  • Air-fuel mixing and flame-holding are two important factors that have to be considered in the design of an injection system. Different injection strategies have been proposed with particular concern for rapid air-fuel mixing and flame-holding. Two representative injection techniques can be applied in a supersonic combustor. One of the simplest approaches is a transverse(normal) injection. The cavity flame holder, an integrated fuel injection/flame-holding approach, has been proposed as a new concept for flame holding and air-fuel mixing in a supersonic combustor. This paper describes numerical efforts to characterize the flame-holding and air-fuel mixing process of a model scramjet engine combustor, where hydrogen is injected into a supersonic cross flow and a cavity. The combustion phenomena in a model scramjet engine, which has been experimentally studied at University of Queensland and Australian National University using a free-piston shock tunnel, were observed around the separation region of the transverse injector upstream and the inside cavity. The results show that this flow separation generates recirculation regions which increase air-fuel mixing. Self-ignition occurs in the separation-freestream and cavity-fteestream interfaces.

  • In order to understand the operation characteristics and major design parameters of a dual combustion ramjet engine, a fundamental analysis model based on gasdynamics and thermodynamic theories was established. The preliminary performance analysis was accomplished and the results clearly describe the intimate relationship between air inlets, gas generator, and supersonic combustor. The methodology presented provides a means for quantitatively determining the geometries of the gas generator and supersonic combustor and assessing the effects on performance of each of the engine components. Also the design results for a basic configuration were provided.

  • The effect of the relative distance between two cavity flame holders on the performance of a supersonic combustor was experimentally investigated. A rectangular cross-sectional combustor model with one cavity flame holder on each of two facing walls was used, with two difference distances between cavities of 135 mm and 220 mm. The fuel equivalence ratio was varied as 0.16 and 0.38. A direct-connected type test facility was used to provide Mach 2 flow condition. The test results revealed that the combustion pressure was higher for the shorter cavity distance case. But fuel equivalence ratio did not have large effect on the combustion pressure. It was concluded that, to get higher combustor pressure, there needs to be further combustor configuration change such as smaller cavity distance or tandem cavity installation.

  • A design study on the cooling channel configuration in a regeneratively cooled supersonic combustor was performed. The flow parameters on the hot- and cold-side channels were calculated using a quasi-one-dimensional model. The heat transfer between these two sides was estimated as a part of the flow calculation. For the reference configuration, the total amount of heat exchanged was 10.7 kW, the heat flux was $566kW/m^2$, and the fuel temperature increase between the inlet and outlet was 153 K. Seven designs of the heat exchanger channel were compared for their heat transfer performance.

  • The supersonic combustion experiments are carried out using T3 free-piston shock tunnel. Different shock tube fill pressures have various inflow conditions. $15^{\circ}$ inclined hydrogen fuel injection is located before the cavity. Oblique shock is generated from the cavity and reflects off the top and bottom wall. For non-reacting flow, fuel makes the shear layer thicker above the cavity therefore, the shock is generated just before the trailing edge. This research has self-ignition in the combustor. For reacting flow, as the equivalence ratio increases, flame starts to generate near the injector or occur in the recirculation zone before the injector. High fuel injection sustains the jet shape in the cross flow and air can mix with fuel along the shear layer. Therefore, two flame layers find above the cavity for high equivalence ratio.

  • The numerical research has been done for the transverse jet behind a rearward- facing step in turbulent supersonic flow without chemical reaction. The purpose of transverse jet is used to improve mixing of the fuel in the combustor. Two- dimensional unsteady flowfields generated by slot injection into supersonic flow are numerically simulated by the integration of Navier-Stokes equation with two-equation k - $\varepsilon$ turbulence model. Numerical methods are used high-order upwind TVD scheme. Eight cases are computed, comprising slot momentum flux ratios and slot position at downstream of the step. The flow is very similar to the cavity flow, because the jet is like an obstacle. Therefore, the numerical results show the periodic phenomenon.

  • A series of computational simulations have been carried out for supersonic flows in a scram jet engine with and without a cavity. Transverse injection of hydrogen, a simplest form of fuel supply, is considered in the present study with the injection pressure varying from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa. The corresponding equivalence ratios are 0.167 - 0.50. The work features detailed resolution of the flow dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the Previous studies. In particular, oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is related not only to the cavity, but also to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield. The interactions between shock waves and shear layer may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The role of the cavity and injection pressure are examined systematically.

  • This paper report our preliminary results of characterizing the jet structures of kerosene injection into quiescent atmosphere and a Mach 2.5 crossflow at various preheat temperature. A heating system has been designed and tested that can prepare heated kerosene of 0.8 kg up to 670 K at a pressure of 5.5 ㎫. Temperature measurement near the injector shows that the temperature of pressurized kerosene can be kept constant during the experimental duration. Comparison of kerosene jet structures in the preheat temperature range of 290-550 K demonstrates that with injection pressure of 4 ㎫ the jet plume turns into vapor phase completely at injection temperature of 550 K, while keeping the penetration depth essentially unchanged. The results suggest that the injection of vaporized fuel would improve the performance of a liquid hydrocarbon-fueled supersonic combustor because the evaporation process is now omitted.

  • A series of computational simulations have been carried out for non-reacting and reacting flows in a supersonic combustor configuration with and without a cavity. Transverse injection of hydrogen, a simplest form of fuel supply, is considered in the present study with the injection pressure of 0.5 and 1.0 ㎫. The corresponding equivalence ratios are 0.17 and 0.33. The work features detailed resolution of the flow and flame dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the previous studies. In particular, oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is related not only to the cavity, but also to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield. The interactions between the unsteady flow and flame evolution may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The role of the cavity, injection pressure, and amount of heat addition are examined systematically.
