SUPERSONIC combustion inherently involves some difficulties not present in other
combustion systems. The high flow velocities in the combustor, which can reach several …

This paper presents the development of the aerodynamic-ramp-injector/plasma-torch-igniter
combination as a scramjet combustion system. The aeroramp enhances mixing by inducing …

A hydrocarbon-fuel injection and ignition/flame-holding system consisting of an
aerodynamic-ramp injector and a DC plasma-torch was designed and tested at Virginia …

SUPERSONIC combustion inherently involves difficulties not present in other combustion
systems. The high flow velocities in the combustor, which can reach several thousand …

IN comparison to hydrogen, ignition and supersonic combustion with hydrocarbon fuels is a
challenge. This is mainly because of the longer ignition delay and combustion times …

UPERSONIC combustion inherently involves difficulties not present in other combustion
systems. The high flow velocities in the combustor, which can reach several thousand …

The combustion performance of a fuel injector configuration based on two aerodynamic
ramps is reported. A wall cavity placed just downstream of the injectors provides the …

HE design of air-breathing vehicles with supersonic combustion (scramjets) has been
investigated for several decades. However, the layout of a supersonic combustion chamber …

The first integrated, flush-wall, aero-ramp-fuel-injector/plasma-torch igniter and flame
propagation system for supersonic combustion applications with hydrocarbon fuels was …
