated plasma and accompanying fluid-dynamics instabilities. A scaling law of its propulsion performance was established. The impulse enhancement using laser ablation was experimentally demonstrated. Those are useful for practical applications. In this device, the momentum coupling coefficient, which is defined as the ratio of an impulse to a laser energy, can be tripled owing to a confinement effect and with appropriate setting of the working gas species and its fill pressure. The momentum coupling coefficient scales with the reciprocal of the speed of sound, which was experimentally validated using three kinds of monoatomic gases, argon, krypton and xenon. The secondary effect of their ionization potential on the impulse was also obtained. The impulse performance is uniquely characterized using a dimensionless momentum coupling coefficient, the dimensional momentum coupling coefficient multiplied by the speed of sound, and a dimensionless parameter, the ratio of the fill pressure multiplied by an effective projectile volume to the laser energy. From the experimental and numerical analysis, it is concluded that the impulse performance can be optimized from the effective expansion volume of the laser plasma. In the laser-ablative performance experiment, polyacetal exhibited the best performance ; its impulse is sensitive to the ambient pressure. At an appropriate laser fluence, the impulse becomes highest at ambient pressures below 100 Pa. This favorable performance can be useful not only for improving the propulsive performance of the device but also for other various space applications including space debris deorbiting.

    i)基礎的研究くさびを過ぎる衝撃波反射に粘性効果に起因する遷移遅れを実験と精緻な数値模擬結果との対比から、始めて実証した。この現象が凹面および凸面さらに円錐面にも現れることを明らかにし、流体力学の教科書を書き直すに足る事実を見いだしている。また、大型縦型衝撃波管内に加速度計を内蔵した球を吊し衝撃波を負荷するという巧妙な実験で、衝撃波負荷での球の非定常抗力を実測し、衝撃波ないし爆風負荷での各種形状物体の非定常抗力計測に始めて成功している。この結果は数値模擬法との組み合わせで、粉塵気体中の衝撃波伝播に非定常抗力の効果明らかにしている。縦型無隔膜衝撃波管、大型無隔膜衝撃波管などを設計法を開発して、衝撃波の実験研究の精度を飛躍的に向上させ、また、衝撃波研究に微小爆薬の爆発を導入するなど、独創的な衝撃波実験法を発展させている。高性能の二段式軽ガス銃を設備し、弾道飛行実験装置の機能を加えて、高速飛行および高速衝突の動力学の体系化に成功している。直径1mのシュリーレン鏡を導入して大視野で、高レイノルズ数流れの二重露光ホログラフィー干渉計測定法を確立し、さらに、これを位相変位ホログラフィー干渉計法を展開し、音波に近い非常に弱い衝撃波の計測に成功している。気体、液体、混相媒体中の衝撃波現象の解明に適した数値模擬法を開発している。

    In the Interdisciplinary Shock Wave Research Center, Tohoku University, we have aimed to apply the shock wave phenomena to medicine. We have already finished the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and now are working for the development of system for revascularization of cerebral thrombosis, which is expected to be completed in very near future. In these topics a shock wave plays always an important role*. When a Q-switched laser beam focused a spot on a metal foil surface, instantaneously a plasma cloud ejected from the spot and as its reaction a shock wave is generated inside the metal foil which propagate and reflected from the other surface. The plasma formation is called laser ablation. The reflected wave an expansion one and as a result of it the foil is instantaneously bulged at 2 to 5 km/s. When small* particles are attached on the metal surface these would be ejected at such a high speed at the moment laser beam irradiation. This principle has been applied to accelerate dry drug particles or metal particles* of the order of magnitude of one micron or so into human tissue. We have used Q-switched Nd:YAG laser focused on the surface of a 5 mm thick glass plate backed up with 0.1 mm this aluminum foil on which tungsten or gold particles were attached. We measured the particle ejection speed to be in the order of magnitude of 1 to 2 km/s. Injecting these particles against agarose cell, mouse liver, and mouse skin, we measured penetration depths against these and found the maximum penetration depth was about 6 mm for individual materials. The free flight of such small particles belongs to hypersonic Stokes flow which has never be discussed seriously in the field gas dynamics. We have developed numerical scheme to estimate particle free flight as well as penetration into soft tissues. We have examined with this method the penetration into cell lines in liquid solution and observed a beautiful penetration of a one micron tungsten particle into a cell. Based on these basic studies we concluded that this method is superior to the existing mechanical gene delivery systems and so robust and compact that it can be redesigned as a therapeutic device. We believe we have accomplished our main goal which we proposed at first.

