Abstract
A square (SQ), rectangular (RE) and circular (CI) hollow supersonic combustor with parallel-cavity is proposed and investigated on the base configuration (BC) design by large eddy simulation (LES). At the parallel-cavity, the high temperature flame and subsonic zones are larger in RE than those in SQ and CI, but do not develop as well downstream as in SQ and CI. The total pressure recovery in CI is 0.70, which is the smallest total pressure loss among the four configurations. The fuel has high penetration ability and significant diffusion downstream in SQ and CI. The heat release power (HRP) of supersonic and diffusion combustion in SQ is 186.0 kW and 245.5 kW respectively, and the total HRP is 286.9 kW, which are the highest among the four configurations, increasing by 2.0 % compared to RE, 36.5 % compared to CI, and 3.5 % compared to BC. The rectangular and circular hollow walls facilitate supersonic-diffusion and supersonic-premixed combined combustion modes, respectively. There is better combustion with a pronounced peak of heat release in SQ, and a concentrated heat release in RE, while the heat release in CI is smoother throughout the space.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
