Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the performance and flow field features of a mixed-compression inlet shock-induced combustion ramjet (shcramjet). In a shcramjet, oncoming air is compressed with shocks in the inlet and then further compressed and mixed with hydrogen fuel in a duct prior to shock-induced combustion and expansion of the combustion products through a divergent nozzle to provide thrust. Numerical studies are undertaken using the WARP code that solves the Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations closed by the Wilcox k-o turbulence model. Hydrogen/air combustion is solved via the twenty reaction, nine species combustion model of Jachimowski. Mixing augmentation through the use of cantilevered ramp injector arrays on opposite shcramjet inlet walls is studied and the influence of relative array locations is quantified. Increased spanwise distance between adjacent injectors on opposite walls allows for increased jet penetration and fuel distributions in the center of the engine duct. Chemically reacting studies verify an air buffer is created between the fuel and walls that suppresses premature ignition while still allowing for an air based mixing efficiency of up to 0.46-0.54. Combustion is produced over aerodynamic wedges with the spatial flow variation dictating both detonation and shock-induced combustion can be present over constant angle wedges. The initial inlet angle must be as high as possible, while avoiding premature ignition, to generate the pressure in the combustor needed for significant positive thrust. Thrust production from combustion is found to be insensitive to wedge angle if combustion is initiated across the cross-sectional area. Strong recirculation regions are formed via shock/boundary layer interactions in the confined engine duct. Mitigation of the recirculation is demonstrated with correct placement of the nozzle expansion in conjunction with air blowing in the boundary layer at a mass flow rate on the order of that of the fuel injection. For flight at Mach 11 the mixed-compression inlet shcramjet is found to generate a specific impulse of 683 s in the simulation of a realistic three-dimensional flow field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renewed interest in high-speed propulsion has led to increased activity in the development of the supersonic combustion ramjet engine for hypersonic flight applications. In the hypersonic regime the scramjet engine's specific thrust exceeds that of other propulsion systems. This book, written by a leading researcher, describes the processes and characteristics of the scramjet engine in a unified manner, reviewing both theoretical and experimental research. The focus is on the phenomena that dictate the thermo-aerodynamic processes encountered in the scramjet engine, including component analyses and flowpath considerations; fundamental theoretical topics related to internal flow with chemical reactions and non-equilibrium effects, high-temperature gas dynamics, and hypersonic effects are included. Cycle and component analyses are further described, followed by flowpath examination. Finally, the book reviews experimental and theoretical capabilities and describes ground testing facilities and computational fluid dynamics facilities developed for the study of time-accurate, high-temperature aerodynamics.

Download or read book Scramjets written by Mostafa Barzegar Gerdroodbary and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scramjet engines are a type of jet engine and rely on the combustion of fuel and an oxidizer to produce thrust. While scramjets are conceptually simple, actual implementation is limited by extreme technical challenges. Hypersonic flight within the atmosphere generates immense drag, and temperatures found on the aircraft and within the engine can be much greater than that of the surrounding air. Maintaining combustion in the supersonic flow presents additional challenges, as the fuel must be injected, mixed, ignited, and burned within milliseconds. Fuel mixing, along with the configuration and positioning of the injectors and the boundary conditions, play a key role in combustion efficiency. Scramjets: Fuel Mixing and Injection Systems discusses how fuel mixing efficiency and the advantage of injection systems can enhance the performance of the scramjets. The book begins with the introduction of the supersonic combustion chamber and explains the main parameters on the mixing rate. The configuration of scramjets is then introduced with special emphasis on the main effective parameters on the mixing of fuel inside the scramjets. In addition, basic concepts and principles on the mixing rate and fuel distribution within scramjets are presented. Main effective parameters such as range of fuel concentration for the efficient combustion, pressure of fuel jet and various arrangement of jet injections are also explained. This book is for aeronautical and mechanical engineers as well as those working in supersonic combustion who need to know the effects of compressibility on combustion, of shocks on mixing and on chemical reactions, and vorticity on the flame anchoring. Explains the main applicable approaches for enhancement of supersonic combustion engines and the new techniques of fuel injection Shows how the interaction of main air stream with fuel injections can develop the mixing inside the scramjets Presents results of numerical simulations and how they can be used for the development of the combustion engines