    本年度の計画として、昨年までのレーザー駆動管内加速装置の試作、インパルス、圧力測定実験の基礎データ取得の実験を基に、垂直打上実験とその詳細な推進性能データを取得する予定であったが、平成13年7月31日付けで基盤研究(S)の内定によりこの課題を辞退することとなった。
    しかし、それまでの研究成果で本装置の作動が実際に可能であったことを実証することができ、さらに数値シュミレーションのための基礎データを取得することで、数値シュミレーションによる加速機構のより詳細なプロセスを明らかにすることができた。特に、管内に封入する作動気体の化学種や充墳圧力を変えることによって推進性能を制御できる点、管内での閉じ込め効果による性能向上、出口側からレーザー光を入射させる3点は、本研究のとくにアピールできる点であり、研究成果を外国の学会で発表し、本装置のオリジナリティーと実際に得られた推進性能について高い評価を得ている。この基礎研究は、将来の宇宙輸送システムに抜本的な改革をもたらす可能性を持っている。現在のロケットシステムは、ロケット本体に推進剤、酸化剤を搭載するため、特に打上げ時には、上空で使用する燃料/酸化剤を加速するために推力を出さねばならないというジレンマがある。これに対して、本研究のシステムは、作動気体は予め管内に封入しておくため、打ち上げコストを大幅に(1/10〜1/100)に削減できる可能性がある。また、飛行体の姿勢制御不要、レーザーに追尾機能搭載不要、レーザー光による周辺への危険性がなく、大気汚染、騒音の問題もない。近い将来、太陽光発電衛星からのレーザー光を利用した直接打上システム、軌道上での運動量発生システム、宇宙エレベータなどての実用展開の可能性も期待できる。これら基礎研究成果は、上記基礎研究(S)の研究課題に引き継がれ、実用展開を視野に入れたより高度な基礎研究に活用される見通しである。

    In this project, the generation and propagation mechanisms of aerodynamic noises generated by the motions of vortices and shock waves are investigated. We developed a highly-accurate finite difference numerical scheme (6-th order accurate in space and 4-th order in time) to solve the unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations. By applying the scheme to shock-vortex interaction problems, we found that noises are generated in response to the generation of reflected shock waves caused by the interaction, and that the generated reflected shock waves interact with vortices again and produce noises successively. This is an important finding on the mechanism of sound generation in supersonic turbulent flows. Next, we applied the scheme to the problems of aeolian tones generated by an obstacle in a uniform flow. The results showed that the generation frequency of the sound is equal to the fluctuation frequency of lift force and also to the shedding frequency of Karman vortices. We also found that the propagation of sound is affected by the Doppler effect and the propagation angle is determined by the Mach number. We also compared our numerical results with the prediction by Curle's acoustic analogy and pointed out that the Curle's analogy in its original form is incomplete and proposed an improved method which gives a close approximation to the correct solutions. We also proposed a new method which is effective to control actively the generation and propagation of aeolian tones generated by a circular cylinder in a uniform flow.

    本年度の計画として、昨年度試作した低リコイル高速射出装置の推進性能実験の実績を基に、その作動条件の最適化をさらに進める予定であったが、平成13年7月31日付けで基盤研究(S)の内定によりこの課題を辞退することとなった。これまでの研究成果で、低リコイルの初段射出装置として、火薬と軽ガスを組み合わせたハイブリット方式にすることが有効であることがわかった。これは、軽ガスを火薬で駆動することによって、初期の充填圧力を低く保ったまま一時的な高圧状態を作り出すことができ、さらに駆動気体となるヘリウムの比熱比が高く原子量が小さいため、高い音速をもつことによって、駆動気体としての好ましい性質を有するためであることがわかった。また、二段目の加速部としてはラム加速が有効であり、これはこれまでラム加速機の研究実績により、実験データベースがかなり整えられている。今年度は、これらを組み合わせて二段作動システムを稼動させる予定でいたが、上記の理由によりそこまでには至らなかった。しかし、初段加速、ラム加速に関する研究成果は、アメリカ航空宇宙学会のJournal of Propulsion and Powerや2002年1月に開催された同学会年会で発表し、国際的にも高い評価を受けた。特に、初段加速部における隔膜破断圧の設定法や飛行体自体の、軽量化については独自のアイディアを実証している。このうち、飛行体の軽量化については、open-base方式を開発し、周囲が高圧であっても飛行体の強度を損ねることなく、高速まで加速が可能であることを実証している。なお、本研究で培った低リコイル高速射出技術は、新しく採択された基盤研究(S)において、超音速条件でのレーザー加速の実証実験の初段打ち出し装置へ応用される見通しとなっている。

