This is a comprehensive, critical, and pedagogical review of volumetric emission
tomography for combustion processes. Many flames that are of interest to scientists and …

The dual-mode scramjet combustor is a promising candidate for the combined cycle engine
of the hypersonic airplane, and the flame propagation and stabilization process in the dual …

This manuscript describes the wide variety of optical measurement techniques for
characterizing the flow in hypersonic wind tunnels. The introduction briefly describes …

Ignition processes in scramjet pilot cavities are highly transient events that are influenced by
factors including freestream Mach number and inlet geometry, turbulence intensity, cavity …

Hybrid large-eddy/Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations of turbulence/chemistry
interactions occurring within a ramp-injected, hydrogen-fueled scramjet combustor are …

The design and testing of a cavity flameholder in a Mach 8 rectangular-to-elliptical shape-
transitioning scramjet is presented. The experimental results presented are from the shock …

Hypersonic airbreathing engines rely on scramjet combustion processes, which involve high-
speed, compressible, and highly turbulent reacting flows. The combustion environment and …

As part of a broader effort to provide detailed measurements of turbulent flames in dual-
mode scramjets, promote a deeper understanding of the relevant combustion physics, and …

Analyses of dual-model scramjet engines often rely on the assumption of thermally perfect
gas, for which the internal modes of molecular motion are assumed to be in thermal …

Measurements were conducted at the University of Virginia Supersonic Combustion Facility
of the flow in a constant-area duct downstream of a Mach 2 nozzle. The airflow was heated …
