Good agreement between the computed and experimental results for angular injection (30°) and perpendicular injection forms the basis of further analysis. More flow blockage has caused significant upstream interaction for perpendicular injection and terminal shock is seen to anchor upstream of combustor step; while for angular injection, the flow field is predominantly supersonic.

Hydrogen was injected into the flow over an inclined flat plate for oncoming Mach numbers of 7.9 to 8.0. The nozzle-supply enthalpy was kept between 3.1 and 3.4 MJ/kg and two different pressure levels were used in the tests. Measurements of surface pressures were used to infer the location of ignition but only small pressure increases were obtained when combustion occurred. Therefore multiple tests at nominally the same condition were used so that statistical methods could be used to identify the ignition lengths. The ignition lengths of the hydrogen air mixture directly behind a strong leading edge shock indicate that Pergament's method is able to predict the ignition length to within 35% for the observed autoignition over the range of conditions tested.","PeriodicalId":350070,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hypersonics","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123325415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical simulations showed that sufficiently strong reduction of ignition induction time at a reasonable energy cost can be realized with help of filamentary discharges. Starting from the discharge region, the gas mixture is heated due to exothermic reactions involving atomic oxygen and secondary chemical radicals. Temperature increment to the end of this stage for ethylene-air mixture is relatively small. An important effect of this stage is not heating but production of transient species. Then, a period with slow growth of temperature follows, which terminates by fast combustion. Processes causing the first fast growth of gas temperature are analyzed, and intermediate species controlling acceleration of ignition are determined numerically for plasma assisted combustion of stoichiometric mixture of ethylene with air. The value of the calculated induction time defined as a moment of the fast combustion is rather sensitive to the particular combustion mechanism adopted. This manifests a necessity to refine combustion mechanisms for conditions typical for scramjet combustion chamber with plasma initiation ‐ one atmosphere pressure, static gas temperature around 700 K and appearance of atomic oxygen † .","PeriodicalId":350070,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Hypersonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122459125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