    これまで、大気圏再突入に関わる流体の研究は、壁面の電気的な条件が考慮されずになされてきたものが殆どだった。ところが、超軌道速度での再突入では電離度が10%を越えることも有り得るため、プラズマ流体としての取扱いが必要になる。本研究では、その中の代表的な現象である、固体壁の電気境界条件について実験研究を行った。まず、イクスパンション管を用いた超軌道速度流れの発生法を確立した。実験室の限られた環境でそのような極限的な高エンタルピー流れを発生させるため、自由ピストン駆動部の条件をチューンドオペレーション法を改良することによって確立した。また、試験気流の状態を、従来の静圧、ピトー圧測定のみに頼らず、衝撃波層の高速度写真撮影、時間分解発光分光測定を通して、より精度よく測定した。特に、上記分光測定によって加速気体と試験気体の接触面を明確に測定し、許容誤差の関数として試験時間を評価した。淀み点エンタルピーは、最高37MJ/kgまで達成した。試験気流中に静電探針を置いてその浮遊電位を測定したところ、境界層の状態に依存して大きく変動することがわかった。また、二波長ホログラフィー干渉計法による円柱周りの衝撃波層の可視化実験を行い、浮遊電位金属壁、グランド電位金属壁、絶縁物壁による電子密度の違いを測定した。しかし、その差異は測定誤差の範囲内であり、電子境界条件がシース外部の流れ場に大きな影響をもたらす条件は見出せなかった。本研究の結論として、固体壁の電気境界条件は流れ場の大きな構造を変えるまでには至らないが、浮遊電位は大きく変動し、再突入物体の通信、計測機器への配慮が必要となることが示唆された。

    In simulating experimentally atmospheric re-entry of space vehicles, shock wave technology is best used to create high temperature conditions which are otherwise impossible to generate by any together methods. The high temperature so far appearing during the atmospheric re-entry exceed 10,000 K so that air molecules will dissociate and then ionized. This process is name real gas effect. The present study aims to experimentally verify the hypersonic real gas effect by using a 100 mm x 180 mm hypervelocity shock tube that has been transported from the Institute of Aerospace Studies, University of Toronto in 1994. The present study is to refurbish this shock tube by adopting a detonation driver system in which the reflection of detonation waves in stoichiometric oxyhydrogm mixture is used and to quantitatively visualize hypersonic shock waves using double exposure holography interferometry.
    The result obtained are summarized as following :
    (1) A diaphragmless operation system has been adopted successfully in this shock tube. Its characteristics have been throughly investigated. Its higher degree of repeatability that has not been achieved among existing shock tubes has been confirmed.
    (2) To ensure the initiation of detonations in the high pressure chamber, the transition from deflagration driven shock waves to detonation waves has been visualized using double exposure holographic interferometry. The effect of small particles shattering from the surface of micro-charges which initiate the chemical reaction.
    (3) Finite fringe holographic interferometry has been applied to the experiments in (2). Finite fringe interferograms were quantitatively analyzed by using Fourier fringe analysis. Its measuring system has been established.
    (4) Results obtained during two years of research works have been presented at international symposia. International collaboration with the Institute of Aerospace Studies, University of Toronto has been conducted.

    Extracoporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), non-invasive removal of kidney stones, is one of the most peaceful applications of shock waves. As a collaboration project with Medical School of Tohoku University we have developed prototype lithotriptor which was approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. As a result of basic research, tissue damages during ESWL treatments have been clarified and we found a technology to damage living tissue in a controlled fashion. This technology is extended to cancer research with the combination of chemotherapy during which it was discovered punctuation on the cancer cells when shock waves were exposed on them. The mechanism of punctuation is found to be related with shock wave interaction with nonhomogeneity of a medium with local curvature. The goal of present research is to clarify the mechanism of the punctuation in details.
    Results obtained are summarized as following :
    (1) Optical flow visualization of shock/tissue interaction has been developed. However, it has a limitiation in its spatial resolution. In order to compensate it, we seek for model tissues which have analogous characteristics to living tissues, with which various analogue experiments have been conducted and the results have been numerically simulated.
    (2) Finite fringe holographic interferometry has been developed and Fourier fringe analysis was well established. This method allowed to identify a slight density change created by shock wave exposures and was found to be effectively extended further shock/tissue interaction studies.
    (3) Numerical methods have been developed to be compared with experiments. Interactions between shock waves and various gas liquid interfaces have been successfully simulated.
    (4) A vertcal gas gun has been designed and constructed with which micro-shock/tissue interaction will be investigated. This is a facility which can directly simulate shock induced perforation on model tissue surface.

    Hypersonic wind tunnel flows can provide data base which would support entire Japanese space projects including HOPE-X and forth coming named space shuttle projects. In particular, to resolve heat shielding of re-entry space vehicles, the existing shock tube has to be upgraded to satisfy the generation of these extreme conditions.
    The aim of the present study is to develop the facility and measuring systems. Results obtained are summarized as following :
    (1) The high pressure chamber of a 100 mm x 180 mm shock tube has been modified to detonation driving operation systems and a quickly opening valve has been adopted to ensure higher degree of repeatability. Its characteristics are numerically and experimentally clarified.
    (2) The initiation of detonation waves was experimentally examined. A micro-charge ranging from 1.0 to 10 mg in weight was laser ignited in a detonation chamber, in order to clarify the transition from deflagration driven shock waves to detonation, in oxyhydrogen miters at initial pressure from 10 to 100 kPa. By using holographic interferometric observations, the boundary of initiations has been determined.
    (3)Starting processes in two-dimensional and axisymmetric nozzles have been numerically and experimentally investigated. In the case of an axisymmetric nozzle, an aspheric lens shaped converging and diverging nozzle was constructed and collimated object beam could pass without creating any distortion of images of test section, with which a quantitative image data acquisition became possible.
    (4) For the interpretation of experimental results, a dinette difference scheme using unstructured grids has been developed and a higher resolution has been obtained.

    The extensive research was made on application of gas-dynamics on the future planetary exploration, mainly focusing on the reentry capsule which is planned for MUSES-C mission. MUSES-C mission planned by ISAS is to have a rendezvous with an asteroid and to bring back its soil to Earth. Since its reentry speed is quite high (-l3 km/sec), a variety of gas-dynamical problem must be resolved.
    In the present research, research effort was focused on the following main problems ; 1) the radiation efficient estimation from high temperature shock layer ahead of the vehicle, 2) the interaction of the high temperature air with the heat shield material of the vehicle, 3) the estimation of aerodynamic heat flux caused by highly-nonequilibrium high temperature shock layer. One of the main topics is the highly thermally-nonequilibrium phenomena, which is observed experimentally. This result is expected to have an impact on improving the current flow model, and to be helpful to improve the estimation accuracy by the improved flow model. Combining the results obtained from various topics, the aerodynamic heating along the flight path was successfully estimated, which was helpful to make a design requirement for such a reentry vehicle. In parallel, the possibility of the flight demonstration of such a reentry vehicle was studied.
    Other than the reentry vehicle, a study was conducted on the use of penetrator system for future planetary explanation, in a gas-dynamical point of view, This system study successfully clarified a design requirement of such a penetrator system. Also, the RAM accelerator system was studied, which is useful for the transportation of the exploration result from Moon. Even in a laboratory scale, the RAM accelerator was successfully demonstrated.

