LES of supersonic combustion in a scramjet engine model

In this study, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) has been used to examine supersonic flow and combustion in a model scramjet combustor. The LES model is based on an unstructured finite volume discretization, using total variational diminishing flux reconstruction, of the filtered continuity, momentum, enthalpy, and passive/reactive scalar equations, used to describe the combustion process. The configuration used is similar to the laboratory scramjet at the Institute for Chemical Propulsion of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and consists of a one-sided divergent channel with a wedge-shaped flameholder at the base of which hydrogen is injected. Here, we investigate supersonic flow with hydrogen injection and supersonic flow with hydrogen injection and combustion. For the purpose of validation, the LES results are compared with experimental data for velocity and temperature at different cross-sections. In addition, qualitative comparisons are also made between predicted and measured shadowgraph images. The LES computations are capable of predicting both the non-reacting and reacting flowfields reasonably well—in particular we notice that the LES model identifies and differentiates between peculiarities of the flowfields found in the experiments.     

Effect of cavity location on combustion flow field of integrated hypersonic vehicle in near space

Abstract  

The cavity has been widely employed as the flame holder to prolong the residence time of fuel in supersonic flows since it improves the combustion efficiency in the scramjet combustor, and also imposes additional drag on the engine. In this paper, the two-dimensional coupled implicit Reynolds Average Navier–Stokes equations, the RNG k–ε turbulence model and the finite-rate/eddy-dissipation reaction model have been employed to numerically simulate the combustion flow field of an integrated hypersonic vehicle. The effect of cavity location on the combustion flow field of the vehicle has been investigated, and the fuel, namely hydrogen, was injected upstream of the cavity on the walls of the first stage combustor. The obtained results show that the viscous lift force, drag force and pitching moment of the vehicle are nearly unchanged by varying the cavity location over the location range and designs considered in this article, namely the configurations with single cavity, double cavities in tandem and double cavities in parallel. The variation of the fuel injection strategy affects the separation of the boundary layer, and the viscous effect on the drag force of the vehicle is remarkable, but the viscous effects on the lift force and the pitching moment are both small and they can be neglected in the design process of hypersonic vehicles. In addition to varying the location of the cavities, three fuel injection configurations were considered. It was found that one particular case can restrict the inlet unstart for the scramjet engine.

CFD analysis of the HyShot II scramjet combustor

The development of novel air-breathing engines such as supersonic combustion ramjets (scramjets) depends on the understanding of supersonic mixing, self-ignition and combustion. These aerothermochemical processes occur together in a scramjet engine and are notoriously difficult to understand. In the present study, we aim at analyzing the HyShot II scramjet combustor mounted in the High Enthalpy Shock Tunnel Göttingen (HEG) by using Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models with detailed and reduced chemistry. To account for the complicated flow in the HEG facility a zonal approach is adopted in which RANS is used to simulate the flow in the HEG nozzle and test-section, providing the necessary inflow boundary conditions for more detailed RANS and LES of the reacting flow in the HyShot combustor. Comparison of predicted wall pressures and heat fluxes with experimental data show good agreement, and in particular does the LES agree well with the experimental data. The LES results are used to elucidate the flow, mixing, self-ignition and subsequent combustion processes in the combustor. The combustor flow can be separated into the mixing zone, in which turbulent mixing from the jet-in-cross flow injectors dominates, the self-ignition zone, in which self-ignition rapidly takes place, and the turbulent combustion zone, located towards the end of the combustor, in which most of the heat release and volumetric expansion takes place. Self-ignition occurs at some distance downstream of the injectors, resulting in a distinct pressure rise further downstream due to the volumetric expansion as observed in the experiments. The jet penetration is about 30% of the combustor height and the combustion efficiency is found to be around 83%.
