마하 수 6 이상인 극초음속 비행에는 스크램제트(SCRamjet : Supersonic Combustion Ramjet) 엔진이 가장 적합한 엔진으로 알려져 있고 현재 미국을 중심으로 이 엔진의 개발에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 스크램제트 엔진의 성공적인 개발을 위해서는 초음속 공기 내에서 연료의 분사를 통한 가장 효율적인 연소를 유도할 수 있어야 한다. 초음속 상태의 공기와 연료의 혼합을 증대시키고 연소안정성을 향상시키는 방법으로 연소기 내에 인위적으로 경사충격파를 발생시키는 방안이 Marble 등에 의해 최초로 도입되었다. 본 연구에서는 스크램제트엔진 내의 연소기를 모델링하여 마하수 2.5의 초음속공기 유동 중앙에 수소 제트를 분사하여 초음속 수소-공기 화염을 만들고 연소기의 측면에 동일한 모양과 크기의 쐐기를 각각 부착시켜 평면 경사충격파를 발생시켰다 본 실험은 충격파가 초음속 화염에 미치는 영향을 연구한 최초의 실험연구이다.

This study is the results of the analytical research for a dual-model scramjet engine flowpath which is included inlet, isolator, combustor, and nozzle. To design a dual-mode scramjet engine and to investigate its performance, the performance analysis models and tools are required to develope for aerodynamic, thermodynamic characteristics, propulsion, and total system. Therefore, analysis models for air inlet, isolator, supersonic combustor, and nozzle of a dual-mode scramjet engine were accomplished, the performance characteristics of a dual-mode scramjet engine is investigated with using the developed analysis tools.

The numerical simulations of hydrocarbon fueled scramjet engine have been studied less than them of hydrogen fueled scramjet engine. Ethylene is selected in hydrocarbon because of its good thermochemical properties and a direct-connect scramjet combustor at the American Air Force Research laboratory is taken to a two-dimensional simulation model. Ignition time delay of ethylene was monitored and air throttling was imposed to generate ignition inside the model scramjet.

A high-resolution numerical study is carried out to investigate the transient process of the combustion and the shock-train developments in an ethylene-fueled direct-connect dual-mode scramjet combustor. Air-throttling is then applied at the expansion part of the combustor to provide mass addition to block the flow to subsonic speed, hence to enhance the fuel-air mixing and ignition. Present simulation shows the detailed results for the better understanding of transient processes of the operation regimes in the dual-mode scramjet combustor.

The PID controller with fin angle and thrust as control input was designed based on the aerodynamic data of scramjet system. Flight simulation following a given trajectory which strike the target point after climb and cruise with constant dynamic pressure was conducted. After that, the required thrust for the climb and cruise was calculated and the required fuel flow rate for the hydrogen fuel dual mode scramjet combustor was analyzed. The combustor analysis of this study which conducted on integrated model of independently developed inlet, combustor, nozzles and external aerodynamic models, laying the foundation for the integrated design of the air breathing hypersonic system.

Scramjet engine combustor was tested with "RAMSYS" blow down wind tunnel in Kakuda Space Center, JAXA. As a result, installation of a cavity showed larger combustion pressure than the case without a cavity. Zigzag cavity applied for the first time in this experiment, showed the largest combustion pressure and is expected to contribute to the stable and economic operation of scramjet.

This paper studies a nonpremixed turbulent flame in a model scramjet combustor using zonal hybrid RANS/LES method. The numerical domain is divided into two region, RANS and LES region. The interface between the two regions is treated with synthetic eddy method. A model scramjet combustor experimented at German aerospace center is selected for the comparative study. The fuel injection of cracked kerosene surrogate which is composed of ethylene and methane is considered. Turbulent combustion of cracked kerosene surrogate is achieved using flamelet approach.

A series of computational simulations have been carried out for non-reacting and reacting flows in channel-type and divergent scramjet combustor configurations with and without a cavity. Transverse injection of hydrogen is considered with the injection pressure varying from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa. The detailed resolution of the oscillatory flow and flame dynamics are captured at sufficient scale to identify the underlying physical mechanisms, and the role of combustor configuration, cavity and amount of heat addition could be understood.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of a ramjet and scramjet engine according to flight Mach numbers. The main objective of this study is to give physical understanding on the performance parameters and to provide a more unified treatment of the fundamentals of ramjet and scramjet propulsion, mainly based on analytical methods. The effects of flight Mach number, inlet characteristics, and combustion on the performance of ramjet and scramjet are analysed. The cycle analysis are conducted on both combustors with constant pressure and with constant cross-section area, on which comparisons are made. Also the optimal Mach number at the entry of the combustor is studied.

Recently many studies have been made for the development of propulsion system with wide range flight from supersonic to hypersonic. Dual Mode scramjet engine as a hybrid cycle with advantage of ramjet and scramjet has one combustor. It works under the ramjet mode (subsonic combustion) and scramjet mode (supersonic combustion) respectively. In this study, Experimental results of hot firing tests of dual scramjet engine designed on the condition of Mach 3.5~6 as a flight Mach number are discussed. The tests were carried out on a ground test bench under free stream condition of Mach 6 at 27.6km altitude. In the tests, the adopted design and technological solutions were verified and efficient operation of the dual mode ramjet engine with Kerosene combustion during 5 seconds was demonstrated.