  31. Sound Generation by Interactions among Vortex, Heat and Shock Wave

    Generation mechanism and natures of sound through vortex, heat and shock wave interactions are studied both computationally and experimentally. Inoue developped a highly-accurate, compressible Navier-Stokes code (6th-order in space and 4th-order in time) and applied it to shock-vortex interauction problems. The results show that, (1) three sounds are generated successively by the interaction between a single vortex and a plane shock wave, (2) each sound has a quadrupolar nature, and (3) the strengths of the sounds depend both on the strengths of a shock wave and a vortex. Inoue also applied the code to the interaction between a pair of vortices and a shock wave, and clarified that the number of sound generated by the interaction and the characteristic naturcs of the sounds depend on whether the pair of vortices moves in the same direction as the shock wave or opposite to it. Inoue also studied compressible flowfields around a helicopter and clarified the characteristic natures of the flowfields in a vortex ring state and in an autorotation state for the first time. The results suggest strongly that the sound generation in the helicopter rotor flowfield is closely related to the interaction between the tip-vortices and the rotor baleds. Fukunishi imposed a sound wave on a turbulent boundary layr, and examined the vortical motion in the boundary layr. Fukunishi found that the turbulent boundary layr can be effectively excited by the sound wave. Sasoh studied experimentally the sound noise at the exit of a tunnel produced by a highspeed bullet train (Shinkansen), and found that attenuation of a shock wave produced by a Shinkansen is inevitable to reduce the sound noise. Sasoh proposes the use of pseudo-perforated walls in a tunnel. By using a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes code, Ju studied numerically flowfields produced by the interaction of premixed gases of H2 and air with a shock wave, and found that the so-called Richtmyer-Meshkov instability plays an important role in the generation of vortices and thus the generation of sound. Hattori simulated numerically sound pressure fields generated by the head-on collision of two vortex rings, and found the following important results. (1) When the strengths of the two vortex rings are equal, two sounds are generated and each sound has quadrupolar nature. (2) When the strengths of the two vortex rings are not equal, four sounds are generated and the direction of the sound propagation is affected by the difference of the strengths of the two vortex rings. Hattori and lnoue also studied the characteristic natures of sound generated by oblique collisions of two vortex rings, and captured numerically the generation of octupolar sounds.

    In this study, the scaling effects were analyzed by conducting quasi-one-dimensional numerical simulation with finite-rate chemical reactions being taken into account. From the numerical simulation, it was concluded that in order to obtain a wide operation regime in the thermally-choked operation mode, small-sized apparatus was favorable. Based on this, a small sized ram accelerator was constructed and its operation tests were conducted. It was found that the smaller the apparatus the more difficult its starting became. In order to better understand the starting process, flow visualization experiments were conducted. The behavior of a precursory shock wave was visualized by using a high-speed image converter camera. Density field around a projectile impinging the diaphragm at the ram acceleration tube entrance was visualized by holographic interferometry, concluding that the existing diaphragm rupture model was inadequate in quantitative numerical simulation. By varying mixture components, fill pressure, powder mass, projectile configuration, sabot configuration and the initial pressure in the pre-acceleration section, ram acceleration experiments were done, obtaining a velocity gain of 370 m/s.

    Topics on hypersonic turbulent mixing are not only basic research topics of high speed gas dynamics but also important applications of shock wave research. This international joint research program has been carried out for three years under close sollaborations between the Shock Wave Research Center Institute of fluid Science and the Institute of Aerospace Studies University Toronto.
    Results so far obtained are summarized as following :
    (1) A mathematical modelling of hypersonic turbulent mixing has been obtained by establishing a finite difference scheme which can handle three-dimentional Navies-Stokes equations in unstructured grid systems.
    (2) In order to include the chemical reaction terms in the above mentioned numerical scheme, detailed elementary processes of hedrogen-oxygen reactions has been investigated.
    (3) In conjunction with understanding of elementary processes of hypersonic turbulent mixsing, the motion of shock waves and flows behing them has been investigated experimentally and numerically.
    (4) The characteristic of a compact free piston shock tunnel and its contoured nozzle flow has investigated : piton motion in compression tube ; starting process of nozzle fow ; effect of diaphragm location on the nozzle flows ; Pitt pressure profile of nozzle flow ; driver gas contamination. Based upon these results, it is found that the contoured Mach 6 nozzle has a very limited working region so that a conical nozzle is designed for its replacement.
    (5) The stagnation enthalpy of 14 MA/kg and nozzle flow Mach number of 6 has been obtained. Double exposure holographic interferometric observation has been successfully applied to the flow over a cylinder.
    (6) The results have been obtained under close collaboration during the stay of Professor Jean Sislian for total 8 months from the fiscal years 1995 to 1997 and also the stay of Mr.Jurgen Schumacher for 6 month in 1997.
    (7) The results so far obtained are submitted for the publication in international journals having high reputation.

