Abstract
Based on the base configuration (BC) of a supersonic combustor with parallel-cavity, a two-dimensional symmetric oblique shock configuration (OS) and a three-dimensional symmetric swept shock (SS) configuration are designed. The flame stabilization mode, local combustion mode and scatter plot for the three configurations are studied by large eddy simulation (LES). The computational results for BC are in good agreement with the experimental data and images. Compared to BC, analysis of the flame stabilization model reveals that the high temperature and subsonic zones are expanded and result in the heat release to move forward in OS and SS. The effect is most obvious in SS, but the total pressure loss is the highest. There are relatively few vortex cores and smaller scale of vortex structures in SS. A modified flame index introducing mixture fraction is proposed and the filter functions for the local combustion modes are developed. Quantitative analysis indicates that the total heat release power in SS is 304.7 kW, which is the largest for the three configurations; and the heat release power for its subsonic downstream-diffusion combined combustion mode is 118.7 kW, which is the most important local combustion mode. The scatter plot shows the most pronounced effects of heat release concentrated and forward moved, mixture fraction space distribution reduced and OH backward moved in SS.
