A rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) engine synthetically integrates a traditional rocket
engine with an airbreathing engine, effectively combining both advantages of high thrust-to …

As the “respiratory tract” of the air breathing engine, the hypersonic inlet plays the role of
compressing, decelerating, and pressurizing flow. However, research on the traditional inlet …

Rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) engines are known as the most promising type of
engine with the potential to realize 'single stage to orbit'(SSTO). This will dramatically reduce …

THE control of shock-induced separation within a supersonic inlet is critical in achieving the
desired total pressure recovery and uniformity of the flow entering the compressor. Offdesign …

The ejector mode in rocket-based combined-cycle (RBCC) engines involves complex mixing
and combustion processes between the primary and secondary streams and second fuel …

Computational simulations of reactive flow within a hydrogen-fueled scramjet-like geometry
experimentally tested in a free piston shock tunnel are presented. The experimental …

The development of a reactive flow solver suitable for large-scale simulations of high-speed
engine component flow fields is described in this paper. The intent is to mature an existing …

Evaluating the climbing performance of rocket-based combined cycle (RBCC) powered
aircraft has a guiding role for single-stage to orbit. This study establishes a new modularized …

This work focuses on a posteriori testing of a simple approach designed to account for the
effects of unresolved fluctuations on filtered chemical production rates used in large-eddy …

HIS paper can be divided into two main parts: the development of a new implicit integration
method for solving reactive flows using CFD methods, and a detailed numerical simulation …