    Numerical analyzes and ram accelerator operation experiments were conducted with the aim of clarifying relationships between its thrust performance and chemical reaction rates. There exist two propulsive modes in which subsonic combustion occurs ; subdetonative and transdetonative modes. In this study, numerical analyzes were based on quasi-one-dimensional steady flow with finite-rate chemistry taken into account. The formulation yields ordinal differential equations solution of which can be obtained through a well-developed implicit method. Instability in the calculation due to sonic singularity was avoided by a method which was developed uniquely in this study. The analyzes shows a propulsive mode is determined by the relationship between a characteristic length of finite-rate chemical reactions and a projectile length ; in a large apparatus the transdetonative propulsive mode tends to appear at relatively low Mach numbers. This result suggests that a small apparatus has an advantage to obtain stable subdetonative mode. For a large apparatus, a similar operation is possible by adjusting the fill pressure of the mixture. The experiments were conducted using a world-smallest working ram accelerator with a 25-mm-bore. As was predicted by the analyzes, ram acceleration was realized with a relatively energetic mixture. This study points out the importance of a chemical reaction induction length in determining the thrust performance. This conclusion should lead to further development of quantitative clarification of the scaling laws on ram accelerators.

Each expert in a field is supported by the other three experts in other fields who have different ideas, methods, know-hows and experiences, respectively. Inoue studied sounds produced by vortex-vortex interactions and shock wave-vortex interactions by 2D/3D direct Navier-Stokes simulations, and clarified the quadrupolar natures of sounds by the interactions. He also studied the 3D compressible flows around helicopter rotors and captured numerically vortex ring states and auto-rotation states for first time which are closely related to helicopter noises. Hayase studied numerically unsteady 2D flows in an orifice and also through spool valves, and showed that acoustic sound produced in these flows are closely related to the behavior of vortices. Sasoh studied experimentally tunnel sonic booms produced by highspeed trains, and showed that the booms are directly related to shock waves generated by entrance of a train in a long tunnel. Tsubota studied acoustic sounds in superfluid Helium and clarified that generation of quantized vortices is one of the sources of sounds in low temperature flow fields. The results obtained by the four experts are compared with each other. It is found that there are common natures among the sounds observed in spite of the difference of the flow fields studied ; for example, sounds produced by vortex-vortex interactions and vortex-sounds interactions have quadrupolar natures while dipolar property is predominant when obstacles or walls exist.

    A ram accelerator system has been developed. The test section has a 25 mm bore and a 6m length. Its preaccelerator, a powder gun, is capable of launching a 40-gram payload to 1.2km/s with smokeless powder of 30 grams. The mixture supply system, composed of mass flow controllers and backpressure regulators, is easy to handle and utilizes cylinder pases up to a pressure about 1MPa higher than the fill pressure. Projectile velocity is measured by sensing magnetic induction using home made pick-up coils. The multiplexer system is capable of recording pressure data at plural points in one channel.
    Sixty ram acceleration experiments were made with methane-oxygen-nitrogen (or argon) mixtures. Sabot separation was made only by unsteady gas dynamics made in the mixture. Starting condition for ram acceleration strongly depended on non-dimensional heat release, entry speed and sabot design.
    A numerical code which can calculate the thrust performance based on the existing ram accelerator Hugoniot theory has been developed. Moreover, the theory was extended by taking finite-rate chemistry into account. With the extended theory, performances not only of the thermally choked mode but also of the transdetonative mode can be analyzed.
    It is important through this research project to show that ram acceleration is possible with this small bore apparatus, thereby enhancing understandings of scaling effects of ram accellerators. This technology is promising in being applied to space technology, material technology etc. in Japan.

    In electric propulsion, there are several kinds of electric thrusters, such as electrostatic type, electromagnetic type and electrothermal type. The drawbacks common to the thrusters are ; 1)low energy conversion efficiency, 2)not demonstrated endurability for long operation, and 3)not obtained scaling laws determining thruster performance. To overcome these drawbacks, it is necessary to investigate physical phenomena in thrusters, Such-as ionization and dissociation processes, plasma acceleration mechanism, and heat and energy transport processes, not only by theoretical analysis but also by experimental one.
    For this purpose, this study has been continued for three years since 1992. It was a co-operative work of researchers and engineers of universities and research institutes, and had joint-meetings for several times, exchanging informations and discussing research contents and current topics.
    As the resuit, it was concluded that ; 1) in ion thrusters, numerical code has been constructed, which can be used to estimate thruster performance for given geometrical design and operating parameters, 2) as for arcjet thrusters, arc dischrage behaviors were examined and clarified both by experimental observations and by numerical calculations, 3) MPD flow analyzes have been conducted to obtain a further understanding of the relations between plasma flow and arc discharge, indicating that non-equilibrium flow plays an important role on inoization and plasma acceleration processes.

