Fundamental Scramjet Combustion Experiments Using Hydrocarbon Fuel

Scramjet Combustion Processes

Research into hypersonic flow phenomona has been conducted by numerous groups within Australia for over 40 years. The genesis of all the modern day work can be traced back to the return of the then Dr Ray Stalker from England, to take a faculty position in the Physics Department of the Australian National University, Canberra, in 1962. Dr Stalker had a keen interest in the aerodynamics of bodie...

Predicting the Combustion Properties of Hydrocarbon Fuel Mixtures

Computational evaluation of strut based scramjet engine combustion with different conventional fuel/oxidizer

The high performance and instability in combustion chamber are the most challenging requirements for faster developments and technical advances in most of the engines. The design and development challenges of such engines are highly influenced by its combustion behavior taking place inside the combustion chamber. Studies on the injection, vaporization and combustion phenomena inside combustion ...

Methodical Aspects of Investigation of Kerosene Ignition and Combustion in Scramjet Model

Introduction The latest studies of the overall characteristics of hypersonic flying vehicles with airbreathing engines have shown that these vehicles are fairly promising. Some additional problems arise, however, that are related to the definition of the general shape of the aircraft, the choice of propulsion type and operation regimes, the engine size and position on the aircraft body. There h...

An airframe integrated scramjet propelled vehicle has advantages for application to several missions. In its simplest form, such a vehicle will combine the features of quick reaction, low vulnerability to counter attack and better propulsion efficiency. The Supersonic Combustion Ramjet (SCRAMJET) engine has been recognized as the most promising air breathing propulsion system for the hypersonic...