Download or read book Combustor Inlet Interactions and Modeling of Hypersonic Dual Combustor Ramjet Engines written by Richard D. Stockbridge and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research has been to experimentally and analytically describe the inlet/combustor/exit nozzle flowfields in hypersonic DCR (Dual combustion Ramjet) engines. The experimental effort to date describes, in part, the flow characteristics in the isolator duct that conducts air supersonically from the external flowfield of the hypersonic air inlet to the supersonic combustor. This description includes the mean flow properties, the turbulent fluctuation flow properties, the boundary layer growth and the simulated precombustion compression field for an initial Mach 2.4 flow in a 20-in. long annular duct with inner and outer radii of 3.125 and 4.2 in., respectively. The analytical effort includes models that describe: (1) the recirculation region at the DCR gas generator base created by a surrounding supersonic jet; (2) the mixing and burning processes in the DCR supersonic combustor; (3) the supersonic combustor boundary layer; and (4) the nozzle flow. The models include such enhancements as finite rate, multiple species chemistry, the solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations for axisymmetric flow and energy transfer due to mass diffusion. Keywords: Combustor/inlet interactions; Shock boundary layer interactions; Skin friction and heat transfer; Mixing and combustion; Supersonic combustion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shock wave-boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is a fundamental phenomenon in gas dynamics that is observed in many practical situations, ranging from transonic aircraft wings to hypersonic vehicles and engines. SBLIs have the potential to pose serious problems in a flowfield; hence they often prove to be a critical - or even design limiting - issue for many aerospace applications. This is the first book devoted solely to a comprehensive, state-of-the-art explanation of this phenomenon. It includes a description of the basic fluid mechanics of SBLIs plus contributions from leading international experts who share their insight into their physics and the impact they have in practical flow situations. This book is for practitioners and graduate students in aerodynamics who wish to familiarize themselves with all aspects of SBLI flows. It is a valuable resource for specialists because it compiles experimental, computational and theoretical knowledge in one place.
Download or read book Investigations Into Shock Induced Enhancement of Mixing and Combustion in Supersonic Burners written by Frank E. Marble and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modifications to three major facilities at Caltech, carried out in preparation for an extensive investigation of shock enhanced mixing and combustion in supersonic combustion ramjets, has progressed according to schedule. Work is complete on the GALCIT 17-inch shock tube and on the Unsteady Combustion Facility, and they are operating as planned. Extensive improvement of the optical diagnostics and data acquisition equipment for both of these is nearly complete. Design of the new heated-hydrogen leg for the Hydrogen/Fluorine facility has been simplified considerably from the original concept and is progressing satisfactorily. Extensive computational studies of the interaction between weak shock waves and isolated regions of hydrogen embedded in air has revealed a behavior which suggests that considerable technological advantage may accrue by the use of multiple weak shocks to enhance mixing. Keywords: Supersonic combustion; Vortex burning mixing; Shear layers vorticity generation; Shock enhanced mixing.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two distinct but related basic research efforts are being investigated under the joint sponsorship of the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). The first effort is to experimentally characterize the flowfields at the entrance of supersonic combustors in hypersonic dual-combustion ramjet engines and the second is to develop the component and engine cycle analysis required to predict the internal flowfields and performance of these engines. Both are basic to the successful development of advanced, hypersonic airbreathing engines. Progress to date includes the development of a simplified axisymmetric mixing and combustion analysis and a concomitant wall boundary layer analysis which describe the major flow phenomena within the main supersonic combustor of a dual combustion ramjet engine. The experimental hardware for the combustor/inlet interaction tests is also complete and initial testing has begun. Currently, refinements to the combustion and wall boundary layer analysis with particular emphasis on the base flow/mixing region, are being pursued and testing with the combustor/inlet interaction hardware continue.