    Radiative heat transfer from non-equilibrium, high-enthalpy shock layrs generated around a blunt body has been studied. At Mach numbers from 25 to 35, the radiative heat transfer is mainly caused by strong radiative emission in a thermally and chemically non-equilibrium layr generated immediately behind the shock wave. According as an upstream Mach number increase, the intensity of the radiative emission sharply increases, resulting in sharp increase in the radiativeheat transfer. Under the above-mentioned condition, the thickness of the strong emission layr is almost independent of the nose radius. Hence, the radiative heat transfer is almost unchanged with the radius at such a low Mach number levels. At higher Mach number levels, radiative emission from a high-electron-density region near the wall become dominant. In this case, the radiative heat transfer increases with the dimensions of the body.

    自然界の中でも最も大規摸な衝撃波現象の一つに爆発的噴水に伴う火山性ブラストがある。本研究では、火山性ブラストによる爆風圧やその伝播の把握のために、遠隔的に設置できかつ記録が可能な測定系、すなわち投下型・全方位指向性の爆風圧検出器について、実際の火山性ブラスト現象を解明するための計測法を確立するのを目的として共同研究を開始した。そのため、これまで衝撃波工学センターで開発され実用化されてきたピエゾセンサーによる圧力計を改良し、噴火口近傍でも設置でき測定可能な火山性ブラスト用の計測法の開発を行うことが、十分可能でかつ緊急の課題であると考えた。とくに火山性ブラストは、高温のガスと火山灰・噴石破片の混合物からなり、しかもその継続時間が通常の実験室内の衝撃波とは比較にならないほど長いと考えられるので、特別な工夫を必要とする。実用性のある火山性ブラスト用の計測系は、衝撃波の到来方向に無関係に設置できかつ安価・簡便なこと、耐熱性がありデータの記録を遠隔的にできることなどが必要条件である。本研究によって、まだ多少の改良点が必要ではあるが、このような条件に適合した十分実用に耐えうる圧力センサーと記録システムの開発見通しがたった。圧力センサーとしては、PVDFピエゾフィルムを貼ったステンレス製円筒の末端部の厚みによって、測定圧力範囲を調節できるものである。また、記録システムはSRAMに常時記録されたデータから、一定時間毎にトリガーレベル以上の信号を検出しDRAMにイベント毎に記録する方式が最適であると判断し、現在このシステムの試験をかねて、雲仙岳周辺で観測を行っている。今後は、さらに消費電流を少なくし、かつ簡便に設置できるシステムとデータの読みだしにテレメータ方式を採用する事など検討していく予定である。

    デトネ-ションの研究に関しては、(i)斜めデトネ-ションの安定性と周期的振動の機構解明、(ii)逆制動ふく射を伝播機構とするレ-ザ-・デトネ-ションの可能性が調ベられた。これらは簡単化された化学反応に基いて解析された為、実際の現象が推測に基く機構から物理化学的に生じるかどうか、解析の結果は定性的に納得のゆく結論へ導く。即ち斜めデトネ-ションの振動は、局所的な爆発と壁から反射する圧力波間の相互干渉による共鳴現象である。炭酸ガスレ-ザ-を、水素分子やアルゴンガス中に、一平方ミリ当り10メガワットの強度で集光すると、球面レ-ザ-・デトネ-ションが伝播しそうである。
    衝撃波後方において、アセトアルドキシム及びホルムアルドキシムを熱分解し、生成物の挙動を調べた。二段階の単分子反応が起こる場合に、一段階目の反応の非平衡遷移状態構造が、二段階目の反応経路の選択を支配すると言う考えと同様に、分子の異性化についても検討がなされた。実験と反応分子動力学的計算の双方から、この事は言えそうである。
    その他松為、藤井、山崎らは、多くのラジカル反応に関して、衝撃波後方の高温下における、高速連鎖反応存在下に、速度定数を良い精度で計測した。この手法により、この迄全くと言っても良い程に手のつけられなかったラジカル反応が解明され、燃焼現象の制御や公害汚染物質の抑制に役立つ研究が行われる可能性を与えている。
