This paper outlines a new convergence acceleration de-signed to solve scramjet flowfields with zones of re-circulation. Named the “marching-window”, the algorithm consists of performing pseudo-time iterations on a minimal width subdomain composed of a sequence of cross-stream planes of nodes. The upstream boundary of the subdomain is positioned such that all nodes upstream exhibit a residual smaller than the user-specified convergence threshold. The advancement of the downstream boundary follows the advancement of the upstream boundary, except in zones of significant streamwise ellipticity where a streamwise ellipticity sensor ensures its continuous progress. Compared to the standard pseudo-time marching approach, the march-ing-window is here seen to decrease the work required for convergence by up to 24 times for supersonic flows with little streamwise ellipticity and by up to 8 times for supersonic flows with large streamwise separated regions. The memory requirements are observed to be reduced sixfold by not allocating memory to the nodes not included in the computational subdomain. The marching-window satisfies the same convergence criterion as the standard pseudo-time stepping methods, hence resulting in the same converged solution within the tolerance of the user-specified convergence threshold. The extension of the marching-window to the weakly-ionized Navier-Stokes equations is also discussed.

Scramjets are a class of hypersonic airbreathing engine that are associated with realizing the technology required for economical, reliable access-to-space and high-speed atmospheric transport. After-burning augments the thrust produced by the scramjet nozzle and creates a more robust nozzle design. This paper presents a numerical study of three parameters and the effect that they have on thrust augmentation. These parameters include the injection pressure, injection angle and streamwise injection position. It is shown that significant levels of thrust augmentation are produced based upon contributions from increased pressure, mass flow and energy in the nozzle. Further understanding of the phenomenon by which thrust augmentation is being produced is provided in the form of a force contribution breakdown, analysis of the nozzle flowfields and finally the analysis of the surface pressure and shear stress distributions acting upon the nozzle wall.

스크램제트 연소기용 파일런 분사기를 공력가열로부터 보호하기 위한 새로운 냉각 방법을 제안하고, 이를 수치적으로 검증하였다. 비행 마하수가 8인 경우를 고려하였으며, 공기를 냉각 유체로 고려하였다. 수치연구를 위하여 3차원 Navier-Stokes 방정식과$k-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델을 이용하였다. 냉각류를 파일런 위쪽에서 하향 분사하는 방법은, 냉각류를 파일런 바닥 쪽에서 상향 분사하는 방법에 비해 적은 유량으로 더 나은 냉각효과를 나타내었다. 또한, 순압력 구배 상황에서 냉각류를 분사함으로써 분사유동의 박리가 줄어들고 파일런 분사기 앞쪽에 유동장 교란이 줄어들어, 압력손실 저감 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

The fluorescence ratio method for processing planar laser induced fluorescence(PLIF) data was generalized for quantitative imaging of the injectant mole-fraction in supersonic mixing flowfields. The original fluorescence ratio approach was introduced by Hartfield et al. for tests in a special closed-loop wind tunnel to eliminate the effects of thermodynamic property variations in compressible flowfields and to provide a quantitative means of mole-fraction measurement. However, they implicitly assumed that the tracer molecules were seeded at the same fraction in both main and secondary flows. In the present study, we proposed generalizing the Hartfield method by considering differences in the tracer seeding rates. We examined the generalized method in a mixing flowfield formed by sonic transverse injection into a Mach 1.8 supersonic air stream. The injectant molefraction distribution obtained from PLIF data processed by our new approach showed better agreement with the gas chromatograph than one based on the Hartfield method.
