Flow Features

This paper is concerned with a numerical study corresponding to experimental investigation of Chinzei and co-workers on hydrogen fueled dual-mode scramjet engine essentially to understand the key features of upstream interaction, mixing and combustion. Three dimensional Navier Stokes equations along with a K-? turbulence model and infinitely fast kinetics are solved using commercial CFD software. Reasonable agreement has been obtained between the computed surface pressure with experimental values and the results of other numerical simulations. Insights into the flow features inside the combustor are obtained through analysis of various thermochemical parameters. The comparison of surface pressure with experimental results and other numerical results demonstrated that simple kinetics and turbulence – chemistry interaction model may be adequate to address the overall flow features in the combustor. A principal conclusion is that the boundary layer at the combustor entry has a pronounced effect on the flow development in the dual-mode scramjet combustor and causes significant upstream interaction.

Cavity Configuration

Scramjet based on solid propellant is a good supplement for the power device of future hypersonic vehicles. A new scramjet combustor configuration using solid fuel, namely, the solid fuel rocket scramjet (SFRSCRJ) combustor is proposed. The numerical study was conducted to simulate a flight environment of Mach 6 at a 25 km altitude. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations coupled with shear stress transport (SST) k − ω turbulence model are used to analyze the effects of the cavity and its position on the combustor. The feasibility of the SFRSCRJ combustor with cavity is demonstrated based on the validation of the numerical method. Results show that the scramjet combustor configuration with a backward-facing step can resist high pressure generated by the combustion in the supersonic combustor. The total combustion efficiency of the SFRSCRJ combustor mainly depends on the combustion of particles in the fuel-rich gas. A proper combustion organization can promote particle combustion and improve the total combustion efficiency. Among the four configurations considered, the combustion efficiency of the mid-cavity configuration is the highest, up to about 70%. Therefore, the cavity can effectively increase the combustion efficiency of the SFRSCRJ combustor.
