A Mach 1.5 non-reactive flow in a cavity-stabilized combustor of a model scramjet is studied
via a direct-numerical simulation approach, and the analysis is focused on the interaction …

This paper describes a numerical and experimental investigation of the combustion process
in an ethylene-fueled scramjet combustor. The combustion process could be divided into six …

An experimental study was conducted to compare laser ignition (LI) and spark discharge
ignition (SDI) in an ethylene fueled supersonic combustor operating at a global equivalence …

Hydrocarbon fuels offer optimal high energy per volume for scramjet applications for
sustained hypersonic flight but require additional residence time due to slower ignition …

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

An upgraded airframe/engine integrated design approach for a full-waverider vehicle
considering thrust chamber design is proposed. Compared with the existing design …

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 …

The effects of inlet distortion and shockwave interaction on fuel-air distribution and ignition in
a cavity-based flameholder with supersonic flow were investigated using nanosecond-gated …

The ethylene-fueled flameholding characteristics of a cavity-based scramjet combustor are
experimentally and numerically investigated. The test facility used the air heater, which …

Scramjet combustors feature ultra-high-speed turbulent reacting flows with high
temperatures and intense luminescence. Measurement of velocity fields under such extreme …
